One of 42 bridges in our 100 mile chain of islands in the Florida Keys. View from my Jeep headed North.

This abandoned house barely managed to stand, yet its front door seemed new, much like the window panes on the top floor. The semicircular awning is highly unusual in Manitoba, which makes this location quite unique.
After an early morning passage of this famous and very scenic channel, suddenly the sun came out and the clouds disappeared. A magic moment...
Early morning colour over the channel that exits from Nundah and Cabbage Tree creeks into Moreton Bay at Shorncliffe. It was certainly a very busy channel with plenty of small boats buzzing through it to get out into the bay for some early morning fishing, no doubt at their secret fishing spots with the incoming tide.
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
Sunset time last night, looking down the channel, from Channel Island Power station, in the direction of Channel Point, Northern Territory. There was some lightning in here but did not manage to capture any.
Neumayer Channel. This channel was extremely narrow and made for a spectacular photo opportunity for the ships company.
The only chance to get Al off the deck staring at Vermont TV all day (see photo below) is to get him out on the boat so he is actually in his favorite... excuse the pun... channel...

Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, short, thick hair, and a big chest and belly. Together with the fur seals, they comprise the family Otariidae, eared seals, which contains six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean. They have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 2.4 m (8 ft) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 1.8 m (6 ft) long. The largest sea lion is Steller's sea lion, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 3.0 m (10 ft). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 6.8–15.9 kg (15–35 lb)) at a single feeding. Sea lions can move around 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) in water and at their fastest they can reach a speed of about 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). Three species, the Australian sea lion, the Galápagos sea lion and the New Zealand sea lion, are listed as endangered. 61535
Prawle Point South Hams Coast Devon.
"Ramblings"
"sunday wor-ship"
A much needed sunday outing along the south hams coast with sunny spells and no rain forecast (nippy north-westerly breese)
Watched the sunrise from prawle point coastguard lookout station (southernmost tip of devon)
Start point would have been the better choice if you were after a colourful seascape sunrise session.
But what it lacked in colour around prawle point was made up for with some brief moody light over the channel.
Rewarding days birding and what a difference a few more weeks into early spring.
The rock pipits and wagtails were lively and in good numbers down along the rocky coast.
Plenty of stonechats showing ontop of the gorse and scrub along with my first male wheatear (two spotted) of the season.
Early evening and my last location of the day I had fairly good numbers of yellow hammers showing quite well along the hedgerows and stone walls and a good few common linnet flying around (not seen or herd any whitethroat yet)
Lost the light around 5pm but I had a nice bonus watching a few active hares around some inland fields.
This being the first time I have seen hares around this area and as I spend quite a bit of my time birding at this location throughout the year I was quite surprised I had not noticed them before.
On a couple of occasions during late spring 2022 early mornings I have watched fox from a distance stalking this area
and I am sure they are wise to a good hunting location.
My last project of the 2022, based on two nights in Negev desert during July 27 and September 22. I had plans to dedicate one extra night to capture H-alpha and Oxygen channels but it's currently put indefinitely on hold.
This star field of the Milky Way is rich not only in stars but also in a mixture of dark and bright nebulae, Herbig–Haro objects, few small emission nebulae and open star clusters (check to see attached annotated image showing location of these objects).
What looks like one regular star has a secret:
"A variable star V1331 Cyg harbors HH389 object and lights up the small reflection nebula around it (GN 20.59.5.01) forming an arc around the variable star. The reflection nebula is the dust left from the creation of the star that's lit by the star it created. As such it takes on pretty much the color of the illuminating star. Radiation pressure from the star likely created the arc as it pushed away the dusty cocoon of its birth. The star seems out of center indicating this dust may be piling up at a shock front as it moves through the very dusty interstellar medium in this part of the galaxy."

Ancient water channels, which today give rise to these beautiful waterfalls located in the center of Asturias
Had a trip over to Bosham, West Sussex to capture the sunset last Sunday, the tide was low but calm still conditions for the reflections.
Not much colour in the sky but it was pleasant way to spend an hour or so walking around in the mud contemplating life!!!
1/160 second exposure using a Lee 0.9 + 0.6 (reversed) ND grad filters.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
I’m seeing the new Matrix movie this weekend and was inspired by the gorgeous Carrie Anne-Moss to put together this faux leather look. If Keanu is listening, I’m available for the next installment if Carrie bows out or as John Wick’s new love interest. Give me a call😉😘
Aquesta nova localització per a les meves fotografies de trens la hi dec a la informació que em va facilitar el meu bon amic Oriol Paris Escursso .
Per la llarga recta de Bellvei, la 253.018 al capdavant del Channel Tunnel Express, un habitual del corredor del Mediterrani, que transporta peces fabricades en Dagenham, Anglaterra, fins a la factoria que la FORD té a Almussafes.
El que més crida la meva atenció és que els vehiculos ja acabats estan situats al principi, quan normalment ho fan darrere dels vagons tancats.
