I didn't venture out yesterday during the storm, but this morning I had a toddle along the seafront. I was amazed to see this window cleaner at work, at 8.40am.
Then about 20/30 minutes later I walked by 2 other seafront resturants and their windows were clean and sparkling.
This Pederson cleaner shrimp was difficult to get in focus because it felt compelled to climb onto the camera lens. A small group of them were scattered atop some brain coral and every time I came in for a shot, they'd creep closer to the lens.

I couldn't decide between the black & white version (cleaner but cooler) and the color version (a warmer tone).
From www_abbayedefontenay_com: Abbey Church of Fontenay is one of the oldest Cistercian churches in the world. Built between 1139 and 1147, it is also one of the few Cistercian churches of the twelfth century to have survived intact until today.
According to the will of St. Bernard and the General Chapter of the Cistercian Order, nothing in the church was to distract the eye so that all could be turned to God during the daily offices. That is why this building was designed with simplicity and is a model of Burgundian Romanesque architecture: Latin cross plan, bare facade, simple foliage sculptures for the capitals, and single row of side windows.
This simplicity hides many details and special attention to harmony and symbolism, particularly as regards the proportions or the number of bays.
The choir is covered with glazed tiles of the XII and XIII centuries. There is also a remarkable carved altarpiece of the thirteenth century, and a set of gravestones, including that of the English bishop of Norwich Ebrard, who financed the construction of the Abbey Church.
The Abbey Church impresses with its remarkable state of preservation, its dimensions, its rigorous simplicity and its special light. There is an atmosphere of calm and serenity inviting contemplation and meditation.
Fontenay Abbey in Burgundy was founded in 1118 by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, an important French saint, and is the oldest preserved Cistercian abbey in the world. The monks were forced to leave the abbey by the French revolution. After the revolution it was converted to an industrial use, which preserved all the Romanesque-period buildings: the Abbey Church, the Dormitory, Cloister, Chapter Room, the Common Room, and the Forge. Since 1820 the abbey has been owned by the same family. It was recognized as French historic monument in 1862 and was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1981.

If it involved looking at this beauty, I wouldn't mind getting taken to the cleaners.

Modern dry cleaning's use of non-water-based solvents to remove soil and stains from clothes was reported as early as 1855. The potential for petroleum-based solvents was recognized by French dye-works operator Jean Baptiste Jolly, who offered a new service that became known as nettoyage à sec—i.e., dry cleaning. Flammability concerns led William Joseph Stoddard, a dry cleaner from Atlanta, to develop Stoddard solvent (white spirit) as a slightly less flammable alternative to gasoline-based solvents. The use of highly flammable petroleum solvents caused many fires and explosions, resulting in government regulation of dry cleaners. After World War I, dry cleaners began using chlorinated solvents. These solvents were much less flammable than petroleum solvents and had improved cleaning power.
On March 3, 1821, Thomas L. Jennings became the first African-American to be granted a United States patent. The patent was for his invention of a cleaning process called "dry scouring," which was the precursor to dry cleaning.
By the mid-1930s, the dry cleaning industry had adopted tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene), or PCE for short, as the solvent. It has excellent cleaning power and is nonflammable and compatible with most garments. Because it is stable, tetrachloroethylene is readily recycled.
