This section of the aqueduct is in the Mojave Desert, which is prone to flash floods. This narrow concrete structure goes across the aqueduct and allows flood waters from one side of the aqueduct to spill over to the other side and not enter the aqueduct water.
Last minute 48 hour trip taking in a few new spots and some old locations. 17 hour days and mixed weather added to the fun.

ODC – Contrast
I wanted to take a photo of my favorite wine bottle on a pitch black background, with just two strips of light iluminating the outline of the glass bottle. So I went to the hardware store on the weekend and bought some material to build a DIY lightbox that I could control with white and black cloth.
The photo turned out just like I wanted. I learned quite a few interesting things with this experiment. For example, if you place the bottle directly between the light sources, the reflection will not outline the edge of the bottle but move towards the center. To outline the edge you have to place the bottle in front of the light source. Unfortunately, then not enough light falls on any flowers in the bottle, so you have to light them separately.
But the most important thing I learned is that these DIY hacks work in a pinch but are not very reliable. The light was difficult to control and I spent an entire afternoon and evening to get it right. What I really need is a proper softbox with a grid. (Goes off for some online shopping.)
To restore the important role of fire, Parks Canada now uses prescribed fire, which was first used in Banff National Park in 1983.
I took this pictures in the Sawback area on the Bow Valley Parkway, where the prescribed burn was used in 1993.
Taylor Swift tries to control her hair against the wind as she visits St. Paul’s Cathedral with a few friends in London on Thursday (May 7).
The 19-year-old country sensation tweeted, “Went to St. Paul’s Cathedral today. Four hundred gazillion stairs + being scolded three different times for having my camera out = fun.”
Taylor performed to a sold-out crowd last night at Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

The Harrison Executive Centre is a 6-story modern office building that has 52,847-square feet. It was completed in 2004 and has over 211 parking spaces. This architectural style was chosen to blend in with the other buildings in the historic downtown arts district along Harrison Street.
Due to hurricanes hitting this area quite often, impact glass windows were added during construction. The tenants here have 24 hours access with no after-hours charges. Individual a/c units with climate control 24/7 were also included in the plan of the building.
Other amenities include high ceilings, increased floor loads, more wattage power per foot, backup power, fiber optic technology, and granite lobbies.
Tenants have access to covered spaces from the City of Hollywood parking garage where monthly parking passes are available.

General contractor: JJW Construction, Inc.

Mindlessly broken or to stop unwanted flooding? A shame they weren't just jammed if it was to stop unwanted flooding and such a waste if it was just vandalism. River Don opposite Seaton park.
I went out for a small walk in the Forest on Saturday. It is the first time I have felt fit enough to walk since I had Covid back in December. There were signs up letting people know that controlled burning was taking place. Though seeing these huge flames would have told us that. We didn't stay out long as it was so cold. The wind was biting
"The law permits controlled burning each year from the first working day in November until the last working day of March. However, in practice it generally starts in early February because the worst of the winter weather is over, there are no birds nesting or animals producing young, the vegetation is still quite dry and the damp ground offers protection to the peaty soil. The process is strictly controlled and only a small percentage of the heathland is burned each year (on average 400 hectares) and only then in rotation, which traditionally is once every generation (about 25 years). A firebreak is first established around the area to be burned, which is made by using a cutting machine. The firebreaks are used to prevent the spread of flames to other parts of the heathland. Only skilled and experienced staff are permitted to undertake controlled burning of the heathland
