Here is Johnny's Silent cop NOT Copper!
A silent cop, also referred to as a "sleeping policeman" or a "traffic dome", is a traffic management device formerly widely used in Australia. It consisted of a metal or concrete dome, about 400 mm (16 in) wide and about 125 mm (5 in) tall, embedded in the road surface. They were usually painted yellow and often decorated with retro-reflective glass beads or "cats eyes". The name has its origins from the Northern Beaches area of Sydney and was derived from the early days of motoring when policemen would be deployed at busy street corners to direct traffic, before traffic signals became widespread.
Silent cops were placed in the middle of street intersections at cross roads, and turning drivers were expected to drive around one, keeping it to the right of the vehicle when turning right or left. They were also placed in the centre of the terminating street at T-intersections to force drivers turning in or out of the street to be on the correct side of the road rather than cut the corner.
The use of "silent cops" has been phased out in Australia, due to changes in the recommended method of performing turns (the introduction of the diamond turn at signalised intersections), and the hazard they posed to motorcyclists and pedestrians.
..."si no es preveu una entrada de vent del nord (tramuntana), el millor és fer els preparatius de sortida ben ràpidament i sortir el mateix dia de l’embarcament.
Si, en canvi, hi ha tramuntana, cal tenir en compte que aquest vent es va enfortint a mesura que es remunta la costa.
Amb tramuntana hi ha dos llocs claus de pas.
El primer és el Cap de Begur a partir del qual la tramuntana es fa bastant més forta.
El segon és el Cap de Creus, que pot resultar infranquejable ja que en aquest indret el vent, la mar i el corrent són normalment molt forts en condicions de vent del nord..."

Wind gust.
If, on the other hand, there is a northerly wind, it must be borne in mind that this wind is getting stronger as the coast rises.
With Tramuntana there are two key places of passage.
The first is Cap de Begur from which the north wind becomes much stronger.
The second is Cap de Creus, which can be insurmountable because in this place the wind, the sea and the current are usually very strong in northerly wind conditions ... "

Imagina que un cop de vent de tramuntana banya els ceps de l'Empordà.
Ara imagina que aquest cop de vent es transforma en un vi negre.
"Aquest és un vi únic, fruit d’una climatologia difícil. De ceps embogits per la tramuntana. De raïm beneït pel vent.”
Ara ja pots deixar d'imaginar. El tens més a prop del que imagines.

"Robats d'estiu" en un dia de tramuntana a la Platja dels Griells/L'Estartit (Costa Brava) CAT.

Windstrike
Imagine a north wind blow horn strains of Emporda.
Now imagine that gust of wind is transformed into a wine.
"This is a unique wine, fruit of difficult weather. In the north crazed stocks. Grape blessed by the wind."
Now you can stop imagining. You got closer than you think.

"Stolen Summer" in a day on the beach north of Griells / Estartit (Costa Brava) CAT.
Another evening of night photography at Copped Hall and blessed again with superb weather. Here the constellation of Orion lines up with the entrance to our southern garden.
I saw these cops and asked them for an informal shot. My experience has been that cops from El Paso are the friendliest I have encountered compared to cops from other large cities. Film processed and scanned by Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas.
Copia del Giraldillo, la veleta que corona la Giralda. Se encuentra a nivel del suelo en la Puerta del Príncipe de la Catedral de Sevilla. Ocupó el lugar del original durante la restauración del mismo entre los años 1999 y 2005.
