Current Day RAF (circa. 2009)
View allAll Photos Tagged Currents
A long exposure at Haycock Point near Pambula on the Sapphire Coast NSW. Interesting to see the currents after using a long exposure. I was down on the rock platform earlier but the tide was coming in and later much of the rock platform would be under water. The height above is not as evident in this photo. After the steps there is a sloping rock formation to walk down, which is okay unless you stumble. Much easier climbing back up! The sea is the Tasman. Lee Big Stopper and Little Stopper used.
With the lack of opportunity to move freely during Covid 19, I decided to take a series of shots of reflections in the local streams, ponds, ditches and a short stretch of the River Thames.
Egyptian Goose - Alopochen Aegyptiacus
Once common along the entire Nile valley and regarded as sacred in ancient times, the Egyptian Goose is no longer an easy bird to see in the country from which it takes its name, as it is largely confined to upper Egypt. It is, however, widespread and common throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with introduced populations firmly established in England, Holland, Belgium and France. Concerns over conflict with native species has led to restrictions on keeping them in Britain and Europe.
This distinctive small goose is a member of the shelduck family. In the wild it is invariably found in pairs or family parties, while flocks of 50 or more can be found after the breeding season. The sexes are similar: both have a conspicuous chestnut patch encircling the eyes, giving them a somewhat piratical appearance, while the brilliant white forewing is obvious when they fly.
The UK Invasive Alien Species (Enforcement and Permitting) Order 2019 came into force on Sunday 1st December. The Order implements requirements contained in EU Regulation 1143/2014 on Invasive Alien Species, which sets out rules to prevent and minimise the impact of the introduction and spread of non-native animals and plants across the EU. The Order makes it an offence, amongst other things, to import, keep, sell, transport, breed or release into the environment, any of the listed plants and animals. Invasive alien waterfowl currently covered by this Order are Egyptian Geese and Ruddy Ducks Oxyura jamaicensis.

Ein reinrassiges, schnelles Seekajak im britischen Design. Das passige, flache Cockpit und das Unterschiff mit leichtem Kielsprung verleihen ihm eine beeindruckende Seetauglichkeit. Ein Kajak für fortgeschrittene, kleine bis mittelgroße Paddler, die einen engen Bootskontakt bevorzugen. Der CYPRESS spricht sofort auf technische Manöver an, wirkt aber dennoch nicht kippelig. Ob Brandungspaddelei oder Tour, in diesem Kajak kommen paddlerische Fähigkeiten voll zur Geltung.
Schnelles und wendiges Boot, hohe Endstabilität, besonders im Sturm und bei Wellengang, nichts für Anfänger und für größere Personen, da das Boot sehr schmal ist.

The Broads are manmade waterways. Along with many other mills, Horsey Mill was built to drain the water to create more farmland. Here are some facts quoted from. www.nationaltrustscones.com/2019/10/horsey-windpump.html?m=1
“Here are some historical facts:
There has been a drainage mill on the site since the early 1700s
There are similar mills dotted all around this part of Norfolk - by draining the land using wind power, landowners could make more area available for farming
Drainage continues today - there's an electric pump doing all the work these days, but if it wasn't there then the area would be flooded:
The area used to be an island used for grazing or keeping horses (hence the name), with one access road that regularly flooded
The current windpump structure was built in 1912 on the foundations of the 19th century mill
Horsey Windpump was working until 1943 when it was struck by lightning
It was acquired by the National Trust and has been restored - its sails were set in motion for the first time in 76 years in May this year, which must have been a great moment
As with all mills, it's not the most accessible property - there are several floors and 61 steps to negotiate to get right to the top, most of which are very narrow (I can report that the young sconepals cared not a jot about this and were scampering up the stairs like squirrels)”
The current day Wheeling is soaring over the former NYC on the original Wheeling with 111 cars on the drawbar behind 4 SD40-2's. Both lines are now owned by NS and Oak Harbor has long been a 'classic' railroad location but this perspective is only available from the air. Oak Harbor, OH 3/7/2021
Current
May. Rain has been pounding the Adirondacks for several days, and supersaturated the mountains. Seasonal streams have awakened, runoff and percolation feed the flow, all that water finding it’s lowest level and charging the whole Schroon ecosystem. Some miles below the dam at the lake, the river picks up speed on gradients through boulder fields, now inundated and drowned under the flow. They are immovable, their resistance invisible but for the standing waves throughout the volume. A light mist hovers above the raging current. Standing this close, I can feel the vibration of it’s power, urging my blood pressure higher to match the atmosphere I’m in. Here is spring as allegory to life, the relentless wildness of youth, bursting to race ahead towards that age when you don’t. What I wouldn’t give to truly feel that voltage again, and know the trajectory of where I was headed, instead of treading, spent, looking back at where I’ve come. I stay awhile on the edge of the surge, enjoying the power of the season.
With current temperatures in the seventies around our cabin, and in the eighties just to the north of us - Doc and I decided it was a good time to do a little traveling before borders open, and travel to our state resumes. So off we went . . .
After recent torrential rains, the Slana Slough looked so pretty in its summer greens, that I couldn't resist taking another shot of the area. The Mentasta Mountains are in the background.
Part of the Wind River Canyon (Wyoming), as its rapids work toward the awaking light! Great Trout water with limited access.
We've been experiencing a lot of cloudy weather recently and very little sun so, I was grateful for a short sunny period while I took this reflection in a channel of water flowing between buildings in Kingston.
The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral, seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen's Cathedral, has witnessed many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has become one of the city's most recognizable symbols with its multi-colored tile roof. It has 256 stairs from the top to the bottom
I worked outside.
that was good.
my general mood.
not good.
NO MORE WAR
**my apologies for my lack of commenting. I have been so tired by nightfall that I can't think.
I will resume asap.
Last week I visited the wildlife park and although I missed the "Bird of Prey Show" I lucked out because the keeper talked to someone he know and I got the chance to ask for some portrait pictures.
Currently located just outside the boundaries of Snæfellsjökull National Park, the town of Hellnar is the largest of the fishing villages on the south side of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. It has been that way for centuries. A church was first built at this site in the village in 1833. The church in the photo was constructed in 1945.
