Seen here wriggling its way under central London to the north-eastern suburbs.
Converted to monochrome.
Oystercatcher on the wing and skimming the surface of the river. This bird had it's young tucked under the river bank just up from my position, I was able to get some shots as it kept returning to feed the chicks.
I sit on the banks of the fast flowing
river, dipping my feet in the ice cold
water. I feel the cold tingle through me.
There's a mischief to it, that's infectious.
I splash the water on my face. The layers
of dirt on my heart washed, I feel alive.

The well known dip in the road between Farleigh Wallop and Ellisfield. Cyclists either love it or hate it depending on their fitness levels. For those who manage a fast descent from Ellisfield they can almost get to the top of the rise this side with the momentum. Going towards Ellisfield is far more difficult, quite a challenge these steep hills of the Downswww.stanhd.com
There are bees galore around the delphiniums.This one totally disappeared into this opening bud. Wishing you all, dear friends and visitors a wonderful weekend.Thank you so much for your visits and kind comments:-)
The title refers to a dip in the dock or a dip in the water or both. It is funny that the dock only fell in right in the middle. It looks like a lot of the decking boards are missing. I think the entire dock would have to be repaired which is running about twenty thousand dollars right now. My guess is that this is a dangerous, deteriorated, decayed, defunct dock. I am sure I am missing some descriptive “D” words. Have at it please. The more the better.
Osprey ~ (Pandion haliaetus)
Buy-One-Get-One-Free! An ambitious (and lucky) Osprey comes up with two fish after a dive. I believe these are freshwater Mullet, but please feel free to correct me! When the Osprey first came up, I was not sure what I was looking at. It was one of those 'back of the camera' surprises.
Thanks for visiting!
I was able to capture our friends on a parasail ocean dip with my D3100 and a zoom lens. I wasn't going to participate this week due to being on vacation/holiday, but got lucky with this week's Crazy Tuesday's theme "Liquid in motion". The expressions are priceless...zoom in to see them.
My stress-squeezed week is almost free of its greasy, choking grip.
In lieu of any meaningful commentary where I say words that are funny, insightful, or interesting, I offer only this picture. And a promise that I'll get back to saying more interesting things -- ideally, on your photostreams -- post-Friday.
All right.
Good talk, I'll see you out there.
Rathaus underground station in Cologne, Germany
A pleasing contrast of midnight blue and silvery gleam
When completed, the new north–south suburban railway line in Cologne will have eight stops. While the last stretch of the line is scheduled to come into operation in 2016, Rathaus station has already proven itself fit for everyday operation. Located directly beneath the historic market, Rathaus underground station provides quick and convenient access to the centre of Cologne's historic Altstadt (old town) district, which was previously only accessible by bus.
The station, covering almost 3,000 m², lies 16 metres below ground. Its design is characterised by a fresh contrast of midnight blue and silver. A large proportion of the wall area is velvety-smooth blue, while the ceilings and certain sections of the walls are a shiny silver. The walls and ceilings are clad in hot-dip galvanised and powdercoated steel sheet modules, which are perforated in the ceiling area so that they also absorb sound.
Above the entrances, main traffic areas and footpaths throughout the station, WE-EF DOC240 recessed exterior downlights ensure excellent visibility and safety as well as aid orientation. The luminaires had to be integrated into various building situations – either installed in circular sections of the expanded metal ceilings or combined with an installation tube and mounted directly on the concrete ceilings. The DOC240 downlights in the underground station have proven to be versatile, not just in terms of the installation and mounting options, but also in relation to lighting techniques.
While the stairways and escalators are illuminated from a relatively high position, the height between floors in the main traffic areas is rather low. With different light sources in varying wattages – in this case HIT and CFL lamps, and two symmetric light distributions [M] medium and [EE] very narrow beam – the WE-EF luminaires provide exactly the right amount of light for the unique spaces.
All DOC240 downlights used in this project are fitted with vibration protection in order to extend their service life. Luminaires mounted at especially high installation positions are equipped with a device to lower the luminaire to facilitate ease of maintenance.

One of my favorite spots out west was this beautiful view in Darling, Arizona. We're looking back at the San Francisco Peaks just east of Flagstaff as an eastbound train hustles out of the famous 'Darling dip' beginning the next leg of their journey across the high desert to Belen, New Mexico.
Not a canoe but dedicated to Dean anyway. I shot this through some grasses to get the near bokeh-like effect.

Watching these guys forage is like watching a ballet...
American Avocet (Recurvirostra americana)
Dare county, NC
It feels like everyone has gotten sick of the MRL shots so I thought I'd switch it up a bit. Getting ready to move ahead after swapping their loads for empties with the UP, the track takes a sharp swing uphill leaving Plummer... a 6 axle might scrape the fuel tank here!
The 'Dipping bridge' dates back to the late 15th or early 16th century, and straddles the River Ogmore near Merthyr Mawr, south Wales.
It gets its name from the two openings in the parapets, which were used for sheep washing.
Sunrise this morning (25/11) at my nearest beach. There's a group who go swimming at first light 365 days of the year, rain or shine. I often think they're mad, especially in stormy weather. This morning it was definitely shine, the sea as calm as it will ever be.
(The location data can't pinpoint the beach. It's Langland Bay, near Swansea.)
