Elevated Bow River levels and temporary flood‑mitigation measures, include barriers and berms, due to heavy rainfall and snowmelt.
The sandbags being used for Calgary’s temporary riverbank protection are not the small hand‑filled bags you’d see at a hardware store. They are large industrial flood‑control bags, typically:
1 to 1.5 metres long
0.5 to 1 metre high when filled
Filled by heavy equipment, not by hand
Used to build temporary berms or reinforce eroding banks

I'm a Mancuian. Eport born but feel like a Mancunian. But I love it here, New Brighton has so much to offer. From the Lake, to Harrisons Drive, the lighthouse obviously, Perch Rock, the beach etc, to the Liverpool skyline, and the sea defences Feels like home:)
After many days of rough and stormy weather our beaches have taken a battering.
Our beaches here in my area are mostly shingle and it gets washed away in an Easterly direction, Behind the bulldozer there must have been a good ten foot drop to the sand below.
Behind me where I took this shot a matter of a few meters away, a few houses would be in danger if this work was not done, I suspect the machines will be working again this coming week.
The driver had just got in that machine so I went over and asked, could I have ago, sadly he said no, I always wanted a Tonka toy.
On another note I received an E Mail purporting to be from the Flickr Team, saying my account needed verification and would be restricted due to
terms of service and acceptable use policy, automatic processing of new orders and transactions will be paused pending verification. And then a link to click, Needless to say I have not touched that link but have contacted Flickr support to report this possible scam.
Just beware of any strange Flickr Emails.
The somewhat dilapidated sea defences at Happisburgh on the Norfolk Coast. 20sec exposure in reasonably rough seas.
Early morning on the coast at Cramond... somewhere was getting a great sunrise... it wasn't here!
These are old wartime defences built to prevent U-boats from traversing the forth channel. They only become visible at lowtide, leading out to Cramond Island.
Robin said the structures look like giant hands praying. In all my time visiting here I've never noticed that before, but they completely do!
Best viewed larger.

Yeah.

Spearhead defence is taking on members, if you fancy trying out feel free, the style is pretty easy to get along with, futuristic/modern weapons, with a slight cyber punk mix,
Another shot from Rossall Point near Fleetwood. As I was walking back to the car I spotted this dog walker on the beach and chanced this shot.
There has been a lot of construction work going on here with the beach being churned up and the groynes are being enhanced with rocks and concrete ramps being added to the sea defences. I thought this one made a nice lead-in.
Early morning frost on breakwater.

Another day (our last on the west coast of Hokkaido), another tetrapod sea defence. I don't do so many dramatic, high-contrast black and white images anymore, but this scene seemed to call for it.
From the archives: Hokkaido, Japan, 2019.
I wrote a blog post if you'd like to know more about the trip to Hokkaido. As well, if you'd like, take a look at all my images from two trips to Japan.

Black and white image taken on the beach at Overstrand on the north Norfolk coast showing the incoming tide swirling around the old sea defences.
After waiting for a few years, the old sea defence at Caister has revealed itself from below the sand.
