Happisburgh became a site of national archaeological importance in 2010 when flint tools over 800,000 years old were unearthed. This is the oldest evidence of human occupation anywhere in the UK.[3] In May 2013, a series of early human footprints were discovered on the beach at the site, providing direct evidence of early human activity at the site.[4]

Titan Pipeline Defence
I joined the Octan Security Services straight out of the Spaceforce. After a four year tour on Earth's moon trying to keep the locals under control while resentment of Earth-gov control became endemic. The final uprising, caused by a Spaceforce ship crashing into a school bus was nasty and I saw things. Things no one should see, things I won't talk about.
So here I am on Titan, sixth moon of Saturn, where the rocks are made of water, hard as granite and the rivers and lakes are liquid hydrocarbons, methane and ethane, all the 'thanes' as Gunther puts it. Gunther is my boss here, he basically sits in the control room and tells us where the Meth-Roaches are swarming, he's okay, pretty messed up from stuff he saw on the moon too though.
Meth-Roaches? Yeah, well when humans got here to Titan there was no life, not even bacteria. Great for the oil companies of course, nothing for the hippies to protest about. The Mars settlers wanted to burn hydrocarbons to create an atmosphere, the oil companies had a nice new supply of them. All great, but 'life finds a way' as that old movie put it. The bacteria mutated first, but we weren't watching for that then the roaches first learned to cope with the intense cold, then somehow their mitochondrial DNA started to run on methane instead of oxygen. The scientists tell me it was probably from eating the bacteria. Then they took the moon for themselves, titanic Roaches on Titan. Almost funny.
Most of them eat the bacteria or each other, the problem is the pipelines are slightly warmer, so the bacteria grow more around them, the Methane Roaches (Meth-Roaches) chomp on it, lots of leaks follow.
So I'm a bug squisher! We can shoot them if there's good cause, but firing lasers has a small chance of igniting the landscape (if we hit a pocket of frozen oxygen) and the gattling-railgun is hard to get ammunition for, so we generally stamp on them, they crunch quite satisfyingly. The pays pretty good, too and there are no Lunar-citizens throwing IED's at me. In another five years when my contract is done I should be able to buy a house in an area of Earth where the environment is still reasonable or maybe Mars, lots of room on Mars. Life is good.

Fougères is a town on the edge of Brittany, Maine and Normandy and named after a fern or from "fous" which means "fossé" ["gap"] (in Brittany and Normandy, a gap is a terrace of land formed by the excavations made on each side of the terrace, and serving as a separation between two properties).

Pan Asian troops have been inserted in Kanagawa because of the rumor that US troops were their way to Tokyo with the objective to make sure no American soldiers were left on Japanese soil. Scouts and small platoons were placed in buildings to scout for any American activity and to prevent enemy forces to secure the area. Platoon 36-B discovered what might be US troops in the Takashi tower and a special ops team have been sent to the tower for searching.

A type 26/FW3 pillbox sits atop the soft cliffs at Happisburgh. It knows its fate. Like everything along here, it will be consumed by the North Sea.

I went to New Brighton yesterday to take some photos in the day. i totally forgot its the summer holidays and the place was packed so there was no chance of getting any long exposures near the light house and the tide was already pretty high anyway. so i headed down to the breakers near the Lifeguard station. its the first time i've taken photos there but i've seen it done many times before. i'd love to give it another go at sunset

In Hull, we decided to push through to Spurn-point.
Spurn is a narrow sand tidal island located off the tip of the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England that reaches into the North Sea and forms the north bank of the mouth of the Humber Estuary.
It was a spit with a semi-permanent connection to the mainland, but a storm in 2013 made the road down to the end of Spurn impassable to vehicles at high tide.
The southernmost tip is known as Spurn Head or Spurn Point and is the home to an RNLI lifeboat station and two disused lighthouses.
Over time, the whole spit, length intact, slips back – with the spit-head remaining on its glacial foundation.
This process has now been affected by the protection of the spit put in place during the Victorian era.
This protection halted the wash-over process and resulted in the spit being even more exposed due to the rest of the coast moving back 110 yards (100 m) since the 'protection' was constructed.
The now crumbling defences will not be replaced and the spit will continue to move westwards at a rate of 2.2 yards (2 m) per year, keeping pace with the coastal erosion further north.
We were there when it was still accessible!
It is a nature reserve.
Three and a half miles long and only fifty meters wide in places on the left side of the estuary of the river Humber.
There are a series of sea defence works built by the Victorians and maintained by the Ministry of defence, till they sold Spurn to the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust in the 1950s.
The defences are in a poor state, breaking down and crumbling, making Spurn a very fragile place wide open to the ravages of the North Sea.
It is a unique place, qua fauna and flora, very protected; there weren't many people on that Good Friday.
This is what is left of the sea defences on the North Sea side, eerie, tragic, but extremely photogenic...
Have a sweet day and thank you, M, (*_*)
