This lighthouse was built in 1856 at the southern entrance to Chaleur Bay by Quebec Trinity House, which then supervised navigation on the St. Lawrence River and the Gulf. Considered a major coastal aid it merited the subsequent installation of a powerful dioptric light and a diaphone fog alarm. The octagonal tower of hand-sawn timbers, shingled on the outside, was originally 22.6 meters (74ft) in height and was extended in 1903 to 24.4 meters (80ft). This lighthouse, substantially in its original state, is among the oldest in the Gulf of St. Lawrence region.
The lantern at Miscou Island houses a functioning third- order Fresnel lens, the only Fresnel lens still operating in an authentic lighthouse in New Brunswick. After an environmental cleanup in 2008, the province undertook a large scale project to make this a major tourist destination in the region. A paved parking area (large enough for tour buses), a deck around the lighthouse and washroom facilities in addition to a large grass area are completed.

Agen, janvier 2023 : Fin de collecte des déchets verts : les bouteilles et les packs de Heineken sont verts, pas de problème!
Agglomération d'Agen : une organisation défaillante et des incivilités non traitées à leur origine.
2022:
+3.26% de taxes sur des ordures ménagères.
ET
2023:
Fin de collecte des déchets verts
ET
+7.11% de taxes sur les ordures ménagères.
Soit en 2 ans + 10.37% de taxes sur les ordures ménagères !!!
Sans parler de l'augmentation de 11.77% sur le bâti et de 25% sur le non bâti, évidemment!
Mais où va l'argent du contribuable?
Il faut peut-être que nos élus et ceux de la France entière cessent de nommer aux postes clés leurs colleurs d'affiches électorales, leurs amis et les amis de leurs amis; certains n'étant motivés que par la possibilité d'un conflit d'intérêt, par la notoriété, les banquets et les voyages...

I've added this image to my photo stream over a month ago and was forced to remove it a few days after. This image was taken during a photo shoot I was hired to do. The photo shoot was for the Microsoft Corporation. Not all the pictures from the photo shoot were licensed. They licensed 5 images only.
Hopefully, in the "near future", you will be seeing some of my work in some of Microsoft's "FINEST" products. Enough said :)
With the ongoing 2 month closure of Torquay's Fleet Street for road works, buses, especially those on route 12, are being frequently heavilly delayed with bunching happening as a norm.

Embalse de Irabia, Navarra, España.
El embalse de Irabia se ubica en el centro de la Selva de Irati, uno de los hayedos-abetales más grandes de Europa que en otoño se viste de colores espectaculares, pasando por toda la gama de ocres, amarillos y rojos que la naturaleza nos ofrece. Una sinfonía de color impresionante... quizá esa sea la palabra COLOR. También silencio, aire puro, misterio... Y un buen lugar donde parar un rato es el pantano de Irabia, alrededor del cual discurren al menos un par de los senderos-ruta que se pueden recorrer en este paraje.
Es un buen lugar porque aquí, saliendo del bosque y sus misterios, obtenemos una mayor perspectiva de este paraíso, que además se refleja en las aguas quietas.
La presa es de gravedad y tiene una altura de 44 m, con una longitud de coronación de 158 m. Dispone de aliviadero por compuertas con una capacidad de descarga de 387 m3/seg. Ocupa una superficie de 128 Ha y puede retener un volumen de 13,5 Hm3. Ello supone una capacidad de regulación en el río Irati de 81,5 Hm3, que representa el 23% de la aportación anual en el aforo de Arive. Sus obras finalizaron en 1947 y su destino fue la producción de energía eléctrica.
The Irabia Swamp is located in the center of the Irati Forest, one of the largest beech-fir trees in Europe that in autumn dresses in spectacular colors, passing through the entire range of ocher, yellow and red that nature offers us . A symphony of impressive color ... maybe that's the word COLOR. Also silence, pure air, mystery ... And a good place to stop for a while is the Irabia reservoir, around which at least a couple of the pathways that can be traversed in this place run.
It is a good place because here, leaving the forest and its mysteries, we get a greater perspective of this paradise, which is also reflected in the still waters.
The dam is gravity-fed and has a height of 44 m, with a crest length of 158 m. It has a gate spillway with a discharge capacity of 387 m3 / sec. It occupies an area of 128 Ha and can retain a volume of 13.5 Hm3. This implies a regulation capacity in the Irati river of 81.5 Hm3, which represents 23% of the annual contribution to the Arive capacity. Its works ended in 1947 and its destination was the production of electrical energy.

Located in northern Finland, the Korouoma Nature Reserve is an impressive area known for its deep gorge, steep rock walls and beautiful waterfalls. The reserve is a popular destination for nature lovers, hikers, climbers and adventurers. One of the most striking features of Korouoma is the 30 kilometer long gorge, which in some places is more than 100 meters deep. This gorge was created by glacial erosion during the last ice age and is surrounded by imposing rock walls of limestone and quartzite. In winter, the waterfalls along the gorge freeze, creating a spectacular ice climbing paradise for experienced climbers. In addition to the breathtaking gorge, the Korouoma Nature Reserve also offers several hiking trails and viewpoints where visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. There are several marked trails that vary in length and difficulty, allowing both novice and experienced hikers to find something to suit their level. The reserve is also home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, including rare plants, birds and mammals. It is an excellent place for bird watchers, with chances to see birds of prey, owls and other bird species. It is a true treasure for nature lovers and a must-visit destination for anyone who wants to experience the breathtaking beauty of the Finnish wilderness.
A hike to Korouoma in the snow is an enchanting experience that takes you deep into the winter wilderness of Lapland. During the winter months, Korouoma transforms into a fairytale landscape covered in a thick layer of snow, making it an idyllic destination for adventurous hikers and nature lovers. One of the highlights of the walk to Korouoma is the Koronjää. A beautiful circular walk of about 12 km along an impressive ice wall that is created by the freezing of water that seeps from the rock walls. This ice wall can reach enormous dimensions and is a spectacular sight, especially in winter. As you walk through the snow-covered paths of Korouoma, you will be surrounded by serene silence and breathtaking views of snow-capped trees, frozen waterfalls and glittering ice formations. The white splendor of nature creates a magical atmosphere that enchants your senses and lets you experience the beauty of winter in a unique way. It is important to wear warm clothes and suitable footwear as temperatures in Lapland can be very cold during winter.
Despite the challenges of winter conditions, a hike to Korouoma in the snow offers an unforgettable experience full of adventure, wonder and the chance to enjoy the untouched beauty of the Finnish wilderness in its most magical season.
Het Korouoma Nature Reserve, gelegen in het noorden van Finland, is een indrukwekkend gebied dat bekend staat om zijn diepe kloof, steile rotswanden en prachtige watervallen. Het reservaat is een populaire bestemming voor natuurliefhebbers, wandelaars, klimmers en avonturiers. Eén van de meest opvallende kenmerken van Korouoma is de 30 kilometer lange kloof, die op sommige plaatsen meer dan 100 meter diep is. Deze kloof is ontstaan door glaciale erosie tijdens de laatste ijstijd en wordt omgeven door imposante rotswanden van kalksteen en kwartsiet. In de winter bevriezen de watervallen langs de kloof, waardoor ze een spectaculair ijsklimmenparadijs vormen voor ervaren klimmers. Naast de adembenemende kloof biedt het Korouoma Nature Reserve ook diverse wandelroutes en uitkijkpunten waar bezoekers kunnen genieten van panoramische uitzichten op de omliggende wildernis. Wij kiezen voor een wandeling naar de Koronjää. Een mooie rondwandeling van zo'n 12 km langs een indrukwekkende ijsmuur die ontstaat door het bevriezen van water dat van de rotswanden sijpelt. Deze ijsmuur kan enorme afmetingen bereiken en is een spectaculaire bezienswaardigheid, vooral in de winter. Terwijl je door de besneeuwde paden van Korouoma loopt, word je omringd door een serene stilte en een adembenemend uitzicht op met sneeuw bedekte bomen, bevroren watervallen en glinsterende ijsformaties. Het reservaat herbergt ook een rijke verscheidenheid aan flora en fauna, waaronder zeldzame planten, vogels en zoogdieren. Het is belangrijk om warme kleding en geschikt schoeisel te dragen, omdat de temperaturen in Lapland tijdens de winter erg koud kunnen zijn. Ondanks de uitdagingen van de winterse omstandigheden, biedt een wandeling naar Korouoma in de sneeuw een onvergetelijke ervaring vol avontuur, verwondering en de kans om te genieten van de ongerepte schoonheid van de Finse wildernis in haar meest magische seizoen.

Out at Collins Marsh earlier this morning I fell in love with the Railroad Ties...Old, worn, cracked, tarnished .... but supporting the rails for unknown journeys...Perfect image for my day...I think that is why we have this attraction to Railroad Lines...you look beyond where you are in that moment and think what journey's lie ahead....what will be in store when you arrive....

The Technical Cobra railtour has reversed into the 'cobra' sidings at Wakefield Kirkgate. Operated by the Branch Line Society, the tour would then move onto Wakefield Europort.
(I've always known the Cobra sidings as those on the left on the lower level, now out of use).
One of the attractions of Tegel Airport was the old suburban railcar that accommodated a Currywurst stand. Now that the airport is closed I get even more nostalgic - for the airport and the old trains that I enjoyed so much until the 1990s...

A few days ago, I took photos of a hover fly on a rose but my husband said that I already have a photo that looks almost the same.. He was referring to
this pic and I told him that they don't look the same. But I realized that he had a good point, so one of my goals for this summer is to take more photos of insects in flight. It's not going to be easy but it should be fun :-)
After crossing Ilkley Moor we dropped down the hill to a legendary drinking den that seemed to have gone all foody so we carried on down to the river and the canal in search of a proper drinking establishment...
A composite image from 2 different photos. The building was shot using Canon EF-S 10-22mm at 10mm while the moon was shot using Canon EF 70-300mm at 300mm. The moon was also enlarged by about 2x from the original.

After working all day, the couch is my final destination! Also my reintroduction to the #tummytuesday club! Photo by the talented @rjbear70
Spent the most of this weekend runnning around the graveyard shootin' photos for AP art. But I finally found time to get over to George Roger's Park and get some good shots of the fishy-pool where I go swimming in the summertime. Took the film camera with me this time and tried my hand at black-and-white (which I will post once I've got it developed). Eeek. Film!
