Lever du soleil sur les rives de la Gironde à Pauillac.
Le phare de Patiras ou Phare Saint-Paul est un phare, aujourd'hui éteint, situé au nord-ouest de l'île de Patiras, sur la commune de Saint-Androny au milieu de l'estuaire de la Gironde, en face de Pauillac, dans le sud-ouest de la France.
The Colorado River flows through the layered sandstones of the Cutler Group, deposited 250-285 million years ago by rivers and shallow oceans. In the distance the summits of the La Sal Mountains rise above the Wingate Sandstone cliffs near Moab, clad in a couple of feet of fresh snow from a winter storm that had just exited that morning.
The Colorado River is celebrated for the many canyons it has cut in the Colorado Plateau, from Horsethief Canyon in Colorado to the mighty Grand Canyon of Arizona. The river is also the water supply for over 40 million people and supports the production of 90% of the winter vegetable production in the U.S. However climate change has altered its reliability as a water and hydroelectric power source. In the past 2 decades the flow has decreased 20%, reflecting the megadrought that has hit the southwest on top of the ongoing warming. The combination of a burgeoning population and declining water supply will lead to some difficult decisions very soon- a formal water crisis has been declared by the federal government, and states are planning their next moves as their share of water will be cut.
This vantage point is from “Thelma and Louse Point,” an informal name given to a section of the Potash Road where the stars of the film drove their car off a cliff and into the river. Two Ford Thunderbirds were actually flung off the cliff and into the river, as the filmmakers didn’t have the capacity to simulate it effectively in 1991. I’m not sure if they retrieved the cars or they remained in the river. Dummies stood in for Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon (non-living ones, of course).

Shoveling sand to build a burrow and an adjacent sandcastle, this horn-eyed ghost crab scoops and carries with the large left claw then flings the sand with the smaller right claw. Interestingly, individuals are right or left clawed (laterality). Males heap the excavated sand high in the intertidal zone of a broad sandy beach, thought to be a territorial signal to other crabs or to attract a potential mate. Horn-eyed ghost crabs (Ocypode ceratophthalmus) range across the Indo-Pacific and Polynesia.
