Back to landscapes and some macro work this morning. Meant a 2:30am alarm call and a tredge down the beach with Wiffsmiff23. Followed by some macro work on the way back for breakfast.

I attended a local outdoor Symphony last night down by Concord Warf- and to my surprise they let off some fireworks at the end. This was the last photo of the night and the only decent one I took all night.

This is the scene of a mayor explosion that happened yesterday in Gibraltar! An oil storage tank exploded in the port of Gibraltar yesterday afternoon, just metres from where a cruise ship was berthed.
The explosion blew the lid off the tank and sent a fireball high into the air. The buckled steel lid lay on the quayside on the Western Arm metres away from the tank, indicating the force of the explosion.The site is an ex-Mod sullage plant (Oil treament plant) but now belongs to a local company. It is situated on what we call the North Mole.

Hier, vers 7h45mn, une forte explosion de gaz a réveillé les habitants de la cité AADL de Soumaâ, sise à 10 km à l’est de Blida. Les dégâts sont considérables. L’explosion survenue à l’intérieur d’un logement, situé au 6e étage du bâtiment, a soufflé plusieurs autres appartements d’en face et des paliers supérieurs.
Même l’ascenseur qui se trouvait au dernier étage au moment de la déflagration a lâché et chuté vertigineusement, provoquant de sérieux dommages aux murs du bâtiment. On relèvera que dans cette explosion une seule personne a été blessée et évacuée vers l’hôpital. Il s’agit d’un jeune policier qui avait passé la nuit à la cité. Selon un voisin qui l’avait secouru, la victime avait allumé son briquet avant de se voir brusquement projeté contre le mur par le souffle de l’explosion, conséquence de l’importante accumulation du gaz. A notre arrivée sur les lieux, la police scientifique était encore sur place, scrutant le moindre indice susceptible de déterminer les origines de l’explosion. Les techniciens de Sonelgaz étaient également à pied d’œuvre. Selon ces derniers, il s’agit vraisemblablement d’une fuite de gaz émanant de l’installation intérieure car, argumentent-ils, les éventrations des cloisons de l’appartement sont visiblement dirigées vers l’extérieur. «Ce n’est qu’un premier constat», affirment-ils. Cependant et avant les résultats définitifs de l’enquête, tout le monde reste circonspect et se refuse de donner des conclusions concernant cette explosion. Même si les résultats définitifs prouveront que celle-ci est due à une fuite de gaz, il importe de rappeler que cette substance demeure une énergie procurant un confort certain sauf qu’elle reste un produit dangereux dont les normes de sécurité devront être strictement respectées.

Police have arrested a man following an explosion at a house in Blackley.
Shortly after 12.25pm on Monday 16 January 2017, officers were called to reports of an explosion at an address on Cecil Road.
Serious damage was caused to two properties, with some minor damage to surrounding premises.
Residents of surrounding homes were evacuated for a short time.
Following the incident, two men remain in hospital. One is in a critical condition and the other is in a stable condition.
One of whom, a 33-year-old man, has been arrested on suspicion of causing an explosion to endanger life. He is the man in a stable condition.
The scene is still being investigated and enquiries are ongoing.
Detective Inspector Dave Sinclair, of GMP’s City of Manchester Team, said: “This was a devastating incident which has left two people in hospital with serious injuries and destroyed part of a terraced street.
“Good progress is being made as we continue to investigate the cause of the explosion, but we still need to hear from anyone who believes they have any information about what happened.
“The house is now being treated as a crime scene. Given the problematic working conditions, it may be several days before we will be able to return the street to normality.
“I would like to thank the community for their continued co-operation as police, the local authority and other emergency services remain at the scene to carry on with the investigation.
“My officers will be on hand in the local area and will be updating members of the public with information as we progress this investigation.
“If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to approach and speak to my officers at the scene or contact the local neighbourhood officers.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 0161 856 3101 and quote the reference number 880 of 16/01/17, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

On the second day we visited the Power station itself. This is a scaled model showing the aftermath of the explosion on Reactor 4. The lid of the reactor was blown 30 meters in the air and has settled ontop of the structure at 90 degrees exposing all the fuel rods.
Another shot of waves hitting the Michigan City Pierhead Light's breakwater and exploding, seen from a different angle. Water was being thrown thirty feet in the air.
This was the kind of day on the Great Lakes that makes you think of Gordon Lightfoot songs.
