Kinderdijk Windmills is a village about 9 miles from Rotterdam, a historic UNESCO World Heritage Site with its network of windmills and ingenious flood-management devices. The eight mills that survive in this area (there were more than 150) were all built in 1738. They are bonnet mills (only the top section revolves from the wind), built from brick and with large sails that come within one foot of the ground and thus are nicknamed “ground sailors.” They are used to pump water from the polders using internal or external scoops into reservoirs on two levels.

Shot at the Pensacola Dam. The first hydroelectric facility constructed in Oklahoma. GRDA built the dam between December 30, 1938, and March 21, 1940, when depression-era labor was abundant. It is located between the communities of Langley and Disney, spanning a mile across the Grand River Valley and holding back the 43,500 acres of water that form Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees. © 2022 Rob Heber- All Rights Reserved
This photo is one of a series taken on our excursion to Pulau Ketam, or Crab Island, located off the west coast of Malaysia leaving from Port Klang. Most islanders live in homes built on stilts with their boats docked near their place of residence. Access used to be via boardwalks within the village but now most the boardwalks have been replaced with concrete walkways and the vehicle of choice seems to be small motor scooters. I visited there back in the 1960's. Then, it was a different place, less commercialized and few outsiders.

We are still at Exploration Green for this capture and it will likely be the last one from that area. It’s a challenge trying to walk up to animals out in the open and attempt a capture and I was fortunate that this youngster stuck around. This is a young Great Blue Heron in the process of making the transition to those darker adult colors. He was at the water’s edge of one of the holding ponds very alert to my presence. It stayed put and didn’t fly away.

An especially rocky and snow dusted passage along the dike. Little margin for error. But if one needs to fall over one should try to fall over to the left on this one, if they can.
