Here is another shot from my first attempt at stars/moonlight out with the new camera. Looking at the LCD screen of my camera and "chimping", as Jim Patterson puts it, I was sloshing around the mud in the Yolo Bypass trying to find something to use in my foreground. Locating an interesting foreground is the biggest challenge in this wetlands area, and it is even more difficult at 11:08pm at night! Ducks were flapping madly, clouds were heading a completely different direction than I had seen on the satellite images earlier in the day, and I was really having a great time testing out the higher ISOs on the new camera.
The yellow haze of the clouds on the left is coming from a combo of moonlight and highway I-80 traffic/West Sacramento urban lights. The fog was thicker than it looks in this photo. I used a flashlight covered with a lens cloth to light-paint the grasses in the foreground. It didn't do much, but you can see a few more blades of marsh grass than if I hadn't.
Technical note: I haven't tried the in-camera high-ISO noise reduction yet. If you have any opinions on that, please let me know!

A major new flood defences is currently being built along a section of the Liffey and it has recently been extended to combat the impact of rising sea levels downriver. The section in my photographs is known as the South Campshires which includes Sir John Rogerson's Quay.
The Campshires are the stretches of land between the quay and road on both the north and south quays in Dublin. They are so named because various British military regiments, such as the Gloucestershires or Leicestershires, would camp there before setting off or returning from overseas, making 'campshire' a portmanteau of 'camp' and '-shire'.
Before the Dublin Port facilities moved down river, this was the area of the Dublin quays where ships were loaded and unloaded. As a result, the area had a number of storage warehouses and travelling cranes. The Dublin Docklands Development Authority renewed and renovated some of the area in the early 2000s, adding walkways and cycleways on both sides of the river Liffey, including parts of the Sutton to Sandycove project. A number of buildings on the campshires were also subject to renovation early in the 21st century.

I had to wait a bit till the bridge emptied out- I was hoping and praying that nobody would come our way as there was barely enough room for one person to walk across, but they did. I had to hold on tight to the railing to let them pass. The chickened out like somewhat mid way and we had the bridge to ourselves all over again. We are headed to Lahic, a remote village deep in the mountains near Sheki. Of course, it is rather touristy now, but they have tried to retain it's historic appearance and have even maintained the road in an unsealed condition so that one can get a real idea about the remoteness of the territory. And then are other villages even more remote and which are accessible only by bridges like this running across the gorge. Of course we did not go right upto the village as it was quite a rough trek up to it. (Sheki, Azerbaijan, Sept. 2017)
£42 million a year plan over the next decade.
More than 10,000 families are to benefit from a ten year strategy to protect homes in many of Scotland’s most flood-prone communities.
The announcement came as the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, fulfilled her pledge to return to Newton Stewart following an earlier visit in the aftermath of flooding at Hogmanay.

Redi-Rock modular wall system is an ingenious, space saving solution for the retention of earth. This big block system has the appearance of natural stone and is versatile enough to achieve height with comperomising strength.
It is seen here at McPhillips (Contractors) site for the Southwater Development in Telford. The Southwater development will transform an area of Telford town centre, running from the shopping centre to The International Centre, with the aim of creating a major regional leisure and business attraction. It will include office space, a new learning and media centre, two new hotels, bars, restaurants, cafes and shops, a leisure hub with space for a leisure pool and multi screen cinema. There will also be hundreds of homes including apartments and town houses, a community medical facility and a new Meeting Point House.
The works will prepare the area for the £250m redevelopment investment and will focus on earthworks and groundworks for the future development and construction of new Council offices, creation of new public realm space and installation of new utility services infrastructure to serve the future needs of the area

More than 10,000 families are to benefit from a ten year strategy to protect homes in many of Scotland’s most flood-prone communities.
The announcement came as the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, fulfilled her pledge to return to Newton Stewart following an earlier visit in the aftermath of flooding at Hogmanay.
De Hondsbossche Zeewering is zojuist weer versterkt met een nieuw talud. Het is het enige stuk dijk in de Hollandse duinenlijn van bijna 150 km . Een dijk nabij Petten, op een plaats waar een stormvloed in de Middeleeuwen door de oorspronkelijke duinen is doorgebroken. De Hondsbossche Zeewering heeft een lange geschiedenis van stormschade en dijkherstel.
Het huidige dijklichaam ligt daar sinds 1880 en is sindsdien meerdere malen verhoogd en verbreed. Door de voortdurende erosie van de aangrenzende duinen is de zeewering steeds meer in zee komen te liggen. Door kustverdedigingsmaatregelen zoals ook zandsuppletie wil men de zeewering versterken en de veiligheid waarborgen.
