Another shot of the rainbow. Only forty seconds had passed since I took the previous photo. In this photo a blue sky can be seen as well as rain clouds. I was surprised at such a swift and marvelous flow of nature. I could not take the third photo of this rainbow.
Walking on the lava flow. Much of which is obsidian.
Newberry National Volcanic Monument was designated on November 5, 1990 to protect the area around the Newberry Volcano in the United States. It was created within the boundaries of the Deschutes National Forest and is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. It includes 50,000 acres (20,000 ha) of lakes, lava flows, and spectacular geologic features in central Oregon. These photos are taken from the summit Paulina Peak 7,985 ft, (2,434 m). Just below us are East Lake and Paulina Lake and The Big Obsidian Flow, created 1,300 years ago, covers 700 acres. It is hard to fathom as you drive through the summit area that you are within a 17 square mile caldera at the summit of a 500 square mile volcano, a volcano that remains very active to this day. Newberry is both seismically and geothermally active. Geologists believe the caldera sits over a shallow magma body only 2 to 5 kilometers deep. Visitors see numerous cinder cones (over 400 throughout the area), miles of basalt flows, as well as rhyolite flows of obsidian.
The new network of small ponds features many, many flow control structures.

With the arrival of fall the nesting season is over and I am allowed to photograph in the South Bay again. This year I received a request to photograph a construction project that is subdividing Salt Pond A12 into series of smaller managed ponds to serve as avian habitat. The ponds will be kept at different salinities.
This project occurs along the banks of Mt. Eden Slough, the “cradle of San Francisco’s salt industry” according to author John Sandoval. This section of former marsh is where the first small salt operations appeared in the 19th Century and here remain the most interesting of old salt works ruins, some so faint they are at the threshold of perception. The land is now going through yet another transformation as part of the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project and will see considerable change over the next few years. It should be fun to watch.
The set captures the construction project well underway as heavy machinery creates distribution ditches and flow control structures. Many photographs in this set are prosaic images documenting construction. But the session also found some interesting surface textures, particularly in the machine worked layers of clay that line the new ditches. The set also contains a few photographs of Mount Eden Creek Marsh, an area restored to tidal flow in 2008.
I am taking these documentary photographs under a Special Use Permit from the California Department of Fish & Wildlife. Kite flying is prohibited over the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve without a Special Use Permit, as is access to this part of the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge.

Couple of things got me thinking tonight. My interest in WW2 came from my grandfather. Dave Screen. He was based at Scapa as the whole fleet was during these times and though his ship escaped the carnage here he was later torpedoed on HMS Liverpool.
I wont go into the details incase relatives of that day see this, needless to say though it was a harrowing experience.
I loved looking at his photo albums as I grew up and every morning id have him tell me a war story :)
I was looking at these shots and felt they were worthless, but now ive decided to try and make this one like one of Pops that I saw in his albums.
So here Dave, this is for you. Youll be pleased to know I can take the bookie regular, I drink like you (though I hate rum) I smoke like a chimney and im always getting in shit for something. :)
We will meet again, but not yet mate...not yet.
:)
My sisters early bday present that I bought her this year.

I discover the joy of dry suits - by the way I am taking the photo, of course I looked much more chic than that in my dry suit.
* Dry Underwater, Wet above*
My journey continues and I get drenched, rivers running through my feet, rain driving into my eyeballs, water dripping from my nose. A very small car pulls alongside me and winds down the window, dripping I peer into a very dry little cosy world.
do you want a lift?? the guy asks, I am somewhat taken aback as, number one my bike is bigger than his car and number two the water I have absorbed would probably fill his car and drown us both. I politely decline saying that it was not possible for me to get any wetter so I was OK.
What was odd was the next few days I was diving, discovering the joys of a dry suit which means you are under 30metres of water wearing your cosy clothes that are completely dry in your dry suit. The day I finish I cycle back to Kirkwall and once again get drenched so it seemed that I was dry underwater and soaked above for my first few days on Orkney.
Hence, It also allows for the cost-effective market testing, obtaining feedback from potential customers and investors on a tangible product, without the danger of substantial upfront expenditures for prototyping.
