That's great it starts
with an earthquake
Birds and snakes
and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes

In Grand Portage State Park, High Falls is the highest waterfall in Minnesota and it separates Canada from the US. It was misting so much that we were soaked before we even saw the falls!

The New Merwede River: protection through depolderization
The Netherlands has long been associated with polders, ever since its engineers became renowned for developing techniques to drain wetlands or reclaim land from the sea and make them usable for agriculture and other development. This is well illustrated by the English saying: “God created the world but the Dutch created Holland.” In an unusual project, one of the famous Dutch polders is being handed back to nature. To reduce the risk of flooding on the New Merwede River, water has to flow faster when its level rises. A large-scale ‘depoldering’ project was embarked upon.
Taking place between 2011 and 2015, this project involves creating a floodplain at the ‘Noordwaard’. This is an area covering approximately 4,450 hectares — approximately 6,000 soccer pitches — in the province of Noord Brabant. Part of the Noordwaard will be ‘depolderized’, restructured and transformed into an intertidal area, through which large amounts of river water will flow to the sea.
Work includes the construction of creeks, dikes, mounds, bridges, pumping stations, roads and channels and a range of soil remediation operations. Sustainable solutions are characteristic features of the approach. Cooperation with local residents, businesses and stakeholders has been crucial to the success of this project.
The number of areas with dike protection in the Noordwaard was reduced and a new ‘Green Wave reducing dike’ was built. To spare the local residents from having to look out onto a higher newly-built dike, a 100 meter-wide willow forest was planted on the river side of the dike. Every other year the willows will be pruned back so that the stumps produce shoots which will catch a large part of the wash. By regularly replacing the willows they are expected to be able to absorb up to 80 per cent of the waves’ energy. Farmers and local residents were given the option of staying in the ‘depolderized’ Noordwaard by relocating their houses and some buildings to the tops of mounds to protect them.
The new landscape will be a resting place for birds throughout the year and the combination of the river discharge and the tides will create opportunities for major nature developments that are unique in Western Europe.
After a marvellous Spring walk along the ridge of High Rigg, you are blessed with this wonderful view across to the North Lakeland Fells.
From the left you have the distant Bassenthwaite Lake then the mass of Skiddaw, Lonscale Fell, the wonderfully named Glenderaterra Beck Valley, then the mass of Blencathra with its many ridges running down to the village of Threlkeld.
If you zoom in you can even see the ancient Castlerigg Stone Circle in the green field below the left flank of Skiddaw, (or just left of the White Farmhouse Buildings). The small tarn in the centre of the frame is Tewet Tarn.
This was a walk I had not done before and thanks go to Terry Roberts, who I accompanied together with our American Flickr pals Brad and Barb Eide who were over for a taste of the UK in Spring. A great afternoon after my dawn start up in Langdale.
This was hand held 12 shot pano shot in portrait mode.
High Wycombe
St Lawrence's Church and Mausoleum (which were also constructed by Sir Francis Dashwood around the same time the caves were excavated). West Wycombe Park, ancestral seat of the Dashwood family and also a National Trust property, lies directly across the valley. The caves' striking entrance, designed as the façade of a mock gothic church and built from flint and chalk mortar, which was erected in around 1752, can be viewed directly from West Wycombe House.
We're still in National Tree week (me neither), so here are some more trees and some rocks, on the way up to Harrop Tarn above Thirlmere.

I'm high as f**k and these a****les won't shut up
Got me laughing, I ain't losin' no sleep"

Snowy egret,

‘’ ...their motions are generally quick and elegant, and while pursuing small fishes, they run swiftly through the shallows, throwing up their wings.”

remember the line "from little acorns grow mighty oaks"? it is really a wonder that these huge beautiful works of nature were once tiny seeds. this is a tree near the white house during my last visit to DC. light coming from lamps on the street.
yesterday was really tight and was not able to post nor visit but will catch up later tonight. have a great day/night my friends! i am off to work!
Looking east from the Sierras, near Bishop to the mountains of Nevada, and the high, sagebrush desert.

Song
A tribute to structural engineering. Tensile forces held in check by minimal materials, much to admire.
Galvanised steel bar transformed to functions of a physical equation that graphs an octet of perfect catenary arcs across the valley. Beauty from purpose, with enough strength for the task, and no more.

The original clock dates to around 1690. The green dragon's tongue gives the status of the tide and would be visible to mariners at the harbour. The letters spell 'LYNN HIGH TIDE'. 'L' is the actual high tide mark. The blue disc rotates to reveal the moon's phase.
The original clock was damaged when the minster spire collapsed during a 1741 storm. This one is said to be a faithful 20C copy but is in sore need of restoration.
