The single lane road leads to farm buildings on the other side of the river. It is often fully submerged in at least a foot of water, no issue for a tractor.

Each white dot is a gannet with 2m wing span. Seen from the top of Tantallon Castle, Scotland. You can also see a lighthouse and above it a tiny old church where once a hermit lived. This is one of the largest gannet colonies in the world.
Thanks for passing by. We are still travelling with intermittent web access.
Rooster's lake (Petelinje jezero), is an intermittent lake located nearby Pivka (a small town in Slovenia), part of a much bigger system of intermittent lakes, to which belongs also the well known Cerknica lake.
Taken from the Iron Age Ramparts, part of Ham Hill Country Park, looking down into Witcombe Valley, on a day of intermittent patches of sunlight. This year there have been an exceptionally large number of nodding thistle plants growing on the Ramparts. They have since produced seed heads and are visited by flocks of goldfinches.
A shot taken in between showers of rain, which have been rather intermittent, so it was great to see the rain again.
Atlantic coast near Liencres, Cantabria, Spain, actually it was a non-sunset, just a glow above the horizon, gusty winds and intermittent rain, muddy trail, combined with dangerous cliffs, added to the "fun", despite the conditions, there were about 6 or 7 other masochistic photographers.
Praia Vermelha (Red Beach), Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil.
We had gray skies and intermittent rain throughout our stay from the evening of June 7 until departure on June 12. Locally many people refer to Ubatuba as Uba-chuva. That's because the Portuguese word for rain is chuva. We won't complain because the rainfall, mild climate, and topography of Brazil's Atlantic coastal forest contribute to the natural beauty and biodiversity one finds here. Also, the diffused light from cloudy skies makes for better photos.
The Avoca Lake, formerly known as Avoca Lagoon and as Bulbararing Lagoon, is an intermittently closed intermediate saline coastal lagoon that is located on the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. Avoca Lake is located between the beachside settlements of North Avoca and Avoca Beach, and adjacent to the east coast, about 85 kilometres north of Sydney. The Avoca Lake is fed by stormwater runoff into Salwater Creek that gathers on the slopes within Kincumber Mountain Reserve to the northwest above Pickets Valley. The lake has a surface area of approximately 70 hectares and a catchment area of 10.8 square kilometres. Its outflow is into Bulbararing Bay in the Tasman Sea of the South Pacific Ocean. The outflow is generally closed, and water levels inside the lake are not usually influenced by ocean tides. Bareena Island lies entirely within Avoca Lake. 20407
Recently Sri.M.C.Shekhar, Photo Artist, Araku Valley famous, organised a Photographic workshop in and around Srinagar, J&K, India for three days from 6th Nov. leading the team of 29 with interest and care.
Except some intermittent rain the programme went well and all impressed with the beauty of Kashmir her Dal lake with its shikaras, people,chinar trees, handicrafts, snow fall and what not.
Kudos to Shri Shekhar for his rigorous and challenging work.
We sure had some weird weather in Winneshiek County, Iowa, today. The temperature was stuck at 35 F for most of the day with intermittent drizzle and rain showers. However, the temperature quickly climbed to 45 F during the evening and heavy thunderstorms blew through along with strong winds and hail. Winter is still fighting with spring for control of the skies. This little chipping sparrow just arrived at Lake Meyer Park last night and had a raucous welcome home reception.
Yesterday's outing was incredible. We had a mix of rain and snow flurries early on. Excellent soft light and overcast with the intermittent sun. I scaled down this embankment where this aggressive male was hunting. I sat there and at one point he dove near this pile of blackberry bush and tried grabbing prey. This unfolded less than 10 ft away from me. I watched him attempt to yank whatever prey he was after, but he came up empty handed. He tried hunting multiple times at various spots. I was about ten feet away from him in this shot. He ignored me like I wasn't there. I got a few eye contact shots.
Laguna de Uña, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La laguna de Uña es una laguna situada en el municipio de Uña, en la provincia de Cuenca, comunidad autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha, España.
Está formada por el cierre de un dique fluvial del Arroyo del Rincón,1 afluente del río Júcar, formando un espacio lagunar. El Arroyo del Rincón llega a la Laguna de Uña tras pasar, primeramente, por la piscifactoría de trucha común de Uña2 y después, por la Escuela Regional de Pesca Fluvial3 de la misma localidad.
En la actualidad, la Laguna de Uña forma parte del parque natural Serranía de Cuenca, creado mediante la Ley de la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.
El dique natural ha sido recrecido artificialmente con el fin de aumentar la capacidad de embalsamiento de la laguna y utilizarse como un depósito de aguas intermedio, que también recibe una parte de su caudal gracias a un canal artificial que abastece de agua desde el cercano embalse de La Toba (río Júcar). Este transvase a la laguna se realiza de forma programada e intermitente y no continuamente. De este modo, la superficie inicial de la laguna (antes de la construcción del dique de hormigón) era de unas 2 o 3 hectáreas, mientras que en la actualidad ronda las 15.
El agua de la Laguna de Uña viaja, posteriormente, por otro canal de unos 15 kilómetros de longitud que recorre los cortados del Júcar hasta un depósito de agua situado junto a la localidad de Villalba de la Sierra, para abastecer las necesidades hídricas de la central hidroeléctrica situada en el paraje conocido como El Salto, en dicho municipio.
The Uña lagoon is a lagoon located in the municipality of Uña, in the province of Cuenca, autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain.
It is formed by the closure of a river dam of the Arroyo del Rincón, a tributary of the Júcar River, forming a lagoon space. The Arroyo del Rincón reaches the Uña Lagoon after passing, first, through the Uña common trout fish farm2 and then, through the Regional River Fishing School3 in the same town.
Currently, Laguna de Uña is part of the Serranía de Cuenca natural park, created by the Law of the Autonomous Community of Castilla-La Mancha 5/2007.
The natural dam has been artificially increased in order to increase the reservoir capacity of the lagoon and be used as an intermediate water reservoir, which also receives part of its flow thanks to an artificial canal that supplies water from the nearby reservoir of La Toba (Júcar River). This transfer to the lagoon is carried out on a scheduled and intermittent basis and not continuously. Thus, the initial surface area of the lagoon (before the construction of the concrete dam) was about 2 or 3 hectares, while currently it is around 15.
The water from the Laguna de Uña subsequently travels through another channel of about 15 kilometers in length that runs through the Júcar cliffs to a water tank located next to the town of Villalba de la Sierra, to supply the water needs of the plant. hydroelectric plant located in the area known as El Salto, in said municipality.
As the name suggests, this deer is not a native species, having been introduced from China in the nineteenth century. It favours wet, marshy habitat and is a strong swimmer when it needs to be. This male was taken at Strumpshaw Fen, Norfolk.
The internet where we are staying is very slow and intermittent, so please excuse me if I miss any of your images. I have been having trouble viewing my activity feeds.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
The Ruby-eyed tree frog, Leptopelis uluguruensis, is a species of frog in the Arthroleptidae family endemic to Tanzania. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, and intermittent freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Bon dimanche. Depuis 48h des soucis avec SFR : un Internet intermittent qui fonctionne quand il veut bien quelques minutes avant de se couper.
Sorry, I have problems wih Internet. Happy Sunday
My lovely big brother treated me to a great day out at the Gladstone Museum which is the only complete Victorian pottery factory with original workshops, bottle ovens, tile gallery and the Doctor's House. This 'pot bank' is typical of those once common in the North Staffordshire area of England from the time of the industrial revolution in the 18th century to the mid 20th century.
A Bottle Oven is a type of intermittent kiln for firing pottery. Coal fired using local long-flamed coal. Oil has also been used to fire bottle ovens. The open double doors seen in the shot are the entrance to one of the ovens/kilns, an incredible thing to view and walk around on the inside with numerous fireplaces situated around the bottom of the kiln itself. The saggars can be seen stacked up against the wall of the oven. The saggar is filled and stacked up inside the oven. It helps to protect the ware it contains from contamination by kiln combustion gases and ashes, and the action of the flames.
What is a saggar maker's bottom knocker?
Producing saggars to the correct specifications required was a skilled job and needs a craftsman - the saggar maker. However, making the bases of the saggars is a less skilled job which can be left to a lesser craftsman, namely the saggar maker's bottom knocker, who makes the bottom of the saggar by placing clay in a metal hoop and literally knocking it into shape.
I'm proud of our wonderful industrial history and all the amazingly skilled and talented people involved in making it so. This includes some of my own family, now long gone but remembered with great pride, joy and above all, love :)

After two days and nights of intermittent rain, Mother Nature gave us this unusual beautiful Northwest sky. Then, the next day was a beautiful sunny Spring day. Next, it rained all that night (05-02-2024)!
The trees are beginning to show early signs of colour change during the last days of August, this photograph was taken on a day of intermittent sunshine, as the clouds came in from the West.

"Ce n'était plus, parmi les brouillards où l'œil plonge,
Que le débris difforme et chancelant d'un songe,
Ayant le vague aspect d'un pont intermittent
Qui tombe arche par arche et que le gouffre attend,
Et de toute une flotte en détresse qui sombre ;
Ressemblant à la phrase interrompue et sombre
Que l'ouragan, ce bègue errant sur les sommets,
Recommence toujours sans l'achever jamais."
Victor Hugo, La légende des siècles.

"Aiché" by MERCEDES PEÓN, in 'Sihá' (2007)
A cold day with blue sky and a warm sun. Intermittent blowing snow which did not settle.
This picture was taken out of the side window at f/8 and 65MPH, I was not driving.
Late one July evening, intermittent showers, blue skies and late summer light, I cannot walk past this particular area without documenting it.

Have a nice day!
Sometimes love cannot last forever. It goes from a steady glow to an intermittent splutter and finally goes completely out.
No, I haven't heard the Cuckoos yet this chilly Spring, but today the ditch that runs along the Meuse levee just north of Venlo had lots of eponymous wildflowers. Beautiful they are in the intermittent sunlight.
The Cerknica Lake normally stays on the Cerknica plain for about eight months a year. At its fullest, it covers a surface of about 26 km2 and becomes the largest lake in Slovenia. During the dry season however, the totality of the water disappears, which enables to walk on the bottom of the lake!
My final day in Yellowstone NP found the weather moody and shifting.
I visited in mid-June, and was blessed with several 75°F days, but on this day, as I began my journey north toward Glacier NP, the skies were heavily overcast with intermittent rains. This typically makes a good scene for waterfall images, so I stopped by Artist Point a second time to capture the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River.
One of the downsides of visiting a place like Yellowstone National Park after Memorial Day, is the heavy volume of tourists - school's out, the weather is nicer, etc. Some of the international tourists can be extremely rude, with little regard for anyone else, especially in the confines of this viewpoint. However, on this day, I was relatively uninterrupted, as people caught their selfies and rushed back to their cars/buses to get out of the rain.
What do you think? Do you prefer bright, sunny days, sunrises, sunsets, or cloudy skies?
03-october-2021: this is the lowest/deepest area of the (ghost) Lake, a small zone where the main sinkholes/springs of this intermittent karstic lake are located, close together.
So it is, therefore, the last part of the Lake (except the artificially embanked one to save a part of the abundant fish fauna from increasingly long and frequent dry periods) to have water and the first to fill up when the aquifers are full after a period of consistent rain.
The absence of water starts from July 2021 and at the moment (28-October-2021), without intervals, it is still empty.
In the Karst area, this is one of the clearest visible effects of the change in the meteorological trend of the area, certainly linked to Global Warming.
In fact, it should be pointed out that the Lake Cerknica, although with variations in water level, in the past was present for most of the year (there have been many years in which it has always been present), often reaching the dimensions that make it, temporarily, the largest lake in the State, while the periods of emptying were very rare and short (from a few days to a maximum of 2-3 weeks), resulting, at least until the 1990s, the ONLY EXAMPLE in the World of fish adaptation to survive in the aquifers in complete darkness for even 15-20 days; the fish re-emerged, alive, when the rains returned, together with the water coming out of the sinkholes that become resurgences.
For about twenty years now, and more and more markedly year after year, the water disappears for ever longer times (now we are talking about months, not days or a couple of weeks) and with great frequency, even in the wettest seasons, such as spring and autumn, naturally fish fauna that ends up in the sinkholes today, dies.
Volunteers and foresters lend themselves to saving fish as much as possible, but those who manage to bring to the perennial part of the lake are a very small minority.
The problem of the decrease in the frequency of precipitation meant that the underlying aquifers had less and less water, so, today, for the water to re-emerge on the surface, greater amounts of precipitation are required and for longer times, while 40-50 days of dry weather are sufficient to empty the lake.
A day around the Lickey Bank area catches Brush class 47 unit 47538 powering through Barnt Green with a few happy passengers window-hanging in the pleasant early Spring sunshine.
The train was a British Rail Adex from the south-west of England (including Yeovil Pen Mill) to Matlock in Derbyshire. A nice and often cheap day out for trippers looking for a change of scene, as well as for rail enthusiasts looking to see something different
to what they were typically accustomed to.
Hardly arty, but worth the outing given the changes here since this shot was taken - the line is now electrified, and the station building demolished and replaced by a bus-style shelter.
The locomotive, now somewhat anonymous, was introduced to traffic in March 1965 as D1669, and allocated to the Western Region. Here it was one of the few Brush Type 4's to be given a name, in this case 'Python' (the 'namer' status immediately made it more attractive to spotters), which it carried for a few years until renumbering under the TOPS scheme. Intermittent withdrawal took place in 1990 after a collision with a class 08 shunter at Penzance, and the loco was eventually cut-up in 1997.

As you can see, a pair of robins put an awful lot work into constructing this little masterpiece and producing those eggs. Unfortunately, they chose the wrong place, in the top corner of our garage. I don't know how they managed to do it because the door is only left open intermittently. I suppose we unwittingly closed the door or frightened them off when they most needed to be in full attendance because they left the nest. When we found it the eggs were clearly all expired.
Looking off an overhung promontory toward the expansive wilderness of rock, canyons, and mountains in the Maze District of Canyonlands Moment’s Notice gets a sense of vast with no indication of human development in sight. Note the large chunk of White Rim sandstone that has broken off below the viewpoint, and the Chocolate Drops and Standing Rocks in the distance.
I will be traveling for the next week and a half with intermittent internet access, and though I hope to be able to keep up with your posts there may be a lapse during this time, so please forgive my absence from Flickr.
Here's one from midweek of the week-long US Open of Surfing. It was challenging, to say the least: Challenging for the surfers as they were served up big messy waves from the effects of Hurricane Frank, and challenging light for me as the intermittent sun was at a 10 or 11 o'clock direction here to the left. But I thought you might enjoy a taste of SoCal beach life. This fellow is at the start of an aerial 360. He's gonna make it all the way around.
I've been photographing surfers occasionally for decades, usually right here off the Huntington Beach pier. What's cool is you can kinda walk out on the pier to where the waves are breaking and get some pretty good views, although obviously elevated. Light on the other side of the pier was better on the local surfers. Ya takes what they gives ya.
Intermittent internet access over the next few days. Normal service to resume as soon as possible :)
Hi, I've had no internet for 36 hours, well, its up and down, I've rebooted the router, everything just spins... that's technology... there are workmen drilling the road about 400 yards away... so, I can only guess that may be the problem. Its driving me nuts hahahaha
Forgive me for intermittent communication on your images. I can't workout whom I've faved or commented on because it keeps going down and when I comment it disappears.... I've taken the liberty to load a few images, I might not get chance again today. I am trying my best to communicate, I may as well be up a friggin mountain in Cumbria, I get more signal up there when I'm hiking....
These are my Geraniums... lots of pinks...

Can't believe it's been that long since the last post.
The view from the hill behind the billabong.
Up till a few days ago, with clear blue skies and dry warm days, the landscape seemed reluctant to turn gold for Autumn.
Though now a chilly edge in the evenings has kicked in, thick cloud cover has brought intermittent showers and yet to be seen if we go green again.
A bit of a lost week for me, sorry for the lack of visits, had to rest up.
No edits.
