The second level of what is collectively known as Brasstown Falls. The water level seemed a little low today, compared to the last time I was there. It worked out decently for the cascades, but I think the veil suffered for it. Oh well, I still nearly killed myself at the top of the third level (the sluice), getting in position to shoot the second level.
Apologies for post-processing woes - I can't tell what's what on this laptop screen.
Just got a new (entry level) Canon DSLR camera, and this is the first photo! I'm thinking there's gonna be a lot to learn to figure out how to make use of this thing, but it should be cool.
I can't wait to play with some long exposures and also try out the 1080P video capability.

An autumn Chiffchaff at Shapwick Moor Hawk & Owl Trust reserve - Somerset Levels. Quite a number of this leaf-warbler species winter in the mild damp climate on the levels.
We have had several days of welcome rain and the level of water in Mare aux Vacoas reservoir has gone up a little.
Our Marine Park at Balaclava is in a sorry state and recently a report on the Marine Park at Blue Bay found that much of the coral in the reserve is damaged or dead and fish stocks are sadly depleted. Today's newspaper carries a report that the Marine Park at Blue Bay has been badly affected by mud running into the lagoon from the construction works to extend the runway at the airport. A part of the bay is now under a thick layer of mud.
A telephone line has been set up to take complaints about illegal fishing ( eg spearguns, fishing at night with torches, epervier nets). But there has been little publicity for this, so far no public service announcements to explain which fishing practices are illegal and why, therefore business carries on as usual ie people fishing illegally can be seen at most beaches.
Fishing for octopus .. which normally means trampling coral and breaking it to get hold of the octopus, if necessary with a metal bar, does not seem to count as illegal fishing and there is no closed season for octopus to take into account when the females are hatching their eggs.( I couldn't find any information on line as to when this happens in Mauritian seas either. Would seem to be a good topic for research).
Once again the seine fishing season is open. Using these weighted nets damages coral in the lagoon even when they are used in the permitted manner but I think they are often used in ways that contravene the regulations arnd are likely to be even more destructive.
The ban on fishing sea cucumbers has been extended until 2016.
And horses are no longer to be allowed on public beaches.
All's well in paradise?
Lowers the overall volume levels for noisy sound sources, e.g. when you plug in your earphones on an aircraft to watch a movie, then when the crew make a PA announcement you don't bust your eardrums
Canterbury Plains, NZ South Island. Shot with the crummy 18-55 kit lens.
Update early 2012 - This photo has been sold for an advertising campaign in NZ to warn truckies of the very real and fatal dangers of running the lights at level crossings!
A trio of tripods with built-in bullseye levels used for leveling the tripod by adjusting the length of its legs.
If the tripod is not level, the angle of the camera changes when aimed in a different direction.
A changing angle is a nuisance in many circumstances and a major problem when shooting panoramas.
(If the tripod is level the individual panorama shots maintain a constant angle and form a strait line.
If the tripod is not level the individual panorama shots are at different angles and form an arch or valley.
This means each shot must be rotated for stitching and the entire panorama must be severely cropped to remove the overall curve.)
Depending on the tripod's head; the camera may require a level of its own.
If your tripod does not have a built-in level, a fence post level (which can be purchased at a building supply store for about $6) can be attached the the tripods center post.
(The post hole level shown in first comment below is red)
(There is also a hot-shoe level on top of the camera)

From Wikipedia: The Lethbridge Viaduct, commonly known as the High Level Bridge, was constructed between 1907–1909 at Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada at a cost of $1,334,525. This massive steel trestle over the Oldman River was designed by the Canadian Pacific Railway's bridge department in Montreal. The field work was directed by CPR's Assistant Chief Engineer J. E. Schwitzer. The steel work was manufactured by the Canadian Bridge Company of Walkerville, Ontario. A 100 man gang worked on the erection of the steel. Although there were some initial problems with settlement, the bridge has proved to be an enduring engineering work and is still in use today.
This bridge is the largest railway structure in Canada. It was built as part of a major diversion of the Crowsnest Pass route between Lethbridge and Fort Macleod. The river crossing was previously over a wooden trestle measuring 894 m (2,933 ft) long and 20 m (66 ft) high; an impressive structure in its own right.
The 5th Southern Classic was held at Levels International Raceway on the first weekend in December. Sponsored by Mike Pero, the event is run by the CAMS club and held near Timaru in the South Island of New Zealand. Over three days 180 riders on over 300 motorcycles tested themselves and their bikes. The large entry has expanded to include bikes up to 1995 so delivers large fields. The photos focus on the bikes present that were over 40 years old. Enjoy the photos.
Last time we were by the river in Manchester, we could go down those stairs and stand on the rocks. Right now the water levels are too high.

A juvenile Western Fence Lizard basking in the Arboretum sunshine. He was only about an inch tall (at the top of his head), so I got quite a few stares when I laid down to get the shot.
