As you cruise down the west side of the Cape into the Gulf of Carpenteria you bump into, go around or as in our case explore Crab Island which is part of a large shallow moving mass of sand banks that stretch across to Prince of Wales Island. . the island is the biggest nesting location for the rare Flat Back Turtles and is about 3 - 4 km end to end . There is just enough depth in the top half of the tide for our vessel to carefully sneak in between the Island and the main land
The low lying main land vista has little of interest apart from foraging pigs and bird life ..just miles of sand beach strewn with remnants from around the world . Of interest to me was the rusty drums of diesel from Asian and 3 old refrigerant cylinders from who knows where.
But the anchorage was totally calm and well protected from nearly all directions. Its a delight to be surrounded by picturesque sand banks at low tide . Strolling around the island was a terrific for our naturalist and photographic leanings . Most interesting mangrove areas and swirling sandy mud flats on the eastern side . On the north west side was a long wide steeper beach which a large population of crocs seemed to like, they are no doubt feasting on the nesting Flat Back turtles.
7 large crocs together surrounded by the rolling ocean was a sight to behold. 2 females had tracking devices attached . The Australian Zoo ( the late Steve Erwin ) in combination with Queensland Uni attach these devices to crocs up the Wenlock River area for study purposes so not sure if they came from there or not but it was fascinating to actually see the devices . I was able to approach to within 20 meters before all the reptiles dissolved into the ocean . We were happy to get some reasonable pics for memorabilia although I wished I had purchased that long distance telescopic lens I had agonized over before we commenced our journey . It would have been sensational to have been able to capture really close up sharp shots of their comings and goings from a distance. Maybe I should mortgage the boat!!!!
The croc tracks indicated at least one had at times moved a long way up the beach to where the turtles laid their eggs so we pondered whether they themselves were nesting amongst the tusky grass mounds bordering the beach or whether they were just feasting on helpless turtles or the turtle and their eggs!!

(Lots of log collecting going on in the gardens to keep the house warm!)
Had a lovely day at Chatsworth House with Julia yesterday -we both had some holiday to use up before the end of the year so thought we'd head out somewhere nice for the day. Was a bit worried what the roads would be like as we headed into Chesterfield from the M1 - the dual carriage way was pretty much still down to a single lane due to last weeks snow (they've had a lot of snow there!), but in reality the roads to the chatsworth estate were fine and they've obviously made a big effort to keep the place open.
Really nice to go on a week day too - relatively quiet (possibly due to the snow as much as anything), the gardens were only partly open - there was a path cleared alongside the house where you could officially go, if you wanted to look elsewhere you took your own chances - it was pleasingly deep - well over a foot, and suprisingly still quite pristine - not many people appear to have gone exploring!
This was the first time we did a tour of the house too - we'd left doing it until after sunset as the gardens were so much fun, and pleasingly we were nearly the only people wondering around the house at that time, so great for taking a few photos! The rooms in the house are currently decorated in the theme of a Russian Christmas, and looked amazing!

Une visite conférence à l'Opéra Royal de Versailles, j'en rêvais depuis longtemps !
Ce n'est pas malheureusement idéal pour faire des photos...il faut suivre le conférencier et les autres visiteurs veulent aussi prendre des photos.
Pas de flash possible et peu de lumière, heureusement mon Canon 7D peut monter dans les ISO sans trop de grain : 3200 à 1/4s....sans pied !

An old logging train on display at the Cradle of Forestry in Pisgah National Forest, North Carolina. Before modern equipment they'd used one of these with a crane where the caboose would be to load fresh cut timber on to the cars in between.
On the short trail to see the world's largest Western Redcedar I spotted this awesome nurse log. Some years ago this tree fell, spanning a little gully. The trees that sprouted on the log are slowly sending their roots down, down, down to the ground. In a century the fallen log will have mostly rotted away and those trees will be big and tall and have a crazy root pattern at the base. Mother Nature is amazing.
Log House, SLC, U
The home of the Osmyn brothers and Mary Duel is one of the two remaining log houses from 1847 in Salt Lake City. These buildings were constructed by Mormon pioneers upon arrival in the Salt Lake Valley. This log house was originally part of a fort constructed by the LDS church.
The Duels left Salt Lake City and moved to Centerville and the building was used as a military armory.
The house was purchased by Albert Carrington and he moved it to his property in 1849. Deseret Museum acquired it in 1912 and it was exhibited on Temple Square. The house was moved to its current location in 1985.
97303 and 37405 are seen loading the logs at Aberystwyth for the return to Chirk including shots of Vale Of Rheidol No.8 and a Scania Kieron M.Owen log lorry!

Driver dies in logging truck crash
Posted: Jul. 10, 2008
Raleigh, N.C. — A driver died Thursday when his logging truck hit a guardrail on the Interstate 440 Inner Beltline in Raleigh, went down an embankment and crashed into a tree in the woods.
The driver has been identified as Eric Gene Simmons, 54, of 1609 Dogwood Acres Drive in Sanford. The truck he was driving belonged to Elliott Logging Inc., 4385 Center Church Road in Sanford.
The accident occurred just after 10:30 a.m. Traffic was backed up for hours near the South Saunders Street interchange.
The driver's body was pinned inside the truck. Authorities said they were not sure why the logging truck went off the road, but witnesses said they believed the truck struck the guardrail due to a ruptured tire.
After the truck struck the guardrail and exited the road, it overturned onto its left side and continued to travel down the embankment, according to police. A tree struck the truck in the upper-front portion of the cab. Logs separated from the truck’s trailer and one struck a nearby parked 18-wheeler truck. The driver of that truck took shelter between that truck’s cab and trailer. He was not injured.
At 5:30 p.m. crews had cleared debris from the scene.
As in "Yule log plenty of hours putting up all those Christmas lights."

Its obligatory to take a photo like this when you see a big stack of timber. Seen alongside the Fritham-Frogham track in the southern part of Islands Thorns Inclosure, in the pouring rain.

I went to a nice log cabin potluck the other night. it's amazing a place like this exists so close to town here in SE Michigan. My imagination immediately took me away to northwoods lodges, summer camps, my Alberta cousin's rocky mountain cabin...
I gather it gets a little drafty here however.
Chapin Forest Reservation
The 390 acres of Chapin Forest Reservation are
known for distinctive rock formations and majestic forests. Wander through 5.3 miles of mature woodland trails comprised of beech, maple, oak, tulip and hemlock. Stop by Quarry Pond and walk Lucky Stone Loop Trail.
To protect this beautiful setting from logging, Frederic H. Chapin purchased
the property in 1949 and donated it to the
State of Ohio. Under a lease agreement with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry, Lake Metroparks manages Chapin Forest Reservation. The ledges, or rocky outcroppings of Sharon conglomerate, were formed about 300 million years ago, long before glaciers slid across northern Ohio. To protect the fragile vegetation and for safety reasons, access to the ledges area is restricted to guided walks, which are regularly offered throughout the year.
Sandstone from Quarry Pond and the adjacent streambed were part of a stone quarry that operated during the 1800s. Berea sandstone from this site supplied the foundations for many local buildings, including the Kirtland Temple, which was completed in 1836.
Chapin Forest has also served as a study site. During the late 1950s, the Ohio Division of Forestry and Reclamation began using Chapin Forest as a research site to determine the growth rates of trees for possible commercial timber production.
One of the best scenic overlooks in Lake County is found along Lucky Stone Loop hiking trail. On a clear day, you can see Lake Erie and the Cleveland skyline, 18 miles away. Part of the Buckeye Trail, a continuous hiking trail throughout Ohio, passes through Chapin Forest. Blue paint blazes on some trees mark the Buckeye Trail.
