Semiahmoo Spit is a spit that protrudes from the westernmost expanse of shore on Semiahmoo Peninsula between Semiahmoo Bay and Drayton Harbor off the coast of Blaine in Whatcom County, Washington state. The spit is home to Semiahmoo Park
History
In 1858, prospectors came to the Semiahmoo area searching for the Fraser River. The spit seemed like a logical place to set up a post as a launching point for further exploration into the mainland. A trading post was soon established at the spit, and the owner drew up plans for Semiahmoo City. Semiahmoo was expected to become a migration boomtown, but it eventually developed into a fishing town, as the spit provided shelter for Drayton Harbor and an abundance of coastal resources. Whatcom County's first salmon cannery opened in 1881 in Semiahmoo; in 1891, the Alaska Packers Association was the largest salmon cannery in the world. Salmon canning was to be the main source of revenue in Semiahmoo until 1980, when the land was purchased by the land development corporation. Recently, a park with a small, seasonal interpretive center was built near the headland, and the Semiahmoo Resort and Golf Course was built near the spit.
Use of the spit by the Lummi Indian Nation, and current archaeological investigation
Because of its location, the spit provides access to countless resources that thrive in both the calm waters of Drayton Harbor, and the ocean currents through the Strait of Georgia. Historically, the Lummi Indian Nation used the spit for its natural resources; a major village was built on the spit. Today, shell midden is clearly visible in many places, on either side of the spit, as wave action has cut away at the shore, revealing historic artifacts.

Someone asked me once if Honey Buzzards eat honey. It may have been a logical question but I explained kindly that they have a mixed diet but these medium-sized raptors have earned their names by raiding the nests of bees and wasps.
Their eyelids are particularly thick and the scales on their legs are also thick. I am told that If you get a chance to watch them at a stinging insect nest, they shut their eyes tightly and open their wings half-way and gently fan the nest with what some believe to be a naturally evolved pheromone secreted in glands under the wings that calms or subdues the defending insects.
They are also very patient birds and in forests, they sit and watch below the flight of wasps and wild bees and hop & fly from tree to tree to find the ultimate goal - the nest!
You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a sweet old-fashioned notion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
What's love?
Got to do it
Got to do it
What's love?

Temperatures of slightly below 20 degrees and sunshine from the early morning till sunset. Just a fine Sunday and no doubt, spring has arrived in East-Westphalia. So it was logical that we took the day for a long hiking trip along the river Weser between Minden and Petershagen, continued the mill project with two more locations and enjoyed the sunset in Porta Westfalica along the river banks.

Negative Space .
Well for this week I have taken things quite literally and worked " Negative Space " to say what it means - A Negative Space in a Negative Space !! To get this though I had to take three random shots on an old Samsung camera that I won in a photography magazine competition years ago as it has the function on it to turn captures into their negative form .The pictures were taken and put into Serif CraftArtist ready cropped to the correct format as well as being converted to B&W . From the frames section I grabbed the filmstrip and placed each one of the three shots individually in each section of the film strip but intentionally leaving one section blank - a negative space in it's own right ! This idea was my daughter's suggestion and I have to add it is one that is so logical when you think about it ! For all you purists out there - I know the film strip is for colour , but the mono negatives do stand out better and by this time I had taken another three shots to get the background colour right . This configuration tones in well with the film strip and the background negative space here - so here it is as it is !!
For a tune I had trouble thinking of one for a Negative Space - but space is a Void !!
If sadness is a spark which is generated by the lived “potential difference” (to use an electrical term) between the ideal destination and its historical unfulfillment, if this is what sadness is, then the concealment of that “difference”—however it is done—creates the logical opposite of sadness, which is despair: “The mere presence of the everlasting idea of the existence of something infinitely more just and happy than I, already fills me with abiding tenderness and—glory—oh, whoever I may be and whatever I may have done! To know every moment, and to believe that somewhere there exists perfect peace and happiness for everyone and for everything, is much more important to a man than his own happiness. The whole law of human existence consists merely of making it possible for every man to bow down before what is infinitely great. If man were to be deprived of the infinitely great, he would refuse to go on living, and die of despair.

She's real she's deep
She's logical and mystical
She believes in kindness and oneness
And romance and magic
She's sensitive and distant, a warrior and lover
She believes in roadtrips to the stars
and distance with the universe
She's fearless and gentle, wondrous and brave
She lives in waterfalls and forests
and sunsets and galaxies
She is the artist, the thinker, the poem and the dream

Under a false hope that Amtrak would be logical and send the inbound Hiawatha set (with a Veterans NPCU)
right back out as the last outbound of the day, we were quickly disappointed when the sound of an e-bell became audible as Amtrak 342 departed Milwaukee. IDTX charger #4604 brings the Chicago-bound Hiawatha, through the plant and past the searchlights that guard Menominee as light fades.
The people who chose this site to build their houses in the 5th century BC certainly had a nice view. Logical really: danger could be spotted from a distance.
men would ride side-saddle ;-)

an abandoned structure along the colorado roadside, between taos, new mexico, and great sand dunes national park in colorado...the christmas wreath to the right, to my recollection, is the only one in my photostream, but it is the reason i chose this image to share on christmas eve
this christmas day is also rather unusual, because it is the first night of hanukkah as well, the first time that has taken place in 20 years, and just the fifth time in the last 114 years!
Season's Greetings!! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!! Best wishes to you and yours :-)

Playing with colors again ;-) ... this was shot at the Sunnyside park in Steilacoom, Washington last March. It was originally posted to Flickr as a BW but I felt like revisiting it in color and then played with the hue. Since I've been depressed lately blue seemed the logical choice. Funny....when I look at this I don't feel so depressed anymore! :-D

After Norfolk & Western 611’s successful visit to Strasburg in 2019, it seemed logical that a return was likely. Getting it back to Pennsylvania became a stormy journey. The pandemic eliminated the possibility of a 2020 visit, but finally, a return for the entire summer was planned for 2021. Steamed up and ready to leave the North Carolina Transportation Museum, the big 4-8-4 suffered a stoker screw failure, and the return was delayed for repairs. After a three hour wait to get on Amtrak’s Keystone Line in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, she finally was delivered to the Leamon Place interchange with the Strasburg Rail Road late yesterday afternoon. As it was taken to Strasburg, storms rolled in, providing appropriate lighting for its return.
the light was absolutely edible tonight.
positive thought for the day...a day off. and another tomorrow. so, so needed.

Quando ci rivedremo?
Quanto questo tempo è vero?
Per fortuna abbiamo vicino chi ci fa esistere...
Ti è mai capitato di chiederTi se sei parte di qualcosa di troppo grande?
Non capire o essere troppo sensibile?
Come mai succede tutto così?
La logica non è logica ma perchè allora deve esserla?
a voi la risposta amici miei
When we will meet again?
Is this time true or not?
Is your life as you thought or where you are?
For lucky we are by someone that is getting us real...
Have you ever thought thet you are inside something bigger than you?
Misuderstanding or to be to much sensible?
Why it happens always in this way?
Logical things are not logical but why must to be logical?
write your answer my friend..
Logical extension of what’s in my bag series. Unlike controlled and arranged photos, this one is purely accidental. Something strange is happening when the bag is closed.

My first sunrise photos after hundreds of sunsets. Yes I am more an owl than the early morning bird. I need a couple of coffees before having a touch of inspiration. So it is logical that I started my sunrise HDR project during Winter holidays. In my view only bakers and the NSA should get up early. And the NSA should be first in case of suspicious bakers....
I had a tough week last week... I was walking on a path under the trees, at Crystal Bridges, thinking of all my problems and about everything that's very wrong about the world. As I was walking, the sun came out, and I a bud on a tree caught my attention. Coming from Chicago, I am used to polar weather in the winter, landscapes covered in ice and snow. This bud seemed to me somewhat out of place in January, even though here in the South it might not be. Anyway, I took this pic of it. All of a sudden, as I was standing in the sun, looking at this sign of life on one of the highest branches of the tree next to me, I felt strangely better. My problems did not seem that important. Started to realize that I could breath fresh air, and forget all the bad things, for a second or two at least. This was an amazing feeling. So to celebrate I did the most logical thing in the world: I decided that winter was officially just over. In January.
To get this strange mood, you need to use the 85mm lens, and you shoot at 1,2. This is not really logical, but it works!
You also need a zebra crossing the road.

Here is another shot from Sunday evening above Hollywood and the Academy Awards. I wanted to avoid the chaos of my neighborhood on street level but also wanted to capture the busy city from afar so Hollywood Bowl Overlook was my logical destination.
I hoped tourists would rather stand around for no reason hoping a celebrity would be wandering around on foot than head to this vantage and I was mostly correct. The parking lot was full and after a few minutes of waiting, a spot opened up and there was really no one else around me. One guy was set up with a few cameras but was gone after it began to get dark and for a while, I stood on the sloping path down towards the city all by myself--which is what I prefer.
I love cityscapes even though I still have some issues trying to get settings right. It's one thing to expose a shot for the sky or for the foreground but dealing with changing ambient light or working in a longer exposure can present challenges. This was a pretty quick exposure--mainly because I wanted to focus on the blimp as long as it was hovering over my view--but surprisingly, even at longer exposures later in the evening, the clouds really didn't change much. The shutter speeds on the 3 posted so far from sunday night range from 1/125th of a second to 77 seconds and the sky remains mostly the same...the main difference being the light trails on the freeway and the lit buildings after dark.
Probably the biggest saving grace of coming here during the sunset to my back is when the intense light creates that golden sliver across downtown as seen here. I've shot here maybe 15 times now over the last year and have seen conditions like this on about 1/3 of the visits. While part of me is always bummed that I didn't go somewhere to shoot the actual sunset, at least I have aspects of the sunset incorporated into my shot. There really is no clean angle of a sunset here and I haven't found any good areas along Mulholland that are easy to stop at either. Nearly every scenic overlook faces away from the sunset--probably intentionally to avoid traffic--and as long as this is my favorite city view, I'll probably continue to pick this place first over any other area nearby.

I'm living in Germany. Hence, the logical consequence is that I neither travel in Germany nor do I take many photos in and of Germany. Right? Many of you probably know this, too. We all want to travel the world and see these far away places but keep forgetting that right here where we live is someone else's far away place. You don't necessarily have to fly halfway around the world to find exciting locations. It's most probably worth spending more time exploring your own neighborhood as well. Although I have to admit it strangely feels a bit like the broccoli you have to eat before you can get the icecream, I'm trying to save a place in my travel plans to get to know my own country a little better in the future. Maybe a small place, but a place.
Let's kick this off with an image of the Cathedral in Cologne (Germany).
What a great day I had yesterday, 27 December 2018 walking around New York City with a flickr friend Matthias, aka, m_laRs_k. We started at the Port Authority and hit Hudson Yard, World Trade Center, Wall Street, Fulton Fish Market/Brooklyn Bridge, Washington Square Park and then continued north. Around 33rd St., Matthias noticed that we only had about 45 minutes until the sun set. Central Park seemed like the logical place so off we went, another 24 blocks, no problem!! Matthias knows Manhattan pretty well and we headed to this rock overlooking the ice skating rink. The sunset was pretty much a let down WRT color but the view was spectacular!! I recorded it with a 20mm 8 shot vertical pan and then it was time to call it a day. All in all we covered app. 13 miles and a pretty good loop of Manhattan. It turned out to be a perfect day of friendship, city walking and great photographic opportunities. As seen with m_laRs_k: www.flickr.com/photos/138698875@N04/

Is it a beetle? Yes it is.
Is it a potato beetle? Yes.
Does it look like a potato beetle? Yes
The similar Colorado Potato Beetle is found throughout the USA, but this one, the "False Potato Beetle" is found only in Eastern USA. Eastern Potato Beetle would seem a more logical name...oh well.

While waiting for the Oystercatchers to come my way I squatted down in about an inch of water, as they came closer and closer my knees reached the point where I had to move. I had a choice, get up and the birds would leave or sit down; of course I made the logical choice, I sat down in the icy cold water and was rewarded with these photos.

where is sleep? that state like death so dear to me for a short time where is my mind? empty of all thoughts light into nothingness..
nothing worth mentioning white sheet white quilt white pillow white night white t-shirt so much white might change to black more in tune with the night will find my sleep if i find you without you no rest for the mind or the body memory is alone the night is populated with noises birds start their choruses wish they'd stop want silence and peace and white space for my soul like eternity is eternity white? is it black? is it brown? maybe it has no color where does it begin? where does it end? oh, it is all in the mind wait does the mind have a space of its own? is it me? is it you? is it us?

Specs of coloured light pierce the inky blackness of the night away in the distance to the south of Tonelnagee mountain[ from where I took the photo] and across the Wicklow Gap, seen just before dawn on the first day of January 2017. There is a perfectly logical explanation for them but there are many recorded incidences of moving lights flickering and dancing across the moors and wild places.. This strange phenonimum is referred to as "Will O` the Wisp" or "Jack O` Lantern". It is common in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and also in Nova Scotia and the Appalachian mountains. It also exists in many other forms throughout the World. It is said that it is the fairies who create this to toy with unwary human. Others say that its is the spirits of souls who were not allowed into hell and who are condemned to wander the wilderness forever carrying a glowing ember from the fires.
It was first recorded as been seen in Shropshire, in England, in 1660.
People are warned that if they see theses lights, to look away immediately and ignore them, as those who dont find themselves drawn in with an un controlable desire to catch them.
Many have been known to be found at daylight on the following morning completely disjointed and exhausted from chasing the lights continuously through the long night and unable to catch them or escape there strange magnetic attraction.
Scientists are now of the opinion that the effect may be caused by phospherence created by the reaction of various types of decaying vegative matter. The spirits apparently dont believe it though!
According to dictionaries, Willow the Wisp, is used to define a person who is very secretive and elusive.Cute in other words. We use the word cute here to mean slippery or underhanded or hidden.
My favourite expression with regard one of these types is; " That fella is so cute, he would live in your ear and let the other one out in rooms!"
Something that is "Willow the wispish" is also a pipe dream that not attainable. A bit like the problem your going to have making any sense out of all this!!!!

The lights seen in the photo are of the Turlough Hill, Hydro Electric Scheme built in 1974. They literally removed the top of a mountain and created a reservoir. Below this is a natural lake, Lough Nahanagan. The water is pumped between these during the night and allowed to fall back to the lower lake during the day which operates the turbines. The operating plant is concealed under the upper lake in a vast made made chamber and the for the lower lake in the natural cliffs surrounding it It is completely silent.,An incredible feet of engineering which has proved extremely successful.

Ive never seen these fairy lights myself but I have on occasion, woken up in a hell of a lot worse places than the middle of a peat bog, and Im saying no more!!!!!!
Do hope you enjoy the spooky photo and my ramblings.

Update!!!!!!
I see several people are referring to the lights as coming from a village. My write up clearly states that they are from the"TURLOUGH HILL HYDRO ELECTRIC SCHEME!"
Perhaps reading the write up might help. I forgive you though! Well, mostly!!!! Lol!
