A lone Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) does its best to blend inconspicuously with a number of Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) and Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus) in Santa Barbara, California. There is a line in 'My Cousin Vinny' when Marisa Tomei's character looks at Joe Pesci and says sarcastically, "Oh yeah, you blend" as he attempts (and fails) to negotiate small-town America. The general dustbin for the flotsam of distant popular culture that is my brain could not stop inwardly chuckling when I spied the Skimmer.
My oldest son and I visited Southern California a few months ago to see a few colleges and talk with admissions and athletics staff. In Santa Barbara, we found some reasonable tacos in a tiny restaurant then did what apparently most tourists do and wandered out to Stearns Wharf for a spell after strolling along the beach, checking out birds and waves. The Wharf was constructed in 1872 by someone named Stearns, and apparently it was something of a boon to the local economy. Without the wharf, there was no place between Los Angeles and San Francisco for a deep-water ocean going ship to tie up. It was necessary for boat passengers wishing to visit Santa Barbara to be rowed ashore through kelp and breakers. Old Man Stearns was in the lumber business, and the wharf was also critical to getting his logs and other freight shipped to market.
Today, Stearns Wharf accommodates several restaurants, tourist shops, ice cream parlors, and above all, parking. Looking at the wharf from the air, it is clear that there is room for a row of shops to line each side, and that would leave plentiful outdoor seating space while creating a plaza like experience. However, ever in service of our beloved automobiles, the good city council people and planners in Santa Barbara have evidently found it compelling to devote a great deal of this prime real estate to the humble parking lot. I suppose if you can't drive there, it doesn't count.

"We were ordered to check out an unregistered settlement on Belsavis and prep the place for evac. Once we arrived I ordered Shadow to find us a place to set up camp while me and the rest of the team searched the settlement for hostiles. Shadow managed to get a abandoned warehouse for use to hole up in. Now its just a matter of time until something goes wrong..."

Although I’ve had my Olympus OMD 5 Mark 2 and phone software for a year or so this is the first time I’ve used it.
The No 90 Bar is on Wallis Road in Hackney Wick. The building features a mural created in 2015 by Argentinian street artists Martin Ron & Jiant.
Martin Ron paints hyper-realistic images, which often incorporate elements of fantasy or machinery, making for his own distinct style of urban surrealism. Where as Jiant’s works focus primarily on animals and fantasy driven landscapes, presenting a surreal depiction of the cosmic energy in the world.
This superb collaboration blends the two artists respective styles seamlessly, with Martin Ron offering up the pair of fragmentary hyper-realistic portraits, decorated by Jiant’s contrasting vibrant head dresses. (londoncallingblog.net)
The stunning art work can be seen from a long way away
Number 238 of my 365 photo challenge - A split-toned, longish exposure, landscape image of a burn, flowing quickly, due to recent heavy rainfall at Newton of Pitcairn near Dunning in Perthshire, Scotland.
Taken using my new LEE Landscape CPL filter. This is a vast improvement in detail and colour rendition from my previous Hoya Pro CPL.
just because it makes me wonder what happened to buckets one and two........
this looks even cooler in the lightbox
