Brant/Brent Goose - Branta bernicla
The brant, or brent goose (Branta bernicla), is a species of goose of the genus Branta. The black brant is a pacific North American subspecies.
It used to be a strictly coastal bird in winter, seldom leaving tidal estuaries, where it feeds on eel-grass (Zostera marina) and the seaweed, sea lettuce (Ulva). On the east coast of North America, the inclusion of sea lettuce is a recent change to their diet, brought about by a blight on eelgrass in 1931. This resulted in the near-extirpation of the brant. The few that survived changed their diet to include sea lettuce until the eelgrass eventually began to return. Brants have maintained this diet ever since as a survival strategy. In recent decades, it has started using agricultural land a short distance inland, feeding extensively on grass and winter-sown cereals. This may be behavior learned by following other species of geese. Food resource pressure may also be important in forcing this change, as the world population increased over 10-fold to 400,000-500,000 by the mid-1980s, possibly reaching the carrying capacity of the estuaries. In the breeding season, it uses low-lying wet coastal tundra for both breeding and feeding. The nest is bowl-shaped, lined with grass and down, in an elevated location, often near a small pond.
The brant goose is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds applies.

Tune Queen & David Bowie - Under Pressure
Pressure
Pushing down on me
Pushing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um-ba-ba-beh
Um-ba-ba-beh
Dee-day-da
E-day-da, that's okay
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out"
Tomorrow, gets me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets
Dey-dey-dey-mm-hm
Da-da-da-ba-ba
Okay
Chipping around, kick my brains 'round the floor
These are the days, it never rains, but it pours
Ee-do-ba-be
Ee-da-ba-ba-ba
Um-bo-bo
Be-lap
People on streets
Ee-da-de-da-de
People on streets
Ee-da-de-da-de-da-de-da
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out"
Tomorrow, gets me higher, higher
Pressure on people
People on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence, but it don't work
Keep coming up with love, but it's so slashed and torn
Why? Why? Why?
Love (love, love, love, love)
Insanity laughs, under pressure we're breaking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love?
Give love, give love, give love, give love?
'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to
Care for the people on the
Edge of the night (people on streets)
And love dares you
To change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure

Despite having Christmas on my own I had a fantastic day. An early morning zoom meeting watching my daughter and granddaughters opening presents, followed by the friendship of neighbours, then a fantastic muddy mountain bike ride to the coast, it felt wonderful to get some hard exercise . then another zoom meeting with my daughters, and lots of cooking to show my wonderful Italian friend Maura a traditional British Christmas dinner for our late night FaceTime Christmas special. Finally some dancing to Toots and The Maytals in a kilt :))))) Pressure Drop is by Toots and the Maytals. Sadly Toots Hibbert died to Covid last year, so sad, he was probably the most uplifting person I've ever seen perform at a gig. Pressure drop too after all my cooking exploits, just need to work out how to eat all this food :)))
My favourite days, strong winds driving squalls and presenting dramatic moments. I always love the excitement of rapidly changing conditions. That rush to try and catch the moment fills me with the same wild energy. Under the pressure is by The War on Drugs.
Changing tides caused by the the Moon's gravitational forces; earthquakes; tsunamis; storm waves and surges; oil spills, drunken ship captains and more create danger for piers - that's PIER PRESSURE.
Crystal Pier, Pacific Beach, San Diego, California is the only pier where you can make overnight accommodations. The Hotel & Cottages opened in 1927.
A lovely evening spent at Cwm Nash, watching the tide drop and the sun set slowly, with beautiful shore platforms all around. We're off to see Toots and the Maytals tonight, which should be great , so it has to be a track of theirs, and Pressure Drop, always gives good photography so that's fine.
Under the pressure is a great track by The War on Drugs, and is fine for this, as the pressure of the air dictates tide and weather. This is also taking my rock pool in front of a view to a ridiculous level as this pool was too big, but i loved the waves around it's rim. The building and impending storms were really beautiful, and i've never seen them as blue before.
PARENTS: You need money? NO. Here is money. You need a car? NO. We got you a car. You need a house? NO. Here are the keys. You want to be as successful as them? No. You have to SUCCEED. What do I need? Nobody cares.
Life is full of pressure. The pressure has crashed my life.

мy мυѕιc "David Bowie / Queen - Under pressure"
"Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours"
Summer comes, winter fades
Here we are just the same
Don't need pressure, don't need change
Let's not give the game away
There used to be an empty space
A photograph without a face
But with your presence, and your grace
Everything falls into place
Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that
There's no need to worry when you see just where we're at
Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
Heavy words are hard to take
Under pressure precious things can break
And how we feel is hard to fake
So let's not give the game away
Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
Doesn't mean my heart stops skipping when you look at me like that
There's no need to worry when you see just where we're at
Just please don't say you love me
'Cause I might not say it back
One of my artworks for the past exhibition TIME WARPS at Kondor Art Garden.
Thanks to my partner Eli Medier for his poem:
"Hanging on empty dark eyes
reaching out to find a meaning
lonely stay in your fears
chilled exposed to winds
The blood spreads all around
I wonder why
such an abandonment
But I keep my distance
from the sharp points
It's hard not to feel them in your eyes"

Pop, pop, hiss, hiss, oh what a relief it is. Pressure relief valve on one of the steam locomotives at Niles Canyon Railway maintenance yard, near Sunol, California.

I thought I'd spare you all from another lengthy write-up this time, except to say there are so many little gems and details to photograph here... you really could spend a full day in here, especially if a few beers are involved next door.
In case you're all disappointed with the short text, here's a little tune to fill the gap... like a lot of things in life you don't always appreciate them while they're here... enjoy!
A snow flurry falling over Stac Pollaidh from the Beinn an Oin ridge. This was the day I was floundering through deep soft snow. I thought it looked less deep on the ridge , but it wasn't the case. Pressure drop applies to the weather, and my pressure too, and is by Toots and the Maytals
