Kinderdijk lies in the Alblasserwaard, at the confluence of the Lek and Noord rivers. In Alblasserwaard, problems with water became more and more apparent in the 13th century. Large canals, called "weteringen", were dug to get rid of the excess water in the polders. However, the drained soil started setting, while the level of the river rose due to the river's sand deposits. Most of the current mills were built in 1738 and 1740 (see below).
After a few centuries, an additional way to keep the polders dry was required. It was decided to build a series of windmills, with a limited capacity to bridge water level differences, but just able to pump water into a reservoir at an intermediate level between the soil in the polder and the river; the reservoir could be let out into the river through locks whenever the river level was low enough; the river level has both seasonal and tidal variations. Although some of the windmills are still used, the main water works are provided by two diesel pumping stations near one of the entrances of the windmills site.
You can get star trails even in cities with lots of light pollution. About 18 mo ago, I took photos at night in Sydney. I didn't get as many star trails as I had hoped for but did get lots of plane trails.
I tried again later this time after the planes stop flying in and out of Sydney's main airport at 11 pm. I also used a different lens. The only problem I had was it was quite windy which caused a bit of camera shake even though the camera was on a tripod. At least I did not have to worry about dew on the camera or lens. This image is a composite of 113 photos.

Happy New Week!
Thanks very much for taking the time to visit, comment or leave a fave.
This is another photograph from my series of the hidden beauties. It is an aromatic herb what can be used for the therapy of illnesses, like for instance stomach problems and head aches as well. So ? Did anyone recognise is already ?
In the kitchen I know it as an ingredient of some fish souces and cucumber salad and I am not a big fan of it.
In photographical terms it’s doing a great job too, especially when You go really close (photo is coming soon).
Because You are all smart and close to nature You did for sure find out already, that this is dill.
Dies ist ein weiteres Bild aus meiner Reihe der versteckten Schönheiten. Es handelt sich um ein Gewürzkraut welches auch zur Behandlung von Krankheiten, wie z.B. Magenproblemen oder auch Kopfschmerzen verwendet werden kann. Hat es schon jemand erkannt ?
In der Küche kenne ich es als Bestandteil von Fischsoßen und Gurkensalat und ich bin kein großer Fan davon.
Fotografisch macht es auch mächtig was her, vor allem aus unmittelbarer Nähe (Foto folgt ein anderes Mal).
Da ihr alle schlau und naturverbunden seid, habt Ihr bestimmt schon herausgefunden, dass es sich um den Dill handelt.

Strange title for sure, but I have an association with somebody screwing in a new light bulb in a lamp.
Taken yesterday, when spring arrived in the middle of winter, and I went out to the Noordwaard. The light was amazing, so another problem with too many nice shots and animal encounters (sea eagle, hare, kestrel, ducks like the smew, buzzards etc. etc.).
And bees everywhere.
I normally always forget to use my macro lens, but this time I was sensitized by the emerging macro's of snowdrops, so when I saw them I thought I could give it a try.
I found it rather frustrating to capture a bee on a snowdrop, because they are so fast and never sit still in the right place. So I was 'somewhat' surprised to see this one later when i was going through my images.
There are a few different Baubles here. Oh the problems that they can create.
Happy Smile on Saturday
"hey little apple blossom
what seems to be the problem
all the ones you tell your troubles
to they don't really care for you come
and tell me what you're thinking
cause just when the boat is sinking
a little light is blinking
and i will come and rescue you
lots of girls walk around in tears
but that's not for you you've been
looking all around for years for
someone to tell your troubles to
come and sit with me and talk awhile
let me see your pretty little smile
put your troubles in a little pile
and i will sort them out for you
i'll fall in love with you
i think i'll marry you"

I'm sure when I last went past this site it was a petrol station! No problem selling all these new houses it would seem.
I thought that this Heron would have no problems eating this long thin fish; however, that was not the case. I watched it struggle trying to swallow for several minutes. I finally walked away because I thought I might be putting off its meal. I was gone about 45 minutes, and when I came back the Great Blue was in the same place, but the lump was no longer sticking out of the side of its neck.
It's time for "Grab-a-Box" week once again. This time I reached in deep and pulled out a yellow box about half filled. That means I might have pulled the good stuff out for show or scanned already a long time ago leaving the second class product in the box. After some help from a friend I put the puzzle together of what was left. It appears to be two days of photos, April 25 and 26 of 1992. I was probably visiting my father in Norwich, NY and probably included the D&H/CP tracks it my travels.
I remeber this chase of D&H/CPR #554 being a hectic high paced run. Three "Bigs" attack the east side of Belden Hill with ease as they race out of Haurpersville, NY. I'll have to use I88 to jump ahead, even over the hill as my "MLW Monday" submission disappears into the hills!
Desde este punto ya se aprecia la cima.
El macizo del Mont Blanc está compartido por 3 países: Francia, Italia y Suiza. A la derecha de la foto vemos nuestras sombras y la de la cima proyectadas sobre el Valle de Aosta (Italia).
Una vez llegada a esta colina, ya habíamos pasado la zona de grietas que pudimos salvar sin problemas.

"Sure you've heard of her, whispers telling you to lock your windows tight

As I was driving by this old barnyard, I noticed a few chickens hurriedly making their way across the yard to the shed. Then I spied the problem. A cocky rooster was purposely strutting toward the hens with just one thing on his mind. All I could think of was that the farmer bought a new young rooster and the hens were not pleased. I wish I could have watched what unfolded, but I was stopped in the middle of a country road (yet again). I can hear the ladies now, “We want old Mr. Doodledont back again.”
Usually it's the other way round, bank of cloud on the horizon and clear skies. The sky was scarlet looking back towards Sheffield and Burbage and I couldn't quite squeeze it in.
As usual not without incident. Spilt coffee in my camera bag, cleaning cloths were like I'd rubbed them with lard and completely useless, left a lens hood here and had to traipse all the way back to retrieve it, got soaked on the return and forgot I'd disconnected the stove in the van and left the regulator at home and my back up butane cannister was empty, so no bacon sandwiches.
First world problems!
Met een vertraging van maarliefst ruim 21 uur (!) passeert op 1 september 2017 de 186 268 van RhenusRail / Crossrail met Ekol-shuttle 43984 uit Triëst naar Zeebrugge de fotografen ter hoogte van het dorpje Nispen, vlak onder Roosendaal.
Het was voor zo ver ik weet voor het eerst dat een 186'er van RhenusRail in Nederland te zien is, en probleemloos verliep het ook niet. Nadat de trein om 10:59 veilig kreeg in Roosendaal duurde het (vermoedelijk door problemen met de omschakeling van het beveiligingssyteem) maarliefst een half uur voordat de trein bij Nispen passeerde. Ondertussen dreven flinke wolken voorbij die in traag tempo regelmatig voor de zon langs sukkelden, wat voor behoorlijke stress zorgde. Uiteindelijk toch geslaagd, al had de trein geen 5 seconden later moeten komen.
Even in SL - problems can come to visit. But unlike Real Life..... "Mute and de-render" can make many of those problems go away :-)
All life, as if an endless moment...
Seasons change after season.
This whole wonderful world was in white,
Then suddenly it becomes green again...
Where is the line, the one beyond which this life is?
Where is sensuality, and where is rationality?
Where is what we call MIRAGES,
And where is the inexorable reality?
And the world - it is as if woven from problems,
The mysteries in it are sometimes inexplicable,
But we live in it for some reason, why?
Everything in this world is so inexplicable...
We want it to be simple, why?
To understand everything that we do not understand?
So that no one understands
Everything that we feel and everything that we know?
What are we striving for, what do we want to understand?
First we create, and then we destroy again,
We are so used to losing so much,
That our souls become hardened from losses.
We are used to life, and it is only a moment!
I just started living, and life is already coming to an end,
And this world remains a fairy tale
A mystery, once unsolved...
Probably many owners of these cameras will agree with me ... When I decided to go on a long journey with the Foweon, many eminent editions wrote about the problem in the red range ... Now I know that these were not tetrahromats ...

The last of the Ruxton images for a while. I am having severe internet problems and I am serving this up in this moment of actual internet access. The Griffon is a wonderful design, I think, and sculpture also. The reflections are a bonus.

Possibly due to problems further up the track an unscheduled train ran Southbound with a loading of mainly empty flat wagons bound for Brighton Hub. There was no sign of the paper train or even train 36 at Brighton Hub. The loading for the evening's log train was enginless at the freight yard and there was no sign of any activity. However TR units 11 + 01 did give me an opportunity to shoot the train in this nice colourful spot approaching the Hub at Brighton. Rarely is the scenery this green in this area.

These tiny blue beauties really are very small, similar to, but smaller than forget-me-nots.
It's a very interesting plant the Brunnera, grown mainly for its exotic ground cover, almost succulent foliage. It has.largish, ornate leaves and wehn they begin to show again after winter it also sends out these lovely little flowers. This variety is called 'Jack Frost' .
I'll paste a photo of the foliage in the comments below so you can see......

Thank you very much for your comments and for your faves.

Sometime long, long ago someone forgot to take out the battery. The cable was corroded up to the light meter. The perfect activity for a rainy Sunday.
It did not take me long to have a few ideas today. I was racking my brain however earlier in the week. Sometimes an idea just
pops into your head out of the blue. Problem today was that I needed to take the shot before I left for rehearsal. There would not be any real light once home later on.

Happy Macro Mondays
So this shot was pure luck. Was on an aircraft flying from Dubai to Heathrow and following the flight path on screen. Noticed we were going through Turkey so opened the blinds and saw this at 36000 feet up. Had to try take the shot and even though some clarity lost through the window it was just a beautiful sight and had to share!
Ararat is located at Agri in eastern Turkey near the Armenian and Iranian borders. The summit of Mt. Ararat is 5,165 meters above sea level. It is higher than any mountain in the continental United States except for Alaska or in Europe outside the Caucasus.
Ararat is a dormant volcano; the last eruption was on June 2, 1840. At present the upper third of the mountain is covered with snow all the time; the last hundred meters of snow at the top have turned to ice. For climbers on the mountain, fresh running water is available after the sun has been up a while to melt the snow, but it is cut off in the late afternoon when cold air has overcome the heat of the sun. Below the snow the slopes are covered with great blocks of black basalt rock, some as large as village houses.
Over the years various groups have explored Ararat in the hopes of finding remains of Noah's Ark. Both Josephus in about 70 A.D. and Marco Polo about 1300 A.D. mention its existence on the mountain, but their reports are based on others' accounts. Josephus remarks that its remains are on display for all to see without need of an organised exploration. In more recent years many groups have hunted for it there. The possibility that ancient fables are historical fact is intriguing, and each new discovery of truth in previously discredited records gives additional strength to continuing the search for archaeological confirmation.
However, the problems of establishing exactly what the biblical record in this case means are serious ones that need to be settled even before one accepts this particular high mountain as the right place to look for the ark. In itself even that ignores the possibility that Noah and his family used up the ark in bits and pieces to build their new homes, a fate that has destroyed many other famous structures in the Near East since.
The story of Noah's ark, as it is told in the Bible, is a reworking of an earlier Babylonian myth recorded in the Gilgamesh Epic. The hero of the earlier version is one Utnapishtim, the favorite of Ea, the god of wisdom. It seems probable that the Babylonian story was based on an unusually devastating flood in the Euphrates (Firat) River basin, and that the ark in it grounded on the slopes of one of the Zagros mountains. The biblical word that we read as "Ararat" could as well be read "Urartu"; the text has merely "rrt" and the proper vowels must be supplied.
Urartu was the name of a historical kingdom, but the word also meant "a land far away" and "a place in the north." So, while Buyuk Agri Dagi is a spectacular mountain and not a difficult one to climb for those experienced in high altitude exercise, it still seems less than likely that Noah's Ark will be found there. That doubt does not detract from the continuing interest in it, nor from the important achievements of archaeologists in deepening our understanding of the Old Testament.
Note: Been having a lot of problems with Flickr lately and it appears I still am even with using Chrome instead of Mozilla! My comments here with my photos are fine, but in the group pools the comments section is not showing.... (thank goodness it didn't start happening until I had awarded several others in The New Masterclass group!)
I am not sure if this is something with Flickr or it is my computer!
At any rate, I am taking my computer in and having a full recovery done today so that hopefully everything will be fine and STAY running smoothly.
I will be back! And I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
I think both Dom and I saw this composition roughly at the same time. We had stopped at this section of the falls in Ulafossen and had tried different compositions. Looking back on my photos from here most didn’t work but I’m sure if there was a teacher grading me I’d get an A for effort at least. The only problem with this composition was it meant placing our tripods, one at a time, on a very slippy rock that sat out in the rapids. There was plenty of space to stand behind our tripods but that would, in all likelihood, lead to a one way ticket over the 10 meter fall that was not too far behind where we were. So I pushed my tripod and camera out as far as I dared and still was able to access the dials and see the screen. My hands constantly hovered over the camera as I was scared that it might start slipping away to a watery grave a couple of miles downstream. As long as I could get that foreground rock in the bottom left hand corner with the falls in the top right I was happy. I rattled off a number of shots with the hope that some would have half interesting patterns in the water with this being the best of the bunch. I particularly like the little triangular water splash in front of the main falls with that being the main selling point to choose this photo.
We carried on up the falls, though I - at the time - was working my way up a little faster than Dom. He had gone all Bear Grylls on me and was eating all the berries he could get his hands on, leaving nothing for the wildlife - both four and two legged - that might come after us. By the time we got to the top and turned in the direction of our cabin where we planned to grab some lunch and then head deeper into Rondane with the car I turned to Dom and said “I think I’ve gone and done something with my knee”....

Old infrastructure problem at Albani Falls Dam in Oldtown, Idaho. The gate is just about rusted through, and the others are not far behind, apparently. There is about a 15' difference in water level between the 2 sides, creating quite the rush of water! This is the Pend Oreille River, which carries much of the rain and snowmelt water from the NW Rocky Mountains to the Columbia River, and then to the Pacific Ocean.
