Pemaquid Point Lighthouse - 3115 Bristol Road, Pemaquid, Maine
The fence protects the lighthouse from tourists.
The rocks protect the lighthouse from boats and sharks.
Note: This image is a 15 capture (11504 x 7095 pixel) composite.
I find that composites markedly reduce the wide angle effect, and I therefore prefer them to the extremely short focal lengths that would be required for a single capture image. Though you can still see a curvature of the rocks in the foreground, and a bit of inward tilt to the lighthouse and trees near the edges of the image.
NS 4423 leads manifest 38G east up the west slope as it passes the slide protection fences that line along the side of the rails in Cassandra, PA.
I love the sun but I try not to forget to protect myself, when necessarily, with glasses, a hat or sun cream.
Have a great, sunny week, dear Flickr friends. HMM

and spoil most photos. However I do like the effect with this shot. This is a lionsmane jellyfish which has stinging tentacles that can cause blisters. The young cod family of fish seem to be unaffected and seek protection
A beautiful night in Philadelphia over Thanksgiving weekend.
This was my first stop, straight from the airport and BOY was it thrilling when a motorcycle (as in dirt bike) gang showed up around the corner just to my left. It got a bit dicey when the cops showed up and the chase was on. It was just like July in Boston when a bicycle gang of anarchists showed up. Good times. I was fortunately wielding my tripod as protection.
Anyway, this is Philadelphia's stunning city hall down Broad Street. What a sight. Next time I'm bringing my bear spray.
Remote, peaceful, atmospheric part of the north Kent coast. Easy access to Saxon Shore Way..The reserve is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protection Area, because of its importance for populations of wading birds and wildfowl. This coastal grazing marsh reserve is made up of wet grassland drained by a network of ditches, reedbed, scrub, shallow lakes, saltmarsh and the mudflats where Faversham Creek meets the Swale estuary.
Many ports in Hokkaido feature protection barriers like this one, built from tetrapods making really interesting structures, especially when seen in winter when it snows.
These are fascinating to look at but also stark reminders of the risks in the region from offshore earthquakes and the tsunami that can result from these. As someone who lives in a country where these kind of things never come to mind and where safety is pretty much taken from granted, it's something that makes me respect the people of Japan who find ways to live even in the presence of these risks but also always striving to use technology to stay safe.
The resulting utilitarian structures take on a sense of function as their primary goal, but nevertheless achieve beauty even so.

Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
Trumpeter Swans Protecting their cygnet. I had to stumble down a pretty steep rocky embankment. This put the parents on high alert. I realized after getting into position that they were actually paddling towards me. At that same time I realized that there was no easy or quick way to get away if they decided to attack. So I sat very still hoping they would determine that I wasn't a threat. This image was taken as they decided that I wasn't going to be a problem, so they swam away. Whew!
The sand dune systems protect the land from the sea, stabilizing the environment and allowing the tussocks and hardy bushes to grow in this harsh environment. But beyond the dune system and small cliffs is the beautiful, clean restless southern ocean. Cape Woolamai, Phillip Island. www.basscoast.vic.gov.au/assets/general-downloads/Sustain...

Mass-produced and cheap. I tend to find them at the graveyard - funeral ornaments symbolising the desire for protection. However, I have got one too, at home, in my study. When I bought this plaster cast angel I was sure that its purpose would be purely photographic - a suitable object to experiment with light and focus. But I am no longer sure that this is all there is to it. Dolls, puppets, statues and sculptures have a life of their own. This one is trivial in its shape, aesthetically even a piece of Kitsch. And yet it talks. Urging me to give a response. What do I say?
