This was taken a couple of years ago on one of the many fine beaches in Pembrokeshire, Wales. I am still digging through those archives at the minute, as I have not had chance to get out. Fingers crossed for some better weather on Saturday as am hoping to get out then.
Have a nice evening!
The sun breaking through the rain clouds combined with a polarising filter really brought the colours out on the amazing rock strata at Sandymouth Beach.
You realize when you start reflecting that even though we don't want to live in the past, it is so much a part of who we are today.

Hurricane Fiona devastated much of the Canadian Maritime provinces, including my beloved summer home of the past thirty plus years, Prince Edward Island. Lots of property damage either by wind or storm surge. Still waiting to hear about my cottage and just hoping for the best. Fortunately so far, it sounds like no one was killed or severely injured, which is the best news in all of this. Unlike people, stuff can be replaced.
…The best has all but gone as winter takes it’s grip across the land - well in the Northern hemisphere that is! Still going through the many shots I took on our walks in Cumbria so sorry to be a bore.…..

The old sand and gravel pits at Clifton have flooded and now make for an attractive refuge for all manner of wild fowl and geese. Every now and then the River Severn gets a bit full and decides to take a wander across it's flood plain, taking in the gravel pit lakes and plenty of the surounding land as well. This was the scene about a year ago, with the little group of trees almost perfectly reflected in the flood, and in the far distance you can make out the snow capped Malvern Hills.

The secret side of me, I never let you see.
I keep it caged but I can't control it.
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly.
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it. [...]
I must confess that I feel like a monster

Emas at the Yushima Seidō, with a big basin of water in front of them.
An ema is a wooden plaque on which you write your wishes and prayers. The name is written with the kanji for 'picture' [e = 絵] and 'horse' [ma = 馬], reflecting an ancient belief that horses could bring wishes to the kami, the gods. But emas are not only used at Shinto shrines, they are often seen at Buddhist temples too - a practice that dates back at least to the Kamakura period (that is 1185-1333). And in this case, a Confucian temple.
The name of the place (湯島聖堂 with Japanese kanji) actually just means 'the sacred hall in Yushima'. It was built in this spot in 1690 (there was an earlier temple, founded in 1639, built in what is now Ueno Park, but the shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi moved it here). The temple was closely associated with the Shōhei-zaka Gakumonjo school of Neo-Confucianism, state-run from 1797 to the Meiji restoration of 1871. After 1871 the temple has shared its grounds with several educational institutions (and the Ministry of Education, and the Tokyo National Museum) - currently you can find parts of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University in the vicinity, and the school's emblem of a plum blossom is said to derive from the temple. Students praying for success in their exams come to visit here.
I went shopping yesterday for a new pair of trousers, but didn't find anything nice. So perhaps the sewing machine may have to come out again. These pins my come in handy. HMM:)
