They were transferring this large boat, used for charter, to her home port somewhere. It was wintertime and a strong north-westerly wind (Maestrale) was blowing, not the ideal conditions for a journey. Probably they passed too near the rocky coast of the island of SanT'Antioco, in south west Sardinia, the engine failed and the wind pushed her against the rocks. No sails were up so they could not manouvre. German flag, five crew members, all rescued by the coast guard. The boat stood here for several months because the charter company decided the costs of removing and repairing her were too expensive.
So aftrer a while the local authorities moved the wreck into the nearby town of Calasetta and demolisher her.
The light is on inside this kiosk but the telephone equipment that used to be installed in it has been dismantled and taken away. Many examples of the famous K6 kiosk, which was in production from 1936 to a design by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, now enjoy statutory protection as buildings of special architectural or historic interest. This particular kiosk, at Tickenham in North Somerset, isn't listed, but one that is can be found just a couple of miles from here on Clevedon's sea front. Some similarly redundant kiosks in this part of the world have found new uses, for example to house emergency defibrillators or as miniature lending libraries. Hidden in a dip below the hill that is just discernible through the gloom, the M5 motorway ascends to the Wynhol Gap before threading its way through the Gordano Valley. Photograph made Monday 23rd November 2015.
Update October 2016: this photo is no longer "on" in quite the same way because the light inside the kiosk now fails to illuminate. I'm glad I took the chance when I had it.
Gidleigh Common, Dartmoor. Originally known as Gidleigh stone circle. It's an impressive place, even though it's been subject to damage over the years, including stones being split & others removed for use in building the nearby Gidleigh leat. Today, there are 23 standing stones and 11 which now lie recumbent. Archaeological investigations show the circle once boasted 70 stones.
"In the 1970s, canola was created through traditional plant cross-breeding by removing two things found in the rapeseed plant: glucosinolates and erucic acid. Erucic acid was removed because it was believed to be inedible or toxic in high doses. The newly developed plant was renamed "canola" – a combination of "Canadian" and "Oil" (or ola) to make this difference apparent." From the link below.

I absolutely love the time of year when the fields turn bright yellow with the Canola flowers. The day before yesterday was the first day I had been out when I saw any fields with the crop fully in bloom. I have to admit that I don't like the smell of Canola, but the colour is so spectacular and pretty. In this shot, the sky is beginning to darken, ready to rain a little later.
These two old, wooden barns were part of a CPR Demonstration Farm. I have added a previously posted photo in a comment box below, showing the whole farm.
"The home, the barn, everything seen in this yard once served a rather unique and special purpose. Operating as a fully functioning “demonstration farm”, near Vulcan Alberta, and tied to the Canadian Pacific Railway, it was a show piece of sorts a century ago, promoting the region’s agricultural potential. Prospective settlers would be told where to acquire land and of course similar farm buildings, what crops to grow and how to do it efficiently, what equipment to purchase, what techniques to use and so on.
The CPR had a vested interest, of course, in the success of this endeavour. They’d profit both on the sale of these kit farms and then again, many-fold, on the resultant business brought to the railway through the moving of inbound materials needed by all those new settlers; and outbound agricultural products the area would produce. And the transporting of people in and out, all the stuff needed for new towns that would spring up, and any industry established there, they too all moved by railway. It was win-win for the CPR!"

The day before yesterday, 1 July 2017, was a great day, spent with friend, Pam. I picked her up just after 8:00 am and did a long drive in Southern Alberta. We saw our target bird - a Common Nighthawk, and all sorts of other things including plants and old barns. It took a round trip of 414 km to get the Nighthawks, but it was so worth it! Much further than I normally drive. Towards the end of our day, the rain arrived, accompanied by lightning streaks. This couldn't have been timed more perfectly, to wash off a lot of the dust that covered my car after 12 hours of driving hot, dusty roads! So welcome! We have another hot day today and the forecast is for very hot days for at least the next week. So far, the forecast is 33C for Friday, 35C for Saturday and 31C for Sunday.
It was such a thrill to see a Common Nighthawk / Chordeiles minor (a rather strange looking bird), as I had always wanted to see one actually lying on a fence post or wooden railing. People get such amazing photos of them like that, and that is what I was determined to find this summer. Last year, I had driven to this area in Southern Alberta, hoping to find one, but had been out of luck. Though I ended up with the one in the photo I posted yesterday, lying on a hard, metal railing that lacked character, I'm still happy as can be. Not only did friend Pam and I see this one, but there were three other Nighthawks there, too. Two of the others were also on a metal rail, but the fourth was on a fence post - not the best angle, but it was still nice to see a fence post perch. How close we came to missing them. I said I wanted to just check the first part of a small side road first, before continuing on the road we were on - and there they were! I had seen a nighthawk on maybe five different occasions over the years, but most were in flight and one was perched very high up in a tree. For Pam, this was the first time she had ever seen one, and she was so happy to see this lifer.
"On warm summer evenings, Common Nighthawks roam the skies over treetops, grasslands, and cities. Their sharp, electric peent call is often the first clue they’re overhead. In the dim half-light, these long-winged birds fly in graceful loops, flashing white patches out past the bend of each wing as they chase insects. These fairly common but declining birds make no nest. Their young are so well camouflaged that they’re hard to find, and even the adults seem to vanish as soon as they land." From AllABoutBirds.

I was so tired after driving such a long distance and it was a hot day - the temperature got up to 30C. I so rarely do such a long drive, and I've barely driven all winter and spring. It felt so good to actually get out on a long drive like this, and we saw all sorts of interesting things that we just had to stop and photograph - of course!
Every single time I go out with my camera for a drive, I never forget to be SO thankful to live in a country where I have the freedom and safety to go where I want, and to see such beauty. Thank you, Alberta and Albertans - and Happy 150th Birthday, Canada! Such a young country.
To say that Doris doesn't want to wear her inflatable ring would be an undertatement! The poor girl is fine, but has been recovering from having a couple of fatty lumps removed at the vets.
Yellow River Station (China), Ny-Ålesund ("New Ålesund"), Svalbard, Norway. Norway wants the Chinese to remove the stone lions and the plaque since their presence is viewed as a violation of the 1920 Svalbard Treaty which recognizes the sovereignty of Norway governing Svalbard, Norway does not recognize this as a "Research Station" but as an office.

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...
i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
This is a small public park in Bexley (UK) that I haven't visited for 30 years - it's the same bridge in an earlier B&W photostream shot - the most striking thing is how the water has been cleaned up - it used to be opaque and muddy (but not mud if you know what I mean) now crystal clear. The excess of nitrates have been removed it would seem since the water is no longer choked with weed. Anyway its much prettier now. three shot HDR (+2 0 -2)
As we look through the windows of our eyes, if we remove the filters that have been built up since we were baby's, we find that there is a lot more beauty and love out there than we though possible!

Removed branch from above its head in photoshop. Maybe I will like photoshop after I learn how to use it.
The covered bridge was built in 1862 by a certain David I Wood, who used to charge teamsters to travel across the bridge. The bridge was built using wood from Mr. Woods's lumber mill in Sierra County, California. There is a plaque on the northern side of the bridge that commemorates this.
This bridge was built to replace an 1850 bridge that washed away in a storm. At 251 feet (229 feet after the end walls were removed) it is thought to be the longest single-span covered bridge in the United States. As with all such bridges, the cover serves mainly to keep the rain off the load-bearing structure, which would otherwise soon rot from the moisture. Some said covers also made the bridge look like a barn so horses wouldn't be frightened to cross, but this was not universally accepted by teamsters of the day.
This road in the late 1800s was part of the Virginia Turnpike, a link between Marysville and the Comstock Lode silver mines in Virginia City, Nevada. Wagon teams, horsemen, buggies and livestock were charged a toll to cross the bridge. The Turnpike ran 14 miles from Anthony House (submerged under Lake Wildwood) to North San Juan.
The main visitor center to the South Yuba River State Park lies just to the south of the bridge.
A view of the jetty at Kianinny Bay. A popular boat launch place and also for swimming. A few swimmers this day and despite summer, the water was quite cold. A long exposure so they were not captured in the photo! Some damage noticeable with the black pylons as this area has had big seas and waves can rage over the jetty. I noticed some pylons had been removed, despite having been well set in concrete. Located at Tathra on the Far South Coast NSW.
Not long after daybreak at Junction City, Kentucky on November 19, 2011, the southward signals at the double crossover display “all red.” The crossing of the L&N’s Lebanon Branch (from which the community got its name) had been removed years earlier when the middle section of the “LB” was abandoned. For the moment, this spot on the CNO&TP is quiet, but as the day moves along, freight tonnage into the hundreds of thousands will clatter over the switch points and frogs of the four turnouts. This route seldom sleeps very long.
The signals dictating train movements on this morning were still General Railway Signal Company’s model “SC” searchlight models that replaced the much older semaphores from the steam era. The always frugal and innovative Southern built the signal bridges from repurposed freight car center sills. The slots through which the fulcrums and other appurtenances of the brake rigging system passed were still obvious.
Alas, these classic signals were not compatible with the coming of positive train control, so in 2010, the slow process of replacing them with “modern” tri-light signals began. They’re all gone today.
Shot from a kayak on the Charles River. I came upon a swan family. They were preening and would periodically thrash around in the water, probably to remove loose feathers.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke%27s_Dock
Duke's Dock[3][4] is a dock on the River Mersey, England, and part of the Port of Liverpool. It is in the southern dock system, connected to Salthouse Dock and Wapping Dock to the east. The Albert Dock is located immediately north, although not directly accessible by water.
History
The land for the dock was obtained in 1768.[5] Opening in 1773, Duke's Dock was built privately for the Duke of Bridgewater as a Liverpool-based facility for traffic using the Bridgewater Canal from Manchester.[6][7] The dock was probably designed by James Brindley, who also built the Bridgewater Canal.[2] The first dockside warehouse on the Mersey was built at the dock in 1783, and the dock was extended in the 1790s due to growth in the cotton industry.[2] In 1811, a large six-storey warehouse was built on the southern side of the dock.[5] Barges were able to enter the warehouse from the dock, and the building lasted until the 1960s.[5] In 1845, a small half-tide dock was constructed between Duke's Dock and the river and, at the opposite end of the dock, Wapping Basin was added in 1855.[5] The dock was purchased by the MD&HB in 1900, and the warehouses remained until 1960.[2] The dock had a southern branch which was filled in 1967, and warehouses were removed from the north and south quaysides.[5] The dock closed in 1972.[2]
After closure
After the closure of Duke's Dock, the dock silted up during the following decade and the quayside was in a state of considerable dereliction by 1980.[5] In 1980, disused buildings including one of the Liverpool Lighterage Company, a training school and a customs house still remained on the north quayside.[5]
Water balling at Duke's Dock. The Albert Dock warehouses are to the left, with Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral beyond the footbridge in the background.
In 1981, the Merseyside Development Corporation was established to rejuvenate the South Docks, and the dock was dredged between 1981-5.[8] The river entrance was filled in during the 1980s, and replaced with a permanent roadway leading to a large temporary car park on the site of King's Dock.[citation needed] Footbridges across the dock, leading from the King's Dock car park to the rejuvenated Albert Dock, were also installed at this time. The remaining buildings on the north quayside were also removed, to create permanent car parking space for the Albert Dock.[citation needed]
Present use
Direct river access to the west is no longer provided, with the only remains of the river entrance being markings on the dock wall. The dock is still accessible from Wapping Basin.
The water depth varies from around 6 ft (1.8 m) up to 20 ft (6.1 m). The dock is sometimes used by sport scuba divers. Its water is clear and it has much underwater sealife.[citation needed] The waterspace, of this and the other docks in the southern system, was owned by British Waterways from 2003 to 2012 and now transferred to the Canal & River Trust.[1] Water balling is now allowed on the dock.

Cette photo est telle que je l'ai prise. J'ai simplement profité d'une percée de soleil à travers l'ombre d'un gros pin sur une haie de cèdres. J'avais pris soin d'enlever la neige accumulée. Cela m'a donné un arrière-plan très sombre. J'aime particulièrement ce genre d'arrière-plan. J'essaie toujours de composer avec la nature environnante, et quand cela me le permet, je privilégie toujours une scène de ce type.
Un petit clin d'œil à François Poitras qui affectionne aussi un arrière-plan très sombre.
-----------------------------------------
This picture is such that I took it. I simply took advantage of a breakthrough of sunshine through the shadow of a large pine tree on a hedge of cedars. I had taken care to remove the accumulated snow. That gave me a very dark background. I really like this kind of background. I always try to use a composition with the surrounding nature, and when it allows me, I always favor a scene of this type.

久違的樹林台汽廢墟場。
因為那一帶不好停車所以很久沒過去取景了，
但聽娃友說那邊旁邊在興建新工程開了個新的出入口，
可以讓車直接開進去，
所以就跑了一趟這久違的點。
就這次的拍攝成果個人是比上次滿意，
但總覺得還是比理想中的感覺少了些什麼…
反正現在那邊停車方便了，
只要感覺來了可以隨時衝去拍～
We only had a short time in Merzouga before heading off again, and that allowed me just an hour to walk a short distance into the desert for pictures.
The desert here was far from pristine, with plastic bottles, pipes and wires, camel droppings, water towers and all manner of other man-made stuff scattered about. As such, these images include a small amount of cloning to remove the worst of the debris.
The Atlantic Ocean Road or the Atlantic Road (Norwegian: Atlanterhavsveien) is an 8.3-kilometer (5.2 mi) long section of County Road 64 that runs through an archipelago in Eide and Averøy in Møre og Romsdal, Norway. It passes by Hustadvika, an unsheltered part of the Norwegian Sea, connecting the island of Averøy with the mainland and Romsdalshalvøya peninsula. It runs between the villages of Kårvåg on Averøy and Vevang in Eida. It is built on several small islands and skerries, which are connected by several causeways, viaducts and eight bridges—the most prominent being Storseisundet Bridge.
The route was originally proposed as a railway line in the early 20th century, but this was abandoned. Serious planning of the road started in the 1970s, and construction started on 1 August 1983. During construction the area was hit by 12 European windstorms. The road was opened on 7 July 1989, having cost 122 million Norwegian krone (NOK), of which 25 percent was financed with tolls and the rest from public grants. Collection of tolls was scheduled to run for 15 years, but by June 1999 the road was paid off and the toll removed. The road is preserved as a cultural heritage site and is classified as a National Tourist Route. It is a popular site to film automotive commercials, has been declared the world's best road trip,[1] and been awarded the title as "Norwegian Construction of the Century". In 2009, the Atlantic Ocean Tunnel opened from Averøy to Kristiansund; together they form a second fixed link between Kristiansund and Molde.
Route description
For ways to remove all the bad that we do
From the heart and the soul of the city side and cold
For ways to collect what we say and what we save
To discard and discover a brand new way
I know you feel it too
These words get overused
When we get up and over it and over them
Up and over it and over them
I know this may seem very unrealistic, but yes Megan and I stood in the middle of a highway during rush hour. We are both very daring, I don't know if it's a good thing. Haha
That parking spot from yesterday wasn't good. I had to remove the X-wing early this morning before traffic pours in. Took a photo before liftoff though.
