Glencoe in the summer sun...sitting here on the last day of december under unrelenting dismal grey skies this sort of scene can't come soon enough!
One more shot from the Marina, with the bridge still cloaked in rolling fog, but starting to re-appear.
The mini-lighthouse appears older than it actually is, it was built in 1931 but used salvaged stones from an older mansion in San Francisco and much of the wood came from old ships. The Park Commissioner at the time, explained that this lighthouse was built from salvaged materials in an effort to "create a bit of Old World beauty". It was there for 2 years before construction began on the Golden Gate Bridge in 1933, which in turn finished in 1937.
It was built as a fully functional lighthouse to guide boaters in the bay back to the safety of the marina.
Retired for the night, feet up, Heineken in hand. Glanced up at the sound of thunder. Eureka. A roll cloud and a shelf cloud! Last saw one live 15 years ago!

Survival with 30% of Maxilla broken.
Birds can survive a 30% broken maxilla (upper beak) through rapid healing, adaptation to softer foods, and but success depends on the bird's diet (insects/plants better than hard seeds), pain management, dehydration, and infection, as beak function is vital for eating and preening.
I enjoyed rolling around on the ground in the nearby woods earlier this week, photographing the beautiful lesser celandine punching through the leaf litter. I love the pose of this one, stretching up to catch the light filtering through the trees.
The last of the snow fences, rolled back to open a way for a tractor. See the first comment box for another view.

This is inspired by Roll The Bones - Rush.
The only Rush stuff I have ever really liked was from the period when Rupert Hine was producing them. This is a great track from that time.
