What was once an aquarium staple surviving well in the wild. Taken on a walk around the lake at Los Medanos College Pittsburg, CA.
The capstones on this canal bridge are rounded and tied with iron staples. This allowed the tow ropes to pass over the canal bridge, under tension, without dislodging the stones and fraying.
Another new location for me is Great Staple Tor on the west side of Dartmoor, this shot is two exposures ( one for the sky and one for the foreground) blended in Photoshop.
Definitely worth the walk up the hill for the views alone.
These poles are like an architectural record of an urban area. Every staple represents an event--a show, a party, a gathering, a protest, something.

Razorbills are primarily black with a white underside. The male and female are identical in plumage; however, males are generally larger than females. This agile bird, which is capable of both flight and diving, has a predominantly aquatic lifestyle and only comes to land in order to breed.
It is monogamous, choosing one partner for life. Females lay one egg per year. Razorbills nest along coastal cliffs in enclosed or slightly exposed crevices. The parents spend equal amounts of time incubating, and once the chick has hatched, they take turns foraging for their young.
The female and male adults are very much alike, having only small differences such as wing length. It is 37-39 cm in body length, the wing length of adult males ranges from 201–216 mm (7.9–8.5 in) while that of females ranges from 201 to 213 mm (7.9 to 8.4 in).
This image was taken on the Staple Island, one of the Farne Islands, off the coast of Northumberland in the North east of England.
On Friday evening I was left to my own devices so I decided to pop up to Great Staple Tor, hoping that I’d get some nice glimpses sun mixed in with the clouds. Unfortunately most of the sun action seemed to be off in the distance on the other side of Tavistock, but it was still nice to be out in the fresh air after a week in the office!

A shot from a cold afternoon atop Staple Tor on the west of Dartmoor. The side lighting was amazing but, much to my frustration, any cloud in the sky had vanished.
This is the staple view, if you'll pardon the pun, of this tor - hence the title.
I'm pleased that this has passed muster for being "explored" and grateful for any constructive comments but any html comments with embedded images will be deleted. Nothing personal -- they're just damn ugly. Thanks.
