I am resilient

I trust the movement

I negate the chaos

uplift the negative

I'll show up at the table

again and again and again

I'll close my mouth and learn to listen

woah woah ooh ooh

these times are poignant

the winds have shifted

it's all we can do

to stay uplifted

pipelines through backyards

wolves howlin out front

yeah, I got my crew but truth is what I want

realigned and on point

power to the peaceful

prayers to the waters

women at the center

all vessels open

to give and receive

let's see the system

brought down to its knees

woah woah ooh ooh

I'm made of thunder

I'm made of lightning

I'm made of dirt yeah

made of the fine things

my father taught me that I'm a speck of dust

and this world was made for me

so let's go and try our luck

I got my roots down, down deep

So what are we doing here?

what has been done?

what are you gonna do about it

when the world comes undone?

my voice feels tiny

and I'm sure so does yours

but put us all together

make a mighty roar

roar

The southern tip of Canada’s Point Pelee National Park is the farthest south one can go on mainland Canada. Most of the park is either marsh or Carolinian forest, but this small tip extending out into Lake Erie is sand. This beach is constantly changing because of winds, lake currents and water levels.

These dramatic sunset clouds signaled a shift from a heat wave to somewhat cooler weather in the San Francisco Bay area.

Saw this and thought it was unusual how the colour was shifting from green to brown!

Capture from this summer late in the evening in the north of Norway. Two vertical landscape shifts stitched in LR and final touches in PS. At least one week for the next upload to Flickr. See you all!

When we got to the sand dunes on the Oregon coast, we rented a dune buggy in North Bend. I didn't even try to do the driving - we rented a double and my husband drove. We hit air once going up over a hill and I was hanging on tight, and I might have even let out a bit of a scream :) But when we were all done, I realized it was actually so much fun! And the beauty was amazing. I couldn't shoot from inside the buggy because of the blowing sand, and only got out a couple of times to capture the beauty of the dunes.

Best viewed large.

Whitsand Bay is situated in South East Cornwall. It runs from Rame Head in the east, to Portwrinkle in the west. It is characterised by sheer, high cliffs and dramatic scenery. At low tide an expanse of sand approaching 4 miles in length, where several smaller coves and beaches join up, is revealed. The South West Coast Path runs the length of the bay.

The beach is fairly exposed and there are often surfable waves. However, it has a reputation for strong rip currents which makes swimming potentially treacherous. The shifting sandbanks and sandbars at Whitsand Bay, are a primary cause of this. The bay tends to develop sandbars particularly around mid-to-low tide. These sandbars create channels where water, pushed in by waves, returns to the sea, forming powerful, narrow rip currents. Dangerous rips can be found particularly around Tregonhawke and Tregantle beaches. RNLI lifeguards patrol designated sections, but not all areas, during summer. At other times there is no cover at all, making it crucial to be aware of the hazards. The area also attracts divers who come to dive the HMS Scylla, an ex-naval frigate sunk in 2004 to create an artificial reef.

Taken on a particularly low tide, this image looks east from Sharrow Point towards Rame Head. The chalets clinging to the cliff are above Freathy and Tregonhawke beaches, and the white coastguards’ cottages, further along, are above Polhawn Cove. The spire of Rame Church can just be seen on the horizon, and the white National Coastguard Institute station sits on Rame Head, just inland from the ancient chapel of St. Michael.

I woke up the morning after the supermoon, and saw that clouds were covering the moon, but moving in the wind. I got the camera set up, and waited for one of the occasional clearings to cross paths with the moon. Got some decent ones of the moon alone, but found the ones with clouds more interesting!

Buried by the shifting sands of winter spring time means the fences are dug up and rolled for next year .

Not of high quality as it’s 15 years old and was taken with an old P&S camera using a long focal length and high zoom, and it has traveled through several storage media. But I still like it and hope you find it interesting.
