A la mi-octobre, la situation de l’armée belge, qui tente de se maintenir sur le front de l’Yser, est critique. L’état-major va arrêter l’avance allemande en reprenant une tactique utilisée à plusieurs reprises dans la région : l’inondation de la plaine de l’Yser à partir de la "Patte d’oie" à Nieuport.
Située dans l’arrière-port, au début du chenal de l’Yser, et baptisée ainsi du fait de sa forme particulière, la "Patte d’oie" est un complexe d’écluses et de vannes qui régule la gestion de l’eau dans le bassin de l’Yser. Six voies d’eau convergent à cet endroit : trois canaux surélevés et endigués - dont l’Yser canalisé – fermés par des écluses et trois "vaartjes" (collecteurs non canalisés, situés au niveau des terres avoisinantes pour recevoir les eaux de ruissellement et drainer les terres basses des polders) commandés par des barrages et des vannes. La portion de terrain située entre deux canaux forme un wateringue dont le drainage est assuré par un collecteur.
Pour inonder la zone entre l’Yser et le talus de la ligne de chemin de fer Nieuport-Dixmude derrière lequel ils ont pris position, les Belges ont utilisé les écluses et les vannes de la "Patte d’oie" en inversant leur fonctionnement normal. L’histoire a retenu les noms de Karel Cogge, employé de la wateringue de Furnes, et d’Hendrik Geeraert, un batelier de Nieuport : grâce aux indications de l’un et la connaissance du système hydraulique de l’autre, les écluses et vannes sont ouvertes à la marée montantes pour laisser l’eau envahir les polders et fermées à la marée descendante pour empêcher son évacuation. Après une première tentative décevante dans la nuit du 26 au 27 octobre, la seconde, en ouvrant le déversoir du Noordvaart du 29 au 30, permettra de faire pénétrer une énorme quantité d’eau dans l’arrière-pays, ce qui oblige les Allemands à se retirer sur la rive droite de l’Yser.
Début novembre 1914, la bataille de l’Yser est terminée et le front stabilisé jusqu’en septembre 1918 par une zone inondée s’étendant de Nieuport à Dixmude. Entre le talus du chemin de fer et la rive gauche de l’Yser, le terrain est devenu un immense marécage parsemé d’îlots sur lesquels les deux camps ont installés des postes avancés.
Le seul point de contact direct se situe à Dixmude où les lignes ne sont séparées que par l’Yser et où les Allemands parviennent à se maintenir sur la rive gauche du fleuve à hauteur du "Boyau de la mort". Au sud de Dixmude, l’inondation s’étend jusqu’à Steenstraat.
In mid-October, the situation of the Belgian army, which is trying to maintain itself on the Yser front, is critical. The general staff will stop the German advance by resuming a tactic used several times in the region: the flooding of the Yser plain from the "Crow's foot" in Nieuport.
Located in the inner harbor, at the beginning of the Yser channel, and so named because of its particular shape, the "Patte d'oie" is a complex of locks and gates which regulates the management of the water in the Yser basin. Six waterways converge at this point: three raised and dyked canals - including the channeled Yser - closed by locks and three "vaartjes" (unchanneled collectors, located at the level of the neighboring lands to receive runoff and drain. the lowlands of the polders) controlled by dams and sluices. The portion of land located between two canals forms a watering whose drainage is provided by a collector.
To flood the area between the Yser and the embankment of the Nieuport-Dixmude railway line behind which they took up position, the Belgians used the locks and gates of the "Patte d'oie" by reversing their normal operation. . History has retained the names of Karel Cogge, employee of the wateringue de Veurne, and Hendrik Geeraert, a boatman from Nieuwpoort: thanks to the indications of one and the knowledge of the hydraulic system of the other, the locks and Valves are opened to the rising tide to let water flow into the polders and closed to the ebbing tide to prevent its evacuation. After a disappointing first attempt on the night of October 26 to 27, the second, by opening the Noordvaart spillway from 29 to 30, will allow a huge amount of water to penetrate into the hinterland, forcing the Germans to to retire to the right bank of the Yser.
In early November 1914, the Battle of the Yser was over and the front stabilized until September 1918 by a flooded area stretching from Nieuport to Diksmuide. Between the railroad embankment and the left bank of the Yser, the land has become a huge swamp dotted with islets on which the two camps have set up outposts.
The only direct contact point is at Dixmude where the lines are only separated by the Yser and where the Germans manage to maintain their position on the left bank of the river at the height of the "Trench of Death". South of Diksmuide, the flood extends to Steenstraat.

Middleton Oak at Middleton Plantation in South Carolina is believed to be over 900 years old. It used to be much bigger and prettier than this, but you can see the scars on the trunk from where two of its gigantic branches came crashing down in April, 2008. You can't see them very well in this picture but there are actually braces from the ground up to the other low-lying limbs to stabilize them. Poor old thing.

A return to Luke AFB this Spring, to take in their Airshow. I decided to shoot the aerobatics with a vintage manual zoom. Frustrating and difficult without AF and image stabilization. We take them for granted these days. A Tamron SP 60-300mm, 23A was used.
Unfortunate, oiled bird that, by leaving it's resting place on the shore and re-entering the water, missed being rescued. Had it stayed on land for a few more minutes, the nice woman from the SPCA could have caught and brought it to their facility for stabilization and later transfer to a rehab facility in Fairfield.
My new acquisition. A Nikon P600, at full frame equivalent focal length of 1440 mm. Handheld, image stabilized.

It's been twelve years since I posted a photo of the earlier versions of these designs. Happy to see them back together again.
Very sad to advise that on April 17, during the ice and wind storm in Ottawa, I was watching the nest and witnessed a chunk of ice knock the mother unconscious which caused her to fall over 10 meters to the ground. She was severely concussed and is being cared for by Safe Wings Ottawa. If she survives and once stabilized, she will be transported to The Owl Foundation In Niagara. The 2 owlets were rescued later in the evening thanks to a lot of effort by caring people who got involved and a tree climber was able to climb during very difficult conditions. The babies would not have survived the night if we had not been able to find a climber at a time when all the arborists in the region were responding to emergencies. They are doing very well and will also be transported to the Owl Foundation where a foster owl will take over the parenting if the mother does not recover and is unable to care for them. Thank you all for your interest and generous comments regarding this beautiful owl. To follow progress, go to The Owl Foundation's Facebook page.
As of April 20, this owl family was transferred to The Owl Foundation where the mother is making some progress but still in very serious condition. The owlets are doing very well, being cared for by the foster GHO, and could be released in August or September. For progress reports, go to the Owl Foundation’s Facebook page.
The owlets were released in the wild in the same region they were born, in late September 2018. The Owl Foundation tried very hard to rehabilitate the mother owl and while she made some progress, the owl continued to suffer from neurological problems as a result of the skull fracture and severe concussion it sustained from the falling chunk of ice from above the nest. There was evidence of chronic pain and her condition would not improve further. The Foundation staff made the humane decision to euthanize the owl some time in December 2018.

For many years, the Miami-Dade County Courthouse, at an elevation of 360 feet, was reputed to be the tallest building south of Baltimore.
It was the County's first high-rise and is in the National Register of Historic Places. Efforts to refurbish this magnificent structure and restore it to its original grandeur have been underway since 1981 by Architect James W. Piersol, AIA of M.C Harry Associates Architects of Miami.
The restoration and renovations initially stabilized the terra cotta facade, and installed new life safety systems. In 1982, the idea of restoring the lobby to its original distinction was the passion of both Architect James Piersol and engineer Don Youatt, of the Miami-Dade Planning and Development Department. With a little less than half of the funding necessary for the lobby restoration project in hand ($300,000 grant approved by the Legislature in 1996), the Dade County Bar Association acted as the fund-raising umbrella and initiate a drive to raise the remainder needed from lawyers and the general public. A few years later, the same team restored Courtroom 6-1, which had been the site of many infamous trials over the years.
Today, the Miami-Dade County Courthouse provides offices, chambers, and courtrooms for the clerks and judiciary assigned to both the Circuit and County Civil Court and the Family Court.
When county government was established following the Civil War, public records were so sparse they could be carried in a carpetbag and most probably were. Therefore, the "courthouse" was wherever the county's chief office holder decided to do business.
In 1890, Dade County's first courthouse stood in the town of Juno, Florida some ten miles north of West Palm Beach. At that time, Dade County covered more territory than it does today, stretching from Bahia Honda Key, in the middle Keys, up to the St. Lucie River, near present-day Port St. Lucie.
Juno was chosen as the "county seat" because of its strategic location at the southern terminus of the Jupiter-Juno railroad. Juno also held the northern terminus of the boat and connecting stagecoach line to Miami. The courthouse remained in Juno (now no longer in existence) until 1899, when it was moved to Miami down the inland waterway on a barge and was placed on the banks of the Miami River, east of the old Miami Avenue bridge.
The building was two story wooden frame construction, housing offices and jail cells on the ground floor and a courtroom on the second floor.It has a Neoclassical design, in 1904 this building was replaced by a new courthouse building situated on Flagler Street (then known as Twelfth Street). It was a magnificent building constructed of limestone, having an elegant red-domed top, at the cost of $47,000. It was anticipated that this courthouse would serve the city for at least fifty years; however, no one was prepared for the rapid growth Miami experienced during this period, and by 1924, only twenty years later, there was serious talk of the need for a larger courthouse.
In the early 1920s, architect A. Ten Eyck Brown entered a design competition for Atlanta City Hall, which was rejected. He then made the plans available to Dade County, and City and County officials readily approved them. It was decided by the officials to build the new courthouse at the same location as the existing one on Flagler Street. Construction began in 1925, with workers erecting the new building around the existing structure, which was then dismantled. Community leaders and citizens alike voiced excitement over the new 28 story "skyscraper" that would soon dominate the skyline.
Unexpectedly, construction was halted when the building reached ten stories. It was discovered that the "high-rise" was sinking into the spongy ground. Engineers consulted with an architect from Mexico City, whom had encountered a similar problem while building the city's opera house. The consultant determined that the foundation pilings were not set deep enough. To correct the problem, cement supports were poured, which take up much of the space in the building's basement file room even to this day.
The courthouse was finally completed in 1928 at the cost of $4 million (USD 2013 $54.5 million). Initially, it served as both the Dade County Courthouse and the Miami City Hall. Jail cells occupied the top nine floors because these heights offered "maximum security" and were considered escape proof. In 1934, a prisoner housed on the twenty-first floor picked the lock of his jail cell window and used a fire hose to lower himself to freedom. In the years following, more than 70 prisoners escaped from this so-called "secure" prison.

From one clip I got these 4 scenes. I am particularly proud of color balancing. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to comment. Keep in mind that you have not much of freedom since the dynamic range is really awful but hey... at least I had this camera on me, so thumbs up for doing a great job still.
Date taken: April 15,2025.
Until now, uploading videos to Flickr has felt somewhat inadequate to me, as I’ve always seen it more as a platform for still images rather than moving pictures.
Even though I enjoy shooting videos from time to time, I’ve found that most of my time spent with a camera in my hands tends to lean towards photography.
And that’s primarily because I know, in the back of my mind, that if I’m going to post something online, it will likely be on Flickr—and that automatically makes me feel like I need to shoot stills.
But today, as I was walking down to the beach, the strong Jugo wind (a southern wind) was going wild—pounding the shore, kneading the waves, and creating all kinds of acrobacies in the air.
I instantly knew: today, I’ll primarily shoot video.
First and foremost, because I enjoy the process.
Second, because today’s scenes were calm yet dramatic, and simply perfect for video—capturing something stills just can’t.
That’s what my videos will always be about—no exceptions.
Only videos that capture something stills can't.
That’s the purpose of this series and the new album I’m opening.
I’m curious to see where it takes me.
I recently attended a filmography course, and I feel like I know what I’m doing—while being careful not to slip into arrogance or self-importance.
Care about the scenery, composition, and color—these are all things I’m already mindful of when shooting stills.
So why not experiment with moving stills?
It’s just one extra word, isn’t it?
Anyway, hit the lik… fave! or leave a comment if you’ve read all the way to the end... and thank You.
I’ll eliminate sound in most videos, unless it truly needs to be there, and only if I feel like it.
If there is sound, I want it to be perfect—recorded with professional equipment and carefully edited, which I currently don’t plan to buy or do.
Maybe sometime soon, in the days to come.
So just lay back and enjoy.
My goal is to make videos we can all relax with—maybe even have it on repeat, with our own music or ambient sound in the background that suits us the most.
I don’t want to steal your full attention or be invasive on your senses. Just your eyes… because, as I’ve heard, they never lie, do they?
Jokes aside, please enjoy these scenes and try to immerse yourself, as if you’re right there.
That will be imperative #1 from me with these series.
Enjoy in video number 2.

In order to stabilize the reactor, two people need to press their hands onto two different scanners. When I came into the reactor room Pink was already at one of the terminals. I walk over to the other terminal and scan my hand. Now that the reactor has been stabilized, I'm going to go into cams across the hallway. I'm not trusting Pink, so hopefully he doesn't follow me. Also where is Yellow anyway?
We turned to the west to view twilight under clouds after the sunset. Wide lateral placement of the bow paddle limits canoe rocking as the waves pass under. No danger as waves are slow and wide.

With the UN Security Council unable to come to consensus over a proper response to the breakout of the 2nd Eastern European War, (mostly due to blatant Songun support of the aggressor nations), it was apparent that NATO would need to act unilaterally and intervene in the conflict, with the first troops arriving in the Ukraine by December 2016. Although ostensibly neutral with the aim of separating the two warring blocs, NATO's intervention (codenamed CONCERTED DEFENDER) was seen by many as in blatant support of the Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Slovakian forces. By the end of the year, NATO troops has forced a ceasefire, with all parties returning to a status quo antebellum state, albeit one with leftover angst on both sides. With no driving guidance from the UN, NATO forces (spearheaded by the Czechs and British) immediately transitioned into a peacekeeping mission, one that made it abundantly clear through multiple skirmishes with pro-Yugoslav and Black Cross militants that they were not afraid to use force. This force was dubbed the NATO "Stabilization Force in Eastern Europe", or SFOR for short, and included forces from every NATO member nation, with troops from sub-blocs such as ZEUS or the Nordic Defense Council particularly prevalent.
Although the United States' contribution to CONCERTED DEFENDER was relatively limited after the ceasefire (mostly due to high troop commitments in the Middle East and Pacific), an American armored brigade combat team stayed to assist with the mission (and also provide a conveniently positioned armored force in Eastern Europe as well). Integrated multinational units with partner nations were common, such as the above joint American and British armor getting ready to head out on patrol.

Hi-Res 80mp + HDR edit. My Oly has a Hi-Res mode that uses its sensor based image stabilization to create an 80mp raw file in camera. It takes 8 images, shifting the sensor a little each time, then combines them together. Supposedly you also get much better noise and colour performance, as the sensor is capturing more information at the time of recording the image. You need to mount the camera on a tripod on my model, but the newer cameras have a hand-held mode too. [chriseyrewalker.com/the-hi-res-mode-of-the-olympus-om-d-e...]

Although the United Kingdom was dedicated to stabilizing the Al Dabir region, its defense budget was not prepared to handle an extensive, protracted campaign in the Middle East. For this reason, the Ministry of Defence had to get creative in finding ways to lessen procurement and deployment costs with regards to the war effort abroad. After realizing that these objectives could not be met on a solely domestic basis, Britain approached its close continental neighbor, France, with an arrangement that would hopefully decrease spending on both of their ends whilst keeping them more than relevant within NATO and its associated missions. This arrangement--known as the Channel Compact in Britain and the Sleeve Accord in France--stated that the two would de facto merge their defense infrastructures and combine their doctrinal stances with regards to foreign power projection. In this way, the two states would be able to maximize their traditional hard power while also shaving costs considerably.
One of the outcomes of the Compact is the British procurement of the CAESAR 155mm self-propelled gun which had its origins in France. The British naturally had their own domestic artillery systems, but they came in three flavors and two of them posed problems in facing asymmetric enemies in the barren and hostile lands of Al Dabir. To be more precise, the L118 105mm light gun and the L131 155mm self-propelled howitzer (alternatively known as the AS-90) could not adequately keep pace with field requirements. Whilst the L118 was mission-flexible given its compact size and simplicity of operation, it was underpowered and had a setup time that reduced its crew's ability to send rounds down range in a timely fashion. The L131 on the other hand packed enough punch and lacked the setup delay, but was incredibly slow compared to the speeds of other British vehicles in-theatre. Because of these detriments, the MOD required a new artillery system that could keep pace with the rest of the British forces in Al Dabir.
Luckily enough, France had just the solution. The CAESAR 155mm self-propelled gun was built on a 6x6 chassis which offered it enhanced mobility on flat terrain, making it the perfect choice for Al Dabir. An additional perk to being truck-based was the fact that upkeep was cheaper than that of the tracked and mechanically complex AS-90. Plus, sharing the design with another state meant spare parts and repair facilities were easier to come by; this was a huge factor in the CAESAR's adoption by the UK. Atop that, the 52-caliber gun meant it had a longer arm than Britain's other artillery pieces (not counting the GMLRS of course). The gun's operation is also semi-automatic, which reduces to the essential crew size to three men, although five is considered more optimal for endurance reasons. One downside to the CAESAR is that it is only capable of carrying thirty rounds independently; therefore, at least one separate ammunition hauler is typically needed per battery. All-in-all though, the CAESAR was a safe and cheap buy and will likely see a long service life in the British armed forces.

Fitted with stabilizing feet, powerful threshing arms, and a heavy-lift reclamation armature, the Mk.1/D Constructikoma is a demolition and salvaging beast. Designed to operate at ground level on the worksite, this drone picks through the rubble and detritus of a recently destroyed building, smashing things that need smashing, and collecting anything valuable or recyclable, such as wiring, piping, scrap metal, intact coffee mugs, and Pokemon cards.
