In the 1980s, my father, Ian, and I undertook some sailings with Reg Lindop of Ellesmere Port (in Cheshire). He had built his own cabin cruiser, the TENACITY, and later converted her from diesel to steam, to get a more authentic feel for canal travel. In that guise she can be seen here about to enter the water at Preston Brook Marina in Runcorn (also Cheshire). Reg, who can be seen in the picture is, sadly, no longer with us. Dad was also taken from us, only a short while ago (26th April 2020). This photo, taken by my father, reminds me of some happy times and wonderful experiences; on this occasion, as we took TENACITY to Manchester on the Bridgewater Canal, and then she sailed back to Ellesmere Port via the Manchester Ship Canal.

Jan 26th was a small wave day at Lyall Bay so I amused myself by shooting silhouettes of surfer postures against the late day.
I admired the tenacity shown here as he hung on grimly and gently bailed himself out 5 seconds or so later.

With summer gone, a Jerusalem Artichoke grows out of and against the eroding concrete of a long-abandoned army gun turret. The Native Americans once cultivated these plants for their tubers, which are something like potatoes with a nut-like flavor.
More from Iguazu.
We're back in the states now - it is *so* great to be home. The trip was great, but more of an adventure than I bargained for.
I got heat stroke on a 4-hour trek along the beach in Pinamar, then developed sinusitis and bronchitis in Iguazu. I ended up in a Buenos Aires hospital bed at 3 in the morning this Wednesday past. After two bags of IV fluid, I got a prescription and went back to the hotel to start a regimen of antibiotics and ibuprofen.
(Socialized medicine, btw, is fantastic.)
Anyway, I have a plethora of RAW files and many rolls of film to develop, so I'll start posting stuff with little stories here and there.
I'm sorry I couldn't do more of a "live feed", but internet access was difficult, then I got sick and, well, you know the rest...
Mangrove trees with long, twisted roots have evolved to withstand the relentless tugging of the tides and crashing of the waves and its sprawling root system is the front-line defense against erosion by the tides and the waves. The tenacity of the mangrove trees is admirable, holding fast in the salt water, and surviving the extremities of being swamped by the sea water and then when the tide rolls back standing free.
Mid day waiting for the boat to arrive at the jetty on Neil Island, I see some mangrove trees by the beach and with the tide slowly rising and the waves lapping the shore, making for a lovely sight. Took a frame to indicate their fortitude, standing tall in the incoming sea. While the BW rendition I made of this frame had a near IR feel to it, I decided to first post the coloured frame for the loved the hues so much.

Growing in a drain in the middle of a huge supermarket car park. 400 million years and still thriving even in the most unlikely places.

Nikon FE with Vivitar 17-28 lens and Kodak Ektar 100 film. Riis Park has gradually been renovated and where possible, the original design is carried forward. In the case of these railings, no nails or screws are used as one plank is attached to another. Each plank is notched and when matched together holes are side-drilled for wooden pegs to be hammered in - then the pegs are cut off and finished. Elegant . . but can it survive the current tendency of people to . . . what is the word I am looking for? You can guess. Atlantic Ocean in the far distance.
A very windy end of day - really pushing me around. I could not believe plants would take hold in the joint of this railing. Opened the aperture as wide as possible to get the fastest speed.

Summit of Mt. Goddard, 13,568', with sky pilot, Polemonium eximium, Kings Canyon N.P. The south fork of the San Joaquin River cuts through diagonally from the left. Hell for Sure Pass crosses the divide at Red Mountain, upper left.
Yeah, even a weed in the rocks can be eloquent. When I got to the top of the mountain, this sight just choked me up.
This used to be a nice playground, with four swings, a seesaw, and a slide. There was a jungle gym back behind the swings. You could have a picnic in the little shelter to the left and grill some burgers and wurst on the grill. Not any more.
This area is better than it used to be: There were no swings for a time, and there's now a little slide off to the right.
This is the start of A Walk Around Lockland, a look at the town where I grew up, and a little bit about its history.
