On the estuary of the Loire (south shore), a traditional fishery.
Sur l'estuaire de la Loire (rive sud), une pêcherie traditionnelle.
Saint-Brevin
France
Les pêcheries sur pilotis sont des esplanades en bois, souvent agrémentées d'une cabane, permettant la pêche au carrelet. Elles sont accessibles par un ponton ou bien par une échelle. Une perche amarrée à un câble soutient deux cerceaux où se fixe le carrelet, filet qui nécessite un treuil pour être relevé. La plupart des pêcheurs appâtent en vers de terre le fond de leurs mailles, lesté par quelques plombs.
En France, les pêcheries appartiennent à des personnes privées ou à des associations, mais occupent le domaine public maritime. À ce titre, elles font l'objet d'une autorisation d'occupation temporaire, précaire et révocable. S'agissant du domaine public naturel, les dispositions législatives en vigueur (article 2124 du Code général de la propriété des personnes publiques) imposent que les activités pratiquées tiennent compte de la vocation des espaces concernés, incluant notamment la pêche maritime, mais excluant l'hébergement (location de nuitées comme chambre d'hôte par exemple). La pêche au carrelet est essentiellement une activité non professionnelle, un loisir qui se pratique au printemps et à l'automne. Les prises (mulets, athérines appelées éperlans, anguilles ou bars) restent dépendantes des secteurs, des saisons, voire des jours.
Souvent équipées de façon rudimentaire, très régulièrement dépourvues d'eau courante et d'électricité, les pêcheries peuvent être louées pour une partie de pêche le temps d'une marée, sans hébergement, sous réserve du respect de prescriptions techniques relatives aux établissements accueillant du public et dans des conditions qui ne soient pas assimilables à une exploitation commerciale.
Le bassin d'Arcachon accueille des cabanes tchanquées, accessibles par bateau ou à marée basse. Plus au nord, les pêcheries occupent l'estuaire de la Gironde et de la Charente, le littoral de la Charente-Maritime, de la Vendée et de la Loire-Atlantique, ainsi que l'estuaire de la Loire. Une quarantaine de pêcheries sont construites le long de la rive sud de cet estuaire, de Saint-Brevin-les-Pins à Corsept. Elles sont accessibles par des passerelles horizontales dont les plus longues font jusqu'à 120 mètres. Essentiellement constituées de perches en bois de châtaignier, les ossatures sont enfoncées dans la vase à plus d'un mètre par endroits. Des ancrages au sol sont nécessaires pour supporter la cabane, souvent constitués de bidons enfoncés dans la vase à marée basse et évidés avant d'être remplis de gravats ou de béton.

I boldly took this shot from a moving ferry as it approached the Passenger Terminal at Sydney's Circular Quay. Was surprised at what I got considering the the light and movement of the ferry.

Union Terminal in Cincinnati, Ohio has a significant amount of history behind it. Its Art Deco halls have hosted everything from trains, to movie theaters, to a department store. It's now home to several prominent museums on its lower floors. Its interior dome is one of the largest in the world.
I stood all the way in one of the corners of the lobby and took about twenty photos to create this panoramic view including the terminal's concentric ceiling.
Thanks for getting me into Explore! Please see my Best Of album here.
Brooklyn Army Terminal. This former army terminal is being transformed into a modern manufacturing and commercial centre.
I have something of an ongoing love affair with Reagan National Airport's old terminal. If you're lucky enough to fly through, take some time to soak it up because they don't make them like they used to.

Merry Christmas, everyone!
I created several Christmas-themed red and green macro photographs for this week's Macro Mondays challenge but in the end I decided to go with something entirely different. This image is a small red cover of a positive terminal on a car battery that helps run a crazy-fast lime green car. When charging the battery, a matching positive red clamp should grip onto the + red terminal, or else sparks will fly.

The crew of LS2 is making moves around the gas terminal in Avoca. The "yard" at Avoca used to be a lot bigger when the Erie was in town, with a whole roundhouse, employee bunkhouse, and many yard tracks Avoca was a big part of the Erie's Wyoming division. Since the Conrail takeover in 1976 the yard has been downsized to about 3 tracks and two connecting tracks to the interchange with Norfolk Southern and the former interchange with the Reading and Northern. The Luzerne Susquehanna railway owned by RJ Corman currently operates over this small section of the remaining Wyoming division between Avoca and Suscon.

A TRRA yard job is seen working the south end of Madison Yard just outside of Brooklyn, Illinois. In the background, 101 prepares to depart for Lindenwood via the Mac Bridge. The concrete bridge piers in the background were part of the Illinois Terminal's Venice High Line, a mile-long trestle that connected the McKinley Bridge with the IT's yard facilities in East Madison. It was abandoned around the same time as when the IT ended rail service over the McKinley Bridge in 1977.

- Sorbus aucuparia, commonly called rowan and mountain-ash, is a species of deciduous tree or shrub in the rose family.
S. aucuparia has a slender trunk with smooth bark, a loose and roundish crown, and its leaves are pinnate in pairs of leaflets on a central vein with a terminal leaflet.
It blossoms from May to June in dense corymbs of small yellowish white flowers and develops small red pomes as fruit that ripen from August to October and are eaten by many bird species.
- De wilde lijsterbes (Sorbus aucuparia) is een zeer winterharde boom uit de rozenfamilie.
De witte bloemen verschijnen in mei in talrijke schermen van wel 15 centimeter in doorsnee. Ze ruiken erg onaangenaam.
Na de bloei ontstaan de bessen die bij de soort oranjerood zijn. Ze worden naast lijsters ook graag door andere vogels gegeten.
