Alias: Surf
Name: Dylan Cove
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Villain
Team Affiliation: N/A
Backstory: Dylan felt most at home when he's out in the sea, on his board. There's this connection there, more than he truly realized. He would end up joining a class, as he wanted to become a better surfer. It was there he met Chase Atlantic, who would later become a good friend of his. As time went on, Dylan would learn about his connection to the sea, and how he could control it in ways he never thought he could. He uses his abilities mostly as a way to gain popularity, allowing him to do some crazy tricks. He graduated from high school soon after, and was looking for a way to make quick easy money, as he wanted to set up his own surfboard shop. This is where he would end up becoming a criminal. It was during one of his first heists, where he would meet Angus Alexander, who would later be called Turf. They figured it would be better for them to team up, as there's strength in numbers. They aren't the most coordinate bunch though, as their clashing personalities often get in the way of the job, which leads to them getting caught. Dylan also likes to push Angus' buttons with his power, as Angus has a fear of water.
Alias: Turf
Name: Angus Alexander
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Villain
Team Affiliation: N/A
Backstory: While Dylan felt connected to the sea, Angus was more connected to the earth. During his childhood, he lost both of his parents in a boating accident. Due to this, Angus would develop a fear for water. Later, he would learn that it wasn't an accident like it was claimed to be. Full of anger, Angus would search for the ones responsible. It led to him pulling off heists for bad people, so that in return, he would be given information about the people who killed his parents. Him being able to manipulate the earth around him comes in handy while on the job, as it provides offence, as well as defensive capabilities. On one his most recent heists, he came across Dylan. When they decided to team up, they became the famous duo known as Surf n Turf. Well at least in Dylan's mind they were famous. Angus gets annoyed with Dylan's carefree attitude, which leads to conflict between the two. He also doesn't like Dylan's pranks, as it often reminds him of bad memories, which he would rather forget.
Status: The two are still wreaking havoc as part of Natural Disaster.
Sunset at Turf Fen, I seem to end up at Turf Fen or Thurne for sunset, cant wait till my favourite spot at Horsey is re-opened
I was taking a few photos of the mourning dove as the blue jay entered the frame squawking at the dove to drive it away. The dove was startled, puffed up and flew away.
I thought it was interesting bird behavior.
Thanks in advance for taking your time to view my photos and leave comments for favs!

An archive shot, I had previously uploaded this back in 2011, but deleted it. This is a re-worked version. The shot was taken a few miles outside Glencolumbcille, Co Donegal. (The map location is a close guess).

Found an old SD card from 2016 today and developed some of the images. This one was taken in Connemara National parl. Whenever you're in Kerry in autumn you can smell the turf fires. Here's the turf drying out on the open to be burnt later.
Those images were taken with my Fuji X100s. Now that I see the colors of this camera, I almost regret having sold it last year.
An abandoned turf house in southern Iceland, nestled on the south side of the coastal cliffs to avoid the cold northerly winds.
Turf houses have a long tradition in Iceland, a land without many trees but with lots of grass. The house frame is wood, the walls are of turf or turf and stone, and the roof is covered with turf with an underlay of slates. Turf is a wonderfully insulating material that can be replaced every few decades.
The building of turf houses faded out during the 20th century as timber, concrete and other building materials became available. Only a few craftsmen still maintain the tradition.
I've been part of a wonderful group of film shooters from all over the world, the Film Shooters Collective, for about a year now, and I'm delighted to announce our first book has just been published. NSEW, all film images from the various places we call home, including a collection of my little houses.
The sad story behind this one, that's a demolition notice in the front window, and a guy who was parked just off frame, sitting in his truck on the phone got out to question me about what I was doing, friendly, bemused and all business. I'm not a betting woman, but my instincts told me he was in all likelihood the developer.
As the days went on the invasion of the foreigners became more and more apparent.
Kai and Kaze decided to walk the streets to attempt to protect the locals from the wrath and greed that the foreigners were raining down on those less fortunate daily.
As they exited the shop they found exactly what they were looking for. Demon Dodge, Evil Emil and Fleetin' Ethan were all three ready for them.
Quickly they nodded to one another and Kaze took off at a run. He leapt into the air as he was trained to do, his legs taking on the crane formation. His face was determined, angry even. With his youth it was normal for him to be a hothead, but in times like this it wasn't a bad thing. His anger would fuel him.
Kai on the other hand took a protective stance, his eyes hard, cold and calculating. He'd get the two that were left, his sword sliced the air with a speed that was unmatched by his opponents.
Demon Dodge's eyes blazed with determination, his blades at the ready in a stance that was typical to those that were not of this place.
Evil Emil, known to be the most twisted of them, had a look on his face of sheer glee at the blood fray that was about to ensue. It was known that he took delight in others pain and even their deaths.
All that Kai could think is, "they do not belong" as he struck out finally at his enemy. HIs heritage, his training, his composure was second to none of his age, his eyes shone black in the night, colorless during the day. Only this time, they were cold as a black ice running down your spine.
The battle would begin, but where would it end?

The Glaumbær Farm first exhibition was opened in 1952, but the farm had served as a dwelling until 1947. The old turf farmhouse forms the backdrop for exhibitions focusing on rural life in 18th- and 19th-century Iceland. On the museum grounds at Glaumbær, there are also two 19th-century timber houses, Áshús and Gilsstofa. These are good examples of the first timber houses built in the region. Áshús contains exhibitions and the Tea Room Áskaffi, which serves traditional light Icelandic fare. Full meals are available if booked in advance. Gilstofa, at present, contains the Museum´s administrative offices. Together these three buildings are a powerful reminder of 18th- and 19th-century life in rural Iceland.*

Icelandic turf houses (Icelandic: torfbæir) were the product of a difficult climate, offering superior insulation compared to buildings solely made of wood or stone, and the relative difficulty in obtaining other construction materials in sufficient quantities.[1]
30% of Iceland was forested when it was settled, mostly with birch. Oak was the preferred timber for building Norse halls in Scandinavia, but native birch had to serve as the primary framing material on the remote island. However, Iceland did have a large amount of turf that was suitable for construction. Some structures in Norway had turf roofs, so the notion of using this as a building material was not alien to many settlers.**
