Late at twilight on a smoky hazy evening, forest fires South of here near the Oregon Coast. The path to the beach is visible as is the bronze tree that commemorates the Lewis and Clark expedition reaching Long Beach.
Just the day after one of those busy weekend at work we decided to head East for some cod action . The venue close to Dunbar looked perfect and with this amazing weather in store we were ready to go . Early bell and filling up the car , roof bars ready , Kayak on top .The gears are easy sorted and go into two big washing basket .The list go on , paddle , kayak seat , wet suit , foam floatation device , big sponge , zip bag for the fish , cool box , 2 rods , one fly rod and one short spinning rod , knife , forceps , sandwiches , drogue . drink bottle and then 2 boxes of terminal tackle including , rigs , soft lures , feathers and weights . The drive east early morning is fine , long straight road with plenty commuters heading to work . The sun's appear in the far distance and the wind mill are turning slow ,this is going to be a great day .70 miles or so later and finally the empty beach awaiting for us . I look into the horizon and the sea looks like a millpond with 2 dots 1/2 mile away , my friends are already . I set up the gears and fill up the kayak bits by bits just like a ritual . 5 minutes pass and Tam just arrive , he unload is craft and set up too . We drag our kayak onto the grass and then the sandy beach , the tide is high luckily saving us a long walk . I slowly sit down on the kayak and the light westerly breeze push me out to sea . I admire the crystal clear water and look down , there is little trail of sea snail engraved into the sand . The kelp bottom just looks like an under water forest with very small fish swimming around . Tam and myself paddle right out in the mile zone , the coastal light house is there with all the reflection , the majestic Bassrock with 80 000 gannets flying around in the far distance . This is a great morning , flat as you wanted to be . I drop a little silvery wedge deep down and slowly jerk it foot from the bottom , and the very first small cod pops around . And again , 40 foot of water below small codling are taking the silver lure . The next fish is a scorpion fish , one of those ugly fish with massive spines and huge mouths . Small one though but beautiful brownish marking . I take a quick photo and send him back to the deep . By that time we caught up with Bill . Bill is the veteran kayak anglers ,Very smart ,very fit and witty . His technique for the day is baited feathers and he is having a ling day . Ling after ling and mostly ling are taking his sea food cocktail . 8 in total , nothing really in size but still good sport .The days goes on and although it is nearly October it feels like summer . I talk to Bill as we fish close by and looking far out to sea and tell him , it's got to be a 10 pounder around here . After 6 hours drifting around and paddling Bill decide to head home and same to me , I was ready to call it a day , My rod went stiff once again and had fish on . A heavy leaded soft lure at the bottom and a lighter one just above did the trick . Straight away I knew the fish was good as it was taking line and more line , I took it easy making sure I was well connected giving nothing away . The fish came up to the surface and I grabbed it .With a small video of the fight in-store and a good cod on the soft fox lure and a couple of picture we finally headed home . Most fish are released and some are kept ,this one was a keeper . I put the fish in the cool box and headed home , my heart still pounding with a small grin on my face . I gutted the fish and weighted it .3.3 kg . I filleted it just like a fish monger and saved it in the freezer for the days to come ..Just add chips ..tight line all .Nicolas

Another Lost World pic, this time with customs of Breaker and Joe Colton.
The lizards in the back are dollar store dinos, the orange makes them stand out nicely in the pics.
This setting is my way of bringing the '70s Adventure Team feel into ARAH.
I don't know why, but I found the pounding surf on Anmyeondo this past winter to be extremely fascinating, not to mention dramatic.

Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Battersea, an inner-city district of South West London. It comprises two individual power stations, built in two stages in the form of a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s, with Battersea B Power Station to its east in the 1950s. The two stations were built to an identical design, providing the well known four-chimney layout.
The station ceased generating electricity in 1983, but over the past 50 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in London and is Grade II* listed. The station's celebrity owes much to numerous cultural appearances, which include a shot in The Beatles' 1965 movie Help!, appearing in the video for the 1982 hit single "Another Thing Comin´" by heavy metal band Judas Priest and being used in the cover art of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals, as well as a cameo appearance in Take That's music video "The Flood."
In addition, a photograph of the plant's control room was used as cover art on Hawkwind's 1977 album Quark, Strangeness and Charm.
The station is the largest brick building in Europe and is notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. However, the building's condition has been described as "very bad" by English Heritage and is included in its Buildings at Risk Register. In 2004, while the redevelopment project was stalled, and the building remained derelict, the site was listed on the 2004 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund. The combination of an existing debt burden of some £750 million, the need to make a £200 million contribution to a proposed extension to the London Underground, requirements to fund conservation of the derelict power station shell and the presence of a waste transfer station and cement plant on the river frontage make a commercial development of the site a significant challenge. In December 2011, the latest plans to develop the site collapsed with the debt called in by the creditors. In February 2012, the site was placed on sale on the open property market
through commercial estate agent Knight Frank. It has received interest from a variety of overseas consortia, most seeking to demolish or part-demolish the structure.
Built in the early 1930s, this iconic structure, with its four distinctive chimneys, was created to meet the energy demands of the new age. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott – the man who also designed what is now Tate Modern and brought the red telephone box to London – was hired by the London Power Company to create this first of a new generation of ‘superstations’, with the building beginning to produce power for the capital in 1933.
With dimensions of 160 m x 170 m, the roof of the boiler house 50 m tall, and its four 103 m tall, tapering chimneys, it is a truly massive structure. The building in fact comprised two stations – Battersea ‘A’ and Battersea ‘B’, which were conjoined when the identical B section was completed in the 1950s, and it was the world’s most thermally efficient building when it opened.
But Battersea Power Station was – and is – so much more besides. Gilbert Scott lifted it from the prosaic into the sublime by incorporating lavish touches such as the building’s majestic bronze doors and impressive wrought-iron staircase leading to the art deco control room. Here, amongst the controls which are still in situ today, those in charge of London’s electricity supply could enjoy the marble-lined walls and polished parquet flooring. Down in the turbine hall below, meanwhile, the station’s giant walls of polished marble would later prompt observers to liken the building to a Greek temple devoted to energy.
Over the course of its life, Battersea Power Station has been instilled in the public consciousness, not least when Pink Floyd famously adopted it for its Animals album cover and launch in 1977. As a result of its popularity, a great deal of energy has been expended in protecting this landmark.
Following the decommissioning of the ‘A’ station in 1975, the whole structure was listed at Grade II in 1980 before, in 1983, the B station was also closed. Since that time, and following the listing being upgraded to a Grade II* status in 2007, Battersea Power Station has become almost as famous for plans heralding its future as for its past. Until now, that is.
The transformation of Battersea Power Station – this familiar and much-loved silhouette on the London skyline – is set to arrive, along with the regeneration and revitalisation of this forgotten corner of central London. History is about to be made once more.
