Pilgrim's Haven on the Isle of May is a pupping beach for the Grey Seals and in a so' wester is very exposed. The seals seem to cope with it.
The Glen Alden Coal Company’s Huber anthracite breaker stands silent in this 1983 view. The breaker, which separated the hard coal from rock, and then sorted it for loading in railroad hoppers, processed Glen Alden’s Blue Coal brand. The huge facility, which could process 7000 tons of coal per day, was served by the Jersey Central, and was abandoned in 1976. Efforts to save the structure, located near the base of CNJ's Ashley planes in Ashley, Pennsylvania, ended in 2014, when it was demolished.
The Breakers
.
Last month a spent a few days in Newport, Rhode Island and visited two of the mansions built during the Gilded Age. Here are six outside shots from the first one we toured.
"Built for Cornelius Vanderbilt II, The Breakers (1893-1895), is the grandest of Newport's summer “cottages” and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial preeminence in turn-of-the-century America. In 1893, Mr. Vanderbilt and his wife Alice commissioned Richard Morris Hunt to design a house that would replace one on the same property that was destroyed by a fire in November of 1892."

Sir Lancelot was the prototype of a class of six landing ships ordered by the Ministry of Transport for use by the Army. They were initially chartered to and operated by shipping companies, but were taken over by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary in 1980. They can carry, and operate, helicopters, sixteen main battle tanks, thirty-four mixed vehicles and up to 534 troops; they can also lay out pontoons. They were designed to mercantile specifications, to operate virtually as roll-on/roll-off ferries in support of the Army, and were never intended to take part in opposed landings - hence the generally lightweight construction and aluminium superstructure.
In December 1961 the following announcement was made:
War Office Military Supply Ship: “A 6000t ocean-going twin screw military supply vessel has been ordered by the MOT from the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Co Ltd at Govan, who are to develop the final specifications of the ship, which is expected to cost about £1 million. Building will start around February 1962 and the ship is expected to be in service late in 1963 or early in 1964. The design calls for a fast troop and vehicle carrier capable of discharging onto beaches. She will have bow and stern loading facilities for tanks and military vehicles, ramp loading hatches, cargo handling cranes and provision for carrying and launching pontoons. A helicopter will be carried aft, and on completion she will have a Merchant Navy crew and will be managed by the British India Steam Navigation Co Ltd.”
In March 1963 it was announced that tenders were to be invited for a further two vessels at a cost of £2 million each and all three would then replace thirteen former Tank Landing Ships and would be part of an eventual Class of five or six ships, all of which would be named after Knights of the Round Table. The final three vessels were ordered in April 1965, and in December 1968 it was announced that as from January 1970, the management of these six vessels, as well as that of one ex-LST, would be transferred to the RFA
PORKERI.
Porkeri is a village in the Faroe Islands, situated north of Vágur on Suðuroy's east coast. As of 2004 it had a population of 332. It is located at61°28′59″N 6°44′36″W / 61.48306°N 6.74333°W / 61.48306; -6.74333.
Porkeri has been inhabited at least as early as the 14th century.
The wooden church is from 1847 and contains things donated by seamen who survived lethal storms on the sea, maintaining the tradition of almissu (seamen in danger promised - according to Nordic tradition - to donate churches, the material or such to God if they got back home alive).
In 1984 a new school was built in the village. It is built in a modern Faroese style and has grass on the roof. The old school in Porkeri was built in 1888. It was used as such for 96 years. It is now owned by "Porkeris Bygdasavn" which is a museum. The village also has a church, Porkeri Church with a graveyard.
Tradition says that once in the old days a dispute of field boundaries between Porkeri and the neighbouring village Hov was sorted out by a walking-race between one man from each village.

My Mother, who is a professional Watercolor artist, has always said that large areas of water will reflect the colors of the sky. Movement of the water will, apparently, disrupt the effect.
When the breakers start to curl, you can sometimes capture the color of the water itself. Depending on where the light is, you can even show its translucent nature.
I got this shot using the both the "moving subjects" mode, and the camera's built-in feature of adjusting for a cloudy day.

We had big waves last weekend, so I tried panning them for the first time. I was very pleased with the results - did you know, every wave is different? :)
BIGGER option.
