Sorry, this is not a new shot, haven't had much chance to get out and about.. going through the archives...
Actually this is a bit soft on the rocks due to a wave coming up and moving the bloody tripod. Anycheese, i kinda like the mood... it was taken on one of those days where it seems every bugger is in a couple all loved up, even the rocks! ....I'm the pebble in the dark corner of this one, snarling at all the lovey-dovey rocks nearby (best see it large, and do listen to this track)...
Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday by the way... enjoy the weekend!!
I was trying to capture the feel of spring breakup on the Winnipeg River. I think this is probably my best effort.
On a glorious sunny day the Yukon River in Whitehorse, Yukon is breaking out of winter's grip, leaving these huge chunks of ice and snow in the shallows.

Flooding is a major concern for communities along the coast of James Bay. This photo was taken in the early 1980's and doesn't really show the huge chunks of ice that sound loud when they break apart and sometimes jam up as they move along the river to the Bay.

Though fragile comet nuclei have been seen falling apart as they near the Sun, nothing like the slow breakup of an asteroid has ever before been observed in the asteroid belt. A series of Hubble Space Telescope images shows that the fragments are drifting away from each other at a leisurely one mile per hour. This makes it unlikely that the asteroid is disintegrating because of a collision with another asteroid. A plausible explanation is that the asteroid is crumbling due to a subtle effect of sunlight. This causes the rotation rate to slowly increase until centrifugal force pulls the asteroid apart. The asteroid's remnant debris, weighing in at 200,000 tons, will in the future provide a rich source of meteoroids.

Here we often speak of "Breakup" more than "Spring." Breakup referring to when the ice breaks up and moves out from the rivers. On the Tanana River by Fairbanks the ice went out last week and the river is now free-flowing, but there are still large chunks of ice present and melting along the banks.
The Tanana River is the major tributary of the mighty Yukon River, where breakup is still occurring and this year wreaking havoc on villages and residents.
Sea ice breakup in Tethis Bay at Mario Zucchelli Station, Antarctica. This ice was our runway for the beginning of the season.
We have zoomed up into the forties after enduring weeks and weeks of sub-zero temperatures. The snow is turning to mush - people are taking off their parkas, and either going around in shirt sleeves, or sweatshirts.
Doc and I drove into Glennallen this morning and saw huge puddles forming everywhere. On the way back home, a big black cloud opened up and actually rained on us.
Caribou have been spotted gathering in small herds and heading north to the birthing grounds.
Now I will finally concede, that spring has arrived in Alaska.
Cranes at the Lahore Wildlife Park...
Seem to be troubled by domestic issues! ;-)
No editing people, the dirty water compliments the image!
here is the rainbow touching down on the island. I paddled over to the island in the summer but I couldn't find the pot of gold ;-(
But, what an amazing rainbow...it was so wide and so intense .... sky was very dark on one side, light on the other and then it turned pinky with the setting sun...it was awe inspiring ....and look at the shards of ice in the foreground.

"Karlovy Vary (German: Karlsbad) is a regional and statutory city in the Karlovy Vary district in western Bohemia, in the Karlovy Vary region, 110 km west of Prague at the confluence of the Ohře and Teplá rivers. Approximately 49 thousand inhabitants live here. Among other things, the glass and food industries are developed here. It is the most visited Czech spa town. As of 2021, it is on the UNESCO World Heritage List under the Famous Spa Cities of Europe. The city is a member of the Euregio Egrensis Regional Association of Municipalities and Cities and the Water Management Association of Municipalities of Western Bohemia.
The place where the center of Karlovy Vary was established remained for a long time outside the interest of the population. Steep slopes and unsuitable climatic conditions near the thermal springs did not provide suitable conditions for growing crops, which were crucial for settlement. The first settlements were more likely to be located in today's peripheral parts of the city.
The exact date of the city's founding is unknown. The permanent settlement around Vřídl was established in the middle of the 14th century. In 1370, it was granted to the city by Charles IV. privileges of the royal city. The legend of the founding of Karlovy Vary, recorded in 1571 by Dr. Fabian Summer, says that a hunting dog began to maul a piece of wild game during an expedition in the woods, falling into a pool of gushing hot water. The moaning of the dog summoned the other members of the expedition, who subsequently tasted the hot water. Charles IV was also informed about the find, who went to the place of the spring. Together with the doctors present, he stated that this hot water has healing effects, which he subsequently tried himself and experienced improvement. He then founded a spa called Teplé lázně u Lokte on the site of the alleged spring.
At first, the town had only a few inhabitants, whose most important role was to take care of the springs. Karlovy Vary initially developed at a slow pace. The Hussite wars did not affect the city in any way, because it was not understood as strategically important. The city slowly began to grow rich from the gradually developing spa industry. But the growth was hampered by several misfortunes that hit the city. A flood swept through the town in 1582 and a devastating fire in 1604, which destroyed 99 houses out of 102. The subsequent rapid growth was interrupted by the Thirty Years' War, which reduced the number of inhabitants and also the number of spa guests. The end of the 17th century starts a new growth in the city. Important European personalities begin to visit Karlovy Vary. The city began to expand with new buildings (e.g. the theater or the Saxon and Bohemian Hall, which became the basis for the Grandhotel Pupp etc.). In 1759, the city was again destroyed by flames. However, thanks to its fame, the city recovered relatively quickly from the fire. The Napoleonic wars rather benefited the city in a way. Thanks to their sufficient distance from the battlefields, they attracted visitors to the famous spa towns of Western Europe. Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer, who designed 20 important buildings in the city, are largely responsible for the architectural transformation towards Art Nouveau at the end of the 19th century. In the years 1870–1871, the city was connected to Cheb and Prague by means of a railway, which was later followed by regional connections.
The development of the city was disrupted by the First World War, after which it was not possible to continue such extensive growth. The city became the center of important events with the rise of Nazism. Local bookseller KH Frank became the leader of the Karlovy Vary Sudeten German Party, later the second most powerful man in the party. On April 24, 1938, Konrad Henlein presented the so-called eight Karlovy Vary demands, heralding the breakup of Czechoslovakia, in the city. In October of the same year, Karlovy Vary became part of the Third Reich. At the end of World War II, the city (especially the local part of Rybáre) was affected by bombing. The end of the war was also accompanied by the forced displacement of the original German population. During the era of socialism, several important buildings were built in the city center, such as the Vřídelní colonnade, the Thermal hotel, etc. The period after 1989 is characterized by the entry of Russian capital, which also affects the appearance of the city (e.g. by disrupting the historical character of the city with building plans). According to research by Russian activist Mikhail Maglov, who looked at property conditions through an analysis of the local real estate cadastre, "up to half" of local real estate is owned by citizens of the Russian Federation and other countries of the former Soviet Union.
Bohemia (Latin Bohemia, German Böhmen, Polish Czechy) is a region in the west of the Czech Republic. Previously, as a kingdom, they were the center of the Czech Crown. The root of the word Czech probably corresponds to the meaning of man. The Latin equivalent of Bohemia, originally Boiohaemum (literally "land of Battles"), which over time also influenced the names in other languages, is derived from the Celtic tribe of the Boios, who lived in this area from the 4th to the 1st century BC Bohemia on it borders Germany in the west, Austria in the south, Moravia in the east and Poland in the north. Geographically, they are bounded from the north, west and south by a chain of mountains, the highest of which are the Krkonoše Mountains, in which the highest mountain of Bohemia, Sněžka, is also located. The most important rivers are the Elbe and the Vltava, with the fertile Polabean Plain extending around the Elbe. The capital and largest city of Bohemia is Prague, other important cities include, for example, Pilsen, Karlovy Vary, Kladno, Ústí nad Labem, Liberec, Hradec Králové, Pardubice and České Budějovice, Jihlava also lies partly on the historical territory of Bohemia." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

When the year drew towards the end and closed with Christmas I started dating someone. We even lasted for the magical seven weeks. It ended this January. I made an island in Second Life with a grave on it. There our relation lies buried cried over by my blue stick man.
Perdu is French for hidden or lost. She lived in France.
More of the glacial looking ice formations on Willow Island from the spring break-up of Lake Winnipeg. The colour mesmerizes me and of all the ice forms I photographed, this one fascinated me the most.
My title is a reference to the surfing flick by the same name. This would be the northern version. LOL

picture from last spring. Ice was starting to breakup and the lake ice formed wonderful ridges of ice and snow. The clouds rolled in, the sun began to set and it started to lightly rain and soon this amazing rainbow formed that stretched from one tip of the land on the right to the small island on the left. It was truly a wonderful moment.
I've kept these a little vague as I can't be bothered doing an in-depth instruction manual and its good for people to create their own stuff. Hopefully if you're interested you can get some ideas from these scraps.
The buses of Scotland - Stagecoach East Scotland
Stagecoach East Scotland is an operating region of Stagecoach UK Bus, with its regional base in Dunfermline in the Kingdom or Fife, Its legal operations come under "Fife Scottish Buses Ltd" although the company operates under six different brands:
Stagecoach began long distance express coach services in 1981 from its base in Perth, expanding into local bus operation when it bought McLennan Of Spittalfield in 1985. Deregulation of the British bus industry in 1986 gave Stagecoach the opportunity to expand in its home town, thus fierce competition with the dominant operator Strathtay Scottish began, which eventually saw Stagecoach's then Perth Panther subsidiary emerge as the largest provider of bus services in the Perth area, when Strathtay withdrew from Perth. On the breakup and privatisation of the Scottish Bus Group, Stagecoach was successful in acquiring two of the subsidiaries, namely Northern Scottish Omnibuses Ltd (in March 1991) and Fife Scottish Omnibuses Ltd (in July 1991). Allisons Coaches of Dunfermline was purchased in April 2000. Northern Scottish was renamed Bluebird Northern and Stagecoach Fife Scottish became known as Stagecoach in Fife.
In August 2003 the UK's first entirely commercial demand responsive bus service was launched by Stagecoach East Scotland in Fife. Trading as Yellow Taxibus and using the AA Buses Ltd legal name (transferred from Stagecoach West Scotland where it was purchased with the AA Buses operation in Ayrshire) the operation combined the benefits of a fixed bus route with the flexibility of pre-booked taxi pick-ups. Yellow Taxibus operated a fleet of eight-seater spacious, upmarket Mercedes Vito vehicles on a high-frequency service between Dunfermline and Edinburgh seven days a week; however after a two-year trial the loss making service was withdrawn in November 2005.
On 14 December 2005 Stagecoach purchased the largest remaining private bus company, Barnsley-based Traction Group, for £26m. Traction Group owned Strathtay Scottish, which Stagecoach had pushed out of Perth some 16 years earlier. The Strathtay operations bridged the gap between Stagecoach's Fife, Perth and Bluebird operations, giving the group a vast swathe of the country extending from Edinburgh through to Perth, northwards to Aberdeen and round to Inverness, with only Tayside Buses - Currently trading as Xplore Dundee - and First Aberdeen being the major non-Stagecoach operators within that area. Unusually, despite the Strathtay fleet receiving the corporate livery, they were initially branded as Strathtay with ‘Part of the Stagecoach Group’ straplines, rather than Stagecoach Strathtay or Stagecoach in Dundee/Angus, which was a break from the then current corporate practice.
In early 2007, Stagecoach in Perth started one of two Stagecoach Gold services as a trial for Stagecoach Group. They offer newer vehicles to a higher standard and are in a special gold and blue livery, Since the trails the Gold brand has expanded across the UK while the Perth service was upgraded with new Alexander Dennis Enviro350Hs.
In October 2007 The Fife operations so an invested £4.5 million in upgrading the Express Network as "Express City Connect". West Fife to Edinburgh routes received nine new Scania Omnilink Tri-Axle single-deckers with full leather trim and Wi-Fi Internet access. The rest of the Express network received 20 brand new Plaxton Profile Volvo B7R Coaches with full leather trim and Wi-Fi Internet access and were used on X24/X26 and X54 services, (which supplement the Volvo B7R Coaches brought in 2006 for X27 and X59 routes.) In 2011, new Plaxton coaches (with leather seats & Wi-Fi Internet Access) X59 routes were brought to help deal with the increase in passengers, with new stock also appearing in 2012, 2013 and 2016. This has resulted in the brand receiving the accolade of Top Express Operation at the UK Coach Awards (2015, 2016, 2017). Further upgrades included the only Plaxton Panther LEs built so far. including 54517 (YX18LLC) seen here.
In March 2008, it was announced that Stagecoach Fife had bought Rennies of Dunfermline for an undisclosed sum. The Rennies fleet was 60 vehicles, and included 18 double-deckers which were all leased from Stagecoach in Fife. Rennies were formally based at Dunfermline (Wellwood Mill), before moving to Cowdenbeath in 2016. Rennies has become Stagecoach East Scotland’s coach hire business and the company also provides coaches for Scottish Citylink and Megabus,
In Spring 2013 Stagecoach ventured across the Forth and into the South Queensferry area. Unfortunately the company found the routes challenging and by June 2017 the company withdraw from that area, with Lothian Buses taking over.
After the acquisition of Strathtay, it meant that Stagecoach was operating three companies that bordered each other. These were Strathtay Buses (Dundee and Tayside), Stagecoach Scotland (Perth and Perthshire) and Stagecoach in Fife. So in a tidying up measure, all three companies were merged into one enlarged company, which was actually the Fife Scottish licence enlarged. This made it one of the largest Stagecoach companies, with depots at Aberhill, Arbroath (with an outstation at Forfar), Blairgowrie, Cowdenbeath (where Rennies is based) Dunfermline, Glenrothes, Leven, Perth, (with an outstation at Spittalfield) and St Andrews.
