Great welcoming action to bolster today's Orca Task for meeting at the Swinimosh Nation near Anacortes! Two giant banners, our giant salmon and orca inflatables and orca clad activists from across the region greeted attendees.
Mumblings after the meeting are that the public is speaking eloquently, but the leaders aren't saying much that impresses. By design, 40 stakeholder groups will never acheive consensus and their non-binding recommendations have the potential to merely camoflage a lack of actual leadership by the people with the power - but not necessarily the inclination toward making tough, decisive choices. Most important amongst such leaders is Governor Jay Inslee.
Gov. Inslee spoke these prophetic words, "As go the Orca, so go We."
It sems that in his heart he knows it is time for bold action. It is time that he get comfortable with the idea that that leadership must start with him.
The obvious, most impactful decision he can make is to remove the Lower Snake River dams. They don't pencil out. The power is more replacable than ever despite BPA protestations. The barge transport can be replaced with rail through the purchase and restoration of service on the Camas Prairie Railroad. Irrigation and other issues are solvable. What is truly irreplacable are the orca and the chinook salmon they depend upon.
The Orca task force is not a solution, but it is a gift, in that it provides the public and advocacy organizations an organizing opportunity to build upon the clarion call to action made by orca mother Tahlequah and her pod.
Tahlequah did her part. It is time that we do ours. "When the People Lead, the Leaders Follow." So, let's keep escalating our calls for bold and urgent action, so that Governor Inslee and other leaders understand that successful implementation of dam removal is an existential requirement for them to remain politically relevant - now - and to future generations.
Forward Together!

Split Croatia- Pine-clad hills, secluded coves, beaches- Split and the Dalmatian Riviera have been premier destinations on the Adriatic since the days of theRoman Emperors.
In fact, medieval Split was built within and around the palace built for the emperor Diocletian in his retirement.
The charms that entertained Emperors are still evident today. The Dalmatian Riviera offers the traveler a heady blend of natural beauty and fascinating cultural sites.
Diocletian abdicated in 305 A.D . During his reign , the emperor ruthlessly persecuted Christians. Ironically Split’s St. Dominius’ Cathedral occupies his mausoleum.
As far as we know, the original settlers here were Dalmatians tribes, later joined by Greek merchants, who saw the value of the harbor and its proximity to the rich interior. The first Romans stablished a colony nearby at Selona in 78 B.C, taking full advantage of the same features. Selona eventually became the Roman administrative center for Dalmatia, especially after Caesar settled other Italian colonist there. Roman roads and aqueducts were added to exploit the rich mines and farms along the sunny coast.
Diocletian Palace- The heart of old Split is built within and around the sprawling 8.4 acre(3.4 hectare) Palace erected by Diocletians.
A cheerful piece of cladding. Not so much a bay - because there is a downstairs bay, rather a recessed central halls section.
A consensus cladogram of the 49 gene trees obtained with the hierarchical clustering method implemented in DensiTree.
It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.

Evolutionary cladogram for mammals and marsupials.Analysis based on the most conserved 1,005 positions of 3,155 in the total ITS2 alignment (helices I and II plus conserved bases of branches: positions 810-940, 1121-1209, 2411-2469 plus conserved helix III positions 1641-1929), using the MacVector software; the tree represents the result of 1000 replications of the neighbor joining distance program using the model of Tamura-Nei; numerical values are bootstrap values. E, X, A and L indicate the four superorders of Mammalia. Maroon X = absence of helix #3 in ITS1. Blue X and XX respectively, = short or very short helix #4 on ITS1. Blue O without or with numeral 1 or 2 = presence of 5' arm on helix #4 of ITS1, showing no conserved affinity, affinity 1 or affinity 2. Brown 1 or 2 = number of subhelices in helix #6 of ITS1, where 3 are present in the remaining Mammalia. Gold X or O = absence, or great reduction, of "Insert" helix in ITS2. Green X = absence of first 5' branch helix on Helix III in ITS2. Black X = absence of second 5' branch helix on helix III of ITS2.
A very smart piece of individualisation. Window apertures have been altered out of all recognition. It must be very nice inside. This is such a bold example that I don't mind the tree intruding just a bit

The weather was ,, hmmm,,, what we plow through all the snow
in the winter for up here ,,, PERFECT DAY . Across from
the other house we did last summer we continue
on the newly remodeled house. Cedar roof. Light bouncing
everywhere off the new copper.
Light Beige high-density fiber cement boards as a rain-screen system on the exterior of the elevator shaft of a parking garage.
This is one of Ferrari's 458 Italia Challenge cars, the car replaced the F430 last year and in challenger terms it is somewhat quicker all round that the 430.
The 458 is a mid engined rear wheel driven design on an alloy chassis and is driven via a 4.5L v8 engine. Inside the challenge car there is little comfort on hand, with carbon fibre clad everything, safety roll cage and just one seat and 6pt harness. On the outside the wheels, tyres and suspension have all been changed to suit and cope with race tracks all over Europe.
Had a wander down to Bristol's Burwalls cave today, various shots.
Various access routes:
1: jump over the Leigh Woods abutment of the suspension bridge right next to the wood clad visitor musuem, or 2) wander in through Burwalls Lodge (...), and 3:
Enter the Leigh Woods area by the National Trust sign - there's a fence/plaque/bench just down Burwalls Road from the back entrance to Burwalls Lodge. Turn left, and stay about 10m down the slope from the edge of Burwall's grounds - seems to be a rough path here used by others, and bits of an old access route.

This was a throw-away picture; the color balance was set wrong and it came out blue. Thanks to digital processing I was able to salvage it with a cheap imitation of the Ansel Adams black-and-white style.
As you can see, this was taken about the same time as one of my more popular postings, Spotlight on El Cap if you'd like to see it in color.

We made a short notice booking to Copenhagen, Jayne had the first week in September booked off and we wanted to try and do a city break. Five nights hardly seemed enough but the short flight was ok. We flew over home heading east on a beautiful morning. I love flying over an area that I know and being able to see it from above. We had been warned that Copenhagen was expensive-it was! I hadn’t done any research before we set off but on the flight over, I read that taxis were expensive, so it was best to use the Metro from the airport, it isn’t far in to the city and the Metro was fairly easy to use. However! We should have caught the train, I read this whist we were sat on the Metro it has to be said! The nearest Metro stop, which I was frantically trying to work out, using my phone, travelling in and out of tunnels, turned out to be a 1.5 mile walk from our hotel, the rail station was .5. Never mind we were there to walk-subject to my lately diagnosed arthritic ankle, we just didn’t want to be towing suitcases over cobbled pavements at the same time.
We were staying in the Tivoli Hotel which was described as central, it is near Central Station but you wouldn’t describe it as central to the city. Our room wasn’t ready but we could upgrade for a modest amount plus we realised it would be a good idea to include breakfast in the upgrade deal. A good move as it turned out. Our room overlooked the train lines-all twelve of them!! We could already hear train brakes squealing along with the thump thump of steel wheels rolling over points and joints. It’s true to say that Central Station is a 24/7 operation. The overnight noise didn’t bother Jayne but I could hear it all night.
We dumped our stuff and I loaded up with the backpack and camera and we were straight out there. Copenhagen is a relatively small city but there is a lot to see. We were soon finding out that it has an extensive network of canals and bridges and these are a major feature of life in the city. Pan flat, the cyclist rules, There appeared to be twice as many bikes as residents, with countless thousands propped up everywhere you went. Where ever you looked there was silent conveyor of sit up and beg cycles being ridden in all directions. You soon got used to looking over your shoulder before making a move. The vast majority of bikes are left unlocked and almost no one wears a helmet ( I’m a no helmet man, much to the annoyance of the helmet zealots). Copenhagen is reputedly the happiest place in the world and it certainly came across as friendly and relaxed. It is, though, one of the most expensive cities in the world and two burgers and two small glasses of wine at Nyhavn cost us £50. Comically, there were four people, local to us, shouting out Jayne’s name, they had seen us going past and we had a laugh about the prices, They were sat drinking beer at £8.50 a pint. Despite the expense, the place was packed with people parting with their money. Wages are very high locally, as are the taxes. The high wages and high costs must feed each other in an upward spiral I would have thought.
Unfortunately the cost of entering buildings to go up towers etc. for a higher view of the city was also very expensive (to us). The tower at Christiansborg Palace is free but restricted by the lift system and you don’t get to the top, it does also open later than the others so you have a chance of seeing sunset over the city. Unfortunately the lifts were out of order on one of our best weather days. We did get to go up the day after but it was dull and I wasn’t overly impressed. The spiral tower across in Christiana, The Church of Our Saviour, was far more impressive. We climbed the tower here just after it opened on a stunning morning and the views are fantastic. There will be incredible bottlenecks when it’s busy though on the corkscrew stairs that get progressively narrower towards the top. Some people hog it to take endless selfies at the top and it is extremely tight up there, you can’t move up until they come down.
As usual, we tried to get to some out of the way places, with only five days and mixed weather though we had enough mainstream destinations to see. We had a day of heavy rain so we went back to the rail station which was a good indoor (and free!) destination, and made umbrellas and the rain the focal point of that days photos. The entire Danish navy seemed to be at anchor, we just missed an open day on one ship. Some I could photograph, others were guarded and had restrictions, I got the evil eye from a couple of guards as the spotted the big Canon in my hand. I can’t imagine that they could police the Japanese and stop them from getting their photos and selfies though. I always act very openly with the camera and if people look at me suspiciously I smile and give them the thumbs up. In a rail station I usually ask the police. In Central Station the police were in their station and I never saw one move out, it is covered by extensive CCTV but there were some very unpleasant people, drinking and watching for people being careless with their belongings. We were lucky to be in the station on Sunday as a tourist steam train arrived, it sat at the platform belching smoke and steam for fifteen minutes, it was also coming back in an hour so we had an expensive coffee and waited to see it again. There was big military event outside the Christiansborg Palace on Monday, with a parade through the city that came past just as we were in a good spot to view it. The area was full of soldiers wearing their medals. We haven’t discovered the reason, although someone suggested a passing out parade for new recruits. Maybe the ships were in port for this as well.
Tivoli Gardens is another big draw and we went in, again it was fairly expensive, it had been a stunning day and the biggest problem was contrast, with deep shadows and a bright blue sky. We stayed until dark, it opens late and is very colourful. We went on the world’s highest carousel and got flung around 260 odd feet in the air. Luckily, we also found a bar that served wine at ‘only’ £5.60 a glass so we sat and watched people have fun screaming and shrieking above us.
There are many buildings with copper domes, entire copper roofs, even modern buildings are often clad in either brass or copper to blend in with the ancient buildings around them. Like every city we have visited, tower cranes are in abundance. There is a lot of development going on and unfortunately a lot of it is around buildings that you would want to photograph. We walked 12 to 14 mile every day and took in most of the sights. We didn’t really do any interiors, only towers and the railway station. At the time of writing I haven’t looked at what I’ve got, I have around 3000 shots, some on the G1X which I used when it was raining heavily as it easy to put in a pocket. I have a lot less time for editing these days so it will be a long process I think. To save time I am going to create a list of generic tags that I can copy and paste to each upload – the time saving is enormous – so apologies to anyone who gets a photo of a canal when they wanted a steam train or vice versa.

Originally a department store, the first one in the Netherlands, now a cafe, corporate meeting place, venue for dance classes ... etc. It is a popular meeting point for tourists and locals alike. The metal columns in the form of green/blue figures are very distinctive. Here they are clad in "Maillots Jaune" to celebrate the Tour de France coming to Utrecht.
Designed, fabricated, and installed by a student team at Virginia Tech, the Masonic Amphitheater in Clifton Forge, Virginia, provides a public park and performance space for the rural Appalachian community. Organized by design/buildLAB, a third year architecture studio at Virginia Tech, 16 undergraduate students were asked to work with the community to plan and submit individual design proposals. Once received, a master plan was then devised as a convergence of each student’s proposition. For the interior, ALPOLIC panels in four attractive finishes were CNC-routed to clad the underside of the structure.
