Reiter Berry Farms, in Watsonville, CA, on Thursday, August 27, 2015, are working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to improve on the 30% water savings they already achieve with precision micro subsurface irrigation. The use of a Wireless Irrigation Monitoring Network (WIN) to collects data from wireless solar powered soil tensiometers, and weather field stations positioned throughout farms in three counties enable them to track soil, temperature, and humidity conditions with a cloud-based irrigation management system, to better manage watering and soil conservation efforts in more than 700 acres.

Better management by producers using a currently dwindling supply and quality of ground water (wells) in this county will help recharge the aquifer and prevent the migration of nearby Pacific Ocean salt water into the ground water they use. This is one of the ways growers are extending the water supply.

At the risk of getting trench foot and in heavy rain I secured this shot of South African Railway class NGG16 No.87 climbing the gradient from Pont Croesor towards the Aberglaslyn Pass at milepost 19 on the Welsh Highland Railway with the 11.00 Porthmadog Harbour to Caernarfon. The cloud base had descended to little more than 100ft and it was more like December than late September so photography further up the line was out of the question as Beddgelert was in the clouds.

This Garrett type locomotive which is a 2-6-2+2-6-2 was built Cockerill in Belgium for use in South Africa and dates from 1936.

old photo of me [Brian Wood] flying Miles's GULP'... Great old times, how I miss them ..

Hi Don,

Of course you can use it. [Flickr Website]

Yes, I remember Johnny [Carr] had one. But Miles [Handley] gave me one to fly and take to the Internationale Meistershaft in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, October 1975.

I was going to a big Comp/fly-in there. But the comp could not take place, as the mountain was thick with cloud the whole time we was there. It was a big Championship ski-jump arena, and Miles was looking for me to find a 'local agent' to sell the GULP' for him

whilst I was there, which I did. And the guy brought it for £450.00 as far as I can remember, and he paid me in 'Gold Krugerrands'.

I climbed up the mountain with it till I was just below the cloud base, rigged it up and flew down it into the Arena area which was full of people, punters, pilots etc and they loved it, something very different.

PS I only ever brought one hang glider in all the years I flew, and that was my first glider a 'WASP B3 or B4' from Terry and Robin

Haynes, great times....

Take care Brian

Sunset in Mt St Helens National Monument. The sun had just dipped below some a heavy cloud-base. Taken in 1999 using a Nikon F301 SLR with 24mm lens; 35mm Kodak Ektachrome 100, digitised via DSLR and macro lens.

Madonna and Child

FILIPINO

17th Century

Solid Ivory with traces of gilding and polychromy.

Head of Virgin replaced.

Provenance: Collection of Dr. Porfirio J. and Mrs. Socorro Rodriguez Callo

Purchased from Likhâ Antiques.

A solid ivory figure of the Madonna and Child carved during the 17th century. The Madonna stands on an "Ensaymada" (brioche) cloud base typical of early renditions of the Mother and Child. On the base of the image is carved a small angel head with outspread wings. Horns of crescent moon now missing although large holes at the sides of the image indicates where these were originally included as part of the iconography. Tuck or "suksuk" present in the back. The Virgin stands on a black integral base.

The Virgin's gown crosses her body laterally at the waist, folds gracefully backwards and falls in soft, agitated folds at her feet. The Virgin is shown clasping the foot of the child typical of Philippine images of the Virgin and Child carved during the period. This feature shows the influence of the Spanish sculptor Juan Martinez Montanes.

The slight hint of knee, the toes peeping out of the Madonna's voluminous gown and the "suksuk" present in the back are clear indications of this image's Philippine provenance.

Numerous cracks and signs of wear indicative of this image's great age.

Many similar renditions of the Madonna and Child made during the 17th century are published in: Jose, R. T. (1990). Images of faith: Religious ivory carvings from the Philippines. Pacific Asia Museum: Pasadena, CA, pp 65 - 70, 114 - 115.

I love that buildings and streets like this still exist. In today's fast-paced, digital, fibre-communication, cloud-based, app controlled 21st century, this is a real step back in time.

Reiter Berry Farms, in Watsonville, CA, on Thursday, August 27, 2015, are working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to improve on the 30% water savings they already achieve with precision micro subsurface irrigation. The use of a Wireless Irrigation Monitoring Network (WIN) to collects data from wireless solar powered soil tensiometers, and weather field stations positioned throughout farms in three counties enable them to track soil, temperature, and humidity conditions with a cloud-based irrigation management system, to better manage watering and soil conservation efforts in more than 700 acres. They actively share their data, methods, and experiences with other producers. Better management by producers using a currently dwindling supply and quality of ground water (wells) in this county will help recharge the aquifer and prevent the migration of nearby Pacific Ocean salt water into the ground water they use.
