Sea Defences UK

We had a shooting assignment in my camera club to do a photo series, with some limits. The required limit was using the same focal length in all images. The other one I chose was "in camera double exposure."
I have gone through a lot of emotional ups and downs in the past several weeks, and decided to do self portraits to convey my feelings, emotions and vulnerabilities.
So there are six in the series. I used my Lensbaby Velvet 56, and with each double exposure, I also moved while the shutter was open to create more of an abstract effect. I will be posting them, interspersed with my other posts.

Black Kite (Milvus migrans)
Black-shouldered Kite (Elanus axillaris) female
Belle was busy defending the nest from the Black Kite invader. It eventually moved on but no doubt will keep returning.
No time for photography this weekend. I have been cleaning up the back garden after the water board did the sewer re-lining. What a mess they left!
Groynes are a popular form of sea defence on the Norfolk coast. Coastal erosion is a particular problem in Overstrand and along the North Norfolk coast. Predictions of future sea level rise due to climate change are only likely to exacerbate this.
The Asian elephant (Elephas maximus), also called Asiatic elephant, is the only living species of the genus Elephas and is distributed throughout the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, from India in the west, Nepal in the north, Sumatra in the south, and to Borneo in the east. Three subspecies are recognised—E. m. maximus from Sri Lanka, E. m. indicus from mainland Asia and E. m. sumatranus from the island of Sumatra. The Asian elephant is the largest living land animal in Asia. Since 1986, the Asian elephant has been listed as Endangered. It is primarily threatened by loss of habitat, habitat degradation, fragmentation and poaching. In 2003, the wild population was estimated at between 41,410 and 52,345 individuals. Female captive elephants have lived beyond 60 years when kept in semi-natural surroundings, such as forest camps. In zoos, Asian elephants die at a much younger age; captive populations are declining due to a low birth and high death rate. In general, the Asian elephant is smaller than the African bush elephant and has the highest body point on the head. Tusks serve to dig for water, salt, and rocks, to debark and uproot trees, as levers for maneuvering fallen trees and branches, for work, for display, for marking trees, as weapon for offence and defence, as trunk-rests, and as protection for the trunk. 26628

An image of IIIIIIII at La Defence, Paris, France.
I thought the strong vertical stripes and the street furniture, made for an interesting abstract composition, I had previously processed this in colour, but think it works really well in mono?
Its actually a ventilation shaft for the Paris RER line :)

... in Cambridgeshire. It's the fourth longest river in the UK. The area around St Ives is prone to flooding, so flood defences have been put up to counter this. This view (and the next photo also) is from the bridge in St Ives ... a major river crossing over past centuries.
Disappointment again! I managed to get this image shortlisted in this years LPOTY competition but learnt on Friday that it had not made it through to the book. This was taken at Low Hauxley last winter.
Ive. One from NEOWISE night. Not the best detail in the shadows as it was going dark by then, and I was perched on the sea defence like an evil troll, I.e. no tripod. Anyway, I still quite like it. Happy Tuesday!
