The New Merwede River: protection through depolderization
The Netherlands has long been associated with polders, ever since its engineers became renowned for developing techniques to drain wetlands or reclaim land from the sea and make them usable for agriculture and other development. This is well illustrated by the English saying: “God created the world but the Dutch created Holland.” In an unusual project, one of the famous Dutch polders is being handed back to nature. To reduce the risk of flooding on the New Merwede River, water has to flow faster when its level rises. A large-scale ‘depoldering’ project was embarked upon.
Taking place between 2011 and 2015, this project involves creating a floodplain at the ‘Noordwaard’. This is an area covering approximately 4,450 hectares — approximately 6,000 soccer pitches — in the province of Noord Brabant. Part of the Noordwaard will be ‘depolderized’, restructured and transformed into an intertidal area, through which large amounts of river water will flow to the sea.
Work includes the construction of creeks, dikes, mounds, bridges, pumping stations, roads and channels and a range of soil remediation operations. Sustainable solutions are characteristic features of the approach. Cooperation with local residents, businesses and stakeholders has been crucial to the success of this project.
The number of areas with dike protection in the Noordwaard was reduced and a new ‘Green Wave reducing dike’ was built. To spare the local residents from having to look out onto a higher newly-built dike, a 100 meter-wide willow forest was planted on the river side of the dike. Every other year the willows will be pruned back so that the stumps produce shoots which will catch a large part of the wash. By regularly replacing the willows they are expected to be able to absorb up to 80 per cent of the waves’ energy. Farmers and local residents were given the option of staying in the ‘depolderized’ Noordwaard by relocating their houses and some buildings to the tops of mounds to protect them.
The new landscape will be a resting place for birds throughout the year and the combination of the river discharge and the tides will create opportunities for major nature developments that are unique in Western Europe.
This was an idea of my Flickr friend Jim Hill. I already posted two of those images separately and he proposed that it could make a nice triptych if I included a third one with a modern digital look. He saw more in this triptych as well as he noted that the amount of people in the images could stand for the growing accessibility of photography. Kudos to you, Jim!
If you like this triptych, head over to Jim's page and leave him a few likes. If not, head over there all the more and find something you like. His night images from Chicago stand out and are among the most interesting work here on Flickr.
This also concludes my series of images from Corfu. Tomorrow, a series in Frankfurt will start.

The Philosophical Hall at the Strahov Monastery, Prague, Czechia (the Czech Republic's official short name as of 2016)
(unless you made and paid for a reservation months beforehand, you are not allowed inside and can only admire the room from the doorway; photos can be taken only if you pay extra for a photo permit; best viewed enlarged for details)
Abbot Vaclav Mayer, during the last quarter of the 18th century, decided to build new library premises for the numerous acquisitions so he ordered the Philosophical Hall to be built by the naturalized Italian architect Johann Ignaz Palliardi. The hall is 32 meters long, 10 meters wide and 14 meters high, flanked on all sides by rich walnut wood bookcases. The highest shelves are only accessible from the gallery which is accessed by secret spiral staircases in both corners, masked by false book covers.
The ceiling was painted by Viennese artist Anton Maulbertsch over a period of 6 months, aided by only one assistant. The painting called The Spiritual Development of Mankind depicts the development of religion and science, guided by Divine Providence in the center of the painting, surrounded by virtues.
In the 19th century, Napoleon Bonaparte's wife Marie Louise visited the library and donated a four-volume work on Louvre museum paintings and Versailles gardens. The gift was stored in the tall bookcase that dominates the left side of the hall. On the top of the bookcase, there is a marble bust of Francis I, Emperor of Austria and Marie Louise's father.
The total number of volumes in the hall exceeds 50,000 works. In 2010, the Philosophical Hall was completely restored.
Further development and change of perspective, in life and in creativity is always a gain for yourself and also for the people with whom you are in communication. The photo is a small project in which new ideas were implemented. Thank you for the support and implementation by my friend.
The growth and development of flowers occurs over several weeks from the germination of seeds planted in a ground or container to the time in which flowers bloom. The entire process happens in about five stages for most flowers. Although flower species have varying bloom periods, the general growth and development process is basically the same for all flowers. Moderate variations in the length of time of certain stages may differ by flower species. A Sprout Is Born
The seed begins the germination process during the first five days after being planted. During day 3 of the initial growth and development stage, imbibition begins as the dry seed takes in water from the ground. Next, the root emerges from the seed coat on or about day 4. On day 5, the root begins to extend and develops a root system at one end while a stem forms at the other end. The stem starts the process of making its way upward and eventually past the soil's surface. Hey, Bud
Stage 2 is the stage when a flower's leaves develop. Leaf development usually begins on day 6 and continues to day 26. Leaves begin as tiny rosettes (leaf buds). As the stem begins growing leaves, the development of a flower's primary root structure also culminates usually sometime after day 14. Even though leaf growth does not officially happen until stage 3, the first leaf buds may begin growing after day 18 and continue until day 26. A New Leaf on Life
Leaf growth overlaps slightly between stages 2 and 3 as buds evolve into new leaf growth. But stage 3 officially marks the entire leaf growth period at around day 19. During this stage, all of the leaf buds grow until each one reaches full maturity at about day 29. It's also possible for stage 4 to begin during the latter part (day 26) of the leaf growth stage.
Beginning of the Blossom Day 26 is the day in which most flowers experience inflorescence emergence. In other words, flower buds start appearing on the stem, signifying stage 4 of development. It often occurs toward the end of stage 3 leaf growth; however, it is treated as a separate stage because the period indicates the growth and development exclusively of flowers.
Bloom Times
Stage 5 commences the flower production phase. On approximately day 31, the first flower bud opens. Additional flower buds continue opening throughout a roughly 18-day bloom period until day 49 at which point flower production typically ends.

What is canola?
The oilseed packed with healthy oil, protein and potential
In a few decades, canola has become one of the world’s most important oilseeds and one of Canada’s leading crops. Today canola is a true “made-in-Canada” success story and the foundation of a thriving, sustainable industry.
The canola plant
One of the most widely grown crops in Canada, canola plants produce beautiful small yellow flowers which develop into pods, resembling pea pods. Each pod contains tiny black seeds, made up of about 45% oil. Once harvested, canola seeds are crushed to release the oil contained within the seed.
Canola grown in Canada belongs to the Brassica napus B. rapa or B. juncea species which belong to a much larger mustard family (Brassicaceae). Cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower are also part of this same botanical family.
The history of canola seed in Canada
Historical records indicate that rapeseed was cultivated as early as 2000 B.C.E. in India and introduced into China and Japan around 35 B.C.E. Documented use or that of a close relative appears in the earliest writings of European and Asian civilizations. Rapeseed plants prefer to grow in relatively low temperatures, with less heat required for successful reproduction than other oilseed crops. Therefore, rapeseed was one of the very few oil sources that could be successfully grown in temperate climates. This led to rapeseed being grown in Europe as early as the 13th century. In later centuries, rapeseed was used for both cooking and lighting, as its oil produced a smokeless white flame. Rapeseed had a rather limited industrial acceptance until the development of steam power, when it was discovered that rapeseed oil would bind to water and steam washed metal surfaces better than any other lubricant. It was this special property that led to the introduction of rapeseed into Canada.
The need for Canadian rapeseed production arose from the critical shortage of rapeseed oil that was needed by Allied forces during World War II and were supplied by Canada to break the blockade of European and Asian sources in the early 1940s. The oil was urgently needed as a lubricant for the rapidly increasing number of marine engines in naval and merchant ships.

It's that time of the year again. Hiawatha #336 arrives Chicago behind the class Amtrak B32-8WH which is subbing for a Charger that shit out a few days prior. The searchlight installations at the east end of Morgan Street were installed in the early 1980s.
Real estate development has exploded in the West Loop over the past decade. The Fulton Labs on the right were completed last year, and 345 N. Morgan on the left was completed a few months ago (still under construction when this picture was taken). The latter was built by Sterling Bay which is also overseeing the redevelopment of the former ADM flour mill. What you see here is only a fraction of what's to come to the West Loop in the next few years.

I took a couple of shots and stitched them together to form this panorama of the Ocean Reef Marina development. Im keen to see progress at this site as there will be a 50 m Sea water pool which I can see the beginnings of. I will be keen to use this pool when finished.
One of 2 new arrivals at Hertfordshire Zoo aka Paradise Wildlife Park - sun bears in a marvellous new enclosure with walkways above and paths below.
Large-scale deforestation and degradation throughout southeast Asia over the past three decades (clear-cutting for plantation development of palm oil, unsustainable logging practices, illegal logging) has dramatically reduced sun bears' forest habitat, and are pushing this bear to the brink of extinction.
Said Bear found some ribbon and decided it would look better on him than a jam jar. He likes mauve against green. So do I, so harmony prevails.
I really do not enjoy the process of taking sunset photos, having to be in the perfect place, at the perfect time is something I have difficulty with - and my lens being incompatible with (sensibly priced) filters doesn't exactly help either, but all in all despite the bitching, I'm pretty happy with how this one came out.

I’ve been thinking recently that there is something missing from flickr, (well something that I haven’t found yet). A kind of place (group) that has the ability to inspire, to welcome experimentation, a place that has a lot more depth than the usual shallow resting place for hundreds of images. I want equality, a place that isn’t run by power obsessed admin's, a place that isn’t a all closed network of buddies, a place that welcomes true thought, true learning, true experimentation. I want to visit to contribute, to experiment, to crit others work, to have a balanced group of people that respect others values. I want a place that doesn’t have any irritating insecure people trying to tell you how good they are. Yes I'm wanting a lot and I do get these things from different groups (id say about 3 or 4 that I visit regularly) but I want them all in one place.
To be honest, I would like to cherry pick the people I value (for many reasons) and get them together and create a new group that would be fantastic. But I also don’t want to upset anybody…and god not another group, please no not more groups.
I also have been wondering if there isn’t a better way of developing ideas, sparking inspiration. For me I would love to get more involved in a discussion-based group concerning the ideas behind photography. Kind of the deeper physiological elements to why we take photos, what the viewer feels, presenting challenging concepts, blar blar blar. I feel that to push in these directions is fascinating. As some of you may have observed, I've been trying to get this type of thing going in the threads of some groups, but it doest seem to be working. What I'm asking here I suppose is does anybody know of any groups that offer this type of thing or do I have to set one up, or do I try and push one of the groups I'm involved in into this direction? Also I wonder if there is any others out there, who are committed enough and have the desire to challenge them selves, push themselves in different directions. I only know of a few people here on flicker that I ‘Guess’ would welcome this type of direction but id truly love to meet more. This isn’t about just image quality (that is a given) its about ideas, experimentation, forging new ground (if that’s possible)
Anyway, any thoughts out there?
Note: this is taken on Constantine beach at sunset this summer. I got down very low and used a polarizer to maintain the foreground leading lines. Anyway I hope you like it.
