This photo was shoot in October of 2006. I have been chasing the kids with my camera and I don't know how many times I clicked, but I was lucky to find some of the pics in great mood. This is one of them and I had to crop a lot to make this photo presentable.
A dramatic backdrop of rocks and islands and a community committed to conserving and sharing its natural and cultural heritage are hallmarks of the California Coastal National Monument at Trinidad Head.
About 30 miles north of Eureka, California lies the majestic and culturally important promontory that encompasses several prominent historic sites along with the rocky ledges that provide their setting, such as the Trinidad Head Light Station, which first operated in 1871 and is still active today.
Accompanied by a small wooden bell house, it sits atop sheer cliffs overlooking crashing waves and rugged sea stacks.
Outdoor adventurers can choose a hike around Trinidad Head for great views of the coastal rocks and islands, stroll along the beaches or view the more than 75,000 birds, including cormorants, common murres, and occasionally tufted puffins that call Trinidad Head home.

Oberlin theater program's production of Terrence McNally's irreverent comedy, Where has Tommy Flowers Gone? ran December 8th through 10th. The show is a quick-paced tour de force in which the main character takes the audience on a wild roller-coaster ride of comic sketches, dramatic scenes, anti-authoritarian diatribes, and fantasy sequences that collectively portray his life, personality, and politics.

Scoured and gouged by glaciers, ancient and modern, Western Norway's deep, sea-drowned valleys are pincered by steep, rugged terrain. It's a landscape that is so utterly unique and so profoundly beautiful that it is one of the most desirable destinations in the world.
Ferries are a way of life in the west. These reliable workhorses make navigating the insane geography possible but are also an enjoyable part of your journey, offering staggering, otherwise inaccessible, panoramas. (words by loney planet)
South of Åndalsnes, the Troll's Ladder (Trollstigen) is a thriller of a climb or descent. Recently declared a National Tourist Route, it was completed in 1936 after eight years of labour. To add an extra daredevil element to its 11 hairpin bends and a 1:12 gradient, much of it is effectively single lane. Several dramatic waterfalls, including the thundering 180m-high Stigfossen, slice down its flanks.
At the top, a visitors centre has been built from concrete, rusted steel and glass, to both withstand the extreme terrain and to mimic its many textures. Leading from here are dramatic viewing platforms that jut here and there over the abyss and offer panormas of the snaking road and the lush valley below, as well as a perputal waterfall soundtrack.
Ålesund: The home base for Norway's largest cod-fishing fleet, sits on a narrow, fishhook-shaped sea-bound peninsula. Despite its primary source of income, this is no regular Norwegian port. After a devastating fire in 1904, the city was rebuilt in curvaceous Jugendstil – art nouveau – style and today remains Scandinavia's most complete and harmonious example of the era.
Geiranger port although very small is very busy with local Norwegian ferries visiting every other hour and Hurtigruten cruise ships visiting every day. Whilst we were Hurtigruten Nordkapp visited and dropped off a few passengers and collected some other to sail to the next port in it’s schedule.
Voronezhskoye Vodokhranilische is a reservoir on the Voronezh River in the Voronezh Region of Russia. It is entirely located in the urban district of Voronezh and is one of the world's largest reservoirs located entirely within the city limits. The initial (design) parameters of the reservoir were as follows: area 70 km², volume 0.204 km³, length 35 km, average width 2 km, average depth 2.9 m, height above sea level - 93.0 m. Currently, the reservoir has changed its size: area 59.9 km², volume 0.1993 km³, average width 1.7 km, average depth 3.3 m, maximum depth 19.4 m. It was formed in 1971-1972 by a dam for the purpose of industrial water supply to the city. In colloquial speech, Voronezh residents are sometimes called the sea or the Voronezh Sea. Currently heavily contaminated. Work is underway to increase the average depth of the reservoir in order to clean it. The city of Voronezh is located on the banks of the reservoir.
Previously, on the site of the reservoir there was the Voronezh River, on the banks of which Peter I began building ships in 1695. As a result of the work, the forests on the banks were cut down, which led to a strong shallowing of the river. To save the reservoir from drying out, lock systems were built according to the project of the English engineer Peri. The water in the river rose to 15 feet. And for the safety of navigation, in 1703, at the confluence of the artery, the first wooden dam and a casement lock were erected on the Voronezh River.
The wooden dam existed until 1931, but fell into disrepair much earlier. Its territory has become a hotbed of infections and malarial mosquitoes, the floodplain of the river has turned into a swamp. In addition, in the 1930s, Voronezh became a city with a large number of industrial enterprises. The city's water needs have increased dramatically. As a result, on August 14, 1937, the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR adopted the Resolution "On the Improvement of the Voronezh River and Its Floodplain". Two options were considered: flooding and drainage. Preference was given to flooding: in the 1940s, it was planned to create a reservoir 10 kilometers from Voronezh and strengthen the banks with ramparts. But in 1941, the war began. Voronezh was seriously destroyed, the restoration of the city lasted about 15 years, and only in 1967 they returned to this idea. Work on the creation of the reservoir was carried out in a short time, ahead of schedule, as a result of which, instead of 15 years allotted for the creation of the reservoir, it took 3 years. But due to the hasty construction, it was not possible to properly prepare the bottom of the reservoir and deepen it (the average depth was only 2-3 meters), and the treatment facilities of the enterprises were not built. All this, according to environmentalists, became the cause of serious water pollution in the future.
On August 9, 1971, a decisive operation was carried out: the builders blocked the bed of the Voronezh River. On March 31, 1972, the filling of the Voronezh reservoir began. 4 days later, on April 3, 1972, the complex of technical structures of the Voronezh hydroelectric complex, including the dam and the navigable lock, was put into operation. By the summer of 1972, the water level was at its present level.
The project also solved the transport problem - it created a waterway from the Don through the Voronezh River to Lipetsk. In 1982, excursions transported more than 200 thousand passengers. Today, this route does not operate. Also, since the 1970s, fishing has been carried out on the reservoir - by 1990, the catch reached 10 tons.
In 1975, work was carried out to improve the embankments of the Voronezh reservoir. The parks "Scarlet Sails" and "Dolphin" were opened on the left bank. A decorative lighthouse has been erected on the beach near the Scarlet Sails Park.
In 1977, the construction of the Northern Bridge over the reservoir began. It was opened on December 5, 1985.
In the early 1990s, the sanitary services announced that the reservoir did not meet the accepted standards, so swimming in the reservoir became less widespread and fishing on its territory remained only a sports hobby. The authorities carried out a purge, but it was not deep enough to change the situation for the better. Today, the city's industry requires three times less water than in the 1970s, and irrigation consumes only 1.39 million cubic meters of water per year — 2.6% of total water consumption. For 40 years, the area of the reservoir has decreased, and the shoals are expanding every year.
Until the early 2000s, 2 aeration fountains operated near the dam of the Chernavsky Bridge, which served as oxygenation of water in the stagnant corners of the reservoir and cooled the water. In May 2010, it was planned to build a grandiose fountain with a jet height of up to 175 meters in approximately the same place, near the Scarlet Sails Park, but this project remained on paper.
From 1991 to 1996, on the left bank near the railway bridge (Artamonova-Odintsova Street), work was carried out to alluvinate the shore - a sandy beach 2 kilometers long and 300-800 meters wide was created, as well as a sand spit. Around the same time, sections of the coast in Otrozhka north of the railway bridge were washed out, and the creation of an island for VPS-4 began. In 2004, the beach near the Gorky sanatorium was washed.
On September 7, 1996, the Admiralty Square was solemnly opened on the right bank of the reservoir. In its place, the first ships of the Russian Navy were built.
In 2005, a project of mass reclamation of shores and islands appeared, which, according to its developers, should deepen the reservoir to 8-10 meters and accelerate the current, with a sharp decrease in the area of the water surface. This will purify the water and prevent an environmental disaster. Roads and residential areas will be built on the reclaimed areas, which would bring additional benefits to the city. This project was actively supported by the chief architect of the region Leonid Yanovsky and the mayor Boris Skrynnikov. However, a number of environmentalists consider such a project dubious, besides, its implementation requires a lot of money and several decades. However, in the 2008 general plan of Voronezh, it is still planned to reclaim several areas of the reservoir by 2020.
From 2007 to 2009, on the initiative of Mayor B. Skrynnikov, a piece of land was washed near the Vogresovskaya dam on the right bank (Petrovskaya Embankment), up to 300 meters wide. It was planned to create an entertainment complex, shopping centers, and a water park on it, but these projects remained unimplemented. On Artamonova Street, DSK has been building a residential complex since 2009.
In November 2008, the VOGRES bridge was recognized as emergency.
In October 2009, the 15-year reconstruction of the Chernavsky Bridge was completed.
In July 2014, the Gotō Predestination museum ship opened on the reservoir.
