Une route solitaire traverse les plaines dorées, entre ombres et lumière.
A solitary road cuts through golden plains, between shadow and light.
Taken from above with a drone. My wife inspecting a beautiful waterfall in Glenlyon at the River Lyon.
Back at the office today but I’m still dreaming about camping in that beautiful meadow down there next to the lake.
Scroby Sands aerial view -
Close-up of the jack-up barge WaveWalker 1 at Scroby Sands, Norfolk, where crews are dismantling the fire-damaged turbine.
WaveWalker 1 is a unique “walking” jack-up platform, jointly owned and operated by WaveWalker BV (a partnership between Fugro and Van Oord). Unlike conventional four-legged rigs, it has eight legs and can move, or “walk,” across the seabed while elevated — an innovation that makes it ideal for the shifting sands, tidal shallows, and intertidal zones off the Norfolk coast.
Key facts:
Built for nearshore, intertidal and shallow-water projects where floating vessels struggle.
Hull size: approx. 32 m × 32 m, with leg length up to 40 m.
Payload capacity up to 850 tonnes.
Equipped with heavy cranes for turbine and foundation work.
Can operate in standard four-leg jack-up mode or in full walking mode, moving around 40 m per hour depending on seabed conditions.
WaveWalker 1 has been deployed across Europe for offshore wind construction, cable installation, UXO clearance, and marine civil engineering. Its ability to remain stable while repositioning on shifting seabeds makes it particularly suited to the dynamic environment of Scroby Sands — a sandbank infamous for shipwrecks before it became the site of one of the UK’s first offshore wind farms.
Scroby Sands - the long-shifting sandbank off the Norfolk coast, with the offshore wind farm now established on it. Over centuries these sands have caused many wrecks and claimed ships — SS Hopelyn (1922), SS Eastward (1918), Sea Queen (1870) and more — making it a notorious hazard in coastal navigation.
The Scroby Sands Wind Farm, commissioned in March 2004, was built by Powergen Renewables Offshore (then a division of E.ON UK). Today it is wholly owned and operated by RWE Renewables UK Limited.
Some technical & operational facts:
The farm has a nameplate capacity of 60 MW, sufficient to power tens of thousands of homes.
It consists of 30 wind turbines, each rated at 2 MW.
The turbines (rotors, nacelles etc.) were designed and manufactured by Vestas, a Danish company.
The foundations are hollow steel piles (about 4 m in diameter), driven up to 30 m into the seabed, to ensure stability on the shifting sands.
Over time, the sandbank has moved, causing parts of the seabed to rise and isolate some turbines from direct vessel access. RWE and partners have addressed this by developing a world-first amphibious crew transfer vessel (CRC Walrus) that can drive on sand and reach stranded turbines.
In August 2023 one turbine at Scroby Sands caught fire. Personnel were safely evacuated, and the incident is subject to investigation.

The stillness on the shores of the Great Salt Lake is almost surreal sometimes. Wishing you all a peaceful weekend!

Shapes and forms in the desert are like abstract art sometimes. Friend climbing the sandstone for scale.
I passed several fishermen as I set up to shoot on this morning. I imagine the view was pretty enough that they were enjoying the morning even if the fish weren’t biting.
well, actually it's just a very small part of the island Katina in the Kornati archipelago (definitely not 1/2 the island!) but the capture has some interesting things; island, gulls, fisherman ...
One of my favorite castles in Germany. Meanwhile there are so many people visiting this castle, that you get a feeling of Munich Subway-Station "Marienplatz" in the midday hours. Hope, you enjoy!
this one from 2023, one of the most incredible places I have ever seen.
We started in the morning, strong windy breezes and biting cold there. But when you finally open your eyes, you enjoy the harsh weather and have a single malt with your best friend there. What more could you want?
This was on the way back, we had wonderful weather.
FInding myself in a low cloud foggy morning last Monday. I had the time and patience, which meant when the sun appeared I launched the drone and took the opportunity to shoot this photo. I was just in time cause with in a minute the fog disappeared quickly.
I look the long shades which you can emphasize when using a drone, which I very specifically use in my photography.

Temperatures across Utah have shot up but there is still a lot of snow up in the mountains. Hoping everyone can stay safe as the creeks and rivers rage with the runoff.
It takes a bit of courage to fly amidst a thunderstorm nearby. And I was lucky to capture the lightning in my frame as I was flying near Singapore Flyer. The lightning flashes were too near that I only hovered around 30m high.

This was the particular date this month in Singapore wherein both the sunrise and sunset showed good qualities of light. A glimpse of the Singapore Flyer from 60m above and 300m away as the sun disappears from the horizon.
