During the mid-19th century, ships carrying timber from Canada (particularly Quebec City) would arrive at Padstow and offer cheap travel to passengers wishing to emigrate. Shipbuilders in the area would also benefit from the quality of their cargoes. Among the ships that sailed were the barques Clio, Belle and Voluna; and the brig Dalusia.
The approach from the sea into the River Camel is partially blocked by the Doom Bar, a bank of sand extending across the estuary which is a significant hazard to shipping and the cause of many shipwrecks.
For ships entering the estuary, the immediate loss of wind due to the cliffs was a particular hazard, often resulting in ships being swept onto the Doom Bar. A manual capstan was installed on the west bank of the river (its remains can still be seen) and rockets were fired to carry a line to ships so that they could be winched to safety.
There have been ferries across the Camel estuary for centuries and the current service, the Black Tor Ferry, carries pedestrians between Padstow and Rock daily throughout the year.

When I was in Tokyo, I had a great time out with Altus! He stayed with me here in Austin, and we were able to meet up for a fun time of photography out in Tokyo. That's one of the BEST things about having a blog, I must say! It gives me the chance to meet all kinds of nice people like YOU that extend gracious invitations for photography!
After dark, Altus took me to this cool restaurant. The manager was very nice and let us sit where we wanted and then a carte-blanche for taking photos. He asked if I would send him photos and if I charge... and I told him no... I do this stuff for fun! So, we have a smart and well-movied community here - who can tell me the name of this restaurant?
Peachpit definitely has the sample from my book up on their website now. Just click on "Sample Content" and you'll be in good shape. There are some very good tips just in that 20 pages! :)

The moon from Sweden. Taken with Canon 80D + Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. I would love to try a Canon x2 extender, or even the x1.4 extender,.
I've extended the wheelbase (to popular demand) by one stud, added an awesome whale tail, and I've made some slight engine modifications. ;) Bizimoto Twin Turbos, Blow-off Valves, and Intercooler to be more exact. (a wicked set up that you can see here www.speedhunters.com/2012/06/the-new-old-kid-on-the-block/ )

The citrine wagtail (Motacilla citreola) is a small songbird in the family Motacillidae.
This species breeds in the central Palearctic in wet meadows and tundra. It migrates in winter to South Asia, often to highland areas. Its range is expanding westwards, and it is a rare but increasing vagrant to western Europe. Vagrants seem to extend the migration rather than straying en route; in Bhutan for example, though along with one of the species' migration flyways, the citrine wagtail has been recorded as an extremely rare passer-by rather than staying even for a few days or weeks
A winter storm that moved through the Mid-Atlantic on Feb. 16 and 17, 2015 extended the northeastern U.S. snowcover farther south. Until this storm hit, southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania appeared snow-free on satellite imagery from the previous week.
The overnight storm blanketed the entire states of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, as seen on this Feb. 16 image. The image was taken from the MODIS or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer instrument that flies aboard NASA's Terra satellite. The snow cover from the storm actually extended even farther south than the image. Snowfall also blanketed West Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, while freezing rain and icy conditions affected the Carolinas, Tennessee and Georgia.
On Feb. 17, 2015, NOAA's National Weather Service noted "The winter storm that brought widespread snow, sleet and freezing rain to parts of the south-central U.S. and Mid-Atlantic will wind down as it moves offshore Tuesday. Lingering snow and freezing rain is possible early Tuesday for parts of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, with rain across parts of the Southeast."

Forster-Tuncurry and Lake Wallis.
These coastal towns sit each side of the entrance to Lake Wallis separate by a neck of water and a bridge. Lake Wallis extends 26 kms inland from the coast and is a haven for bird and marine life. Booti Booti National Park lies just to the south of Forster. Explorer John Oxley camped here for a night in 1818 and named Lake Wallis after the Commandant of the Newcastle penal settlement at that time. Around 1831 the Australian Red Cedar loggers moved into the region and floated the cedar through Lake Wallis to the entrance to the coast. The first settlers took up land around Cape Hawkes in 1863. The caught fish and sent oysters to Sydney. A town site was surveyed in 1869 and named Forster in 1870 after William Forster a local settler. A saw miller and a small shipbuilder took up some of the first town sites. A school opened and the first hotel was licensed from 1874. North Forster was known as Tuncurry from 1875. Today the area is known for its superb beaches, its headlands, its National Parks and its waterways and rainforests around Lake Wallis. Fishing and oysters are still the main stays of the local economy in addition to tourism but in the early 20th century dairying was important and Forster had a butter factory some years. The bridge linking Tuncurry and Forster was built in 1959. Our Free Spirit lunch cruise departs from the wharf at 11:30 am for two and a half hours. Wallis Lake has around 210 species of birds including rainbow and scaly-breasted lorikeets, yellow-faced honeyeaters and numerous water birds. Dolphins, eagles, swans and pelicans are regularly on the lake. The Information Centre is near the Free Spirit wharf and make sure you walk through the shopping precinct to reach the Forster Main Beach.

En términos empresariales, la expresión "hub" podría definirse como una zona geográfica que se especializa en una actividad en particular y cuya intensidad de realización es mucho mayor con respecto a otras zonas. Algo así sucede en la ciudad de Valparaíso, la que se puede definir casi perfectamente como un "hub", ésta vez del Arte Urbano o del Street Art si es que usamos la palabra en inglés. En cada esquina, vitrina, cortina de local, edificio o calle (o un largo etc.), Valparaíso nos ofrece trabajos que detrás de ellos tienen un proceso creativo intenso (y el que aún no es comprendido del todo por muchas personas), y con una fuerte renovación, porque prácticamente en cada mes tenemos murales nuevos en todos los formatos y motivos posibles, como éste mural en pleno Cerro Larraín, confeccionado por Neoxs Tombo Black (probablemente del crew Plus) y que tiene como protagonistas a Rocky y Bulkwinkle, personajes de dibujos animados que por este lado del mundo tan extendidos no están. No obstante, y obviando aquél detalle, Valparaíso es una ciudad capaz de ofrecernos nuevos trabajos, los que próximamente revisitaremos.

After all the snow has melted so many face masks are along sidewalks. Quebec and Prince Edward Island are the only two provinces extending their mask mandates only until the end of this month. Other provinces such as Ontario have resisted to reimpose public health restrictions including mask mandates. Unfortunately we are now in the 6’th wave of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the Omicron BA-2 subvariant. Regrettably, rapid antigen testing now only works 37% and most people can’t access hospitals PCR testing that’s restricted. So, we can’t actually determine the number of active cases. However, sewer water testing in our province just reported between 100,000 and 120,000 new active cases of the virus each day, a far cry from 4,224 officially reported yesterday due to the limits of PCR testing.
Vaccination rates vary across the country, but research has shown the shots help reduce severe outcome’s especially in older (70+) individuals and people with co-morbidity. Our Health Unit recommends all over 60 get the 4’th booster. They also referenced the current severity of the new variant with the most deaths in the past 3 months compared to the last 2 years when COVID-19 started.
Fortunately me and my family have yet to catch the virus’s but the risk has surged so it might happen if I stop masking. Obviously working I have to continue wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
So I won’t dump my masks!
Stay safe Flickr contacts 🙏
Not had much time to get out recently, so it's Woody again I'm afraid. Taken yesterday testing the new camera with my 1.4x Extender, which tbh was very hit and miss.... more miss with the 1DX MKi, but with the Mkii it performs so much better in my view.
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is the largest heron in Europe. It has a long neck, a strong, dagger-like bill and long yellow legs. In flight, the neck is folded back, and the wings are bowed. In adults, the forehead, sides of the head and the center of the crown are white, whereas in juveniles these are grayish. The sexes are similar in appearance.
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is a long-legged predatory wading bird of the heron family, Ardeidae, native throughout temperate Europe and Asia and also parts of Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but some populations from the more northern parts migrate southwards in autumn. A bird of wetland areas, it can be seen around lakes, rivers, ponds, marshes and on the sea coast. It feeds mostly on aquatic creatures which it catches after standing stationary beside or in the water or stalking its prey through the shallows.
Standing up to 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) tall, adults weigh from 1 to 2 kg (2 to 4 lb). They have a white head and neck with a broad black stripe that extends from the eye to the black crest. The body and wings are grey above and the underparts are greyish-white, with some black on the flanks. The long, sharply pointed beak is pinkish-yellow and the legs are brown.
The birds breed colonially in spring in "heronries", usually building their nests high in trees. A clutch of usually three to five bluish-green eggs is laid. Both birds incubate the eggs for around 25 days, and then both feed the chicks, which fledge when 7-8 weeks old. Many juveniles do not survive their first winter, but if they do, they can expect to live for about 5 years.
The grey heron is a large bird, standing up to 100 cm (40 in) tall and measuring 84–102 cm (33–40 in) long with a 155–195 cm (61–77 in) wingspan. The body weight can range from 1.02–2.08 kg (2 lb 4 oz–4 lb 9+1⁄4 oz). The plumage is largely ashy-grey above, and greyish-white below with some black on the flanks. Adults have the head and neck white with a broad black supercilium that terminates in the slender, dangling crest, and bluish-black streaks on the front of the neck. The scapular feathers are elongated and the feathers at the base of the neck are also somewhat elongated. Immature birds lack the dark stripe on the head and are generally duller in appearance than adults, with a grey head and neck, and a small, dark grey crest. The pinkish-yellow beak is long, straight and powerful, and is brighter in colour in breeding adults. The iris is yellow and the legs are brown and very long.
The main call is a loud croaking "fraaank", but a variety of guttural and raucous noises is heard at the breeding colony. The male uses an advertisement call to encourage a female to join him at the nest, and both sexes use various greeting calls after a pair bond has been established. A loud, harsh "schaah" is used by the male in driving other birds from the vicinity of the nest and a soft "gogogo" expresses anxiety, as when a predator is nearby or a human walks past the colony. The chicks utter loud chattering or ticking noises.
The grey heron has an extensive range throughout most of the Palearctic realm. The range of the nominate subspecies A. c. cinerea extends to 70° N in Norway and 66°N in Sweden, but otherwise its northerly limit is around 60°N across the rest of Europe and Asia eastwards as far as the Ural Mountains. To the south, its range extends to northern Spain, France, central Italy, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Iraq, Iran, India, The Maldives and Myanmar (Burma). It is also present in Africa south of the Sahara Desert, the Canary Islands, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and many of the Mediterranean Islands. It is replaced by A. c. jouyi in eastern Siberia, Mongolia, eastern China, Hainan, Japan, and Taiwan. In Madagascar and the Aldabra Islands, the subspecies A. c. firasa is found, while the subspecies A. c. monicae is restricted to Mauritania and offshore islands.
Over much of its range, the grey heron is resident, but birds from the more northerly parts of Europe migrate southwards, some remaining in Central and Southern Europe, others travelling on to Africa south of the Sahara Desert.
The grey heron is also known to be vagrant in the Caribbean, Bermuda, Iceland, Greenland, the Aleutian Islands, and Newfoundland, with a few confirmed sightings in other parts of North America including Nova Scotia and Nantucket.
Within its range, the grey heron can be found anywhere with suitable watery habitat that can supply its food. The water body needs to be either shallow enough, or have a shelving margin in it, which it can wade. Although most common in the lowlands, it also occurs in mountain tarns, lakes, reservoirs, large and small rivers, marshes, ponds, ditches, flooded areas, coastal lagoons, estuaries, and the sea shore. It sometimes forages away from water in pasture, and it has been recorded in desert areas, hunting for beetles and lizards. Breeding colonies are usually near feeding areas, but exceptionally may be up to eight kilometers (five miles) away, and birds sometimes forage as much as 20 km (12 mi) from the nesting site.

The Anastasia Formation extends for 2 miles north along the shoreline with cliffs up to 15 feet high at the House of Refuge. Looking south from the end of the boardwalk, Bathtub Reef is visible.
Immediately ahead is an outcrop with small burrows, aminated crusts, solution pipes, a notch and an abrasion platform, and a mass of collapsed rock. Moving north along the beach moving toward the House of Refuge, there are several outcrops with conspicuous notches.
At the House of Refuge are prominent planar bedding, many fossils (including Busycon), small and large burrows, thick laminated calcium carbonate crusts, lithified infillings, solution pipes, notched cliffs, promontories and small coves, and many large masses of collapsed bedrock.
