Hamburgs Fleete

One of those strange lighting days on the coast where I'm tempted to just set my camera on Auto and let it decide. But I didn't.
Doesn't look like many boats are out fishing.

One more Pelican pic. This one a fleet shot from a whole lot closer than the video posted a couple of days ago. Not really any cropping except for top and bottom. I have posted a bit larger than normal so that detail can be enjoyed in full view.
It was a joy to watch them. they would swim into this bay on Astotin Lake at Elk Island National Park single file and then proceed to pack into this tightly knit group. A big plus was that I was able to shoot with the sun from the side of them instead of behind them, which is usually the case when I see them in the morning.
A bit of trivia, a group of Pelicans is known as a Pod, but has also been called a Pouch, a Scoop or a Squadron, but when fishing or feeding as a group is known as a Fleet.

C-FHCM, a Boeing 737-8 MAX 8, on approach to runway 24R at Toronto Pearson International Airport at Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as WJA658 (WestJet Airlines Ltd.) from Calgary, Alberta.
Having not operated its fleet of MAX 8s since March 13, 2019, when Transport Canada grounded the type, WestJet placed them back into service on January 21, 2021.

Sunday morning on London's Fleet Street. Beautiful day and very quiet. Spotted these two cyclists speeding down the road and tried to catch a shot. I love London.
Die Hamburger Fleete sind zum Teil aus den Mündungsarmen von Alster und Bille in die Elbe hervorgegangen, die dann zur Entwässerung und als Stadtgräben zur Verteidigung genutzt wurden; zum anderen Teil wurden sie als weitere Überlaufgräben der später aufgestauten Alster angelegt. Schließlich dienten die Fleete zunehmend dem Warenverkehr.
As I share this it was over 60 degrees and rain here in New England, nearly a record for this date and decidedly unholiday like. So let's go back a few years and share another pic from my last week as a resident of the 49th State.
On the third week of December 2017 the ARRC dispatched a pair of geeps with Spreader 9 to work north winging out sidings over the course of several days. Frank Keller and I got an early start out of Anchorage and headed north on the desolate Parks Highway to meet up with the train just south of Broad Pass. We'd spend the entire day shooting the train working in subzero temps along only a dozen mile stretch of railroad. Although, in fairness on the day after winter solstice a 'full day' only amounts to just over 4 1/2 hrs between sunrise and sunset here at about 63 degreees north latitude!
The 'fleet' is seen here blasting north in a swirl of powder south of Broad Pass siding somewhere around MP 302. In just another 10 miles or so at aptly named Summit they will crest the highest point on the entire Alaska Railroad at the Northern Continental Divide (the watershed between the Arctic and Pacific Oceans). Considering that this wide valley (hence the name) is where the railroad crosses the Alaska Range, home of 20,310 ft Denali only 60 miles distant, it is utterly remarkable that the crest is only 2363 ft above sea level!

A quartet of potent GP60 series EMDs pull a hot intermodal train eastbound at mile post 420, just west of Seligman, Arizona.
On this icy gray winter morning the Alaska Railroad dispatched a "snow fleet" work extra consisting of GP40-2s 3008 and 3006 pushing Harsco/Jordan Spreader 9 south to Portage to begin opening up the railroad to Seward. The southern end of the ARR's mainline had been out of service since the last coal train ran but was being prepped for some lumber trains from Seward later in the month. There is no snow to move here as they wind along Turnagain Arm near MP 82.5 just north of Rainbow Siding but in 25 or so miles they will be deep into it cleaning the pass through the Kenai Mountains over Grandview Summit.
The skies would clear a little later and I'd capture one of my all time favorite Alaska Railroad shots. If you missed it you can see it here: flic.kr/p/2i5vxs9

This photograph taken inside the Wisconsin Central’s diesel shop at North Fond du Lac shows two recent arrivals getting a mechanical check-over before being added to their then rapidly expanding fleet of SD45s.
The WC had already purchased 21 of these big EMDs from the Santa Fe in 1993, but due to increasing traffic levels they found it necessary to add more power in late 1994 into early 1995.
The ATSF 5327 would become the WC 6599 and the ATSF 5400 the WC 6629. – The additional road units that came to the WC from the ATSF this time around included 33 SD45s, 6 F45s and the one FP45. - September 6th, 1994 ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
The Manorway Fleet runs from nowhere in particular to somewhere else. It’s fortunes are inextricably linked to the nearby River Thames and prevailing weather, but it was certainly glorious this morning.
Somewhere in this scene should be a small black dog, but don’t strain your eyes too much looking for him….

The three stars at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia: the 1902 cast-iron tug, Jupiter; the USS Olympia, hero of the Spanish-American War, and the barque Moshulu, a floating restaurant, all moored near where William Penn landed in his "greene country towne." The tug gets to roam around for periodic parades and rides; the others are permanently fixed in place.
My 1983 Ford Sierra 1.6 L
The 'biege thing' we call it. The project Sierra has sat for a month if not more being unused. Most set backs have been due to a limited parts supply. Despite sitting, the Sierra bursts into life with every key turn, it's much more eager than my low mileage example. Running lumpy when cold, once warmed up the engine is fantastic - it's definitely a car that wants to live.
There's a question mark over what to do with the beige Sierra. Now that the red Sierra wants for a couple hundred pounds thrown at it, I feel it should receive my immediate attention instead in order to preserve its condition. Whist financially doable, if push comes to shove I may sell this car - of course, most reluctantly. This car is in no way replaceable..
In an ideal world I think I'd like to push this into a garage and return to it in a year when I'm not juggling Uni, my new job, what to do with the Getz and putting money into the red Sierra instead.

The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene
The fenland parish of Fleet sits in the south Lincolnshire fens just off the busy A17 trunk road and about 8 miles east of the market town of Spalding. At nearly 12 miles long but only 2 miles at it's widest, the settlement filtered northwards as land was reclaimed from this former tidal inlet. Once surpassing Spalding in population and wealth, Fleet was the focus of Templar activities in medieval times with a yearly fair and vigorous market for centuries.
The Grade I listed Anglican church, dating from the late 12th century, is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. The 120 feet church tower with spire is like many medieval fenland churches and is detached from the nave by 15 feet. The exterior is mainly Decorated in style, with Early English arcades and a Perpendicular west window. According to Cox (1916), the church was restored in 1860, when the chancel was rebuilt, although the canopied sedilia was retained.
Another shot of The Fleet, this time looking east towards Portland and with Chessil Beach across the water on the right. The Dorset Coast Path which I was walking runs along the top of the bank on the left.
