Stay safe everyone…

The headland closes on the north the gulf of Naples. The harbour and the lake was the major base of the Roman imperial fleet.
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.
Pillar Port Harbor, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.
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.
Red Fleet State Park lies at an elevation of 5,500 feet (1,700 m) in northeastern Utah, immediately south of the Uinta Mountains.
The climate is arid with hot summers and cold winters. Surrounded by red slick rock formations, the park got its name from three large Navajo sandstone outcrops that look like a fleet of ships as they jut up from the reservoir.
Das Herrengrabenfleet ist ein Fleet in der Hamburger Innenstadt.
Von 1475 bis 1547 wurde zum Schutz des damaligen Stadtgebiets (dem heutigen Stadtteil Hamburg-Altstadt entsprechend) vor die Stadtgräben des 13. und 14. Jahrhunderts eine neue Befestigungslinie mit Wällen und Gräben gezogen. So wurde 1499 der „Herrengraben“ als äußerer Verteidigungsgraben (Stadtgraben) vor der Stadtmauer des Spätmittelalters, dem Neuen Wall, angelegt. Auf der Innenseite war der Neue Wall vom heutigen Alsterfleet gesäumt.[1] Der Name Herrengraben soll auf das alleinige Fischerei-Nutzungsrecht der Ratsherren (Senatsmitglieder) zurückgehen.
1546 wurde der Herrengraben verbreitert und nordöstlich durch das Bleichenfleet verlängert, das bis fast an die Binnenalster heranreichte. Die Verteidigungslinie wurde 1625 nach Westen verlegt und durch die Hamburger Wallanlagen ersetzt. 1765 wurde das Fleet zu einem 25 Meter breiten Kanal ausgeweitet, vertieft und mit der Elbe verbunden.[1]
Das Gebiet zwischen Herrengraben, Bleichenfleet und Alsterfleet wird heute „Fleetinsel“ genannt, wenngleich es im eigentlichen Sinne keine Insel ist.[2] Der Altbaubestand dieses Gebiets ist eines der letzten nicht zerstörten Ensembles der für Hamburg typischen Kontorhäuser. Die Speichergebäude aus dem 17. bis 19. Jahrhundert konnten direkt vom Wasser aus beliefert werden, die Schreibstuben der Kontore lagen in den repräsentativen Gebäudeteilen zur Admiralitätstraße. Seit Ende der 1980er Jahre ist die Fleetinsel ein Zentrum des Hamburger Kunstmarkts: Neben zehn Galerien für zeitgenössische Kunst sind auch Kunstbuchhandlungen und Ateliers angesiedelt.

A pod of pelicans—as many as 20 American white pelicans have been hanging out in our small backyard lake for the last couple months.
The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen
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.
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.
A really nice little loop of Fleet Pond. Just avoided the rain and chatted to a couple of nice old ladies. Happy day's for a Friday.
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!

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.
Eel fleet dyke mill near Potter Heigham in the distance.
Most of these mills were erected to help drain the low-lying marshes. These mills were wind powered, construction dates range from the late 1700's to the late 1800's. Electrically operated pumps are used these days.
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.
