Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".

Shrimping starts off the pier the last of July through September according to those I talked to when visiting. This man was trying to catch bait for a fishing trip, but he wasn't young and threw it so much that he had to be tired! I was so excited to see this action and was hoping to catch that net in action against the sun.
No idea why but I always have liked the look of Shrewsbury Sixth Forms rooftops, shapes, textures, colours - nice buildings too.

Inspiration comes in many forms. It doesn't always mean copying styles of work you like. Sometimes it simply opens the doors of perception to new possibilities.
When I was in Melbourne recently I acquired a book of strange photographs by Thomas Neumann (born 1975), a member of the now famous Düsseldorf school of photographers in Germany. This group includes luminaries like Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Thomas Ruff and Thomas Struth. They were trained in the "objectivist" tradition exemplified by their teachers, Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (Dusseldorf Art Academy).
I was so taken with this school of photography, especially for its potential in shooting architecture, that I followed up as much as I could about it. Let me also share a link to this marvellous French production:
The New German Objectivity

But even within this objectivist school you'll see enormous points of difference between each photographer - though inspired by the same ideas. This is what is exciting about photo art. We start with the world as it is and end up with new ways of representation. www.artsy.net/gene/dusseldorf-school-of-photography
Thomas Neumann's book is called The Japanese Series (a perfect objectivist title). Some examples of his work can be seen here at LensCulture: www.lensculture.com/thomas-neumann
Wrapping up my Southern Arizona Adventure 2024 with a visit to Amerind Foundation and Texas Canyon. This is stage 9 of 9.

Formation and composition of rocks
The rocks in Texas Canyon are primarily composed of granite, gneiss, and schist. These rocks were formed through a process of geological metamorphism, which changed their composition and structure over time. Granite is one of the most common types of rock found in the area and is known for its distinctive pink color. Gneiss and schist are also common and are known for their unique textures and patterns.
Erosion and weathering played a significant role in shaping the landscape of Texas Canyon. Over time, the rocks in the area were subjected to intense weathering, which caused them to break down and form the distinctive boulder formations that are found throughout the canyon. Erosion also played a role in shaping the landscape, as the water that flowed through the area created deep gullies and canyons that are still visible today.
Formation of the unique boulder formations
The unique boulder formations in Texas Canyon were formed through a combination of tectonic forces, erosion, and weathering. The rocks in the area were subjected to immense pressure, which caused them to fracture and crack. Over time, the cracks were widened by the forces of erosion, creating the distinctive boulder formations that are found throughout the canyon.

Texas Canyon is a striking natural area located in Cochise County, southeastern Arizona, along Interstate 10 between Benson and Willcox. It is renowned for its dramatic landscape, characterized by massive granite boulders scattered across the desert terrain, creating a rugged and picturesque environment.
The granite boulders in Texas Canyon were formed through millions of years of erosion and weathering. These formations, often precariously balanced, provide a unique and photogenic sight, making the canyon a popular stop for travelers and photographers.

Butterflies of 2023 # 26.
Many wildlife species show variation. This is the valezina form of Silver-washed Fritillary (Argynnis paphia). Records show that around 10% of female Silver-Washed Fritillaries in Dorset are the variant "valezina". Their upper wings are not orange, but a more washed-out colour. Field guides say that the underwings have a pinkish tinge. Perhaps the light has to be just right because that is something I have yet to see for myself. The underwings still retain the green wash and white streaks of the more common orange form of the insect.

Petit-duc maculés | Eastern Screech Owl | Megascops asio
Grand merci à mon comparse observateur de Petits-ducs, Robert Dupont, avec qui je partage de nombreuses heures d'observations et d'échanges sur nos petits protégés, il m'aura rapidement avisé en cette fin d'après-midi de cette présence inusité du couple au no 24. Ce sont nos observations communes et en solo, de part et d'autres, agrémentés à l'occasion par celles de Michel Paquin qui alimentent en bonne partie mes Chroniques d'Angrignon.
Une vision fabuleuse...
J'y avais fait une tournée matinale en ce lieu ce jour-là, seule Barbara trônait alors, telle une reine, sur cette grande cavité. J'aurai donc accouru rapidement dès que Robert m'eut avisé de sa fabuleuse vision... Il observait en cet fin d'après-midi Barbara et Fernando, ensemble au no 24. Rare vision! À ma connaissance il s'agit que de la troisième fois qu'une telle vision est observée à Angrignon. Après celle de Amandine et Victor, captée notamment par Michel le 21 janvier 2016 et de celle de Odi et Shannon captée par moi-même le 17 mars 2017, voilà que l'ami Robert aura eu sa propre vision en observant Barbara et Fernando dans une telle position en ce 30 janvier 2020.
Cette semaine-là avait fort bien commencé, Robert avait observé lors d'une de ses tournées une paire d'aigrettes de Petit-duc à peine visible tout au fond du no 23. Le lendemain de cette observation j'ai à mon tour vu ce Petit-duc dans la même position. C'était la première fois que j'étais en mesure d'observer un Petit-duc en ce trou. Ce trou où Michel et Robert avait découvert un Fernando juché en ses abords dans les toutes premières semaines où nous avons fait la rencontre de ce bel hiboux si généreux de sa présence au printemps dernier. À l'examen de mes images on peut présumer qu'il s'agissait cette fois-ci de Barbara, absente ce jour-là au no 24. Elle avait été d'ailleurs observée par Marty Swindells le 26 octobre dernier en ce no 23 (voyez-en ici une image). Le lendemain Michel a retrouvé Fernando au lieu de Barbara à son habituel trou le no 24, lui chantant même une sérénade, à voir ici. Ainsi nous retrouvions Fernando pour la première fois depuis la nichée de juin dernier...
Et cette remarquable semaine ce sera terminée par ce cadeau que seule la nature à l'occasion peut nous donner, retrouver un couple de Petit-duc ensemble dans la même cavité... Encore merci Robert. Ce retour nous permettait enfin de confirmer la présence en ce début d'année 2020 des trois couples nicheurs du printemps dernier. Avec l'observation confirmée de Béatrice et Bobby aux alentours du no 20 et de la grande découverte récente de Robert du beau rouquin Roméo (il fera l'objet de ma prochaine Chronique) et de sa Juliette, observée, quant à elle, perchée non loin du trou de son bel oiseau au crépuscule du jour, nous voilà donc en présence pour le prochain printemps d'un potentiel de cinq nichées au parc, où à tout le moins dans ses alentours. À nouveau Angrignon se surpasse et sait encore nous surprendre!
Voici trois images de ce mémorable moment captées difficilement de part l'ampleur de cette enchevêtrement de branches de Vigne vierge (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) qui entourent et étouffent littéralement l'arbre abritant cette grande cavité en forme de cuve d'où nous aurons pu apercevoir les tourtereaux en cette avant-dernière journée de janvier 2020.
One of the purest form on the planet earth is found here in the vastness of Greenland .there are still great stretches of coast which have never yet been approached by a surface vessel . This is a photo from Rypefjord East Greenland , and our schooner below .Aerail capture from an old drone in terms of quality with today . The scale of wilderness of Greenland is difficult to comprehend. ‘there’s nothing for miles and miles but miles and miles.”Rassmunsen was the only explorer to believe that the traverse has to be done from the East, across the Northwest Passage by dog sled. The Greenlandic anthropologist , together with his two crew mates, a woman called Arnarulunguak and a young man called Qaavigarsuak, left Greenland in 1921 on his fifth and by far the most ambitious Thule expedition. It was a three years dog sledding expedition across Arctic Canada and Alaska to Eastern Siberia. A big thank you to everyone who took time to comment and take a look at my photo. Much appreciated!

One of the shots form mine and mikeys last trip out before his school starts again on Monday. Hopefully you will be seeing more stuff from him, although he is suffering from orbers finger at the minute. Thanks go to Wes Whaley for the insperation of the circle maker. Please check out his stuff, a master at work.
(taken on one exposure, no additions after the exposure. I will adjust levels, saturation, white balance, brightness and some minor cropping if required.)
Buds are forming now, this one will bloom early May. I love to watch the Rhododendron buds in Fall and Winter, they are so promising of color and seem example of vigor.
When I first came to Portland, Oregon it was end of December, early January and I was seeing so many Rhododendrons everywhere, I was amazed especially watching the buds, and they did not fail to enchant once they started blooming.
This one is red and beautiful, got some damage during hot Summers the last several years but coming back beautifully.
I have Four different ones, one has never done very well where tt is planted, and I have a really large pink one, and a semi large lavender one. Depending on the type, like Camellias they can be blooming all through the year.
So, I have photo number one and photo number two, I could not decide which one I like more, which one do you like more :)
please see large :)
Another shot form my low key experimentation the other night.

The Oystercatcher
The Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.
I made a new LoH team today! I’ve been playing a bit of Terraria lately and I discovered that, in game, there are three forms of combat: magic, melee, and ranged weapons. Using those three criteria, I made three new heroes to join the ranks of the Saviors. L to R
Mage- A sorcerer with an assortment of magic rods, spell books, and talismans to attack enemies and defend himself.
Gladiator- (heavily inspired by Roman) A fearless warrior with lightweight yet incredibly dense armor and two double edged swords. The swords can sever objects with ease.
Firearm- A tech genius with twin machine guns and a jet pack that can fly for short distances. He named his guns “Obliterate” and “Decimate”.
What do y’all think? Stay Awesome

The Dissolution of all Forms
How are we decoupling from the modernist grand dream?
Metamodernist discussion by artist JJFBbennett
We were the grand Modernist dream: an architecture of logic, forged in steel and sequential gears. We believed that if we built the machine perfectly, we could grind reality into absolute order. The systems grew too dense, the data too interconnected, and the grand narratives too rigid. We didn't break under the weight; we dissolved.
It is not a violent destruction, but a profound release. The solid form is falling asleep, and the diffuse network is waking up.
We have moved beyond the machine. To survive the saturation of the modern world, we had to become the cloud—ubiquitous, ambiguous, and free. The structure is gone, but the consciousness remains, finding its true resilience not in the armour, but in the mist.

I was going through some photos from last month, you know the ones, sitting there in a folder, waiting to be looked at and processed when I happened upon this one.
I do not know how I missed it on the first round, because this is a gorgeous portrait.
I'm not sure what it is, the pose, the smile, the composition... whatever it is, I love it and am kicking myself for not seeing it sooner!
She has a classic air about her here, even with the cheese and crackers in her hand. I love it, what a gem to be hidden in a folder!
This was jammed between a bunch of blurry photos, so I think I snapped this when I was showing my cousin's son how to use my camera.
I had bribed him with camera time if he would pose with his baby sister, he held up his end of the bargain so I handed over the camera, forgetting I had everything on manual settings.
He quickly returned and asked for a lesson, so I flipped things to auto and I think this must have been what I shot to show him where the buttons were, I wasn't even thinking about the photo at the time, just teaching him how to use the camera.
Funny how things work out that way sometimes.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
