My nan ( third from the right) in the girl guides. Photo taken about 1924-1926 at Teignmouth, Devon.
Discussing the best view point with a pleasant trekker.
This image is part of the series "Lappland Moments" and was taken during the Fjällräven Classic 2012.
This light house is very photogenic from all sides. This was a telephoto shot timed to allow the light to illuminate the foreground and wet pathway. Those are the real colors.
It would take hours to capture all the great photographic angles of this site. My compulsions will drag me back for more.
June 6, 1987. Keshia Knight Pulliam of NBC's "The Cosby Show"; Jason Bateman of NBC's "Valerie"; Jeremy Miller of ABC's "Growing Pains."
The side of the carriage reads “City of Cambridge” and it also reads “T. A. Stevens”. This negative came from the Dennis Brearly collection. Dennis Brearley was a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist from Boston.
Image derived from the original glass negative.
A 1986 vintage University Optics 12.5mm wireless guiding eyepiece showing recent unwanted fungus mold growth mostly along the double lines. As an idea of the scale of this image, the double lines are spaced at 0.2mm (200 microns). Astronomers use these eyepieces by manually keeping a guide star in the central box. This allows an attached camera to the telescope to accumulate an image without the object trailing. Image made with a Canon SD1200is set at 3x zoom held in place with a telescope bracket aimed directly into the eyepiece a few mm away. Some Smart sharpening in Photoshop and contrast/brightness adjustments.

Hartland Point Lighthouse
Hartland Point Lighthouse was built by Trinity House in 1874 as a guide to vessels approaching the Bristol Channel
Built: 1874
Height of light above Mean High Water:30 m
Automated:1984
Electrified:1927
Character:Fl (6) 15s
Intensity: 635 candela
Range of light:8 NM
Region: South West
Under the direction of Trinity House’s Engineer-in-Chief Sir James Douglass, the lighthouse was built on a large rock at the tip of the point; the lighthouse was threatened by the undermining action of the sea to such an extent that rock had to be broken from the cliff head behind the lighthouse to fall on the beach and form a barrier against the waves. Unfortunately this procedure had to be repeated at frequent intervals as the deposits were washed away whenever a North Westerly gale coincided with a high spring tide. Eventually it became necessary to construct a permanent barrier, and a sea wall 30 metres long and six metres high was built in 1925.
Prior to automation in 1984 the station was manned by four keepers who lived in dwellings attached to the lighthouse with their families. The dwellings were demolished when the station was demanned in order to allow for the construction of a helipad next to the tower. In 2012 the light was first exhibited from an alternative structure with the lighthouse building remaining a significant daymark.
The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from Trinity House’s Planning Centre in Harwich, Essex.

I was in a library today and saw these new aquisitions side by side...
The word "beatnik" was coined by Herb Caen in an article in the San Francisco Chronicle on April 2, 1958.[11] Caen coined the term by adding the Russian suffix -nik after Sputnik I to the Beat Generation. Caen's column with the word came six months after the launch of Sputnik. Objecting to Caen's twist on the term, Allen Ginsberg wrote to the New York Times to deplore "the foul word beatnik," commenting, "If beatniks and not illuminated Beat poets overrun this country, they will have been created not by Kerouac but by industries of mass communication which continue to brainwash man."
Lexicographer Jesse Sheidlower, the principal American editor of the Oxford English Dictionary, argues that the terms hipster and hippie derive from the word hip, whose origins are unknown.[2] The term hipster was coined by Harry Gibson in 1940.[3] Although the word hippie made isolated appearances during the early 1960s, the first clearly contemporary use of the term appeared in print on September 5, 1965, in the article, "A New Haven for Beatniks", by San Francisco journalist Michael Fallon. In that article, Fallon wrote about the Blue Unicorn coffeehouse, using the term hippie to refer to the new generation of beatniks who had moved from North Beach into the Haight-Ashbury district. New York Times editor and usage writer Theodore M. Bernstein said the paper changed the spelling from hippy to hippie to avoid the ambiguous description of clothing as hippy fashions.

Maasvlakte 2 Rotterdam, The Netherlands
With Maasvlakte 2, the ambition of the Port of Rotterdam Authority is to be a global leader in the field of sustainability. To achieve this ambition, the Port of Rotterdam Authority offers every opportunity to innovative technologies that lead to the sustainable and successful development of the new port and industrial area.
The Port Authority has a long tradition in applying advanced technologies and processes, of which there are ample examples in the current port, including the Euromax-terminal and the innovative communication system Portbase. For Maasvlakte 2, we have raised the bar even higher. We want the new port and industrial area to become the most sustainable and innovative port in the world. Not an unrealistic ambition for a port that has literally been recovered from the sea and where sustainability and innovation can be built into each component.
The Port Authority has set strict requirements in terms of sustainability for companies wishing to locate on Maasvlakte 2. The Port Authority makes clear agreements with the companies about air quality, noise and cleaner hinterland transport, but also about the efficient use (or reuse) of energy, each other's waste heat, waste materials and semi-manufactured products. Companies also recognise the need to tackle environmental problems and seek new forms of sustainable management. In addition, they see opportunities to increase their efficiency. As a result, Maasvlakte 2 is a showcase which demonstrates that sustainability and economic growth are perfectly compatible.
The container terminals on Maasvlakte 2 are the most modern and advanced terminals in the world. The terminals are fully electric, from the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to the quay cranes. The terminal of APM Terminals runs entirely on power generated by wind turbines. At Rotterdam World Gateway, buildings are equipped with thermal storage. The connection with the Betuwe Route has also been taken into consideration: the terminals are ready for the new division of the hinterland transport across the most sustainable transport modes. One of these transport modes is inland shipping, which is why the new terminals are the first with a quay specifically designed for inland vessels.
From Rotterdam, most containers are transported to their destination by truck. This puts considerable pressure on the motorways around Rotterdam and elsewhere. Furthermore, emissions from trucks reduce the air quality. The way transportation to the hinterland is divided between the various transport modes is called the modal split. Through a variety of projects, the Port Authority aims to increase the transport of containers by rail and inland shipping. This redirecting of transport from trucks to trains and inland vessels is called the modal shift. Companies that are allowed to locate on Maasvlakte 2 commit themselves to the imposed modal shift.
An 80-hectare site has been reserved on Maasvlakte 2 to accommodate biochemistry companies. Chemicals based on natural raw materials will be produced here in the future. At the bio-based cluster on Maasvlakte 2, companies can optimally benefit from each other's presence. Together with four partners, the Port Authority is realising Plug & Play facilities in the Bio-based Cluster. Thanks to this initiative, companies do not need to invest individually in the supply of energy, energy networks, tank storage and wastewater, process water and drinking water.
