Remnants of an old pier, the only visual remains of a once booming, Salmon canning industry.
Dating back to the turn of the century.
Washington (State)--Point Roberts
Well over a hundred years ago, this would have been a busy fishing port.
Today, we can only imagine the sights of the heavily loaded fishing vessels tied up alongside this pier, and the hardworking employees bustling the catch of the day, up and down the pier.
On the horizon you will have left USA waters and entered Canadian waters, BC Canada

Point Roberts is a pene-exclave of the United States on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The area, which had a population of 1,314 at the 2010 census, is reached by land by traveling 25 mi (40 km) through Canada. It is a census-designated place (CDP) in Whatcom County, Washington with a post office, and a ZIP Code of 98281. Direct sea and air connections with the U.S. are available across Boundary Bay.
Point Roberts was created when the United Kingdom and the United States settled the Pacific Northwest American-Canadian border dispute in the mid-19th century with the Oregon Treaty. Both parties agreed the 49th parallel would delineate both countries' territories, but they overlooked the small area that incorporates Point Roberts (south of the 49th parallel). Questions about ceding the territory to the United Kingdom and later to Canada have been raised since its creation but its status has remained unchanged.

El embalse de El Atazar es el mayor de la Comunidad de Madrid: con una capacidad de 425,3 hm³, representa el 46% del volumen embalsado de la región. Fue construido en 1972, siendo una de las obras más importantes de la dictadura de Francisco Franco. Es el quinto embalse en el sentido de la corriente que se encuentra el río Lozoya a su paso y pertenece a la red del Canal de Isabel II.

I do not like to photograph people because I always have to seek their permission to do so. These two of my neighbors agreed but on condition that I give them those photos. It was a very fun experience. First they posed by leaving their shovels and standing side by side,serious as in church . When I shot them the way they wanted, I showed them the photos and they were pleased. Then I asked them if they allowed me to shoot their tools and they continued to work on making concrete and I was able to shoot them as they worked.
Talking to them, I learned that my neighbors thought I am a weird woman and they call me 'Rambo'. They never know what bush I am hiding behind, passing by they often see me at some strange place, roof, tree or crawling through the grass just like Rambo.
I unsuccessfully explained to them that is a best way to take a good wildlife photos.

Past few days we have done this welding, 12 hours in a day.
It has been really hard for the neck, shoulders and knees, but now its done. What a relief!
Welder in picture is my friend ylli.

Black Swallowtail -ovipositing female- (Papilio polyxenes) Allegany County, Maryland
She never stops moving and fluttering her beautiful wings when she looks for her host plant, touching many and stopping only very briefly to deposit her single egg on the right plant.
Her larvae will only survive and thrive on plants in the parsley and carrot family (Apiaceae). So include parsley, dill, or fennel in your garden and you may be rewarded with her visit and as a bonus you will witness and observe the astonishing life cycle of a butterfly from egg, to larva, to chrysalis and finally the amazing emergence of the beautiful adult.

Seaweed farming is a common activity for women in Zanzibar and other coastal areas in East Africa and it involves cultivating different types of seaweed, primarily for commercial purposes. During low tide, women wade into the shallow waters along the coastline to tend to their seaweed farms. They typically tie small pieces of seaweed to lines or nets anchored to the seabed. These lines are then suspended in the water column, allowing the seaweed to grow and flourish.
They produce excellent Garnacha grapes every year and they are used to make wines at Domaines Lupier, Navarra, Spain. We just tasted them just before harvest.... incredible. And after fermentation... more incredible :-)
While in Nepal for 5 weeks, I got to meet so many wonderful people. I'm amazed at the heavy load this woman carried, and yet she still took time to visit with me. My burdens no longer seem heavy.
This guy who I believe to be in his late 60s is a farmer from a neighboring town. When I initially saw him, he was cutting some tall wild grass on a vacant private lot near the junction of the highway and the road leading to the Subic Shipyard.
Out of my curiosity, I later asked him what he is going to do with the grass that he already cut with a long knife and which he is preparing to transport via his motorcycle taxi. He said that he will feed it to his four female cows and that he came to Subic Town because he could not find any of that kind of grass in any areas near his farm.
Taken in the aforementioned municipality of Subic, Zambales, Philippines.
7th February 2020:
I did it! Not only have I managed to change the dreadful wallpaper, but finally this morning I turned off the S mode.
Since we got our first computer many moons ago, we've always had Windows in French and usually I can navigate between the two languages to do something. But, not knowing Windows 10 couldn't do it in the two.
While on G's laptop yesterday I found a help page in French on how to get out of it, took a photo and uploaded that to my laptop. This morning with Graham reading the instructions in French I finally got out and I'm not going back in!!
Got him onto Google Chrome and installed Malwarebytes and had already got him PhotoScape X. I might get to play with that, if I'm lucky. ;-)
It's taken a week, but at least it's now all done. :O)
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.

Austernfischer***(Eurasian) oystercatcher***Haematopus ostralegus
Bremerhaven, Germany
Austernfischer ernähren sich von verschiedenen Muscheln, aber auch von Schnecken, Krebsen und Wattwürmern.
Austernfischer, die im Binnenland leben, erbeuten hauptsächlich Insekten, Schnecken und Regenwürmer.
Austernfischer sind je nach Gezeiten tag-oder nachtaktiv.
Der lange spitze Schnabel ermöglicht den Austernfischern in Muschelbänken und auf weichem Untergrund die Nahrung gezielt zu greifen.
Oystercatchers feed of different shells, but also by snails, crayfish and wading sentries. Oystercatcher who live inland, eat mainly insects, slugs, and earthworms.
Oystercatchers are diurnal or nocturnal depending on the tides.
The long pointed beak allows the Oystercatcher in shell banks and on soft ground to access the food.
Antsirabe (Madagascar) - Cette photo a été prise très tôt vendredi matin alors que je cherchais, un endroit où prendre un café, ma guest-house ne s'embarrassant pas avec ce genre de service.
J'attendais l'heure d'ouverture devant une boulangerie française qui sert un excellent expresso et de délicieux croissants, quand j'ai vu ce pousse-pousse arriver. J’ai eu le temps de faire un filé.
Tous les matins pousse-pousses et cyclopousses emmènent les enfants à l’école privée. Ceux qui sont scolarisés à l’école publique s’y rendent à pied. Question de pouvoir d’achat. Là, c'était l'un des premiers transports scolaires de la journée.
Je n'ai pas vu en prenant la photo que l'homme était pieds nus. A Madagascar, ce n'est pas rare. Côté empreinte carbone, si on ne tient pas compte des conditions de travail, ce type de transport c’est le top. Mieux que les Amishs ou les cars Macron.
School transportation
Antsirabe (Madagascar) - This photo was taken very early in the morning when I was looking for a place to have a coffee, my guesthouse not bothering with this kind of service.
I was waiting for opening time in front of a French bakery that serves excellent espresso, when I saw this rickshaw arrive. I just had time to shoot.
Every morning rickshaws and cycle rickshaws take the children to private school. Those who attend public schools go there on foot. question of purchasing power. There, it was obviously one of the first school transports of the day.
I did not see when taking the photo that the man was barefoot. In Madagascar, this is not uncommon. On the carbon borrowing side, if we do not take into account working conditions, this type of transport is the best. Better than the Amish.
