At La Push beach, looking on to James Island with Little James Island on the far right. Also, if you look at the little blip dead center between the two middle seastacks, that is Gunsight Rock (a separate island). This weekend, I got a primitive cabin on this beach for really cheap; great deal considering your view and what's around in just a short drive.
Calmed the Pacific Ocean enough to almost be smooth. Single Image, 8 minute exposure with the B+W110 which actually should have been a little longer since I had to pull a lot of the foreground water from darkness. Doing these long exposures can be a challenge of your patience considering I like to move around and get different points of views all within the time frame of sunset. Anyways, thanks for viewing and your comments!
From Wiki:
James Island is an island at the mouth of the Quillayute River near La Push, Washington, reportedly named either for Francis W. James, the first white man to climb the island in 1885, though the Origin of Washington Geographic Names attributes the naming to a Quileute chief named Jimmie Howeshatta. Until the second half of the 19th century, the island was the site of a fortified village. After this, it was used as a site for growing crops for residents of the mainland, as well as a burial site for tribal chiefs. At 160 feet (49 m) in height, the island was also used as a lookout for spotting whales. The island was formerly a sea stack, connected to the mainland, until the US Army Corps of Engineers rerouted the Quillayute River, separating it. No people outside of the Quileute tribe are allowed on the island.
Haven't upload in ages again, got a lot of stuff to get through as usual! Hahah I can't keep up!
Anyway, here's one from last year that never got published at bar beach skatepark, this guy shredded and was super nice. He ended up stacking pretty hard after I asked him for one more photo and he hid the pain until we saw him limping up the road on the way home! Hahaha

Our Daily Challenge - James Bond.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year in 2023 !!
We have a DVD collection of the 007 series... photo taken on Samsung A71 mobile phone, of my computer screen, with selection of DVDs.
The James Bond series focuses on a fictional British Secret Service agent created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in twelve novels and two short-story collections...
The films are one of the longest continually running film series and have grossed over US$7.04 billion in total at the box office, making it the fifth-highest-grossing film series to date, which started in 1962 with Dr. No, starring Sean Connery as Bond.

My nephew James. Just some pictures I snapped while I was wandering around with a camera in my hand.
Barque James Craig is rightly famous around the world. She is Sydney’s only 19th Century square rigger (or Tall Ship) and her incredible restoration to full sailing condition was recognised in 2003 by the World Ship Trust’s award of their prestigious Maritime Medal. Her restoration cost almost $A30 million and took nearly 40 years to complete after she was rescued from Recherche Bay in far southern Tasmania.
This beautiful ship regularly goes to sea with up to 80 passengers and is open for public inspection at her berth at Wharf 7, 58 Pirrama Road, Pyrmont. She is also available for charter and for functions.
I was talking with Steve on the southwest corner of Washington and Wells and James came up to us and we started talking too. James knew Steve, since they were on the same corner in different spots. He's been homeless for about five years. He was a very positive guy. At the moment, he's waiting to get his ID, and then he's going to talk with some temp agencies about work. "I'm a jack-of-all-trades". Regarding his current situation, "I was climbing the ladder (in life and the work world), and then I got pulled down...my parents said life would be tough, but 'when you fall down, get back up!'"

Soph and I just got home from the beautiful wedding of my flickr pal James to the lovely Lyndsay.
The wedding was on Lynds' parent's farm property in Victoria, about 8.5 hours drive from where Soph and I live. The time and location made for a wonderful wedding packed with fantastic photo opportunities (the only thing us rabid photographers think about!). I was only the backup photographer so I didn't get too much of a chance to go nuts but these were taken in the rare moments I had with either James and the groomsmen or his new bride!
Soph and I had a great time, well worth the 17 hours of driving! It's now most definitely time for sleep!

In three voyages, Cook sailed thousands of miles across largely uncharted areas of the globe. He mapped lands from New Zealand to Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean in greater detail and on a scale not previously achieved. As he progressed in his voyages of discovery, he surveyed and named features, and recorded islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time. He displayed a combination of seamanship, superior surveying and cartographic skills, physical courage, and an ability to lead men in adverse conditions. (Wiki)
We went to the Aquarium this morning and James made a new friend. Thankfully his friend had just eaten breakfast!

A shot of me in my office at Noltex Truss in Littlefield, TX. (Used the 12 second timer with the camera on a tripod.)

U.S. Route 466 was a highway which ran roughly 500 miles from Kingman, Arizona to Moro Bay, California…as it passed through Las Vegas, Nevada, it traveled along Fremont Street before turning south at Las Vegas Blvd… Following the route which basically today is Interstate 15, once it reached Barstow, Ca., it took a hard right and headed west along what is now Ca. State Highway SR 58 over the Tehachapi and through Bakersfield…it was on Hwy 466 where today the junction is listed as SR 41 & SR 46, James Dean was traveling a wee bit too fast in his Porsche and lost his life in 1955… (He had just received a speeding ticket from the highway patrol about an hour earlier on Hwy 99)…
Which follows the old adage, SPEED KILLS…

James Monroe (1758 – 1831) was the 5th President of the United States, serving between 1817 and 1825. Not well-known today, here are some incredible facts about him:
- He was the last president who was a Founding Father of the US.
- He was a delegate in the Continental Congress.
- He served as a Senator of the First United States Congress and as a Governor of Virginia.
- He was a diplomat in France when he helped negotiate the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
- During the War of 1812, Monroe was both Secretary of State and Secretary of War under President James Madison.
- He won over 80% of the electoral vote in 1816 to become the last president of the First Party System era of American politics.
- He won near-unanimous reelection in 1820.
- As president, he bought Florida from Spain.
- The Capital of Liberia, Africa, is named after him (Monrovia).
- He arranged the Treaty of 1819 which secured the border of the United States with Canada along the 42nd Parallel all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
- His "Monroe Doctrine" opposed any European claim to any territory in the lands of the Americas.
But these accomplishments almost didn't happen because of what you see here....For before he did all these accomplishments, he almost lost his life right here during the Battle of Trenton.
A Lieutenant in the 3rd Virginia Regiment, Monroe was among General George Washington's army as it crossed over the Delaware river and marched through a Nor'easter snow storm north and then on to Trenton to attack the Hessians. Along the way, the soldiers were spotted by a young patriot doctor, John Riker. Riker volunteered to lend his medical skills to the army for the battle.
As the Americans approached, the Hessians put several of their artillery pieces in action to pour grapeshot into the Americans marching down towards the homes they had commandeered. Knowing that this would slow the assault (seen here), after a volley of artillery fire, Lieutenant Monroe and General Washington's cousin, Captain William Washington and their men rushed to seize the guns before they could fire.
This is the scene depicted here. The officer in royal blue coat in the center is Lieutenant James Monroe, and Captain Washington is to his left.
Both young officers were severely wounded in the action. Captain Washington was badly wounded in both hands, and young Lieutenant Monroe was carried from the field bleeding badly after he was struck in the left shoulder by a musket ball, which severed an artery. It would be the young volunteer doctor, John Riker who clamped the artery, keeping him from bleeding to death and saving the life of a man who would go on to achieve so much in politics both as a Virginian and on the national stage as a future President.
