I took this photo 11 years ago on a trip to Oregon. It's still one of my favorites. Happy Waterfall Wednesday.
Trzebiatów (German: Treptow an der Rega,) is a town in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland.It has 10200 inhabitants. The lower Rega area around Greifenberg and Treptow was settled by immigrants of German language in the 1250s, and settling reached a peak in the 1280s, but here a native Slavic population participated. At this time Treptow was part of the Duchy of Pomerania, which was a component state within the Holy Roman Empire since 1180. In 1504, Johannes Bugenhagen moved to Treptow and became Rector of the local school. Though he had not studied theology, he was ordained as a priest in Treptow's St. Mary's Collegiate Church in 1509, and served as a vicar at the Kanonikerkolleg of that church thereafter. On December 13, 1534, a Landtag was assembled in town, where the Dukes Barnim XI of Pomerania-Stettin and Philip I of Pomerania-Wolgast as well as the nobility officially introduced Lutheranism to Pomerania, against the vote of Erasmus von Manteuffel, Prince-Bishop of Cammin. In the following month Bugenhagen drafted the new church order (Kirchenordnung), founding the Pomeranian Lutheran church, today's Pomeranian Evangelical Church. As a dowager, Sophia of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg (1579–1658), widow of Philip II, Duke of Pomerania, lived in Treptow. Sophia's dower was a former nunnery, which she converted into a palace. While in Swedish service and thereafter Duke Francis Henry of Saxe-Lauenburg spent a lot of time with Duchess dowager Sophia in Treptow. Sophia's and Francis Henry's fathers were cousins. On 13 December 1637 Francis Henry and Marie Juliane of Nassau-Siegen (1612–1665) married in Treptow. Their first child was born in Treptow in 1640. Francis Henry also served Sophia as administrator of the estates pertaining to her dower. When in 1637 with Philip II's death the Pomeranian ducal house was extinct, the duchy was under Swedish occupation with the Brandenburgian electors claiming succession in Pomerania. Not until 1648 the electors prevailed in succeeding as dukes of Pomerania, however, only in the central and eastern part of ducal Pomerania (1653–1815), including Treptow.
In 1750 Treptow Palace was refurbished in classicist style for General Frederick Eugene of Württemberg, who resided there – with interruptions – until 1763. With the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, Brandenburg-Pomerania, already since 1618 ruled in personal union with Ducal Prussia (Kingdom since 1701), also legally merged into Prussia and the different German confederacies and empires, of which it formed part since. In 1945 central and eastern Pomerania, including Treptow, became part of Poland.

A sharp crystal evening, golden sunlight casting long blue shadows. What a joy to arrive in Lower Slaughter and wander along the river with only the ducks, the jackdaws and a few hardy visitors for company. The jackdaws seem at home in the trees along the River Eye, occasionally descending to hop along the rooftops or to peer at discarded bread crumbs with their grey heads at an angle. Slaughter is thought to be a corruption of slohtre, a marshy place. Many visit Bourton on the water fewer travel an extra mile to see Lower Slaughter it’s smaller, quieter but equally picturesque neighbour.
Stone cottages line the north bank of the river with a small green at their centre, this miniature area of grass is known as The Square and has a Gothic drinking fountain as it’s only adornment.The clear stream water is only visible as it eddies round the piers of the low stone bridges that span it’s broad flow. Follow the canalised river to the upper end of the village and you will find a 19th century brick corn mill with white water crashing over the mill race and 15ft water wheel still turning with the flow. On the opposite bank towards the middle of the village are the Village Hall of 1887 and the National School by Edmund B. Ferrey 1871. Near where the road crosses the river the south bank is dominated by large and luxurious-looking hotel.
The church was rebuilt in 1866-7 by Benjamin Ferrey, the design draws on Early English and Geometrical Decorated styles and though it replaced a picturesque medieval building with a saddle-back tower the Victorian design sits well among the more ancient stone buildings that surround it. Only a Transitional Norman north arcade survives with scalloped capitals and waterholding bases joined by pointed double-chamfered arches. The church has a nave with a north aisle, chancel, south porch and a west tower with broached spire the tip of which was replaced in 1998. Elegant black marble shafts ornament the chancel arch but a similar use of marble in Ferrey’s east window was lost when Hoare and Wheeler provided a new east window and an Italian alabaster reredos depicting the Crucifixion in 1910. Next to the altar a 13th century piscina survives from the older church. The stone font and pulpit are part of Ferrey’s design and there are areas of floor tiling by Godwin. The east window has glass by James Powell and Sons and they provided the attractive design in the north aisle. The west window of the north aisle and the west tower window are by Clayton and Bell 1867. Most of the memorials in the church commemorate the Whitmore family who occupied the neighbouring manor House for more than 300 years. The west tower has six bells, one of c.1450 by Robert Hendley of Gloucester inscribed Santa Anna ORA Pro Nobis St.Anne pray for us. Two are dated 1683 by Edward Neale of Burford and three of 1867 by John Warner and Sons of London.
To the north-east of the churchyard is a 16th century dovecote which is said to have held 1000 birds.

The sun was just hitting the leading edge of the cascade and was exactly what I was aiming for in this image. The drop on this leg of the falls, the third of three, is 400 feet.

"Mr Dolf Way.. had built a tower south-west of the scrub for the purpose of watching the movement of fish along the coast....Immediately after World War 11.... the Willunga Council put in a foreshore road to link Pt Willunga to Dolf Way's Tower and a promenade was finally constructed west of the frontal sand-dune." extract from G.E. Gardiner in 'The Aldinga Scrub Conservation Park', Ed. EM Wollaston, 1989, p18.

You can just see Wattle Ave heading east at right angles from the esplanade between the two stobie poles.
This part of the road was later diverted around the back of the dunes toward Norman Road.

With the threat of a German land invasion, gun batteries were placed strategically along the south coast. Brownstone Battery was built at Froward Point above Kingswear in 1940 to protect the Dart Estuary and nearby beaches Slapton and Blackpool Sands. The Battery was manned by up to 300 soldiers.
The Battery has two gun positions. Each housed a six-inch gun, taken from a First World War battleship. The guns had a range of over 14 miles, and 13 men were needed to operate each gun. The men worked on a shift system.
The shells containing high explosives were propelled from the guns by 'charges.' These were either cordite, a silk bag filled with smaller bags of explosive, or a cartridge, a brass cylinder filled with explosive.
At the lower position, a miniature railway was built and the track carried shells down the steep slop from the ammunition store to the gun position. The shells were loaded onto a truck or bogey then freewheeled down with gears controlling the speed. An engine and pulley hoisted the truck back up the slope.
There are two searchlight positions at the battery. The reinforced concrete buildings housed powerful searchlights which scanned the sea for enemy ships. Five men operated each searchlight, working on shifts. Below the searchlights, the whole cliff area was covered in barbed wire.
The Battery was decommissioned in the late 1950s and is now managed by the National Trust.
