The European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC), also known as the Aberdeen Bay Wind Farm is an offshore wind test and demonstration facility located around 3 kilometres off the east coast of Aberdeenshire, in the North Sea, Scotland. It was developed by the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre consortium. The scheme is relatively small - it consists of 11 wind turbines with an installed capacity of 93.2 megawatts. It is located between Blackdog and Bridge of Don near Aberdeen. First power was generated in July 2018, with full commissioning following in September 2018

Offshore Magheroarty, County Donegal, Ireland
This little island of Inishbofin, meaning (Island of the white cow) lays just off shore Magheraroarty strand. There are very few permanent inhabitants living here & has no shops or pubs etc. But what this island lacks in modernism, it certainly makes up for in nature by having 2 stunning sandy cove beaches side by side! Just imagine this…. if you were sunbathing here you could use one beach early in the day, then later when the sun moves west you could simply walk over to the opposite beach & still enjoy the stunning sea view in the warm sun. The greatest part is that you would possibly have these beaches to yourself all day
In the distant horizon can be seen the ‘Derryveagh mountain chain’ also known as the ‘seven sisters’ due to its seven peaks. This range starts with 'Muckish Mountain' on the left & ends with 'Errigal Mountain' on the right. Between the island & this mountain chain can be seen yet another stunning sandy strand named 'Magheraroarty Beach’ on 'Ballyness Bay'
As you can see from my photo this landscape speaks for itself with its sheer number of sandy beaches, mountains & islands all along this north Donegal shore. I don’t know your thoughts? But there’s nowhere else on earth id rather be on a sunny day ☀️

Songs and Calls
Sharp kick; when disturbed, a shrill kreek.
FamilyGulls and Terns
HabitatFresh marshes, lakes; in migration, coastal waters. For nesting favours fresh waters with extensive marsh vegetation and open water, also sometimes in smaller marshes and wet meadows. In migration found on larger lakes and along coast. Winters in tropical coastal regions, mostly just offshore or around salt lagoons and estuaries.
A small, graceful marsh tern, black and silver in breeding plumage. In its choice of surroundings, it leads a double life: in North America in summer it is a typical bird of freshwater marshes, but in winter it becomes a seabird along tropical coasts. Vulnerable to loss of marsh habitat, its numbers have decreased in many areas during recent decades.
Feeding Behaviour
Forages in flight, dipping to surface of water or shore to pick up items, sometimes pursuing flying insects in the air, seldom plunging into water after prey.
Eggs
2-4. Pale buff to olive, blotched with brown and black. Incubation is by both sexes, 21-22 days. Young: Develop rapidly; after 2-3 days, may leave nest but remain in vegetation nearby. Capable of flight 19-25 days after hatching; may be fed by parents for up to two more weeks. One brood per year, sometimes two in south.

Diet
Mostly insects, fish. Diet on breeding grounds is mostly insects, also small fish, tadpoles, frogs, spiders, earthworms, crustaceans, leeches. In migration and winter at sea, eats mostly small fish, also some crustaceans and insects.
Nesting
Breeds in scattered colonies, often associated with Forster's Terns. Early in season, pairs or small groups ascend in spiralling high flight above colony, then glide down. Nest site is low in marsh, on floating mat of plant material, on old muskrat house or debris, or on ground close to water. Nest (built by both parents) may be substantial platform of marsh plants, or simple depression with a few bits of vegetation added, very close to water level; eggs often damp.
I love the skies out here this time of year as they never loose their colour on a clear night. Orange for half the horizon and moon light dancing off the waves on the other half. Pretty stunning place to work.

As shown on the Weather Channel that day - nice to know that they follow twitter and are prepared to chase up to get permission.

The USS Iowa as seen from the Harbor Breeze tour boat, 2012.
The Iowa was anchored three miles out from the San Pedro harbor. There, crews scrubbed the ship's hull to remove any invasive species or contaminants before it was permanently anchored at Berth 87 in the port of Los Angeles.

It's now almost exactly 2 months since we moved back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and San Francisco seems a lifetime ago! This was shot at the Sutro Baths, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The interesting offshore rock formations and abandoned structures coupled with SF's foggy/cloudy weather make this a fantastic spot for long exposure photography. I had a pretty productive outing here 2 months ago so I should have a couple more images to come.
We're still nowhere near settled but we're getting there and I'm just starting to get back into shooting again. I hope to have some new, local material shortly! Hope you're all doing well!
A misty day did not enhance views across the Solent from Browndown, Gosport and the Isle of Wight is barely discernible in the background. I imagined that this unidentified sailing ship might have emerged from history although a closer examination revealed a very modern RIB attached to the stern of the vessel. My original shots tended to emphasise how the conditions sucked the colour of out of the subject whereas b&w serves to set a mood. A heavy crop is one of several experiments I tried before posting only two pictures from my series.

This is the offshore Princess Amalia Wind Farm (Prinses Amaliawindpark in Dutch) in the Dutch exclusive economic zone of the North Sea. Prior to its official opening on June 4th 2008, it was known as the Q7 Wind Farm. It’s the second offshore wind farm in the Netherlands (in 2017 there are 4 off shore wind farms).
The wind farm lies approximately 23 km west of the village of Egmond aan Zee, in the North Sea. It consists of 60 Vestas V80 2 MW wind turbines. That results in an installed capacity of 120 MW – maximum or peak capacity that is. The wind turbines can supply approximately 435 GWh of electricity each year, which is enough to power 125,000 households. With this wind farm 225,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions are avoided annually.
Each turbine rests on steel monopile foundation in water with depths of 19 to 24 meters. The monopile or steel tower has a diameter of about 4 meters at its base and a length over 50 meters. The rotor hub sits 60 meters above sea level and the blades are 40 meters long. The whole construction weighs 320 tonnes and is driven 30 meters into the seabed.
Technical stuff
This time this part is a bit boring, as this photo almost comes straight out of the camera. I converted the RAW file with PS CC. I further fiddled a little with the curves tool and balanced the toning.
Ok this one isn't from our walk around but from our earlier boat trip but it does give a feel for the lie of the land on the island. I also liked the big cloud!
Trident 32928 which must be likely withdrawal candidate when the Enviro500s arrive, on Offshore Europe shuttle work. First are mainly using the Tridents on their city centre run.
A sudden localised rain shower blew in from out at sea, turning the bay milky green, and soaking unprepared walkers on the coastal footpath.
