Distinctive Kimberley colours and geology as the afternoon sun drops over the Ord River valley in north Western Australia.
What I enjoy about this one is the perspective, reflections, b/w floor contrasts, and early morning sun angle.
A beastly embedded supercell approaches the town of Ord, Nebraska back on June 1st, 2018. It was pretty amazing to see this form out of a big messy line of convection and it actually dropped a brief tornado north of town just about 15 minutes after this.
FORT ORD, MONTEREY, CA -- The largest building at Fort Ord. This decommissioned base is undergoing redevelopment so fast it makes your head spin.
Porth Meudwy is a small cove at the tip of the Llŷn Peninsula that was once the embarkation point for pilgrims making the journey to Bardsey Island. It was said that three pilgrimages to Bardsey equalled one to Rome.
Today it still serves as the departure point for your visit to the island and as a small port for the handful of local fishermen who make their living catching crab and lobster in the waters around Aberdaron.
This old Ford Tractor used to help the boats in and out of the water is a bit of relic of the past.
Looking into one of four solitary confinement cells at the abandoned Fort Ord stockade.
First hand account from John Bobb, who worked at the Prison in 1966 when he was just 19). (Source: Bearings.)
"There were 4 solitary confinement cells. I don't know what you had to do to get in one, and I didn't work inside, so don't have any stories. What I do remember is that the duration was for 14 days. Your laces and belt were taken from you. There was a bare bulb in the ceiling, and a small opening in the door, and you had to stand in that door every hour on the hour, 24 hours a day, for 14 days, and recite you name rank and serial number. There was no furniture except a place to go to the bathroom, and some boards chained to the wall. You were allowed to put these boards down for 7 hours each night. You had no pillow, and one army blanket. breakfast consisted of one bowl of cornflakes, no milk. One glass of water, and four pieces of white bread no butter. Lunch and dinner were the same. One bowl of stewed tomatoes, one glass of water, and 4 pieces of white bread, no butter. I understand that if a Doctor said you were fit, they could leave you out for one day, and make you do another 14."

Ord | Isle Of Skye | Scotland
Some fascinating rocky outcrops at this location over on the south of Skye, the textures and green lichen are truly superb. Whilst a dull day the low hanging cloud made for a good atmospheric scene

Former Fort Ord, Monterey County, Ca.
Took a little trip to the former Fort Ord today. This place is immense, and at its peak had as many as 50,000 soldiers stationed there. Though many buildings have been demolished, there are still hundreds of buildings and structures left, with most being allowed to rot. Since the base was closed in 1994, much of the land has been repurposed. The biggest change is probably the establishment of the California State University Monterey Bay.
To see all of the decaying facilities is to get just a bit of a hint of the immense amount of blood and treasure our country has wasted in pursuits of warfare. It should be visited by more people. (No trespassing signs everywhere make it difficult.) And, as immense as this place is, it is only a microcosm of all the waste involved in human bellicosity.
Plying the rails of Union Pacific’s former Ord Branch, Nebraska Central’s Ord Job plods east along the bank of the North Loup River near Scotia, NE. Headed back to Grand Island, the train only remaining work the train has is a customer on the north side of St. Paul, twenty or so miles further down the railroad.
Thank you for making time to look at my stream! Here are some more compositions you think are interesting!. Thanks and enjoy!

This view is taken from somewhere along the Kelly's Knob walking track in Kununurra in the far north of Western Australia. It looks across a section of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme which enabled opening up huge tracts of farmland, but with limited success. From memory the crops growing in this view are a mix of sugar cane (since abandoned as a failure) and mango orchards. I think there is still some sugar cane grown, as Kununurra is home to a fine distillery that is still operating, and I have fond memories of a bottle of Ord River rum being added to our car's essential supplies!
