Dernière étape de ce périple sur la rive nord du Saint-Laurent, la Mauricie, Grandes-Piles et la rivière Saint-Maurice. Les couleurs d'automne sont en déclin et le mauvais temps prend sa place, l'hiver approche!
Bonne Année à tous!
Last step into this journey along the North shore of the St. Lawrence river, la Mauricie, Grandes-Piles and the St. Maurice river. Fall colors are passed their peak, and the bad weather conditions are a precursor to the coming winter.
Happy New Year to all!
A slide restoration, which was almost bleached, but converting it to monochrome has brought the image out.
Local boats during blue hour, moored at the small marina located at the end of the Pitt River before it opens up into the wonderworld of Pitt Lake.
Communities of rustic to luxury cabins are nestled in clusters along the lake's shores.
A whole new world opens up to a pristine tidal lake that is only accessible by boat.
Pitt Lake according to Wikipedia:
Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.

Snow Piles: Dysfunctionality
Rotunda of St. Prokop in Strzelno is the largest Romanesque temple in Poland built on a circular plan. The record in Jan Długosz's chronicles dates 16 March 1133, but archival research indicates the simultaneous completion of the rotunda and the nearby Norbertan church (the beginning of the 13th century).
The building was made of granite stone piles, with later brick elements. To the rotunda, which acts as a nave, adjoins:
- the chancel on the square,
- two little apses,
- high tower
-
Rotunda św. Prokopa w Strzelnie to największa romańska świątynia w Polsce zbudowana na planie koła. Zapis w kronikach Jana Długosza podaje datę 16 marca 1133, jednak badania archiwalne wskazują na równoczesny czas ukończenia rotundy i pobliskiego kościoła norbertanek (czyli początek XIII w.).
Budowla wykonana została z granitowych ciosów kamiennych, z późniejszymi elementami z cegły. Do rotundy, pełniącej funkcję nawy, przylegają:
– prezbiterium na planie kwadratu,
– dwie małe apsydy,
– wysoka wieża.
The Poles Dijk (Dutch: Palendijk) in Bunschoten is unique. Previously layers everywhere piles embankments along the Zuiderzee. Now you only find it here. He is reconstructed to show how it was before.
To keep the Zuiderzee water out, put our ancestors dikes in the fourteenth century. They made these dikes of sand.
Many dikes suggested not much. A few big waves hit the sand away easily.
In the fifteenth century the Dutch brought something better: the piles embankment . On the seaward side of the earthen embankment they put a package seagrass.
Before that they places a row of poles: piles embankment . The poles protected the underlying dike against the waves.
Because of the flood in 1916 was decided in time to reclaim the Zuiderzee.
In 1932, the Dam (Dutch: Afsluitdijk) was created and since then separates the Zuiderzee from the North Sea.
☛ This is what we saw during our Bicycle tours in the Netherlands, where we have cycled through the beautiful landscape.

I was very much into woodworking...
Had piles of wood in the garage, that didn't make my husband happy... but I loved every scrap!!
This was one of my creations that still hangs proudly on my door every Halloween season...
When I couldn't deal with the cold in the garage anymore... after this hobby, I started hoarding fabric and that's how my quilting addiction started!! ....now I just click!!!

Bronze age cairn - Aremark - Norway
Bronze age cairn - about 3000 years old
In the Bronze Age was the custom to bury the dead in Monumentale rockeries on the hilltops.
The burial coffin - it is most often only one - located directly
on the rock in the middle of the cairn.
It's built of stone slabs and often hide a burned funeral.
The gifts to the dead are rarely preserved.
From today's hiking to Signalen
This is a charming little round at fairly narrow paths - and
some fine viewpoints against Asprekfjorden and Aspern.
Then there was the great stone
with broad and mossy back
which was a secret friend.
By it I was always confident.
There I could cry and laugh.
It knew and understood everything
and never cared about
how words fell.
Unwavering. Big and dumb.
The same sun and rain.
How well I comprehend them
which made themselves gods of stone

These striking yellow sulphur piles on the North Shore (just to the east of the Lion’s Gate Bridge) are a by-product from natural gas processing.
Sulphur is always in demand. It is used for fertilizer, matches, batteries, bleach, laxatives, wine-making, shampoo and loads of other ubiquitous products. [...]. Experts at The Sulphur Institute point out that around half of sulphur production goes into fertilizer. Google search

The Palendorp in Petten
The Palendorp is a monument that symbolizes an old village that completely disappeared into the sea from 1792. This beautiful work of art consists of 160 piles of six to twelve meters high. The poles are in the shape of 10 houses and a church.
Comma / polygonia c-album. Stanton Canal, Derbyshire. 22/04/20.
'RAGGED ROUND THE EDGES.'
A very obliging Comma that basked on an Oak twig for ages. I made a cautious approach and got within a couple of feet of it, then made various images. It never flinched once which was a real bonus! Only when I started to move away did it take flight. Made for a nice encounter on a local lockdown walk. :-))
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
A chance visit as was passing at sunset proved to be a blast as this was the only time i have got something decent for sunset at this spot. Consequently being such a vibrant sunset it was standing room only.
A re-edit of a old crop sensor image with some decent noise reduction. Yay for new software...
Its also included with a bunch of other Coromandel images at this link;
