Although the purpose of my trip was for reasons having nothing to do with the port, it was a very pleasant surprise, as it was in walking distance from where I was staying.
I was able to spend a little time there on a few of the mornings and late afternoons, and as usual, I found that there is never enough time...

I was fortunate to find and photograph this rarity during spring migration as it was only in the area for two days. Kentucky Warblers forage mostly on the forest floor, hopping through leaf litter, flipping it with feet and bill, and probing to find hidden invertebrates. They also forage in the forest understory, picking at or flying out for small prey.
Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.

Excerpt from www.stthomas.ca/living_here/parks__recreation_and_propert...:
The first publicly owned park in St. Thomas, Waterworks Park originated in the early 1900s as a small area around the Public Utilities Commission's, (PUC), pumping station and water treatment plant. About twenty-five acres, (10 hectares), not needed for waterworks purposes were retained as a place of recreation for the citizens of the city and district. Once a tangled willow swamp, the PUC developed beautiful water gardens to the north of the plant beginning in 1932. These gardens exist to this day, being cared for by City of St. Thomas Parks Division since 1969.
To create the park's tranquil setting and natural appeal, five thousand plantings of brilliant flowering annuals among ornamental shrubbery, surround the neatly tended lawns, banks and unique bridges.
Be sure to watch for Waterworks resident Kingfisher, Blue Heron, Osprey, Red-tailed Hawk and American Kestrel.
Waterworks emphasizes the quieter forms of family recreation. You'll enjoy a pleasant stroll across arched foot bridges which join a chain of tiny islands where water lilies, goldfish and other wildlife are found swimming amongst exotic water lilies.
A trip to the top of the hill on the east side of the park reveals an attractive view of the valley and the dam which creates a beautiful reservoir where you can stretch out on the bank and drop a fishing line or have a picnic while surrounded by acres of reforested banks and highlands.
To the south, Waterworks provides a large playground, a splash pad open in July and August and picturesque nature and ski trails. Two roomy reservable shelters among cooling shade trees are part of the fine picnic facilities within the park. Beautiful colourful flowers arranged across spacious lawns and the splendid rustic characteristics of Waterworks Park make this an artist's and photographer's delight and a favourite site for wedding pictures.
Cracks appear on the surface and, exposed, the fingers of God reach in. Then the light shines and gives meaning to life, and that life rejoices in the knowledge that there is more to this than we first thought. We have meaning and we have purpose.

Kenting National Park was Taiwan's first national park. In 1977, for the purpose of alleviating environmental damage caused by farming and building in Kenting area, late president (then premier) Chiang Jing-Guo instructed that "preservation of natural resources and the ecosystem must be taken into consideration during construction practices; plans should be made to establish a national park in Kenting area".
Dazzling bright sunshine, azure blue seawater, clean shining sand beach…, This is Taiwan’s first national park－Kenting, renowned for its rich landscape of hills and water, abundant life, and natural resources for everyone’s enjoyment.
Kenting National Park is located at the southern tip of Taiwan. With warm climate, pleasant scenery, and easy access, it is one of the most popular resorts, attracting millions of both domestic and foreign tourists every year.
墾丁國家公園成立於1984年1月，是我國第一座成立的國家公園，三面臨海，為我國少數同時涵蓋陸域與海域的國家公園之一，海域面積15206.09公頃、陸域面積18083.50公頃，合計共33,289.59公頃。由於百萬年來地殼運動不斷的作用，陸地與海洋彼此交蝕影響，造就了本區高位珊瑚礁、海蝕地形、崩崖地形等奇特的地理景觀。特殊的海陸位置加上熱帶氣候的催化，此孕育出豐富多變的生態樣貌，海岸林帶的植物群落尤其特殊罕見，每年還有大批候鳥自北方飛來過冬，數量之多蔚為奇觀；海底的珊瑚景觀更是繽紛絢麗，為墾丁國家公園妝點出卓絕風貌。
從下水堀至萬里桐沿途海水蔚藍清澈，海底景觀美麗，已劃為海域生態保護區。海底地形富於變化，巨大礁石林立，間有深溝及裂谷，形成懸崖絕壁、峽谷隧道等奇特景觀。全區遍布生長良好的各類石軟珊瑚、成叢的海扇、海柳及群游的珊瑚礁魚類等，此外各種貝類及海百合、海藤等分佈亦多。從萬里桐至蟳廣嘴間之海域，已劃為海底公園預定區，淺處為平緩斜坡，各種形狀之石珊瑚生長密集，且種類之多，是恆春半島沿海石珊瑚生物相最豐富的地區之一。水深10公尺以下，則地形富變化，波浪侵蝕作用和礁石崩落造成的各種地形景觀，如：石洞、石穴、拱門、礁石丘........等均可發現，礁石表面大部份為生長稠密的石珊瑚類所覆蓋，且有形形色色的珊瑚礁魚類悠游及貝類、海百合、海星等點綴其間，景觀優美。 本處計畫鼓勵民資於萬里桐設立海底展望台、水族館等，以及開闢玻璃底遊艇航線，提供遊客一飽水晶宮綺麗世界的眼福。蟳廣嘴之外海，民間已設有定置漁網，亦為一發展「產業觀光」的良好地區。

Who goes on holiday and sets their alarm for several hours before sunrise . . . well, I did! The purpose of the early rise, just like my visit last September, was in the hopes of selecting ‘my spot’ for my tripod to capture the sunrise at Mesa Arch before the throngs of photographers arrived. I was the only car on the road leaving Moab, everyone else was still sensibly in bed apparently. I didn’t even spot any headlights or taillights during the drive to Canyonlands National Park or even on the park roads leading to the parking area for Mesa Arch. Maybe this time I had departed at an appropriately early enough time.
I parked, grabbed my kit, flicked my headlamp on and headed on the path to Mesa Arch. My pace on the path was a bit slower this morning as I had been out the morning prior for a cloudy sunless sunrise and the path was coated in ice from freezing rain the night prior and a bit treacherous (learned by sliding into a pine tree when I was unable to stop on ice coated slick rock). Today the eastern horizon was just beginning to brighten as I arrived at the arch, where I discovered I was the first to arrive!! On my September visit there were already 15 to 20 tripods with accompanying cameras and photographers set up waiting for sunrise . . . this time I was alone for the moment. It was a joy to be able to explore and select my location without having to rush before someone else took it. I even had time to enjoy waiting for the sunrise and the crowds. The sunrise did come as expected, but the other photographers didn’t! I had Mesa Arch to myself for the sunrise.
The beauty of the sunrise here is something one truly needs to witness in person. As the sun broke the horizon the first sunburst occurs, but the best is yet to come. Initially there is a lack of reflected light on the underside of Mesa Arch. But as the sun continues to rise and begins to cross the underside of the arch, a 2nd sunburst occurs while the reflected light illuminates the underbelly of the arch turning the sandstone a glowing red. After capturing the sunrise from near the edge of the rim, with the lack of other photographers I could back up and capture the entire arch at sunrise (an earlier image). The fact I was enjoying this sunrise . . . at this location . . . alone . . . priceless!
In the distance highlighted by the rising sun is the Washer Woman (derived from its resemblance of a tall and slender woman reaching her hands into a tub) and to its right is the taller Monster Tower. Washer Woman and Monster Tower are each over 600 feet tall. Behind the Washer Woman is the Sandcastle. On the horizon are the La Sal Mountains.
A fabulous sunrise at Mesa Arch alone to begin my day, followed by a short drive back to Moab and breakfast at the Jail House Cafe before heading south to Monument Valley.

The Tempodrom (also referred to as Neues Tempodrom) is a multi-purpose event venue in Berlin.
Founded by Irene Moessinger, it opened in 1980 next to the Berlin Wall on the west side of Potsdamer Platz, housed in a large circus tent. After several changes of location, it is now housed in a permanent building in the Kreuzberg neighborhood.
(...)
In 2001, this permanent venue was finally constructed on the site of the old Anhalter Bahnhof, whose war-damaged ruins had been demolished in 1960. While a small section of the old station façade was retained (and is still standing), the entire train shed was removed, leaving a large open area. The new Tempodrom was erected in the center of this area, with a playing field lying between it and the façade remnant, and a wooded area extending in the other direction towards the Landwehr Canal.
The firm of von Gerkan, Marg und Partner (GMP) was retained to design the new building. (...) The two arenas are both circular, with the larger, centrally located space covered by a 37 metres (121 ft) steel and concrete panel roof intended to echo the form of the tents of the original site. This space can accommodate 3,500 patrons; the smaller arena seats 400. The third space is the "Liquidrom", a thermal bath/spa establishment featuring a 43 feet (13 m) diameter salt water bath fitted with underwater speakers to provide a multi-sensory spa experience (...)
The 135,000 square foot (12,500 m2) building was completed in 2001 at a cost of nearly $36 million, over twice the original budget. Scandal over the overruns led to the resignation of the State Senator who was in charge of the Urban Development department.
Tempodrom currently continues in operation and hosts a wide variety of events.

Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.

14th March 2024. The little pool under Bryer Court used to be home to about a hundred Ghost Carp. Unfortunately, the water is so shallow, and the fish got so big, that their fins and backs were often out of the water and they got sunburn. They had to be moved into the big lake and then they were moved with all the other fish in 2004 when the main lake was ‘refurbished’.
The Bryer ‘pond’ used to be full of bulrushes. Moor hens and their young were able to nest there in complete safety because, although the water is only a few inches deep, the foxes couldn’t get at them – they won’t go into water.
The Bryer Court pond was emptied and resurfaced as part of the major repairs to the surface of Beech Gardens, but has since been restored, albeit with less attractive vegetation.
Since 2019, Bryer Court pond looks more like a municipal swimming pool than a lake because the bottom has become an unnatural shade of blue. This is caused by a vegetable dye which is being put in the water. The purpose is to get rid of ‘blanket weed’ which, if left unattacked, can take over the lake. It works by filtering the sunlight and this prevents the weed from photosynthesising which it needs in order to grow.

And the moon is hate
I'll be down to get you
Roots of earth will shake

Come and take my hand
Burn away the goodness
You and I remain
Did you see the last war?
Well, here I am again

Come and take my hand
I can set you free
Make you rich and wise
We can live forever
Look into my eyes

Prominently featured here is my multi-purpose bird stand doubling as paint can support and, as seen in this image, Coyote Peanut Dispenser. It serves each of these functions equally well with no required scheduled maintenance intervals. Pretty sure that our coyote doesn’t care about any of these features. And just to state the obvious here, these peanuts are not meant for him but really intended for the Blue Jays and Magpies. Crows, as well. I really should put up a sign on the stand so that I don’t have to explain this each and every time.
What is most impressive about this shot is something that can’t be seen but is a prominent part that allowed this shot to be taken. No, it’s not the extremely clean window glass although that is also a part of it. It is the fact that I was able to calm Misha (black dog) down enough to not scare the coyote away - they are extremely skittish even more so than the crows. So, yes, watching countless of the Dog Whisperer shows featuring Cesar Millan finally paid off. Thank you Cesar.
It’s obvious that this is a severe case of peanuts on the brain.

Fort Ruger is an old military fort on the island of Oʻahu that served as the first military reservation in the Territory of Hawaii. Named after Civil War General Thomas H. Ruger and built in & around Diamond Head Crater, the fort was established by the United States for the purpose of defending the harbor (Pearl Harbor) of its newly annexed territory. The fort was originally established in 1906 as Diamond Head Reservation and renamed Fort Ruger in 1909.
This fort was the site of Battery Harlow, armed with eight 12-inch mortars. And with the fort's prominent location on Diamond Head, it made a natural fire control station with several posts built into Lēʻahi Peak. One of these bunkers and/or fire stations is seen in the photograph above. You can seen the inside of the bunker with just the small opening 'cut' into the hillside looking south to the Pacific and west toward Pearl Harbor.
The Fort Ruger Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on July 14, 1983, with portions of the site still being used for training by the Hawaii National Guard. More information about the historic district can be found on here:

I got my new wellies on and gave them a runout. Not sure I am fussed about this shot but... I am not ashamed of it so it passes that test! I write about my footwear so often, I expect this must seem like the secret diary of a rubbery boot. Sorry!
Nothing exceptional or even particularly interesting happened today. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. Too lazy to go anywhere so am leaving it until tomorrow night to drive out to the coast and watch the sun go down.
Just on the way back from here there was someone on the radio banging on about something being 'not fit for purpose'. I am not sure of its global travel, but this is one of the buzz words of the age. Along with everything being a solution. Pens are 'writing solutions'. I've never had any problem picking up the telephone, yet there are people out there trying to provide me communications solutions. Even dissolvable aspirin probably has 'headache solution solutions' on the label.
Anyway, 'fit for purpose' irritates me. I put on twitter when I got back a lame joke I thought up. It went like this: -
'I bought a new coat for my pet aquatic mammal today, but it was the wrong size. Turned out it wasn't fit for porpoise'.
Boom boom. Day 156 down.

Hello
I usually make a point of visiting your site and giving my opinion on some of your photos each time you visit my site and I see that you choose several photos as a favorite without my knowing what prompted you to to choose. What would make me happy once on occasion without being on each visit is to have an idea of what interested you in the photos is it the landscape, the subject, the colors, the circumstances, format, ect. I believe that the purpose of photo sites is to exchange opinions on the photos that interest us. Thank you for your understanding. Regards Michel

Taking a quick portrait break to celebrate the winter solstice. The weather tonight may block Saturn, but last night was pretty good. It was nice to be able to photograph this locally. Frankly, the city lights and moon were helpful to take out all the other stars from the sky. I always wanted to photograph this statue in the park, but never new what to use it for until last night. The moon, Saturn and Jupiter are to scale: the statue is not. This is three separate photographs realigned, one of the statue, one of the moon, and one of the planets. Saturn is so small in comparison. I look forward to seeing images from the astrophotographers who have equipment suited to that purpose. Keller, Texas, USA, December 2020

An interesting sunrise from last year. The vapour trails stayed for ages. No idea why.
