The milions of tons of sand from the swept away dunes at the wash overs of Rottumeroog, washed by the immens waves and the supply of sand by the prevailing westerly wind from the west side to the east side, ensure that the island grows on the leeward eastern side.
The sand can remain in place due to the germination of marram grass that retains the sand with its root system.
So the bottom line is that the island on the west coast is crumbling and is growing on the east side, which is why one can speak of "Walking island".
This walking or also displacement takes place at a speed of 10 meters per year.
On the horizon behind the young dune tops we see the sister island "Rottumerplaat" and the channel "Het Schild" which separates the two islands.
The intention is to promote the silting up of this channel by carrying out large sand replenishments, so that these two islands can grow together.
With the climat change, sea level rise and extreme weather conditions a strong island strip off the coast will protect the mainland.
However, it will be necessary to maintain the islands again, so perhaps then they will be taken back again from nature........
Patience is a virtue as they say. My shooting partner, friend and ace photographer Mike Ryan of Michael Ryan Photography and myself have been patiently waiting for some scenes to come alive with the winter rains. Mike puts in tireless hours of scouting and researching areas, including myself, but not to the level of Mike. We have been bouncing around the Sonoma, Mendocino and Humboldt coastlines in search of beauty and solitude. When it all comes together it can be quite rewarding.

Replenishment - Rain teems down from the heavens over the mountains alongside Mono Lake, Mammouth Lakes, CA, USA - Copyright 2015 Martyn Phillips, M4Photo.
As the storm closed in on Mono Lake and the sky turned dark and ominous, we sat in the car and fully expected to call this one off. However, the clouds slowed and gathered over the mountains to the left of the lake and we grabbed the camera gear and headed down to the lake side. Shortly after, we were presented with the most amazing display of nature’s force.
As the clouds ran the length of the mountains they let go their cargo and literally threw the rain down over the mountain side. With the wind howling over the top and down the mountains, the rain could be seen coming down like a large sheet being thrown across the mountains side.
The rain on the 4th July replenishes the Lakes. It doesn't have all those marvellous mere's without getting more than its fair share of precipitation.
Well, I just about managed to miss the rain here high on the Limestone Ridge of Scout Scar. It is a wonderful platform from which you can see the sweep of Morecambe Bay to the South and the Lake District fells to the North. Well, I could see Morecambe Bay, but as you can see the Lake District Fells were rather obscured.
You can see Scout Scar's "Mushroom" shelter on the top right of the Limestone Ridge, bathed in sunlight.
Hull no. A608 "Var" - a Durance class multi-product replenishment oiler ("Bâtiment de commandement et ravitailleur") of the French Navy moored at the Ocean Terminal.
As one of the final three ships of its class it featured increased space for command operations, hence the "commandement" in the French type designation. The ship served with the Force d'action navale (FAN, "Naval Action Force").
The ship was decommissioned on July 1st 2021.

Scene selection is always fun and a challenge at the same time. In this case, I knew I wanted water and rocks. Thus the rocks had to be at the water's edge to be swallowed by the waves and promptly revealed again. They could not be too far into the lake as I was not ready to get soaked on this chilly morning. At least I was not wearing ... #etbtsy

The lake to the right had been reduced to little more than a puddle before recent rains. I had never seen the water so low. I took the photo after looking for a new pair of swans (not visible, but close by), and then nipping here to check if there was any hope of the lake being restored...

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Laan op Zuid, Marathon 2025, Replenishment station, Volunteers (slighty cut from B&T)
The zone captured here belongs to the water replenishment station, which is almost 25 km from the start. The first part of the station is for the pro-runners with individualized services (shown in the previous post), and the second part is for the amateur ones. This picture is captured in the latter section. The transfer of the carton with water requires the concentration of both the runners and the volunteers because the runners don’t stop to receive it.
The replenishers developed various techniques, from extending the arm and holding it stationary via moving it during the transfer to moving the arm and turning the upper torso with it.
This is number 41 of the Rotterdam marathon album and 334 of People at work.

FGS Berlin (A1411), a Berlin-class replenishment oiler operated by the German Navy.
The first two vessels of the class, Berlin and Frankfurt am Main are powered by two MAN Diesel 12V 32/40 diesel-engines, creating 10,555 kilowatts (14,154 bhp) with two reduction gears turning two controllable pitch five-bladed propellers and powering one bow thruster. Bonn creates 14,400 kW (19,300 hp). They have four Deutz-MWM diesel generators. The three ships have a maximum speed of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph) and have an endurance of 45 days. The Berlin-class ships have a helipad aft and a hangar and can support two helicopters, either the Sea King or NH90 models which can be used for vertical replenishment. The vessels are equipped with radar and mine avoidance sonar and one of the radars is situated aft for use during helicopter take off and landing.
The Berlin class are armed with four MLG 27 mm (1.1 in) autocannon for anti-aircraft defence and four 12.7 mm (0.50 in) machine guns. The MLG 27 replaced older Bofors 40 mm (1.6 in)/70 guns. The vessels are also fitted for but not with Stinger surface-to-air missile (MANPADS) for point defence. The vessels have a complement of 159 plus 74 embarked.
Erfurt (FGS) (F262) is the third ship of the Braunschweig-class corvette of the German Navy.
Erfurt was laid down on 22 September 2005 and launched on 29 March 2007 in Hamburg. She was commissioned on 28 February 2013.
Erfurt successful escorted a World Food Programme vessel MV Eleni K across the Gulf of Aden from Berbera which is part of Operation Atalanta on 13 December 2015.
The K130 Braunschweig class (sometimes Korvette 130) is Germany's newest class of ocean-going corvettes. Five ships have replaced the Gepard-class fast attack craft of the German Navy.
They feature reduced radar and infrared signatures ("stealth" beyond the Sachsen-class frigates) and will be equipped with two helicopter UAVs for remote sensing. Recently, the German Navy ordered a first batch of two UMS Skeldar V-200 systems for the use on the Braunschweig-class corvettes. The hangar is too small for standard helicopters, but the pad is large enough for Sea Kings, Lynx, or NH-90s, the helicopters of the German Navy.
The German Navy has ordered the RBS-15 Mk4 in advance, which will be a future development of the Mk3 with increased range —400 km (250 mi)— and a dual seeker for increased resistance to electronic countermeasures. The RBS-15 Mk3 has the capability to engage land targets.

Early in the morning, in the parts of town that never sleep. 2013 photograph, printed 2013. I'm trying to represent more in this picture than just the trains. It is a project portraying one of the strongest foundations of Minnesota's economy, and how after World War 2 much of the wheat in the world was supplied by states in the Midwest of America. Today it's a much more silent endeavor, one that I think few remember, but still important. Hence the title 'Never Sleeps'.

Prologue: Post-Ice Age Origins
When the ice withdrew, the shoreline emerged — gravel flats shaped by tide and time, a place where dawn has always broken across the bay. Long before commerce, before war, the beach bore witness only to cycles of replenishment and retreat.
---
Chapter I: Wartime Waystation
In the 1940s, the area behind the quiet shoreline became Crystal II, a temporary U.S. Army Air Force base on the Northern Flyway. Freighters anchored offshore, lighters stacked with cargo, beached at low tide, and loaders carried cargo across the drained flats to resupply the base during the short summer period. This facilitated warplanes and aircrews, to be ferried eastward, in growing numbers to the European Theatre of Operation. The beach took centre stage in a logistical ballet, its sands pressed into service by global conflict.
---
Chapter II: Municipal Sealift
After the war, Iqaluit grew from waystation to settlement, and the annual sealift continued. The imperative shifted from military to municipal: trucks and loaders stockpiled the supplies needed to build the needed infrastructure, above the high-water line, sustaining a community that was becoming a city. The beach remained the artery of survival, commerce, and continuity.
---
Chapter III: The Port Era
Eventually, the scale of cargo demanded more. A modern port was commissioned, where self-unloading ships could dock and clear their holds with efficiency. The annual ritual of beach landings now fades into memory. Replenishment Beach no longer bears witness to sealift operations, yet it endures — a shoreline of resilience, transition, and remembrance, greeting each daybreak as it always has.

Grand is the tallest geyser on Earth to have a predictable eruption, its waters reaching heights of up to 200 feet in a short series of bursts (one to five) , separated by between 7 and 15 hours of inactivity. Eruptions typically last for ten minutes, and are followed by gradual replenishment of the 30 foot diameter pool above the vent. Although predicable to a degree, times are subject to an uncertainty of two hours plus or minus, so some patience may be needed to witness an eruption.

Bohus is an over 700 year old fortress situated north of Gothenburg, Sweden. The construction of Bohus Fortress began in 1308 under King Haakon V Magnuson, king of Norway from 1299 to 1319. Swedish, Norwegian and Danish forces have tried to invade the fortress 14 times, but never succeeded. The fortress carries a big legacy from Nordic culture.
