Storm Deirdre last weekend created some very challenging conditions to work in - gale force winds and freezing temperatures caused some serious spindrift on the beach, and the poor Grey Seals were caked in sand.
Trying to get low level images was difficult. As soon as you got level with the beach the sand would whip into your face, and I got sand in my eyes, ears, nose and mouth. I was more concerned with sand getting into the camera! Still, I was only there for the day. These seals have to endure whatever the weather throws at them day in, day out. I have nothing but admiration for their endurance.
There was a bit of a sand storm at West Wittering today because it was so windy and everything was getting nicely sandlasted

Train 962 claws its way uphill near Moeraki with DXC 5195 and DC 4409 in action and DXC 5229 along for the ride.
Should have done a widey to show off 4409, but wanted to try these two spots given the sun and that the train was a few minutes later then usual.

A group of Sanderlings attempt to take cover from the sand on an extremely windy day on Matagorda Beach.
Frank, it wasn't so easy to do this for you in a museum ...
I don't say anythink about the consequences ...
;-) ...
it is a building of Sauerbruch Hutton, Berlin, the Experimenta science center ...
the outer shape consists of several pentagons, which are layered on top of each other in an offset pattern. Inside, there is a shaft exposed from above into which they have inserted a tower of glass petagons, also staggered, containing a kind of experimental laboratory. The inner tower is reached via small bridges. On the ground floor, they opted, guess why, for pentagonal floor slabs ... ;-)
die äußere Form besteht aus mehreren Pentagons, die versetzt übereinander geschichtet sind. Im Inneren entsteht ein von oben belichteter Schacht in den sie einen Turm aus ebenfalls vesrsetzten Glas-Petagonen eingesetzt haben, in denen sich eine Art Experimentier-Labore befinden. Erreicht wird der Innenturm über kleine Brücken. Im Ergeschoss hat man sich für Bodenplatten entschieden, man glaubt es kaum, in pentagonaler Form ... ;-) ...

CP 7021 leads train 147 through Ayr, ON during a miserable rainy day. I don't do much CP due to how bland everything is, but I do enjoy these series of units. This particular unit is dressed up in a similar colour to Canada's ground fleet that was commonly found in the middle east over the last couple decades.
We went on a wonderful vacation / family reunion to California last week. We arrived at our Newport Beach resort on Friday Oct 1st. Spent Saturday afternoon at the beach and then there was an oil spill… 125,000 gallons of crude spilled off the coast. Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and all the small spots between were closed. We drive a ways down the coast to Dana Point and spent Monday afternoon at the beach just to have a storm come through; everyone out of the water… Monday night a storm came through and knocked out the power at the resort.
Such a memorable time though! It was fun and different than we expected but we found refuge in our family and getting together to share meals. We visited some ancestor graves in the majestic Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale, CA.
On our way back home we always stop at the Imperial Sand Dunes. It was so windy it felt like getting sand blasted but it was so worth the stop. I am of the firm opinion that bad weather = excellent photography opportunities.
It was such a great time even through all the ups and downs. I think of the words of President Gordon B Hinkley; "In all of living, have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured." It’s all about enjoying the journey.
A version of my Mos Eisley pic with a sandstorm twist, because I like sand storms and sand troopers. Made by blowing dust all over everything, including my camera... ( OG pic ) do you like this one better or do you like the original?

A diminutive Wisconsin Central shop switcher waits for the next move, which is likely moving WC EMD SD45 No. 6554, after it is thoroughly sandblasted down to bare metal outside before being painted in WC’s classy maroon and gold paint scheme at Shops Yard in North Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, on October 30, 1994.
..it's not the little statues that attract me, it's those little bits of driftwood, shells, sandblasted glass that set me on a treasure hunt.
HMM flickr friends.
Sunset at Shoalhaven heads today ... the wind blowing a hooley across the beach to the river made for very challenging conditions. For all that it was a wonderful experience with 'new' scenery . ..

Walking into the wind on a sandblasted beach this afternoon....thankfully it wasn't cold :-)
Several Summer Painterly Flypaper Textures used in processing.

Following on from yesterdays image www.flickr.com/photos/17469730@N00/51606668053/in/datetak... this is the colour version which I think lacks the impact of the mono image but none the less I still like it. The light changed from light to shadow as the clouds raced across the sky.
A little apoc thing built over the course of a couple hours while listening to MGMT.
Those are all the useful tan pieces I have.
The Tandy/Pilet Porsche 911 RSR GTLM sweeps across the dirt on the curbing of Turn 7 at Road America.
Big lens, perfect angle to the track (friendly pickup truck owner let me use his truck bed for elevation) and just the right amount of morning light
Not as fast as the Sandrunner but inflicts more damage with its missile barrage. The oblong base is similar to the Sandrunner with another level added.

This is the day we got sandblasted. Literally. The winds were about 80-90 mph, we could barely stand up and it was actually quite difficult to breathe. Thank goodness for the Optech rain sleeve for the camera! Every nook and cranny would have been full of black volcanic sand without it. Scary but amazing experience!
Music Hall, commonly known as Cincinnati Music Hall, is a classical music performance hall in Cincinnati, Ohio, completed in 1878. It serves as the home for the Cincinnati Ballet, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Opera, May Festival Chorus, and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. In January 1975, it was recognized as a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior for its distinctive Venetian Gothic architecture. The building was designed with a dual purpose – to house musical activities in its central auditorium and industrial exhibitions in its side wings. It is located at 1241 Elm Street, across from the historic Washington Park in Over-the-Rhine, minutes from the center of the downtown area
In June 2014, Music Hall was included on the National Trust for Historic Preservation's annual list of America's 11 most endangered historic places.
Cincinnati Music Hall was designed by architect Samuel Hannaford and is considered one of the last and best examples of the Victorian Gothic Revival Style. Some of the spaces most notable features include the steeply-pitched gable roof, the corbelled brick, the tracery featured on the front windows, and the large Rose Window on the facade of the building. Additionally, the facility varies from a traditional performance hall in the fact that Music Hall is actually made up of 3 distinct and separate buildings; Music Hall, the North Exposition Building, and the South Exposition Building. The design also includes Carriage Passageways designed for easy entrance in the case of bad weather.
Detail of structure's music-themed ornamentation.
Each building also includes individual sandstone carvings, designed to display the different purposes of each space. The center building, Music Hall, has musical instruments such as French horns included on the facade, flowers and birds are included on the South Exposition Hall to represent its horticultural heritage, and scientific tools are featured on the North Exposition Hall to represent its mechanical heritage.
The building was also known for its detailed brickwork, which included both carved and painted details on the building's exterior. However, during the 1969-1975 renovation, the building's exterior was sandblasted, destroying the majority of these details.
Back from an amazing week in Death Valley. This image of Mesquite Dunes results from constant 50+ mph winds blowing the sand all over the place. Add in some soft side light and a brave person standing on top of a dune, and you have some wonderful ingredients.
I shot this with my 70-200 punched in all the way at 200mm to get that compression and really emphasize the layers of the dunes.
I hope you enjoy, and as always, feel free to share with your friends!
Now back to cleaning sand out of my ears, and all of my gear...
A bit of a breeze at Castlepoint yesterday. Nothing like a video for scenes like this. Always good if you have long pants on as well...
Last light on the imposing Ben Amera, one of several monoliths that dominate the otherwise flat desert landscape in the Adrar region of Mauritania. It's metallic smooth slopes must have been literally sandblasted by thousands of desert storms over the years.
Mauritania. West Africa.
