Face Down Tuesday, October theme - Puns

So, I had this idea, was late leaving work and sunset in Sheringham this evening was at 18:20. This was taken at 19:06, almost completely dark, nothing to focus on and the only light was the dull glimmer of the strip I'm lying in which comes from the corner of the old lifeboat house. Opened up the aperture, cranked the ISO and EV, gave it a second of exposure, and although I hate posting a shot that's not in focus (I mean, really hate) I am quite startled how well my old D90 can see in near darkness and it was more about the idea of the pun I suppose. Was hoping to be here a lot earlier, but as the old saying goes, the best laid plans of mice and face-downers often go awry.

Thanks to Sam for letting me use her best colander.

Happy Face Down Tuesday everybody!

Fourth visit to photograph this groyne which has been twisted by the sea. On the previous three occasions the tide has never been in the right place. As about 90% of my photos are taken whilst out on family walks I've never hung around to get what I wanted.

haphazart - 'silence'

It's a dangerous game when a pet dog takes so much interest in a group of cattle. There is a footpath through this field and the dog owner was own it. There is also a notice at the bottom of the field stating that all dogs must be placed on a leash. The owner therefore did the right things, whether he knew his Alsatian would react like this I don't know. The highland cattle though, must have seen it all before and remained unflustered by the experience.

Number 2 in the series folks. As you can see he is still straining to lift the fish up and his body is leaning to the left for more leverage, but again to no avail. Your heart goes out to him and you want to try to help but of course you cannot, and as he struggles you know that he will figure it out, and when he does the drama then continues.

Have a great day everyone, sorry for the long story, as my friend Larry would say Bill it is a little windy, thanks for stopping by.

I know this image looks redundant folks but it is a part of the story, but the look did change, but apologize anyway, the story get better.

Comestibles & Utensils

San Francisco - 2013

I have spent the better part of July and August straining my neck to look to the sky and capture the lines and shapes of the city. Its been very enlightening and I have learned a great deal. This is the first of my efforts that I am sharing, its of the Embarcadero center buildings in the heart of the financial district of San Francisco. I will probably share a few more of these structures as I seem to be drawn in by them. Typically I find them to be drab, almost war department like buildings, yet they are far more photogenic then they appear at first glance. Imposing in design, yet not really. Regardless they make a great study.

I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain,

not to shrink to a grain of sand.

Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all

and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

The Ardara Distillery - Sliabh Liag Distillers (Donegal, Ireland)

Overview Ardara Single Malt Irish Whiskey is the inaugural single malt from The Ardara Distillery: a triple distilled, heavily peated (55 PPM), “all grain in” whiskey that revives a smoky Donegal style not seen in over a century.

Distillation takes place on three Forsyths copper pot stills; the team uses carefully selected yeast strains and pot stills with downward sloping lyne arms to capture fruity, nutty smokiness. Spirit is matured with a sherry forward sensibility in American bourbon and virgin oak casks, with solera vats employed prior to maturation to ensure continuity of character.

Founders & Place Founded by James Doherty, Moira Doherty, and James Keith, the distillery stands behind a striking glass façade on the Show Field in the coastal town of Ardara, County Donegal. Status: active. Founding year: 2022. Output: ~500,000 L per year. Ardara is the only distillery on the island of Ireland dedicated to peated whiskey using the “all grain in” method (every part of the grain carried through to the wash still).

Die Ardara Destillerie - Sliabh Liag Distillers (Donegal, Irland)

Allgemein ist Ardara Single Malt Irish Whiskey der erste Single Malt der Ardara Distillery: ein dreifach destillierter, stark getorfter (55 PPM) „All Grain In”-Whiskey, der einen rauchigen Donegal-Stil wiederbelebt, den es seit über einem Jahrhundert nicht mehr gab.

Die Destillation erfolgt in drei Forsyths-Kupferkesseln; das Team verwendet sorgfältig ausgewählte Hefestämme und Pot Stills mit nach unten geneigten Lyne Arms, um eine fruchtige, nussige Rauchigkeit zu erzielen. Der Whiskey reift mit einer Sherry-betonten Note in amerikanischen Bourbon- und Virgin-Eichenfässern, wobei vor der Reifung Solera-Fässer verwendet werden, um die Kontinuität des Charakters zu gewährleisten.

Gründer & Standort Die von James Doherty, Moira Doherty und James Keith gegründete Brennerei befindet sich hinter einer markanten Glasfassade auf dem ‚Show Field‘ in der Küstenstadt Ardara im County Donegal. Status: aktiv. Gründungsjahr: 2022. Produktionsmenge: ~500.000 l pro Jahr. Ardara ist die einzige Brennerei auf der Insel Irland, die sich der Herstellung von getorftem Whiskey nach der „All Grain In”-Methode widmet (jeder Teil des Getreides wird in den Waschkessel gegeben).

Colors are beginning to become more abundant as northbound CSX empty coal train E760-16 strains their way upgrade through the North end of the Boody, VA, siding with the string of 103 empty hoppers fighting them all the way on the morning of October 17, 2020.

The extreme large size of this cutthroat trout is unique to the native Lahontan's of Pyramid Lake (a.k.a. Pilot Peak Strain).As residents of ancient Lake Lahontan, these cutthroat evolved into predators highly trained on capturing the native forage fish. The tui chub was likely the most abundant of these forage fish on Lake Lahontan, and is today the most abundant fish in Pyramid Lake.

We are straining toward the vision

while the new golden calf

is a clown

in our wretched loss of vision.

The thing that makes us breath

and cannot be inhaled in our breathing

is so fucking hard to know.

Really wishing summer was here already.
