A bit bigger than a domestic version, this mill at St. Monans was used to pump up sea-water into 9 salt-pans where the water was heated to aid evaporation & hence produce salt for local use and for export. In the late 18th century salt was a valuable commodity & Scotland's 3rd largest export after fish and wool. The foundations in the foreground are the only ones left from the original 9 pans.
However moves are afoot to revive salt-making, albeit on a much smaller scale www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-55485370
L'isola dei Pescatori, conosciuta anche come Superiore (in dialetto locale Isola di Pescador), è l'unica dell'arcipelago delle Borromee nel Lago Maggiore (comune di Stresa) ad essere stabilmente abitata.
Larga 100 metri per 350 di lunghezza, ospita un piccolo borgo, dalle caratteristiche case a più piani (con lunghi balconi per essiccare il pesce), con una piazzetta, caratteristici vicoli stretti, il lungolago e la via principale per permettere gli spostamenti rigorosamente a piedi dei 57 abitanti che vivono di pesca e turismo.
Abitata da almeno 700 anni l'isola dispone di una parrocchia dedicata a san Vittore e un belvedere alberato dal lato opposto.
D'estate gode di una grande affluenza di visitatori che passeggiano nei vicoli e comprano oggetti di artigianato locale nel piccolo e caratteristico mercatino. Famosa a Ferragosto è la processione della statua del santo protettore dell'arcipelago su una barca intorno alle isole, circondata da numerosi natanti di turisti e di abitanti della zona

Here comes the wind and rain! I made this image at Grand Marais, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. One of the world's most beautiful wild beaches. It was a nasty, windy, rainy, snowy, wave pounding day---but great for photography!

I have spent many hours over the years searching the rocky shores of Lake Superior for the elusive agate.
The S/S Kinsman Independent, lodged at the old Great Northern vator in Superior, Wisconsin. It was excellent seeing this steamer on a nice fall evening. It won't happen again.

I love seeing these cardinals. This one is a male. Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona. A very popular bird, the Northern Cardinal is the state bird of 7 different states.
To celebrate being together for 21 years (and going vegan 15 years ago!) we drove to Upper Michigan for the day. After picking up some vegan pasties, we visited Presque Isle Park in Marquette and enjoyed a perfect picnic looking out at Lake Superior. It was a delicious lunch with quite the grand view!

The small town of Superior, AZ is about 60 miles east of Phoenix. It was founded early in the last century as a result of huge nearby mining operations. Mining has reduced and the town has struggled as a result. These church buildings have changed hands a number of times.
Happy Monochrome Monday!
It is hard to believe that the warmth of this image, was created on one of the coldest evenings, on the north shore.

My final posting from our quick trip "Up North" last weekend.
It was a moody mix of sunshine, wind and clouds most of the day, but enjoyed the challenge of it!
Never a dull moment on the big lake!
"Happy Easter to all my flickr friends and cousins! :)

No, the title is not a reference to the quality of the ice, rather, that's where the ice is. This image is from a recent trip to the Great Lakes, specifically, Lake Superior. I know what you might be thinking, no, this is NOT the Apostle Island National Seashore, 'those' ice caves are not open this year. This is from his very little brother (very) on the eastern shoe, specifically on the Chequamegon Bay, near Washburn. These caves, if you can call them caves, are not the same as those on the west side. Any icicles here are not the result of violent waves, but onshore creeks and streams flowing into the bay. We were very lucky to get about 2 hours of sunshine on the whole trip to Wisconsin, and we happened to be walking on the water (ice) when it happened.
My wife and I have never walked on a frozen lake before, not like this. Kind of freaky. You can hear the ice creaking and cracking as you walk, and sometimes your footprints slowly fill with water.
Let me know what you think.
At the crack of dawn, the night turns to day on the windy shores of Lake Superior; a colorful sky ensues. After a hectic and sleepless night, this was a nice sign of things to come, I suppose.
A near full moon (98.5%) sets over the Lee A Tregurtha and Kaye E Barker at Fraser Shipyards in Superior. Both lakers are wintering at the yard.

En Whitefish Point, ruta de las aves migratorias. Este día de la foto, había un viento muy fuerte, como se ve en las olas del lago. Me encontré con otros fotógrafos, que también estaban haciendo checklists para eBird, locales que conocían la zona y comentaron que el fuerte viento en la dirección que tenía en este momento favorecía a las Aves para volar en su recorrido migratorio.

I found a new sunrise location on Lake Superior, but it took some unexpected effort. It is about a .75 mile trail with a decent amount of steps, but nothing that difficult. As I was hiking something a bit unexpected happened, my legs started to cramp up, but not a little bit, but a lot. They were in so much pain that I eventually had to stop walking altogether until the pain subsided enough to move on. All that being said, I am very thankful that I did not get hurt and that God was gracious to me by allowing me to complete the hike and witness a very beautiful sunrise! I am still learning my limits as a disabled photographer, but I am so thankful for the grace of God in my life and His strength that is perfected in my weakness!
