SUNRISE at Sea ~ very windy photo-shoot from the top-deck
Just north-west of the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean Sea
*{About The Shot: I am compelled to tell the story of this early morning sunrise-shoot as it was like nothing else I've ever experienced as a seasoned cruiser. This was shot in 'sustained' 50mph winds with gusts up to 60-70mph! Shot through a slit in the glass of the viewing platform 12 decks up, the sunrise was directly in front of the bow. Myself and 2 others were the only photographers crazy enough to attempt this, and we could barely stand! We were laughing...but we got our shots. If the half-wall and glass were not there we would not have been able to stand-up. We had to anchor our cameras against the iron supports just to hold it steady. A tri-pod...forget it! I get up for every sunrise and try not to miss these opportunities (even though it was 7AM and I got to bed at 2:30AM!) LOL With the sun slightly off the port bow it tells me we are now steaming SE heading toward Grand Cayman, not yet visible on the horizon. - Would I do it again? You betcha!! Thanks for looking.]

This pair of Bottlenose passed within inches, directly over my head while looking down at me blasting me with sounds.
Originally a lot taller this statue of George 111 was too close to a nearby WW2 RAF bomber base's approach pattern. The RAF decided to blow it up to eliminate the danger posed to aircraft, the top section was recovered and placed in the grounds of Lincoln castle where this image was taken.

The 1894 built signal box is on the left, an odd structure with a third of it being a flat roof, presumably as part of some damage or an extension.
This is an old box and signals trains on the Tunbridge Wells to Hastings line and December 2016 saw the reconnection of the railway to the Network Rail system, 50 years after closure.

While I was walking and admiring the wonderful shapes and colors of the sunset along with the sailing boats at the marina but also the trading ships far away , there was an absolute peaceful scenery and i was wondering why i was not making my move to shot this ... but then suddenly inspiration came .....yes, that was what it was missing .....this is what intrigue me to pick up my camera and shot ..... it was this theTHIRD ELEMENT... this small boat coming slowly out of the port , and with its presence breaking up the tranquility and making scenery more vivid

alternative title - honest doc
as in honestly doc, I wasn't snorkelling.. I'd left the camera/underwater housing, mask and fins at home so I wouldn't be tempted but it was very hot and so I went for a paddle.
I saw quite a number of species including a big eel and these tiny blue fish.

Piotr et Oleg ont terminé leur 3e sortie extravéhiculaire ! Hier ils ont à nouveau passé un peu plus de 7h30 à l’extérieur de la Station, toujours pour la mise en service du module scientifique russe MLM. Les câbles télé et internet sont maintenant branchés, on a tout le confort moderne ! 😉 Bien entendu, par télévision on entend le canal utilisé par les chercheurs pour nous aider lors des expériences, et par le centre de contrôle pour suivre notre travail et nous accompagner… les caméras sont à bord mais les écrans sont sur terre ! 😁 Ils ont également installé un dispositif de rendez-vous et d’amarrage, et même une expérience de biologie à l’extérieur du module MRM2. Encore une journée bien fatigante pour nos amis, nous étions heureux et soulagés de les voir rentrer : c’est toujours une bonne occasion pour célébrer On est en plein dans la saison 2 des sorties extravéhiculaires puisqu’Aki et moi nous préparons à sortir dimanche (encore du travail sur les panneaux solaires).
Spacewalk 3️⃣ for Oleg and Pyotr complete! They spent another 7 and a half hours outside yesterday for more work on the new Russian science module MLM. Television and internet is now connected, what more could you need? ;). (the television is for researchers to follow our progress working on experiments and the control centre to help us throughout the day, not for us to watch of course!) Well, they also installed a rendezvous and docking system, handrails, and even a biology experiment on the MRM2 or Poisk module that is on the other side of MLM! Another busy and tiring day, and we were happy to see them back. Being safely back inside is always a good reason to celebrate! We are really into spacewalk season two now, Aki and myself are preparing to go outside this Sunday to work on the P-4 truss and prepare it for more roll-out solar arrays.

Construction on this Minneapolis bridge has been underway for quite a while. With the weather turning a bit nicer, it was great to grab a camera and just walk around the city. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!
FLASHBACK
of this movement rehearsed
a voice decries
decaying
decade’s in masterful persuasion
into roots of past seeds sown
reaching the third child
her adopted son
the youngest of the two boys
still alive
silent is his vanishing wisdom
not from sprouted seed to tree
memories
moments
flashback
a journey now
again control
a force
this power of Mother
her unmuted somatic state
cruel pitiful influence
its delicate tones shatter him yet again
articulates deliberately
in her delightful deliveries
another layer of distorted distractions
attempting an untangling this
there life long bond
of father and son
despite in her fear of a loneliness
she projects her twisted pleasure
unleashed
PJJ
A heads up from a friend informed me that the Grafton and Upton would be making their third revenue run over the Milford Industrial Track with two loads for Bluelinx in Bellingham. So instead of doing the responsible thing and having breakfast and then going to bed so I'd be rested for work that night I did the opposite and headed to Milford!
The one shot I wanted above all else was them swinging through Bellingham Junction, but when I got there I found the fresh snow u undisturbed so continued on up the line. I found them just as they were departing from the junction in Milford where their historic owned property meets this former New Haven branch line.
On a brilliantly cold clear winter day it was worthy of a little chase and I got them at three spots before they got to Bellingham Jct. where unfortunately they derailed ending my chase for the day as seen in this photo posted earlier: flic.kr/p/2kANeRg
Anyway, here was the first spot on the chase as the pair of pair of patched ex CSXT nee SCL MP15ACs (EMD blt. Feb. 1978) numbers 1191 & 1160 cross Howard St. at MP 35.5.

This photograph was more difficult to capture than it looks. That is because I wanted the entire flower and butterfly to be in focus, but I did not want the background grassland to look cluttered. I used a Nikon 105mm macro f2.8 on a Nikon D810 full frame body with an aperture of f18, but I moved in quite close so this has very little cropping. I discovered recently that Chalkhill Blues (Polyommatus coridon) have disappeared from many of their downland localities. They need short-grazed turf with lots of their larval foodplant Horsehoe Vetch. But they also need the right kind of ants which thrive in short turf. Their relationship with ants is truly mutually beneficial as the ants protect them from predators and parasites, and in return the caterpillar exudes fluid with sugar and amino acids which the ants drink. The UK population declined by about a third (34%) between 1995 and 2004. Declines are probably attributed to loss of short turf when vegetation grows tall. This can be lack of agricultural grazing, or more likely rabbits, which suffer population crashes due to periodic outbreaks of myxomatosis. I photographed this male near the north of its British range in Cambridgeshire, although its foodplant Horseshoe Vetch (Hippocrepis comosa) also occurs on limestone in the north of England.
