Early morning sunrise over the tidal pool at Glencairn, on the Cape Peninsula.

We went to the shore at a place called Hands Creek to wade around and see some nature. There's an osprey nest in the background, though I believe that's a seagull flying near it.
Wednesday 2 January 2014, Olympia, WA Percival Landing—At about 06:45, one of the highest high-high tides of the year.
Marine beach at the southern tip of Cayo Costa Island, Florida, USA. (looking ~south) (January 2016)
Orientation: Pine Island Sound is to the left; Captiva Pass is straight ahead; North Captiva Island is the land in the distance.
Cayo Costa Island is one of dozens of barrier islands in the West-Central Florida Barrier Chain. This 191-mile long, slightly sinuous stretch of islands is located along the Gulf of Mexico coast of southern Florida. The southern-most island in the chain is Cape Romano Island. The northern-most islands are the Anclote Keys.
Cayo Costa Island is located between North Captiva Island and Gasparilla Island, offshore from the towns of Fort Myers and Cape Coral, Florida. Most of Cayo Costa Island is a state park and is only accessible by boat.
Cayo Costa is on the western side of Pine Island Sound, a large lagoon just south of Charlotte Harbor. Two large tidal inlets border Cayo Costa Island - Captiva Pass to the south and Boca Grande Pass to the north. Cayo Costa is a classic example of a drumstick barrier island - it is wide on its northern end and tapers to a point or hook on its southern end. This shape is the result of long-shore currents along the coastline. Other islands in the barrier chain also have this morphology.
Cayo Costa Island and nearby North Captiva Island, Captiva Island, and Sanibel Island are Holocene barriers that rim the western and southern sides of a Late Miocene depression that is now Pine Island Sound. Middle Miocene limestone bedrock was subject to significant dissolution and karst/cave development. The Pine Island Sound area was a large karst depression in the Late Miocene. It is now filled with sediments - most of modern Pine Island Sound is significantly shallow.
The dark lines on the beach shown above are tide strand lines composed of clumps of algae and mollusc shells.

Was up early last Friday to capture the fall colors along the tidal basin. Sunrise didn't cooperate, so the lighting was less than ideal.

If this album was a samurai then it would be Toshiro Mifune in the movie »The Seven Samurai«. An outsider (as it was released in the US) and not as respected as the others (as all reggae that wasn't jamaican at this point) but still a fucking badass!
Released in the states in 1983 this album features the singer Bobby Culture and Brimstone & Fire but more importantly the deejays Nicodemus and Louie Culture. Louie Culture does one of the most wicked rub-a-dub tracks I've heard for a looong time with the song »Vibes Inna Me«. And if you read carefully on the cover it says »Jamaican Rap Reggae and Rub-a-Dub«. Yeah! There's even Louie Culture dropping some ol' school raps on this mutha!
The cover art is done by mighty swallow and it has everything; an UFO with a Free Babylon sign, King Kong on the Empire State Building burning a fat spliff, the Statue of Liberty with dreadlocks and the book of Jah in her hand while surfing on the tidal wave and at the bottom we've got some rub-a-dub skanking in nice style and fashion. The cover art epitomize every rub-a-dub listeners wet dream.
Oh, and a sheet with all the lyrics is included! I haven't seen one of these since I was 8 and bought my first Ice-T record! Now I just need to find a shampoo-bottle and some cool sunglasses so I can do my best Louie Rankin impersonations in front of the mirror.
It's been a while since I scanned something last ... I'll try to do it more regularly in the future.
