Sad that I didn't make it to DC for the cherry blossoms this year. I've gotten to see the beautfiul flowers these past couple of years.
James 1: 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Here, we are looking over towards Mt Baker in Washington State, USA from beautiful Sidney by the sea on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. Also known as Koma Kulshan, (pronounced kō-ō’mah’ kool-shän’),she is an active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington State in the United States, standing 3,286 metres tall and was first ascended in 1868, her last eruption recorded in 1880.
The name Mount Baker first appeared in print in Captain Vancouver’s 1798 narrative of his voyage around Vancouver Island. Legend has it that his third-lieutenant, Joseph Baker, was the first to spot the mountain while they sailed into Dungeness Bay on April 30th, 1792. Also known by the Lummi as Kwud-Shad, and Koba (meaning 'high mountain always covered with snow', was the Skagit name.

DOT Art partnered with DOT Pedestrian Projects Group (PPG) to present an asphalt ground mural titled, “Tidal Bay” by artist duo Combo Colab, within the slip lane closure at the intersection of Beach Channel Drive and Far Rockaway Boulevard, outside of the Beach Channel Senior Apartments in Queens. Inspired by its surroundings, the mural is a visual combination of layers that represent the land, the ocean and the air. “Tidal Bay” illustrates the flow and patterns of the bay contours, waves, and flocks of birds that might surround us during a walk along the bay.
NYC DOT Pedestrian Projects Group permanently closed this slip lane to cars as part of an initiative to enhance pedestrian safety. DOT Art aims to highlight the physical transformation of this infrastructure by inviting artists to envision these pedestrianized surfaces as canvases for art.

A stand of Teatree stands out above the rest on the dunes during sunrise - Tidal River at Wilsons Promontory
Leptospermum family Myrtaceae. Commonly known as 'teatrees'
Commonly referred to as Teatree, Leptospermum is distributed in Australia, South East Asia (i.e. the Malay peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Philippines, Sulawesi, Thailand, Flores, Moluccas, southern Burma and New Guinea) and New Zealand. Whilst Leptospermum occupies a variety of habitats from coastal dunes to high mountain peaks, it is most commonly found in wet or periodically wet substrates that are acidic and low in nutrient content. (Shoot - how did i know that LOL)
Still not sure on the early date. The wave that you see is a tidal wave that comes in as the tide rises, twice daily. They built a causeway up river that chokes it, the result is what you see today. I guess they didn't notice the changes yet.
This was one of the very first shots I had taken. A large shelf cloud was sitting over newcastle with the sun lighting it up from underneath. When i made it to the top of the hill, I noticed the lines of the fence contrasted well with the smooth tidal lines drifting into the distance. My favourite shot from 2010.

is a rocky tidal island and a commune in Normandy, France. It is located approximately one kilometre (just over half a mile) off the country's north-western coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches. The population of the island is 41, as of 2006. The island has been a strategic point holding fortifications since ancient times, and since the 8th century AD it became the seat of the Saint-Michel monastery, from which it draws the name.
Formation
In prehistoric times the bay was land. As sea levels rose, erosion shaped the coastal landscape over millions of years. Several blocks of granite or granulite emerged in the bay, having resisted the wear and tear of the ocean better than the surrounding rocks. These included Lillemer, the Mont-Dol, Tombelaine (the island just to the north), and Mont Tombe, later called Mont-Saint-Michel.
Tidal island
Mont Saint-Michel was previously connected to the mainland via a thin natural land bridge, which before modernization was covered at high tide and revealed at low tide. This connection has been compromised by several developments. Over the centuries, the coastal flats have been polderised to create pasture. Thus the distance between the shore and the south coast of Mont-Saint-Michel has decreased. The Couesnon River has been canalised, reducing the flow of water and thereby encouraging a silting-up of the bay. In 1879, the land bridge was fortified into a true causeway. This prevented the tide from scouring the silt around the mount.
On 16 June 2006, the French prime minister and regional authorities announced a €164 million project (Projet Mont-Saint-Michel)[1] to build a hydraulic dam using the waters of the river Couesnon and of tides to help remove the accumulated silt deposited by the rising tides, and to make Mont-Saint-Michel an island again. It was projected to be completed by 2012.[2]
The construction of the dam began in 2009 and is now complete. The project also included the destruction of the causeway that had been built on top of the small land bridge and enlarged to join the island to the continent, and was used also as a parking lot for visitors. It will be replaced by an elevated light bridge, under which the waters will flow more freely, and that will improve the efficiency of the now operational dam, and the construction of another parking lot on the mainland. Visitors will use small shuttles to cross the future bridge which will still be open to pedestrians and unmotorized cycles.

Le Mont-Saint-Michel1 est une commune française située dans le département de la Manche et la région Basse-Normandie qui tire son nom d’un îlot rocheux consacré à saint Michel où s’élève aujourd’hui l’abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel.
L’architecture du Mont-Saint-Michel et sa baie en font le site touristique le plus fréquenté de Normandie et le deuxième de France (après l'Île-de-France) avec plus de 3 000 000 visiteurs chaque année (3 250 000 en 2006 ). Une statue de saint Michel placée au sommet de l’église abbatiale culmine à 170 mètres au-dessus du rivage. Élément majeur, l'abbaye et ses dépendances sont classés au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18624 (60 autres constructions étant protégées par la suite) ; la commune et la baie figurant depuis 19796 sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO.
La commune est peuplée de 42 habitants (les Montois).
Les Fraternités monastiques de Jérusalem sont présentes depuis 2001 au Mont, ce qui fait resurgir son caractère religieux.
Le mont Saint-Michel est un îlot rocheux granitique situé à l’est de l’embouchure du fleuve du Couesnon, rocher sur lequel a été construit un sanctuaire en l’honneur de l’archange saint Michel à partir de 709. Antérieurement à cette date, il fut connu comme le « mont Tombe ». Pendant tout le Moyen Âge, il fut couramment appelé « mont Saint-Michel au péril de la mer » (Mons Sancti Michaeli in periculo mari).
Le rocher ne représente qu’une petite partie de la commune qui s’étend aussi sur la digue et plusieurs dizaines d’hectares de polders. La partie essentielle du rocher est couverte par l’emprise au sol de l’abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel et de son domaine.
Le mont Saint-Michel, situé à 48°38'10" de latitude nord et à 1°30'40" de longitude ouest, baigne dans la baie du mont Saint-Michel, ouverte sur la Manche. L’îlot est une excroissance granitique d’environ 960 mètres de circonférence, qui atteint 92 mètres d’altitude et offre une superficie émergée d’environ 7 ha, au-dessus de laquelle s’élève l’abbaye. Cet îlot s’élève dans une grande plaine sablonneuse.
En 1846, Édouard Le Héricher le décrivait ainsi : « Le Mont Saint-Michel apparaît comme une montagne circulaire qui semble s’affaisser sous la pyramide monumentale qui la couronne. On voudrait prolonger sa cime en une flèche aiguë qui monterait vers le ciel (la flèche actuelle ne date que de 1899), dominant son dais de brouillards ou se perdant dans une pure et chaude lumière. De vastes solitudes l’environnent, celle de la grève ou celle de la mer, encadrées dans de lointaines rives verdoyantes ou noires. » (extrait de L’Avranchin monumental et pittoresque, t. 2, p. 310, 1846).

O monte Saint-Michel (francês Mont Saint-Michel) é um ilhote rochoso na embocadura do Couesnon, no departamento da Mancha, na França, onde foi construído um santuário em homenagem ao arcanjo São Miguel. Seu antigo nome é "monte Saint-Michel em perigo do mar" (Mons Sancti Michaeli in periculo mari).
Este mosteiro, fortificado no século XIII, integra um conjunto com mais três cidades cujas fortificações e desenvolvimento são notáveis: Aigues-Mortes (1270-1276), ponto de reunião dos Cruzados rumo à Terra Santa, Carcassone, célebre por suas defesas, e Avignon, sede alternativa da Cristandade (1309-1377). Estas cidades fortificadas, denominadas "bastides" marcavam a fronteira dos reinos ao final da Idade Média, servindo como elementos de defesa e dando ao povo novas oportunidades sociais. Foram construídas mais de 300 só na França, entre os anos de 1220 e 1350. Além das "bastides", foram projetadas e construídas em toda a Europa, de Portugal à Polônia, e nomeadamente no sudoeste da França, entre 1136 e 1270 aproximadamente, numerosas "villeneuves" (cidades novas), que muito contribuíram para o nascimento e consolidação de uma classe social burguesa.

The River Witham travelling underneath Wigford Way Bridge, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
The River Witham is a river almost entirely in the county of Lincolnshire in the east of England. It rises south of Grantham close to South Witham, passes Lincoln and at Boston, flows into The Haven, a tidal arm of The Wash, near RSPB Frampton Marsh. The name "Witham" seems to be extremely old and of unknown origin. Archaeological and documentary evidence shows the importance of the Witham as a navigation from the Iron Age onwards. From Roman times it was navigable to Lincoln, from where the Fossdyke was constructed to link it to the River Trent. The mouth of the river moved in 1014 following severe flooding, and Boston became important as a port.
From 1142 onwards, sluices were constructed to prevent flooding by the sea, and this culminated in the Great Sluice, which was constructed in 1766. It maintained river levels above Boston, and helped to scour the channel below it. The land through which the lower river runs has been the subject of much land drainage, and many drains are connected to the Witham by flood doors, which block them off if river levels rise rapidly. The river is navigable from Brayford Pool in Lincoln to Boston, with Locks only in Lincoln, at Bardney and at the Grand Sluice. Passage through the Grand Sluice lock is restricted to short periods when the tidal levels are suitable. The river provides access for boaters to the Witham Navigable Drains, to the north of Boston, and to the South Forty-Foot Drain to the south, which was reopened as part of the Fens Waterways Link, a project to link the river to the River Nene near Peterborough. From Brayford Pool, the Fossdyke Navigation still links to the Trent.
