Tidal pool at Coogee, The beach was closed and only a handful of fools were out trying to catch a wave. The little pool in the foreground was empty, but by the time I had walked down the stairs a collection of water had already started.
Calm seas, but this tidal pool was like a static mirror. No motion at all. This beach is utterly unprotected during storms, and the trees behind me are deformed by the constant wind.
The last days have been so calm, that even the ocean was without any swells. The clouds also were almost stationary. A wonderful day, but cold. First snow just fell, and is seen in the foreground to the right, and far left. Behind me, out of reach from the tide, everything is white.
We're in celebrating mode tonight :) Just sold the exclusive rights for one of our images for a year and suddenly it makes all those hours of painful dust spotting and keywording worth it. Now, if we could just do one of those a month ...;) (unlikely but we can only dream).
Anyway, back to Tidal River, black and white stylee.
An Auburn University research team in the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment, or CFWE, has been awarded a grant of $459,482 to assess the function and vulnerability of forested wetlands in the Mobile-Tensaw-Apalachee River Delta, or “MTA River Delta.” In this photo, the tidal inlet of a tidal freshwater forested wetland in the MTA Delta is shown.
That is Riverside-Albert in the background. The tide was coming back in, so the river there is a bit more impressive at the very lowest tide. But the sun had just come out, and the colours were fantastic!
A great big human powered kinetic sculpture (The Tidal Train) will arrive at Port Moody City Hall. Port Moody is where the world's first transcontinental train finished it's remarkable journey. This artwork celebrates that achievement and the natural beauty of the surrounding area. {This is a model for a much larger artwork}.While contemplating the possibilities for the project the nature of the site is an important consideration. I am inspired by the history, landscape and architecture of the surroundings. The circular space in the centre of the traffic circle is framed by the architecture of the Civic Centre and acts as a welcome mat for the city. Seen from above, the space resembles a stage for a theatre in the round. City hall, the library and the Inlet Theatre become the “audience”. What would the set look like for the story of Port Moody? What completes this scene?
Nature is an important element in this story. Deer and bears can stilll be seen wandering into town from time to time. Water is the lifeblood of Port Moody. The shore and watersheds are defining features of the area. The train reflects both the history and future of Port Moody. The first transcontinental train arrived and Port Moody became the destination of a very significant historical achievement. Soon a skytrain will begin to connect Port Moody to other communities and help define the future. The Tidal Train artwork incorporates all of these unique elements of Port Moody. The artwork has harmony and drama, movement and tranquility, context and creativity.
Tidal Train is a creative fusion of forms. As with a theatre set, there is an interplay of the elements. The artwork invites participation. The rotation of the train engine completes the landscape of the traffic circle and connects the roundhouse design of the architecture to its context. The suspended engine also speaks of the Skytrain that will soon arrive.
The engine dances on the waves connecting the past and the future. When one spins the wheel below, the engine begins to rotate above. Movement and context are integrated with the architecture and meaning of the roundhouse. There is now an engaging kinetic sculpture that signifies the unique context and history of Port Moody.
The story of Port Moody is poetically expressed in this interactive kinetic sculpture. The Tidal Train is a reflection of the past and the future. The beautiful and powerful form plays with the interface between nature and humanity. When one turns the wheel below, the engine rotates in a dance that connects the architecture of the roundhouse with the legend of the first transcontinental train. The artwork speaks of the environment and the future arrival of the Skytrain. A landscape of memory is created and one sees what was hidden.

All Saints, Tilney All Saints, Norfolk
One of the best of the Marshland churches, entirely a Lincolnshire church in character, of a piece with the likes of Gedney.
In 2005, I wrote: West Norfolk is flat, but without the haunting bleakness of neighbouring Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. To be honest, it is all a bit too suburban to be mysterious, and where there aren't bungalows there is an agro-industrial busy feeling. Tilney All Saints is unusual because it is actually rather a pretty village.
All Saints is another very big church with an absolutely massive tower. The building is delightfully sleepy; ramshackle, and looking as if it would rather not be bothered too much. It reminded me a bit of a cat I used to have. The spire is like the one at nearby Walsoken, but this is a move into Decorated, and is full of confidence.
Oddly, Pevsner refers to this as one of the C12-C13 Fenland churches with very long naves, built when the land was reclaimed from the sea. While it is certainly true that evidence survives of Roman sea defences to the north of here, and there is also evidence of late Saxon attempts to prevent tidal incursions locally on a small scale, it is extremely unlikely that the technology existed in early medieval England to reclaim land from the sea on such a large scale.
Pevsner is probably confusing the Norfolk marshland with the Cambridgeshire fens, which were successfully drained by the Dutch half a millennium later. Certainly, this area was once under water; but it is the rivers themselves that have turned it to land, by bringing silt down out of Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Cambridgeshire, and building it up into banks at the river mouths. The estuary has slowly moved northwards, but this happened long before the 12th century. We may assume that this land was more vulnerable then to inundation than it is today, but that's all.
The clerestoried and aisled nave speak of a familiar East Anglian Perpendicular. The ivy on the north side is covering windows and working its way through the north door. You enter through the vestry, which is at the west end of the south aisle and originally had two stories, not dissimilar to Terrington St John. I wondered if it had been a Priest's residence, although later I was told that it is not medieval at all, and was a school room.
You step into a glorious wide open interior, full of light. It is similarly ramshackle to the outside, laid out under a fine angel hammer-beam roof. Gorgeous Norman arcades reveal the true age of this place (again, as at Walsoken) and stretch away to the east. The capitals increase in elaboration towards the chancel, and then, just before they disappear, they jump a century and become Early English pointed arches. Turning back, you see that they are matched by the breathtaking tower arch - this is very much a church where the presiding minister gets a good view.
There is a very curious font. At first sight it appears early 17th Century, and this is the date assigned it in Pevsner and elsewhere. Its panels include two scriptural quotations in Latin, and two in English from the Geneva Bible (one reads see, here is water: what doeth let me to be baptised). One of the other panels features a Tudor rose, Unless the font was commissioned in the eight years between James I coming to the throne in 1603 and the Authorised Version of the Bible being published in 1611, it may well actually be a late 16th Century font, an unusual thing. Slightly later is the screen, dated 1618 and turned and balustered as if for a staircase in a country house. The chancel itself is full of the sobriety of the early 17th century, quite at odds with the glorious arcades behind.
A war memorial window features St George and St Martin, and there is a good Queen Anne royal arms. An old font sits on the floor in the north aisle, along with some early medieval grave slabs.
Tilney All Saints is probably less well-known than its near neighbours at Walpole, Walsoken and Terrington; but I thought it was lovely, a subtle and gently beautiful place at peace with its parish.

On the tidal causeway on way back from Lindisfarn in Northumbria..
Camping in van at Annstead Farm at Bednell near Seahouses.. Just had two very wet and windy nights at the cliff top campsite (Whitby Holiday Park) had to take awning down during late evening, otherwise it was heading over the cliff! So nice to have warm sunshine today!
