Le Tidal Basin lors de la floraison des cerisiers Yoshino au National Mall, Washington DC, la capitale des USA.
Le Tidal Basin est un bassin artificiel d'eau douce qui a été créé à la fin du 19e siècle, entre le fleuve Potomac et le Washington Channel. L'été, on peut le parcourir en pédalo. Au printemps, de la fin mars au début avril, dans le cadre du National Cherry Blossom Festival, on y profite de la floraison des cerisiers Yoshino en fleurs qui furent offert au pays par le Japon en 1912. Celui de 2023 a été programmé du 20 mars au 16 avril. Il s'agit d'un hommage annuel à l'amitié de longue date entre le Japon et les États-Unis.
En effet, plus de 3 000 arbres sont arrivés à Washington en 1912 après une coordination entre les gouvernements des deux pays, le Dr Jokichi Takamine, chimiste de renommée mondiale et fondateur de Sankyo Co., Ltd. (aujourd'hui Daiichi Sankyo), le Dr David Fairchild du Département américain de l'agriculture, Eliza Scidmore, première femme membre du conseil d'administration de la National Geographic Society, et la Première Dame Helen Herron Taft. Lors d'une cérémonie simple le 27 mars 1912, la première dame Helen Herron Taft et la vicomtesse Chinda, épouse de l'ambassadeur du Japon, ont planté les deux premiers arbres du Japon sur la rive nord du Tidal Basin dans le West Potomac Park.

Pitt River
British Columbia
Canada
Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. About 53.5 square kilometres in area, it is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at its widest. It is one of the world's relatively few tidal lakes, and among the largest. In Pitt Lake, there is on average a three foot tide range; thus Pitt Lake is separated from sea level and tidal waters during most hours of each day during the 15 foot tide cycle of the Pitt River and Strait of Georgia estuary immediately downstream.The lake's southern tip is 20 km upstream from The Pitt River confluence with the Fraser River and is 40 km east of Downtown Vancouver.
Pitt Lake is in a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The overdeepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsin glaciation created a trough over 140 m below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120 to 140m above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound farther west, this fjord basin became partly cut off from tidal waters by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River ca 10,500 years ago, and Pitt Lake is now considered a tidal fjord lake.
Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.
Communities
The community of Pitt Meadows and the First Nations reserve of Pitt Lake Indian Reserve 5 are located at the southern end of the lake. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees.

Dawn at Marsden Beach on the North East Coast. Some beautiful light and sea movement. A place definitely worth a return visit.
As ever thanks for viewing and have a great week.
The Wash
South Holland
In 2015, a new tidal gauge was installed in The Wash. It will help the Environment Agency measure tides, predict flooding and assess the impact of climate change more accurately.
it completes a national network of 44 gauges that record information about sea levels to provide more accurate forecasts.
The instrument is on a platform measuring approximately 2 meters across and 11 meters above sea level. It’s located 4km offshore in The Wash close to the port of Sutton Bridge.
