...of course Aubrey came around to lend a "hand" *boss*...or at least to "help" *more bossing* Amy out... :D
The seas are rough today. We're underway in the North Atlantic during the winter. This is in the trough of a 60 foot swell looking up at the crest. The bull nose just popped up after taking dip. It was rough for three days before the storm eased. At times the main deck had three to four foot waves rolling down it. This particular swell the helmsman took slightly off the port bow. This is the view from the bridge thru the sea spray. This was an epic storm and I wouldn't have missed it. Another photo from the shoebox. Shot with Canon TX 35mm film thru sea spray covered glass from the bridge. #USN #underway #NorthAtlantic #AtSea #trough #crest #boot #ship #navy #Schiff #navire #asea #epic #SeaSpray #Ozean #océan #hav
Europe, Portugal, Algarve, Sotavento, Tavira, Gilhão, Barge, Dredger, Workers (slightly cut from B&T)
On our way on one of the little Silnido ferries to Ilha de Tavira, we encountered the Mareta barge, on her way to do some dredging (cut from T & R).
This is number 88 of the Tavria album.
Despite the mixed bag of weather we've been getting lately - and a general feeling that the bird migration has been slowed by the cold nights and a couple of surprise snowfalls - there's no doubt that the spring resurgence of life on the northern prairie is underway. Therefore, over the next few days, we'll look at some signs of spring in and around Grasslands NP.
First up, this Black-tailed Prairie Dog with a mouthful of dried grass. The little rodents have been foraging now for several weeks, replacing fat reserves lost over the winter. I've watched them digging roots and clipping last year's grass, but recently they've been adding a little fresh salad to their diet.
Endless entertainment for a photographer visiting dogtown...

Tonight's practise session was held in near perfect conditions. This is one of the bikes through Kirk Michael this evening. I'm sorry I've no idea who it is!Taken from my front door step. This is SOOC.
Taken from the Anacortes Ferry during a transit from Friday Harbor on San Juan Island back to Anacortes. Enjoyed the crispness on this cool Spring day.

A ship begins its ocean crossing as the evening rolls in, following the buoys as it heads out to sea.
Complex process underway. Early adults lay eggs which hatch into these larvae (caterpillars) which then pupate into a chrysalis where they transform into a butterfly or moth. Along the way lots of preditors are prepared to take advantage of them. It's a wonder to me that they every succeed. But happily they do!

This is the Quire at York Minster, England, the second-largest Gothic cathedral of Northern Europe. The present building was begun in about 1230 and completed in 1472.
The Quire was built between 1361 and the 1420s, although much of the original structure was destroyed in a fire started deliberately on the night of 1 February 1829. The blaze had been started by Jonathan Martin, a frequent visitor to the cathedral at the time, who had attended a service that afternoon and then hidden inside until the building was locked for the night. Martin reportedly used a rope taken from the bell tower to climb into the Quire, before setting the area alight and making his escape through a window. The fire wasn't detected until the following morning, but despite the best efforts of firefighters, the blaze completely destroyed the Quire including its medieval panelling, stalls, roof and the Grand Organ. The instrument is believed to have dated in part from 1632.
It is unclear why Martin started the fire – some suggest he disliked the style of worship at the Minster and others have reported that he claimed to dislike the noise the organ made. He is quoted as saying: "I'll have thee down tonight, thou shalt buzz no more." He was arrested shortly after the fire, declared insane at trial and sent to Bedlam Hospital in London where he spent the rest of his life.
As part of the rebuilding work at the Minster after the fire, a new Grand Organ was commissioned in 1829, and parts of this instrument still exist today. A donation of £3,000 paid for most of the cost of the new organ and its "gingerbread gothic" style case which sits above the Quire Screen.
In 2018 a major 3-year, £2m refurbishment began on the organ, the first on this scale since 1903. The instrument was removed in October 2018 – including nearly all of its 5,403 pipes – and taken to Durham for repair and refurbishment by organ specialists Harrison and Harrison. The majority of the 100 display pipes in the main organ casing will be brought back into use for the first time in more than 100 years. The organ has now been returned to the cathedral and work is underway to rebuild it, ready for completion in spring 2021.

Track crews were hard at work on 12/11/2022 replacing switches south of Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall Station on the Lexington Avenue Line (4/5/6), as seen from one of the mezzanine passageways in the station. Employees from the Track, Signal, and Traction Power Departments were on site to ensure the new switch, which was designed by in-house engineering forces, was smoothly and quickly installed during the relatively short weekend work window.
