The steep land on the left is very unstable and is being eroded with landslides occasionally. At the head of the valley is a fairly substantial house and it is the highest occupied house on the Isle of Man. When I was a child it was the retreat of a Doctor, there was no electricity etc. It is still technically off the grid as it has its own wind turbines and perhaps generators. It has been substantially altered and "improved" since the doctor had it.
Standing in the drive way of my new house last night I enjoyed this view to the North up the stream. The little old thatched-roof house in the right foreground was bought by a famous artist from Tokyo I'm told! I don't know if he's living there now or not but someone is.
I will lose my internet connection tomorrow, March 31. I still don't know when my new house will be hooked up but I'm working on it. Don't forget me too quickly!

I'm going with Western Gull here because of the pinky legs. The gull was foraging in the rocks in one of the many coves of California's Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. Each time a swell would surge in, it would have to temporarily relocate or fight its way back to position.
Meanwhile, I have a friend who has a favorite saying: "If it feels like you're swimming upstream, it's 'cause you probably are". I thought this exemplified that perfectly. And view this large!
This view is from the Greenway Quay on the River Dart looking across the river to the beautiful village of Dittisham set in the rolling Devon hills.
Dittisham is a village and civil parish in the South Hams district of the English county Devon. It is situated on the west bank of the tidal River Dart, 2 miles (3.2 km) upstream of Dartmouth.
The Greenway Ferry carries pedestrians across the river from Dittisham to Greenway Quay, adjacent to the Greenway Estate. Once the home of the crime writer Agatha Christie, this has views across the river, and the house and gardens are now owned by the National Trust and are open to the public.
Gurrow Point is a private estate on the edge of Dittisham.
In 2001, the parish had a population of 424. The figures for 1801 and 1901 are 639 and 549.
Dittisham has given its name to the Dittisham plum, a dessert variety grown here.
The fictitious Lady Dittisham is one of the main characters in Agatha Christie's Five Little Pigs.

Taken from an aquaduct disguised as a bridge @ Bolton Abbey, NYorks, UK. This river can rage through after heavy rains, but at present it is Hoagy Carmichael's 'lazy river' and a beautiful, peaceful spot for our afternoon walk today :-)
To all who view and/or comment on my pix, each is a help and a pleasure in equal measure. Thank you.
Tiny creek Wilisch in the beautiful Ore Mountains. I really love the atmosphere there. A mixture between wilderness, mining tradition and an old steam track. I do not know why, but I belive the Uranium did something strengh with my cameras sensor ... .
Thanks for coming and enjoy your evening!

The Thousand Islands is a picturesque archipelago located in the St. Lawrence River, straddling the border between northern New York State (USA) and southeastern Ontario (Canada). It consists of 1,864 islands, from small rocky outcrops to larger inhabited ones. On the Canadian side, the Thousand Islands stretch for about 80 km (50 miles) downstream from Kingston to Brockville, Ontario. On the U.S. side, islands stretch from Jefferson County and St. Lawrence County upstream to Alexandria Bay, New York. The American region along the river has a much less dense population compared to Ontario, Canada. The whole Thousand Islands region is of natural beauty, history and recreational opportunities. Many islands feature historic landmarks, including castles, lighthouses, and mansions.
*****************
Les Mille-Îles sont un archipel pittoresque situé dans le fleuve Saint-Laurent, à cheval sur la frontière entre le nord de l'État de New York (États-Unis) et le sud-est de l'Ontario (Canada). Il se compose de 1 864 îles, des petits affleurements rocheux aux plus grandes îles habitées. Du côté canadien, les Mille-Îles s'étendent sur environ 80 km (50 miles) en aval de Kingston à Brockville, en Ontario. Du côté américain, les îles s'étendent du comté de Jefferson et du comté de Saint-Laurent en amont jusqu'à la baie d'Alexandria, dans l'État de New York. La région américaine le long du fleuve a une population beaucoup moins dense que l'Ontario, au Canada. Toute la région des Mille-Îles est d'une beauté naturelle, historique et offre des possibilités de loisirs. De nombreuses îles abritent des monuments historiques, notamment des châteaux, des phares et des manoirs.
When entering Alvoco da Serra, we come across a bridge which offers some nice views, both up and downstream. This upstream one is a favourite of mine.

Backtracking yet another season, into the kind of rich scene that only fall (and its trusty sidekick, Fuji Velvia) can provide.

Despite some water over last week there appears worryingly to be little fish in the system at present.
The River Towy at Llangathen. I always stop near the bridge here en route to Aberlgasney Gardens - usually to check out the bird life in the river .
Taking this shot is the closest I've come yet to losing my camera. 2 out of 3 of the tripod legs were in the water on small ledges on the waterfall slope. I thought they were well secure, but I reckoned without the force of the water. Just after the shutter closed one of the legs slipped off the ledge and the whole lot started to fall. Fortunately I was able to catch it before it disappeared into the pool below :)
