In case you're not sure what a 'groyne' is, it's that wooden thing sticking out into the sea which helps prevent sand from washing away from the beach.

In an effort to take some dawn shots (to follow in the next series), I made my way down to this very rugged beach in total darkness. The wind was blowing a gale (as can be seen by the grass and the wild seas). I got my shots, but as I retreated in the growing light I saw the opportunity to take this shot.
For those who know Phillip Island, I was at the Colonnades Beach and this shot is taken looking west. Unfortunately because of high tide, the Colonnades themselves (a rock formation) were under water.

Contrairement à ce qui se passe sur le courant du fleuve Hérault, celui de l'Orb est pourvu de quelques barrages. Généralement les délestages se font la nuit, ou à des heures de faible fréquentation des berges, néanmoins...
A damaged (by the wind?!) warning sign of strong winds at Pico Bartolomeu, the 885m peak in the eastern part of Sao Miguel island in the Azores. It was fun observing clouds being swept from one side of the ridge to the other, on top of the amazing views that this vista point offers.
My first ever HDR approx 10 months ago was this very same spot @ Austinmer lap pool, today Sunday 19th October the weather was completely different, and so was the camera gear.
** The sky has not been photoshopped other than to enrich what was already there. On clear evenings the most intense light you will get is approx 20-25 mins after the sun has set (beyond sea level). These colours you see are the suns light being diffused through the atmosphere, the yellows appear when the sun is approx 5-6 degrees below the horizon (1 degree every 4 mins approx)
As described by "The Best of Oahu":
Sandy Beach Park is notoriously known for two things…powerful shore breaks and the fine beach sand that gets into everything! Sandy Beach is a beautiful isolated stretch of sand that lays just beyond the popular Halona Blowhole. This Oahu beach has a magnificent scene that you arrive upon after driving along the lava rock cliffside of Koko Head Crater.
It is also happens to be my wife's favorite...since they share the same name...Sandy!
Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
J'imagine que les berges de l'Orb, tout comme celles du fleuve Hérault sont particulièrement fréquentées.
En automne, c'est nettement plus calme, pour autant, les berges ne sont pas complètement désertées. Je me serais même bien offert un petit plongeon dans les eaux vives, claires et nettement plus profondes qu'en plein été.
Two of the UK's road sign designs that pre-date the work of the Worboys Committee that in 1963 issued its report that culminated in the new 1965 style of road and traffic signs. They are in a private collection in the south of England. On a replica post but surmounted by the red warning triangle both signs are of the old style with refelctive glass studs to enhance night-time visibility.
Warnings without words at Sugarloaf Point lighthouse - I love the artistry of this wordless warning about a hazard underfoot.

Stop sign that has been riddled with a shotgun outside of Havre, Montana.
There aren't too many road signs here in Montana that don't have bullet holes in them. At first I didn't understand why. But then I realized it was for the same reasons I have so many photographs of utility poles. On the stark eastern Montana landscape often there is little else.
I captured this image south and east of Havre early in the morning as the sun was just rising above the horizon. I've been waiting to find a good sign with bullet holes to photograph with the sun coming through. The utilty poles in the background were a nice addition.

Sorry for the swearing but man... I just howled when I saw this sign. I used a friend's zoom to take this as I was afraid of the reprocussions!...

A rather fine poster, issued by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents in association with the Ministry of Transport, in 1965 to coincide with the introduction of the UK's new road traffic signs that year. Such posters were widely distributed to organisations and institutions such as schools and indeed this is where this copy was rescued from by D Rose who has kindly scanned this and consented to let me post this.
The new system of signage, much more based in pictograms and a new typeface, came from the deliberations of the Worboys Committee that had sat at the behest of the Ministry of Transport to consider the country's road signs. The basic designs had been in place for over 30 years but new road conditions and growing traffic saw the need to update the system, such as for the new and growing motorway network. In fact the motorways had seen a new signage system a few years earlier developed by graphic designers Margaret Calvert and Jock Kinneir, and these signs were based on a continuation of their work. Aspects such as simplicity and legibility were seen as primary attributes of the new system.
So began a programme of sweeping away the old designs and replacing them, gradually, with new. The old designs are now often fondly recalled and indeed a small number of "pre-Worboys" signs still survive on the road network (few and far between) and in some counties old style heritage fingerposts for local directions have not only survived but been replicated on a small scale. The system seen here has worked well, overall, but there are calls for a systematic overhaul as, with any system, gradual change to allow for new requirments has led to some complexities and divergence from some of the principles set out in this new design.
