This was taken near Canyonville, Oregon. I had a devil of a time getting down the very steep banks without falling. I had my gear in a pack so my hands were free to cling to trees and rocks. I knew the light would be difficult because it was early afternoon, so I brought my Lee filters. Getting up was actually a little easier using all four limbs to scurry back up.
Definitely folks worth the trip, there are no bounds to where I would go to see these magnificent animals.
Thank you all for everything.
I have a busy weekend ahead so will start my next walk in the New Year. For now I shall leave you with this view of Worthing during one of the autumn storms that hit us.
Happy New Year everyone!

Macro Mondays: Bottle(s)
a little bottle and feathers inside an old Half Pint Milk bottle (which is 6cm diameter).
My Dad used to say: "You're blood's worth bottling'"😂 I just store feathers I have collected😂
Sometimes you can sit and wait for an interesting sunset and the sky just simply dims and darkens. Then there are times like this when it is worth the wait. Or in this case, it was worth the wade into the water to capture the reflections in the foreground.
Probably one of the most photographed, most tourist packed and most overrated locations in Norway, in my opinion.
We were leaving Lofoten when I took this picture. It was a brilliant sunset and I hadn't yet been able to take that "classic" Lofoten picture. When I saw this view here I just stopped and took some pictures, because OF COURSE I need to have something. I think it turned out very well.
My thoughts about Lofoten, well, it's not ideal for travelers who want to sleep in tents. Do yourself a favor and go there with an RV or something like that. Be prepared to not find any parking places, especially in Henningsvær for example. Reine was also full of people and we only found a free parking spot after six in the evening. Other people were parking along the main road but I wasn't brave like them. I already got stuck once on this trip.
I have to say I prefer southern Norway with its majestic fjords and valleys to Lofoten, but Lofoten definitely has a unique look and so, so many bridges.

Danny is hanging out at the updated and stunning PusuSaari sim today. So gorgeous and the perfect place for some pics!
She has also written a blog post so Google the name on the pic and see if you can find us. It is like a treasure hunt!
Just as in Brighton, I love the underside of the pier in Worthing. The sea on Tuesday was such a glorious colour, it was good to be so close to it.

2015 09 13 150532 Liverpool Photo Walk 1PM
Those with long memories will remember me under this moniker before we made the move to Bangkok in 2018. This was always one of our favourite evening walks, getting out of town and enjoying the view of the South Coast from Beachy Head to the Isle of Wight. It is a great viewpoint - Iron Age people knew a few things about strategic points and it was an obvious place to build the hill fort at Cissbury
A 3 bracketed shot on my early visit this day.
Going through my files for something to upload after having to cancel our 2 week visit to Scotland for some new material.

I just noticed the date displayed is not when it was taken , but when I modified it ....
Worthing Pier, West Sussex
Worthing Pier is a public pleasure pier in Worthing, West Sussex, England. Designed by Sir Robert Rawlinson, it was opened on 12 April 1862 and remains open to the public.
(In Explore #31)
Known as "The Vista" this elegant walk takes you quite far down the hill from the Walled Garden to a beautiful viewing area of the Hudson River and the Palisades across the way. About 3/4s of the way down you will see remnants of the rose garden off to the right and a decorative gate that leads you to a lower street and the Greystone train station on Metro North. At present that gate is locked and the entry is not used.
My lens was covered with water afterwards, but it was totally worth it
What a roar it was, an overwhelming noice and you could hear it from a long distance
CP 651 was the first train to blast through the foot of snow on the Belleville sub this afternoon. Definitely a spectacle to watch it pass. Here it is at mile 34 of the Belleville Subdivision
Our laneway wasn't plowed at the time so I had to hike about 5km to get to the tracks. I'd say it was worth it

Nice to get some sand detail and patterns along with a reflection of the pier in a pool.
The sunset helps of course :)

Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
Gaztelugatxe es un islote de la localidad vizcaína de Bermeo, País Vasco, España. Está unido al continente por un puente de dos arcos. Sobre la isla hay una ermita dedicada a San Juan que data del siglo X, aunque algunos descubrimientos datan del siglo IX. Dicha ermita se edificó sobre los restos de un castillo adscrito al Reino de Navarra y que fue asediado, sin ser tomado, por las tropas castellanas. Junto con otra pequeña isla vecina, la de Aqueche, forma un biotopo protegido, que se extiende desde la localidad de Baquio hasta el cabo Machichaco en Bermeo, en el golfo de Vizcaya.
La costa vizcaína en este lugar es agreste. El mar trabaja sin cesar erosionando la roca, areniscas y duras calizas de arrecife, y tallando en ella túneles, arcos y cuevas. La isla de Gaztelugache es el corazón de este interesante tramo de costa, junto con la pequeña isla de los conejos, la isla de Akatx, paraíso de las aves marinas.
Sobre la isla de Gaztelugache hay una ermita consagrada a San Juan. Junto a la ermita hay un pequeño refugio que permite protegerse del viento y poder realizar una merienda disfrutando del mar y de las aves que anidan en estos lares.
El acceso es espectacular. Un estrecho camino que parte de tierra firme y cruza sobre las rocas por un puente de piedra permite llegar hasta la zona superior del islote después de ascender 241 escalones. El camino se encuentra asimismo jalonado con las sucesivas estaciones de un Viacrucis. Suele ser tradición entre los caminantes tocar la campana de la ermita, como símbolo por el esfuerzo realizado, una vez ascendidos los 241 escalones.3 El esfuerzo merece la pena.
El islote está atravesado por túneles y hay numerosos arcos. A sus lados se abren playas de piedra que suelen ser muy utilizadas por los buceadores.
La costa, acantilada, está cubierta de vegetación. Destaca en esta el endemismo vasco y el acebuche y sobre ellos hay árgomas, encinas y brezos. En el mar, de fondos rocosos, existen praderas de algas, con especies como las laminarias o saccorhizas. La población piscícola es la típica del Cantábrico, donde abundan lubinas, fanecas, congrios o chicharros, y se completa con babosas, carraspios, julias e invertebrados como actinias, erizos, holoturias, pulpos, nécoras y centollos, además de los percebes que se encaraman en la roca.
Las aves marinas son muy abundantes. La existencia de espacios amplios, como la isla de Aqueche a la que solo se pueden acceder por mar, hacen que puedan reproducirse con tranquilidad. Entre las aves que crían aquí destaca, por su rareza y pequeño tamaño, el paíño común. Abundan además, las gaviotas patiamarilla, los cormoranes moñudos y las palomas bravías.
Aunque hay frecuentes discrepancias respecto a qué municipio pertenece el istmo de Gaztelugache, este se encuentra dentro de los límites de la Villa de Bermeo.
Gaztelugatxe is an islet in the Vizcaya town of Bermeo, Basque Country, Spain. It is linked to the mainland by a two-arch bridge. On the island there is a hermitage dedicated to San Juan that dates from the 10th century, although some discoveries date from the 9th century. Said hermitage was built on the remains of a castle attached to the Kingdom of Navarra and which was besieged, without being taken, by Castilian troops. Together with another small neighboring island, that of Aqueche, it forms a protected biotope, which extends from the town of Baquio to Cape Machichaco in Bermeo, in the Bay of Biscay.
The Biscayan coast in this place is wild. The sea works incessantly eroding the rock, sandstone and hard reef limestone, and carving tunnels, arches and caves in it. The island of Gaztelugache is the heart of this interesting stretch of coast, together with the small island of rabbits, the island of Akatx, a paradise for seabirds.
On the island of Gaztelugache there is a hermitage consecrated to San Juan. Next to the hermitage there is a small shelter that allows you to protect yourself from the wind and to be able to have a snack enjoying the sea and the birds that nest in these parts.
The access is spectacular. A narrow path that starts from the mainland and crosses over the rocks by a stone bridge allows you to reach the upper part of the islet after climbing 241 steps. The road is also marked out with the successive stations of a Via Crucis. It is usually a tradition among walkers to ring the hermitage bell, as a symbol of the effort made, once the 241 steps have been ascended.3 The effort is worth it.
The islet is crossed by tunnels and there are numerous arches. On its sides there are stone beaches that are often used by divers.
The coast, steep, is covered with vegetation. The Basque endemism and the wild olive tree stand out in this area, and on top of them there are gorse, holm oaks and heather. In the sea, with rocky bottoms, there are seaweed meadows, with species such as laminarias or saccorhizas. The fish population is typical of the Cantabrian Sea, where sea bass, pouts, conger eels or mackerels abound, and is completed with slugs, carraspios, julias and invertebrates such as actinia, sea urchins, holothurians, octopus, crabs and spider crabs, as well as barnacles that perch on the rock.
Sea birds are very abundant. The existence of wide spaces, such as the island of Aqueche, which can only be accessed by sea, means that they can reproduce with ease. Among the birds that breed here, due to its rarity and small size, the common storm petrel stands out. There are also plenty of yellow-legged gulls, shags and rock doves.
Although there are frequent discrepancies regarding which municipality the Gaztelugache isthmus belongs to, it is within the limits of the Villa de Bermeo.

Maria Wörth ist eine Gemeinde mit 1609 Einwohnern (Stand 1. Jänner 2022) im Bezirk Klagenfurt-Land in Kärnten. Die namensgebende Kirche wurde schon im 9. Jahrhundert als „Maria Werd“ urkundlich erwähnt. Die Ortschaft Maria Wörth liegt auf einer Halbinsel am südlichen Ufer des Wörthersees, etwa 14 Kilometer westlich von Klagenfurt. Das Gemeindegebiet erstreckt sich in hügeligem Gelände mit hohem Waldanteil über mehrere Kilometer entlang des Seeufers Nachdem in der Mitte des 8. Jahrhunderts Missionare des Bistums Salzburg in das heutige Kärnten gekommen waren, erfolgte ab etwa 830 von Innichen aus durch das Bistum Freising die Tochtergründung Maria Wörth auf der Insel im Wörthersee. Die Halbinsel, auf der sich heute die gotische Wallfahrtskirche befindet, war bis 1770 eine Insel, was noch am Namen Wörth erkennbar ist. Der slowenische Name „Otok“ bedeutet ebenfalls „Insel“.
Um 875 wurde auf dem höchsten Punkt der Insel eine Marienkirche errichtet, in der die Reliquien der Märtyrer Primus und Felicianus beigesetzt wurden. Ausgehend vom Anwesen auf der Insel wurden in der zweiten Hälfte des 10. Jahrhunderts mehrere Kirchen in der Umgebung gegründet. Die erste urkundliche Erwähnung Maria Wörths stammt aus dem Jahr 894. Bischof Otto I. von Freising gründete zwischen 1146 und 1150 in Maria Wörth ein zweites Kollegiatstift in Kärnten. Eine weitere, kleinere Kirche, die heute noch unter dem Namen Rosenkranz- oder Winterkirche besteht, wurde 1155 geweiht. Beide Kirchen brannten im Jahr 1399 ab, wurden aber wieder neu errichtet. Um 1500 hatte das Bistum Freising seinen Einfluss in Kärnten verloren. Die Propstei fiel an das Stift Millstatt und wurde 1598 bei dessen Übernahme durch den Jesuitenorden aufgelöst. Nach der Aufhebung des Millstätter Klosters durch das Jesuitenverbot von 1773 und nachdem 1809 das Stift St. Paul wieder eröffnet wurde, übergab man diesem Maria Wörth sowie die Herrschaft Leonstein bei Pörtschach. Mit der Glanfurt wurde 1770 ein künstlicher Abfluss des Wörthersees geschaffen, der Wasserspiegel des Sees sank und Maria Wörth wurde zur Halbinsel. Bei der Konstituierung der politischen Gemeinden im Jahr 1850 kam die Katastralgemeinde Maria Wörth zur Ortsgemeinde Schiefling am Wörthersee und die Katastralgemeinde Reifnitz zur Ortsgemeinde Keutschach. Erst 1903 wurde aus beiden die Gemeinde Maria Wörth gebildet. 1938 mussten Maria Loretto und einige größere Seeparzellen an Klagenfurt abgetreten werden. In den Jahren 1971 und 1972 wurden in Maria Wörth und Umgebung zwei Filme (Immer Ärger mit Hochwürden und Hochwürden drückt ein Auge zu) gedreht. Die römisch-katholische Kirche von Maria Wörth ist dabei die Kirche des Filmpfarrers.
