The evening heron by jchanders
Here my first shot from this summer’s stay at the Baltic Sea. This heron seemed to have come to one of these stones to settle for the night. Indeed I had seen it some days earlier at the same place in the early morning, assuming it was the same heron. As herons do, it stood very still. This allowed me to take several 5 second shots. As I had no tripod with me that evening, I placed the camera on a big stone on the beach, trying to hold it as still as possible. The rest was good luck. / The shot was taken on the beach near the lighthouse of Buelk near Kiel on the Baltic Sea. The lights in the distance are from the sea-side resort Damp, many miles away on the opposite side of the Bay of Eckernförde. Near Buelk, 28th August 2009, 8.49 pm / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 200 mm / F 13, 5 sec., F 100 Here the morning shot:

I used to travel with my husband when he went on business trips. I would stay in the hotel and try and sleep in the mornings, but they would always be hovering outside…..

The old pumping station in the polder by jchanders
On this picture you see the historic buildings of the steam pumping station “Hertog Rijnout” near Nijkerk/The Netherlands, lying in the wide polder “Arkemhem”. Being built in 1883, it served for 100 years. Before that there had been a windmill which had burnt down. Rebuilding it was considered insufficiënt, as the polderland requires regular drainage. The ground becoming lower and lower due to land subsidence – somewhere I read that the lowering of the ground was about 2 m since the first diking of this polder was started a little more 600 years ago -, more and more water had to be drained. Like this the land could still be used for agricultural purposes, but there were also negative effects, as the resulting aeration of the peat soil leads to the oxidation of its organic components, and this decomposition process causes further land subsidence. Steam-driven pumping station like this one now are a historical monument of a past age. Most of them here in the Netherlands have been demolished, but fortunately this one with its characteristic high chimney was preserved and can still tell its story. The new building in the left of the picture shows the new electric pumping station. Near Nijkerk, 20th November 2009, 0.08 pm / Panasonic TZ3, 4.6-46 mm at 4.6 mm / F 3.3, 1/800, ISO 100

Steampower in polderland by jchanders
These wheels belong to the steam pumping station “Hertog Rijnout” near Nijkerk/The Netherlands. Built in 1883, these huge wheels with a diameter of 7 m or 23 feet drained the Arkemheen polder of its surplus water for 100 years. When in 1983 a new pump station driven by electricity was installed, the old pump building and instruments were restored. Now the buildings and the steam engine are kept as a museum, but the whole is still functioning, being used for demonstrative purposes on certains days and run by a group of volunteers. See also the text of the picture of the pumping station itself. For the more technically interesting, here is more information to be found: http://www.stoomgemaalnijkerk.nl/oud/index.htm Near Nijkerk, 20th November, 11.28 am / Panasonic TZ3, 4.6-46 mm at 4.6 mm / F 3.3, 1/500, ISO 100
