Hawkesbury Junction is located at the intersection of the Oxford and Coventry Canals, and was known as Sutton Stop – a stop lock being the name given to a canal lock whose main reason for it’s existance was to prevent the water from one canal being lost to another! / The magnificent cast iron bridge spanning the junction was cast at the Britannia Foundry in Derby, and was erected for the Coventry Canal Company in 1837. / Hawkesbury Junction has been declared a conservation area by the Coventry City Council and Nuneaton Borough Council, and includes some historically-notable buildings and ‘The Greyhound’ a typical English pub…that does some great food ! ;-) Hawkesbury Junction Nikon D80.

Featured in Streams & Stream Crossings Featured member of the group Streams & Stream / Crossings this week!! The bridge was built in 1878 by John Smith and Samuel Stauffer. Jackson’s Sawmill Covered Bridge or Eichelberger’s Covered Bridge is a covered bridge that spans the West Branch of the Octoraro Creek in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. A county-owned and maintained bridge, its official designation is the West Octoraro #1 Bridge. The bridge is purportedly the only covered bridge in the county that is not built perpendicular to the stream it crosses due to the placement of the sawmill on one side of the bridge and the rock formations faced by the builders on the other side.
The Colorado River provides much of the water for four states in the Southwest. This dam generates power for those same states. Taken from the raft as we floated downriver, in this angle everything seemed to point to the dam. Super trip in a fantastic canyon.

Lower Cataract Falls on Mill Creek in Lieber State Recreation Area in Cataract, Indiana. The lower falls are about 1/2 mile down stream from the Upper Falls.

I had photographed this river/stream before, but a fence around it along the road above. Today I saw a wooden gate and was able to climb down the slope to the bank, and the view was just amazing from there! / Parker City, IN / Nikon D90 / f13 / Exposure time 1/50 sec / ISO 640 / focal length 32 mm / metering mode-pattern / no flash / exposure program- Manual

Alaska Autumn Gold ~ Fall Colours / Autumn Equinox / Permafrost and Boreal Forests of Interior Alaska / Chena River and Lakes / Tanana River Valley Chena is pronounced “Chay – na” Here is some additional information on the Chena River, so you have a better idea of what you are looking at, a quote from Wikipedia ~ Chena River Interior Alaska “The Chena River is a 100-mile-long (160 km) river in the Interior region of the U.S. state of Alaska. It flows generally west from the White Mountains to the Tanana River near the city of Fairbanks, which is built on both sides of the river. The 2300 mile-long Yukon River flows from both the Tanana and Chena Rivers. The river is fed by five tributaries: the North Fork, South Fork, West Fork, Middle (East) Fork and the Little Chena River. All empty into the Middle Fork, which is the main section of the river. The Chena River is surrounded by the Chena River State Recreation Area in the upper half of the river basin. The Chena River is used for recreational fishing and boating. During the winter months, it is also traveled by snowmachines and mushers (sled dogs). The Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project dam, which includes a station for counting fish populations, is located about 45 miles up the Chena River from the mouth of the Tanana River. The river is home to several species of fish and is a spawning area for king salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha). The dam was built in response to the 1967 Fairbanks flood which inundated much of the city. When closed, excess water is kept back upriver from Fairbanks and North Pole and, given enough water, spills into the Tanana River near North Pole (which is a small community, or township) about eight miles away from the Chena.” Chena River Interior Alaska / Corps Lakes Gateway: Alaska ~ Chena River Lakes Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / My images do not belong to the public domain. / Reproduction is strictly prohibited / All rights reserved “A suspended silence permeates the slumbering forest as I tread my way cautiously across the sphagnum moss terrain careful not to disturb or alarm any resident creatures within my scope, coinciding my feelings with the innate harmony of the still wood, listening intently for the subtle promptings of my heart, which never fails to keep my thoughts and actions both pure and intrinsic. A red squirrel appears suddenly, skipping effortlessly across the overhead branches, teaching me that to be natural and spontaneous is the vital key, as shards of golden sunshine fragmented diffusion on the leaves all around the brilliant phlox and foxgloves, provided a welcome spree to the eye. Just then a dog fox came prowling, sniffing assiduously the downwind breeze. He didn’t even notice me, as I stood stock still against a birch tree blending into my environment, with no sudden movement or noise. Heaven’s gates opened up for me, while I whispered your name in grace. I am a man who leads from the front, multi-faceted in my ways, and when I give my heart away, you can be sure that destiny has moved for when I reached the fork in the trail I heard your voice say ….

Baumgardner’s Mill Bridge crosses Pequea Creek in Martic, Pa with a 116’ Burr Arch design built in 1860. The Mill (behind bridge)...The first mill on the site was a log 3 story grist & saw mill 20’X 40’ in size built by Jacob Smith in 1774. The log mill was replaced by a new stone mill; of 38’X 40’ in size, 3 stories tall, in 1806, with Smith still operating. The mill was sold to Abraham Mylin in 1836. / Mylin enlarged the 1806 mill or started over with the new 1836 stone/frame mill that stands today at 3 stories with a 40’X 60’ footprint. The mill burned and was rebuilt from the fire that toasted 3,000 bushels of wheat. Mylin sold to Benjamin Harnish in 1857, then again in 1868 to John Good, and 1870 to Thomas Baungardner. Subsequent owners were Jacob Herr, Henry Hess, J.H. Baumgardner,& Edwin Diffenderfer who was killed by the internal waterwheel in 1905. Another name for the mill was the Edwin Diffenbauch Mill. Not sure if Diffenbauch and Diffenderfer were one and the same person? Posted to the National Register of Historic Places on December 11, 1980.
Converted the color long exposure to LAB color and used the lightness channel as a base. Added a cooling filter to give it that icy cool. / Canon XSi / B+W nd1000 / B+W CPL
I searched the internet for a really long exposure of Tahquamenon Falls but couldn’t find one. So I figured that my first real shot with my new 10 stop filter would be of this amazing falls. This is a blend of 3 long exposure shots. The first one was 4 minutes, the correctly exposed one was 5 minutes and the bright one was 6 minutes. / Black and white to come soon. / Canon xsi / B+W nd 1000 / B+W CPL
Ponka Wilderness Area, Arkansas The Natural State Entering the wilderness, this trail enters the 11,300-acre of Ponka Wilderness. Some of the most pristine wilderness, and indigenous hard wood forest in the US. / A place largely free of the sights, and sounds of our modern world. / Trails cross steep grades, and ford over the Buffalo National River, and its many tributaries. / With its steep rugged terrene, one needs to consider their physical abilities, and of course current weather conditions before hiking these trails. Be prepared I took this image in 2006 when I was able to get out, and hike the beautiful Arkansas Wilderness. I thank God everyday for the many images I have taken along my way, and each time I view them, I can re-live that moment, in time. This image is dedicated to my friend Lynn. Thanks so much for being you :) Canon Powershot S3 IS / / /
