Salt flats near Swakopmund photographed from the air. What I find interesting is that as the water recedes the algae metabolise at a different rate that changes their colour. That is why it looks like there is blood on the landscape.

The Weald is an ancient wooded area that has remained relatively unchanged since.. ever. there are a few buildings mostly erected in the 19th century, one of which was the country home of W S Gilbert of Gilbert & Sullivan fame. The woods are full of dips mounds and hollows where clay gravel and sand were dug for the making of bricks. The Weald area along with Harrow-on-the-Hill were used for brick-making. Although there were no brickearth deposits, claygate beds and pebble gravel on the higher areas of Harrow Weald and Harrow-on-the-Hill provided the necessary clay and sand. A brick-maker of Harrow-on-the-Hill is recorded in 1589, and the ‘surreptitious getting of a great quantity of sand’ to make bricks was an issue between Pitt and Gerard in the 1630s. Gerard, having clay but no sand at Flambards, took over 100 loads of sand from Pitt’s ground to make bricks, underselling Pitt by 6d. in the 1000. The castigation of this action as ‘against the custom of the country’ suggests that brick-making was already well established. A brick-clamp in Weald Wood occurs in 1609–10, when, as ten years later, it was leased to Thomas Tibbald. By 1685 Matthew Bodymead owned a brick-, tile-, and lime-kiln on land leased to him on Weald Common near Bentley Corner. Other members of this old Weald family maintained brickworks throughout the 18th century at Harrow Weald, Harrow-on-the-Hill, and Pinner, until at the end of the century their property passed by marriage to the Blackwells. In 1767 and 1776 building bricks were the main product, but paving bricks and tiles were also made. The Blackwells flourished throughout the 19th century, their prosperity growing with the demand for suburban villas and workmen’s cottages. Several fine residences—Hillside, Brookside, and the Cedars—housed members of the family. Charles Blackwell built cottages for his own employees at the City of the Weald. In 1831 these housed 120 people, including the families of 26 brick-making labourers. Twenty years later there were 52 workers at the Weald works. In the 19th century the firm specialized in pots, pipes, and tiles. The Blackwells relinquished their interest in Harrow Weald in the 1890s, but brick-making continued at Clamp Hill into the next century. The Blackwell family name will be familiar to those in the UK from the food products made in association with the Crosse family. Crosse & Blackwell is a brand name that would be recognised by most in the UK.

Camera Details: / Nikon D70s , Sigma 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 DC Location: / Monument Valley Navajo National Park, Utah, United States of America Map: / Road Map , Terrain , Satellite Copyright: / © Brendan Schoon , All rights reserved. Background Information: / Monument Valley is located on the southern border of Utah with northern Arizona (around 36°59′N, 110°6′W). The valley lies within the range of the Navajo Nation Reservation, and is accessible from U.S. Highway 163. The Navajo name for the valley is Tsé Bii’ Ndzisgaii (Valley of the Rocks). / The area is part of the Colorado Plateau. The floor is largely Cutler Red siltstone or its sand deposited by the meandering rivers that carved the valley. The valley’s vivid red color comes from iron oxide exposed in the weathered siltstone. The darker, blue-gray rocks in the valley get their color from manganese oxide. / Monument Valley has been featured in many forms of media since the 1930s. Appearances include movies, such as Westerns by Director John Ford, and science fiction movies such as Back to the Future III; television appearances as in MacGyver; as well as DVD covers, book covers, and video games such as the Playstation 3 video game Motorstorm. source: wikipedia The Watchman / Moraine Lake / Banff National Park, Moraine Lake / Bryce Canyon National Park, The Lonely Tree / Purden Lake / Sunset in Tofino / Bryce Canyon National Park / Grand National Park, Hazy View /

Of all the places I expect for a flock of wild parrots to be, San Francisco’s Coit Tower would be one of the last places. After a stunning view of the city, Alcatraz, the bridges, and the bay, I came down from the top and was immediately SCREAMED at from in the trees. I almost [wet] my pants. The sound was familiar but completely out-of-place. It might as well have been Howler Monkeys in Africa, it was so wrong. I looked up for about 5 minutes and saw nothing, moved a foot, and was again greeted with the loudest and most bizarre sound I’ve ever heard in San Francisco. I got the Panasonic TZ4 out to record video and sound but the damned source turned silent again. Almost as if it was watching me and smart enough to know what I was doing. That annoyed me because no ANIMAL is supposed to be able to out-think ME: “Top-Of-The-Food-Chain Lenny”!!!! Turns out that the source was quite visible all the time but I_ couldn’t see it: a very gnarly, old, smartass parrot! Some local guy passing by said, ‘the parrots are always here’, as if it was common knowledge. Hell, maybe it IS common knowledge – for _locals. But nature-loving people like me know that parrots are NOT beach-loving, cold weather enjoying, California West Coast natives! Doing the ‘passive watcher thingie’ (looking in a direction but not focusing on anything and waiting for movement to grab your attention and focus), I saw the distinctive flight and profile. Sure enough, I looked at the right spot and a parrot congratulated me with another lusty scream. A parrot???? A little research and it turns out that an entire flock of them suddenly turned up in this one spot years ago. If anyone knows why, they aren’t tellin’ but it’s the most disorienting thing I witnessed in the bay area. The suckers know who’s a sucker and scream at them without moving, making it all but impossible to find the source for most people and completely impossible for a colourblind guy like me. They are all but invisible to me unless they move. Of course, the camera catches them and the computer can find their profiles. But out there in the freakin’ west coast FOG, these are the last guesses I would have come up with. (Well, maybe pterodactyls would be last but parrots would be a strong second-to-last). The parrots are not friendly, it seems. Once I knew they were there and could spot them, I called to them and they looked and called back but wouldn’t budge from a good ways away. All appear to be the same type/species and some are obviously paired as mating couples. They don’t screech; only the jerks messing with tourists do that. They also don’t ‘spook’. I could have thrown a rock at one and it would have flown off and none but his partner would have followed. But them a few of them take wing together, it’s hella cool! Parrots don’t look like any other bird in flight. (Well, maybe toucans but I haven’t seen a toucan flying except on cereal commercials in the US and those were cartoons). My trip to the top of the Coit Tower was extremely nice. But discovering the flock of parrots and having the Nikon D80 with the 70-300mm lens (shameless disclosure for the Nikon D80 group, but you knew that already, right?) ready made that stop very, very special. :-) Just so I get accepted in the right places… / ___________ / Nikon D80 / Nikkor 70-300mm lens / Focal length: 200mm / F/stop: 5.6 / Exposure time: 1/100 second / Metering mode: pattern / Date/time: 2/27/09 @ 1:12pm / Still right-handed / Still using Corel PaintShop Pro XI for enlarging (but I used it for a lot more on this shot so bite me) / Still using dominant right eye but keeping left eye open is easy now / Grid was displayed in the viewfinder but I didn’t use it on a bird / ISO: 100 / Mode: full manual / Wind: calm / Breakfast: two Mandarin oranges, two AM/PM spicy hotdogs, and a caffeine-free Pepsi / Coke sucks / Caffeine is OK but I can’t sleep if I drink it / Next to Bacardi 151 rum & Pepsi, top shelf Long Island Ice Teas are the best / Spicy fries rock / Typed using a very dirty generic keyboard into an OLD Compaq Presario computer that I customized with dual DVD burners and 2GB of RAM. / Back up device: Buffalo 1TB desktop external hard drive using Firewire / Camera bag: a nice but cheap Targus / Tripod: unused but also a Targus. / Lighting: 2 100watt incandescent bulbs on a self-installed dimmer, utilizing about 60 watts / Hair: precious little

These smaller rocks are adjacent to the main tor at Haytor. For those who don’t know the Devon and Cornwall moors are famous for their tors. A tor is a rock outcrop formed by weathering, usually found on or near the summit of a hill. In the South West of England, where the term originated, it is also a word used for the hills themselves – particularly the high points of Dartmoor in Devon and Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. Tors are composed usually of granite or metamorphic rocks. Tors can also be found around any previously erupted volcanoes (although Devonian and Carboniferous outcrops are also found), though occasionally of other hard rocks such as quartzite, and are the result of millions of years of weathering. In prehistoric times, when the land was covered in forest, rain water seeped into the ground and gradually weathered the bedrock through its natural cracks, or joints. Once the land became exposed, the weathering was accelerated, particularly during the Ice age when freezing water expanded in the cracks. The result can be seen today in dramatic rock formations.
