Yesterday, we went on a trip to #Penzance in #Cornwall. There is a direct #RailwayLine running from here to #London #Paddington. My local station is about half way along this 6-hour route and I've been on the London leg many time and so I thought it would be nice to go to the end of the line in the other direction. There are lots of #RailwayStations with strange names, like #Lostwithiel and #StErth and so it was nice to pass through them on our way.

Looking east along the beach, you can see #StMichaelsMount, which is built on a part-time island, in that it is an island when the tide is in but otherwise you can walk to it over a #causeway. We did that a decade ago. Here are a couple of views with a #ZoomLens (I didn't have space to pack my telephoto lens).

The #town of #Penzance can be seen in the opposite direction.

Parts of the #beach have #grey compacted sand. It's firm and yet soft and when wet it forms a shimmering mirror for the sky.

From the next #headland, you can get a really good view of St Michael's Mount. I think the light conditions here were better too in the early afternoon.

Off the shore, there were several #vessels including this #ship. I'm not sure what its function is but it's certainly for some special purpose.

The #sea appeared #blue or #green depending on the underlying geology.

Here. it even has patches of gold colour looking a bit like those pools into which people drop coins.

The boundary of #Devon and #Cornwall is marked in the south by the #RiverTamar. Across it, there is an old and historic #RailwayBridge called the #RoyalAlbertBridge, which was built in the mid 1800s by #Engineer #IsambardKingdomBrunel, Here, you can see it on the approach on the #train. This was taken using my #Android phone.

Right next to it is the much more modern #RoadBridge, which is a #SuspensionBridge.

De vlag in top

Ook in Nederland zijn veel referenties aan de zeevaart te vinden zoals op deze gevel in Amsterdam. Op onderstaand beeld het schip van dichterbij. Dan vallen de geschutspoorten nog meer op. De koloniale expansie was vaak niet vreedzaam.

Schip in nood

Foto van tegeltableau met kapseizend schip waar rookwolken uitkomen

Cascais (Portugal) 2023

Ook op de van Portugal bekende tegeltableaus (azulejos) is te zien dat het land de zeeën bezeilde. Dit schip schijnt in nood te zijn, gezien de rookwolken die eruit lijken te komen en de slagzij die het maakt.

"One of the most harrowing episodes in #StarTrek franchise #history!"
The USS #Enterprise encounters the wrecked USS #Constellation and its distraught commodore who's determined to stop the #giant #planet-destroying #robot #ship that killed his crew.

The U.S.S. Constellation and its crew were destroyed by a giant robot ship which consumes planets for fuel, leaving only a guilt-ridden Commodore Decker aboard the crippled ship. Kirk beams over to begin repairs while Decker beams aboard the Enterprise.

After Kirk loses radio contact with the Enterprise, the obsessed Commodore seizes command of the #starship, determined to destroy the planet-killer, even at the cost of Kirk's ship and the entire crew.
