  • The active Shark Island Lighthouse (steel lattice tower on left) stands just to seaward of the historic 1903 Shark Island Lighthouse (right), located atop the rugged granite peninsula that provides natural shelter to the tiny harbor of Luderitz.  The old lighthouse is a 12m (40 ft) square tower with attached 1-story keeper's house.  The lantern has been removed and the building has been made available for overnight accommodations, offering adventurous tourists the opportunity the stay in this genuine light house steeped in the maritime history of Namibia's rugged coastline, notorious for its harsh weather.

  • The restaurant terrace at Cathedral Peak Hotel is doused by a passing summer-afternoon thunderstorm.  The Drakensberg escarpment is one of the highest rainfall areas in South Africa, receiving more than 1,500mm per year.  About 85% of annual rainfall falls during the summer months (ie October to March), most of it directly as a result of orographic effects and the associated violent thunderstorms, like this one.  They are typically preceded by a mid-morning build-up of fluffy cumulus cloud and fully developed by midday.  Lightning and heavy rain is frequently accompanied by hail or sleet.   Just as quickly, they dissipate by mid-afternoon, often setting the stage for spectacular sunsets.  uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, Kwa-Zulu-Natal, South Africa.  Nikon F100.

  • A mini-series following my 44mm-high Homies character Pelon, where he poses for photo ops at potholes on the streets of Mount Tabor Park.<br />
Leadership fixes potholes, not patching.<br />
Chronic neglect of Portland’s streets is manifesting in the burgeoning number and size of dangerously large potholes across the city.  Here, pothole road damage is seen in Mount Tabor Park, Portland, Oregon. <br />
Engineering: From a technical perspective, a great deal of information can be gleaned from a deep pothole, as it provides a cross-section-view of the pavement structural section…or lack thereof, as in this case.  Here, the asphalt wearing surface is heavily pitted, highly oxidized and brittle, confirming many years of neglect.  At this pothole, the asphalt layer is thick; confirming this road has received an overlay, but perhaps covering up this pothole without first repairing it. The base course layer is hard to characterize because the quantity of water present. Roadway base course should be well-graded, faceted aggregate so as to provide optimum particle interlock.  This dangerous pothole, in the traveled way and where pedestrians cross, can be repaired by cutting out and reconstructing, but simply patching or overlaying will rapidly lead to a repeat failure, preventing a level of service – or service life – that should be reasonably expected of it.<br />
