Reprise: Breakwater, As A Water Structure, Costa Rica and Oxnard, California
|
|
|
|
As seen from the Parque Champagnat high up on the coastal cliffs of Lima Peru, a breakwater jutted out into the Pacific Ocean. The breakwater was still under construction. Quepos was creating a brand new marnia and a large dock to handle cruise ships. A man stood atop one of the stone breakwaters that helped to protect the beaches and entry to the marina. That day was calm and warm. Signs that warned of danger intended to dissuade folks from walking on the breakwaters. But on such a placid day, there appeared little risk.

Reprise: Animalblog Eagles, As A Form Of Bird
|
|
|
|
The African Fish Eagle is not a true fish eagle, rather it's actually a sea eagle. And yes, there are people for whom that fact matters. Bald Eagles are very numerous in Dutch Harbor, where they live year round. They are used to people and you see them perched on dumpsters and piers, looking for an easy meal.

2021 House Roof Removed, During Roof Replacement, Eugene, Oregon
|
|
|
|
A view looking up at one of the inside skylights. Pieces of underlayment also landed atop the skylight. The old moisture barrier was underlayment of the old roof. Pieces of it fell from the roof onto a protective tarp below. Sadly some of the pieces landed on the patio and garden. Packages of tiles were stacked atop the crown of the roof. That section of roof was covered with the new moisture barrier. A man on the roof was one of two men stripping tiles and nails from the old roof. A piece of the old moisture barrier flew off the roof in the wind. It left behind a party stripped roof. The old roof tiles were removed, starting at the crown and working one's way down from there.

Angela (right) and Debi (left) sat outside in the dining area of the Hi Dive bar and restaurant. Angela rested her hand on Harlow, Debi's dog. Angela Beske, Terry Costales, and Bryan Costales leaned against a rail at the dock leading out of the Sausalito Art Festival. If they looked weary, it was because of a few hours of continuous walking. David Hertz spoke to Angela while seated at San Francisco's Sausage Factory in the Castro. This moment was captured just before the pizza arrived.

2017 Dieter's Birthday, Dieter Welte, A Lad Displaced From LA to Oregon, Eugene, Oregon
|
|
|

A closer view of the cake with its four candles. This arrangement of candles either mean Dieter was 37 or 3,511 years old. Westley stood by Dieter and waited for a present that he could help open. Dieter observed the cake being sliced and served with ice cream. Dieter smiled as he read his first birthday card. It was a funny card that he read aloud for the amusement of everyone. Dieter's first present was a grey hoodie. Denver was about to set the cake down in front of Dieter. Dieter stared at his cake and pondered the wish he would make before he blew out the candles. Dieter smiled as his slice of cake was set before him on the dining room table.
