Same river to sea system but not a high spring tide. But you can see the debris line from high tides.

#Estuary when there is a spring tide it flood this small valley, the sea is less than .5 a mile away but the river usually flows its channel to the right. Making sure I have a way out, I take pictures as it creeps towards me. 2nd pic not spring tide

The image shows two large, dark volcanic rock formations rising from the ocean near the shore. These sea stacks are set against a cloudy, overcast sky, creating a moody atmosphere. The foreground consists of a black sand beach with gentle waves washing up, typical of Iceland’s famous Reynisfjara beach. The overall colour palette is muted, dominated by shades of gray, black, and deep blue, emphasizing the stark and rugged beauty of the landscape.

View through a windscreen of a three lane suspension bridge on a clear sunny day save for a few clouds over mountains at the end of the road in the distance. At the very forefront at the top a camera/speedometer or something of that description is the reluctant focus point of the picture. given the suggestion of views and trees on either side.

Extra info: It is a suspension bridge with a main span of 472 meters, supported by two towers. The bridge's design is considered a remarkable engineering feat and features decorative elements like the Art Deco-style lion sculptures at the south entrance.

The bridge connects downtown Vancouver via Stanley Park to the North Shore municipalities of West Vancouver and North Vancouver. Opened in 1939, it is a suspension bridge with a total length of 1517 meters, featuring twin towers and two pedestrian/cyclist sidewalks. Designated a National Historic Site of Canada, it is recognised for its elegant design, symbolic value to the city, and its role in the development of the North Shore.

Silhouettes of bare branch trees line a street in the fog at night. The haze diffuses the green traffic lights, yellow street lights and the red light of a car as well two blue squares on either side of the road that are illuminated bus stops.

A detailed photograph of the medieval tomb effigies of King Henry IV of England and his wife, Queen Joan of Navarre, located in Canterbury Cathedral. The stone effigies are richly painted and gilded, preserving traces of their original medieval polychromy. In the foreground, Henry IV is shown with a full beard and mustache, wearing a magnificent golden crown adorned with red, blue, and green jewels, his head resting on a carved cushion. He is dressed in finely detailed royal robes with embroidered and bejeweled collars, rendered in high-relief carving. Beside him lies Queen Joan, her serene face framed by a jeweled crown and veil, wearing a gown with delicately carved folds and decorative patterns. Above and behind the figures rise ornate Gothic architectural canopies, showcasing intricate tracery and sculptural detail. The effigies date to the early 15th century, reflecting the craftsmanship and funerary art of the English Perpendicular Gothic period.

This is a black and white photograph depicting an aerial view of the rooftops of Edinburgh, Scotland. The image focuses on the intricate architectural details of the buildings, showcasing a dense collection of stone structures with varied rooflines, chimneys, and turrets.  In the background, a broader cityscape is visible, including a body of water and hints of modern construction. The overall mood is one of historical grandeur and urban density, enhanced by the monochromatic palette and dramatic sky.

A wrought iron gate with decorative spear-shaped finials and ornamental scrollwork in the lower left, featuring a wheat motif, stands closed in the foreground. Beyond the gate, a narrow cobblestone path stretches into a sunlit courtyard, flanked by lush green vegetation and blooming purple flowers on the right side. To the left, a large leafy tree casts shade over part of the path. In the distance, a white brick wall encloses the area, and a few potted plants and a bench are visible. On the right, a white building with multiple windows and balconies rises up, its facade partially covered in vines. The sky above is blue with fluffy white clouds, suggesting a bright, pleasant day.

A brown antique looking ornate clock with glass sides on the street in Vancouver. The time is 1.46pm. You can see the pendulums inside the body of the clock. On the left is a street light with a cluster of white globes and a hanging basked of red and orange flowers having from it. Behind that is a tree, and in the distance cars and a person. To the right is a six story building, with businesses on the bottom, another cluster of lamps and plants, as well as car. The building has a tone of windows. here are a couple bald heads and others of tourists looking through its glass panels. 

Extra Info:
Vancouver's Gastown Steam Clock is a whimsical landmark in Gastown, a historic neighborhood. It's a clock that, though it looks like an antique, was built in 1977 and powered by steam from the city's heating system. The clock's most recognizable feature is its steam whistle, which chimes the Westminster quarters every 15 minutes and emits a puff of steam on the hour. 

Steam Powered (but not really!)
The clock utilizes steam from the city's district heating system, driving a miniature steam engine inside. 

Westminster Chimes:
The clock sounds the Westminster quarters every 15 minutes, a common clock chime melody. 

Hour Signals:
On the hour, the clock whistles a cheerful tune and emits steam from all the pipes. 

Historical Context:
The clock was built in Gastown to cover a steam grate, part of the city's district heating system, and to make effective use of the steam. 

Tourist Attraction:
The Gastown Steam Clock is a popular tourist attraction, drawing crowds with its steam whistle and the charming display of steam.
