The snowstorm of the past few days has cleared. It's sunny again and I am looking forward to summer. June 10th looked like this last year.

La femelle panda Huan-Huan, importée de Chine en 2012 et qui, depuis, a produit quatre petits qui seront exportés (ou plutôt réimportés) ultérieurement en Chine...
La grande tradition socialiste française de la "société du loisir" préconisait astucieusement dès les années 2000 que, pour que les Français cessent enfin de se fatiguer bêtement au travail, il fallait faire bosser dûr les Chinois à leur place, en Chine, pour produire à bas coût leurs iPhones et les moteurs électriques de leurs trottinettes et éoliennes, et exporter ainsi et dans le même temps toute la pollution européenne en Asie...
Pari gagné et saine tradition heureusement toujours respectée, sinon, sans leurs smartphones, que feraient aujourd'hui de leurs vies les jeunes générations désœuvrées de chômeurs français écologistes ?
Mais aujourd'hui, ce sont désormais, et aussi, des animaux chinois qui travaillent en France, nourris par les Français (huit cents kilos de bambous par semaine pour toute la tribu, c’est un truc à vous dégoûter définitivement du véganisme !) et ceci au bénéfice futur des Chinois...
Au passage, il faudrait demander leur avis aux pandas avant de les réexpédier à l’envoyeur, car je peux vous assurer que l’air de la Touraine est beaucoup plus pur que celui de Shanghai !
On tient le bambou !
On n’arrête plus le progrès galopant de la mondialisation !
Nota : L'oeil noir sur fond noir n'est pas le meilleur truc qu'ont inventé les pandas pour faciliter le travail des photographes !

Using the Unicolor C-41 Home Development Kit from The FPP. I can now easily process color print film!
Heating the chemistry is a snap - Just place the 1 liter chems in a bucket of hot tap water. Keep an eye on your temp. When you reach the 102F degrees, your ready to go.
Difficult? No way!

First of a new series. A beautiful 41 Willys. Custom built by a friend of mine. My 14 year old son helps out at his shop and helped with this car.

Union Pacific Railroad U50 41 at Council Bluffs, Iowa on May 2, 1965, Kodachrome by Lou Schmitz, Chuck Zeiler collection. Built around August 1964 ( c/n 35101 ), retired and traded to GE January 1974.
The numbers 1 72 appear in the engineer's side number board, and at the time of this photo, the UP ( and the SP ) were using the number boards to display the train number, not the locomotive number, so perhaps this locomotive last worked the first section of train # 72. The trucks and connecting span bolsters came from retired gas-turbine locomotives.
This locomotive was essentially two U25B's on a common frame. The UP had determined that the maintenance costs were independent of the power output of the locomotive, so the concept was to reduce maintenance costs by using a few large locomotives in place of several smaller locomotives.

Located in the picturesque southern constellation of Centaurus, the Gum 41 nebula takes up most of this image brought to you by the VLT Survey Telescope, hosted at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile. Let’s take a closer look at this intricate structure.
Set against a colorful backdrop of stars, Gum 41 is a pleasantly symmetric example of a Strömgren sphere: a shell of hydrogen gas atoms glowing in rosy hues due to the radiation of the dazzling central star. While this star, called HD 100099, may appear to be one very bright object, it is actually thought to be two young, massive stars orbiting in such a tight embrace that they cannot be separated at the scale of this image.
This romantic region is home to many pairs like this, including the luminous object on the lower right outskirts of the nebula, HD 99944. Sadly, the love story in these stellar couples will have a tragic ending: unlike our Sun, these hot and massive stars tend to have short lifetimes of only a few million years, and eventually there will be no young stars left to make the nebula glow. One day, Gum 41 will fade into transparency and be lost to future astronomers forever.
Gum 41 is also a member of a much larger region, affectionately called the Running Chicken Nebula. Whether Gum 41 forms the foot or the head of the chicken is surprisingly controversial. Take a look here — what do you see?
