And they never even knew what they had done.
The android Skakdi who wants to annihilate Zakaz was created long ago by Spiriah, tampering with an old discarded Artahkan robot, to wipe away all traces of his own mistake. Piticar's unfailing iron rage is his greatest weapon, though he also possesses impact vision, adaptability and kinetic absorption powers, limited invulnerability, and gravity manipulation abilities.

Four years after its absorption by UP, the grotty gray and scarlet units of the once-mighty Southern Pacific are becoming much harder to find on the main lines, but a batch from Mojave were still active shunting the Monolith cement plant on 28 October 2000. Not long afterwards, they vanished to even lesser duties (indeed, often as lessor units), to be replaced by yellow SD60 and 70Ms on this job.

Color (North American English), or colour (Commonwealth English), is the characteristic of visual perception described through color categories, with names such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple. This perception of color derives from the stimulation of photoreceptor cells (in particular cone cells in the human eye and other vertebrate eyes) by electromagnetic radiation (in the visible spectrum in the case of humans). Color categories and physical specifications of color are associated with objects through the wavelengths of the light that is reflected from them and their intensities. This reflection is governed by the object's physical properties such as light absorption, emission spectra, etc.
This is the Full Moon of June 10, 2025, a Moon that was especially low as the Moon was at its most southerly declination of ~5º below the ecliptic at this time, at a "major lunar standstill" or lunistice, a position it reaches only once every 18.5 years. However, the Moon was still rising when I took this and was not at its highest due south yet.
The Moon is deeply yellow due to forest fire smoke in the air from fires in northern Alberta and B.C. This was also the Full Moon known popularly as the Strawberry Moon.
This was from home in southern Alberta at 51º latitude.
Technical:
This is a blend of two exposures: 8s for the sky and 1 second for the Moon to preserve detail in its disk, all with the RF70-200mm lens at 135mm and f/4 on the Canon R5 at ISO 800.
In addition to being beautiful, lotus is an impressively useful plant. The rhizomes, pips, seeds, stems and leaves are all edible. They can also be used in water treatment, remediating pollution, including sequestration of heavy metals (reductions from 80 to more than 90% has been observed in just one week). Those plants used for water treatment should probably not be eaten. They also soak up excess nitrogen, thereby suppressing algae growth and improving the oxygenation of the water in which they grow.

These are 2000 X-ray (left) and Optical (right) images of Veiled Black Hole. The left hand panel shows the Chandra X-ray Observatory image of a powerful point-like source of X rays. The Hubble Space Telescope image (right panel) shows the spiral galaxy with which the X-ray source is associated. The X-ray source is located at the center of the galaxy, and has a deficit of low energy X rays, consistent with absorption by a thick cloud of gas. The combination of powerful X-ray emission, absorption of low energy X-rays, and the relatively normal optical appearance of the galaxy suggests that the source is a rare type of black hole called a Type 2 quasar.
The spread-out appearance of the X-ray source is an instrumental artifact. The distribution of X rays is consistent with this source being point-like. The X-ray and optical image panels have the same scale, which is 10 arcsec on a side.

This was such a hot day that for most of the time, this small copper was keeping its wings folded and pointing at the sun to reduce energy absorption and avoid over-heating. Eventually I managed a couple of shots with wings capturing light from the sun.
For me to observe, homeostasis in action.
With other small butterflies, on sunny days, I've been able to persuade them (esp. common blue) to open their wings by gradually shading them at a distance, then removing the shade.
Thanks to everyone who views, faves or comments on my pictures.

I never did like how last year's looked in gray. Also my quest for accurate transparent parts continues. Cranking up the absorption and anisotropy gets me a little closer to the real deal.

I walked by this plant for several days before I realized how amazing it is. Using what is available to it to grow, and how the leaves are flat for maximum absorption of the sun. Nature never stops amazing me!

Casa Cavassa, a refined Renaissance residence in the historic heart of Saluzzo, was transformed in the late 15th century by Marquis Michele Antonio di Saluzzo into an elegant urban palace blending medieval structure with Renaissance elegance. Today home to the Civic Museum Casa Cavassa, it preserves original frescoes, stuccoes, and period furnishings, offering a rare glimpse into the domestic life and artistic tastes of the noble elite in the Marquisate of Saluzzo. Its harmonious courtyard and richly decorated interiors reflect the cultural flourishing of this independent Piedmontese state before its absorption into the Duchy of Savoy.
Pour ceux et celles qui ont posé la question : les feuilles de coca aident à lutter contre le mal d'altitude.
La coca est une plante d'Amérique du Sud de la famille des Érythroxylacées. Elle joue un rôle important dans la culture andine, à travers ses utilisations rituelles ou médicinales. Les modes de consommation traditionnels de la coca en Amérique du Sud sont :
- la mastication de la feuille de coca, qui provoque une stimulation légère
-; l'absorption de tisane de feuille de coca, aux effets également limités.
ET pas d'inquiétude, on ne devient pas accro, car il faut BEAUCOUP de feuilles pour peu de cocaïne
ENGLISH :
We have in our pockets our cokes leaf and chewing gums, coca candies and our medicines against altitude sickness purchased in a pharmacy .. We are ready ....
For those who have asked, coca leaves help to fight against altitude sickness.
Coca is a plant from South America to the family of Érythroxylacées. It plays an important role in Andean culture, through its ritual or medicinal uses. The traditional consumption of coca in South America are:
- Chewing coca leaves, which causes mild stimulation;
- Absorption of coca leaf tea, also with limited effects.
AND do not worry, you do not become addicted because it takes a LOT of leaves for a bit of cocaine
As more people begin to experience parallel realities, some may find it necessary to dawn a parallel reality shock absorption mask from time to time. You can make your own out of paper or cardboard.
In anticipation of the absorption of New World First Bus into Citybus, Bravo Transport is gradually phasing out the NWFB branding. The route branding wrap for NWFB's new routes 790 and 795 no longer feature the NWFB logo. The Citybus logo is used instead with "Operated by New World First Bus Services Limited" marked below.

This is the Moon one day after full, rising over my local prairie horizon, with atmospheric refraction flattening the disk and adding a faint green rim to the top limb. This serves to illustrate the effect of refraction distorting objects on the horizon and absorption reddening objects when they are low in the sky.
This is a single shot taken October 29, 2023 from near home in southern Alberta, with the RF70-200mm lens at 200mm on the Canon R5.

G-ARRW, Avro 748 Series 1 (CN 1549) of Dan Air Services Ltd photographed at Dundee Airport in August 1980. Built in 1963 before the absorption of the Avro brand into Hawker Siddeley, the aircraft was initially leased and operated by BKS Air Transport before being purchased by Skyways Coach Air Ltd in March 1967. Sold on to Dan Air in April 1972 and operated by them until 1990 with a period of lease to Ryanair as EI-BSE. Ownership transferred to London European Airways - a Ryanair subsidiary 1990 and then on to Clewer Aviation in January 1992 following the winding up of London European, at which point it was reregistered G-MRRV and briefly operated by Independent Airways. In November 1992 the aircraft moved to Necon Air of Nepal as 9N-AMC and served with them until suffering an overrun and ground collision accident at Pokhara, Nepal in November 1997 following a hydraulic failure. All of the 48 passengers and crew survived but the aircraft was written off as was sister 748 9N-ACW. Taypark House visible behind.

The rising Full Moon of April 23, 2024, with the April Full Moon called popularly the "Pink" Moon or the Frog Croaking Moon.
Here it is rising over the yet-to-be-planted bare field near home in southern Alberta. Some thin clouds do add the pink tones, but the Moon is yellow from atmospheric absorption, as it usually looks when rising or setting. This was the Full Moon following the April 8 New Moon and total solar eclipse.
This is a single 0.5-second exposure at f/8 with the RF100-400mm lens at 400mm, untracked, on the Canon R5 at ISO 100. Noise reduction and sharpening with ON1 NoNoise AI. A mild Classical Soft Focus effect added with Nik Collection Color EFX. Taken from home on a night that did not look promising for seeing the rising Moon due to clouds.

Crafted a few Dollies after the last of the Suit of Dolls, Extinguisher was a more modest attempt of getting the capacity of adquiring water anywhere, though this time absorbing the humidity out of the ambient instead of creating it out of nothing like Eruei tried to do with Hadi. The Doll was in that regard, being able to absorb more water in its body than any Toa, but unfortunately it had an issue of reducing its motion and process speed the more water it absorbs.Not only that, its water absorption can't be turned off, so even when it's set to a minium it can turn quite slow if the ambient is too humid.
Just like a bodybuilder, Buzzwole is often seen striking poses that show off its massive, abnormally swollen muscles. The creature’s body covered in red blood-like filled sacs with veins that are said to be as hard as steel. Buzzwole’s crushing power and unbridled rage give way to fearsome physical damage, and worst of all, a stabbing attack from its silver proboscis which can drain and steal opponents’ energy! This giant extra-dimensional anthropomorphic mosquito packs quite a pulverizing punch!

Cowslip (Primula veris) is native to Europe and western Asia. According to Wikipedia:
Species from the genus Primula along with other ritual plants played a significant role in the pharmacy and mythology of the Celtic druids, likely as an ingredient of magical potions to increase the absorption of other herbal constituents. In the Middle-Ages it was also known as St. Peter's herb or Petrella and was sought after by Florentine apothecaries. Hildegard von Bingen recommended the medicinal parts only for topical use but the leaves were also consumed as food. Other common names at the time were 'Herba paralysis', 'Verbascum', primrose or mullein leaves.

Poem.
The mercury greys, the tree-lined ebony silhouettes, deep indigo and silver-coated marbling, gleaming, beaming off the cloud-reflected bay-
Dazzles and spell-binds.
That precious God-given ambience of early dawn blinds us but etches blurred images of heavenly proportions to our senses.
The mesmerising light, the near-silent water’s edge only broken by the lilting call of the oyster-catcher or the muffled comments of stirring sailors aboard their dreamy yachts.
These familiar sounds, the salt-laden odours of a near-calm bay and the silent, gentle absorption of the sun’s rays rouses and energises a myriad of life-forms to a glorious new day.
To witness this scene is pure bliss.
To hear, feel and sense it, is almost indescribable.
The rising Full Moon of June, dubbed the “Strawberry Moon” in the media, as seen rising over a prairie pond in southern Alberta, on June 9, 2017.
This is a single exposure stack, from a time-lapse sequence of 1100 frames, with images taken at two second intervals. Shot with the Canon 6D and 200mm lens.
Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve done stuff with OCs, so I’m back. I updated Goop’s feet and size.
L-R:
Goop:
Real Name: Unknown
Powers/Abilities, Can shapeshift into any shape at will and power absorption.
Weaknesses: Weighs one pound and a small gust of wind can easily blow it away.
Equipment: Snow Boots
Backstory: A cosmic rock hit Earth's surface causing a hunk of goop to explode out. The goop would soon get into a school and mutated into a child's art project making Goop. Goop would soon go into the Saviors' Headquarters by accident and gets recruited by showing his powers.
-----------------------------------
Botanist
Real Name: Jerry Cruz
Powers/Abilities: Plant Empowerment (gives strength and durability after getting some life force from plants.) and Plant Growth
Weaknesses: Has a soft side for animals.
Equipment: Uniform and fertilizer.
Backstory: Jerry's parents were botanists. They converted their garage and backyard to plant research facilities and Jerry was tired of unable to be in certain rooms, so he decided to start destroying the plants. However, he accidentally broke a shelf and an experimental plant fell and hit his head causing a concussion. A few years later, Jerry learned about his powers and joined the Saviors. Soon after the Saviors hired Goop, Jerry took care of Goop and even decided to adopt it.

Vulcan Materials U23B 2779 is spotting the empty rockrunner hoppers on the siding at Annapolis Jct, MD, August 29, 2018. The venerable locomotive was built for the Lehigh Valley by GE in November 1974 for the Lehigh Valley as their 503. Upon the LV's absorption into Conrail on April 1, 1976, it became CR 2779-a number it continues to display in 2018.
