running a 365 project is kind of addictive. sometimes i think that the day i complete this one i'll immediately start another. some days i think that i'll never ever do this again. today i'm in the latter mood

The crystal sphere is addictive to me. I've taken this pic on White Rock Lake, Texas. It is hand held because there is not space for a tripod in my motorcycle. I hope you like it and I'll post some more soon.

I had never heard of this site, this art-making application, although it's been around since at least 2008, since I found a review of it dating from way back there (that's "way back there" in "internet years.")
It's a relatively simple program. You drop sand (you choose the color or intermingled colors) and create your artwork by slow accretion. There's the hissing sound of the sand to accompany this "pixels to sand" process (unless you mute it).
If you visit, be careful, as it's a little addictive. If you do visit, check out the Gallery. I think some people have been there for years making these things daily and some of them have achieved wild proficiency and have figured out weird little algorithms to create convincing (or almost convincing) curved lines. That part's not easy. If you go with the flow, you will probably end up more with mounds or mountains. Larger abstract forms that go against this fractal tendency are not superhard to do but how some people get incredible detail in their images boggles my mind, because it implies they're working line by line with the precision of pointillist painters. A little scary.
If you do a search on Flickr for "thisissand" a bunch will come up. And the same deal on Insta.
Enjoy (if it's your cuppa).
Nothing I enjoy more than driving around the Salton Sea at sunset, taking pictures of abandoned motels, houses and stores.
I processed this image in PSE 7. I used 2 actions, which can be found Here
I first croped the image and then used the "Color Popping" action. Then added colorful center which is in "Photo Effects" and resized the canvas with a 1" white border to accommodate the drop shadow which was added after. I then applied Signature, which I defined as a brush, and "Sharpen" action.
That's all there is to tell.

Kim has an addictive effect on photographers - we definitely love shooting with her. Very high energy, fun, adventurous, with a lovely curvy body. I took these photos on a lovely day in November 2020 at the Boise Train Depot. Very fun shoot!
Another first for me. An overcast day but I had to go for a drive. This "photography of birds thing" is addictive! :)
Touchy freely slidy slippy sensous Leohex fun... Totally addictive and we had some amazing post shoot fun 💜💜
My other addictive hobby ….
well, no origami but addictive knitting brioche :) !
This piece was really time-consuming but now I luckily finished it end of November.
It’s just uploaded especially for myself.
For interested people: the pattern is from the book "Knitting Fresh Brioche" by Nancy Marchant, p.105 and is called "Sushi Ushi Revisted".
Back on the trail of Southern Hawker Dragonflies again this afternoon. This is getting to be more addictive than smoking!
Male Southern Hawker Dragonfly (Aeshna Cyanea) - Askham Bog nature reserve, York, UK - Handheld macro, manual focus.
I've also received some really encouraging photography news over the past two days that I thought I'd share with you...
Firstly, I've been contacted by DFA Pictures who are interested in using some of my images from my 'Liquid Fun' set with the intention being to publish them in the UK Press. If anyone has had a similar invitation and has dealt with them I'd be interested to know what your experience has been.
Secondly, I checked my Emails earlier and was ecstatic to find an invitation from Getty Images for some of my work. I don't think I need to question the credentials of this invitation. Happy Days!
Thanks in advance for any comments or favourites you may wish to make.
Ages since I have taken a bug shot. I was quite addictive once I got into it again. 2 of 15 taken as that all the time I had.
An addictive way to kill time! :)
In the game, each player is dealt either thirteen or sixteen tiles in a hand, depending on the variation being played. On their turn, players draw a tile and discard one, with the goal of making four or five melds (also depending on the variation) and one pair, or "head". Winning comes "on the draw" by drawing a new or discarded tile that completes the hand. Thus, a winning hand actually contains fourteen (or seventeen) tiles.
Gambling can be addictive.
Even the lottery is a gamble.
The National Lottery is the state-franchised national lottery established in 1994 in the United Kingdom. It is regulated by the Gambling Commission, and is currently operated by Camelot Group, to which the licence was granted in 1994, 2001 and again in 2007, but will be operated by Allwyn Entertainment Ltd from 2024.

This is only of the most amazing regions I have ever visited in my life. The only one that can probably be compared to the landscape of Iceland. But this place is addictive. There are no other place in the work that attracts me more than Ladakh. I know it is probably not that good for the nature. The place is so spectacular because of less population, pollution and remote natural beauty. Over tourism, specially due to poor habit of Indians are slowly but steadily harming the fragile ecology of this very delicate region. But still, I love that place. In general I am among those idiots who carry all the trash with them. For example, every water bottle, chocolate wrapper, food packet all goes into a small pack of thrash that I always carry with me whenever I am out in nature with no possibility to have dustbins. They all travel with me on the mountain in my sack or in the car till I find a proper place to dispose them off. Unfortunately; many tourists in India are not like that. I have seen in my 2 weeks in Ladakh people throwing water bottles from the cars and bikes towards Indus! How can you do so ignorant! How??? I can't even think. How can someone throw trash in a place like that? Imagine you want to watch the crystal clear water of Pangong lake; and found water bottles all over the place. How would that look? Anyway; it seems a lot of awareness initiatives going on in the country; but still many people are not learning and soon they will probably also destroy this beautiful place and convert it into garbage. There are not much cleaning opportunity here. So if we don't keep it clean, we are just leaving garbage for our next generation! So whoever is reading this; I request them to thing twice before throwing trash to a none designated place. Wherever be it in the world.
This was my 2nd trip to Ladakh. Well theoretically 3rd if I also add my 1st trip of 1987. But as I don't almost remember anything from that trip, I don't really count that. My 1st trip of 2018 ended up with a tragedy with me being hospitalized due to altitude sickness within 1 week of the trip. I was very naive and probably a bit of inexperienced. I regraded all my mistakes from the hospital bed itself as I realized that my trip is over. I came back home and the day I reached home, I book the flight for the next year. I was very clear of all the mistakes I made as I have analyzed all of them during my couple of days stay in Delhi while waiting for the flight to come back home. So I was pretty confident that I can make it if I rectify those mistakes. So I returned to Ladakh on 2019. This time I took only 2 weeks. Big mistake. Massive mistake. In fact deep down I was still scared and not sure. I really needed that extra week to actually peacefully photograph all those out of the world places properly. Even though I know people go to Ladakh for a week or so; for a photographer; 3 weeks is minimum. I felt rushing in several places and had to skip some of the places that I did manage to photograph during the trip of 2018. Anyway, this was a trip with only my father and my wife and son are also interested to visit Ladakh. So probably I have another opportunity. In fact I want to go there also once during autumn.
Now coming to the picture. We were going to a sunset location that I spotted during my photo location finding during the morning that day. En route, I saw that the wind completely stopped and I can see a perfect mirror of the mountain. I hopped out of the car. Setup everything and took this panorama and could of normal shots. It was an window of 10 to 15 minutes max. After that the wind came in and all the reflections went off. So it was a pretty luck shot I must admit. Normally Ladakh is windy due to vast empty land. But I had few opportunities of some love reflections during my stay there.
Stay safe, comply with the authority strictly, stay at home, stop the chain of the virus.
Take care and help the society to recover from the crisis.
Ok. If you have already reached till here; may be you will be interested to see Ladakh in a bit more detail!
Click here to see the short film documenting the natural beauty of the region as I have experienced it.
Please have a look at my website www.avisekhphotography.com for all my recent works.
Have a nice weekend.
Hope you will enjoy the picture.

#BREAKING: #LEAKEDPHOTO shows government Officials, Scientists, and Sugar Executives collaborating on Sugar 2.0. It’s so addictive that even Zombies chose it over fresh brains!
-
There are some alarming problems with this photo. First off, ZOMBIES are in fact REAL! Apparently the government has been housing them deep in their hidden labs and now they are being abused to test and develop addictive products.
-
If this isn’t proof that Sugar is the most addictive substance on the planet, I don’t know what is. We are witnessing Zombies given a choice of freshly prepared brains or simple table sugar ravenously chose sugar! This is BAD NEWS for many reasons. These zombies will likely develop diabetes, or fatty liver disease and die before they can break out and cause the zombie apocalypse we all fantasize about. Now I’m depressed!
-
And WHERE did the Government obtain all this brain matter? I don’t want to know. It’s shocking and frightening at levels that have me pouring myself a double scotch with a bourbon back. And I only drink Vodka!
-
What about the terrible working conditions of the scientists, janitors and security personnel? OSHA violations galore! I mean they are exposed to toxic waste containers with zero protection and even worse, no barriers from the “testing floor.” And those security personnel armed with only batons and tasers? Where is the Zombie stopping fire power like shotguns or even a trusty 1911 .45 caliber pistol to defend themselves?
-
Not shocking but this all plays out while the Sugar Execs and Government officials are given luxury box seating to witness the mad science from a safe distance. Sheesh!
-
All this corruption aside, this is a pretty cool lab. You could test products on animals, cook meth, and develop Sugar 2.0 and god knows what else—and there are a lot of quirky Easter eggs I won’t mention you might find if you study the photo.
-
Fun aside, please educate yourself on the toxic and deadly effects of sugar:

These 3mm flies are addictive. Such a challenge to photograph them accurately.
These were feeding in the Calandrinia flowers, gathering nectar and occasionally getting pollen on their thorax from the stamens. They would have a feed, then fly to a plant and stand on a spent flower or on a bud seemingly to rest. The sand where the plants were growing was extremely hot, enough to burn through our jeans as we knelt on the sand.
@chris-lambkin on inaturalist.ala.org.au/observations/46224304 has stated:
"There are differing world-wide opinions as to the appropriate level for the Mythicomyiinae/Mythicomyiidae unfortunately. Here in Australia we are still recognising Mythicomyiinae rather than Mythicomyiidae as per the Australian Faunal Directory - biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Mythicomyiinae ."
So technically it should be Mythicomyiinae subfamily of Bombyliidae.

Just could not resist, Flickr is very addictive...This is a mirage, mirror, optical illusion, crazy ratatouille. You're probably thinking that I've lost a marble huh!?! :D
This is a mixture of several techniques (if I can use this term) that I've been playing with. Experiment is the word! Have you ever tried so many different things and at the end you don't even know what you've done? Yeah, you've done it too :D
Enough trash talk, I will catch up on visiting everyone in the morning. Hope you enjoy it!!! :D
I added another Eve Doll cat to my collection. I should probably stop now, but these sweet kitties are almost as addictive as real ones.
Caution: This can become addictive, so I will not bombard you'all with "infinite infinities"... but I'll use discretion to select some future few further examples... down-the-road

How many times have you heard some idiot proudly announce this:
“Smoking cigarettes is even more addictive than doing heroin!”.
Okay Surgeon General, um… I don’t think so. I've never seen a cigarette junkie lying homeless in the streets trying to feed his cigarette addiction. Nor do we have people dying by way of an overdose of cigarette. No sharing needles filled with every disease known to man with cigarettes either.
Jesus fuck why am I even trying to convince you?! Think about that statement for a second. Does anyone in their logical brain really think smoking a dumbfuck lousy cigarette even can be spoken in the same breath as HEROIN when it comes to anything, including addiction?
And I love the idiots that make this claim always have these mystery scientists to back it up.
“I read in some article in this magazine that this study was done to show that . . . . “
Oh shut up. Stop right there you lying scum! Don't make any more excuses as to why you smell like a tailgate pipe. You did not read anything in any magazine. Why do you lie like that? Your friend Douglass Dickhead probably told you one afternoon when you were out taking your 14th smoke break at work.
Face it, people who make this claim are just passing this moronic rumor around as to make their addiction sound much more intense than it is. So they make this crazy assertion by putting it side by side with the grand daddy of addiction junkie dealing loser street needle sharing drugs: heroin.
Besides, any publication and/or scientist that does make that claim with such idiocy should get their head out of their ass anyway. You don't need a scientific study to figure this one out. It's a fucking NO BRAINER!
Get over yourself man. Just quit if you want to quit. It’s not heroin, it’s not coke, it’s not meth, it’s not even in the same stratosphere as it's legal cohort cousin alcohol. It’s a lousy stinkin' cigarette. And past the act of doing it, and a few days and/or weeks of fiending for one, you can quit if you really wanted to.
And if you don’t want to quit, stop it with the whole heroin decree. I'm not impressed nor do I feel sorry for you. I dare you to stick a needle of some dope in your vein, get high, and then tell me about your little cigarette addiction.
Tell ya what, if they ever come out with a candy gum to cure a heroin addiction like they did with cigarettes, then maybe I’ll take you more serious. In the meantime, continue to puff away and shut the hell up about the heroin.
Thanks.
Your Friend,
Heroin Harry
