Just realized I never did upload this.
You could say this was the prototype for the Medved vig.
...Which probably isn't uploaded on here. Ah, well.
A shot from my film archives: the beach at Porto Pollensa, Mallorca, after a violent storm. October 1997. 0892_120C088_06.jpg. Many thanks for views, comments and favourites.
Not traditonal, but we add a couple of dashes of Zatarain's Creole or Cajun seasoning for a little kick.
And we don't add a whole bottle of red wine, just a cup±, enough to give the broth some body.
Police, Secret Service, and Park Police all working to clean up Lafayette Park on the morning of 5/31 after last night's demonstrations
We were the southwest beginning of the huge winter storm that hammered the U.S., from Oklahoma City to Chicago and the northeast. We're still having record breaking low temps. It was -8℉/-22℃ this morning.
I went out for a quick walk to take pictures on Saturday in the snow. This was the view towards downtown. It would have been a much better view from Gas Works Park, but I didn't want to go that far with it so snowy. Most of the sidewalks weren't shoveled, and my toes were pretty cold in my rain boots, even with two pairs of socks.
Rafah Exodus
7th January 2009
Shortly before midnight last night missiles began raining down on Rafah in one of the heaviest Israeli air strikes since the current atrocities began. Continuous sorties pounded the southern Gaza city for over 12 hours. Many homes were destroyed or severely damaged, especially in the neighbourhoods along the border with Egypt.
Residents reported mass leaflet drops in these neighbourhoods by Israeli 'planes this afternoon. The papers ordered them to leave their homes in the areas stretching from the borderline all the way back to Sea Street, the main street running through the heart of Rafah, parallel to the border. This area is hundreds of metres deep and the site of thousands of homes. Most of these areas are refugee camps, where residents are being made refugees yet again, some for the third or fourth time following the mass home demolitions of 2003 and 2004 by Israeli military D-9 bulldozers.
A three hour respite was announced in the local media and residents saw this as the last possible opportunity to salvage some of their belongings despite F-16 fighter jets remaining in the skies over Rafah during this time. There were scenes of people picking through the rubble, children carrying bundles, donkey carts piled with bedding and trucks loaded with furniture.
Where will these families go? They are afraid to seek sanctuary in local UNRWA schools following yesterday's massacres in Jabaliya. They are being temporarily absorbed by the rest of Rafah's population – friends, neighbours, relatives. We have a friend in Yibna, directly on the border, who refuses to leave his home. We spoke to one woman in Al Barazil who has a family of 12 and simply doesn't know where to go and another woman in Block J who is literally in the street tonight. Her father is in his nineties.

A long driving day from the Mauritanian desert towards the coast in the direction of Nouadhibou. On route we saw the SNIM railway train connecting the iron mines at Zouerate with the port at Nouadhibou.
Use as you wish. All I ask is for a credit in the description of your artwork and post a small size image of your work under the texture.
Peace.

On August 4, 2015 a great storm with winds measured over 100 mph devastated portions of the forest of Leelanau, Michigan near Traverse City, with trees bringing down power lines and closing roads around Glen Arbor. Some of those forests will never fully recover. The piece of Birch log in this set of pictures was chain-sawed by workers out of a tangled heap of trees felled by the storm to clear a popular bike path.
In placing this artifact of the Aftermath of the Leelanau storm in juxtaposition with the Aftermath of Detroit's own slow economic and cultural storm, I hope to set up visual and conceptual tensions at various levels, aesthetic, philosophical, cultural, and ethical, among other possibilities.
I hope this set of images will stimulate and provoke reflection on Disaster and Aftermath, our responses to these, and humanity's place in Nature.
