My Flickr site I have tried long and hard to access without success...:))
My Internet access will shortly be severely restricted due to moving with no 3G or 4G reception no broadband available so until such time I can resolve my connectivity when I move my uploads will be restricted to a Maccas lunch:))

Heavy rainfall last weekend combined with an unsually cold winter has produced ice jams and flooding along the Connecticut River.

A project about unrecognizability.
The nature of the connection forged between humans and animals is difficult to define. Although both mammal, our minds are wired differently. Still, there are many fundamentals of the heart that are similar. Sometimes, one can establish a rapport that has its own, undefinable language; its own emotional fluidity.
It is more than mere co-existence.
Eastern Sierra
I would stare at the images of Galen Rowell. Dipped in rich color, the textures almost palpable. Standing at the foothills of the Sierra its easy to see what moved Galen to create the magical images he did.
Must be viewed LARGE! Just type L
I know I posted a similar shot in 2010, actually I was hoping to get a cloudy sunset for this shot, unfortunately the clouds cleared out :-(
It has been quite chilly in Dubai these days, between 14 to 18 Celsius. I am not going to complain though :)

Every part of the human body is connected.
Without this connection, we would perish.
The human body is our gift from our creator.

Excerpt from urbantoronto.ca/news/2023/10/placemaking-and-more-public-...:
One of RioCan's key components when designing The Well was the importance of creating inviting and unique places that the public can use and spend time in, so the team visited a number of precedents in Europe and beyond. As described by Andrew Duncan (CIO, RioCan), "we knew we wanted a plan that was authentic to King West, that also had walking streets and outdoor space, and connectivity to the neighbourhood. One of the main things that allowed us to do that was the canopy concept."
Designed to enable an outdoor shopping experience while protected from the elements — this is the largest canopy of its kind in Canada, at 30,000ft² in area and consisting of 2,000 individual panes of glass — the design team also found that the canopy was an opportunity to add artistic influences to the project. The canopy structure itself was initially constructed in Germany, before being disassembled, shipped to Toronto, and then reassembled on-site at The Well during construction.
The canopy was designed to include greater undulation at the northern end of the central plaza, as well as additional movement to integrate with the bridges embedded throughout the retail component of the project. Mr Duncan explained that thought was also given to how the canopy would look when viewed from the residential units above, and that the glass panes are all fritted, (e.g. white enamel dots) to help reduce solar intensification and glare; providing some cooling to the spaces below. It was noted during the site tour that the lower level of the central plaza was noticeably cooler than the outdoor air temperature.

The road network of Madagascar, comprising about 4,500 unique roads spanning 31,640 kilometers (19,660 mi), is designed primarily to facilitate transportation to and from Antananarivo, the Malagasy capital. Transportation on these roads, most of which are unpaved and two lanes wide, is often dangerous. Few Malagasy own private vehicles; long-distance travel is often accomplished in taxi brousses ('bush taxis') which may be shared by 20 or more people.
While most primary roads are in good condition, the World Food Programme has classified nearly two-thirds of the overall road network as being in poor condition. These conditions may make it dangerous to drive at moderate-to-high speeds and dahalo (bandit) attacks pose a threat at low speeds. Many roads are impassable during Madagascar's wet season; some bridges (often narrow, one-lane structures) are vulnerable to being swept away. Few rural Malagasy live near a road in good condition; poor road connectivity may pose challenges in health care, agriculture, and education.
Drivers in Madagascar travel on the right side of the road. On some roads, to deter attacks from dahalo, the government of Madagascar requires that drivers travel in convoys of at least ten vehicles. Car collision fatalities are not fully reported, but the rate is estimated to be among the highest in the world. Random police checkpoints, at which travelers are required to produce identity documents, are spread throughout the country. Crops are transported by ox cart locally and by truck inter-regionally. Human-powered vehicles, once the only means of road transport, are still found in the form of pousse-pousses (rickshaws). Taxi brousses constitute a rudimentary road-based public transportation system in Madagascar. Rides on taxi brousses cost as little as 200 Malagasy ariary (roughly US$0.10) as of 2005, and vehicles involved are often overpacked, sometimes with the assistant driver riding on the outside of the vehicle. Stops on their routes are generally not fixed, allowing passengers to exit at arbitrary points.

La red de carreteras de Madagascar, que comprende alrededor de 4.500 carreteras únicas que abarcan 31.640 kilómetros (19.660 millas), está diseñada principalmente para facilitar el transporte hacia y desde Antananarivo, la capital malgache. El transporte por estas carreteras, la mayoría de las cuales no están pavimentadas y tienen dos carriles de ancho, suele ser peligroso. Son pocos los malgaches que poseen vehículos privados; Los viajes de larga distancia a menudo se realizan en taxis ("taxis rurales") que pueden ser compartidos por 20 o más personas.
Si bien la mayoría de las carreteras principales están en buenas condiciones, el Programa Mundial de Alimentos ha clasificado casi dos tercios de la red vial general como en malas condiciones. Estas condiciones pueden hacer que sea peligroso conducir a velocidades de moderadas a altas y los ataques de dahalo (bandidos) representan una amenaza a bajas velocidades. Muchas carreteras son intransitables durante la estación húmeda de Madagascar; algunos puentes (a menudo estructuras estrechas de un solo carril) son vulnerables a ser arrastrados. Son pocos los malgaches rurales que viven cerca de una carretera en buenas condiciones; La mala conectividad vial puede plantear desafíos en la atención de salud, la agricultura y la educación.
Los conductores en Madagascar circulan por el lado derecho de la carretera. En algunas carreteras, para disuadir los ataques desde Dahalo, el gobierno de Madagascar exige que los conductores viajen en convoyes de al menos diez vehículos. Las muertes por colisiones automovilísticas no se informan en su totalidad, pero se estima que la tasa se encuentra entre las más altas del mundo. Por todo el país hay puestos de control policial aleatorios, en los que los viajeros deben presentar documentos de identidad. Los cultivos se transportan en carretas de bueyes a nivel local y en camiones a nivel interregional. Los vehículos de propulsión humana, que alguna vez fueron el único medio de transporte por carretera, todavía se encuentran en forma de pousse-pousses (rickshaws). Los taxis constituyen un rudimentario sistema de transporte público por carretera en Madagascar. Los viajes en taxi cuestan tan solo 200 ariary malgaches (aproximadamente 0,10 dólares estadounidenses) en 2005, y los vehículos involucrados suelen estar demasiado llenos, a veces con el asistente del conductor viajando en el exterior del vehículo. Las paradas en sus rutas generalmente no son fijas, lo que permite a los pasajeros salir en puntos arbitrarios.

ECTOSPORE
Artist: Maria Simmons (@littlemadderroot)
Location: 28 Benton Street
Medium: Photography
Year: 2020
Maria Simmons is an Interdisciplinary Artist who explores ideas of interspecies connectivity, contamination and cohabitation through sculpture, new media, installation and bio-art. Simmons positions her work at the edge of the comfort spectrum, asking the viewer to consider their existence through a post-humanist lens. She challenges the notions of humanity as separate from nature and the concepts of dependency. She has shown across southern Ontario and NYC.
Simmons holds a BFA from McMaster University and is a current MFA candidate at the University of Waterloo.
The Ectospore series explores subterranean mystery and interconnectivity through Polaroid photographs of mushrooms I grew during the COVID-19 pandemic. The images are incredibly soft and mysterious, allowing for the mushrooms to seep with a spore-like boundarylessness. The mushrooms are lit with the grow lights used in their cultivation. The hi-res scans reveal the contamination of my own body when working with the mushrooms, showing small scratches, fibres from my clothing and actual spores from the mushrooms themselves. Together, these form hybrid images.

Metro Toronto Convention Centre, South Building: 222 Bremner Boulevard
Era: Post-War
Style: Various
The recent addition to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre is located within the Union Station Heritage Conservation District. Completed in 1997 and designed by Bregman + Hamann architects, the addition contains over 1 000 000 sq feet of exhibition space, the majority of which is located underground. The facilities built presence within the district is limited to the main south entrance, at Bremner Boulevard and Lower Simcoe, and several entrances to the underground parking, located in and around Roundhouse Park. The south building of the convention centre exists under lands of a variety of ownerships, including the railways and the City of Toronto. At the surface, the majority of these lands are part of the City’s open space system. Connected to the Roundhouse Park, CN Tower Plaza, and lands incorporated with the Rogers Centre, open air events associated with the convention centre regularly take place in this space.
The convention centre provides access to the Skywalk and PATH systems, and access through the convention centre to Front Street to the north, as well as attracting thousands of visitors to the city every year for its conventions and special events. The convention centre plays an important role within the City and via its connection to the PATH system and Skywalk, is functionally important in terms of its connectivity and use. However, the convention centre is not being considered a piece of fixed ‘heritage’ within the district, and will not be subject to the heritage review process.
