I went to check out the giant inflatable duck art installation currently on view at Harbour City to see what the fuss is all about. And there it is, floating on water.
This gigantic rubber duck which measures 14 x 15 x 16.5 meters was created as a statement for peace. In the Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman’s own words, “the Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn't discriminate people and doesn't have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!” [1]
As with all things crazy in Hong Kong, what was most spectacular is not really the duck, but how many it has appeared on the media as well as how many people were seen photographing the duck on the docks.
On the evening news in Hong Kong, it was reported that some photographers were pushing each other just to get a space to photograph this floating duck. Oh humans.
The best place to photograph this is on the roof of Ocean Terminal where the car park is. There are much less people there and you get to see the duck well. I am claustrophobic so this is obviously where I photographed it.

Sometimes you just have to change perspective. THese beauties were growing in northern New Medico along the upper Pecos river.

Drents-Friese Wold National Park
On the border of the provinces of Friesland and Drenthe lies Drents-Friese Wold National Park. Within this extensive area of woodland and heath lie the shifting sands of Aekingerzand.
Het Nationaal Park Drents-Friese Wold is een natuurgebied op de grens van de Nederlandse provincies Friesland en Drenthe. Het Nationale Park bestaat uit bos, heide en stuifzanden. Het is vooral bekend vanwege De Kale duinen (het Aekingerzand). Dit stuifzandgebied is groot genoeg om de wind de kans te geven het zand ook echt te laten stuiven. Met behulp van grazers wordt het gebied verder vrij van gras en bomen gehouden.

I am loving gathering a bunch of stuff from the polytunnel and immediately chopping and serving. Kohlrabi, a couple of types of lettuce, rocket, courgette flowers. radish and courgette.

"A tribute to the botanists from the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, who sailed the world to bring back new and exotic plants.
- On the nose, juniper and collection of citrus - grapefruit, lemon and bergamot, with a hint of spice from the cardamom.
- On the palate there's warming spice notes from cinnamon, nutmeg and cubeb pepper following the juniper and a lingering hint of szechuan pepper on the tip of the tongue.
- 15 different botanicals, with an emphasis on blending the citrus notes and spice, it's smooth enough to drink over ice with a grapefruit twist, or to make a gin and tonic full of character.
Presented in a beautiful gift box featuring artwork inspired by plant drawings in Kew's archives. The print work on the box uses vegetable oil-based inks and water-based varnish which have not been tested on animals. As such, some minor rubbing and smudging may occur in transit."
The spiral galaxy appearing in this week’s Hubble Picture of the Week is named IC 3225. It looks remarkably as if it’s been launched from a cannon, speeding through space like a comet with a tail of gas streaming from its disc behind it. The scenes that galaxies appear in from Earth’s point of view are fascinating; many seem to hang calmly in the emptiness of space as if hung from a string, while others star in much more dynamic situations!
Appearances can be deceiving with objects so far from Earth — IC 3225 itself is about 100 million light-years away — but the galaxy’s location suggests some causes for this active scene, because IC 3225 is one of over 1300 members of the Virgo galaxy cluster. The density of galaxies in the Virgo cluster creates a rich field of hot gas between them, the so-called ‘intracluster medium’, while the cluster’s extreme mass has its galaxies careening around its centre in some very fast orbits. Ramming through the thick intracluster medium, especially close to the cluster’s centre, places an enormous ‘ram pressure’ on the moving galaxies that strips gas out of them as they go.
IC 3225 is not so close to the cluster core right now, but astronomers have deduced that it has undergone this ram pressure stripping in the past. The galaxy looks as though it’s been impacted by this: it is compressed on one side and there has been noticeably more star formation on this leading edge, while the opposite end is stretched out of shape. Being in such a crowded field, a close call with another galaxy could also have tugged on IC 3225 and created this shape. The sight of this distorted galaxy is a reminder of the incredible forces at work on astronomical scales, which can move and reshape even entire galaxies!
[Image Description: A spiral galaxy. Its disc glows visibly from the centre, and has faint dust threaded through it. A spiral arm curves around the left edge of the disc and is noticeably more dense with bright blue spots, where there are hot and new stars, than the rest. Opposite, the disc stretches out into a short tail where it covers a distant background galaxy. Around it, other distant galaxies and some nearby stars are visible.]

The Shelby Daytona Coupe (also referred to as the Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe) is an American sports-coupé related to the AC Cobra roadster, loosely based on its chassis and drive-train. It was built for auto racing, specifically to take on Ferrari and its 250 GTO in the GT class. Just six Shelby Daytona Coupes were built between 1964 and 1965, as Shelby was reassigned to the Ford GT40 project to compete at the 24 hours of Le Mans, again to beat Ferrari in the highest level prototype class. With the Shelby Daytona, Shelby became the first American constructor to win a title on the international scene at the FIA World Sportscar Championship in 1965. The Shelby Daytona has recently been chosen for historic preservation as a significant vehicle in the history of auto racing
Carroll Shelby Museum. Las Vegas.
As with all museums, this one is filled with beautiful art. The art of automobiles. This is a fantastic free attraction especially if you are a car enthusiast. Located near the south end of The Strip this museum is a must-see.
Shelby American is open to the public and provides a tours of its museum and production facilities. Shelby has been producing custom muscle cars since the sixties and continues to do so at its Las Vegas facilities. The museum is constantly changing with a different selection of cars to admire. The lineup of cars may feature the first Cobra CSX2000 to prototypes of the Series 1, Shelby GT-H, Terlingua, GT500KR, and others.

Homeowner talking with FDNY Firemen about an electrical issue after power-line was knocked out by tree falling down.
First of the private lines visited was the metre gauge electrified line from Genova to Casella - Ferrovia Genova-Casella (FGC). With the starting point being at Genova Piazza Manin which is approximately a 20 minute walk up a steep climb from Brignole station.
Whilst the line is electrified at 3kV DC, one diesel is kept in use for engineers trains. Bought from DB, D1 was formerly 252.902.
