Of course his fix is always destructive--Lord knows what he will do to the USA and to the world. We all are in for dangerous times.
Katla is an Icelandic volcano covered by the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap in the south of the country. It lies to the east of Eyjafjöll, another volcano considered to be related to Katla. It is one of Iceland's most active and destructive volcanoes, responsible for several jökulhlaups (glacial lake outburst flood).
How would you feel if kea birds fearlessly took your gears away or attacked your sheep in the alpine region of New Zealand?
The kea is a species of large parrot in the family Nestoridae found in the forested and alpine regions of the South Island of New Zealand. About 48 cm long, it is mostly olive-green with a brilliant orange under its wings and has a large, narrow, curved, grey-brown upper beak.
Keas are infamous for their naughty and destructive personality, earning them the title “Clown of the Alps.”
Due to their destructive tendencies, they encountered conflict with human settlers, leading to the death of 150,000 keas. But there’s so much more to Kea parrots than just being mischievous.

The Camp Fire was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California's history, and the most expensive natural disaster in the world in 2018 in terms of insured losses.
Named after Camp Creek Road, its place of origin, the fire started on Thursday, November 8, 2018, in Northern California's Butte County. Ignited by a faulty electric transmission line, the fire originated above several communities and an east wind drove the fire downhill through developed areas. After exhibiting extreme fire spread, fireline intensity, and spotting behaviors through the rural community of Concow, an urban firestorm formed in the foothill town of Paradise. Drought was a factor: Paradise, which typically sees five inches of autumn rain by November 12, had only received one-seventh of an inch by that date in 2018. With the arrival of the first winter rainstorm of the season, the fire reached 100 percent containment after seventeen days on November 25.
The fire caused at least 85 civilian fatalities, with one person still missing as of August 2, 2019, and injured 12 civilians and five firefighters. It covered an area of 153,336 acres (620.5 km2; 239.6 sq mi), and destroyed more than 18,000 structures, with most of the destruction occurring within the first four hours. The towns of Paradise and Concow were almost completely destroyed, each losing about 95% of their structures. The towns of Magalia and Butte Creek Canyon were also largely destroyed. By January 2019, the total damage was estimated at $16.5 billion; one-quarter of the damage, $4 billion, was not insured. The Camp Fire also cost over $150 million in fire suppression costs, bringing the total cost of the fire to $16.65 billion.
The same month, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), the utility company responsible for the faulty power line, filed for bankruptcy, citing expected wildfire liabilities of $30 billion. On December 6, 2019, the utility made a settlement offer of $13.5 billion for the wildfire victims; the offer covered several devastating fires caused by the utility, including the Camp Fire. On June 16, 2020, the utility pleaded guilty to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter.
The Camp Fire is the deadliest wildfire in the United States since the Cloquet fire in 1918, and ranks number 13 on the list of the world's deadliest wildfires; it is the sixth-deadliest U.S. wildfire overall.

Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand.
The city suffered a series of earthquakes between September 2010 and January 2012, with the most destructive of them occurring on 22 February 2011, in which 185 people were killed and thousands of buildings across the city collapsed or suffered severe damage. By late 2013, 1,500 buildings in the city had been demolished, leading to ongoing recovery and rebuilding projects across the city.
... are hard to achieve !
And I'm sure, it will only work with a global change of consciousness about the uniqueness of our planet and the real worth of its ressources, combined with a changing consumer behavior of every single one of us.
Let's see, if the results of the climate conference are more than "nice words" for a clean conscience while going on with this dirty and destructive business as usual ... ?
But one thing is clear ... the world will move on ... with or without us !
Happy Sunday !

Gypsy moth. Our native UK strain went extinct in the early 1900s. A local population of the destructive European species was discovered when they were building Fairford Leys estate around 2003 - eggs were probably imported in on timber. Pheromone traps were used in an unsuccessful attempt to attract and eradicate them.
The caterpillars are incredibly destructive, their hairs can be an irritant...and birds don't like the taste of them. But they look cute!
Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.. . . I longed for night and the rebirth in me of the being that merits love.

Some of the elements in this photo was produced with the new A.I Generative Fill in Photoshop Beta.
The stone house is real, it is in the Adelaide Hills and I photographed this house on July 5th 2018.
So I started with just this photo of the house ruins only.
I then add all the other elements with new A.I Generative Fill in Photoshop Beta.
This included the hills, sky, snake, lizard, skull, shovel, wagon wheel, windmill ,dried up well, dead tree, bottles, headstones and buzzards in sky and on tree,
It is as easy as drawing a shape on the actual photo, with the Laso tool, and typing in what I wanted to see in that area.
A.I. takes care of shadows and lighting and blending.
It is all on layers so totally non destructive.
It is incredible and scary at the same time.

In March of 1972, the North Vietnamese kicked off its largest and most destructive offensive. Dubbed the “Easter Offensive,” it began with attacks across the DMZ. For the south, men like Le Ba Binh resisted the attacks with élan, valor, and gritty determination.
Binh’s battalion held the ground defending the only major bridge across the Cua Viet River near Dong Ha. The bridge was strategic in that it was the only one that would allow tanks to cross. Binh and his men held their ground in spite of overwhelming odds. His training and leadership is what kept the unit together as his men fought for their lives.

It was 7:33 in the morning when I took this photo of this fiery sunrise over Madrid. As I looked at it, enjoying these vibrant colors, I couldn't resist thinking about our world and the wonderful creations made by God.
In these dark and troubling times, when we face the risk of global war, it seems as if the human being has not learned from past destructive conflicts between nations or religions. I can't understand why such selfish and terrible people can exist in this world. We have many natural treasures, we have a wide variety of enriching cultures, different climates, an exceptional nature and animal kingdom to enjoy.
Once again, the ambition and supremacy of some over others, intend to install fear among humans. It is something really inexplicable, even more in the XXI century.
From Madrid I send all my support and solidarity to the Ukrainian people who are forced to leave their homes, to flee their country or suffer constant attacks by the Russian army. Like all the inhabitants in this world, they deserve to live in peace, with their children, with their hobbies, with their work, with their lives...
Hopefully we can see that this new nightmare ends as soon as possible, avoiding human suffering and restoring peace throughout the world.
Best viewed large.
Have a great Thursday, and let us pray for the children and families suffering from these regrettable attacks 🇺🇦💛💙

Ardiente amanecer del jueves, Madrid, España
Eran las 7:33 de la mañana cuando tomé esta foto de este amanecer de fuego sobre Madrid. Mientras lo miraba, disfrutando de sus vibrantes colores, no pude resistirme a pensar en nuestro mundo y en las maravillosas creaciones hechas por Dios.
En estos tiempos oscuros y preocupantes, cuando nos enfrentamos al riesgo de una guerra global, parece como si el ser humano no hubiera aprendido de pasados conflictos destructivos entre naciones o religiones. No puedo entender por qué pueden existir sujetos tan egoístas y terribles en este mundo. Tenemos muchos tesoros naturales, tenemos una gran variedad de culturas enriquecedoras, diferentes climas, una naturaleza y un reino animal excepcionales para disfrutar.
Una vez más, la ambición y la supremacía de unos sobre otros, pretenden instalar el miedo entre los humanos. Es algo realmente inexplicable, más aún en pleno siglo XXI.
Desde Madrid envío todo mi apoyo y comprensión a las personas ucranianas que se ven obligadas a abandonar sus hogares, a huir de su país o sufren los constantes ataques del ejército ruso. Como todos los habitantes de este mundo, merecen vivir en paz, con sus hijos, con sus aficiones, con su trabajo, con sus vidas...
Ojalá podamos ver que esta nueva pesadilla termine lo antes posible, evitando el sufrimiento humano y recuperando la paz en todo el mundo.
Mejor visualizar en grande.
Que tengan un excelente jueves, y recemos por los niños y familias que sufren estos lamentables ataques 🇺🇦💛💙

This caterpillar, formerly known as European Gypsy Moth, is a non-native species to North America which can be destructive to a wide variety of trees during outbreaks.
Not the destructive kind of blaze – but instead it’s the beauty of a fiery Sunset spread across the Wisconsin skies behind an old wooden barn on Norwegian Road just a few miles from Stone Bank. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©

Price to Play
Song by Staind
Failed to see,
How destructive we can be.
Taking without giving back,
'Til the damage can be seen,
Can you see?
Can you see?
The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price to pay to play the game.
Apathy, the chosen way to be,
Blindly look the other way,
While you waste away with me,
Can you see?
Can you see?
The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.
The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.

Destructive therapy... - We came across this old reclining treatment bed on the top floor of a gigantic abandoned hospital complex that dates from 1871. What would have happened on this table.... After some research it appears that different types of inhumane treatments were used in the hope to cure the psychiatric patients. Closed in the early 80's and abandoned ever since. Little by little it gets structural problems...until the day it takes all its history down with it.
Fires can be so destructive and I wish those who are still trying to survive them the ability to and those who have lost loved ones sincere condolences. I cannot imagine all of your pain.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️❤️❤️

My nostalgia tour continues as light-chasing is still limited by recovery from shoulder surgery. A cold day in central Florida brought this Roseate into focus, giving me the eye. This is another comeback kid from the destructive plume trade that saw the price of feathers exceed that of gold.
Baby Taj, Agra. India.
Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah built between 1622 and 1628 is a Mughal mausoleum in the city of Agra. Often described as jewel box sometimes called Baby Taj is often regarded as a draft of the Taj Mahal. The mausoleum was commissioned by Nur Jahan, the wife of Jahangir, for her father Mirzā Ghiyās Beg, originally a Persian Amir in exile, who had been given the title of I'timād-ud-Daulah (pillar of the state). Mirzā Ghiyās Beg was also the grandfather of Mumtāz Mahāl the wife of the emperor Shah Jahan, responsible for the construction of the Taj Mahal for his beloved wife.
I forgot why I had the kind of bird feeder that prevented big birds like this rook from accessing the feed. So buying that fancy house one has provided a challenge to these very clever birds which they cracked with destructive aplomb. They land on the house one which tilts precariously and spills all the seed out on the ground and they broke the other seed holder when I was away with all that seed strewn across the ground. I was annoyed and yet I had to admire their ingenuity and rational in achieving their goal. This one is a very big bird, (as big as a cat) with beautiful glossy plumage and a scary, tough looking bill. It was standing on the branch that I had the house bird feeder on and it dwarfs it due to its size. You can see by its stance that it was clearly working out the puzzle.
Ightham Mote (pronounced "item moat"), Ightham, Kent is a medieval moated manor house. The architectural writer John Newman describes it as "the most complete small medieval manor house in the county."....In 1989, the National Trust began an ambitious conservation project that involved dismantling much of the building and recording its construction methods before rebuilding it. During this process, the effects of centuries of ageing, weathering, and the destructive effect of the deathwatch beetle were highlighted. The project ended in 2004 after revealing numerous examples of structural and ornamental features which had been covered up by later additions......It turned out to be the NT's most expensive project to date.
