Two years ago a destructive fire affected the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, an impressive monument of early Gothic architecture. It was the place where I used to linger for a long time, to be silent, in my frequent pilgrimages through the French capital. In February 2020 (on my last trip to Paris, before the terrible pandemic) I was again near the cathedral and what I saw gives me hope that in a few years this architectural gem will be reborn from the ashes, more splendid and stronger, like the Phoenix bird...

People who know me can attest that I have a self-destructive affinity to chocolates. I already have my tonsils removed 10 years ago as my EENT said that they were already "irreparably diseased'. I still get sick occasionally for excessive sugar intake but with "sore throat"- yes, now my esophagus is the one which gets inflamed now.
I know I really should stop. I try but not when my brother tempts me this box of delicious marzipan (part of his Christmas gifts). In just one sitting, midway in taking photographs of the colorful delights, I ate six. So let's see- at 180calories (50cal fat) per 3 pieces, they were easily 360 calories or about 2 hours of jogging. Aaargh!

Newly spray-painted over the council's destructive black daubs over former graffiti and springing out at the unsuspecting passing public is a brash-fresh heavy ace trump card-toting joker mural with a big " H I " to the local authority destroyers in chalk beneath. A kind of " HERE'S JONNY" moment, lol.
The sheer brass neck nerve of these kids :-)))
This is my sons favorite Monster Truck i call it the Destructive Force as they knock off things around the house leaving me a whole mess to clean up.
"The self-destructive society"
This is the third "teaser image" from the book, i'll upload more often from now on. The image is part of a larger series, focusing on the modern society's defects and its self-destructive energy.

A destructive storm cell that touched up the residents of Brisbane and Moreton Bay regions yesterday. I got caught in this beast at the end of the jetty shortly after taking this.
She had us pinned for 15 minutes while 100km/h winds, rain, hail and storm surge hammered us. Very frightening stuff I can assure you!

As I once complained about the tall building on the right was too destructive in taking a photo of Manhattan Bridge ! If you took the photo from the south of the bridge ( people mostly doing it ), then the tall building would be standing in the middle of the span and spoil the composition ! However if you take the shot in the north of the bridge as what I did, then the building is doing a good job in balancing the composition !
FTI: For those interested, 一 I am sure it's not new, but it is really new to me. As I took this photo with a 11 mm DX Lens with serioius tilting distortion. When I did the adjustment in PS, it chop out the top of the bridge anchorage that was too bad for me ! Then I tried again by adding " The height in canvas size, just roughly to make it in square ". then I made the Lens Correction again. Surprisingly that it didn't chop out the top !
Once again I claim this might be very common to those PS expert, as I am still learning myself !
This Japanese Beetle was one of many that we saw on our excursion out to the nature trail. These beetles cause a lot of destruction to the natural vegetation and are becoming quite a pest.
T-100 Ogre MBT
--------------------
A high tech medium-heavy tank.
A menacing, destructive heavy weapons platform.
It boasts twin AA 25mm autocannons, ATGM, and coaxial/turret-top machineguns. Seen from the front, the chassis looks like an Ogre, giving it the name it has.
The ATGM is able to target low flying air targets along with armour.
There are two variants: G and K. G employs a normal 125mm heavy tank cannon, while K is equipped with a lower range, high calibre 148mm gun. Both are capable of supermassive destruction.
As with most UT tanks, it features a three-tier protection system.
The first tier is the composite armour. It consists of basic armour shell with an insert of alternating layers of aluminum and plastics and a controlled deformation section.
The second tier is the Kontakt-5 ERA (explosive reactive armor). It severely reduces the blow from kinetic projectiles. They are in the form of blocks on the turret and body or as ERA plates underneath steel outer covering. It results in much better protection than simple steel armour as featured on many other non-UT tanks.
The third tier is a Shtora countermeasures suite. This system includes two IR "dazzlers" on the front of the turret in the shape of blocks, four Laser warning receivers, two 3D6 aerosol grenade discharging systems and a computerized control system. The Shtora-1 warns the tank's crew when the tank has been 'painted' by a weapon-guidance laser and automatically activates the aerosol grenade launchers, effectively jamming the incoming missile. The aerosol grenades are used to mask the tank from laser rangefinders and designators as well as the optics of other weapons systems.
For passive guidance rocket systems, IR dazzlers create a blinding field of infrared light, "blinding" the rocket as it's IR isn't visible anymore.
The Arena active countermeasures suite consist of a computer, incoming projectile warning sensors, and shrapnel launchers all around the tank hull. It detects an incoming projectile, and sends out a stream of shrapnel to meet the incoming projectile. It destroys the projectile while leaving the armour intact.
Powered by a hybrid diesel/electric engine. Fast, has good suspension, and is able to submerge completely into water without leaks. Employs an autoloader.
It has it's own air search radar, allowing it to use autocannons by themselves without external assistance. Range up to 3 kilometer radius.
The tanks are also fitted with nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection equipment. It includes a mine disabling kit. The EMT-7 electromagnetic-counter mine system is installed: the EMT-7 emits an electromagnetic pulse to disable magnetic mines and disrupt electronics before the tank reaches them. The Nakidka signature reduction suite is also equipped. Nakidka is designed to reduce the probabilities of an object to be detected by Infrared, Thermal, Radar-Thermal, and Radar bands.
A mineplow is attached to the front of the tank, making sure mines aren't a problem.
All tanks are installed with night vision and infrared cameras, with direct feed into screens inside the tank.
The tank fires anti-tank rounds with tungsten cores.

While meandering through these woods on Friday, marvelling at how destructive, at least in the short term logging is to an eco system I stumbled across this small uprooted tree. I love the way the roots are assembled, giving the feel of a structure rather than something more natural. I imagine the pixies taking shelter in here while all around them, the woods they are inhabiting and caring for are torn asunder by the demands of men.
On a side note its nice to get some warmer weather here in the UK this week. Clear blue skies are not ideal for my kind of photography but at least I can relax in the sun in my back garden for a couple of hours while I try to get over my second bout of tonsillitis in three weeks!
It was a quietly destructive stream of smoke and fire and screeching brakes on I-40 east. The frontage roads and both directions of the freeway were shut down as fire and ambulance crews dealt with the aftermath of a wind and dust storm that caused a four-semi pileup, to be followed by torrential rain.
Just to add to the eerieness of the post-dust storm atmosphere east of Conway, Texas, this rainbow appeared as rescue crews were operating. No one was traveling the roads; parking on the overpass bridge was the only option for a while until emergency crews finished.
THE SCIENTIFIC MAP OF SOCIAL DESTROYERS AND MANIPULATORSLook at this image: it perfectly represents the "fog of pretense." People who build artificial masks of honor, empathy, and decency, but hide absolute emptiness and deep, destructive malice behind them. Their success relies on the silence of their victims. Identifying them by their psychological and sociological names is the first step to neutralizing them.Here is the scientific map of the most detrimental characters in this society, capable of destroying people's reputations, careers, and mental health:
1. The Malignant Narcissist and "Gaslighter"Psychiatric Profile: A severe form of narcissism bordering on antisocial personality disorder. They possess a pathological need for control and power.Destruction Mechanism: They trip you up behind your back and then convince you that it is your fault or that you are losing your mind (Gaslighting). If they commit immoral acts, they apply projection: they publicly accuse you of their own professional or personal faults to deflect attention and protect their facade of decency.
2. The Machiavellian Overachiever (The Social Climber)Psychological Profile: Characterized by cynicism, emotional coldness, and ruthless pragmatism. For them, people are merely tools.Destruction Mechanism: They utilize mobbing and systematic sabotage. They overshadow your merits, steal credit for your work, and discredit you with superiors or the social group to appear indispensable and eliminate competition.
3. The Nepotist and the Fake MeritocratSociological Profile: An individual who exploits cronyism, blood ties, or relationships of submission, while simultaneously pretending to respect the rules.Destruction Mechanism: They destroy the social fabric by depriving capable individuals of opportunities. They protect the incompetence of their inner circle and actively isolate anyone demonstrating genuine talent, who is perceived as a threat to their system of favors.
4. The Sub-Clinical Psychopath (The Fake Empathetic)Psychiatric Profile: An individual integrated into the social system but clinically devoid of remorse, guilt, or genuine empathy.Destruction Mechanism: They constantly talk about "honor," "respect," and "empathy" to build a moral shield. Meanwhile, they study your weaknesses and secrets to use them against you in times of need, taking pleasure in the psychological collapse of others.
5. The Covert Narcissist (The Victim Manipulator)Psychiatric Profile: A variant of Narcissistic Personality Disorder characterized by apparent shyness, vulnerability, and a deep sense of being misunderstood.Destruction Mechanism: They never attack head-on. If you expose their shortcomings at work or in life, they immediately paint themselves as the victim of your "cruelty." They destroy your reputation by poisoning the surrounding environment with quiet slander, tears, and twisted private confidences, prompting others to isolate you.
6. The Histrionic Personality (The Scandal Factory)Psychiatric Profile: Histrionic Personality Disorder. Characterized by exaggerated emotionality and an obsessive search for attention.Destruction Mechanism: They live for drama. To hide their own misconduct or moral failings, they launch smear campaigns. They publicly accuse you or other women of being "immoral" or "enablers," destroying your honorability just to shift the gaze of moralists away from what they themselves do in the shadows.
7. The Everyday SadistPsychological Profile: A component of the "Dark Tetrad" of personality. They derive genuine psychological pleasure from the suffering of others.Destruction Mechanism: They are the engine of environmental mobbing. They create dynamics aimed at making you fail or humiliating you publicly. They sabotage your projects not for practical gain, but for the pure, visceral pleasure of seeing you emotionally break down.
8. The Hostile Envious (Malignant Envy)Sociological Profile: An individual consumed by the success of others; they do not work to climb up to your level, but rather to pull you down to theirs.Destruction Mechanism: They pretend to be an ally or a close friend. They destroy the victim's professional and personal honor through slurring (subtle, whispered denigration), spreading rumors about your mental stability, or insinuating that your success is due to sexual favors or misconduct.
9. The Organizational Psychopath (The Corporate Psychopath)Psychiatric Profile: A high-functioning variant of Antisocial Personality Disorder. Devoid of conscience, yet equipped with immense superficial charm and strategic intelligence.Destruction Mechanism: They strictly apply the "divide and conquer" strategy, pitting colleagues or friends against one another. If you become an obstacle or figure out their game, they plan your social expulsion or termination, manipulating executives with falsified reports and calculated defamation campaigns.
10. The Social Parasite / Emotional ExploiterPsychological Profile: A parasitic personality that feeds on the financial, psychological, or professional resources of strong and empathetic people.Destruction Mechanism: They latch onto you by faking devotion to exploit your skills and clean up their own public image. Once they get what they want, or if you refuse to be exploited further, they turn their back on you and paint you as a selfish monster, completely erasing the value of everything you did for them.
Digital portrait exploring the falsification of masks in contemporary life. Humans no longer wear masks to authentically inhabit roles, but to construct an artificial appearance: makeup, posing, and exteriority take precedence over inner coherence. The smoke surrounding the face symbolizes this fog of pretense, the distance between who we are and what we show. An invitation to reflect on honesty with oneself and others, and on beauty that comes from authenticity rather than the construction of a mask. Created using artificial intelligence.

Tachinids are of great importance in the control of destructive insects, particularly caterpillars and beetle larvae. For this reason several species have been used in the biological control of pests. For example, the sugarcane beetle borer population in Hawaii has been reduced by the tachinid Ceromasia sphenophori from New Guinea; the coconut moth in Fiji has been controlled by the Malayan tachinid Ptychomyia remota; and Centeter cinerea was transplanted to the United States to check the destructive Japanese beetle. The caterpillars of the armyworm may be up to 90 percent infested by larvae of the red-tailed tachinids
A beautiful caterpillar but it can be quite destructive and poisonous!
The gypsy moth caterpillar has been reported to produce a poison ivy like rash when some people come into contact with the hairs of the larvae (caterpillar) stage. The contact can be direct or even indirect, if the small hairs are carried by the wind and onto the skin or clothing of a person.
It is not a native species. Gypsy moths were accidentally introduced in 1869 when they were brought to the U.S. in the hope that they could breed with silkworms to create a hardier variety of silkworm and develop a silk industry in the US. Didn't work. But some escaped and they are now well established.
Name: Voodoom
Secret Identity: Jeram Umbaru
Powers/Abilities: Voodoo, Destructive Magic, Poison
Backstory: After illegal deforestation decimated the land around the village of Tiklan, the village's shaman and healer, Jeram Umbaru, swore vengeance against the members of the group he believed to be responsible. That had led him to Bricklyn city, where he intended to set wrongs right. It didn't take him long to deem the entire city guilty for one groups actions, and since then the elusive witchdoctor has preyed upon the citizens of the city with voodoo, poisons, and everything else in his arsenal.
Recently, authorities have finally managed to locate and detain Jeram, but it is unknown how long they can keep him.

Still waiting on a time when the work will begin on the damage inside the house! Don't know what the schedule will be until they open up the walls and determine just how far they have undermined the woodwork! Hoping for a minor impact but I also see how destructive they can be! Will not know anything until they open up the walls and assess the damage! When they begin work I will likely disappear for a while again! After completion new carpet will need to be installed throughout the house as well!

The month of July in Nebraska is mostly just outflow storms from about mid June on. Meaning extremely strong outflow winds in front of this storm. Destructive that evening with winds over 60+ mph.
Once the storm base moved closer I was able to get some incredible cloud to ground strikes that would make for some of the best lighting captures of 2018. Like clock work I expected a late night storm with some phenomenal definition.
Beautiful crystal blue lightning illuminated the night as the arcus (shelf cloud) approached from the due west. Severe warnings were in place & right in my direction. Got to my location, set up the gear and went to town... Nothing but Crystal Blue Thunderstorm Eye Candy!!!

De Grote Kerk or the "Big Church", was built in Brabantic style gothic between the 14th and 15th century, but much reconstructed after the destructive city fire of 1457. The church was designed by Everaert Spoorwater, a Brabantic Flemish who was born in Brussels and who designed or partook in the construction of numerous gothic buildings in Brabant, Zeeland, and Holland. It is distinguished by its large size, its stone vaulting, and its skewed tower which was never finished.
The houses in front of the church here are 17th to 18th century "beguinage" houses for single women of the time.
Dordrecht is the oldest city of the region of Holland (not the country). It was in the Middle Ages the largest, most developed and the most powerful city of Holland, due to its strategic location on a river delta crossroad on the Rhine-Meuse near the North Sea (and England), Flanders (to the south, connected by rivers), and Cologne and the Rhineland. It taxed traffic on the river and forced merchants to stop in Dordrecht and present their wares at its markets due to staple rights. By the 1500s Dordrecht became surpassed by booming Amsterdam, Haarlem, Leiden en Middelbrug, but it maintained its commercial wealth, political importance and ancienity during the Dutch Golden Age and afterwards. Today it is a mid-sized Dutch city in the Randstad, a highly urbanised region in the Holland region.
They are numerous in farmlands throughout New South Wales and Queensland, and have become so common in some areas that they have become something of a pest, and can be destructive to the trees in which they perch, by chewing the bark off smaller twigs.
We've had a series of hugely destructive storms in the past few weeks, with record rains, record snowfall, record cold (I think...) and winds well into the hurricane-force zone (up to 170 kmh). A lot of places have been devastated. Thousands of trees have fallen onto roads and power lines and houses and whatnot... including a lot of big ones here and there around our neighbourhood.
So I was kind of scared when Echo and I took a trip to my favourite park yesterday. I wasn't sure what we'd see in terms of storm damage. Turns out... nothing. Not a thing. Even the dead trees stayed intact. And this is in a park that abuts the ocean, and would've got the wind full force.
I did see a sort of flattened area, and went over to investigate. Turns out it was the scene of a fire... from a summertime lightning strike. I took some shots but couldn't come anywhere near to capturing how it felt... that burnt-out wild place... with charred tree trunks suddenly stark... their companion shrubs and grasses gone.
I did, however, find a gun. Which... believe me... was quite the eerily compelling experience... given that yesterday was one of those days that feels like permanent twilight... and Echo and I were all alone... and there was just such a sinister "vibe" in that fire stricken area. I was pretty sure the gun was fake but it was sooo heavy...
I took it home and managed to read the writing on its side. I Googled it and, sure enough, it's a toy pistol, likely made some time in the 1960s or 70s... and... even though it's a replica... considered (in some jurisdictions) an illegal weapon.
It looks like it's been buried for a long time. The barrel and working parts are stuffed full of muddy dirt and teeny tiny crawly things and whoknows whatelse, accumulated through the years. One of its side pieces is melted... presumably from the fire, which seems to have been a precursor to the gun's unearthing.
I'm not sure why I like derelict things but I gotta say... this gun is pretty cool. Mike checked it out and said, "Photo prop." Ooooooh yeah. You bet it is.
Here it is once again.
Another continuation of "Entrance." The destructive force human beings made to nature has led to this, the death of trees and all that lives with it.
This series has definitely led me to this space where I just don't want to stop creating. I created things I've never made before, and those new things opened my eyes that I am actually capable.
I do like to try something new, and there were so many new things I've experienced since the idea of this picture came out. I had this crazy idea to made the costume myself. The first thing that I needed to know was that I am not a fashion designer, nor a sewer. But I decided to try anyway, because there's nothing wrong with trying.
We got up at 3 a.m and drove to the location, hoping the weather wouldn't be a trouble. This time I brought a generator I borrowed from a friend, and it was nothing light. We moved the generator into the deep of the woods, and the ground was boggy. If only there was a smaller generator to start the smoke machine, things would not be heavier. However, I was happy that I worked with things I already had (or the ones I could just borrow). The next thing that happened was that I got home dirty, and my body stiff.
But the most important thing is realising that this combination of making something new, the exhaustion of moving a heavy generator, and by doing it my best, has finally turned into an image I am truly proud of, and all the effort paid off.

It was that time of the year once again...
The famous Elken warrior R.N.R.* Rudolph, who led the Great Reindeer Revolution that overthrew the malicious regime of the reigning Santa Claus, was gathering his elves and santas to go on his annual destructive rampage across the Urtican Planes.
Throughout the year Rudolph makes a list of the Urticans, categorizing them according to their behavior: the nice Urticans will become a bacon-wrapped turkey** and the naughty ones a lump of coal. In the head...
Unfortunately, due to a computational error*** the threshold for being nice has been set way too high, so practically all Urticans are being classified as naughty.
So beware Urticans, Rudolph is on his way and his sack is full of coal!
Hit Urticans with lumps of co-al.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
'Tis the season to be jolly.
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!

As for the sleigh: ironically enough, the lead Santa of the sleigh was chosen to be the rebellious S-ain't-a Claus, who has been dishonorably discharged after the great fiasco of 2015, where he forgot to show up on his only working day of the year due to a heated darts game with his buddies in the local pub. He has been charged with the horrendous crime of "Bros before Ho-ho-hos" and he pleaded guilty.
Just like R.N.R. Rudolph, he also has a red nose, but in his case it is not genetical, but a result of his excessive consume of mulled wine.
