Father attends to the self-destructive efforts.

On this day in 1889, one of the most destructive men in history, Adolf Hitler, was born. He is shown here as he would have looked during his service in the Kaiser’s army during WW1. Wounded and temporarily blinded by a gas attack in October 1918, Hitler sat out the rest of the war in a hospital bed, and was shocked to hear of Germany’s defeat a month later. Like many German nationalists, he believed Germany had been betrayed by non-patriots, marxists and Jews. The rest of his life would be committed to restoring Germany to its former glory, establishing its dominance over the world, no matter the cost in human life or liberty. And costly it was.

This dainty little wild iris grows along the shores of wetlands or other swampy spots. Whether wild or cultivated, iris are mostly immune to being eaten by mammals like those destructive deer because they contain toxic chemicals in their foliage and rootstock.

Transmission of Biological Visualisation (ANTBV)

 

Artist: Russell Anderson

 

Medium: Bronze and Stainless steel

 

Date: 2011

 

Above the southern parkland and located on Redcliffe Parade is Russell Anderson’s artwork entitled Apparatus for Non-Destructive Transmission of Biological Visualisation. The work is an interactive sculptural device presented as a popular street-side amusement.

 

Russell, a longtime Redcliffe local, has created a fictional nautical legend of what was once a real 19th century explorer vessel, shipwrecked in Moreton Bay. This device, salvaged from the wreck, contains the captive essence of a sea creature. Viewers are invited to turn a handle, generating power to view the sea-creature essence contained within and its projected image.

 

This sculpture tells the story of an imagined local history. ANTBV acts as a fictional appliance or device that evokes the past by using design elements from another era. As the only remaining invention of a fictional, early nineteenth century naturalist, this device is an interactive sculpture that explores local fauna on a whimsical level.

Edge of volcano. Scary, beautiful, unimaginable destructiveness that is asleep.

Seasons greetings and happy holidays

 

Merry Christmas....

The major fires burning in Northern California's wine country continue to burn relentlessly, forcing additional mass evacuations. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) instrument on NASA's Terra satellite acquired this image the morning of Oct. 12, 2017. The fires have consumed hundreds of thousands of acres, resulting in significant loss of life, injuries and heavy property losses. The city of Santa Rosa is in the upper left corner; Napa is in the upper right; and Sonoma is in the center. In the image, vegetation is depicted in red and smoke is blue-gray. Active fires and hotspots, detected on ASTER's thermal infrared channels, are in yellow. The background colors have been subdued to make the yellow hotspots more apparent. The image covers an area of 35 by 57 miles (57 by 91 kilometers) and is located near 38.3 degrees north, 122.5 degrees west.

"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." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

 

[Honestly, I don't really know what this is. The idea for today's photo morphed in my head a good three or four times and then it turned into this. Which I don't think is bad, but it's certainly not my favorite. *However*, the cool thing about this is that it got me to build a blanket fort, which I haven't done since I was probably eleven. There is something about coming home on a Thursday night and building a blanket fort that I can't quite put into words. It made any of the daily tasks and tribulations I was earlier encumbered with to completely fade. I was awash with childhood memories: logistics of how to build it and how low the roof should hang and where are my blasted heavy books when I need them? Life: it's all a matter of perspective. What takes priority for each of us largely spells out how our lives will unfold. And tonight my priority was blanket forting.

 

This image also reminds me of my night-owl tendencies. I work an 8-5 job, but I will naturally fall into night-owl patterns every weekend or anytime I have a day off. I really am a star child.

 

PS: Fun fact: the wall backdrop is an image taken from the Hubble telescope!

 

PPS: I'm totally sleeping in this tonight. ♥]

During my seven and a half decades on this planet our country has undergone magnificent changes, some good and others destructive. But one huge change from my childhood is how our country has changed from one where the majority of livelihoods were made by folks who labored manually and knew what sweat on the brow meant. Many today have to don high-priced jogging shoes to experience what used to come free.

 

This photo was taken in 1913 in South Dakota and my grandfather is behind the wheel driving the mules. My guess is this photo was taken when the farmer's wives brought out a field lunch for the harvesters which they did in the mornings and many times in the afternoons as well.

 

Though there were exceptions I am sure, for the most part this generation had a strong sense of right and wrong, solid morals, a sense of community and almost all of them needed a good night's sleep due to the work they did each day. The departure of a society from hard physical work to mental labor may bring certain advantages but I know from experience as a lad that working hard during the day leaves little inclination or energy to act foolish in town at night.

 

(Note: My wife thinks I might be regressing to my childhood as I could spend hours colorizing old photographs but growing up in an age where we could not afford color film when it first came out, I still prefer some color in photos to simply black and white.)

The recent Rains have been very destructive in many parts of New Zealand, with wide-spread flooding and devastating slips, but those same Rains were life-giving for this Fern...!

  

Thank you for your very kind and very encouraging comments beneath my photos...! Without your encouragement, I'd have probably given up on photography years ago...

The destructive paths of previous avalanches are recorded on these steep slopes. From the mountain peaks to the lake shore, pine trees have been bull-dozed by tonnes of snow in the Canadian winter.

there are some people who are particularly self-destructive and you just want to shake them, slap 'em around and say WAKE UP!!! you know the old socratic adage, know thyself... well, how's bout it? i'll never understand sufferers. those who choose to make life harder for themselves and those around them. similarly, they'll never understand themselves, or anyone else. 'tis indeed a pity.

*grabs a violin*

on a somewhat related note, i feel very mature for my age. whatever that means. minus this weekend where i completely forgot my college fight song, "liquor before beer, you're in the clear, but beer before liquor, you've never been sicker." hot dayumn!!! timeless truths right there!

I was inspired by deforestation, specifically the ones caused by the destructive and illegal logging, which is now happening all over the world, including in this country I am living. This might be a further outlook of what is going to happen one day in the future.

 

Shooting this, I painted myself in dark coloured acrylic paints because I thought that I could make myself looking like a tree without doing much editing. In my opinion, I thought I was close of getting myself into real tree, but I was wrong. Yet I am glad I did try!

Storms...it can be violent, destructive, and frightening. However, just like life, there are two sides to just about everything. The beauty of storms is undeniable. Dark, towering clouds rolling in, often tinged with hues of gray, blue, and even green, create a mesmerizing sky. Lightning bolts slicing through the darkness, illuminating the clouds and the landscape in brief, brilliant flashes, add to the dramatic scene. The sight of rain falling in sheets, sometimes backlit by the sun, is both soothing and awe-inspiring. And after you have braced yourself, the cleasening nature of storms renews you!

In Japan we are witnessing the destructive power of nature... Everybody out there should somehow show their compassion for the victims of this disaster.

The horror we are seeing is the result of our naive belief that we can do with this planet whatever we want. But we can't. If we keep on living this way the rest of the world will suffer just the way Japan is right now. Stand up for the earth!

Mind, of destructive taste

I choose...to stroll amongst the waste

That was your heart

Lost in the dark

Call off the chase

 

You opened fire, and your mark was true

You opened fire, aim my smilin' skull at you

You opened fire...

I live tomorrow, you'll not follow

As you wallow in a sea of sorrow

On our hike this afternoon, we witnessed the aftermath of the very destructive May 2022 derecho.

 

A derecho is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated with a fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms known as a mesoscale convective system.

 

Derechos can cause hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, heavy rains, and flash floods. In many cases, convection-induced winds take on a bow echo (backward "C") form of squall line, often forming beneath an area of diverging upper tropospheric winds, and in a region of both rich low-level moisture and warm-air advection. Derechos move rapidly in the direction of movement of their associated storms, similar to an outflow boundary (gust front), except that the wind remains sustained for a greater period of time (often increasing in strength after onset), and may exceed hurricane-force. A derecho-producing convective system may remain active for many hours and, occasionally, over multiple days.
