A concept drawing of the site of The ExtraCare Charitable Trust's proposed new Coventry development in the Earlsdon Park area of the city.
Traverse City, Michigan used to be the home for the state mental hospital known as the Traverse City State Hospital. The facility was closed in 1989 and is now undergoing redevelopment as a recreation, retail and housing development known as Traverse City Commons. One of the building has been redone and it's quite interesting to walk through the lower level with business set up in little rooms which look in a way like former cells. The building above has not yet been renovated and still exhibits a certain Victorian creepiness. My processing of the shot was meant to convey that feeling as well. (The image looks a little too crunchy at smaller sizes)

This is a time-lapse of leopard frog egg development (likely northern leopard frogs, Lithobates pipiens). The real time was 66 hours and 18 minutes reduced to the video of 2 minutes and 13 seconds by one frame being captured every minute, representing 1800 x the actual speed.
I have shared and written about this time-lapse in the Homer Lake Wetland Blog at hlwetland.blogspot.com/2021/04/time-for-another-time-laps...

New York 28 Nov. 2017 - The Executive Board of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) today formally endorsed a new and ambitious strategic plan for the Organization for the next four years. Under the leadership of its new Administrator, Achim Steiner, the plan sets out a new direction for UNDP as it supports countries to end extreme poverty, reduce inequality and achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
UNDP’s Executive Board is made up of representatives from 36 countries. The Board provides inter-governmental support to and supervision of UNDP activities, ensuring that the Organization remains responsive to the evolving needs of programme countries. The Board carries out this mandate by, among other things, monitoring the performance of UNDP, approving programmes and deciding on administrative and financial plans and budgets. © UNDP/Freya Morales
Earlier this month, the European Commission (EC) held its tenth ‘European Development Days’ (EDD) forum at the Tour & Taxis in Brussels. The stated aim for this annual gathering is to, “bring the development community together each year to share ideas and experiences in ways that inspire new partnerships and innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.” Recognizing a connection between this goal and the United Nation’s (UN) 17 newly adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, also known as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development), the EC made the 2030 Agenda this year’s focus.
The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was invited to give the opening remarks and I was on hand with my press pass and camera to cover his address. He observed that the forum was “timely and influential,” and adding that, “[t]he UN counts on your ideas and your partnerships to build a better future for all humanity, for people, planet, peace, and prosperity.” Those four final ‘P’ words, along with ‘partnerships’ make up the 5 ‘areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet’ which the goals target.
Mr. Ban had been introduced by Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Vice-President of the European Commission. Someone I’ve had the chance to hear and photograph in the past. I was again left admiring her poise and grasp of the broad and ever challenging issues involved in foreign relations.
Following Mr. Ban’s address were reflections by world leaders and representatives from international organizations. Below are some of the people that I had the opportunity to hear and photograph. Also included are photos of interactive displays for participants, such as the virtual reality setup by the United Nations Regional Information Center (UNRIC) which allowed participants to see the world through the eyes of a refugee. UNRIC is also an organization I have worked for in the past and still shoot events with from time to time.
