"Bribie Island is the smallest and most northerly of three major sand islands forming the coastline sheltering the northern part of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. The others are Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island. Bribie Island is 34 kilometres (21 miles) long, and 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) at its widest. Archibald Meston believed that the name of the island came from a corruption of a mainland word for it, Boorabee. meaning 'koala bear'.
Bribie Island hugs the coastline and tapers to a long spit at its most northern point near Caloundra, and is separated from the mainland by Pumicestone Passage. The ocean side of the island is somewhat sheltered from prevailing winds by Moreton Island and associated sand banks and has only a small surf break. The lee side is calm, with white sandy beaches in the south.
Most of the island is uninhabited national park (55.8 square kilometres or 21.5 square miles) and forestry plantations. The southern end of the island has been intensively urbanised as part of the Moreton Bay Region, the main suburbs being Bongaree, Woorim, Bellara and Banksia Beach. A bridge from Sandstone Point on the mainland was completed in 1963.
Buckley's Hole, at the southern tip of the island, is an important bird habitat and refuge...
There are many types of wildlife present on the island. Kangaroos, wallabies, emus, various snake species, green tree frogs and dingos can often be seen venturing from the national park into the surrounding suburbs.
Pumicestone Passage, located between the island and the mainland, is a protected marine park that provides habitat for dugongs, turtles and dolphins. There are also extensive mangrove forests in this area. Eucalypt forests, banksias and heathlands are the predominant vegetation elsewhere.
Bribie Island is home to around 350 species of bird. This includes a range of honeyeater species, lorikeets, waterbirds and birds of prey. Flying foxes (also called fruit bats) visit the area, along with several species of small insect-eating bats. Flying foxes are important pollinators and seed dispersers while the insect-eating bats help control mosquito and other insect populations.
Buckley's Hole, at the southern tip of the island, was declared an environmental park in 1992.
The island seems particularly prone to instances of bee swarming.”

Development art for the Thai film "Khan Kluay". The art team and I worked together for a year just getting the look of the film down. Basing images on the script that co-director Aaron Sorensen, and writer Ariel Prendergast , and I were putting together.
There were some amazing artists at Kantana, including my pal, production designer, Prachanue "The Nue" Noree, who helped lead the art team.
Khan Kluay is different from a lot of my other work in that it was designed for the "Wide Screen" cinema, trying to get the feeling of a "Thai Epic". But still following the same simple "Shape Principles" of design. Designing for wide screen is fun, but challenging. At the time we were trying to make the compositions work for both the movie theaters, and the cut-off on people tv's at home.

The Taveta weaver (Ploceus castaneiceps) is a striking bird species native to East Africa, particularly found in areas of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. It is known for its vibrant chestnut-colored head and yellow body, with males displaying more vivid plumage during the breeding season to attract mates. This social species is often seen in large flocks, building intricate, hanging nests in trees, and primarily feeds on seeds and insects, typically in grasslands and savanna habitats.
His was a time of toils, which laid the foundation for us to rise from. As he reminisced while overlooking at the rapid developments, we should be ever grateful to our elders who helped built this city. For we reaped the fruits of their labour and likewise pass it on to our future generations.

A followup to my photo during the interesting loading of these vessels destined for scrap. The Development Way is a semi-submersible -- the floating cargo is nudged into position, then she lifts back out of the water and everything is welded and secured in place for the trip to China.
Something I hadn't noticed until I shot this closer detail is that the Straits Logger has another three small vessels loaded on top of her.

GoServ Global Development Director Chris Caswell talks about GoServ and Sukup Manufacturing Company's Safe T Home® and the 500 Safe T Homes that survived the earthquake in Haiti, how Sukup employees gladly work to produce the parts and how charitable groups help with the costs and labor to build the homes where needed around the world and nationally, while at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, IA, on August 31, 2022. They showcase a highly modified grain bin resistant to earthquakes, termites, and moisture. Grain bin houses or silo homes have provided disaster relief to families worldwide with day-to-day shelter for those who need a safe place to live.
A devastating earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, destroying homes, businesses, and facilities. During the recovery period, their teams saw an opportunity to build cost-effective refugee housing that would withstand natural disasters.
These homes have withstood Hurricane Matthew's 145-mile-per-hour winds for the 8-hour duration with minimal damage. Since then, they have provided nearly 300 silo homes in Haiti, as well as homes in Uganda for refugee children fleeing from South Sudan, Peru, and Kenya.
A Safe T Home® costs $5,700 for nonprofits intending to use the grain bin house for humanitarian efforts. Approximately ten homes fit on one shipping container. Other installation costs for shipping and building the cement foundation can bring the prices to roughly $7,500 for one of these homes.
The overall round design withstands high winds, while the near-zero seismic load is virtually earthquake-proof. Inside, 254 sq. ft. provides families with long-term refugee housing or short-term disaster relief.
These homes made of 20-gauge galvanized steel have a 75-year life expectancy. These silo homes measure 18 ft. in diameter with eight ft. sidewalls. They stand 13.5 ft. from the bottom to the roof peak.
The double roof system deflects heat, redirects rainwater, and ventilates the interior space regardless of wind direction. The roof can support 5,000 pounds for families who wish to add a sleeping or storage loft. Outside, three container spaces for cement and other heavy material provide up to 18,000 pounds of ballast to weigh the structure down against wind or waves. Window gardens can grow on the ballast material.
The galvanized building material provides 100 percent termite, fire, and weatherproof. The metal windows have lockable covers for security and 16-gauge, galvanized steel screens. Each home includes a solar panel, giving families renewable energy for lighting.
Homes also have water collection potential. Louvers in the heat shield capture rainwater for cooking, bathing, or growing crops.
GoServ Global is a nonprofit organization.

Long straight stretches of red road characterise travel through the Australian outback and this 260km stretch along the Kennedy Development Road between Hughenden and Lynd in outback Queensland is pretty typical. The road includes sections covered in fine red dust called “Bull Dust” and these sections are particularly hazardous when vehicles meet and the dust obscures vision … just another reason to be vigilant when driving in the outback of Australia!!

The Bureau of Land Management has a unique mission within the Department of the Interior. It's the scope of our work that sets us apart. We manage activities ranging from outdoor recreation to livestock grazing, from mineral development and energy production to conservation of natural, historical and cultural resources.
More than 10,000 employees across the nation take on the responsibility of protecting our resources and how they're used on public lands. Our people take an active role in serving the communities adjacent to our public lands. And we balance the country's population growth with its natural resources - a consistent source of new challenges for our creative employees to face.
Get to know more about our multiple-use mission and where we work through these photos of #BLMcareers.
