I think I found a piece of one T1000 robot from Terminator. Tell me I won't have to regret it...

Je pense avoir trouvé un morceau provenant d'un robot T1000 de Terminator. Dites-moi que je n'aurai pas à le regretter...

By mid-September Doc and I remove our truck camper from the truck - winterize it - and put it under cover. Once that is done, it is time to put the two utility boxes back into the bed of the truck. Those boxes are heavy and bulky, and I worry about him wrestling them into place, with out smashing his fingers - but somehow he manages. How many other eighty six year old men do you know that could tackle those chores all alone?

Universe... such a vast place. Laws of the Universe are perfect, there is no anomalies, everything works! The most logical answer would be that an intelligent mind constructed Universe... or maybe, a God? Now they tell us there is infinite number of universes... can you fathom that?! Only in our galaxy there is many stars as there is grains of sand on all the beaches of the planet Earth, and there is the same number of galaxies in our Universe... and again, in each of that galaxy you have that many stars, and that each star is the solar system with who knows how many habitable planets! Mind blowing... isn't it?

And then someone tells me we are the only intelligent species in the Universe... arrogant, isn't it? The entire Universe just for people... sure! Just as the Earth once was the center of the Universe. :))) Human arrogance has no limits...

Thanks for watching!

Happy Mono Monday!

These shots were taken from Point of View on Mt. Washington, above Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When Washington and Guyasuta met there was no Pittsburgh as it looks today from Point of View.

Point of View is a 2006 landmark public sculpture in bronze by James A. West; it sits in a parklet named for the work of art, Point of View Park, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The piece depicts George Washington and the Seneca leader Guyasuta, with their weapons down, in a face-to-face meeting in October 1770, when the two men met while Washington was in the area examining land for future settlement along the Ohio River.

The work weighs 750 lbs. and cost $130,000 for materials with charitable donations of land, pedestal and artist time.[1]

Point of View sits on the edge of Mt. Washington (Grandview Avenue at Sweetbriar Street) on the westernmost end of Grand View Scenic Byway Park and the Grand View Scenic Byway, a designated Pennsylvania scenic byway.

Until this summer - I had never heard of, or enjoyed, a fruit called "Donut Peaches". When the "fruit man" arrived in town this summer - he handed out samples of this delightful peach - and now I am hooked. I find them to be sweeter and juicier than a regular peach, and I can't wait to get my hands on some more.

**(Donut peaches are distinguished by their shape, which is roughly rounded and squat with a dimpled center at the fruit's stem end. The fruit's skin has a velvety finish and is flushed with tones of ivory, rose and rouge. Within the fruit's core is its non-clinging, easy to remove pit. Its creamy, juicy-when-ripe flesh is low-acid with a candy-like sweetness and a melting quality. The sweetness is due to what is referred to as the honey gene, a dominant gene that is found in all Chinese peach varieties. Documentation of peaches was first recorded in Chinese writings during 1100 B.C.)

So this is the final in the series of smoke photography from me combined in various cell slice stains from Elizabeth Normand of the Mark Zervis lab here at Brown. You'll probably see more of both but looking for new combos and looks.

Amazing the colours you see by the roadside in gulleys and gutters during Autumn ... Worth getting soaked in the rain !

Flowers catch our attention and take way our breath with their beautiful colors. I posted this image days ago in color - but wondered what it would look like in plain old black and white. Well here it is - posted for the Color My World Daily group - "black and white on Sunday." I rather like this version. 😊

Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

This beautiful old church is in the tiny village of Copper Center, Alaska. I think that the log construction is very interesting, from the foundation; to the old wooden cross on the top of the steeple.

This Caribou family is so happy to be enjoying fresh greens again, after a long cold Alaskan winter.

Caribou are native to the Arctic, sub-Arctic, tundra, boreal forest, and mountainous regions of Northern Europe, Siberia, and North America.

Caribou are also often referred to as reindeer, especially when domesticated. There are some differences between caribou and reindeer, though. For instance, caribou are generally wild and undertake long annual migrations, while reindeer can be both wild and domesticated.

Caribou are unique in the deer family as both males and females can have antlers. They are herbivores and can eat up to 12 pounds of food each day. Their diet mainly consists of grasses and plants in the summer, and they survive on lichens in the winter.

An ode to Karl Blossfeldt

Pleroma

(Greek πλήρωμα) generally refers to the totality of divine powers. The word means fullness from πληρόω ("fills") comparable to πλήρης which means "full", and is used in Christian theological contexts: both in Gnosticism generally, and by Paul of Tarsus in Colossians 2.9.

Gnosticism holds that the world is controlled by archons, among whom some versions of Gnosticism claim is the deity of the Old Testament, who held aspects of the human captive, either knowingly or accidentally. The heavenly pleroma is the totality of all that is regarded in our understanding of "divine". The pleroma is often referred to as the light existing "above" (the term is not to be understood spatially) our world, occupied by spiritual beings who self-emanated from the pleroma. These beings are described as aeons (eternal beings) and sometimes as archons. Jesus is interpreted as an intermediary aeon who was sent, along with his counterpart Sophia, from the pleroma, with whose aid humanity can recover the lost knowledge of the divine origins of humanity and in so doing be brought back into unity with the Pleroma. The term is thus a central element of Gnostic religious cosmology.

Gnostic texts envision the pleroma as aspects of God, the eternal Divine Principle, who can only be partially understood through the pleroma. Each "aeon" (i.e. aspect of God) is given a name (sometimes several) and a female counterpart (Gnostic viewed divinity and completeness in terms of male/female unification). The Gnostic myth goes on to tell how the aeon wisdom's female counterpart Sophia separated from the Pleroma to form the demiurge, thus giving birth to the material world.
