Disaster !
that thin morsel on the right is one of yesterday's effort at cheese muffins - not enough flour, too much of the wet ingredients, result splat! what was i thinking probably not thinking at all!
thankfully the six muffin disasters are edible so great ingredients not going to waste, boxed and in the freezer for as and when
a confidence builder after yesterday's disaster. today's attempt resting on the cooling rack, with a misfit :) much better, phew! flic.kr/p/2rmtGio
cheese muffins www.recipetineats.com/cheese-garlic-muffins/
i used fine wholemeal plain flour, didn't add the garlic, used skimmed milk and added some dried herbs
i mixed the dried herbs in the dry mixture. next time i'm going to mix the herbs gently with the grated cheese to see if there's a difference to the taste of the muffin. though having said that, i've got thyme growing in the garden i may use fresh thyme instead
baked in the countertop mini oven flic.kr/p/2m3gaso

ps i'm not recommending any of these cookery adventures. they suit my personal taste. photographing to encourage myself to eat more healthily ...
i've created a group www.flickr.com/groups/cooking_is_my_hobby/ to gather ideas and encourage myself to continue with healthy eating by learning from others if you're interested in cooking, sometimes or a lot, or enjoy the cooking of others, you're always welcome ...
Darmstadt (GER) 2013 (exif date is not correct), one day before the photograph was taken, in the morning, the facade of the house (1870) collapsed for inexplicable reasons. Nobody was injured.
This natural disaster was caused by a factor of high tide, strong winds and the bursting of a dam ...
The results in human casualties and large number of victims could have been avoided 24 hours earlier, choosing to evacuate people ...
To the 21st century, we don’t dispose unfortunately any sufficiently evolve technologies to prevent the natural disasters happen…
But on the other hand:
* We could adopt avoidance behavior, while stopping building on areas of risk (flooding, earthquakes with destructive magnitude, tornadoes... )
* And we can, to the planet scale, adopt less polluting behaviors, to reduce the greenhouse gas, and thus to reduce the intensity of certain natural disasters, of which the climatic warming contributes to increase their intensity...
= French version
Cette catastrophe naturelle a été causée par un coefficient de marée élevé, des vents forts et la rupture d'une digue ...
Le bilan en pertes humaines et en nombre élevé de sinistrés aurait pu être évité 24 heures plus tôt, en choisissant d'évacuer les populations...
Au 21ème siècle, nous ne disposons malheureusement pas de technologies suffisamment évoluées pour empêcher les catastrophes naturelles...
Mais en revanche:
* nous pourrions adopter des comportements d'évitement, en arrêtant de construire sur les zones à risque (d'inondations, de séismes à magnitude destructrice, de tornades...)
* et nous pourrions, à l'échelle de la planète, adopter des comportements, moins pollueurs, pour réduire les gaz à effet de serre, et ainsi réduire l'intensité de certaines catastrophes naturelles, dont le réchauffement climatique contribue à accroître leur intensité...
* Nếu như nước mắt là ngôn ngữ câm lặng của nỗi đau
Nếu như im lặng là sự hùng biện cuối cùng của nỗi buồn
Thì vô cảm là sự ngụy biện cho một trái tim đã quá nhiều nỗi đau dồn nén ♥ *

From a small collection of real photo postcards depicting life in Amsterdam, Ohio. I believe this group dates to around the time of the famous April 1910 coal mine explosion at the Youghlogeheny & Ohio Company Mine. Here is a link to a story about the disaster in case you are interested: www3.gendisasters.com/ohio/2964/amsterdam,-oh-coal-mine-e...
In my mind, this is what the RPPC is all about-- capturing the history of America from the small town perspective. I obtained this group of 18 cards as one lot and I am fairly certain they were salesman samples as there were a few non-RPPC cards with the lot that had the typical ordering information on the back. All of these cards are unused with no postmarks or writing on the verso. At the time, I paid quite a bit to get the lot. I’ve never regretted buying this group as they tell such a powerful story as a whole. As a reminder, please do not copy or distribute my images with authorization.
Shocked and saddened by the sad news of the earthquake centered in Chengdu, our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of our Chinese daughter, from Chengdu. Nine years ago, we dodged disaster when the top 50 feet of a rotten Doug Fir gave way and fell on our family during a hike, Liu Yang, (aka "Janet") then 16, suffered only a small gash in her head. Here she is comforted by my wife, Kathleen, as they sit amidst the tree debris in the Salmon River, awaiting the arrival of rescue workers. Fate is arbitrary and capricous. That tree could have crushed us all, or it could have stayed put up in the forest canopy. Only Janet, Jack and Sadie the dog were along the river bank when the tree fell--other dawdlers had stopped on the trail for a rest break. Jack and Sadie jumped away and the big limbs and branches fell all around Janet, missing her mostly, and leaving only a small wound that required just a few stitches. Conclusions? Hard to come by. Except that for any of us, at any time, death can come in an instant. But if it isn't time for your number to come up, you're good to go, through almost anything.
"I know a drugstore cowgirl so afraid of getting bored
She's always running from something so many things ignored
I try to be not like this but I thought it'd make a good song
There's nothing to see shows over people just move along"

In the previous photo I told you how this factory was originally built for the Rapson Tyre Company in 1926. But no one could have foretold the 1929 flood.. That event is still the greatest disaster ever to strike the city of Launceston. Here is actual silent footage of the floods that killed 22 people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0TTrIhgRNk
All of this area around Invermay was completely inundated. The Rapson Tyre Company persisted after this initial setback, but more disaster was to follow. Here is a newspaper story with the details. www.examiner.com.au/story/6384130/new-tyre-venture-falls-...
Having been in administration since the flood disaster, the company's machinery was finally sold to Dunlop in Sydney in 1932 and the factory closed. Of course the major reason here was not just the fallout from the flood, but the Great Depression. It was the beginning of decades of slow economic decline in Launceston.
In 1938 wool and skin merchant L.W. Smith (whose name still remains on the smoke stack) took over the empty factory. But disaster was to strike this unlucky site again in 1942. In November of that year the biggest fire in Launceston's history reduced this factory/warehouse to a shell. We see some of this in the photograph here The brickwork in the smoke stack is so good, there was never any danger of it collapsing in the fire, and all these years later it stands strong.
Our team has trained with the Bucknell Public Safety Officers and the local Fire Department. In an emergency, they know the folks with the neon green hats are library disaster responders.
I was in mortal fear throughout Bryan Alexander's Northern Voice keynote that he would fall off the back of the stage and break his skull open.

The Disaster Artist opens this week, and I've heard amazing things! I can't wait to see it.
As many of you know, my aunt has moved to a Sr Living apartment. A few years ago she had given me a hide-a-bed sofa. Well now she needed it back, so she traded me for the cabinet that my 'Starbucks' now occupies. So we both won in the end, and now I finally have it out of my Living room, and into the family room.
My husband & I carefully carried it in ... but it appears not careful enough!! The only one left standing was good old Jack!
I had already put some of the furniture in place before I took this .... It was Much Worse!
We had to raise our LOTRs shelf to accommodate 'Starbucks', but I Love the new location!
From the Aurora Australis event of May 11th, another frame looking to the north-east over Dennes Point, Bruny Island, Tasmania. Constellation Crux (Southern Cross) in the top part of the image and the 1st and 2nd magnitude stars of the Milky Way obscured by the aurora itself just showing a couple of red bands forming.
I saw a post from another Tassie shooter alluding to an auroral Dune formation in the southern sky on that night. Their post showed the same green, sand-ripple like formation as in this pic.
I knew that had around four frames of the feature but I'd deleted them in the first pass thinking they were were just green tinged low cloud. I even had a photo of the rear screen on my phone so I knew I'd blown them away :-(
I had even re-formatted the card!!
This aurora type is in fact only recently identified and quite rare. After being quite pi**ed at myself, luckily remembered a bit of software on my old PC. Sure enough, I was able to recover them! Yay!
Disaster Averted.

This is one of those abandoned houses that I have passed by many times over the years but never really thought much of it. It is in a busy area and I always figured it would be completely trashed inside. I was in the area recently and after passing it, I asked my friend if he had ever been there before, he said yes and that it wasn't anything special. Fast forward a few weeks later and I decided to stop by to see if it was a worthwhile explore. I waded through deep snow and walked inside and was quite surprised to see the extent of decay, there were holes in the ceiling from where the water was getting inside, the kitchen as well as one of the bedrooms, had no ceiling at all! I flicked a light switch and was amazed to see that the power was still on!! This would work out well since I was exploring late in the day and it was starting to get dark fast. It looks as though this house had not changed much since it was built in the 50s or 60s, a great retro kitchen, there was wallpaper from both the 60s and 80s. I really quite enjoyed this location and the power still being on really added a surreal layer to the explore.
This home has been listed for as much as $3 million dollars but yet has not sold in several years despite being on a fairly large piece of land.
Euboea had its hardest time the summer of 2021. Multiple wildfires and poor management led to a disaster unlike any other Greece has faced the past decades. Hundreds and hundreds of green acres burnt, whole villages turned into ashes and the toll of animal lives crash you in tears. Many tried to live a normal life and hope for things to get better, as we could not do anything to help whatsoever. This photo was taken as the wildfire was about 30 to 40km away, the next day we had an emergency call to evacuate... So much sorrow.
WELL, I did have a good day today and tried not to let this get to me too much here on Christmas, but I got two big photographic blows today:
1) I pulled out my Raynox lens today and went to put it on my camera, only to discover that one of the two plastic tabs that hold it on had broken off in my luggage, rendering it unusable. After getting my rising feeling of panic under control as I realized I'm here in Florida without a macro lens now, I told myself I would get online tomorrow morning and have another overnighted.
2) Well, no use now, as right in the middle of shooting photos tonight, the image in the LCD screen flicked off and on and then went black.
Now the screen only displays black, and the camera only takes pictures like this one. I can view photos I took before on it, and I see all the little icons and such normally displayed on the screen, but no picture.
I looked it up; apparently this Black Screen of Death happens sometimes to Canons. The CCD just up and dies. Some descriptions said, "typically if the camera is in a hot or very humid environment." Well, I may be in Florida, but it's December, so it's not "very" either of those two.
I will have to send it in and have it repaired. You know that feeling of panic I mentioned at the thought of having no Raynox macro lens here in Florida? Yeah, well...
At least I have my S70. :-/
