To expand the operational capability of the air expeditonary wing, I needed an eye in the sky - an airborne surveillance and command post: an AWACS in its pre 2000 configuration. It is 88 studs long by 84 studs wide. As far as I can tell, at this scale, it is unique. The only functional elements are a free turning radome and front crew door. As the wings are long and made of slopes laying horizontaly, I've used a fishing line tied to engines #2 & 3 to hold them into position. The system is discrete and works very well - for transport and display purpose.
American Oystercatcher
The American Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.

Example "document" indicating the ubiquitous nature of asbestos in our everyday lives demonstrated on this vintage asbestos product tag that touts, "Over four-million satisfied customers...".
The asbestos product attached to this tag is but only one of thousands of distinct asbestos consumer goods manufactured over the course of modern manufacturing history. While the commonly accepted estimate of individual asbestos products promoted by industry experts and governmental organizations is usually expressed as, "...over three-thousand...", some limited research indicates the number of distinct asbestos products seems to be at least over ten-thousand, so far (increasing daily by Asian companies).
It is simple to group particular asbestos materials into generic classifications like "Textile" or "Pipe Insulation" and then attempt to quantify product type applications in such a manner. However, not apparently considered in the general "asbestos products estimate" is an accounting of actual discrete asbestos products developed across an expansive list of companies, each with their own separate proprietary product lines. Companies developed their own variations of products with varying amounts of asbestos and other ingredients, thereby making each product distinct from other similar products.
For example, vintage industrial catalogs from some former asbestos manufacturers all document a large variety asbestos-containing products. From just a single company's catalog alone, such as one from Johns-Manville, it describes a diverse collection of several hundred asbestos products that were offered (that's just one company and only its industrial product line; not to mention its commercial, residential, & general consumer products). Using the industrial product example, there were dozens of varieties of asbestos packings and asbestos gasket materials alone, each with its own product name and formulation.
Now theoretically, multiply the number of companies that sold asbestos materials with the number of distinct asbestos products they made.
For extra credit, multiply the above postulated quantity of distinct asbestos products by the amount of worldwide customers that acquired asbestos products, then multiply by the number of repeat purchases and quantities of materials purchased.
In relation to the widespread presence of asbestos in our daily lives, it doesn't take long to sense the notion of the enormous scale asbestos is involved and that its scope may be far underestimated or downplayed.

The architecture of the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is rather subtle, rather than big flashy glass boxes that seem so popular these days it forms a series of discrete buildings within the landscape connected by corridors. The differing spaces form a series of spaces with unique qualities giving options to Curators when putting together new exhibitions.
More shots from my trip : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/albums/72157656314165922
From Wikipedia : "The name of the museum derives from the first owner of the property, Alexander Brun, who named the villa after his three wives, all named Louise. The museum was created in 1958 by Knud W. Jensen, the owner at the time. He contacted architects Vilhelm Wohlert and Jørgen Bo who spent a few months walking around the property before deciding how a new construction would best fit into the landscape. This study resulted in the first version of the museum consisting of three buildings connected by glass corridors. Since then it has been extended several times until it reached its present circular shape in 1991."

Introduction
This is a relatively-common butterfly that is unmistakable when seen at rest - the rings on the hindwings giving this butterfly its common name. The uppersides are a uniform chocolate brown that distinguish this butterfly from the closely-related Meadow Brown. Despite this uniformity, a newly-emerged adult is a surprisingly beautiful insect, the velvety wings providing a striking contrast with the delicate white fringes found on the wing edges. The dark colouring also allows this butterfly to quickly warm up - this butterfly being one of the few that flies on overcast days.
Variation in this butterfly is primarily focused on the rings on the hindwings, the lanceolata aberration being particularly striking, where the rings are elongated to form teardrops. Other aberrations occur where the rings are greatly reduced or completely absent. Huggins (1959) also describes a form in Kerry, Ireland, that is of normal size until 600 feet, when it starts to be replaced by a dwarf form that, at 1,000 feet, takes over completely.
This butterfly can be found throughout most of the British Isles, south of a line between the South Ebudes in the west and Banffshire in the east. It is also absent from the western parts of northern England, north-west of the Midlands, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. This butterfly forms discrete colonies where numbers vary from a few dozen to several thousand.
Aphantopus hyperantus
This species was first defined in Linnaeus (1758)
Conservation Status
This is one of the few species that is doing well, with evidence of increases in both distribution and population. It is not, therefore, a priority species for conservation efforts.
Habitat
A variety of habitats is used, although sites characterised as being sheltered and damp are preferred, such as woodland clearings, woodland edges and rides, meadows, hedgerows, road verges and country lanes, where the full heat from the summer sun can be avoided and where the foodplant is lush. The butterfly is not typically found in open areas, such as grassland or heathland.
Life Cycle
There is one generation each year, with adults emerging in the second half of June, peaking in mid-July, with a few individuals continuing into August. The flight period is relatively-short when compared with its close relatives.
Imago
Male and female are almost identical in appearance, although it is just possible to make out the feintest of sex brands on the forewings of the male, which contains special scent scales used in courtship. Males adopt an exclusive strategy of patrolling for mates and are often seen in ones and twos fluttering among the grasses that typify their habitat.
A mated female lays her eggs in a somewhat-chaotic fashion, typically perched on a grass stem and ejecting a single egg at random, often into the air, causing it to land in the vegetation. Both sexes take nectar from a variety of sources, Bramble and Thistle being particular favourites.
Adults feed primarily on Bramble (Rubus fruticosus), Fleabane (Pulicaria dysenterica), Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria), Marjoram (Origanum vulgare), Privet (Ligustrum vulgare), Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) and Thistles (Cirsium spp. and Carduus spp.).
Ovum
Eggs are a pale yellow when first laid, but soon turn a pale brown. The stage lasts between 2 and 3 weeks.
Larva
The larva is nocturnal and hides by day at the base of a grass tussock, emerging at night to feed on the tenderest parts of the foodplant. The larva hibernates while in the 3rd instar, but will feed on particularly warm evenings during the winter. Regular feeding resumes in the spring when the larvae can be found by torchlight feeding on grass stems, although they will fall to the ground with the slightest disturbance. There are 4 moults in total.
The primary larval foodplants are Cock's-foot (Dactylis glomerata), Common Couch (Elytrigia repens), False Brome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), Meadow-grasses (various) (Poa spp.) and Tufted Hair-grass (Deschampsia cespitosa).
Pupa
The pupa is formed in a flimsy cocoon, comprising just a few strands of silk, at the base of a grass tussock. This stage lasts around 2 weeks.

Robins migrate into the area for several months every year. They can be seen flocking in various trees and lawns in the neighborhood...but bushes with berries are like a magnet to them. This one looked back at me as if it was wondering what I was up to. For some reason, I never really gave much thought to describing an American Robin as a bird with a white eye-ring. Perhaps because the red breast is so obvious as a descriptive reference.
===============
From Wikipedia: The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory bird of the true thrush genus and Turdidae, the wider thrush family. It is named after the European robin[2] because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the Old World flycatcher family. The American robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering from southern Canada to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast. It is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
According to the Partners in Flight database (2019), the American robin is the most abundant bird in North America (with 370,000,000 individuals), ahead of red-winged blackbirds, introduced European starlings, mourning doves and house finches It has seven subspecies, but only one of them, the San Lucas robin (T. m. confinis) of Baja California Sur, is particularly distinctive, with pale gray-brown underparts.
The American robin is active mostly during the day and assembles in large flocks at night. Its diet consists of invertebrates (such as beetle grubs, earthworms, and caterpillars), fruits, and berries. It is one of the earliest bird species to lay its eggs, beginning to breed shortly after returning to its summer range from its winter range. The robin's nest consists of long coarse grass, twigs, paper, and feathers, and is smeared with mud and often cushioned with grass or other soft materials. It is among the earliest birds to sing at dawn, and its song consists of several discrete units that are repeated.
The adult robin's main predator is the domestic cat; other predators include hawks and snakes. When feeding in flocks, it can be vigilant, watching other birds for reactions to predators. Brown-headed cowbirds (Molothrus ater) lay their eggs in robin nests (see brood parasite), but the robins usually reject the egg.[

🇬🇧 The cobblestone street turns into a stage for daily labor: a woman pushes her cart while another figure passes by. The textures of the ground, the shadows, and the worn walls create a raw atmosphere that hints at both effort and the persistence of popular economies.
Such scenes often draw my attention for their discreet intensity, where an ordinary gesture holds a strong narrative weight.

🇫🇷 Les rues pavées se transforment en scène de labeur quotidien : une femme pousse sa charrette chargée tandis qu’une silhouette croise son chemin. Les textures du sol, les ombres et les murs abîmés composent une atmosphère brute qui suggère à la fois l’effort et la continuité d’une économie populaire.
Ce type de scène me retient souvent par son intensité discrète, où le geste banal devient porteur d’une force narrative.
Festival des lumières qui a lieu chaque année depuis 6 ans. Pendant 10 jours
les artistes exposent des "sculptures ou créations originales lumineuses" disséminées dans toute la ville. Certaines de ces œuvres ne figurent pas dans mes photos car trop discrètes.
GENEVA LUX (lux meaning light in latin)
Festival of lights which has been held every year for 6 years. During 10 days
the artists exhibit "luminous original sculptures or creations" scattered throughout the city. Some of these works do not appear in my photos because they are too discreet.
Aurorae are classified as diffuse and discrete. The diffuse aurora is a featureless glow in the sky that may not be visible to the naked eye, even on a dark night. It defines the extent of the auroral zone. The discrete aurorae are sharply defined features within the diffuse aurora that vary in brightness from just barely visible to the naked eye, to bright enough to read a newspaper by at night. Discrete aurorae are usually seen in only the night sky, because they are not as bright as the sunlit sky. Aurorae occasionally occur poleward of the auroral zone as diffuse patches or arcs
The booted is a small eagle, comparable to the common buzzard in size though more eagle-like in shape. Males grow to about 510–770 g (1.12–1.70 lb) in weight, with females about 840–1,025 g (1.852–2.260 lb) with a length of 40 cm and a wingspan of 110–132 cm. There are two relatively distinct plumage forms. Pale birds are mainly light grey with a darker head and flight feathers. The other form has mid-brown plumage with dark grey flight feathers.[2] It was found in a study investigating polymorphism that these discrete colour morphs follow a Mendelian inheritance pattern, where the paler allele is dominant.[3] In South Africa, 20% of the population is the dark colour morph. Booted eagles are typically seen in pairs or as solitary individuals.[4] However, the study found that the darker morphs are much more common in the eastern populations such as in Russia.[3]
Great Places in Canada - Rue du Petit Champlain
Standing high above Rue de Petit-Champlain on Côte de la Montagne, I could almost imagine the way this street must have looked in days gone past.
—
Rue du Petit-Champlain, one of the oldest commercial streets in North America, is lined with one-of-a-kind boutiques and restaurants. History suggests that it wasn’t always this way, however...
« Artisans lived in this part of town during the New France period. When Gerry Paris and Jacques de Blois came up with an ambitious project to give rue du Petit-Champlain a new lease on life in the mid-1970s, they kept its artisanal roots in mind. The original concept has changed since then, with the focus shifting more towards business, but the restaurants, performance venue, and many small exclusive boutiques preserve the special charm of this singular street.
HARD TIMES
In the early 19th century, epidemics that arrived from Europe in vessels groaning with immigrants forced the artisans to flee to Upper Town. In their place were poor Irish escaping their beleaguered homeland. Fatal landslides exacerbated the isolation of this forgotten street. Five times between 1841 and 1889, large pieces of the cliff came tumbling down, burying some 15 houses, for a death toll of 86. The authorities managed to solve the problem but “Little Champlain,” as opposed to the new Champlain Boulevard that was wider and hugged the river, was not any better off. The proof: as late as the 1920s the street consisted of wooden planks while most other streets were paved. By the late 1960s, the squalor had spread. The City even considered bulldozing the whole area to make way for a parking lot.
A REVOLUTIONARY RENOVATION PROJECT
Gerry Paris and Jacques de Blois had a dream—revitalize a section of Old Québec in the European manner. Their goal was to create a living community and restore the buildings. They bought a block of derelict houses and began to recruit artists and artisans interested in working and living there. The concept was very different from anything done before in Québec and elsewhere in Canada. They kept the traces of the many changes to the houses over the years, recycled as much material as possible, and spruced them up discretely so as to preserve the historical character of these buildings ranging in age from 200 to 300 years old. Paris and de Blois were very persistent in their bid to convince those involved in the ever-growing project that their approach was the right one. At the time, this way of doing things—which would become standard practice—went against the tide.
A FRUITFUL PARTNERSHIP
The work begun in 1977 wrapped up in 1980, with some 30 artisans living on rue du Petit-Champlain. The government of Québec got involved in a new phase of the project that ended in 1983. When Paris and de Blois withdrew in 1985 and sold to the artisan-residents who made up the Quartier Petit Champlain cooperative, there were twice as many residents and businesses. The government of Québec and Caisses Desjardins provided financial backing for the project from that point on. Subsequently, rue du Petit-Champlain gradually changed to become a popular and much-loved centre for culture, business, and leisure. In 2011 it won the first Great Places in Canada competition in the Neighbourhood category. Its social and economic vitality, urban appeal, and historical and cultural worth earned it that recognition. »

Rare version from the top-of-the-line 1974 Sansui receiver of the 3-digit series, mostly known as Model 881. This silver version with black applications is the model 9010 for the European market. In the sturdy wooden cabinet behind a thick aluminum frontface there is an excellently discrete amplifier with a sensitive stereo tuner. The power is 65 watt pc into 8 ohms.

Outside Zion National Park
Springdale

USA
An American Robin photographed near the lodge where I stayed just outside of Zion National Park, Utah. The robin had just finished eating a fresh worm out of the ground.
The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory songbird of the thrush family. It is named after the European robin because of its reddish-orange breast, though the two species are not closely related, with the European robin belonging to the Old World flycatcher family.
The American robin is widely distributed throughout North America, wintering from southern Canada to central Mexico and along the Pacific Coast.
According to some sources, the American robin ranks behind only the red-winged blackbird (and just ahead of the introduced European starling and the not-always-naturally-occurring house finch) as the most abundant extant land bird in North America. It has seven subspecies, but only T. m. confinis of Baja California Sur is particularly distinctive, with pale gray-brown underparts.
The American robin is active mostly during the day and assembles in large flocks at night. Its diet consists of invertebrates (such as beetle grubs, earthworms, and caterpillars), fruits, and berries.
It is one of the earliest bird species to lay eggs, beginning to breed shortly after returning to its summer range from its winter range. Its nest consists of long coarse grass, twigs, paper, and feathers, and is smeared with mud and often cushioned with grass or other soft materials. It is among the first birds to sing at dawn, and its song consists of several discrete units that are repeated.
For the 2nd night in a row, between 8PM and 9PM, rapidly developing storms hit my area with near continuous lightning. Although the most discrete bolts occurred after the rains (received 0.30" in about 10 minutes), most strikes did not reach the ground.
This anvil crawler is a single bolt that lasted about half a second.

My travel in Brazil (Maranhao) (July 2010)
Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, Brazil
"The Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses) is located in Maranhão state, in northeastern Brazil.
It is an area of low, flat, occasionally flooded land, overlaid with large, discrete sand dunes.
Composed of large, white, sweeping dunes, at first glance Lençóis Maranhenses looks like an archetypal desert. In fact it isn't actually a desert. Lying just outside the Amazon basin, the region is subject to a regular rain season during the beginning of the year. The rains cause a peculiar phenomenon: fresh water collects in the valleys between sand dunes, spotting the desert with blue and green lagoons that reach their fullest between July and September.
The area is also surprisingly home to a variety of fish which, despite the almost complete disappearance of the lagoons during the dry season, have their eggs brought from the sea by birds."

Fun and games observing a wedding shoot
The photographer was really going for it with the bride and groom, but the interesting stuff was going on with the wedding party in the background.. This bridesmaid( very gorgeous) was relaxed enough to dance a bit of a jig and all this was missed by the very active photographer, assistant with HD SLR and a vidiographer
Really, I was just sitting at my favourite spot and along comes this rather large and posh wedding group in their Rolls Royces etc. The photographer then, no doubt politely, asks the fishermen if they would not mind the interruption. No worries! So they move and make way anticipating some interesting entertainment.
Then this rather inflated wedding party were then indulged with not just the photographer but an assistant wielding a 5DmkII on HD movie mode being as creative as possible, AND a videographer recording the whole damn shooting match. I was just sitting there, but with my trusty Pentax, what was one to do? Shoot of course, but ever so discretely.
Here is the very cheeky bridesmaid.
Jealous? Nahhh!! but I could not resist giving the image a little "brindleyimages" treatment, just for practice!
Have a look with
Cela fait 30 minutes que j'observe cette chevrette qui mange sur le bord du chemin. Petit à petit le soleil commence à inonder la scène. Malheureusement pour moi elle ne daignera pas se mettre au centre, ne m'offrant d'elle que la furtive silhouette de sa tête. Elle a disparue quelques secondes après, emportant avec elle la lumière.
Those birds know how to be discrete. The reflections in the windows on the left hand-side make the building stand out. I also appreciate those little touches of green. No leaves in the trees. Naked trees and their silhouettes reveal a very useful backlight.
The Heath Fritillary is one of our rarest butterflies and was considered to be on the brink of extinction in the late 1970s. Renewed effort to conserve the Heath Fritillary required detailed knowledge of this butterfly's requirements and, as a result of research conducted by Martin Warren, appropriate habitat management plans were put into effect that saved this butterfly from extinction.
This butterfly is confined to a small number of sites in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall in south-west England, and in Kent in south-east England, where it has also been reintroduced into sites in Essex. It is absent from Wales, Scotland, Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. Although very local in its distribution, this butterfly can be seen in large numbers at some sites in good years. This butterfly is widespread on the continent and can be one of the commonest butterflies seen in some regions. This butterfly forms discrete colonies and rarely strays from the main breeding grounds.
I managed to see three of these beauties but it was only a brief visit and a bit late in the season.
This butterfly has suffered a long-term decline and requires targeted habitat management. This species continues to be a priority species for conservation efforts.

The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after, thusly providing symmetry over not only space but time, and exalting life’s foundational dynamic symmetry. Robust, ordered, symmetric growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in the arrangement of nature’s discrete elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which they and all their vital sustenance, as well as all the flowers and nature’s epic beauty, had been created—the golden ratio.

My friend purchased this small wood a few years ago. It was very run down when he got it. He has worked really hard to create habitats. The array of wildflower species was lovely. Not rare things but usually we see a few of these species not all in the same wood. He has taken out the dead wood and stacked it in discrete piles, mostly hidden behind foliage. He has planted lots of saplings of different species. He has made and put up bird boxes and built a hide with a feeding station. There are cameras to capture the wildlife all over the place and it is a private wood. The wood is the tail end of Trentham forest. So it would have been there for a couple of hundred years. The River Trent runs alongside the wood and the bank is full of plants.
