Pacific Black Ducks and ducklings are a common sight on the River Torrens and the Lochiel Park Wetland and represent the importance of water for supporting life.
River Red Gums are shown as they are an important element of the local habitat and Kaurna culture.
The Southern Purple-spotted Gudgeon is included in the design as this is a critically endangered fish and is symbolic of the fight to preserve our environment.
A Purple Swamphen is shown as it is another local species that is dependent upon the wetland.
The blue background represents water and the circles represent light reflecting on the surface and bubbles underwater.

iss060e022737 (Aug. 5, 2019) --- Expedition 60 Flight Engineer Andrew Morgan of NASA works with the BioFabrication Facility that is researching whether the weightless environment of space may support the fabrication of human organs. He set up the device to begin test-printing tissues. An incubator houses the tissue samples to promote cohesive cellular growth over several weeks.

Landscape: Zoomed in
Most landscapes are wide sweeping images. Try an alternative and zoom in instead.

One of the sessions at Living Planet Symposium focused on human adaptability to extreme environments. The discussion was triggered by the different experiences of the three speakers: ESA Astronaut Luca Parmitano, ESA CryoSat Mission Geophysicist Alessandro di Bella and Omar Di Felice, an extreme cyclist. All three have lived or worked in very difficult, albeit different, environments.

Closed in 2012 along with the rest of the Borders chain.
This shopping center in Dearborn, Michigan was built by the Kmart Corporation to house the variety of brands they had in the early 1990s. Few if any of these "Kmart Corp. shopping centers" were built outside of Detroit or Chicago. This particular shopping center was built to look slightly more upscale than the others, maybe because it was built five miles from the first Kmart store, less than 20 miles from Kmart's Headquarters at the time, and literally across the street from Ford's Headquarters complex.
This shopping center was originally opened with Builders Square, Pace, Super Kmart Center, Office Max, Sports Authority, Service Merchandise (the only place not owned by Kmart when it opened), and Borders Books & Music. In the 1990s Kmart sold most pace stores to Sam's Club (including this one), split off Builders Square (which later liquidated), then sold Office Max, Sports Authority, and Borders (which also has liquidated).
After Builders Square liquidated a Home Depot opened in its place. Super Kmart closed in 2003 and later became a Walmart. Sam's Club also closed then became Garden Ridge (since rebranded "at home"). The Borders store sits vacant as of early 2015. The Service Merchandise store is now Value City Furniture. Office Max and Sports Authority still remain in the shopping center.
It is neat to take into consideration that the whole shopping center was built by one retail company and it actually feels much more expansive in person rather that just seeing it through pictures. It is also important to note that in the more than 20 years this shopping center has been built not one retail store has modified its exterior in any notable way besides Walmart bricking in Super Kmart's cafe windows and auto center. I guess this shopping center was built in a fairly timeless design.

Allium is a genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants that includes the cultivated onion, garlic, scallion, shallot and leek as well as chives and hundreds of other wild species.
Strange birds and very tall guys.
Quite a remarkable sim with creative sculptures and fascinating things at every turn. A must visit place.
In recent years we sadly have been watching a significant loss of habitat in our neighbourhood as construction of commercial/industrial parks encroaches on some of the last substantial pieces of open fields left south of the highway. In winter you could typically see Snowy Owls and Northern Harriers making a living in these fields, but this past Winter I saw neither of these species as construction ate yet another chunk of the open spaces. In Spring & Summer this also serves as habitat for other birds such as Savannah Sparrows and various shorebirds. :-(
there is so much being done for environment, though it is still one of the most important issues this days.
