"During the first months on Atlas, we marked out mining fields and progressively established outposts close to each field, to operate and maintain the harvesters from. My parents were stationed at one of those outposts for maintenance duty. For the remaining years of my scholarship in The Ring, before joining service as a drone operator on the sun-side, I only saw them on rare occasions. One of those was the regular medical check they would undergo, as traces of the raw materials on the machinery they were taking care of could be toxic despite all protective equipment. Our med staff quickly discovered that, curiously, not everyone reacted to such exposure.
After refining the resources, command launched unmanned carriers in closely spaced intervals towards other star systems controlled by the confederation. Given Atlas' thin atmosphere and comparably low mass, our engineers had developed highly efficient launch systems early on, halving our colony's fuel expenses for exports. The saved budget was partially redirected towards local causes, the majority however was shoved into the pockets of the Confederation."

It was declared a National Historic monument.
It was a property of Juan Narbona who exploited it like limekiln.
In the year 1738 there was constructed an oratory and a chapel that were the only ones between Montevideo and Villa Soriano
The Estancia de Narbona, (Narbona’s Farm), built by Don Juan de Narbona in 1732, is an archeological relic. Its Chapel and Oratory were the only ones that existed at those times between Montevideo and Villa Soriano. They were related to the Camacho family, and they are near the Camacho Bridge, surrounded by a beautiful park.

L'exploitation de la marne a fait disparaître le prolongement de l'ancien Luikerweg, et la plate-forme symbolise ce prolongement à partir d'aujourd'hui. De la plate-forme, vous regardez dans la carrière et voyez les lacs avec leur couleur azur profond, causée par le reflet du ciel bleu dans les profondeurs de l'eau. Le point le plus profond de la carrière est de 5m et la Meuse est de 45m à cet endroit.
L'origine de cette carrière est due à ENCI (First Dutch Cement Industry). Dès 1926, l'extraction de la marne très calcaire pour l'industrie du ciment a commencé ici, au cœur de Sint Pietersberg. 900 000 tonnes de ciment y ont été produites, l'imposante cheminée de l'usine ENCI dominant le paysage. Depuis 2018, l'exploitation de la marne a cessé et la nature a retrouvé de l'espace grâce aux Natuurmonumenten.
Marl mining eliminated the extension of the old Luikerweg, and the platform symbolizes this extension to this day. From the platform, you look down into the quarry and see the lakes with their deep azure color, caused by the reflection of the blue sky in the water's depths. The quarry's deepest point is 5 meters, and the Meuse River is 45 meters deep at this point.
This quarry was founded by ENCI (First Dutch Cement Industry). As early as 1926, the extraction of the highly calcareous marl for the cement industry began here, in the heart of Sint Pietersberg. 900,000 tons of cement were produced here, with the imposing chimney of the ENCI factory dominating the landscape. Since 2018, marl mining has ceased, and nature has regained its place thanks to the Nature Monuments.

"There's winners and losers in life "
- Charlie Mullins ( Pimlico Plumbers )
" Money is the root of all evil " is a common adage, but what is the root of money besides the exploitation and suffering of others?
As in a good part of the wealth generated in the 17th and 18th centuries - and which is tightly kept in the same families today - had its roots in enterprises such as the South Sea and the East India Companies which openly indulged in mass slave trading and oppression of millions. *

__________________________________________
* The East India Company (EIC), both British and Dutch,
was extensively involved in slavery and violence, including murder, as integral parts of its commercial operations and colonial rule from the 17th to the 19th centuries.
Slavery
Direct Involvement: The EIC was directly involved in the slave trade and the use of enslaved labour. The British EIC's involvement began at least as early as the 1620s, with a specific order in 1684 to transport 250 enslaved people from Madagascar to St. Helena. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) also used a global network to source enslaved people for its extensive commercial empire.
Source and Location: EIC slavery was largely concentrated in the Indian Ocean region rather than the transatlantic trade. Enslaved people were sourced from various Asian societies and Madagascar to work as domestic servants, labourers in factories (trading posts), and on plantations in company settlements like Bencoolen (Sumatra) and the Cape Colony.
Conditions: The conditions for enslaved people were brutal, involving physical abuse, high mortality rates from disease, and a lack of legal protection.
Abolition Pressure: The EIC eventually ended its involvement in the slave trade in 1834 due to increasing pressure from the British government and the abolitionist movement, though slavery as an institution persisted in some forms in British colonies until later.
Murder and Violence
Company Policy and Law: Violence, including murder, was a pervasive feature of EIC rule. The company's administration of justice often prioritised its commercial interests and the maintenance of authority over the protection of the enslaved and local populations.
Violence against Enslaved People: Enslaved individuals faced extreme violence. For example, some were murdered by their masters or suffered severe punishments. In one incident on the VOC ship Meermin in 1766, half the crew and nearly 30 enslaved Malagasy captives died during a mutiny.

The dutch wetlands , the grienden
In the Netherlands we have our own wetlands, looe a bit like a tropical swamp in the summer heat, while in spring time, one can enjoy the special shapes of the willow trees.
The grienden close to our home and in this serie are the Carnisse grienden.
The explanation below comes from: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griend_(beplanting)
A griend or ham is a moist field on which willow wood is grown. Friends were exploited on a large scale until around 1960, after which the demand for griendhout fell sharply so that many friends were no longer maintained. Sometimes they got the status of nature reserve. The reintroduction of the beaver in the Netherlands was an attempt to achieve a natural management of the friends.
Because of the possibility to grow biofuels, they have been in the spotlight again since 2010.
Location
Friends often lay along the sea inlets on the dikes outside the dykes and in the rivers of South Holland and Noord-Brabant, especially the Biesbosch. Due to land reclamation, most of them have now often been located within the dykes, with the exception of, for example, the Rhoonse Grienden. The plantations outside the dykes are subject to tidal movement of the water level. That is why these friends were often provided with a friendly hill; a small mound with a griendkeet on it. This was a simple place where the griend workers could spend the night; they often stayed with the griend all week. Simple houseboats were also used for the same purpose.
Cultivation
The trees were planted and regularly dropped about 25 cm above the ground. New branches grew from the stumps. An annually disposed griend was called cut friend, doubtful or doubtful. The thin twigs were especially suitable for making baskets. Friends who were harvested every five years were called 'heel friends'. The heavier branches were suitable for many purposes, from stems for tools to the braiding of zinc pieces.
The Alabama Hills are a range of hills and rock formations near the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada in the Owens Valley, west of Lone Pine in Inyo County, California.
The Alabama Hills are a popular filming location for television and movie productions, especially Westerns set in an archetypical rugged, isolated milieu. The first known movies to be filmed there are the lost films Water, Water Everywhere and Cupid, the Cowpuncher, both shot in 1919 and released in early 1920.
Hundreds of movies have been filmed there, including: Gunga Din, The Walking Hills, Yellow Sky, Springfield Rifle, The Violent Men, Bad Day at Black Rock, the Budd Boetticher/Randolph Scott "Ranown" cycle, How the West Was Won, Joe Kidd, Saboteur, and Django Unchained, Tremors, Iron Man, and The Monolith Monsters.
The Alabama Hills were named for the CSS Alabama, a Confederate warship deployed during the American Civil War. When news of the ship's exploits reached prospectors in California sympathetic to the Confederates, they named many mining claims after the ship, and the name came to be applied to the entire range. The Alabama was sunk off the coast of Normandy by the USS Kearsarge in 1864.

Pour l'exploitation vapeur, la société SLM Winterthur a réalisé huit locomotives, numérotées de 1 à 8. Ces machines présentent des caractéristiques communes, à ceci près que les cinq premières sont à vapeur saturée (206 tubes à fumée, puissance de 250 ch), et les trois dernières à surchauffe (90 tubes et 15 éléments surchauffeurs, puissance de 280 ch). La chaudière est inclinée de 10 %, de façon que l'eau soit à un niveau suffisant au-dessus du foyer même dans les fortes rampes.

Those of you who are kind enough to follow my exploits on a regular basis may remember a tale of near disaster at St Agnes Head in April last year. On that evening events conspired to very nearly lose me an expensive wide angle lens over an Atlantic clifftop when my camera bag decided upon a little adventure of its own and raced off down a steep slope towards oblivion without warning. You can read the story in these pages. I can't, because it still gives me occasional sleepless nights, but suffice to say the lens stopped short of the point of disaster and survived to face another day. In fact I'd only recently decided to purchase it as part of a plan to upgrade to a full frame setup before heading to Iceland three months later.
I knew from YouTube research and the tales of one Mads Peter Iversen, a rather wonderful landscape photographer from Denmark whom I follow almost religiously, that there was a secret beach where you could escape the chaos of Reynisfjara. When you arrive here, you might just find a place to park among the coaches that have disgorged their passengers onto the beach in huge numbers. Iceland may be huge and empty, but there are pockets where you may as well be in Morrisons when the pies have just been reduced to half price. Reynisfjara is one of those pockets, visitors inevitably drawn to its beauty and into our compositions on day trips from Reykjavik.
The secret beach is really only secret because it's camouflaged by a cluster of large rocks to the eastern end of Reynisfjara. It's not always accessible, so you need to pick your moment and keep a close eye on the tide and conditions, but if you can find it, you might just have it to yourself. We did. The first thing you find is that it's a surprisingly tricky place to shoot the Reynisdrangar sea stacks from. The cluster of smaller rocks in the foreground are a challenge to keep contained within the frame and avoid any edge patrol issues. Setting up takes up planning and concentration and can leave a middle aged man who struggles with multitasking vulnerable, something I soon learned to my cost. As I turned my back to fetch the lens cloth from my bag, the tripod succumbed to the shifting shingle under the weight of a heavy Canon DSLR and wide angle lens and toppled over. It was one of those moments that happens in an almost dreamlike manner, the ensemble falling in what seems like slow motion, but the only thing moving even more ponderously is one's own reaction.
Fortunately, (if that's the word for it) all that was damaged was my beloved and much used six stop filter, which shattered and buckled under the fall and wedded itself almost permanently to the thread of the lens. That was bad enough but at least the the lens was still functioning. At least it was until a month later, when 2000 miles further south in Majorca I stood on a very green slipway to photograph a white fishing boat on clear water. But instead of pressing the shutter I described a pirouette which isn't going to earn me a place in "Strictly Come Dancing" any time soon and landed on my elbow, before sliding helplessly on my back towards 4 feet of seawater. Luckily once more I stopped before landing in the water, staring in dazed confusion at a camera that had taken a bump on the concrete as I went down, while a woman shrieked from a balcony above that I was injured. I hadn't noticed. Two Majorcan fishermen nearby interrupted their peaceful lunch and patched up the elbow that was bleeding away as if I'd severed a major artery, yet all I worried about was whether the camera was intact. It's not like I haven't lived by the sea my entire life after all. There's a reason why a slipway is so called, yet lost in the moment I appeared to have forgotten that.
Three calamities all with the same lens. I wonder sometimes whether it's cursed. It used to auto focus almost instantly, whereas now it takes several days, if at all. I really should send it off to be repaired. There won't be a third photograph in this series. The white boat image never really justified the means in the first place if I'm honest.
Happy Friday all.

More and more people are realising these days that cows are not just commodities to be exploited for food. No human needs animal products to survive, no matter what you believe about protein and iron. It's all crap. Cows are individuals, they are social, maternal, intelligent, and have just as much a will to live as you do. Exploiting them unnecessarily is cruel and inhumane, no matter how quick the death or how happy their lives were. We all have the responsibility to make the decision to step away from animal exploitation by adopting a vegan lifestyle. It really is the least we can do.
Jesus frees Adam - (descent into hell) (1530-1534) - Girolamo Romano, known as Romanino (1485-1566) - Church of Santa Maria della Neve - Pisogne
La chiesa di Santa Maria della Neve, edificata nella seconda metà del XV, sorge ai margini di Pisogne, sotto lo spuntone di roccia reciso dalla strada che porta alla frazione di Fraine.
La facciata, molto semplice, con tetto "a capanna", è decorata a rombi policromi; il portale, in arenaria rossa, ed è sormontato da una nicchia semicircolare con una statua raffigurante la Madonna col Bambino, con due angeli affrescati sullo sfondo.
L'interno è costituito da un'aula unica, divisa in tre campate da archi acuti che portano all'arco trionfale e all'abside.
Una sola fonte di luce, quella dell'oblò sulla facciata, illumina gli affreschi del Romanino, terminati nel 1534, che ornano la chiesa. Il pittore bresciano fece chiudere le preesistenti finestre laterali per poter sfruttare interamente ed in modo uniforme lo spazio delle pareti.
The church of Santa Maria della Neve, built in the second half of the XV, is situated at the margins of Pisogne, under the rock ledge cut off the road leading to the village of Fraine.
The simple façade, with roof "hut", is decorated in polychrome diamond pattern; portal, red sandstone, and is topped by a semicircular niche with a statue of the Madonna and Child, with two angels painted in the background.
The interior consists of a single nave, divided into three spans by pointed arches that lead to the triumphal arch and the apse.
A single light source, the porthole on the front, illuminates the frescoes by Romanino, completed in 1534, decorating the church. The painter from Brescia did close the existing windows side to exploit fully and evenly space the walls.

Estado de Guerrero, México. Vieja ciudad colonial trepada en los cerros y barrancas nublados del norte de Guerrero. Durante la Colonia sus minas estuvieron entre las más productivas de la Nueva España. Actualmente México sigue como el primer productor de plata del mundo pero las minas más importantes están en Zacatecas. La orfebrería de Taxco sigue siendo la más prestigiada de México. La parroquia de Santa Prisca (1751-1758) en la imagen es una joya del barroco mexicano, construida gracias al auge de la minería y a la inversión del minero catalán José de la Borda.
"Due to the intense exploitation of its silver deposits, Taxco became one of the most important mining areas in the empire of New Spain. Today, in almost every corner of the town, you can find stores where locally-produced silver jewelry is sold." Mexico is still the first producer of silver in the world, but in the state of Zacatecas are now the main mining deposits, not in Taxco. The church in the image is Santa Prisca parish, one of the most beautiful examples of baroque constructed by José de la Borda one of the most richest man at the time. A spaniard who migrated during the 18th century, amassed a great fortune in mines in Taxco and Zacatecas in Mexico.
Avalon has been identified with Glastonbury in Somerset, and this may be connected with Celtic legends about an “isle of glass” inhabited by deceased heroes. It is equally likely to have been an attempt by the monks of Glastonbury to exploit the Arthurian legend for the benefit of their own community.

I'm still exploiting the little plant I bought about 6 weeks ago. I believe that these are my favorite flower to light and photograph because of the elegant shapes. Some of the black and white photos I've seen that were done a long time ago by famous photographers are amazing works of art.
Lighting stuff: I placed a YN560 in a Rogue grid behind the flower and slightly to the right at 1 o'clock for backlighting, and used a YN560-III in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox in front and slightly to the left of center for fill. Both flashes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

Obviously many 'western' images of African people are directly connected to exploitation and slavery. But it is often forgotten that there's also an idealist ideology that sees non-Europeans as good and free and noble, indeed as exemplary. This photo is part of the latter tradition. The insets provide some background.
In 1610 one Barthelomeus Moor (1573-1636) bought a piece of land on what is now the Rokin in Amsterdam and built a house there; the pictured decorative statement was probably added later in the style of Louis XIV. He'd been born in Antwerp and was one of many merchants, often Calvinist, who fled the southern Low Countries in the wake of their fall to the Catholic Habsburgs and the onset of religious persecution. They found religious freedom and independence from monarchy in the Dutch Republic. Around 1600 Antwerp's population had diminshed from about 100,000 to a mere 42,000, and something like 30% of the population of Amsterdam was made up of Flemish Dutchmen. Many of these immigrants were merchant families soon to become wealthy in the prospering northern Low Countries.
No doubt, the choice of Moor or his family for this sculpture was motivated by the meaning of his family name. But added to that are the connotations of freedom, independence and desire for trade imputed to non-Europeans exemplified by that self-conscious, proud 'Moor'. He could well be a Carib or else maybe a Guinean. The inset top right is after a drawing by John Gabriël Stedman (1744-1797) of a Carib family. The one on the left is in the first book on African Guinea (more or less present-day Ghana) by Pieter de Maarees around 1602. It depicts Dutch (?) and African merchants and traders. Note the similarity in head dresses of the 'Guineans', the Carib and our 'Moor'.
The Bruno Gernt House in Allardt, Tennessee was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places under criterion B for its association with a prominent individual. Bruno Gernt was instrumental in the founding of the town of Allardt in Fentress County. His efforts to establish clear title to land in the area made permanent settlement and development a reality. In addition, Gernt was an important entrepreneur in the region, helping to promote and exploit the natural resources on the Cumberland Plateau. Constructed in around 1881, Gernt's house has recently undergone renovation (at the time of listing on the NRHP in 1987). However, it still retains a high degree of historical and architectural integrity even today.
Bruno Gernt was born in Dresden, Saxony, Germany on May 15, 1851. He first emigrated to England where he joined other German emigrants. Fluent in both English and German, Gernt became the spokesman for a group of Germans intent on moving to the United States in 1873. This group established the settlement of Saxonia in Sanilac County, Michigan. In 1879, the Cincinnati-Southern Railroad created a link to the South, making colonization of the Cumberland Plateau feasible. Probably this same year, Gernt saw Fentress County for the first time, perhaps after visiting the settlement of Rugby in Morgan County. Realizing the potential markets made available by the railroad, Gernt was convinced of the possibilities for development in the region with its abundant natural resources. He became the land agent for Cyrus and James N. Clarke of Nebraska who held title to lands on the Plateau. By 1881, a circular had been printed, advertising the Plateau lands. The acreage offered for sale was given as 300,000 at $4.00 per acre in parcels of 25, 50, and 100 acres. In the first year, 9,000 acres of land were sold. Gernt helped directly by providing easy financing, requiring only one-fourth purchase price as down payment, and by finding settlers interested in establishing a permanent, self-sufficient colony. Named in honor of M.H. Allardt, Gernt's partner who died before actual settlement was accomplished, the colony was to be a model city. Under Gernt's direction, the town was laid out geometrically and lots were designated for churches, businesses, and schools.
