As NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit began collecting images for a 360-degree panorama of new terrain, the rover captured this view of a dark boulder with an interesting surface texture. The boulder sits about 40 centimeters (16 inches) tall on Martian sand about 5 meters (16 feet) away from Spirit. It is one of many dark, volcanic rock fragments -- many pocked with rounded holes called vesicles -- littering the slope of "Low Ridge." The rock surface facing the rover is similar in appearance to the surface texture on the outside of lava flows on Earth.
Spirit took this approximately true-color image with the panoramic camera on the rover's 810th sol, or Martian day, of exploring Mars (April 13, 2006), using the camera's 753-nanometer, 535-nanometer, and 432-nanometer filters.
I think just about anyone who likes abandoned places and/or painting in Moscow has been here. It's so easy to find, get into, and there are always groups of teenagers hanging out there. But it's all coming to an end. Last time we went there were guards who (very politely) kicked us out, and said that the site will be redeveloped.
so much to explore. Let's.

Yellow Apricot Flower

Yellow Apricot Flower is an exploration in the contemporary human form. I explore the human form using exaggerations and distortion of different aspects of the figure to bring out an emotional and physical situation that the audience can become apart of. melding aspects of different cultural mythologies and the art that accompanies with it I create self contained short stories.
"They say, they want heaven"
"They say, they want God"
"I say, I got heaven"
"Well I say, I am God"
-Abel Tesfaye
Yellow Apricot Flower is a piece that is a fusion of several cultural mythologies and early Islamic and eastern Euro sudo-sciences. The main figure of the piece is an interpretation of the Hindu goddess Kali. Kali is known as the goddess of darkness, death, time, and annihilation. Kali is the consort of Shiva and is usually seen standing over his body with the severed heads of her followers enemies. Attached to her head are the six golden goat's head that are spewing smoke from their mouths. The goats heads are symbols in Catholicism that are used to represent the embodiment of evil, darkness,death;the devil. Even though the Pagan horn goat deity predates it, although it stood for wilderness, sexuality, and the life cycle. Looking at the goats you see there are crosses over their eyes as they spit a black smoke from their mouths as if they are being chocked to death by it. The goat heads are golden, a color given to ideals of worship. The tattoos going across her arms are depictions of alchemical lunar calendar that appear in numerous in multiple mythologizes for their use of tracking time. The combination of all these symbols are meant to portray an ending of time, a time of blackness. On the other side of the painting you can see a figure that the deity is emerging from, it is a king that has been skinned alive as a sacrifice to this creature.
Decades ago this company was a powerhouse of engineering and hi-tech development. They manufactured thousands of parts, including the U2 Spy Plane. This was the power plant for the complex.
High school and university students competed in the 2018 Human Exploration Rover Challenge event at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Students came from across the U.S. as well as several foreign countries such as Brazil, Germany, India, and Mexico. This event, which is normally a 2 day event, was shortened to 1 day in 2018 due to adverse weather conditions.

Very brief exploration of an abandoned former 1 star hotel in Lichfield.
I've been in a lot of abandoned buildings and this by far the creepiest one I've ever been in. Mostly due to the fact that there are people living in there. We didn't stay too long and the photos are a little sketchy sorry.

This is just 1 of over 6,400 images taken on a walk across Mexico City. Start at Mexico City 0001 and explore the route yourself online or visit www.urbanearth.co.uk to watch the films.
URBAN EARTH is a project to (re)present our habitat by walking across some of Earth's biggest urban areas. The media distorts the way we see our world(s) with stereotypical images highlighting the most extremes of places. URBAN EARTH aims to expose what our cities really look like away from the bias and spin of commercial agendas.
URBAN EARTH: MEXICO CITY was created over three days in July 2008 and is made up of over 6,400 images... one for every 8 steps of the walk (roughly).
URBAN EARTH is a movement that anyone can join - just find an urban area and walk across it. URBAN EARTH is an opportunity for adventure, exploration, freedom, community activism and dialogue. Find out more at www.urbanearth.co.uk and join the URBAN EARTH social network.
URBAN EARTH ROUTES
Geography is more important than many people think. A random route across a city may expose many things, but an URBAN EARTH walk is special because it attempts to reveal what a city is like for the people who live in it. URBAN EARTH is not about following the tourist trail or tracking down the most extreme places... it is about finding normality.
The route was carefully designed to show the distribution of wealth within the city. For example where the poorest 20% of the population might occupy 14% of urban space, roughly 14% of the walk travels through these most deprived areas. The length of the walk is also propotionate to the size of the city. Where possible the route also travels through areas with the greatest population densities.
See the routes at www.urbanearth.co.uk
“In 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: For the first time in history, more than half its human population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas. By 2030, this is expected to swell to almost 5 billion. Many of the new urbanites will be poor. Their future, the future of cities in developing countries, the future of humanity itself, all depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth.” STATE OF THE WORLD POPULATION REPORT 2007
