Though it survived the war, Krypton was scarred deeply by it. The formerly lush garden world was burned and blasted to mostly a lifeless desert, and a sterile, emotionally dead civilization—much unlike its predecessor—emerged. The population became isolated from one another in widely separated technological citadels and shunned all personal and physical contact. Procreation became a matter of selecting compatible genetic material that would then be placed within an artificial womb called a "birthing matrix". The isolationist planetary government forbade exploring space and communicating with other worlds.

Happy International Polar Bear Day February 27, 2022! A picture of my favorite polar bear family to celebrate the day.
We paid a flying visit to Bosham yesterday to catch the sunset which turned out to be a dead loss as it clouded over. Beforehand though the clouds were pretty good.

Old Baylor University, Independence, Texas. These columns mark the site of the Baylor Female College.
From the information sign at the site:
On February 1, 1845, the Republic of Texas chartered Baylor University. Independence - a Baptist center and one of the wealthiest communities in the Republic - was selected as the university site. The columns mark the location where Baylor University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the State of Texas and the largest Baptist university in the world, opened its doors in 1846.
on May 18, 1846 twenty-four young boys and girls began taking co-educational classes in temporary facilities on Academy Hill. During the next five years, Baylor President Henry Lee Graves expanded the curriculum to provide college-level courses and oversaw the construction of Graves Hall on Windmill Hill, the first step in establishing the permanent campus at that location.
When Rufus Burleson succeeded Graves in 1851, he altered those plans. Burleson separated the sexes and moved the boys to Windmill Hill to the Male Campus and primary university facilities. The Female Department stayed on Academy Hill where an imposing three-story stone structure was built. In 1866, the Female Department was replaced by Baylor Female College, which operated under the original Baylor charter but with a separate board of trustees.
In 1866, both institutions relocated within Texas. The Male Campus moved to Waco and merged with Waco University, now Baylor University. Baylor Female College moved to Belton and became the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor.
As always, your comments and faves are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.
I could see this Lenticular Wave Cloud forming up in the vicinity of Mt. Adams on February 4, 2009 as I was on my way to work, and boy it was a struggle not running away to Trout Lake! sigh... so I called anyone I had numbers for to encourage them to go shoot the cloud... and my brother was able to get some shots from Trout Lake. I have note seen his shots yet... but teh cloud was so BIG I was able to get these shots from work in Pucker Huddle, White Salmon, Washington. I was running outside inbetween fixing dinner!
Enjoy your day! I have to pay bills and go back to work again... sigh

We went to the desert. February 11, 2011. One of the most peaceful time spent in my life. We stayed there for 5-6 hours. Walked around, acted, shot funny continuous pictures. Shot this before the sun started setting. The sunset was one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen and felt in my life. This is Kuwait.
have a lovely day.

- In service with Scuderia Ferrari 2001-2005
- Used by World Champion Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello
- Subsequently converted into a luxury motor home
- Automatic transmission
- Registered in the UK
This Iveco Domino Orlandi-bodied motor coach was custom built for Scuderia Ferrari's Formula 1 operations in 2001 and remained in service with them until the end of the 2005 season. This was a period during which Ferrari dominated Formula 1, its lead driver Michael Schumacher securing the last four of his seven World Championships (2001-2004).
Iveco is an Italian manufacturer based in Turin and therefor the obvious choice of transportation for what is, in effect, Italy's national motor racing team. Some 12 metres in length, this Domino Orlandi HDH model rides on air suspension and is powered by a 380 hp engine, which drives via a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission.
Ferrari's Iveco motor coach was specifically designed for strategic meetings and interviews between the drivers – Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello – and other team personnel. In its original configuration, the vehicle featured two separate apartments with independent access, each of which was equipped with an LCD television, computer table, satellite telephone, internet connection, enclosed shelving, and wardrobes. In addition, each had its own physiotherapy table for post-race treatment.
The Iveco's next owner commissioned a full conversion into the ultimate luxury motor home. This involved making numerous improvements to the specification, which now includes upgraded electrical and mechanical components, a complete bathroom with ceramic lavatory, independent heating and air-conditioning systems, onboard 220-volt diesel generator, a Bose home theatre system, and a Hastens Luxuria double bed.
The current owner purchased the vehicle in 2009 ; maintained regardless of cost, it has covered fewer than 90.000 km from new and is described by the vendor as in overall very good condition. Finished in Rosso Corsa with beige leather upholstery, it still displays its distinctive 'Scuderia Ferrari' branding and is surely the ultimate in accommodation for the globetrotting motor sports enthusiast. Accompanying documentation consists of a UK V5C Registration Certificate, sundry expired MoT certificates, various invoices relating to the motor home conversion, and a Ferrari Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Team Principal, Stefano Domenicali. An intimate and unique piece of Ferrari's Formula 1 history dating from a period when the 'Prancing Horse' enjoyed almost unprecedented success.

We are preparing for another journey to the Lofoten, this time in early February to witness this wonderful archipelago in winter conditions as well. I can't wait to get there, but in the meantime I have to look at my images from our previous stays like this one, taken in Reine - Moskenesoya island - in the small hours of the night.
Taken in South Derbyshire, near the Leicestershire border.
I moved the folder these were on to do a backup and then forgot about them. I found the file today when looking on my backup drive for something else.
