Hi Flickr, long time no see!
As the company I work for will be moving to a new premises this week I thought I'd opt for a Bionicle desk buddy like I did when I started working here back in 2015.
This is the Protector of Time herself, Vahi, who is a custom G2 Bionicle character who was the original wearer of G2's Mask of Time.
I have had Vahi built since early 2020 but have as far as I recall never shared her publicly, possibly due to that being the time I was starting to fall away from the wider Bionicle fandom. Her mask is a 3D print from Shapeways whose creator I don't recall, apologies.
UP TO eight residential tower blocks once owned by Wirral Council are to be closed.
New owners Wirral Partnership Homes says bringing the towers up to standard, coupled with low occupancy rates, means they are no longer viable.
The blocks earmarked for the axe over the next one to three years are Melrose, Sandbourne, Thornridge (all Moreton), Flambards (Woodchurch) and Thorsway (Rock Ferry).
Five high rise blocks are to be refurbished: Sunningdale (Moreton), Liscard House (Liscard), Brackendale (Woodchurch) and The Towers (Tranmere) with Knowsley Court (Rock Ferry) and Neston Gardens (Birkenhead) being subject to minor remedial work and further review.
Council's cabinet member for housing, Cllr GD, said that times have changed and the desire for high rise living has dwindled.
"Some of these blocks used to have long waiting lists for tenants. Now they can hardly fill them," he said.
These two tricksters got me. Linda took me out for lunch and left the door unlocked. When we returned she led the way into the house, as I turned from the hall to enter the kitchen, there was John. My reaction was a loud spontaneous "holy $h1t". John came up from North Carolina to see me for the weekend, before I went to the hospital. He has just moved from Missouri to NC.
Happy Fourth of July, Everyone! I saved this image taken on a photo stroll in June, for the moment I got it I thought right away that this would be a photo as American as can be. Passing the young couple, I stopped to ask if they'd mind a photo because the light was so right and they said yes. Then as I got my camera up to focus, they suddenly kissed. Woohoo!
The bridge over Tempe Town Lake is featured in many previous photos of my stream, and the young man's belt buckle too, ha ha! Couldn't believe that just at that moment the flag furled out so classic, so this was a photo moment meant to be. A set for the images is in "Tempe Time".
365 Project - Day 121
A hotel at an altitude of 2000m has several advantages - one of them being gorgeous starry nights. So we set up tripods one night (a disadvantage of the altitude is that this happened while temperatures where around -15° C) and started shooting. Unfortunately we chose a night with an almost full moon and wildly moving clouds. The results aren’t ideal but encouraging: More stars than I expected and the moonlight gives an almost daytime feeling to the landscape.

Built for the 3rd Annual Flickr Military Contest
Built 5/25/10
Large Diorama: Combined Arms
After a typical daily patrol, the mechanized platoon returns to base along the same route the unit has taken numerous times. The long road back to base is bordered on both sides by opium poppy fields and native farmers.
After passing one of the unsuspecting farm houses the American unit is attacked from a small building located at the 5 o’clock position of the Bradley Fighting vehicle. The U.S. forces have walked into a carefully and preciously planned ambush.
According to typical U.S. Army protocol, the Bradley and the 6 infantry soldiers immediately begin to engage the enemy threat. The Bradley turret quickly turns and begins to level the building where the attack began with its 25 mm M242 Chain Gun. The six soldiers in the rear of the vehicle quickly exit the Bradley and seek protective cover behind the steel reinforced aluminum armor. In the first few seconds of the firefight one American soldier goes down and helped to the cover behind the Bradley.
Multiple enemy forces pour from within the neighboring buildings, and the friendlies quickly realize they are greatly outnumbered. Realizing the unit is in grave danger, the commander calls to higher for air support. Luckily, there is a new UAV, the Seeker, in the air only 2 minutes from their location.
Unknown to the patrol, the leader of the enemy forces had planned to initiate the attack at a precise and exact time, which would call for the attack to begin when the American armored vehicle would be right on top of a buried IED (Improvised Explosive Device). The enemy commander’s plan has worked so far and he is about to detonate the IED with a cellular phone while hidden in the perceived safety of the larger building.
The American forces were ambushed with superior numbers and the enemy is about to spring the final trap that would spell doom for the entire unit. . . . . . . . . . . . .
However, thanks to the close coordination between land and air forces, the adept American commander is able to save his men from death by calling in a local UAV to level the area and eliminate the IED threat hidden within.

According to the owner of this produce farm, who is present in this image, there are only a few days left to pick these wonderful strawberries. He says this has been one of his best years for strawberries---but, pick-your-own numbers were down.
I was over at the farm at 6:00 am on this Saturday and people were frantically loading up berries and vegetables for the three area farm markets. Later three more trucks came and loaded up for sites in three nearby cities. These people work well together to get everything loaded and on its way.
At least four ethnic groups were represented in the 20 people picking for the owner on this day. The ages ran from teens to senior citizens. I took many portraits of the workers and had great cooperation and acceptance. The portraits are quick snaps---hey, they are working.
This is an HDR image made from five images. This helped me get the exposure that I needed.
Camera/Processing: I used my Pentax K5 and Pentax 18-135 lens to make this image. Aperture 3 and NIK Efex Pro 2 were used to post process.
Camera Settings: ISO 400, aperture f/9, shutter varied on five images, focal length 18mm

¡NADIE NOS QUITA LO BAILADO!
Ya estamos cumpliendo los 10 años y seguiremos por más.
En enero de 2001 se comenzaron las actividades en este centro social, donde se han brindado talleres recreativos para chicos del barrio, charlas-debate, proyecciones de películas, documentales, infantiles. Con mucho esfuerzo y la gran ayuda de compas, amistades y vecinos creamos cooperativas de trabajo autogestivo, venta de pan casero. Hoy por hoy, seguimos brindando talleres abiertos al público, contamos con una biblioteca con abundante material sobre la lucha social, novelas, cuentos infantiles, textos escolares, algunos libros en portugués,en inglés y una recopilación de folletos y fanzines.
Seguimos trabajando sin descanso para mejorar el espacio, fomentando las actividades artísticas, basándonos en el apoyo mutuo y el juego cooperativo. Continuamos realizando la huerta orgánica, también basada en los mismos principios y en el respeto a la tierra que nos alimenta.
Nos proponemos afianzarnos cada vez más y comenzar en el mes de nuestro aniversario con una serie de actividades donde haremos una muestra de los talleres, videos y reportajes hechos en el lugar, exposición de escritos y fotos del centro social.
Como siempre, esperamos que nuestro grito de lucha llegue a muchos corazones, que retumbe en los oídos receptivos y se haga viva voz, y que con la fuerza en conjunto se traspasen los muros y divisiones que nos imponen desde el poder. ¡Que en todas partes se vea que en este humilde barrio de Laferrere también se lucha para acabar con las injusticias sociales!
Salud, amor y libertad por siempre!!!

Basics of reduced functionality:
Infinite zooming windows fill all available bandwidth. I used to browse 5 peoples' favorites all at once - i always open the favorites of anyone who favorites any of my photos. If you do that now, each window takes up 10X more bandwidth, because they are a bunch of hi-res pics instead of thumbnails.
Previously i could click the next 2 pages of someone's favorites (next 6 if it's page 1), and have it preloaded in another tab. Basically, I had an unending, uninterrupted stream of images to my eyes. Which is THE POINT of a photo site.
If something was interesting, I would click on it.
Now? Nope, no preview. You have to load the full size of everything. And if you want to preload the next page, you have to go to the bottom of the page to click that. Except you can't, because ajax requests will fill the page up with new full-size-bandwidth-sucking images.
Nevermind that when you finally get to the bottom of page 1, it always says you are on page 2.
The net result is - by the time i cycle through to a tab, maybe 5 or 10 more images have loaded.
More intensive means harder. Doesn't matter if someone is 56kbps or 100Mbps. Using more bandwidth than you want to use is always a bad thing. My bandwidth is often tight due to use patterns here.
-*-
That's just one of many examples.
How about the crowded page? If I'm in another application, and click back to chrome (because I left a favorites page in mid-load, becuase it takes forever), I need to scroll. Previously I could click on the whitespace to change my focus. Now I need to be extra careful and only click on the scrollbar, or on the TINY TINy whitespace between pictures. Smaller click targets are harder by definition.
And the penalty for missing? You have to re-load the HUGE UNENDING PAGE again. And if you were near the bottom? It might take 5 minutes to load the pictures to get back to where you were. Back button is no longer sufficient like in the past.
Same thing if you accidentally close a tab. You can re-open it ("undo tab close") ... But your connection will be servered, and you generally won't be able to scroll down any further. So if you want to pick up where you've left off, you have to reload all the huge, full-size, neverending pictures up to the point where you were. Which will always, always take more time and bandwidth than with the old flickr.
-*-
I have meaningful titles and captions written for all my photos. When you went to my page, you would see them. That was part of what I was building every day for 8 years.
Now? You don't see them. The curative info I worked hard to create is now buried past a click.
Same thing with privacy settings. Previously you could see which pictures were public/private by the color next to it. But they removed those summaries. If I want to go change the status, I first have to get to the picture on the neverending hi-res large-bandwidth page (which itself can be a problem if it's 300 down), and click into it... Just to find out something I could find out before.
-*-
Same thing with views. I would look at my first few pages and see the view counts. Now I can't do that. Unless I click into every damn image.
Do I need to explain the concept that having more user interactions to get to user information is a bad thing? I'm a web developer myself, and even with my 10 years experience, I know better.
-*-
Same thing with when a photo was uploaded. When going through someone's photostream, I often only want to go back to see their most recent (say, 2 months) images. So I would browse back until I saw a date of 2 months ago. Except now that date is buried. There's no way to know. Yay for hiding photo information from a photo view on a photo viewing website!
-*-
They took away browser zoom when viewing individual photos. Previously I would use browser zoom to zoom into the picture. Sometimes I want it 50% larger than my screen to look at a detail. This applies to preview resolution AND full resolution.
Now they override that, removing a basic browser functionality, and making it harder to control the size of the image I'm viewing. On an image viewing website. Genius.
Ironically, they still allow browser zoom during the neverending-highres vomit view... And that's the one place you DON'T want it, because you're suddenly resizing 400 images at once, throwing yourself onto a totally different part of the page. THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF HOW IT SHOULD BE ON BOTH COUNTS!
-*-
Now I'm going to grab some popcorn a wait for the inevitable No True Scotsman and Ad Hominem responses.
