El Fontán es hoy en día una plaza de forma rectangular que está situada en el casco antiguo de Oviedo. Su nombre proviene de la fuente manantial ó fontán que llenaba la primitiva laguna que se encontraba en esa zona. En los inicios de la ciudad de Oviedo se trataba de una laguna natural a las afueras de la ciudad, la cual era abastecida por manantiales natrurales que brotaban en la zona y rápidamente se convirtió en zona de recreo de los nobles ovetenses. Durante este tiempo los campesinos que vivína en las afueras de la ciudad, se acercaban hasta este lugar a vender sus productos (leche, verduras, quesos, gallinas, etc.), con este incesante movimiento no tardaron en aparecer los artesanos tales como herreros, cesteros, etc. y así poco a poco se fue formando un mercado que perdurará hasta nuestros días y convirtiéndose por aquel entonces en el primer núclo comercial a extramuros de Oviedo. Tras esta primera etapa este mercado que se formaba de manera espontánea acabó siendo regulado por el ayuntamiento, el cual controloba la calidad y la entrada de productos a cambio de impuestos. Debido a que la laguna empezaba a representar un problema sanitario por su insalubridad se decidió desecarla. En la primera mitad del siglo XVII se decide la construcción de una obra de carácter público que se convertiría en un corral de comedias; tras sucesivas reformas y ampliaciones, que intentaron adecuar su inflexible estructura de patio de comedias, fue relevado por el teatro Campoamor. El 11 de junio de 1792 el ayuntamiento acomete una de las reformas más importantes hasta aquel entonces, esta reforma, dirigida por el arquitecto municipal asturiano Francisco Pruneda y Cañal, el cual diseña la plaza como un lugar rectangular, abierto por cuatro entradas y con cuarenta casillas o departamentos para tiendas, de planta y piso, recorridas en su perímetro interior y externo por un pórtico de columnas. La obra concluyó sin que se siguiera el proyecto inicial lo que produjo la existencia de varias alturas en la plaza. Los almacenes de las tiendas se fueron convirtiendo en viviendas de inquilinos y varios edificios se modificaron durante el siglo XIX aunque con ello no llega a perder el espíritu con el que fue concebida inicialmente. Ya a finales del siglo XX, en 1981 la dirección General del Patrimonio Artístico realiza una restauración de la plaza, si bien esta restauración no frena el deterioro en el que se ve inmersa la plaza y que culmina en 1996 con la controvertida decisión del derribo y demolición total de la plaza, execepto la esquina en dónde se asienta la sidrería Casa Ramón que había sido restaurada por el propietario. Tras este derribo la plaza se vuelve a construir y el 7 de mayo de 1997 es inaugurada por el alcalde Sr. D. Gabino de Lorenzo Ferrera. Hoy en día los jueves, sábados y domingos sigue habiendo mercado en las calles exteriores al fontán y en la plaza Daoíz y Velarde colindante con el fontán. También existe una plaza de abastos cubierta que abre todos los días de la semana excepto el domingo y en la cual se venden pescado, carne, queso y todo tipo de productos típicos asturianos

History:
Third synthetic life form and carrier of the Reality Engine. Like her three siblings, Paragon was built by the Predecessors to find and retrieve the Fountain of Life from its inter-dimensional hiding place. Unlike her siblings, though, Paragon was successful in contacting the artifact. Not much is known about what happened when Paragon contacted the fountain, but when she returned from her journey she turned on her creators. With newfound knowledge of the origins and inner workings of the universe, Paragon acted as an angel of protection for her home planet, using her Reality Engine to defend it from natural disasters and malevolent forces.
Personality:
Paragon is a confident and brave individual. She sees it as her duty to defend her home planet, and she appreciates every chance she gets to learn more about the people who inhabit it. While she isn't the best at interacting with people, she lets her actions show her care for others.
Abilities:
Paragon carries the Reality Engine, a dimensional generator. The engine allows Paragon to create a region in which she has god-like control over reality. When using her engine in an affected region, Paragon can move objects with her mind, manipulate gravity, control air pressure and temperature, and more. Overuse of her engine will tire Paragon, forcing her to rest between uses. Paragon carries A broadsword, a buckler, and four remotely controlled wing blades. When her Reality Engine is active, Paragon can combine her tools to form Enki, the Reality Blade. Paragon can move this giant sword at will only in regions affected by her engine, but even with such a limitation, the sword's raw destructive power cannot be denied.
Build notes:
Well, it only took 4 years to build her. I've been wanting to do this concept since I first built Avalon. While the build isn't too innovative (I reused a lot of Svella's design) it does refine several of the concepts used in Svella. Oh yeah, and the mask is painted! This my first attempt at a painted mask, so it is a tad messy, but I'm happy with it!
BAck Story: The Solia Federation was formed in last Flux Galaxy League, a break away group intent on finding the Jacuus Station which disappeared with 3500 human earthlings. The Jacuus Station was home for many humans and it was the last of its kind since humans had left the Milky Way in 2305.
I'm Cameron Reed-Moos, and in our quest to find our brothers & sisters, we had installed the best Ship builders to aid our mission, we partnered with the KresKon, a cyborg nation that has lived in peace on Hylo, this planet was given to them by the Flux during the Dazla period. The Flux now rule over 3 galaxies and are not so pro human, I suppose our history is some what patchy when you mention conflict. anyway, back to the story… we needed help and we knew we could count on the KresKon's to fulfil our request. We signed a deal that would ensure that any findings outside the FLux's control we could split. So part of our mission is to pay back the KresKon with some sort of resources besides Magnamuim.A number of humans also live here and will crew with me once near departure.
The KresKon's really delivered a wonderful project after a 11 year wait, must be the half human DNA ringing in? Who knows, all I know is The Solia Federation has its first real Ship called the "Ataraxia 11". It has everything we need to stay safe, be comfortable and able to take stock of our fleets and our docking station pods are the best out there. I remember the first time I laid eyes on her, we had never imagined its shear size. Our 3 months training went so fast and soon we would make our maiden voyage into the unknown, starting with the Crest of Ysis.This Super Hole requires a 3 week flight in a storm of Star Stones, its like hail I'm told but in space. I remember my great grand father telling me stories of his limited time on earth, and they had hail there all the time. I don't think we could ever return to that galaxy. We have many unknown factors which this Ship will experience anyway, The FLux has banned any parties going anywhere near it. I just want to find my own, my own people.
The Solia Federation is the last hope for our kind, and the Ataraxia 11 will be our only chance of ever finding the Jaccus Station. We cannot return back to Hylo empty handed either. If anybody is reading this? I do hope you put the Ataraxia 11 on your radar-flash, its our symbol of hope. We will remain calm and believe. Long Live the people of Solia.
Yours Universally.Cameron Reed-Moos
Inspiration for the name was partly cause it contained an 'X' and also it has a good meaning, plus it doubled as my midnight runner song by Team Sleep - Ataraxia. So thats the name done and dusted ,next was to get a sweet logo that would tie in my backstory (gotta tick all the boxes, right?).
The brief to myself was to try capture those amazing concept art renders we see now and then. So I decided to this project up a few notches by actually texturing the different surfaces and angles, make it edgy, digital, zero gravity madness, all the sci-fi stuff we all love. filled with intrigue and fascination at every glance If anybody seen my stream you'd remember my carbon project for the Batmobile of the future, well I did it again, no full wrap but it did take 4 days of sticking and around 438 stickers applied to achieve the final result. 3 different colour grades and plenty of angles of which I have around 1200!Enjoy, and big up's to you all for this insane month we all know as SHIPTEMBER!

This image shows Glasgow's weather in characteristic form to complete my west coast photo essay. As with the first of these images ( flic.kr/p/2qBbvJc ), this shot captures the essence of this station for me: in Glasgow’s case, busy, populated with exotic trains (from the perspective of a Sassenach), and raining!
The date is Wednesday, 28th March 1984 and an APT set waits to head south on what is likely to be the 0900 relief to Euston. The crowd of gentlemen striding towards the ticket barriers, many of who are lacking in appropriate outdoor attire, are presumably not railway enthusiasts given their lack of interest in the future of travel nor the distinctly Scottish class 27 to the left of the frame.
Unlike London Euston, Glasgow Central still has the grandeur and heritage of the Victorian era. While Euston’s period pieces were swept away in the white heat of 1960s progress, Glasgow Central has been sympathetically restored and, despite the rain, feels like a hospitable station appropriate for a great city.
Glasgow Central was not the original station for the west coast route in the city. The Caledonian Railway originally used the Townhead terminus, 1.5 miles to the northeast, then in November 1849, the new station of Buchanan Street was used. Growth led to the opening of Glasgow Central in 1879, immediately north of the river Clyde that the railway follows for the last 45 miles of its journey from London.
I trust that those that have followed my photo essay have enjoyed the ride. The west coast route is so varied and so long that it has been very easy to find disparate images from my collection. Selecting images for this essay has been challenging: I have been shooting trains on the route since the 1980s, and in the 21st century I still manage perhaps 30-40 images of the line every year. Furthermore, since I started collecting other photographer's images, it seems that the line was popular for others too!

In the shadows mid distance is Lindores Abbey regarded as the spiritual home of Scotch whisky and is thus a very important place... Blending in with the old structures, a new distillery on the site no doubt aims to capitalise on matters.
Beyond the distillery is the River Tay with beyond that the flatlands of the Cask, sorry, Carse of Gowrie.
Thats enough whisky puns for one caption.

Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
In this photograph, I wanted to capture the very essence of architectural movement. The tight framing on these black and white curves transforms the architecture into a pure abstract composition. I deliberately chose to eliminate any context to preserve only this undulating rhythm that evokes a perpetual flow. The black and white treatment amplifies the power of contrasts and emphasizes the sculptural dimension of these lines that seem to float in space. My intention was to reveal how architecture can transcend its function to become a graphic artwork where geometry and light combine in a silent dance.

Like a tulip rainbow
Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated (see map). In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate climates. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. Wikipedia

Cervera de Pisuerga (Palencia)
Forma parte del importante conjunto rupestre existente en la Montaña Palentina y en el sur de Cantabria, que tuvo su mayor apogeo en los primeros siglos de la Edad Media. Se encuentra en el camino que conduce a la localidad de Vado, cerca de la confluencia de los ríos Pisuerga y Ribera, en un lugar que invita al paseo y recibe el nombre de Vallejera.
Presenta una gran sala rectangular con varias entradas y toscos vanos, a la que se suma una capilla excavada al este, diferenciada del resto por un escalón, que pudo haber estado cerrada mediante un ábside de mampostería. La ermita está rodeada de una necrópolis, fechada entre los siglos VIII y IX, que cuenta con una veintena de tumbas excavadas en la roca, de tipo antropomorfo, de las que pueden verse actualmente una decena.
La ermita y la necrópolis pudieron formar parte de un pequeño complejo monástico que contaría con otros edificios ya inexistentes. Desaparecida esta comunidad monacal, San Vicente pervivió como ermita hasta mediados del siglo XIX, cuando fue abandonada definitivamente.

Akaora June 10, 2016 Banks Peninsula, New Zealand.
An easy drive south-east of Christchurch, Banks Peninsula is the South Island's most interesting volcanic feature. Originally an island formed by two volcanic cones, the peninsula has two dominant craters which form Lyttelton and Akaroa Harbours. The peninsula was named for botanist Joseph Banks, who sailed with Captain James Cook on the Endeavour.
Located on the south east side of the deep, sheltered Akaroa Harbour, the charming township of Akaroa has a special point of difference - it was the only French settlement in New Zealand.

la Forma della Distanza è varia
ci sono Distanze che si riempiono invecchiando,
diventa allora una consolazione l'idea del tempo che passa
ci sono Distanze che si colmano spostandosi,
trovando uno spazio comune che ci includa
questa foto per raccontare lo spazio incolmabile,
la distanza che non torna indietro,
che non si erode
lo spazio che ci descrive come differenti... per sempre
Sand of Plum Island contains deep purple and dark grey patches. It is due to high abundance of almandine-pyrope garnet, pyroxene augite, and magnetic minerals such as ilmenite and hematite. Epidote adds some greenish hue.
I saw this structure off the Canadian shore of Lake Erie and I was inspired to make a Kenna-esque image.

This old vase/planter has been laying out in the yard for about 5 yrs now....it had a pecan tree in it that was brought from the old house, but by the time I got around to transplanting it, the roots had grown so much that I couldn't get it out of the vase without breaking it!!
The tree is now dead, and I'm waiting for it to decompose enough to free the vase!!!!

He actually came all the way back around on the same path as the echidna and looked like he would run into me. I moved a bit in my seat and he recoiled a bit before skirting out wider to avoid me. Phew!
This is one of the last shots as he passed close by me at point blank range and headed into the scrub.
