From reckless corporate consolidation of the media industry, the Presidential persecution of whistle blowers to the targeting of independent wartime journalists by our military, our system has completely failed us. The continuous stream of sensationalism feeds our addiction to drama, hyperstimulating the senses with fear and novelty. The war drums beat to the tune of our racing hearts – which rage with fury over manipulated messages driven by those in power.
Personally, my advise would be to shut off the TVs – which drive us away from the essence of a meaningful existence. Ignore all mainstream messages – they are rooted in profit. Focus our thoughts and hearts to kindness, forgiveness and tolerance. The Fourth Estate will burn on its own.

One of the primary new techniques (for me) used in this build was the implementation of Lego nets (71155) for sculpting. By backing each net with smaller plates – set apart by 1 stud – and then using 1x1 round plate pips on the front side (sandwiching the net in between), I had a flexible scrim which I could then build off of. This allowed for the undulating forms in the explosion area.
The Saab began to bounce from 80 km/h upwards from one day to the other, so instead of balancing the steel wheels I decided to seize the moment to implement one of my wanted improvements: Three-spoke alloy wheels! It improves the appearance of the car massively in my opinion. I deliberately didn't want bigger wheels because I don't want to affect the ride comfort.
I went to the museum last weekend with some friends who were visiting. You know what struck me, more than any other detail? How interesting the supportive structures are. These bones are of course intriguing, but when I focused on the structures that hold them up… all the structures of display in the museum, in fact… I really saw the whole experience through new eyes.
Kanaka Creek Regional Park is a regional park of the Greater Vancouver Regional District, located in the city of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, flanking both sides of Kanaka Creek from its confluence with the Fraser River just east of Haney and extending approximately 11 km (7 mi) up the creek to just south of the community of Webster's Corners. The Maple Ridge Fairgrounds are just east of the lower regions of the park, beyond them is the community of Albion. Derby Reach Regional Park is just across the Fraser in Langley.
A variety of plants and animals can be located in all 3 areas of the park and it is a popular spot for both Black Bear and Salmon populations. Kanaka Creek Regional Park has a rich history- the first purchase of land for the park by the City of Maple Ridge occurred in the late 1970s, and the land is the traditional unceded territory of the Katzie, Kwantlen, Matsqui, Musqueam, Semiahmoo, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples. Recently, misuse of the land has negatively changed parts of the park. To fix this issue, Metro Vancouver Regional Parks implemented a 20 year management plan in 2004 with the assistance of the Katzie First Nation among other groups, and the University of Victoria (UVIC) completed a restoration project in areas of the park in 2022.
Recreation
Kanaka Creek is widely recognized for its natural beauty, as well as recreational appeal. According to a local newspaper, the Daily Hive, Kanaka is the 8th most popular park in metro Vancouver, with 610,500 visitors in 2022. The park features walking, hiking, and biking trails publicly available to anyone who wants to use them. Along these walks there is plenty of flora and fauna to view. The park also has a lake in which visitors can fish, or canoe. The park is wheelchair accessible, and equipped with parking and public washrooms.
The 400 ha. park has three main areas. The Riverfront area adjacent to the Fraser and BC Hwy 7 has picnic tables and a boat-launch, suitable for launching canoes and kayaks for navigating the slow-moving waters of Kanaka Creek up as far as the 240th Street bridge. The Riverfront Trail winds along this stretch of the creek and has a number of three-story wooden viewing towers. Above 240th Street the stream is shallower and full of snags and not suitable for boating. Above that a popular swimming hole with slickrock slides is at Cliff Falls. There are twin falls on Kanaka Creek, one on each of its upper fork. Much of the upper area of the park is heavily forested, though hiking along the creek beds is feasible and a number of wooden walkways through the forest and along the creek have been established in the area.

An abandoned villa in the Italian countryside with some nice details in the living areas upstairs and a lot of large barrels in the basement. Unsure on the history of this but seems to have been abandoned for many years.

Rover School is in session...
In Basic Rover Operations 101, one of the first skills we must master is the use of the Grabber. This clawed implement provides a handy way to interact with the environment without needing to leave the comfort of your plush upholstered pilot's chair or risk contamination from unknown flora or fauna.
Here some PinkTron Exchange Students pass the test with a demonstration of their Grabber prowess. (Don't worry, the Daisy Gazer student volunteer was unharmed in the demonstration.)

Modern mechanized hay production today is usually performed by a number of machines. While small operations use a tractor to pull various implements for mowing and raking, larger operations use specialized machines such as a mower or a swather, which are designed to cut the hay and arrange it into a windrow in one step. Balers are usually pulled by a tractor, with larger balers requiring more powerful tractors.
Excerpt from the plaque:
Yeongnyeongjeon
Yeongnyeongjeon (Hall of Eternal Peace) is an annex to the main hall, Jeongjeon. It was built in 1421 when Jeongjeon could no longer accommodate any more spirit tablets. The name Yeongnyeong means “may the ancestors and descendants of the royal family live long in peace.” The facilities and layout of Yeongnyeongjeon are similar to those of Jeongjeon, but the building is smaller and more intimate. Like Jeongjeon, it has a two-tiered elevated stone platform in front. The whole area is enclosed with walls, and three gates were built in the east, south, and west. Yeongnyeongjeon had six spirit chambers when it was first built but was eventually expanded to 16 spirit chambers as we see it today. Under the central raised section are four spirit chambers for ancestors of the preceding four generations of King Taejo, founder of the Joseon Dynasty. A storage room for ritual implements was built to the east, and Akgongcheong (Hall of Musicians) was built outside the southwest wall.

Summer is the perfect time to implement many ideas.
⠀ For example, macro photography of insects🐝.
Having found an unusual frame, your picture can be sold for good money. Where and how this can be done, I wrote in previous posts.
⠀
Wedding 💒. Have you never tried it? Get started. If you are going to develop as a photographer. Experience is always necessary.
⠀ Do you like to travel? Try taking portraits of people. We are all different and unusual, and the eyes are a whole story.
⠀
Also in the summer there are various festivals, a biker congress, beautiful sunrises.
⠀

The week got away from me so just remembered at 8 last night that I hadn't shot anything for this weeks theme. Rummaged through the kitchen until I came across this handy dandy little gem. A thingamajig to get your olives out of jars and cans.

Close up photograph of kitchen implements.
Indeed, I made more than one photograph in the kitchen this week. Will this be a new stylistic direction in my photography? Stay tuned and find out! Like yesterday’s photograph, this subject was on the kitchen counter. I needed something to test out a new camera with a macro lenses, no tiny bugs were handy, so here we are.
As I pondered these two kitchen photographs it stuck me that the patterns, especially with all of the soft blur in the images, reminded me of some close-up photograph s I have made of grasses and similar plants.

Due to the invasion of southern and eastern European nations by the Warsaw Pact, the EU has sent back their troops to Europe from America to prepare and strategize a retaliation. Due to this soldiers now have a much more common presence in the daily lives of civilians. All forces will be used to create an advantage, even the Leaning Tower of Pisa will be used as a watch tower in Italy. The preparations are almost complete.

Doing something very interesting with the leaning tower of pisa was harder than I thought if I wanted it to be pretty accurate, so this is more of a tone scene rather than a detailed one to be more accurate to the area.

SIgma 10-20 + Cokin filter : Gradual Neutral Grey ND8 (P121)
I took this shot in Oct 2023 while visiting NYC. It is a planthopper, an invasive sap-feeding insect from Asia. It has spread invasively to South Korea (2006), Japan (2009), and in 2014, the species was discovered in the eastern United States.
It is believed that L.delicatula entered these countries via egg masses that were laid on exported goods. Currently, these countries have implemented pest control efforts which have sought to limit population growth and spread, due to the threat this species poses to global agricultural industries.
Heres a shot of my latest find. An old rusty, crusty, planter/ fertilizer made by Moline. I just put the post fence up this evening, and will be planting flowers around it. I love old farm implements. One of the seed decanters is still somewhat in tact, so I put daisys in it.

This is a test of developing Kodak Vision color projection film as black and white negative. There's a lot of potential here, but it's acting weird. I think this film might want a more active developer.

We need to develop separation in our heads before we can implement it in real life. It makes us busy; we are differing ourselves from "the bad ones" and become "the good" while we all aspire the same basic goals. Walls ought to divide into "us" and "the others". And while we start to set one brick on the other, we might forget that it is harder to tear down a construction than merely allowing the ego a day off.
