Long derelict shops in Colley Gate.
Subject to several campaigns by local residents after inaction by the owner "Shak", the block was due to be compulsory purchased in 2016.
Earlier this year it was announced that contracts have been exchanged between Dudley Council and developers for a regeneration project on the site.
Here's an homage designed in LEGO to the rocket firing vintage Kenner action figure prototypes of Boba Fett.

A bitterly cold day to the south of Soldier Summit, Utah, or Carbon as it says to the right. There's snow on the ground and I'm wrapped up in my Tehachapi jacket.
After a lengthy period of inaction, Union Pacific gives up two manifests, one with DC power and the other AC. The uphill chase was on.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.

“A modest garden and a country rectory contain for those who know how to look, and to wait, more instruction than a library… Yes, we are too busy, too encumbered, too much occupied, too active! We read too much! The one thing needful is to throw off all one's load of cares, of preoccupations, of pedantry, and to become again young, simple, child-like, living happily and gratefully in the present hour.
We must know how to put occupation aside, which does not mean that we must be idle. In an inaction which is meditative and attentive the wrinkles of the soul are smoothed away, and the soul itself spreads, unfolds, and springs afresh, and, like the trodden grass of the roadside or the bruised leaf of a plant, repairs its injuries, becomes new, spontaneous, true, and original.
Reverie, like the rain of night, restores color and force to thoughts which have been blanched and wearied by the heat of the day. Reverie is the Sunday of thought; and who knows which is the more important and fruitful for man, the laborious tension of the week, or the life-giving repose of the Sabbath?”
Henri-Frederic Amiel, Journal Intime, April 29, 1852
1 - A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2 - A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3 - A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Handbook of Robotics, 56th edition, 2058 A.D.

"nothing is more painful to the human mind, than, after the feelings have been worked up by a quick succession of events, the dead calmness of inaction and certainty which follows, and deprives the soul both of hope and fear."

the reign of new Emperor who succeeded to Alexander I started from armed insurrection of group of aristocrats which later was called "decabrists" (Decembrist revolt). Their loyal troops, after a long period of inaction and negotiation, were destroyed in Senate Square, where the statue of the victor is looking

Better large on black--seriously. No, really! I dare you.

I call this series of images, "The One That Slipped Away." I think we can all relate to the sentiment of losing something or someone due to our own inaction or otherwise flawed attempts. If you look closely, you can see the fish spiraling in the splash of water behind the juvenile bald eagle as it escaped the eagle's talons just after he/she attempted to snatch it from the lake. I could almost register the eagle's eyes reflecting this knowledge as it realized what had happened. Better luck next time! Taken at Goldwater Lake a couple weeks ago.

Mass Destruction
[Maxi Jazz]
My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
he sat on my bed told me some facts, son.
I have a duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
The skin under my chin is exploding again
I'm getting stress from some other children
I'm holding it in.
We taking sides like a politician
And if I get friction, we get to fighting
I defend my dad, he's the best of all men
And whatever he's doing, he's doing the right thing
It's frightening, but it makes me mad
Why do all these people seem to hate my dad
And if that aint enough now I got these spots
I go to sleep every night with my stomach in knots
And what's more, I can hear momma next door
Explore the radio for reports of war
And all we ever seem to do
Is hide the tears
Seem like daddy been gone for years
But he was right
Now I'm geared up for the fight
And he would be proud of me
If my daddy come home tonight
Listen me calmly
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruction
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
My story stops here, lets be clear
This scenario is happening everywhere
And you ain't going to nirvana or farvana
You're coming right back here to live out your karma
With even more drama than previously, seriously
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free
And we refuse to see
That people overseas suffer just like we
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed one the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight
There's only now, do it right.
Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight

This is serious. Because of my inaction, I have indirectly perpetuated racism. A racism I falsely assured myself was eliminated many years ago. I was lying to myself. Contributing to a violation of humanity. In the coming days, I hope to examine ways I can help contribute to reversing racism. It should never have taken George Floyd to tip us all, as humanity, into action. Yet it did. So let it not be lost. Ask yourselves, what can I do? And then do it.

Much is to be seen but little is actually happening in this scene at Worcester Shrub Hill. To the left 4680, a long time Worcester based loco, is gently sizzling behind a smart green Class 121 of 122 which will depart for Great Malvern. Standing on the centre road is Hymek D7035, the driver, still wearing his steam age 'grease top' hat, is aboard, it will work a Worcester to Paddington train. Behind the Hymek is a class 116 DMU.
In the distance a view of 85A Worcester Loco Depot can be had, at this time it is crammed with steam locomotives, visible on the platform are trainspotters, books in hand hoping for a 'cop', they are sitting on a couple of the sturdy luggage trolleys which provided the required seating for generations of train spotters even if the raised lip did cut of the blood supply to the legs. Lastly a lady with shopping bags strolls without concern across the tracks, probably to catch the Great Malvern train.
4680 was a Collett 57xx class pannier tank, it was built 30/06/1944 and withdrawn December 1965. The loco was cut at Cashmore's (Newport) 06/1966.
D7035 was a Beyer-Peacock Hymek, it entered traffic 04/06/1962, it was withdrawn 01/01/1972 and cut at Swindon Works.

This brave woman was one of several people arrested in Trafalgar Square for daring to peacefully resist the government's inaction on the climate and cost of living crisis. She had been participating in a "Just Stop Oil" demo, by sitting on the road, on the south side of the square and had been holding a placard declaring "We will not pay for greed."
Another activist explained his own interpretation of the placard - "We refuse to go hungry to feed your profits, we refuse to sacrifice our planet on the altar of greed."
This and other similar protests occur as a tiny corporate minority are profiteering from the surge in the oil price, inflicting misery on working families, and while also benefiting the government's backing for new oil fields.
The UK's mainstream TV network Sky News network reported in August 2022 that "the country has seen a huge spike in the number of people becoming billionaires." - Yes, that's right, a "huge spike" in the middle of the UK's longest decline in working families' living standards in 200 years.
news.sky.com/story/sunday-times-rich-list-2022-uk-has-a-r...
The UK government claims that it doesn't have enough funds to support the NHS, the disabled, the homeless or working families who can't afford to heat their homes. It also explains its inability to take any of the steps desperately needed to avert catastrophic climate change, due to the supposed cost.
All the while it allows UK oil companies to profit from the Ukraine War by setting the maximum possible market price thereby plunging ordinary families into poverty. It also continues to allow individuals and corporations to hide their wealth in tax havens, hands out billions by propping up, via the Bank of England's open market operations, the assets of wealthy bond holders and it still privileges multinationals with the lowest corporation tax, by a significant margin, in the G7, and also in the G20.
According to the Just Stop Oil website, just a few days prior to when this photo was taken, a spokesperson for the activist group set out their demands -
“Rishi Sunak is about to U-turn on attending COP27. We demand that he also U-turn on new oil and gas. This genocidal policy will kill millions of people, while failing to address the worst cost of living crisis this country has ever seen.
“It's time for a serious windfall tax on big oil, without the get-out-of-jail-free tax credits that will encourage more oil and gas that we cannot afford. Vulnerable people will be freezing to death in their homes this winter, unable to afford a can of soup, while his government refuses to tax the rich and the big energy companies that are profiting from our misery.
“We owe it to our young people to stop fossil fuels, we owe it to our workers to create a just transition to a zero-carbon economy, we owe it to our old people to enable them to live with dignity. We are not prepared to stand by and watch while everything we love is destroyed."

HAHAHAHAH, my assistant shot me this picture while I was taking a portrait to Alessia, in Milan. The pictures I was shooting are in my stream: "so Alessia" and "all black Alessia".
This is my "like a marine" approach to composition... ;-)
