Brexit, Covid19, heatwave, drought, inflation - what next?
Its Britain so I expect strikes, floods and a general election.

A montage based on an art piece seen at the art exhibition "Mobile M+:Inflation" at The West Kowloon Cultural District. The montage consists of 3 main layers, the front view and the back side of the art piece, and the background texture from my own source.
My credit to Mr. Tam Wai Ping for his art creation called Falling Into The Mundane World. I love this title as much as this art creation, and reflect my affection through my edition of the title for this montage.

Prices rose 0.4 percent in September compared to the month before, despite policymakers’ work to bring down high inflation that has weighed on American families and businesses by slowing the economy with higher interest rates.
September prices rose at a pace of 8.2 percent compared to a year ago, according to data released Thursday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a slight slowdown from the summer peak but still well above normal levels.
Inflation remains the economy’s biggest problem, posing a challenge to Democrats in the White House and Congress going into the midterm elections next month. For more than a year, families have swallowed rising costs for groceries, gas, rent and nearly everything in between. Businesses are struggling to offset higher costs for transportation, find enough workers or get around persistent supply chain issues.
Whilst tidying I found an old Concert ticket - Inflation? Looking for my earlier tickets now. They must have been about £2!
Having cost $15 million to build, it opened in 1930, not a particularly choice time to be opening a business. It went bankrupt in 1932 and was bought by J. Paul Getty for $2.5 million. Now THAT'S a crash.
It's a lovely place.
*** Update Sept 2017 ***
A triplex penthouse apartment in The Pierre is reported to have sold for $44 million, approximately 18 times what Mr Getty paid for the whole thing in 1932. Now THAT's inflation. (Though the price is actually a discount - in the original 2009 offering that eventually resulted in this sale, the apartment was listed at $125 million.)
We visited the Knavesmire by York Racecourse, this morning, for the second York Balloon Festival. Last year's event was spoiled by rain and we didn't get to see a mass launch but this morning the weather was perfect! I've always wanted to shoot an event like this and we were lucky with the conditions, this morning.Returning for an afternoon launch, I was disappointed again when wind stopped play.

Now you take that paper dollar

I took my camera to my paragliding lesson yesterday to capture some of my fellow student. It has been a good, fun challenge, and I qualified to move on to high flights.

Love their outside waiting area. An old converted gas station.
We've been having a heatwave with over a hundred temperatures all week in Nor Cal. It will barely hit a hundred today so it won't be too bad. Hot and no wind outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning.

If you think these balloons look good you should see my jugs.
Sadly, there’s lot of inflation in the clown economy.
Did you mean this balloon knot?
All this hot air get a rise out of you?
I’ll be here all week.
In the early hours within the Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa, our hot air balloon is inflated in preparation for flight.
Design Herbert Bayer, 1923
This is part of my Notgeld (emergency currency) collection. Local governments and companies printed their own money to make front to the scarcity of coins and printed money first, and later in the high inflationary period, to make front to the ever changing value of things.
Herbert Bayer designed these notes, in stark contrast to most of the vast majority of Notgeld production of the time which were in a much more traditional style.

A little expensive for a meal for a child...unless they give you the child as a free gift with it..;)
"...Well, you can have all the eggs you want. [..] The egg prices are down 87 percent, but nobody talks about that. You can have all the eggs you want. We have too many eggs. In fact, if anything, the prices are getting too low...." – President Donald J. Trump, April 18, 2025
Tualatin Fred Meyer, April 3, 2024, 4:13 PM: On that day, a carton of Kroger cage free 18 ct eggs were selling for 25¢, a discount of 93.4 percent from the regular price of $3.79. No limit.
Happy Easter, folks!

A picture I shared today on social media for Throwback Thursday. I took this shot in December 1988 using my original Konica camera (still working), and a close-up lens filter. I'd have to dig out the negatives to verify, but I'm almost certain the photo was taken with the same roll of Tri-X.
I was in high school at the time, and worked part-time at a nearby CVS. The store offered send-out developing service, and I usually sent in a roll every week.
According to one website, the price of US $3.19 in 1988 is equivalent to $8.18 in 2023 dollars - still cheaper than a 24-exposure roll sells for today.
Manual inflation handle on my Spinlock personal flotation device (PFD aka life jacket). Under normal circumstances the pressure sensor will trigger inflation automatically so the manual handle is a backup.
Approximately 2"/50cm of the handle is shown.
