The trail above Jack Spring follows the access road used to maintain Flagstaff city water supply facilities.
The Inner Basin Trail ascends from Lockett Meadow into the caldera of the San Francisco Peaks, an extinct volcano and home of the tallest peaks in Arizona. The first 1.7 miles of the trail winds through the extensive aspen forest flanking the upper reaches of the Peaks, joining the Waterline Trail briefly before following a jeep road into the caldera. The trail starts at an elevation of 8665 feet, gaining approximately 1200 feet over 2 miles on its way into the Inner Basin. The trail continues another 2 miles, gaining an additional 600 feet or so to join up with the Weatherford Trail.

My Inner Self
Gauri Sharma

Acrylic Paint- 40x50 cm
My painting represents my two selves. The portrait of me represents my physical being, the person everyone else sees and knows. The clouds in my chest form a lion in the middle,
which is my spirit animal. This represents my real self, that only I know. The part that holds all my emotions and beliefs, all my life experiences collectively making me who I am. The lion is not very noticeable until you really look deep into the clouds, which represents the part of me that nobody else knows. Frida Kahlo was a big influence in my work. After we saw her painting “The Two Fridas” in class, it inspired me to connect the two parts of me in a close relationship, and representing two literal selves. In my case the first self was my body and personality with others, and the second self being my so called spirit or soul. When I was painting, I liked the idea of incorporating different layers into my artwork, like the sense of place project we did earlier. At first I was only going to do two layers, but I added more things to the original plans I went. With my choses medium (Acrylic paint) I likes to use different materials to obtain different textures. For example. I used a sponge for the glow around me, and I used paper towel to dab colours into the sunset. This was a risk I took as I never learned these techniques and came up with them as I worked through the painting. I decided to have two different scenes in the background for the first layer, my portrait for the second layer and the clouds for the third and last layer. This piece has turned out to be an accurate representation of who I am and I feel the painting tells a lot about me.

Early morning hike on Inner Basin Trail, San Francisco Peaks.
2009-05-30: Saturday evening, we were sitting on the front porch after our evening walk, enjoying a cup of chai and watching the sun set. There had been rain during the late afternoon, and heavy clouds had descended over the Peaks, hiding the mountain from view. The clouds had lifted in time for our evening ritual, and we noticed there was new snow on the upper tips of the Peaks. As we sipped our tea, we joked “If we were really motivated, we’d get up early, hit the Inner Basin Trail at dawn, and get some good photos before the snow melts off…”
2009-05-31: …so, at 4:00AM we stumbled out of bed, grabbed some coffee, got dressed, grabbed more coffee and rolled out the door around 4:30AM. We drove up the mountain, and hit the trail around 5:15AM. There was a bit of a breeze making the hike rather chilly. Everything was wet and green, and the aspens created a delectable aroma. Past Jack Spring (1.5 miles from the trailhead) we hit the frost line, and the vegetation sparkled (and the air was noticeably chillier). We arrived at the Inner Basin (the point where there’s a shelter and pumphouse, and all the Peaks are visible) around 6:45AM. We’d expected some shade still at that hour, and were delighted to discover the sun was shining right up through the low point in the Peaks (the north-eastern side, where the wall was blown out during an eruption), lighting up the entire Inner Basin for us. We wandered around a bit capturing various shots, then headed back to attend to our day’s activities.
It's basically raining new figures here (something only 2020 could make happen), so without further ado, here's the second one, the Figure Complex Wonder Woman figure.
The Figure Complex series is part of the Kaiyodo Revoltech series. Since it's inception a few years ago (2017 I think), several DC and Marvel heroes have been featured. The intent of the line is to have stylized figures that look mindblowing when posed dynamically.. and if it looks nice when standing up straight, its a bonus.
Of the three females released thus far, I have two of them - Psylocke and Wonder Woman. I liked the Psylocke well enough, with the exception of her overall facial paint work, which due to the pale skin made her look like a blowup doll and some serious thigh gap issues.
So how did Diana fare?
Wonder Woman is based on the comic art design shown on the inner liner of the box. She comes with what I'd expect a Wonder Woman figure to come with. You get the figure, three total face plates (smiling, neutral, shouting), uncoiled Lasso of Truth, bullet deflect effects for each arm, energy blast blocking effect for each arm, her cape, an extra neck piece for use with the cape, her shield, her sword. six additional hands for weapon holding and posing, and a stand. Retail price on this was 8,250 Yen as compared to Psylocke at 6,458 Yen back in 2018.
Of the three portraits, the neutral one was my favourite. The other two had their share of strengths and issues.
Compared to the proto photographs, the final product seemed to be intact, with the only real change I could tell was that the various metallic paints were not as reflective.
A quick comparison between Psylocke and Wonder Woman shows that Kaiyodo addressed the issue of the thigh gaps, which were horrible on Psylocke. Wonder Woman is also a bit larger and much more complex looking than Psylocke, which partially explains the price jump.
On a side note, the hair, which was great on Psylocke, is equally well done on Wonder Woman.
Details on her outfit seem a bit soft to my eyes. I'm not sure if that's an issue with the plastic, or the actual sculpt, but I've seen finer details and more prominent line work on the various Gal Gadot Wonder Woman figures in my collection.
From a static posing perspective, the only real sore points would be the shoulders and the neck. It all ties back to the articulation for this figure.
The long neck, when the head is seated properly, isn't really an issue, and becomes even less of an issue when she's wearing her cape. The reason she has such a long neck is because there is a joint at the base of her head that allows the figure to almost fully tilt the head straight up, very useful when you're posing a flying character or any pose where the head goes first.
The shoulders can be an eyesore. Effectively her shoulders can be dislocated from her body to reveal the double ended Revolver joint beneath. The trade off, however, is that you have incredible range of motion, with this figure probably having the easiest time pulling off Wonder Woman's trademark Bracer pose.
Other points of articulation on the body include toe, ankles, double jointed knees, thigh twist, hips, waist, mid torso, double jointed shoulders, single jointed elbows, wrist, neck head, and hair.
One additional feature that you don't see very often on figures of this size are that the eyeballs can be pointed in whatever direction you want, further completing any dynamic poses you're working on.
Paint work has never really been the strongest point of these figures. Having said that, the quality of the work on Wonder Woman is definitely better than on Psylocke. Base paints are smooth. Despite having more masking required, the overall figure appears to be crisper looking than Psylocke, though not as crisp as on other Japanese figures.
To me, it appears the paint app on the lips of the neutral and smiling sculpts are sharper than on Psylocke, which combined with an actual complexion results in a superior effect, though her skin remains plain plastic only.. The shouting face... well lets say open mouths often result in mixed results, and this is no exception.
Build quality is something that has not been an issue ever since these Figure Complex releases became the Revoltechs I handle. No issues with limb sizes, weak joints, or my biggest nuisance, getting the damn limbs to line up because the "clicks" of the Revolver joints were out sync. Everything flows smoothly, and QC is not an issue with regards to things falling apart, or not coming together as it should.
Finish on the plastic pretty good.. you'll find the odd rough spot here and there (most notable on the edges of things) and some visible seamlines.
That pretty much sums up the experience. Not being a movie figure, it doesn't have to live up to looking like Gal Gadot. Does it look like the comic art? For the most part yes, just not the sculpt, but these sort of things happen all the time when dealing with comic art.
Does she have the bells and whistles? Yes, yes she does. I particularly enjoy the Lasso of Truth being a vibrant yellow rope.
Can you live with the joints and proportions? That's ultimately what you have to ask yourself. For me, there are many other decent looking Wonder Woman figures that can hold some pretty good posing, but I always want that ONE figure, aesthetics be damned, that can pull off crazy poses.
And that figure of Wonder Woman, without a doubt, is this one.
So if you're pose crazy, I'd suggest you give this one a try. At the very least, you'll have a figure where you can make Wonder Woman do the Ahegao face.
The dub counterpart to the "Killer Miller" album. The cover does all the explaining. Music is great, late 70's style dubwise from the Inner Circle band.
Inner city life, inner city pressure
Inner city life, inner city pressure taking over me
But I won't let go, I won't let go
Inner city life, life, life, life...

I discovered that sticking the skull on TOP of the flashlight yields epic pics. And all this at 3 in the morning. This was also when I decided to get my ears pierced. I got it done the next day. :D
Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, has more than one hundred kilometers of grachten (canals), about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Jordaan, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "Venice of the North".
Much of the Amsterdam canal system is the successful outcome of city planning. In the early part of the 17th century, with immigration rising, a comprehensive plan was put together, calling for four main, concentric half-circles of canals with their ends resting on the IJ Bay. Known as the "grachtengordel",three of the canals are mostly for residential development (Herengracht or ‘’Patricians' Canal’’; Keizersgracht or ‘’Emperor's Canal’’; and Prinsengracht or ‘’Prince's Canal’’), and a fourth, outer canal, the Singelgracht, for purposes of defense and water management. The plan also envisaged interconnecting canals along radii; a set of parallel canals in the Jordaan quarter (primarily for the transportation of goods, for example, beer); the conversion of an existing, inner perimeter canal (Singel) from a defensive purpose to residential and commercial development; and more than one hundred bridges. The defensive purpose of the Nassau/Stadhouderskade was served by moat and earthen dikes, with gates at transit points but otherwise no masonry superstructures.
Construction proceeded from west to east, across the breadth of the layout, like a gigantic windshield wiper as the historian Geert Mak calls it – not from the center outwards as a popular myth has it. Construction of the north-western sector was started in 1613 and was finished around 1625. After 1664, building in the southern sector was started, although slowly because of an economic depression. The eastern part of the concentric canal plan, covering the area between the Amstel river and the IJ Bay, was not implemented for a long time. In the following centuries, the land went mostly for park, the Botanical garden, old age homes, theaters and other public facilities – and for waterways without much plan. Several parts of the city and of the urban area are polders, recognizable by their postfix -meer meaning 'lake', such as Aalsmeer, Bijlmermeer, Haarlemmermeer, and Watergraafsmeer. The canals in Amsterdam are now used as a main form of transportation around the city.

The Inner Harbor is actually the end of the Northwest Branch of the Patapsco River and includes any water west of a line drawn between the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the Rusty Scupper restaurant.
While Baltimore has been a major U.S. seaport since the 1700s, the historically shallow water of the Inner Harbor was not conducive to large ships or heavy industry, most of which was concentrated in Locust Point, Fell's Point, and Canton. The Inner Harbor was chiefly a light freight commercial port and passenger port until the 1950s, when economic shifts ended both the freight and passenger use. Rotting warehouses and piers were eventually torn down and replaced by open, grass-covered parkland that was used for recreational purposes and occasional large events, such as city fairs and the significant 1976 bicentennial visit of tall ships. This initial renewal of the harbor area and its continued transformation into a major cultural and economic area of the city was spearheaded by Baltimore Mayor William Donald Schaefer. Harborplace, the waterfront festival marketplace, officially opened on July 1, 1980. Since being reincarnated as a cultural hub, the Inner Harbor has become the home to many tourist attractions. The two anchor attractions, in addition to Harborplace, are the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the Maryland Science Center.

"Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want and do." - Emmanuel Swedenborg
I know...I know....NOT ANOTHER EFFIN FLOWER !... I've yet to pick up my camera and go out shooting because I'm still recovering and although you could probably care less I thought I'd share regardless... 8~)
My landlady has done some wonderful plantings over time and I can't help nipping out to pick a few select flowers. I loved how these narcissus looked backlit from the big arched window,.Please try it on black.
First posting of a series of night time shots in Guildford from the weekend.
A group of us went out, split up and regrouped over the course of the evening to show what we had/hadn't found. Once again it was impressive (and inspiring) to see how other people view and capture the world on camera.
