Strobist Info: 580 EXII with 1/4th +0.7 in front of camera into the ceiling. 420 EZ attached to my arm in each shot and flashed against the background with 1/4 th to whiten it out. Was inspired to do a square composite by brookeshaden, who wrote a very cool article on how she uses square as the perfect format and how she manages to increase picture size by cropping...
This one here has nearly 30 MP as well.
And yes if you ask yourself who won that fight: Me!
Turns out this is my 100th shot that ended up in Explore at some point:

Introduction
I
My heart’s deeply attached to You. But I feel unworthy of Your love.
Too humble to be in the presence of You, how worried and uneasy I am!
I can only make up my mind; offer my whole being to You.
I will suffer for You, suffer all hardships, till the last breath of my life.
God! You know that I am waiting, waiting for You to come back.
God, please don’t forget about me. I can’t live without You!
II
I know I don’t deserve to see You, but I’ll never lose my hope.
I am full of faith. I never lose my faith, loving You in my heart.
I will do anything for You. I won’t care too much for my life.
I have strong faith; I believe You’ll come back. I believe You will come back.
Dear God! Please wait for me, wait for me to give You my love.
I believe that You are loving me. I can’t live without You!
III
Though I have weakness in flesh. Pains and sorrows always with me.
God, please trust me, please put trust in me that I’ve never forgotten about You.
I hate my flesh so much. I loathe Satan even more.
How I wish I could get free from sin! How I wish to be free from sin!
If I can’t satisfy Your will, I won’t have peace after death.
Only when I see, when I see Your smile, will I feel a bit comforted.
IV
I am with determination, and I am with strong will.
I won’t be passive; I am loving You, loving You with my true heart.
Ignoring those many hardships, thinking no more of blocks ahead,
I will keep going, I will try my best, try my best to satisfy You.
When can I live out Your image, pure and lively, a whole new one?
Holy spiritual body giving to You, I will never ever leave You!
Holy spiritual body giving to You, I will never ever leave You!

Khumbu shares his enclosure with Sammara who if she was a domestic cat I would say she would be a torti, full of attitude. Khumbu is laid back and lets her get her way most days but this isn't the first time I have seen him give her the snarl look as she walked by.
My co-worker is really hilarious. He makes the funniest signs. I will miss sharing an office with him next year. His bathroom sign was the best though.
Sauerbruch Hutton has harnessed the power of wind to develop a model of passive ventilation, creating one of the first high-rise office buildings to consume less than 100KWh/sq m energy per year.
The facade is entirely clad in a sawtooth skin of angled glazing, with each window separated by a slender, coloured panel, alternately fixed and pivoting. This forms the outer layer of a 700mm-deep double-skin facade, which operates as a “pressure ring”. Unlike a conventional double-skin system, the cavity is not ventilated by means of a stack effect, but instead by exploiting wind pressure and suction at the lee side of the tower.
During warmer months, the motorised flaps on the south-west and north-east elevations open to allow air to flow through the cavity, while during cooler times of year the flaps are closed, allowing air to be preheated before entering the offices.

You fucking disappoint me.
“Dead as dead can be,” my doctor tells me
But I just can’t believe him, ever the optimistic one
I’m sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way
Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become…my perfect enemy…
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I’ll walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
You’re better of this…you’re better off this…
Maybe you’re better off!
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I’ll walk away and say, “You fucking disappoint me!”
Maybe you’re better off this way
Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
Why can't you turn and face me?
You fucking disappoint me!
An acoustic mirror is a passive device used to reflect and focus (concentrate) sound waves. Parabolic acoustic mirrors are widely used in parabolic microphones to pick up sound from great distances, employed in surveillance and reporting of outdoor sporting events. Pairs of large parabolic acoustic mirrors which function as "whisper galleries" are displayed in science museums to demonstrate sound focusing.
Between the World Wars, before the invention of radar, parabolic sound mirrors were used experimentally as early-warning devices by military air defence forces to detect incoming enemy aircraft by listening for the sound of their engines.
During World War II on the coast of southern England, a network of large concrete acoustic mirrors was in the process of being built when the project was cancelled owing to the development of the Chain Home radar system. Some of these mirrors are still standing today.
There are three acoustic mirrors in the complex, each consisting of a single concrete hemispherical reflector.
The 200 foot mirror is a near vertical, curved wall, 200 feet (60m) long. It is one of only two similar acoustic mirrors in the world, the other being in Magħtab, Malta.
200 ft Acoustic mirror at Denge
The 30 foot mirror is a circular dish, similar to a deeply curved satellite dish, 9 m (30 ft) across, supported on concrete buttresses. This mirror still retains the metal microphone pole at its centre.
The 20 foot mirror is similar to the 30 foot mirror, with a smaller, shallower dish 6 m (20 ft) across. The design is close to that of an acoustic mirror in Kilnsea, East Riding of Yorkshire.
Acoustic mirrors did work and could effectively be used to detect slow moving enemy aircraft before they came into sight. They worked by concentrating sound waves towards a central point, where a microphone would have been located. However, their use was limited as aircraft became faster. Operators also found it difficult to distinguish between aircraft and seagoing vessels. In any case, they quickly became obsolete due to the invention of radar in 1932. The experiment was abandoned, and the mirrors left to decay. The gravel extraction works caused some undermining of at least one of the structures.
The mirrors with the swing bridge visible in the foreground
The striking forms of the sound mirrors have attracted artists and photographers. British artist Tacita Dean created a film inspired by the complex. The band Turin Brakes featured the mirrors on some of their album covers. The object appeared in the music video for Blank & Jones' "A Forest".The mirrors have also been featured in the music videos for Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy & Young Kato - Something Real.

È come avere un gran fuoco nella propria anima e nessuno viene mai a scaldarvisi, e i passanti non scorgono che un po' di fumo, in alto, fuori del camino e poi se ne vanno per la loro strada.
