prometheus stole fire from zeus and gave it to the mortals in their dark caves. the gift of divine fire unleashed a flood of inventiveness, productivity and, most of all, respect for the immortal gods in the rapidly developing mortals. thus, it also made humans more god-like and this zeus found intolerable.
for this act, zeus punished prometheus by shackling him high in the mountains. each day, prometheus would be tormented by an eagle as it tore at his immortal flesh and tried to devour his liver. each night, as the frost bit it’s way into his sleep, the torn flesh would mend so the eagle could begin anew at the first touch of dawn.
this act also prompted zeus to create pandora's box...but that's another story (and image)

Ashes of the Singularity is a real-time strategy video game developed by Oxide Games and Stardock Entertainment. The game was released for Microsoft Windows on March 31, 2016.
On November 10, 2016, Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation was released. It is a standalone expansion that adds to the base game with more units, maps, and structures, as well as several interface tweaks. The total player count was also increased from 8 to 16 players. The expansion was later merged into the base game on February 16, 2017 after it became apparent that the separate games divided the player community.[1]
Prometheus is a Post-Human Coalition capital ship capable of incredible bursts of damage against single targets in Ashes of the Singularity.
Prometheus cinema in Pripyat.

Named for the nearby Pripyat River, Pripyat was founded on 4 February 1970, the ninth nuclear city in the Soviet Union, for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. It was officially proclaimed a city in 1979, and had grown to a population of 49,360 before being evacuated a few days after the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster.
Though Pripyat is located within the administrative district of Ivankiv Raion, the abandoned city now has a special status within the larger Kiev Oblast (province), being administered directly from Kiev. Pripyat is also supervised by Ukraine's Ministry of Emergencies, which manages activities for the entire Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
Access to Pripyat, unlike cities of military importance, was not restricted before the disaster as nuclear power stations were seen by the Soviet Union as safer than other types of power plants. Nuclear power stations were presented as being an achievement of Soviet engineering, where nuclear power was harnessed for peaceful projects. The slogan "peaceful atom" (Russian: mirnyj atom) was popular during those times. The original plan had been to build the plant only 25 km (16 mi) from Kiev, but the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, among other bodies, expressed concern about it being too close to the city. As a result, the power station and Pripyat were built at their current locations, about 100 km (62 mi) from Kiev. After the disaster the city of Pripyat was evacuated in two days.

There are a few less-than-pretty scenes.

This is a picture of Mount Prometheus at Disney Sea in Tokyo. It was pouring rain so this shot was hard to get. Not to mention the fact that they dont allow tripods. If fact, I got caught by security taking this shot and he not only made me take the camera down but he wouldn't leave until I physically removed the camera from the tripod.

In Greek mythology, Prometheus (Ancient Greek: Προμηθεύς, "forethought")[1] is a Titan, the son of Iapetus and Themis, and brother to Atlas, Epimetheus and Menoetius. He was a champion of mankind, known for his wily intelligence, who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals.[2] Zeus then punished him for his crime by having him bound to a rock while a great eagle ate his liver every day only to have it grow back to be eaten again the next day .
His myth has been treated by a number of ancient sources, in which Prometheus is credited with – or blamed for – playing a pivotal role in the early history of mankind. Wikipedia

While I don't know anything about Prometheus (except for how he looks) I still felt like making him, enjoy.
Prometheus (meaning "forethought") is a Titan in Greek mythology, best known as the deity in Greek mythology who was the creator of mankind and its greatest benefactor, who stole fire from Mount Olympus and gave it to mankind.
Arriving at Shipyard No. 3, there are several things to photograph. First, is the dock where the Prometheus Leader and other car-carriers dock and unload cars to be shipped across the U.S. by rail.

Sand tufa formations at Mono Lake in California.
You can't tell from the picture but these fragile structures are only inches tall and get their shape from winds stripping away their sandy coverings. I was lying down, crawling or sitting in order to get different handheld shots with low camera angle and only centimeters away with the sun setting behind them.
This is 3 shots blended together for focus. At first I was a little hesitant about blown-out sun but then it grew on me.
This was taken on a first day of tour with Marc Adamus - whom I am forever grateful for his infinite knowledge, vision, mentorship and friendship.

About 85% done. See how much stuff changes over time...This is probably missing parts of the old you may have liked, fear not I have them saved for other projects.
I wanted to deviate from the "space sausage" so I made alterations. Kind an homage to Studio Nue rather than Homeworld-esque . I just need to fill in greebly bits in between the panels.
It is unfortunate that this bears the same name as the upcoming movie, but my daughter has been doing Greek mythology and I had some macross stickers.
