Chapter II: The Mystery of the Incubators
The style card and credits here
Sam found himself alone in the laboratory, the dim lights flickering intermittently over the equipment. A bottle of beer was within his reach as he immersed himself in his thoughts. Recently, an unusual event had shaken his scientific world: the disappearance of a body from the incubators. This act not only defied the laws but also raised serious questions about the integrity of the timeline.
As the golden liquid flowed down his throat, Sam pondered the possible devastating consequences that this incident could unleash. What effect would it have on historical evolution? How would it alter temporal continuity? These questions haunted him, filling his mind with unease and concern.
An even more alarming idea seized his thoughts: Who could have orchestrated this act and for what purpose? Time travel technology was heavily regulated, its illegal use a serious offense. Only a few would have access to it, and none of them would have noble motives to carry out such an action.
As Sam delved into his reflections, a determination grew within him: he must uncover the truth behind this enigma. Not only for the sake of the scientific community and temporal stability but also for his insatiable thirst for knowledge. With determination in his gaze, he promised himself that he would not rest until he found answers and ensured that temporal integrity remained intact.

Good night my angel time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you've been asking me
I think you know what I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Where ever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away
*
Good night my angel now it's time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I'm rocking you to sleep
The water's dark and deep
Inside this ancient heart
You'll always be a part of me
*
Goodnight my angel now it's time to dream
And dream how wondeful your life will be
Someday your child will cry and if you sing this lullaby
Then in your heart there will always be a part of me
Someday we'll all be gone
But lullabies go on and on
They never die that's how you and I will be

I was nominated .
Number TWO.
The world seen through my eyes, was the 'challenge'.
It posed serious questions. How do I see the world?
Despite everything… I still see the world in a positive light (LOL, old, photographer’s joke?), really, I see so much beauty, in Nature, in people, in manmade objects.
And THAT is what I try to capture, each and every day.
here are certainties and fixed values… every day there is a sunrise, every day there is a sunset.
The seasons follow nicely with their different moods and colours. Aah, there it is: THE WORD: COLOURS.
Yes I see the world in technicolour, tie that in with emotion, sometimes humour and we’re all there: my world.
ART by CHANCE…
This was taken from the car as we came back from France, the sun was going down fast above Flanders' fields, it was beautiful, I chanced it...
I do not often use the word art , but this?
I think it is special, the church just sharp, so typically Flanders. It's rapidly becoming a personal favourite!
...At 70 miles/hour, there's bound to be something in your shot, or when the fraction in time and space is just perfect, yes, you guessed it, a bump or a pothole, grrr... only another type of frustration? Hihi...

You can ask me questions if your more creative then me xD(Which you probably are..)
As a B&B host (not an Air BnB Superhost! no thanks) I get asked many questions: where to go, what to see, what's the weather going to do today, etc? Fortunately, having an interest in photography has helped me in that, as I regularly recce the area to check roads, where deer are, highland coos, etc, and taste the local whisky so that I know!
Sometimes I'm powerless to help. When people (French) travel from the south of France to the Scottish Highlands and then decide it's too far to go 25 miles to explore the end of the Ardnamurchan peninsula. Or they only bring white trainers and no walking boots with them as if expecting to only walk on city pavements and not across unspoilt and rugged Mother Nature. I despair sometimes with the lack of 'nous' or planning. Of course they also expect to get up late and then set off for a day trip of all of Skye....and haven't even thought to book a ferry in peak season.
Some, a few, arrive better prepared, some with teenage kids more interested in staying in the room and playing Call of Duty on the Playstation. To them, I might say, why not go far off the beaten trail out to Glendrian?
Your kids can get some lungfulls of pure, fresh highland air, some exercise and some education (why do people come here with big plastic bottles of Highland Spring water bottled from some drain near the Ochil Hills near Glasgow? How could it be more pure than what we have come out of the mountains around here? At least I'm reasonably confident our water hasn't already passed through several other human beings, and only filtered after flowing through the whole sewage system and chemically recycled).
Glendrian is an abandoned crofting township in the centre of the Ardnamurchan peninsula centred on grid reference NM480687. It is a Scheduled Monument, Historic Scotland describing it as “of national importance because of its potential to contribute to our understanding of post-medieval settlement and economy. Although only abandoned in the 1940s the settlement incorporates information for the earlier expansion and contraction of the community who lived here. The buildings are varied in date and style and contain evidence for the complex history of settlement on the site.”
Glendrian’s lands occupy the eastern half of the low land within the circle of hills formed by the main ring dykes of the Ardnamurchan Tertiary Volcanic Complex. Even in winter, when the vegetation has died back, the buildings are difficult to see.
But take your teenagers out there and ask them to imagine it was their home, completely isolated and cut off in the low land where there is total silence within the circle of hills formed by the main ring dykes of the Ardnamurchan Tertiary Volcanic Complex. There's no road to it. No electricity. The running water is in the form of a burn along the bottom of the shallow valley. No shops. And apart from feeding and tending to the animals kids still had to go to school in Kilchoan, six miles over the hills. And they didn't have modern water and windproof clothing to cloth them as they walked to school in winter darkness, and rain, hail and snow. And shock-horror: tell your teenagers they had no phone signal or wifi either!
People lived in Glendrian until the 1940's until the convenience of motorised transport links, shops and electricity lured them to living in towns and villages. 80 years on, if they were still alive would they move back, valuing the quality of life in Glendrian: no noise, no traffic, no crowds, no crime, no rape, no knife crime - a peaceful way of life? That's what 'civilisation' should be. Indeed the movement of people to live in towns and cities has heralded the end of civilisation! A visit to Glendrian can teach modern youth, and city and town folk a lot! I scuttled off home before the rain arrived.
A more comprehensive history of the settlement is here : heritageardnamurchan.co.uk/glendrian/
Me and my cousins Hubby Balaji, both of us had an hours time of talking about the lives of these kids at the Ahobila Madam. They answered our silly questions on Religion, Mythology and god patiently. The session was one of the most enlightening and interesting ones i have ever had. This was shot while we spoke on many a things in general about life, religion, perspective, money etc.,

should i do a 365 thing, guys?
i've kindof been thinking about it lately, but i have some reservations. i already have well over 365 pictures of myself, so i'm not sure what i'd need more for, so i'm just thinking about it, and i'd like your opinions, if you have any.
i'm not sure i'd have the time to keep up with it, but i'm looking for something to challenge myself with this year. i know taking self-portraits isn't that hard for me, so i'm wondering if there's a way i could make it more interesting.
i could do 365 pictures of not-myself, but i'm sure a lot of these will be done in my house when i get home from school/work late at night, so taking pictures of objects around my house might get old. plus, there's usually more options for pictures with people in them.
or i could do 365 not-photoshopped pictures, but i <3 photoshop lots and i don't feel like it's that much of a crutch for me (though i assume lots of people might think otherwise). plus the whole bragging about "sooc" is kindof lame, ngl.
i could also try to write a small something to go along with each picture.
so i don't know.
also, where would i post them? on this flickr, i imagine, but then where would i post pictures that were not-365 related?
i know it's generally better to post as little as possible each day and not bombard flickr, but that's difficult enough for me as it is. i could make another flickr for a 365, i guess.
so, yeah, what do you guys think (assuming anyone cares)? any ideas to how i could liven up a 365 project? how do you guys approach it, if you do at all? what are your reasons for doing it? do you think it's kindof a boring/generic thing to do? if i were to do one, do you think i should post it here, or make a new, 365-exclusive flickr/tumblr/something else? i would like to know your thoughts on anything, if you wouldn't mind telling me. :]
(for the record this picture is a few weeks old, not the beginning of a 365.)
Instead of uploading all the photos I took to make this question, I'll show the finished composite.
The letters are from around my campus. I proposed two weeks ago (sorry, it's been a while since I've been on Flickr), and Ginger did say "yes." :)

In a dream it would seem
I went to those who close the open door
And turning the key I sat and spoke to those
inside of me
They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
Where the moon was a star painted dancer
And the world was just a spectrum of light
They reached to my centre of reason
And pulled on the touchstone that's there
The shock of that light had me reeling
And I fell into the depths of despair
Turning the key I sat and spoke to those
inside of me
They answered my questions with questions
And they set me to stand on the brink
Where the sun and the moon were as brothers
And all that was left was to think
They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
And the power that bore me had left me alone
To figure out which way was right
Thank you .. Manfred Mann's Earth Band 😎👍

Si l'on regarde l'offre actuelle des différents constructeurs en matière de boîtiers photo, tous les modèles affichent une fiche technique particulièrement fournie. Dès lors, une question récurrente se pose : est-il possible de tomber sur un "mauvais" boîtier ?
En fait, tout dépend de ce dont on parle. En termes de qualité d'image, tous les boîtiers, même en entrée de gamme, sont capables de livrer des clichés très qualitatifs, avec un bon niveau de détails et une excellente restitution des couleurs. De même, tous les boîtiers vendus aujourd'hui dépassent (et de très loin) les performances de leurs aînés sur les photos en basse lumière. Il y a quelques années, capturer des clichés à 6400 ISO était presque impensable ; aujourd'hui, c'est devenu quelque chose de "presque" banal.
En fait, la différence entre deux boîtiers va se jouer sur d'autres critères. Je pense notamment à l'autofocus : non seulement en termes de vitesse d'accroche du sujet, mais aussi d'efficacité de la détection et du suivi du sujet et de son œil (humain, animaux, véhicules, etc).
De même, la vitesse en rafale – mais aussi la capacité de la mémoire tampon (buffer) – sont deux aspects importants.
Enfin, l'ergonomie va être un point assez intéressant à étudier : même au sein d'une même marque, certains appareils s'avèrent plus agréables à prendre en main et à utiliser que d'autres.
En définitive et dans mon cas de figure, j’ai décidé de ne plus faire l’acquisition de nouveaux boîtiers même, si je dois vous l’avouer avoir été très intéressé par le nouveau Nikon Z9 après l’avoir eu en mains pendant quelques temps et prêté gratuitement par l’importateur de l’enseigne en Belgique !
Ma conclusion est qu’avec ma collection relativement importante de boîtiers et d’objectifs Nikon, j’ai décidé de continuer de shooter avec mes deux boîtiers phares à savoir le D500 et le D4s et d’utilisés les autres qu’occasionnellement !
Pour les objectifs le problème est évidemment différent puisqu’ils resteront toujours fonctionnels avec n’importe quel boîtier choisi !
Bonne journée et à bientôt les artistes :D
************************************* PdF************************************** °********************************************************************************
If we look at the current offer of the various manufacturers in terms of photo cameras, all the models display a particularly extensive technical sheet. Therefore, a recurring question arises: is it possible to come across a "bad" box?
In fact, it all depends on what we are talking about. In terms of image quality, all cameras, even entry-level, are capable of delivering high-quality shots, with a good level of detail and excellent color reproduction. Similarly, all cameras sold today exceed (by far) the performance of their elders in low-light photos. A few years ago, capturing shots at ISO 6400 was almost unthinkable; today, it has become something "almost" commonplace.
In fact, the difference between two boxes will be played on other criteria. I'm thinking in particular of the autofocus: not only in terms of the speed of capturing the subject, but also of the effectiveness of the detection and tracking of the subject and its eye (human, animals, vehicles, etc.).
Likewise, burst speed – but also buffer capacity – are two important aspects.
Finally, ergonomics will be a rather interesting point to study: even within the same brand, some devices are more pleasant to handle and use than others.
In the end and in my case, I decided not to acquire new cameras even, if I must admit to you that I was very interested in the new Nikon Z9 after having had it in my hands for a few time and loaned free of charge by the importer of the sign in Belgium!
My conclusion is that with my relatively large collection of Nikon cameras and lenses, I decided to continue shooting with my two flagship cameras, the D500 and the D4s and only used the others occasionally!
For the lenses the problem is obviously different since they will always remain functional with any chosen case!
Have a nice day and see you soon artists :D
Skull!
They all know, they all know!
Sorry, did I wake your dream, some questions run too deep
We only, only wake up when we sleep
Led by the lunar light, trouble's all we'd find
Lost our way tonight
Is it something we said?
Is it something we said to them?
Is it something we said?
Save me - I'm trapped in a vile world
Save me - Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me - I'm losing my only dream
Save me - I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
They all know, they all know!
Ever since the day you left my fates been set unknown
How many years to walk this path alone?
So much to see tonight, so why'd you close your eyes?
Why can't I shut mine?
Is it something we did?
Is it something we did to them?
Is it something we did?
Save me - I'm trapped in a vile world
Save me - Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me - I'm losing my only dream
Save me - I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
If you hear me, let me know
Help me find my way
Said help me find my way
No pulse inside of me
Stone cold lips and heresy
All lies and to a degree
Losing you I wanna be, oh
You'll find out right now,
He may be out of his mind, but someday you will find
That sanity has left us all blind, and dragged us all behind
A moment seen through those eyes, crystal blue disguise
They say that all beauty must die, I say it just moves on
If you'd only open your mind, then someday you will find
Insanity left us behind, and walked right through the door
I can see the picture's clear as yesterday, pictures all my own
I can hear the voices begging you to stay, but know you're not alone
Save me - I'm trapped in a vile world
Save me - Where the end game's all the same as every other
We're only here to die
Save me - I'm losing my only dream
Save me - I can use some guiding light, some place to go
If you hear me, let me know
If you hear me, let me know
Tonight we all die young
Tonight we all die
Tonight we all die young...

Question: How many cables does it take to hold up the ten lane Port Mann Bridge?
Answer: 288
Project 365-085
Following on from yesterday's shot of a short consist 6M18 at Long Eaton, this week's Saturday double helping goes even shorter, posing the question...."was it really worth it?"!...............
Secondly, GBRf's 'aggregates' liveried 66711 'Sence' passes Trowell Junction with a one wagon 6O01, the 10.18 departure from Scunthorpe Trent to Eastleigh East Yard.
am assuming that this truck and the beat-up car on the trailer belong to the policeperson who is guiding traffic around a road resurfacing crew who are heating up the macadam, scraping it off, and will eventually replace it with a new surface. that at least explains the orange sign.

Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis) U.S. National Arboretum, Washington DC
Your wish is my command. On the last day of this unseasonably warm weather (74 Fahrenheit today dropping down to more seasonal 54 degrees tomorrow) I wished to see one more new butterfly species. Out of the blue, there was a fluttering and this beautiful Question Mark settled on a magnolia tree and was basking in the sun. Its wings backlit by the sun produced some uncommon images of this butterfly. In this ventral view (closed wing position), both the dorsal (top view) and ventral (bottom view) markings are visible.
In Bluebirds, the blue colour is produced by the structure of the feather - there is no blue pigment. "Tiny air pockets in the barbs of feathers can scatter incoming light, resulting in a specific, non-iridescent color. Blue colors in feathers are almost always produced in this manner. Examples include the blue feathers of Bluebirds, Indigo Buntings, Blue Jay's and Steller's Jays."

This was not one of my 'usual' Mountain Bluebirds, and I was so happy to notice it, perched on a fence post. Managed to take about four rapid shots before a man, walking along a path leading from his property, caused it to fly. This handsome little bird made such a nice ending to my drive.
The weather forecast for yesterday was a risk of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. My plan had been to start out early in the morning and be home before any storm could arrive. However, as tends to happen, it was late morning before I finally made it out the front door. I enjoyed seeing the build-up of clouds, but was fortunate that the storm stayed away.
It had been a while since I last drove out to the area I wanted to explore; maybe eight months or so. I was curious as to whether I was going to be able to find a bird that many people had been reporting recently. A species that is rarely seen in Alberta, though I had seen a number of them on a trip to Texas in March 2019. I did also see one at a different location, at Frank Lake,but the extremely distant bird looked the size of a pin head.
My hope was that most people who wanted to see this bird had already been out there. My waiting till later paid off, as there was just one couple there. The bird was far away across on the other side of a pond, but my eyes eventually found it. I noticed two people walking fast towards it and I first thought they were unethical photographers. When I zoomed in, I could see that they were fishermen! The bird was flushed and fortunately flew that much closer to where I was standing, yet still quite a distance away. It was so interesting to watch this bird search every inch of the ground, several times catching a tiny fish. Suddenly, it flew, and I wondered what had spooked it. When I saw a photographer walking back through the trees closest to us, my question was answered. Am I really the only person who is not intent on getting inflight shots, even if the bird has to be flushed in order to get them? Anyway, I was so delighted to get the chance to watch it for a while.
On the way home, I drove the long way through my 'usual" area. I was surprised that I didn't see many birds, not even a Snipe. One Mountain Bluebird was so welcome.
Kemi Badenoch asked the perfect question on Iran at Prime Minister’s Questions today: why is Britain stopping the arrows not the archer? It cut through the fog and exposed the incoherence of the Labour Government’s position. Why intercept projectiles rather than confront the hand that fires them?
Keir Starmer does not have a settled position on Iran. Over the weekend, he changed his mind on allowing the US to use RAF bases. Yesterday, he authorised the deployment of a Royal Navy warship to protect Cyprus after RAF Akrotiri was struck by a drone. It should arrive in time for Christmas.

The Waterfront line heads up the slope and enters the tunnel heading for Tower City.
The Waterfront RTA line opened on July, 10, 1996. Interestingly, this line passes under and has a station underneath the Detroit-Superior Bridge (where the abandoned since 1954 streetcar / subway route is). This is the newest RTA line and is a light rail route, not a grade separated / heavy rail metro route like the red line.
