Autumn leaves are hanging on even into the depths of winter this year. In my little corner of the world, clouds often obscure the sun, especially in winter. In the darkness of December, these colorful Weigela leaves remind me of my own ability to make my own sunshine. :)
"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer."

The Salar contains a large amount of sodium, potassium, lithium and magnesium as well as borax. With an estimated 9,000,000 t, Bolivia holds about 7% of the world's known lithium resources; most of those are in the Salar de Uyuni.
Small forest of hardwoods keeps watch over Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area in Chanhassen/Chaska, Minnesota.
This was originally the site of the Mudcura Sanitarium, a world-famous spa that was opened in 1909 and operated until 1951.
Per MNOpedia, in 1951, the sanitarium was sold to the Black Franciscans, Order of Friars Minor Conventual, from Louisville, Kentucky. They named it Assumption Seminary and the site became linked with both the Colleges of St. Catherine and St. Thomas in St. Paul.
The Seminary remained in operation until 1970 and then sat vacant for many years, becoming a popular hangout for teens and other thrill seekers. The main building burned and was demolished in 1997.
The land is now home to the Minnesota DNR Seminary Fen Scientific & Natural Area that protects the rare calcareous fen that is now the star of the show here.

Molti mestieri spariscono ma c'è ancora chi resiste all'incessante evoluzione del consumismo sfrenato quello che produce beni di consumo scadenti e a basso costo. Beni non riutilizzabili e facili da buttare che constribusicono allo spreco di risorse e all'inquinamento di questa terra.
Old craftsmen
Many professions disappear but there are still those who resist the incessant evolution of unbridled consumerism, the one that produces cheap and shoddy consumer goods. Non-reusable and easy-to-throw goods that contribute to the waste of resources and the pollution of this earth.

This is the companion shot to 'Along the Trail', I didn't think to get a shot of the entire tree, it was incredibly tall, but loved how they just incorporated it into the trail. Anyway, it's a beautiful spot well worth seeking out if you're in the neighborhood.
Birch trees need to be self reliant since they usually have no neighbouring tree species to give them shade or protection. They grow a lot faster than many other trees. But it also means that they “burnout” sooner from overtaxing their resources. In the book “The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben”, Peter says this, “ Birches rush through life, live beyond their means, and eventually wear themselves out.” Sounds like some people I know. Keep it simple folks. Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday.

Excerpt from fpf.ccidahk.gov.hk/en/location/detail.php?id=76:
Tsuen Wan Jockey Club Tak Wah Park was designed along the classical Chinese garden theme. The park, with an area of about 1.63 hectares, is located in Tsuen Wan town centre. Being a Chinese-style garden that is rarely found in Tsuen Wan, Tak Wah Park provides a fine place for relaxation in the bustling town area. Sponsored by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, construction works of the park were carried out in 2 phases. Phase I was completed in 1989, while Phase II was completed in 1995. Modelled on the setup of a classical Chinese garden, the park has rock mountains made from Taihu rock, thick foliage, ornamental lakes, ancient village houses, a "pai lau", stone bridge, a stone boat, a pavilion and a verandah. A "Chess Garden" was built in the park, where giant stone-carved pieces of Chinese chess are used to display the endgame for the deliberation of chess lovers. In addition, there are 2 theme gardens in the park, namely, "Camellia Garden" and "Herb Garden", where different species of Camellia and herb are grown. Tak Wah Gallery and Environmental Resources Centre are converted from ancient village houses on the site. They are managed by Leisure and Cultural Services Department and Environmental Protection Department respectively.

The striking Mineral Resources Limited livery applied to the MRL class locomotives & MHPY / MHLY wagons looks smart and resplendent as a block train, which is illustrated here as MRL006 & MRL002 race through the historic rural outback town of Southern Cross as train no. 5032 loaded ore service from Mount Walton to Kwinana. Thursday, 15th February 2018. This service is operated by Pacific National on behalf of Mineral Resources. Southern Cross is the last town on the eastern edge of the wheatbelt and the first town on the Eastern Goldfields.
A video of these MRL services can be watched here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXcays9slAg

This fence definitely was a use of the available resources, and very little cash was expended in its construction. I actually see this quite often, but usually not next to a main road....HFF everyone!
The dynamic brakes on the pair of CIT Rail Resources SD90MACs are howling as they work to hold back the tonnage of the raw taconite ore as Northshore Mining’s morning train descends into their destination of Silver Bay, Minnesota.
Driving and walking rovers competed to survey a shadowy analogue of the south polar lunar surface for useable resources during the inaugural ESA-ESRIC Space Resources Challenge. Some 13 teams from across Europe and Canada took part in last month’s field test, with the winners due to be announced shortly.
The Space Resources Challenge – supported by ESA and the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC) in Luxembourg – is asking European (and Canadian) researchers and institutions to develop and demonstrate a system of one or more vehicles capable of prospecting resources on the Moon in the near future.
Massimo Sabbatini, overseeing the contest for ESA, comments: “ESA is analysing the results of the first field test of the Challenge and the competition is fierce. There was a wide range of participants and technological solutions to the problem of prospecting: notably different locomotion techniques – legged, wheeled, tracked, and so on – and approaches, such as single versus multiple vehicles and aerial vehicles. The jury is out!”
The emphasis of the contest is on prospecting: pinpointing promising resources within a difficult lunar environment then characterising them in as much detail as possible, such as through visual inspection or spectral analysis.
The lunar poles are a focus of interest for future exploration. They do not experience the crippling temperature extremes of the Moon’s two-week days and nights, and frozen water and other deposits are believed to be buried within permanently shadowed polar craters.
The Space Resources Challenge teams gathered at Valkenberg in the Netherlands had to contend with challenging illumination conditions and potential loss of signal events to locate resources, including mapping a small impact crater in the vicinity of the rover’s lander – all within a two and a half hour time limit.
The five winners will be awarded €375 000 in ESA contracts, with a larger prize pool on offer after a follow-on field test hosted by ESRIC next year.
