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."

Excerpt from www.cambridge.ca/en/learn-about/resources/Dickson-Hill-HC...:
Dickson Hill is one of the most unique communities in the City of Cambridge. Dickson Hill is named for the Honourable William Dickson, a prominent Galt settler who arrived to the area in 1816. Dickson is credited with founding the Village of Galt due to his considerable land holdings and was responsible for much of the commercial development on the west bank of the Grand River.
His son, William Dickson Jr., acquired most of the lands that currently make up the residential area of Dickson Hill. His own residence, located at 16 Byng Avenue was constructed in 1832. The development of the residential component occurred over several decades and by a series of developers. Florence Dickson, niece to William Dickson Jr., and his heir, controlled the development of this area until the 1890’s.
Dickson Hill features an extremely high concentration of significant buildings of various types: residential, institutional, commercial and manufacturing. In addition to the buildings, key elements that define the character of Dickson Hill are:
• Tree-lined streets;
• Distinctive globe street lights; and
• Prominent urban public spaces and landscape features.
Do one thing, one thing at a time.

In a time of a relentless push to multi-task, and multi-task quickly, to get more done in less time with fewer resources, doing one thing at a time may sound, does sound, heretical.
But to do one thing, just that one thing at a time, is to be exquisitely present; to be deeply transported into that place, and away from here and all other places.
For most of us, going deep ("in the zone" athletes say) happens - on occasion - by accident. But it can happen at almost anytime, with practice and our intention.
Being present isn't a word, or a concept, but a state of being (not "I feel at peace," but "I am at peace.").
It is to be so deeply into that one thing that we struggle to find words to adequately or accurately describe the feeling, or the state of being.
To be "one with..." at any time, anywhere, in any activity, is a state of being well worth the effort to reach. But one does not need to push to get there. Instead, One learns and practices "letting go," removing all things that are not the thing you wish to be or do.
It is Bliss by subtraction, not addition. :-) So much we deem essential...is not.
There's not much for me to add to the list in the image, although I would suspect that each of you may have a thing or two of value that you could put with it.
Note: the cooking and cleaning as meditation are real for me. It could be delivering a baby, digging in a garden, baking cookies or looking intently at a leaf for you. There were other things that I really wished to add as deep meditations, but decided to keep it all PG-13. ;-)
One thing.

Venerable Anthony Pecherskyi is a church figure of Kyivan Rus, a Christian saint. The founder of the Cave Monastery of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the builder of the Cathedral in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
«Antony, who came to the Kyiv hill, where there was nothing, made a vision of what should appear here, and it has been working for a thousand years. We still honor Saint Anthony.
......
Once upon a time, someone listened to Antony, gave him land, resources, people went to him - and we see the Lavra today."
/Maxim Ostapenko - director of "Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra", 17.10.2024/
Преподобний Антоній Печерський — церковний діяч Київської Русі, християнський святий. Засновник Печерського Монастиря Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці та будівничий Собору на честь Успіння Пресвятої Богородиці.
«Наша пам'ять – це така дивна річ, яка дозволяє нам бути, дозволяє нашому суспільству відчувати себе повноцінним. Війна, яка зараз відбувається, значною мірою є війною за нашу пам'ять. Ворог намагається її зачистити. Наш ворог приділяє історичній пам'яті, нашій ідентичності набагато більше уваги, ніж ми самі їй приділяли. Зараз точиться не тільки кінетична війна, а ми знаходимося в самому епіцентрі семантичної війни. Політика пам'яті, політика переосмислення нашої місії, нашого місця у світі, яке зараз відбувається через біль та страждання, змінює нас і наше усвідомлення. Тому треба приділити меморіалізації набагато більше уваги на державному рівні. Я розумію, що це зараз дуже важко робити на тлі новин з фронту, загиблих і тих страждань, які відбуваються. Але саме за пам'ять ведеться війна. І кожен із нас має стати тим банком даних, банком інформації, який понесе свою особисту пам'ять.
Антоній, який прийшов на київський пагорб, де не було нічого, зробив візію того, що тут має постати, і це працює тисячу років. Ми досі шануємо преподобного Антонія.
......
Колись хтось послухав Антонія, надав йому землю, ресурси, до нього пішли люди – і ми бачимо сьогодні Лавру.»
/Максим Остапенко - директор "Києво-Печерської лаври", 17.10.2024/
* Семантична війна — концептуальна війна за сенси і перспективи майбутнього: конструктивні, мережеві, загальнолюдські.
As the earth’s natural resources grow scare, agriculture begins to move into secure facilities. The goal is to closely monitor plant life and ensure organic growth can flourish on certain sections of the planet.
Hi all, figured I should probably post something before the end of the year. This build was inspired by some concept art I found online. I wanted to go for a clean sterilized look, with plain all white walls and light bluish gray concrete slabs for the floor. After realizing it was quite bland I decided to add a few small details, while still trying to keep the sterile feel.
I have quite a few WIP builds on my desk at the moment that I hope to complete over the coming months. Thanks for stopping by, feedback is appreciated!

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!
Ankaramena (Madagascar) - Vue de la rue principale de la commune d’Ankaramena. Deux fois par semaine les marchés aux zébus et aux légumes attirent de nombreux agriculteurs de la région d’Anosy. Ce gros village qui fait partie du district de Fort-Dauphin (Taolagnaro en malgache) compte plus de 14.000 habitants dont la grande majorité tire sa subsistance de l’agriculture avec la production de riz, de patates douces et du manioc. La mer n’étant pas très éloignée 8% de la population tire l’essentiel de ses ressources de la pêche.

Being told you have a visual impairment that can't be treated can be difficult to come to terms with.
Some people go through a process similar to bereavement, where they experience a range of emotions including shock, anger, and denial, before eventually coming to accept their condition.

Guillaume Daniel (G.D.) Delprat, after whom this shaft was named, was a Dutch-Australian metallurgist and mining engineer. An astute businessman, Delprat was Broken Hill Proprietry Limited’s ( BHP) General Manager from 1899 to 1921. He played an important part in the perfecting of a technique that came to be known as the (C.V.) Potter-Delprat flotation process; it revolutionized sulphide ore treatment and brought enormous profits from the metal content of millions of tons (tonnes) of formerly useless tailings.and a developer of the flotation process, which entails separating valuable minerals from gangue (mined rock that is not ore) with water.
The Delprat shaft was sunk in 1900. In 1952, the original wooden headframe was replaced by the present steel structure, and an electric winder replaced a steam engine. The early steam engines used to power mining machinery in the early twentieth century were powered by boilers fuelled by local firewood. Timber was also cut for use in buildings and headframes.
The shaft was closed to mining by the time MMM (Mining for Metal and Minerals) ceased operations in August 1976. It became a tourist mine in 1977, and its closure in 2007 was due to nearby remnant mining operations by CBH Resources.
