Bled, Slovenia (March, 2017)
View from our hotel window in Auckland, New Zealand. Could be any city in the world of course. A concrete jungle.
It makes for an optical urban illusion, as the eyes and brain wonder which building is behind or in front of which.

Operations image of the week:
A team of researchers at ESA’s mission control centre in Darmstadt, Germany, are investigating new concepts for controlling rovers on a planet and satellites in orbit.
One approach is to assess the latest developments in augmented and virtual reality and how they can be applied to the stringent operational and safety requirements of spaceflight, both robotic and human.
“In one case, we are looking into emerging technologies such as virtual and augmented reality, working together with colleagues from ESA’s European Astronaut Centre in Cologne,” says Mehran Sarkarati.
“In particular, we are developing prototypes in astronaut operations and training while identifying scenarios for interactive spacecraft and robotic control.”
In this image, Steffen Bamfaste, a data systems engineer, demonstrates how astronauts might train in future to extinguish a fire inside a lunar habitat.
Similar augmented reality technology holds promise for satellite control by means of virtual displays and advanced, integrated team communication capabilities.
Today, engineers must upload a stack of commands to instruct a satellite to adjust its orbit or a rover to switch one of its onboard devices on or off, for example.
In future, perhaps they’ll do this with a simple wave of a hand.

Here's a tiny snapshot of the challenges of maintaining, operating and making a living as a farmer. According to current statistics, the average income of a farmer in Massachusetts is $28,719.00. A mid-sized new tractor cost between $25,000 and $50,000. Larger ones sell for as much as $150,000. Annual cost of repairs to farm equipment and farm buildings must take a huge chuck out of yearly income. It's no wonder that so many farmers are going out of business and the condition of existing farms often seem less than ideal.
This shot is straight off the camera. I took this in HDR mode and zoomed in between frames. No edits or special effects.

Virginia was a writer, visionary and a woman whom I greatly admire.

Thank you all very much for your visits, favs and comments.
So this is some of my first shots with my new Polaroid SX-70 camera. I tried a package of the silver shade film first, but I found it a bit too random, beeing extremely sensitive to temperature. I got a little more kick out of this Color shade push package, eventhough it produces a strange purple tint.

Upon further investigation and considering he had just tried to kill himself 6 weeks prior, he did not fall, He killed himself.
People need to start talking about these things... they really do
I know, he left my oldest son a letter in his pocket they found.
25 is way too young.<3 <3 <3 <3

Its so true that sometimes the story is so much different than what meets the eye. Here's a shot that I have altered a bit using photoshop (mostly the clone stamp tool) and below is the original. I guess, we all know which "reality" this bird might prefer...
Well, I am trying to learn some PS tricks... hope you like the result.
