Fall view of downtown from the Stanley Park seawall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
About this photo: After several days of rain and windstorms here in Vancouver, I am happy to report that there are still some pretty fall colours around and quite some leaves are still hanging on for a little while longer!
I enjoyed some time in Stanley Park last week where the views are always amazing. With still some fall colours left, these views are even better! I took this photo along the Stanley Park seawall with a view of downtown Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Some information about Vancouver: Vancouver is known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Vancouver is Canada's third largest city and is located by the Pacific Ocean on a peninsula surrounded by water and in the distance there are the mountains. Vancouver is considered a pretty clean and safe city with a great variety of shops, museums, theatre, outdoor activities (hiking, walking, kayaking, sailing, skiing on the local mountains in the winter) and more. Walking around Stanley Park is a favourite thing to do for tourist and locals alike. This beautiful park extends from the city centre of Vancouver almost to the North Shore. With wonderful views of the mountains and the ocean around every corner, downtown Vancouver is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. Walk along Robson Street, the most popular shopping street. Experience Chinatown with the different kinds of building and stores, walk on the beaches of English Bay and the seawall of Stanley Park, enjoy a walk in Gastown with the old steam clock and the many gift shops.
Look out for some Hollywood film sets as Vancouver is used for many big Hollywood movies and shows. That's why you might hear that Vancouver is called "Hollywood North". Here are some examples of shows and movies that were/are filmed here: "Deadpool 1 & 2", "The X-Files", "The Good Doctor", "Colony", "Arrow", "The Flash", "Supernatural", "Stargate-SG1", "The 6th Day", "Kiss of the Dragon", "Small Ville" and many many more. Then there is also the Canada Place, the stadiums, the Harbour Lookout, the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, Science World, the Vancouver Art Gallery and much more! All of these attractions are located within minutes from the city centre.
Vancouver is also popular in the winter for winter activities. There are 3 local mountains where you can do any type of winter sport. There is Grouse Mountain, most famous for it's stunning views over the city and fresh powder snow. Grouse Mountain is accessible by skyride...this is a big gondola that will take you up to the top of the mountain. Mount Seymour and Cypress Mountain are famous too and you also get wonderful views from the top of these mountains. As you can see...Vancouver has lots to offer. The Winter Olympics were held here in 2010 as well.
Dear Sir and Madam.
Ladies and gentlemen of the press.
Distinguished members of the Solar Confederation.
My name is Harley and I am the Commander of the Yamakoto.
I am proud to report that my crew and I have managed to fly the Yamakoto through our solar system at 3 times the speed of light.
The stars are now within reach because we will fly even faster.
Sarge was the only one who had seen something like this before. During the battle of Paschendale, he says that his regiment was annihilated not by the German war machine, but by creatures they never identified. Things that made men lose their mind. The rest of us were fresh as dough, trained, armed, and walking into something we'd never forget. A sleepy coastal town in Massachusetts, the treasury department of all departments found something that made them squirm, people that aren't people. Babies with gills like a fish, and lungs like a person. A woman talking about how their saviors come from the sea every fortnight when the moon was at it's brightest or it's darkest. We went in with orders, bring in everyone and everything, burn down the town, leave no trace, set up positions and kill anything that walked out of the tides. They told us a turkey shoot, one night mission, and it was almost. Except intelligence didn't know how long they could stay out of the water. Long enough to flank us. Long enough to start hunting us, long enough for men to lose it, and for terror to set in. My friends died, my sanity slipped, the things I saw haunted me for years until there was a knock at my door. Sarge was back, but hadn't he been dragged into the waves that night? Scars from something razor sharp ran across his face, the same kind of rugged sharpness I saw claw my friend's arm off did this. He asked if I could hold on to my sanity, and join him in fighting the things from beneath the waves, the deep ones. We'd put together a task force of the best fighters in the military. Sappers, raiders, anyone who knew how to fight and fight well. We'd be the arm of destruction while the Navy and other organizations investigated reports that would lead us to the heart of fear itself.

Pieter Paul Rubens (Siegen, 28 June 1577 - Antwerp, 30 May 1640) - The massacre of the innocents (1638) Dimensions 198.5 x 302.2 cm - Alte Pinakothek Munich
Il crudele massacro del Vangelo di Matteo (2: 16-18) è un capolavoro compositivo del compianto Rubens. L'azione è condotta da tre gruppi principali, in cui si svolge sempre la stessa interazione di desiderio omicida e disperazione, brutale uccisione e furiosa ma senza speranza resistenza. I gruppi sinistro e destro sono formati come unità chiuse. Quello di mezzo dirige l'occhio - a partire dalla donna progettata come monumento di disperazione materna, che allunga un pannolino insanguinato verso il cielo - verso il palazzo, dove Erode attende il rapporto di esecuzione.
The cruel massacre of the Gospel of Matthew (2: 16-18) is a compositional masterpiece of the late Rubens. The action is conducted by three main groups, in which the same interaction of homicidal desire and despair always takes place, brutal killing and furious but without hope resistance. The left and right groups are formed as closed units. The middle one directs the eye - starting from the woman designed as a monument of maternal desperation, who stretches a bloody diaper towards the sky - towards the palace, where Herod awaits the execution report.
It's been a while since I've posted a photo of this. It's 44 rounds and I still have lots and lots of yarn. Each round is about 3/4" so it must be about 66" in diameter.
Daily dose of Millerielle :D
(I have gotten two more pairs of Unoa hands for him, the salute(which he is using right now/pointing and grabby hands(waiting for them). I spoil him XD But they were right on the market when I got this guy and they were at the right price so I couldn't resist, hehe.)
We thought we knew the weight of our mission, however its weight was much greater than I originally expected, as soon as we arrived back at the staging ground for the "assistance" of the IAS, an abandoned parking garage, General Wuhan had immediately requested our presence. Immediately a cold shiver was sent down my spine, General Wuhan wasn't exactly the friendliest of military leaders, nor the humblest.
-Chinese SF Team Leader
- - - - - - - -
Team Lead - Sir, arriving as instructed
General Wuhan - Speak
Team Lead - Sir, we were under the impression we would debrief with our normal..
General Wuhan - That isn't my concern. I wanted to hear right away what these, local trash had to say about our proposal.
Team Lead - They are on board, apparently the CIA also..
General Wuhan - That does not change things. We carry on as planned

For the first rocket to reach 100K ft, altitude with GPS-validation.
The full flight report, with build notes, simulations, and flight files are on the Aeropac site.
This glorious photo is by team member Tom Rouse, the week before he helped me go supersonic with Warped Reality.
And now I'm daydreaming about the October Skies launch event this weekend. I have four rebuilt birds to fly, two by day and two at night.
