It had been raining on and off all morning but there’s always something to shoot. Taking shelter under the bridge I thought I’d snap the under structure of the SHB… it’s amazing this was constructed without any safety gear or ropes!

Tiny hair-like structures of salt grow and combine to form the salt flats at Badwater in Death Valley. Here is a wider view of the same area showing how the salt combines to form geometric pools.

Scrap Collector:
Roaming the barren wastelands and old ruins of bygone civilization, the Scrap Collector picks his way through the crumbling and decaying structures in an apocalyptic land, searching for scrap and junk that he can tinker and alter to sell or utilize. Wearing a handcrafted re-breather to filter out the poisonous fumes and choking dust and tattered rags, the Scrap Collector braves the dangerous wastes for weeks at a time to find valuable salvage.
On his backpack, he has outfitted himself with a pair of powerful mechanical grappling arms, able to dig through sand and stone to uncover the scrap. Once he has found something he deems useful, his mechanical arms strap the junk to a dilapidated wooden hanger above his head.
None have seen the face of this solitary wanderer, and many believe that he may not even be a human, but a mutant who has been affected by the toxic fumes of the waste. He only ever travels to settlements to barter and trade what his salvage before departing again to roam the barren ruins, chittering and chattering to himself in an incomprehensible speech.
(This is my Minifig Face Off Round 1 Lego Apocalypse entry. My minifigure is going up against JShortForJay and his figure: www.flickr.com/photos/135745767@N02/49626807373)
(As a primarily custom builder, I am quite surprised and proud to say that this is an unmodded and non custom minifig. There was no painting, cutting, gluing, etc in creating this fig and all pieces are either Lego or 3rd party pieces. It was definitely a fun challenge to try and create a non custom figure and took a lot of tries lol. Several of the pieces are very precariously placed. Thanks for reading!)

A utility pole that uses the minifigure zip line handles so that string can be fed through to link multiple poles together. Would work well for layouts I think. It's also made to be pretty sturdy. Free Instructions here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-50464/MasterBuilderKTC/utility-p...
The long white structures that look something like matchsticks are the male part of the flower called the stamen. The top of the stamen release pollen which is caught is the golden, hooked stigma in the hairy cone above the stamen. The pollen is then fed down to the purple ovaries below. At the beginning of the fertilization cycle the ovaries are encased in ranks of stamen which can be seen on the right side of the image. When seeds are formed, the stamen fall off which can be seen in the next image, Magnolia 3. (#2 of 3)

CATALÀ
Tragopogon pratensis, conegut també com a barba de cabra o salsifí de prat, és una espècie de planta asteràcia. És biennal i herbàcia. Es troba als Països Catalans. Té una roseta basal amb les fulles allargades, del seu centre apareix una tija floral que arriba a fer 1 metre. La corol·la és ligulada, de color groc viu, només s'obre unes poques hores al matí i es tanca la resta del dia. Com altres espècies del gènere Tragopogon, rep el nom comú de barba de cabra perquè de la corol·la tancada s'escapen els filaments blanquinosos o bruns del papus plomós dels fruits que són similars a les pilositats de la barbeta del boc. Les arrels i brots tendres són comestibles.
És planta nativa de l'Europa mediterrània; s'estén fins a Europa septentrional, el Caucas i Pakistan. Ha estat introduïda a Amèrica i Nova Zelanda.

ENGLISH
Tragopogon pratensis (common names Jack-go-to-bed-at-noon,[1] meadow salsify, showy goat's-beard or meadow goat's-beard) is a biennial plant in the family Asteraceae, distributed across Europe and North America, commonly growing in fields (hence its name) and on roadsides. It is found in North America from southern Ontario to Massachusetts; most of England; on the eastern and southern edges of Scotland; and central Ireland but not the coastal edges.
It flowers between June and October and its flowers have a diameter of 3–5 cm. The root and buds are edible, and it has a milky latex.
The plant grows up to 76 cm (30 in) tall.[2]
It differs from viper's-grass (Scorzonera humilis) in that Viper's-grass has short, pale green bracts, whereas in Goat's-beard they are long and pointed.
The lower leaves are 10 to 30 cm long, lanceolate, keeled lengthwise, grey-green, pointed, hairless, with a white midrib. The upper leaves are shorter and more erect. It is the only United Kingdom dandelion type flower with grass like leaves.[3]
The flower heads are 5 cm wide. They only open in the morning sunshine, hence the name 'Jack go to bed at noon'.
The achenes are rough, long beaked pappus radiating outwards interwoven like a spider's web of fine white side hairs (referred to as a “Blowball")
The roots can be boiled and eaten like potatoes. The young shoots can also be used in diabetic salads.

Pamela S. Soltis in Flora of North America (vol. 19, 20 and 21)
Plants (15-)40-100 cm. Leaves: apices usually recurved to coiled, faces initially tomentulose to floccose, soon glabrescent. Peduncles usually little, if at all, inflated (at flowering, may be inflated in fruit), initially floccose to tomentulose, soon glabrescent. Involucres urceolate in bud. Outer florets equaling or surpassing phyllaries; corollas yellow. 2n = 12. Flowering May-Aug. Disturbed sites; 10-2100 m; introduced; Alta., B.C., Man., N.B., Nfld. and Labr. (Nfld.), N.S., Ont., P.E.I., Que., Sask.; Ariz., Calif., Colo., Conn., Del., D.C., Ga., Idaho, Ill., Ind., Iowa, Kans., Ky., Maine, Md., Mass., Mich., Minn., Mo., Mont., Nebr., Nev., N.H., N.J., N.Mex., N.Y., N.C., Ohio, Okla., Oreg., Pa., R.I., S.Dak., Tenn., Utah, Vt., Va., Wash., W.Va., Wis., Wyo.; Europe. Tragopogon pratensis is naturalized across much of North America. The circumscription and infraspecific taxonomy of T. pratensis in Europe are debated, and the name T. pratensis may prove to be inaccurately assigned to the introduced populations in North America.

Los frutos son cipselas fusiformes con un cuerpo de 2-2,5 cm de largo, algo curvado y longitudinalmente surcado con finas crestas intermedias tuberculadas, bruscamente estrechado en un fino y liso pico centimétrico coronado por un vilano de numerosos pelos plumosos blanquecinos.

The patterns delineated here have not yet been classified by a Linnaeus of human bondage. They are all, perhaps, strangely, familiar.
In these pages I have confined myself to laying out only some of those I actually have seen. Words that come to mind to name them are: knots, tangles, fankles, impasses,
disjunctions, whirligogs, binds.
I could have remained closer to the ‘raw’ data in which these patterns appear. I could have distilled them further towards an abstract logico-mathematical, calculus. I hope they are not so schematized that one may not refer back to the very specific experiences from which they derive; yet that they are sufficiently independent of ‘content’, for one to divine the final formal elegance in these webs of maya.

Multiple levels (parallel planes; rock surface curves down to right) of slickensided fault surfaces in an outcrop of Marron Fm. andesitic volcanic rock (in south-central British Columbia), with one of my fingers for scale. Above my finger, the lighter coloured material is a mineral vein (fluid flowed along a fault plane and mineral precipitated from solution) with a patchy distribution now because it is partly eroded away.
The slickenlines present have two different groove lineation directions, diagonal down to the left and down to the right in both the purplish-brown host rock and the light brown vein material. They record two different steep (sub-vertical) directions of fault motion at this site back in the Eocene (ca. 50 million years ago), a time of post-orogenic normal faulting in this part of western Canada.
