An unarmed hovering jellyfish bot to study local circumstances.
This was built in 2018-2019 along with Slalom Probemaster to discover possibilities of unarmed sci-fi settings. I never completed the base though and lost interest, despite liking the bot itself. Found it while rearraging parts and decided to give it a go.

West of Iqaluit, the road to the municipal dump cuts through a stark, snowbound landscape, where utility poles march across the tundra like sentinels of survival. Ice-crusted wires stretch into the pastel horizon, tracing the contours of human infrastructure against the silence of the land.
A lone structure anchors the distance, dwarfed by the vastness and light. In this image, the geometry of power lines meets the softness of Arctic dusk — a portrait of isolation, endurance, and the quiet choreography of northern life.
When we were discussing options for this year's autumn hiking adventure, it almost seemed like there was nothing left in northern Scandinavia that we all still wanted to explore. However, after some discussions, we realized that Finnish Lapland might be an interesting and convenient location for our regular autumn outdoor pursuits.
After conducting some research and planning, we narrowed our focus to Finland's northwest, bordering Sweden and Norway. More specifically, we honed in on the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, which happens to be the second-largest wilderness area in Finland.
-----
Käsivarsi is somewhat atypical for Finland due to its higher elevation (Finland's highest peak, Halti (1,324m), is located in its northern tip), rugged terrain, and limited wooded areas. This combination sounded particularly attractive to us because it meant we would hike across various types of landscapes, both on and off marked trails.
Our itinerary was as follows: Kilpisjärvi/Saana mountain -> Tshahkaljärvi lake -> Siktagurajohka river -> Meekonjärvi lake including trip to Pitsusköngäs waterfall -> Porojärvi lake including ascent of Saivaara cliff -> Guhturgurajávri/Termisjärvi lakes -> Ailakkajärvi lake -> Kilpisjärvi.
The Terrain Crawler is a simple aquatic bottom-dweller, sifting through the sediment for food. While not adept at combat, they do have a powerful regenerative ability, allowing them to escape more often than not.
No matter the terrain or situation, the DSN hardsuit division has equipped their host The Atreides Empire to dominate.
The Rhino is seen here staging for a suburban/light forest operation near a recently abandoned rail station.
Equipped with a melee saw, the quad rocket launcher, and the standard anti infantry auto tracking mini cannons above the dome this little beast packs a big punch. A unique accessory is the hardened carbo-steel shield.
The Gull is depicted mid-flight on mission to an undisclosed mountainous location to perform aerial and possibly light ground recon. Equipped with a melee lightsaber, a mid-caliber pistol, and the standard anti infantry auto tracking mini cannons above the dome, the Gull is speedy but able to hold its own. A unique accessory is the jet pack/maneuvering wings package.
Finally, the Reaver is shown on the deck of a picket cruiser still stationed above the DA world, ready for EVA operations. The Reaver is equipped with a nano-edge melee sword, a quad rocket launcher, a laser rifle, and the standard anti infantry auto tracking mini cannons above the dome. There's no EVA or boarding action too intense for this hardware. Two unique accessories are the maneuvering thruster backpack and the grapple hook seen over the left arm.
All hardsuits base hardware is the same, as such the height of the completed suits all fall under 8 bricks, as seen by the blue container and stack of grey boxes in two of the images (the wings and sword fold down). This enables a standard carriage container which yields a happy fleet logistics division!

Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand
This pit-viper is poisonous and its bite can be fatal. It measures between 60 and 80 cm, the female being bigger. The male has the white "lips", which is lacking in females. I photogrpah this snakes thanks to a specialist who saw it crossing the road, while going out of the Kaeng Krachan NP in Thailand.
This place is famous for covering one of the biggest forest expanse remaining in south east Asia, and therefore host large population of mammal, birds, reptiles and other wildlife. The hilly terrain, covered in vegetation but more open in places, allows the creation of more or less permanent waterholes, which in my opinion attracts animals and makes them more visible, which is why this national park is a very good place for observation, particularly of felines.
Myself I have been there to observe birds, and this particular evening I stopped next by a pool hoping to spot a Fish Owl and eventually Malaysian Night Heron. None of those two birds showed up, but instead a Black Panther (melanistic Neofelis nebulosa) came to drink in the pool, and this snakes came out.
It was my very first sight of these two different animal genus. Thus all in all this national park has lived up to all its promises, as well as offering magnificent landscapes.
Glaciated Terrain. Yosemite National Park, California. July 14, 2016. © Copyright 2016 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Trees in morning light on a glaciated dome, back by an immense fractured granite face, Yosemite National Park
I'm often out before the first light and then again as the last sunlight turns to dusk. These are not the only times of day worth photographing, but they are times that often produce beautiful light and colors and effects, with warm light and dramatic shadows. Many times — even during the busiest times of the year — I have stood it some of the most impressive locations and witnesses the most astonishing light... almost alone. I don't know whether to encourage everyone to get up early and stay out late or to perhaps just keep relatively quiet and enjoy the solitude! I sometimes wonder how different our ideas of the Sierra are, depending upon when we are out and about as more or more than where we go.
In a spot like this one, the arrival of morning light is a highly dynamic thing — not at all a static or even slow-moving event. For example, here the light is raking across the foreground granite slab the tilts down from left to right, at the angle of the light is only briefly ideal to light the trees without also lighting the granite. The whole transition from first light on tree tops to a bit too much on the granite might take little more than a minute.

In the Negev Desert, which is a stone desert in Southern Israel, you have a part, with different coloured canyons, the Pink canyon, the Red canyon, the White canyon, some of them in Timna, where you also find the ruins of the place where King Solomon had his copper mines.
It is an awesome place, hot and silent, with some of the strangest rock-formations I ever photographed.
It was quite a climb down, with all our equipment, it was out of season, we were by ourselves and one evening, the sun, as usual, dropped down quickly, taking with it the warmth, we had waited for the sweet light and on our return almost got lost.
It is a fabulous environment, bright light and deep shadows, again what hits me is the absolute silence, the beauty and the sense of the deeper you go, the more you go back in time, a feeling of eternity came over me...
From jagged, dark granite to the softer coloured sandstone and limestone, these distinctions offer a delightful picture of the desert terrain.
To see them go to the previous separate
Have a lovely day and thank for your visit, M, (*_*)

This is one of the pictures you are not sure whether people will like. The purpose is to show the amazing set of colors a limited amount of terrain may provide. The subject is the big pile of sand one may see there. I was amazed by the colors available here and luckily taken from a moving train following the path of the former mines called Rio Tinto
