A wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends finished off by a marvelous double rainbow on the way home. “In Chinese culture
Double rainbows carry profound meaning in eastern cultures, symbolizing transformation, according to the website Basic Feng Shui. The material world is represented by the first arc, while the second arc is the spiritual realm. The were so many people pulled over to the side of the freeway taking photos!
Here's hoping your Thanksgiving was terrific!
Alternating Current transformers share the stage with a Honey Locust tree transforming to winter mode. Utah County, Utah.
In almost no time at all after the wetting rains the landscape transformed into a vivid green cover of grass which with continued rains grew over the month to over waist height. The intensity of the green seemed quite unreal.
Just thought I'd give you a little peak behind the curtain. It's quite a process. Maybe one day I'll do a makeover video.
First comes thought; then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans; then transformation of those plans into reality. The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.
Khareef in Salalah is nature’s dramatic transformation—where desert turns into rainforest, and misty magic fills the air. It’s Oman’s monsoon miracle, and it’s breathtaking.
During Khareef season, from late June to early September, Salalah becomes a lush, emerald paradise unlike anywhere else in the Arabian Peninsula.
It's almost unreal that it's the same dog, but if you don't believe me, here is a video that will show you the whole process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xg2G_oINqc

Giles Gilbert Scott was the principle architect of Battersea Power Station. Much later Frank Gehry set out this transformation and reuse of this icon of South London.
This seen in 2019.
Gilbert Scott also designed the K6 telephone box (1935).

Always wanted to capture this place during sunrise or rather I should when the place is empty. Otherwise this is most busy place in entire Singapore flooded by tourists.
In year 2010, Singapore is going to introduce new international attraction SANDS and the world is looking forward to it.
It was very clear dawn and moon was still visible while sun has just started emitting its red rays.

Kathakali artist "Kalamandalam Gopi" making up for a Kathakali.
Kathakali (Malayalam: കഥകളി, Sanskrit: कथाकेळिः) is a highly stylized classical Indian dance-drama noted for the attractive make-up of characters, elaborate costumes, detailed gestures and well-defined body movements presented in tune with the anchor playback music and complementary percussion. It originated in the country's present day state of Kerala during the 17th century and has developed over the years with improved looks, refined gestures and added themes besides more ornate singing and precise drumming. - Wikipedia
Hope you like the picture. Thanks for visiting. Have a great day.
I don't know how many of y'all saw the old Transformation Station at SWF, but it had gotten a bit dated. So I asked for approval to update it, got approval, and went to werk!
BEHOLD: the brand new SWF Transformation Station -- for all your chill vibe underwater changing needs.
We do not allow full nudity/visible genitalia on ground level of the sim, including in the sandbox. Many people come to the sandbox to change outfits though, and in theory that's ok, we'd just prefer to not have peoples' bits out when pretty much anyone could be passing by.
Having said that, I do hereby decree that if you want a place to change and like doing so at SWF, you may do so fully in the Transformation Station. It's more out of the way and is *meant* for changing, so I think it's okay there if you need to be nekkid for a sec to fully get your look on point. I rezzed privacy screens if you do want to be modest, but do as you will, within reason. <.<
Enough yammerin'. Have a look, if you wanna:

For most of the year, the ocotillo looks like a pile of dead sticks. But when the plant flowers, the desert brightens considerably. Seen in Saguaro National Park.
I always like to feature classic Aussie pubs, many are totally iconic with our climate, history and lifestyle. Then there are others, like houses that for a time probably in the 60's to '80's period that underwent certain rebuilding that was not restoration as such and certainly not in style with the original architecture and fabric of the building.
This one, in the small Atherton Tableland town of Tolga is an example of how the best of intentions can go awry, especially over time. I note that it is what I call an equal opportunity pub too, advertising and selling both major mainstream brands of beer, the home grown XXXX (Fourex) from Brisbane and Great Northern which had its roots in Cairns in 1927 but is now owned and brewed by Carlton United in Yatala south of Brisbane.
Without being disparaging to the owners and modernisation, I do note those modern sliding and casement windows that were typically installed during the period I mentioned and some probable upgrading to the weatherboards. You can't really knock the use of solar panels these days but they do sort of cramp the style of the old corrugated iron roof. The pretty horrible besser block addition on the left is also typical of upgrades of the period. You can just see some of the fabric of the original verandah architecture with those doors on the first floor leading no doubt to what would have been and maybe still are bedrooms. Reversing all of this in a sensitive restoration would no doubt be an extremely expensive job. Note the rather temporary high visibility "gate" on the drive in, or drive through ("thru") bottle shop on the right.
Nevertheless, the place looks clean and smart, befitting this small rural and agricultural town. The pub no doubt caters more to locals than tourists in this particular location.
Whatever my personal tastes, a few small businesses in town are making a real go of it in a tough climate, we had a lovely coffee in a small cafe across the road that was really designed for locals. As is the pub of course.
Using the treetops as an obstruction, I was aiming for the sunstar to be less intense. Having to hand-hold the camera down low and the lack of an articulated LCD made it quite hard to compose. The result could definitely be worse, so complain I shall not. :)

The Moonee Ponds Creek between Strathmore and Pascoe Vale, Victoria
This is a story of the slow transformation of one of Melbourne's waterways, the Moonee Ponds Creek in the northern suburbs.
Much of the creek was concreted during the construction of the Tullamarine Freeway in the 1960s and simply became a large and pretty ugly drain, a far cry from the lovely preexisting natural environment.
Pressure from the local community over a number oif years led to Melbourne Water working with the community to restore a part of the creek to a more natural environment over the last 18 months and this photo shows the interface between the old and the new.
My local Rotary club (to which I belong) organised an Australia Day walk along the creek to showcase this and we were truly amazed at the transformation!
In a period with not a lot of good news around, it is relatively small things like this which restore some sense of hope.
