I try to make it less than and inch with negative space, but, that can not show the perspective I wanted to show here. Sorry folks.
Establishing constant order promises security from unwanted surprises. The mind likes to generate a driving force that loves planning to gain such protection. The problem is that frequently plans back up, causing the brain to start preparing for the follow-up tasks while scheduled ones are yet to be completed – often ending with irritation and stress.
Though there isn’t much room for surprises when life follows a rigidly planned path, some still manage to sneak in with the best of plans.
And it is precisely these that call the plans into question, pulling the rug from under your feet and making you stagger.
Yet, in the end, it is the course of life driving us, and even if you can’t completely stop planning, in most cases, the excessive stress is not worth it. With that in mind, it becomes easier to enjoy the predictable at times because there is a good chance it won’t stay that way.
Two out of three breaths you take comes from the ocean..... According to the U.N Food and Agriculture Organization, 85 percent of global fish stocks are "overexploited, depleted or recovering from depletion." The UN has also predicted that global fisheries will have "totally collapsed by 2048." Our demand for ocean life on our plates will lead to a catastrophic future. The demand relies on your consumption. The future is in your hands.

built in 1965, the Uncertain-T was the brainchild of Steve Scott who built it based on a cartoon drawing a high-school friend made. It became a huge hit on the car show circuit for obvious reasons. The little hot rod was very cleverly engineered and is reportedly safe in private hands today although its exact whereabouts is known only to Scott and the current owner.
Sometimes it can happen that you don't really know where you are going in life. The important thing is to never lose heart, because in the end everything will be fine.
If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.

I suspect that this farmhouse has been abandoned for at least a year because I believe that the scaffolding has been in the same position for more than a year, perhaps even 2 years.
66023 seen at Seven Sisters brings in 6 MEA box wagons loaded with anthracite coal from Gwaun Cae Gurwen (via Swansea Burrows) for washing and blending at the Onllwyn plant (6B28). The train also comprises empty container wagons which will be loaded with coal for dispatch to Margam and ultimately Mossend. I gather from intelligence reports on Freightmaster that coal mining at Gwaun Cae Gurwen will cease next week. There will be further trains to bring in stockpiled coal, but I am not sure what this means for the future of the Onllwyn branch.
Penny, an almost 3-year-old snow leopard, cautiously walks through snow, experiencing it for the very first time in her habitat at the Barlin-Kahn Family Panda Trek area of the San Diego Zoo. While uncertain at first, Penny quickly decided she liked the cold, soft ground covering and made the decision to play—and play she did: climbing, jumping, running, sliding and rolling in the snow.
The snow was provided to the Zoo’s three snow leopards—Penny, Anna and Ramil—as a special enrichment item. Enrichment is important for the animals, as it keeps them stimulated and active, allowing them to show their natural behaviors.
Snow leopards are native to the cold, rugged mountains of central Asia. They are listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, primarily due to habitat loss and poaching. It is estimated that just 7,000 snow leopards exist in the wild. San Diego Zoo Global supports the Snow Leopard Trust, and the Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance, two organizations working to conserve these animals in their natural habitats.
Individuals can help the San Diego Zoo provide enrichment in various forms to its animals at both the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park by donating to the Zoo’s online Animal Care Wish List, at sandiegozoo.org/wishlist.

Today's afternoon following the previous day's groundstorms. Cropland, farms and big sky on the plains. Patches of flurries, haziness and wispy clouds throughout today as well. (The grain silo in the background is probably 60-100 ft tall)

Excerpt from www.gardinermuseum.on.ca/event/linda-rotua-sormin-uncerta...:
Linda Rotua Sormin: Uncertain Ground is the culmination of over 20 years of remarkable exploration and innovation, bringing together clay, sculpture, video, sound, hand-cut watercolour painting, and digital fabrication in a multi-sensory environment that asks how life in the modern, cosmopolitan city can coexist with memories and experiences of our ancestral traditions.
Raised in Canada and Thailand, artist Linda Rotua Sormin has emerged as a leading voice in sculpture with her fearless, monumental structures. Continually pushing clay beyond its limits, Sormin’s web-like forms burst through the boundaries of the medium, literally breaking apart and re-convening in new forms. Colonial artifacts, everyday kitsch, and fragments from the artist’s studio floor dangle and nestle within the latticework.
In her first solo museum exhibition and largest project to date, Sormin delves into her lineage among the Batak people of Sumatra in the Indonesian archipelago, exploring how images and ideas of her ancestors have, sometimes unwittingly, infused her artistic practice. She studied traditional Batak divination books, available to her only in European museum collections, with access strictly controlled, as well as the script and spoken language of her ancestors. Building on her research, Sormin weaves a rich family history of shamanic and other spiritual practices fragmented by colonialism, Christianization, and diaspora.
The exhibition unfolds on three levels: a central raised platform evokes a volcanic lake with an underworld of mythical beasts and coded divination texts; a tangle of precarious ceramic sculptures suggests an earthly middle ground inhabited by humans; and a suspended projection screen references a celestial realm of spirits and birds. The result is an environment that feels alive and in motion, offering audiences an encounter that is both visceral and contemplative.
