We are all crazy people who marvel that we live in a gravitational well called Earth, shrouded into a barely breathable atmosphere and encircling a gravitational nuclear explosion.
And when we leave, do we really leave?
And did we really were?
Happy World Photography Day!
Can you believe there is another world located below the surface of the water, one that is full of life. There is an abundance of life, Dolphins, Manatees, Sting Rays, and crabs to just name a few. While this young man is simply looking for one fish.
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

World Elephant Day has been celebrated every August 12th since 2012 to raise awareness for the need to protect and preserve elephants.
Elephants are an endangered species, and the animal’s population has shrunk significantly over the past few decades. For example, in Africa, there are only about 415,000 elephants remaining; in 1989, there were 600,000, and in 1979, there were 1.3 million. Many factors have contributed to population decrease, but one of the most significant is poaching. Poachers in Africa have illegally killed an estimated 110,000 elephants over the past decade - about one quarter of what Africa’s elephant population was 10 years ago.
This photo was taken in the Amboseli National Park which holds a large population.
Ohne Bienen kein Leben. Was so einfach klingt, ist vielen Menschen gar nicht bewusst. Mehr als 75 Prozent der Nahrungsmittelpflanzen weltweit sind von der Bestäubung durch Bienen abhängig. Ein Aussterben der Insekten hätte schlimme Folgen auch für die Menschheit. Heute ist "Internationaler Weltbienentag" - an dem nicht nur die Vereinten Nationen auf mehr Schutz für die Bienen dringen.
In 2015 the bees are still dying in masses. Which at first seems not very important until you realize that one third of all food humans consume would disappear with them. Millions could starve. The foes bees face are truly horrifying – some are a direct consequence of human greed. We need to help our small buzzing friends or we will face extremely unpleasant consequences.
Without bees we cannot survive! We all need to wake up and do something against the destruction of their habitat.
We had a rather bleak approach to Ushguli which is listed as a UNESCO world heriitage site. Currently, heavy road work is under way to improve Ushguli's connection. After finishing, it will be a piece of cake to come here for every tourist arriving by car.
Dresden's Elbtal lost its world heritage status for a comparably intrusive infrastructure project. I haven't heard of a similar discussion going on for Ushguli.

Giornata internazionale dell'ambiente
Ho scelto questa bottiglia di plastica buttata negligentemente in acqua per denuncia:
sono tante le "piccole" cose che ognuno di noi può fare per l'ambiente.
Non possiamo chiedere ai governi di fare qualcosa per il futuro del nostro pianeta se poi noi per primi ci comportiamo male ...

BMW Welt (English – BMW World), is a multi-functional customer experience and exhibition facility of the BMW AG, located in Munich, Germany. In direct proximity to the BMW Headquarters and the Olympiapark, it is designed to present the current products of BMW, be a distribution center for BMW cars, and offer an event forum and a conference center.
Design and Construction:
In 2001 an international architectural design competition was sponsored by BMW AG. Twenty-seven offices participated in the competition four of which were awarded prizes. The jury awarded two offices Sauerbruch Hutton and COOP HIMMELB(L)AU first prize and made the recommendation for the competitors to rework their design submissions in a third design phase in order for BMW to determine which office would be awarded the contract.
The contract was awarded to the Vienna-based architects COOP HIMMELB(L)AU and the facility was constructed from August 2003 through summer 2007 at a cost of US$200 million. Originally conceived to be open and ready for World Cup 2006, it eventually opened on October 17, 2007, and deliveries commenced on October 23, 2007. The first customer to take European delivery of a new BMW at the Welt was Jonathan Spira. There were 2,200,000 visitors during the first 12 months of operation. The number of visitors increased to 2,930,000 in 2013, of which 60% came from Germany.
Designed with an 800 kW solar plant on its roof, "the building does not have the boredom of a hall, it is not only a temple, but also a market place and a communication center and meeting place for knowledge transfer", said architect Prix at the opening ceremony.

Ce site de 80 hectares aménagé en espace de loisirs par la Communauté Urbaine de Dunkerque au début des années 70 propose en fait deux plans d'eau, qui constituent un relais migratoire important pour plusieurs espèces migratoires.
Malheureusement, la balade n'est pas particulièrement jouissive, les nuisances sonores apportées par l'autoroute Lille-Dunkerque qui longe le site rompant très rapidement le charme...

This 80-ha spot, layed out as a leisure center by the Dunkerque City Council at the beginning of the 70ies, offers two ponds which are important for some birds migratory flows. Apart from that, a stroll around is not particularly brilliant, with all the charm-breaking noise pollution coming from the motorway nearby...

31st May 2023 - World Otter Day
Taken from a recent trip to The Isle of Mull.
World Otter Day occurs on the last Wednesday of May, which is May 31 this year. Otters are beautiful, playful animals that live in wetlands across the world. Species are declining due to habitat destruction, reduction of prey, roadkill, and illegal trade for fur and as pets. There are 13 different species, 12 of which are disappearing. Seven of these species are classified as vulnerable and five are endangered. The International Otter Survival Fund founded World Otter Day with two goals in mind. First, to help raise awareness of the dangers that otters face. Second, to educate people on how to protect their habitats.

This old wooden, cracked and sun beaten, faded globe sits in a window of the Bodie Schoolhouse. It looks out over what remains of the ghost town, of which a part is reflected in the window glass.
Seems kind of fitting with what's going on in the world.

Körperwelten sind seit 1996 bestehende Wanderausstellungen plastinierter, überwiegend menschlicher Körper. Initiator der Ausstellungen ist der Anatom Gunther von Hagens. Die Ausstellungen sind auf Grund der Exponate umstritten.
Verfahren:
Das Verfahren läuft prinzipiell in vier Stufen ab:
Der erste Schritt ist die Fixierung in Formalin oder farberhaltenden Zubereitungen, welche das Gewebe stabilisieren und dadurch die Schrumpfung minimieren. Außerdem verhindert die Fixierung den Zerfall des Gewebes bei einer eventuell erforderlichen Präparation. Diese dient zur Freilegung und damit Darstellung bestimmter Strukturen mit Skalpell und Pinzette. Präparate für die („primäre“) Scheibenplastination werden jetzt auf einer Bandsäge oder mit einer anderen Schneidemaschine zerschnitten.
Bei dem sich anschließenden Gefrieraustausch und der Entfettung wird dem Präparat in einem −25 °C kalten Aceton-Bad das Gewebewasser entzogen. Das Wasser gefriert, das Aceton löst erst das Wasser, dann gegebenenfalls bei Raumtemperatur das Fett heraus. Bei Bedarf wird noch gründlicher mit Dichlormethan entfettet, welches einen höheren Dampfdruck als Aceton hat. Wasser und Fett sind nun durch Aceton ersetzt.
Der dritte Schritt und der eigentliche Kern der Plastination ist die forcierte Imprägnierung. Hierbei wird das Präparat in einer Kunststofflösung unter Vakuum gesetzt. Durch den hohen Dampfdruck beginnt das Aceton zu sieden und „perlt“ aus dem Präparat heraus. Dadurch entsteht ein Volumendefizit, sodass das gleiche Volumen an Kunststoff ins Gewebe hineingesaugt wird. Das Präparat ist danach vollkommen mit Kunststoff durchtränkt und wird eventuell in die anatomisch richtige Stellung gebracht.
Der letzte Schritt ist die Härtung. Die Kunststoffe werden jetzt je nach Kunststoffart durch Wärme, UV-Licht oder gasförmigen Härter auspolymerisiert. Bei der „sekundären Scheibenplastination“ wie auch bei der „Tissue Tracing Technique“ erfolgen entscheidende Bearbeitungsschritte nach Abschluss der Härtung. Komplett plastinierte Körperteile, dicke Scheiben oder Blöcke werden bei der sekundären Scheibenplastination in dünne parallele Scheiben geschnitten oder bei der Tissue Tracing Technique gezielt so geschliffen und zugeschnitten, dass anatomische Strukturen in Scheibenplastinaten verfolgt werden können.
Body Worlds (German title: Körperwelten) is a traveling exposition of preserved human bodies and body parts. In this exhibit what is enticed to see are real skinned humans and other anatomical structures of the body that have gone through the process of plastination. Plastination is “a process in which unite subtle anatomy and modern polymer chemistry.”Plastination is a process that a German man named Gunther Von Hagens created in the late 70’s in which the body is preserved to keep it from decaying.
Process:
There are four steps in the standard process of plastination: fixation, dehydration, forced impregnation in a vacuum, and hardening. Water and lipid tissues are replaced by curable polymers. Curable polymers used by plastination include silicone, epoxy and polyester-copolymer.
The first step of plastination is fixation. Fixation, frequently utilizing a formaldehyde based solution, serves two functions. Dissecting the specimen to show specific anatomical elements can be time consuming. Formaldehyde or other preserving solutions help prevent decomposition of the tissues. They may also confer a degree of rigidity. This can be beneficial in maintaining the shape or arrangement of a specimen. A stomach might be inflated or a leg bent at the knee for example.
After any necessary dissections have taken place, the specimen is then placed in a bath of acetone. Under freezing conditions, the acetone draws out all the water and replaces it inside the cells.
In the third step, the specimen is then placed in a bath of liquid polymer, such as silicone rubber, polyester or epoxy resin. By creating a vacuum, the acetone is made to boil at a low temperature. As the acetone vaporizes and leaves the cells, it draws the liquid polymer in behind it, leaving a cell filled with liquid plastic.
The plastic must then be cured with gas, heat, or ultraviolet light, in order to harden it.
A specimen can be anything from a full human body to a small piece of an animal organ, and they are known as 'plastinates'.[citation needed] Once plastinated, the specimens and bodies are further manipulated and positioned prior to curing (hardening) of the polymer chains.
