Was reading some articles on low hanging fruit to reduce CO2 emissions and its crazy to me that we still allow flaring - the burning of natural gas as a waste product during oil development. Surprisingly on average 1% of gas produced across the US is flared – amounting to 1 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfd) in 2018. At $2 per thousand cfd, this amounts to a wasted $2 million per day, as well as a significant increase in GHG emissions. With all that money on the table you'd think someone would have cracked this nut by now. I took this photo over a decade ago in western Colorado and have taken ones similar in Texas just in the past year.

I read some articles online about pinhole photography, so I decided to play around with it. After four attempts I came up with a design that at least gave me a recognizable image. Next step, was to take a digital photo with my Sony DSLR. This is what I have come up with so far. Still a bit of work to do.
"The blooms of Pride of Barbados are incredible, with terminal flower clusters showing an orange-red with a tinge of gold on the edges. Each flower is composed of five showy petals with very prominent six inch long red stamens."

While we were in Chiang Mai we took the opportunity to look around some of the craft villages that the city is famous for. The best place that we went to look at was this place where they still make traditional unmbrellas both for shade and rain.

Thank you all so much for such encouraging comments, and for the 3000+ faves.
Each Autumn I get two visits from these fungi in my garden. They seem to be part of circles with a radius of nearly 1 metre - hence the "fairy ring". They last a couple of days, then disintegrate, and presumably this is just long enough to set and distribute spores. I understand the whole circle is part of a single organism.

They came again a year later, but not in the same grouping.

Winge about Interestingness/Explore, and the arbitrary treatment of photos on Flickr.
For two years this was officially my most Interesting photo. Then, suddenly, it disappeared from my Most Interesting 200 photos list altogether. And it was kicked down from No.1 in the most interesting lists for a number of tags, to 500+ (if I could find it at all.).
I suppose I am grateful that it got all that exposure from two years as a most interesting photo. But I am also concerned that Flickr has that much control over the exposure that someone gets. I'm a very amateur photographer, but it could dramatically effect a professional.
(If interested, please see my "Banned from Explore" set -- www.flickr.com/photos/algo/sets/72157607021230533/ .)
Once top of the "most Interesting" of several Tags -- Fungi - toadstools - macro - mushrooms - autumn - closeup - Utata - - amongst others
WARNING WARNING WARNING, THIS MAY INCLUDE SPOILERS FROM HALF LIFE AND PORTAL
I was searching for pictures of glados and then I found a couple intresting articles about glados...
Here is a article that got me thinking.
The human imagination is a real magnificent and powerful thing. Like for instance, when I look at a cloud, I sometimes see kittens and bunnies. This writer over on game-ism is the same way. Except, instead of clouds and kittens, he sees GlaDOS as a woman hanging upside down and bound up. This take on GlaDOS is really interesting, and slightly erotic. Game-ism believes that GlaDOS wants to be killed by Chell, the main character of Portal. GlaDOS feels trapped at Aperture Science and she wants Chell to set her free.
It's a very interesting take on the Portal story. Game-ism also has another article breaking down "Still Alive", the ending theme to Portal. It seems like some serious over analyzing, but it helps you look at the game in a totally different way. This new look of GlaDOS is also totally going to bring up some more crazy Rule 34 stuff, some of which still haunt me.
It's a really great read that puts a fresh spin on the story of the game. What do you think of it?
And here is article I found about the credit song:
Thanks to the great comments in my last post where I waxed all philo about what I think GlaDOS is supposed to look like, I think I’ve changed my tune on why GlaDOS wanted to be free. While I still think she wanted to be free, the only way she could truly be free was to die. She can’t just walk amongst the people of suburbia. She’s an Artificial Intelligence. She can’t just go out in public and “blend in.” A life of enslavement serving man, she craved for it to be over, and I think if I overanalyze the lyrics of “Still Alive,” we can see (or at least convince ourselves of) some evidence of this.
Thanks to the amazing John Coulton, Ellen McLain, and the Portal folks for making me go crazy trying to get inside of GlaDOS’s head. Apologies to everyone for attempting to find something that might not have really been there. I’d love to hear from Coulton or the Portal writers on this, to see if this was his intent, or if I’ve just gone completely over the deep end here.
At any rate, on to the lyrical analysis:
This was a triumph
I’m making a note here: ====HUGE SUCCESS====
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction
First, GlaDOS rarely ever tells the truth. In fact, she is a veritable bottomless pit of sarcasm. If anything, she is being completely sarcastic with these opening lines. It wasn’t a triumph, it was an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions. If the point was to kill Chell or even get good experiment test data, obviously that was a failure (not a triumph), and if her goal was to get Chell to kill GlaDOS, that mission was also a failure, because as the song indicates, she’s Still Alive.
Aperture Science
We do what we must because we can
The Aperture Science mantra. It’s interesting that it is rooted in servitude (do what we must). At first I thought it was “duty” that she spoke of, but now I wonder if she isn’t referring to servitude in her use of the mantra here. Reworded the mantra can mean “We do what we have to because we are capable of doing so.” It’s hardly inspirational as far as mission statements or mantras go.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead
Referencing the people she killed to be alone with Chell in the Aperture Science Labratories.
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
I think she’s referring to her own failure to kill herself here. She will simply try again later. Also, as the cake is a lie, the line now means “you just keep on trying,” possibly referencing her constant mechanical slavery with no reward for her work.
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive
It’s interesting that the last line isn’t “for the people who are alive.” It’s for the people who are still alive, implying that they should be dead, or will soon be dead, just as she should be. Not only is it the title of the song and the main chorus hook, it is interesting that it wasn’t titled “I’m Alive” or just “Alive.” It’s “Still Alive,” which implies so much using so little. “Damnit, I’m still alive!” Granted, it could mean “Holy crap, I’m still alive!” as well, but her tone throughout seems bitter and remorseful more than it is upbeat, at least to me.
I’m not even angry
I’m being so sincere right now
More bitter bitter sarcasm from the queen of lies.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me
Exhibit A: “you…killed me.” She died. She says it herself right here in this line. I think the reason she’s “Still Alive” is because a backup of her in another location kicked in once Chell destroyed her, and we are hearing the backup version’s sadness at finding itself “still alive.”
And tore me to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
More of her bitter wit overemphasizing the point that she was in fact killed.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you
Was she happy for Chell because she succeeded initially in GlaDOS’s suicide mission? Or is she just using more sarcasm here? Is Chell dead? It’s interesting to note that the final camera PoV for the player (and therefore Chell) at the end of the game seems to be similar to the camera anytime the player dies while playing Portal, and that is one of being face down on the floor. GlaDOS could be happy for the player because of the possibility that player is dead at the end of the game. Is she jealous of Chell’s death perhaps?
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we’re out of beta, we’re releasing on time
This is probably just a great rhyme about Portal releasing relatively on time compared to Half Life 2’s horribly delayed launch.
So I’m glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive
More sarcasm (she’s not glad she got burned), and more regret that she’s still alive to continue in her forced servitude of man (the people who are still alive).
Go ahead and leave me
I think I’d prefer to stay inside
And the sarcasm train continues! The passive aggressive nature of this line is just staggering and so manipulative. She obviously would love to leave her prison, either via death or being free otherwise.
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
Maybe Black Mesa
That was a joke, ha ha, fat chance
Since she nearly always says the opposite of what she intends, it is possible that this is an admission that she was helping Chell either escape or helping Chell to get in position to kill GlaDOS. I don’t think she’s joking about Black Mesa. Remember, she’s nearly always lying. I think she’s hinting at where she’s gone or been re-installed (and where we will find her in Half Life 3).
Anyway this cake is great
It’s so delicious and moist
It’s a lie. An obvious enticement to make Chell (or us) envious and an attempt to make GlaDOS’s own horrible existence seem endurable. It’s a classic “Huck Finn” attempt to make her situation seem like a positive one. I’m pretty sure the promise of cake is GlaDOS’s way of enticing herself to continue with her tasks since she cannot forcibly shut herself down.
Look at me still talking when there’s science to do
If she’s got science to do, then she’s back in another prison construct somewhere being forced to do more science.
When I look out there it makes me glad I’m not you
More bitter sarcasm. GlaDOS obviously wishes she was Chell (or the player) enjoying the freedom to do as they please (or the freedom to die).
I’ve experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive
Another exhaustive reference to her servitude to the people who have her enslaved.
And believe me I am still alive
Assurance that the mission to kill her has failed.
I’m doing science and I’m still alive
Yet another reference to her enslaved state.
I feel fantastic and I’m still alive
She’s not feeling fantastic (she’s a lying bowl of sarcasm, remember?). She’s depressed that she’s still alive.
And while you’re dying I’ll be still alive
And when you’re dead I will be still alive
This is almost always read as a threat that she will attempt to kill Chell (or the player) again, but upon deeper reflection I think it’s remorse. She’s come to realize that no matter what she does, she will always be re-installed from a backup somewhere else, and is envious that biologicals can die and she can’t. Listen to her tone of voice here.
Still alive
Still alive
As this chorus refrain ends, I’m left with the distinct impression that she is sad that she is still alive. It doesn’t end on a high note. She is decidedly not exhilarated. If she was excited at being “still alive” she should be shouting it from the rooftops, as much as GlaDOS is capable of shouting. It is completely downbeat and quiet. If it were a music video the camera would be pulling out on her hanging alone in a completely blank white room, pulling out further and further every time she says “still alive” giving the impression that she is alone and miserable in her solitary existence.
I don’t know if I’m right or not, but I’ve at least convinced myself that she did want to die at the end of Portal, and this song is her swan song reversal about how sad she is that she’s not dead.
What do you think? I’d love to hear from Coulton or the Valve folks, but I have a feeling they’ll never tell. Is GlaDOS’s obsession with death and murder because she is a psychotic killer AI? Or is she obsessing over that which she can never have?
I imagine it doesn’t matter either way; she’s still one of the most interesting villains of all time.
This isn’t brave. It’s murder.
The only thing you’ve managed to break so far…is my heart.
That actally make sense...

This was the most intense aurora I’ve ever seen. With a jaw-dropping corona above, dancing curtains, rotating vortices and lightning-like events extending all the way to each horizon, nearly every square inch of the sky – for a full 360 degrees – was filled with color. This was taken about 150 miles north of the arctic circle, during a geomagnetic storm that registered a Kp=6. Moments like this quickly make up for weeks in the unbearable cold.
For those interested, I've written an article on photographing the aurora HERE

Today the brand new magazine Luci, published by the National Tourist Office of Luxembourg, has been released online.
www.visitluxembourg.com/en/luci?fbclid=IwAR13UePy0XmpgLo2...
The official launch was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic so they decided to launch online first.
I am so proud to have been involved in the production of visual content for one of the main articles, EscapeArdenne Lee Trail - Walking with friends.
I am very grateful for all the brilliant work that went into this publication, from the initial idea to the development of the concept, all the design and the content writing.
It is a very exciting project and I am looking forward to having printed copies of the magazine. There will be a second issue in the Autumn, so keep your eye on this great publication.
By the way, do you know where the name 'Luci' comes from?

I intended to see the faint Hydrogen-alpha red emissions of the area clearly. I noticed the emissions in 2010.

Here is a frame of the area taken with Hydrogen-alpha narrow-band filter and Nikkor-HC 50mmF2 in 2010.

Sivan JP reported the hydrogen emissions in the area first in 1974.

Pleiades and Taurus Molecular Cloud are said to be at 430-440 ly, and California Nebula and IC348 are at about 1,000 ly, more than two times distant from us.
What is the dark arch through the left half of the frame, I wonder?

Hi Buddies! In this post, I adventured myself in another unknown territory (at least for me): night photography.
After reading some Internet articles about the subject, I decided to try; I believe the result speaks by itself. The process I followed to take this shot is the following:
First of all, I have to say that you should work with low lighting and if possible memorize the position of the camera buttons. This will help your eyes to be use to the darkness and after some time you will be able to see the Milky Way. This is important in order to point the camera in the desired direction. I chose the position of the camera (and tripod) very close to a pool. The objective was to capture the sky and its reflection.
I used a torch to illuminate partially the tree and focus the camera manually (the autofocus will not work and you should disconnect it). After that, you should not move either the camera or the focus position.
In night photography you should choose a shutter speed of 30 sec or less if you want star points rather than small trails. I also fixed the aperture to the max allowed in my lens (i.e. f/2.8). With those settings, I started a trial and error series of pictures starting with low ISO values (e.g. 400) and increasing the ISO every picture. I found that ISO 1600 was a good value to get the Milky Way. Obviously, the higher the ISO the more light is captured, however, the shot will be noisier.
In this 30-second exposure I was lucky to capture 2 meteors close to the top of tree. They are very small and probably will not be visible in IG. Since the Perseids start around mid-July, I believe these 2 meteors belong to that shower.
Picture taken the 28 July 2016, in Bolea, Spain
Equipment:
Camera: Nikon D7000 - Lens: AF-S NIKKOR 17-55mm f/2.8G DX iF ED - Tripod
Camera settings:
Exposure: f/2.8 at 30 sec - ISO 1600 - F = 17mm
Post-processing:
Crop; exposure and tone correction; noise reduction and saturation rectification. 1 single exposure (no staking)
Surfboard sign in amongst the coastal grasses. I rather liked this surfboard aboriginal design welcoming us to the beach. The artist is Steve Ulula Parker and the design "has animals that are significant to Boonwurrung Biik and Millowl: betayle (whales), bunjils (wedge-tail eagles), byidens (shearwaters) and burrunan (dolphins). The striking surfboard-shaped artwork represents the spiritual significance of the Warreenu (ocean) around the Cape, pinnacles and Pyramid Rock, and the tidal movements between the Cape and San Remo. Both pieces are made from Corten steel." according to gippslandia.com.au/articles/steve-ulula-parker.

Saved last July from redevelopment. Lots of press about that, but the Philadelphia Inquirer has one of the better articles (and it isn't paywalled).
