Did some rework on a old photo i took in the summer- www.urbantoronto.ca/news/2014/10/urbanations-q3-results-s...
I took an hour today to drive out north of town to track down a little-known but very important facility critical to timekeeping in the USA.
WWVB is a time signal radio station near Fort Collins, Colorado and is operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The station relies on extremely precise atomic clocks for the accuracy of the time signals. It sends out signals that allow millions of clocks and watches to be set either manually or automatically.
WWVB continuously broadcasts digital time codes, using very long electromagnetic waves at a frequency of 60 kilohertz, which are automatically received by timekeeping devices in North America, keeping them accurate to a fraction of a second. In 2011, NIST estimated the number of radio clocks and wristwatches equipped with a WWVB receiver at over 50 million.
Some argue the terrestrial time signal have been rendered obsolete by the government’s Global Positioning System, whose satellites also transmit time signals, but users disagree, noting GPS devices must have an unobstructed view of a number of satellites in space to properly function. Sixty kilohertz permeates in a way GPS can’t. WWVB’s very low frequency signal can be received inside buildings and it is an important backup to GPS in case adversaries attempt to interfere with the satellite radio-navigation system.
The broadcast is on a number of shortwave frequencies, meaning their signals can be received globally.

The Atomic Bomb Dome (Genbaku Dome) in Peace Memorial Park at Hiroshima, Japan, is the former Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall (1915) destroyed during the August 1945 bombing.

It seems I'm more of a night time photographer after all :). I tried to find an interesting angle during the day but in the end the place seemed a lot more interesting after the sun had sunk below the horizon.
やっぱり夜の写真家かもしれません、私。昼の間に写真を撮ってみたですが、日没後、原爆ドームと周りのエリアはもっと面白くなると思いました。

So, I looked up Atomic Skull to make the middle version, and as usual suddenly I had two more versions. Enjoy.

By the year 2000 scientists predict that many people will live in off world atomic powered Robocities.

.....1824 days since the explosions at Fukushima, Japan. It took 10 days to "cap" the single meltdown at Chernobyl. There were 3 meltdowns at Fukushima.... and little hope of ever finding the molten cores, much less protecting the environment from their lethal invisible contamination. youtu.be/9k3Ofs6R9cg

AFTER SELLING OFF THE A.S. HELICHOPPER TO A PRIVATE SOURCE... WWW3. HAS SINCE MOVED ON DECLARING THAT HE WILL BE THE FIRST TO ENTER THE COSMOS. WITH HIS TRUSTED PROFESSOR, Dr. S. BOTIXX. THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO BUILD THE FIRST ATOMIC STEAM POWERED ROCKET. CAPTAINED BY THERE TRUSTED MONKEY N. NOODLES. THEY ARE DETERMINED TO ENTER THE UNKNOWN. AND PROVE THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE
( on another note I just wanted to apologize for the earlier pic mixup. and thank you who had favd.. still getting used to this stupid f****** new app thx flickr
This is a video about the end of the world! It's actually quite upbeat! I wrote the music and used clips from the internet
