The Déri Museum is one of Hungary’s foremost establishments of its kind. In addition to its exhibits of local cultural interest, it has become renowned for the huge collection of items, brought together by Frigyes Déri, which represents various aspects of universal human civilization.

Wall, South Dakota, is only 45 minutes or eight miles by rail from this point west of Cottonwood. Western South Dakota is one of those places that whether you're in a car doing 60 or a train doing 10, once you leave a town it seems to disappear quickly and the distance between towns seems to last forever.
The good weather is holding. Mrs. Orca and I are at home for the foreseeable future, but the cat has never been happier, and the yardbirds are very active. Soon I'll start spending more time taking photos, but lately I've been transitioning to work-from-home.
Recently in the yard, of note:
I saw the first rufous hummingbird of the year on March 18. For some reason I don't have good records on first-arrivals for them, but here is what I do have:
2018 April 3
2017 March 14
2016 March 3
I saw a pacific wren on March 20, the first since December.
I saw a ruby-crowned kinglet in the yard today, March 21, the first since November.
I haven't been looking carefully but I haven't noticed the sapsucker in several days, and I'm worried.
Note (3/22): I saw two golden crowned kinglets in the yard today, the first since December 8, 2019.
Note (3/23): I saw a house finch today, the first since December 6, 2019.

With its scheduled maintenance complete, Arcturus Outpost’s LL-928 Galaxy Explorer takes flight, to explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and new civilizations.
--- For this shot, I was trying to take the vibe from the box artwork with the ship zipping across a starry skied tan colored, planetoid surface and just give it a 2020’s sci-fi cinematic look and feel.

The Burj Khalifa is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. With a total height of 829.8 m (2,722 ft) and a roof height (excluding antenna) of 828 m (2,717 ft), the Burj Khalifa has been the tallest structure and building in the world since its topping out in late 2008.
A photo taken in the mountains of Styria of a house that stands all alone on a mountain top. It＇s a cool, foggy morning and the clouds are still quite thick.
... Now where did I park the car...?
It was fantastic trekking for multiple days in the Setesdalsheiane this summer! But... as you can see there was literally no place for my dSLR in my backpack... :-( Too big, too heavy (it was already 28 kg at the beginning of the trip... and I thought I had bought all lightweight camping equipment I could find by now :-) ). So I felt a bit 'naked' at times. But at least I had a compact camera with me, and this is just one exposure, so its RAW files are flexible enough. I missed the fine detail from my D810 in post though.

Centuries ago, an ancient civilization, now lost to the desert and the sands of time, thrived around an oasis. Historical records reveal that a catastrophic drought forced these people to abandon their homes.
In the last century, lost travelers stumbled upon this forsaken oasis, mysteriously finding one of the wells full and allowing them to survive. In time these travelers found other nomads and traders and made a secret market in the deep desert where people from disparate parts of their scattered clans can gather to trade and celebrate together.

Mondtore sind weit verbreitet in ganz China, vor allem in Gartenanlagen, aber auch im Bereich von Tempeln und Pagoden. Hier schweift der Blick hinaus in die Dünenfelder der "Singenden Sanddünen" (Mingsha Shan). Die Zivilisation endet hier, wo die Wüste Gobi beginnt.

Moon gates are quite common throughout China, especially in gardens, but also in the area of temples and pagodas. Here the view sweeps out into the dune fields of the "Singing Sand Dunes" (Mingsha Shan). Civilization ends here where the Gobi Desert begins.

Star trails cut short due to frost forming onto my lens but it's a great spot worth to revisit once night's are back.
Hell of a view, with no one to see it. We destroy nature for our own use, and then when we had enough of it, we just leave it there, scarred and suffering..

Prelude to a Civilization represents a giant white animal in profile against a blue-and-green ground, within whose body are stylized renderings of some forty animals, figures, masks, and abstract symbols. Brauner may have based this composition on the pictographic robes of the Plains Indians. Such a robe—fashioned of animal hide—records its warrior-owner's exploits in decorative inscriptions covering the surface. Although the creatures Brauner depicts resemble Mexican codex illustrations, they also seem to be purely imaginative, and evoke the art of both Paul Klee and Max Ernst. Brauner executed this work in encaustic, a technique in which paint is mixed with molten wax. Into the resulting hardened surface, the artist incised the figures with pen and ink. He had first employed this medium after he was forced to take refuge from World War II in the Pyrenees and was unable to obtain his usual working materials. Here, the overall effect suggests an ancient cave painting.
The Grand Gulch / Cedar Mesa area in Southeastern Utah is littered with old ruins of Ancient Pueblan dwellings and granaries. Many ancient cultures such as the Mayans and Ancient Pueblans succumbed to droughts, as we're seeing spread in Africa, China, and the Western U.S.. Some leading scientists are forecasting a crash in global human population to 500 million by the end of this century. We're seeing clear changes and acceleration now in places like Antarctica, the Arctic, and Greenland, and many of us will live to see them affect global economies and societies. The survival of our children, and their children, are the stakes.
Global scientific collaboration is starting to gain an understanding of how natural (climate) and human (deforestation. topsoil erosion, population) forces have shaped human history. This will help us more completely understand, and hopefully influence, our future.
Projects such as the Integrated History of People on Earth (IHOPE), International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP), and the American Quaternary Association (AMQUA, devoted to studying all aspects of the Quaternary Period, the last 2 million years of Earth history) promise to give us the knowledge and tools to make more informed decisions about our future.
After 20+ years of largely ignoring the evidence (such as presented in the watered-down government-reviewed IPCC reports), we may no longer have the luxury of being able to wait and see what happens before our fate will be decided for us.
