Another round of Arcade Gacha, another round of not getting on the Arcade-Sims.
But I went to the Seraphim-yardsale (maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Sea%20Whispers%20Island/12...) and got everything I wanted without having to rely on my capricious good fortune.

No idea what happened here. Mallard was quietly sitting few meters in front of me, cleaning his feathers. Coot was on the other side of river (around 40m), then started to move towards me. And finally launched attack on mallard and chased him some meters.
It was totally unexpected, but luckily I managed to press shutter and camera focused well :)

I love taking my family to the zoo, and the Memphis Zoo is a very good one. But I also confess some conflicted emotions. My first title for this photo was “prison bars”. But is that what it is? Are these harmless attractions, or an atrocity? I’m conflicted.
This is one shot. Taken in a room with mirrors on all sides with a single snooted strobe stuck with a camera mount to the upper part of the mirrors.
Strobist: Canon 430 EX in gridded snoot upper camera right at 1/64. Triggered with RF 602s.
As CP 9732 rolls into Clinton,IA from the north with a unit train of fuel oil, UP 8075 comes into town from the east after crossing the Mississippi River with a load of containers and intermodal trailers. The CP tracks have to cross both UP main lines to continue south so CP9732 was stopped for :30 min while the UP cleared both main lines of east and west traffic.
The purpose of the rally/march was to pressure President Trump to release his tax returns for transparency and to reveal likely conflicts of interest. Many are nervous that he will monetize the presidency.

longest and most forgotten war in American history.
According to the US Department of Defense, the total military expenditure in Afghanistan (from October 2001 until September 2019) was
780 Billion dollars!
What has been gained?
from 2016 to 2021 almost every second of the day, the media has been totally immersed in ANTI TRUMP or Pro TRUMP rhetoric ...
remember who started this WAR IN IRAQ/AFGHANISTAN
it wasn't TRUMP!
HATRED, ANGER, VENGENCE,
watching DT under a microscope................
The media forgot all about our troops..............
They forgot about the whole world.....................
The United States has been fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan since 2001. More than 2,400 U.S. military personnel have died in the conflict.
The Taliban will never surrender........
the media has lost immense sight of what is important
what is true
what is relevant
what is NEWS!

This was the view across Damascus in 2010 , just before the war had started. I wonder , what the view is there now !!. When will this insane & inhuman conflict end ??? When will the suffering of innocent civilians end ?? When will the Russians show some humanity & allow a respite in this most dreadful conflict ?????

Not the violent conflict
between parts of the truth,
but the quiet suppression
of half of it,
is the formidable evil;
there is always hope
when people are forced to listen
to both sides;
it is when they attend
only to one
that errors
harden into prejudices,
and truth itself ceases
to have the effect of truth.
John Stuart Mill

that despitefully use you....

I abandoned this challenge I started in the beginning of the year. But my conscience's been heavy lately about not finishing this task. So, yeah.. I'm picking it up... again. At least I'll say I accomplished something this year, right?
