Roughly 8.5 x 11 inches. I was thinking a bit about the work of Hooded Fang when I collaged in the guy working at the bank of machines that control our lives.
Life.. has betrayed me once again
I accept that some things will never change.
I've let your tiny minds magnify my agony
and it's left me with a chemical dependency for sanity.
Yes, I am falling... how much longer 'till I hit the ground?
I can't tell you why I'm breaking down.
Do you wonder why I prefer to be alone?
Have I really lost control?
I'm coming to an end,
I've realized what I could have been.
I can't sleep so I take a breath and hide behind my bravest mask,
I admit I've lost control
Lost control...
I was driving from Jacksonville Florida to Lake City Florida when I came across a section of Pine forest that had recently undergone a controlled burn. I'm not sure I caught the image the way i wanted. I didn't have a tripod with me so you loose some detail in the pines in the background where i think the picture really is.
Here is a good example of how digital electronics has now taken over the operating systems of these facilities. They can monitor all the data relating to the radio telescope and monitoring signals from space, and require so much less space than the old analogue units. The efficiency gains are obvious, but they'll never look as good as the old school electronic equipment.
Hit 'L' to view on large.
A revisit to this abandoned Coking plant on our doorstep. As my friends hadn't been without being seen and escorted out and I've been twice before, I agreed to go back and glad I did as I saw things I had never seen before. Visited with Wiffsmiff23 and Martyn.

Wildlife Control vehicle in Park Slope Brooklyn. newyorkdailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/03/wildlife-control.html
The winding house controlled the descent of narrow-gauge wagons loaded with slate. Their weight hauled up empty wagons on the adjacent track. Each group of wagons was attached to one of the cables you can see on the winding drum.
The brakesman, based in the hut alongside of the winding house, regulated the speed carefully. On occasions when a winding-drum brake failed, the laden wagons rushed down the slope and the empty ones approached the top so quickly they were hoisted onto the drum. Much damage was done, sometimes causing injury or death.

Just a few minutes after separation from its Vega launcher on 23 June, the Sentinel-2A satellite automatically activated its solar array and transmitter, oriented itself into an Earth-pointing mode, and started transmitting 'telemetry' – onboard status signals – to the ground.
Receipt of these first crucial data from the new mission marked the start of an intensive phase in the Main Control Room at ESOC, ESA's operations centre, Darmstadt, Germany.
For the next several days, an extended team of spacecraft engineers, systems specialists, flight dynamics experts and ground station technicians will shepherd Sentinel-2A through 'LEOP' – the launch and early orbit phase.
They will work around the clock to activate crucial systems and ensure the spacecraft’s health in the extreme environment of space. For Sentinel-2A, these will include release of the payload shutter lock, first transition to the nominal mode of operations and the first orbital manoeuvre – a burn using the spacecraft's thrusters – that is planned around 51 hours into the mission.
LEOP is also the first time that the mission operations team gets to work with the satellite in the real environment of space; despite the best preparations, unforeseen problems and challenges often arise that must be solved in real time by teams working and thinking on their feet.
As Europe's centre of excellence for satellite operation, ESOC is home to the engineering teams that control spacecraft in orbit, manage our global tracking station network, and design and build the systems on the ground that support missions in space. Since 1967, over 100 satellites belonging to ESA and its partners have been successfully flown from Darmstadt, Germany.

Robyn and I first connected on Model Mayhem. I still use that site sometimes but it has little value anymore (at least to me). Anyway, once Robyn and I started talking about a photo session, it took a while to pull it all together mostly because of unpredictable wook schedules. But it was defintely worth the effort.
Robyn loved this dance/blur/motion style image I always try to explore. I wish we could have shot again after tnis to be able to do more of this style.

Hojas, contraluz
solitarias noches
a veces alucino
con la sencillez
de la naturaleza
y lo enrevesado
de la mente
humana, empeñada
como un crio
en hacer...
los brillos
las sombras
las luces
y los destellos
los instantes
los caminos
la fauna,
el gremio,
la tormenta y
la música
Manif fonction publique 22 mars 2018
Grosse mobilisation à Lyon !
15.000 manifestants
Demontration in Lyon, France, to maintain our public services - against government's laws.
French people protesting against upcoming reforms bad for the quality of public services. As a result of those reforms, criteria of public service begin to give way to those of profitability. Our state services in France (heath, school, railway...) are among the best services in the world. But all the reforms impulsed by the government aim to slowly replace this very efficient public sector (open to everybody) by a private sector only focussed on financial gains. State-based social services and welfare entitlements are cut back or replaced by market-based provisions available only to those who can afford to pay.
On March 22, hundreds of thousands of nurses, teachers and other public sector workers joined forces to march against French President Emmanuel Macron’s reforms all over the country yesterday.
Estimates of the numbers of those joining rallies held in some 140 locations across the country vary between 323,000 (the ‘official’ tally) and 500,000, the figure issued by the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT), one of the principal trade union organiser of the action.
