“The cost of housing migrants in Britain has tripled to £4 million (€4.7 million) a day, according to The Telegraph.”

The Bible says that the antichrists kingdom will be a mixture of people who will not remain united. What we are seeing in Europe is Bible prophecy in action. The Bible also says that God will send the people a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie. Definitely, there are a lot of zombie-like people walking around these days.
Luke 14:28 “For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it?”
The tower of multiculturalism was sold to Canada by whom?
“Trudeau (Justin Trudeau’s daddy) claimed that there was no official Canadian culture and that no ethnic group should take precedence.” –Maclean’s
“There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada,” (Justin) Trudeau said, concluding that he sees Canada as “the first post-national state.” –Toronto Sun
Under Justin Trudeau’s daddy, Canada became the first country in the world to introduce a multiculturalism policy. This policy laid the groundwork for the Canadian Multiculturalism Act of 1988. “It was the sort of stance that former Tory prime minister John Diefenbaker could embrace, as he did when his government passed the Bill of Rights in 1960.” Later came the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This charter gave judges the power to veto legislation. How democratic! This charter was just a scam to push through a bunch of new world order junk, which under the old system would have taken much more time to push through! Though the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has greatly sped up the demise of Canada, most Canadians praise it.
1930 Mercedes Benz 710 SSK Roadster with body designed by it's 2nd most famous owner, Count Carlo Felice Trossi, a well known aristocratic Italian sportsman, and restored by currant owner, Ralph Lauren. It was driven heavily in competition from the start until the early 50s it remains simply the Count Trossi for which it is very famous world wide. The following is taken from the restoration companies home site, Paul Russel & Co.......
The ultimate Porsche-designed Mercedes-Benz, the 'S' or 'W-06' class cars were powered by a supercharged, in-line six cylinder engine with overhead camshaft, two updraft carburetors, and dual ignition. Approximately 372 of these Sport models were produced between 1927 and 1934. Forty-two of them were SSKs (for Super Sport Kurz or Short), short chassis two-seaters which could reach 115 MPH with the Sindelfingen factory body. The first vehicle specifically created to be driven on the road and on the racetrack, it proved to be remarkably successful at such venues as LeMans, Monaco, and the Mille Miglia.
The factory racing program was over when this chassis was completed in 1930, leaving some components available for installation on the last of the road cars. Engine 77644 was built with the higher compression pistons and the renowned 'elephant blower', or supercharger. The factory commission papers show that chassis 36038 was shipped to Tokyo as a chassis only in February 1930, where it was unable to attract a buyer and returned to the factory. In October it was delivered to the Mercedes-Benz sales agent in Milan, Carlo Saporiti.
When we completed this restoration in 1993, the information we had at the time indicated that Sr. Saporiti had sold the SSK directly to Count Carlo Felice Trossi. Further research by Historica Selecta, compiled in 2009, has revealed that the chassis was first sold to Sr. Antonio Maino. He had a spyder two-seater body built for the chassis at Carrozzeria Touring. From December 1930 to 1933, chassis 36038 was raced at various venues, from the Mille Miglia to hillclimbs, and newly uncovered ACI PRA (Automobile Club d'Italia del Pubblico Registro Automobilistico) documents show that ownership changed multiple times. When Count Trossi purchased it in June 1933, he had his own body built for it. During our research for the restoration the Trossi family archives yielded two renderings: one from an unknown, independent coachbuilder, and the Count's personal sketches of an open roadster without top, the 'Count Trossi' SSK.
The magnificent car you see here could not have been authentically restored without the generous enthusiasm of prior owners and other collectors. For example, the dashboard layout is unlike any other SSK. Thanks to historical documents saved by Count Trossi's daughter and grandchildren, we are able to see the layout of the dash in a photo taken in front of their family home. We also have early photographs kindly supplied by Miss Mary Schaub, daughter of the man who owned it from 1954 to 1963. From these sources and others, we were able to verify that the hand painted reference marks on the tachometer have been there since before the 1950s.
Chasing leads and digging for information is one of the most important and least acknowledged aspects of any restoration project. Upon disassembly of the engine we noted that many of the parts had been numbered RB 1420-14 (an internal work order number) by the factory. However, the number stamped on the oil pan was not a match. With the help of noted German collector Fritz Grashei, we conducted an extensive search through many private collections and found the original oil pan. Ultimately we negotiated an exchange in order to return the correct oil pans to both this SSK and to the engine in Germany.
The persistence and detailed work payed off with Best in Shows at Pebble Beach, Lime Rock, Goodwood, Meadowbrook, and the Villa d'Este Concorso d'Eleganza.....!!!!!

"1 sheep, 2 sheeps, 3 sheeps, 4..."
"Barney it's not sheeps is sheep!"
"Pfft. 5 sheeps, 6 sheeps.... ....29 sheeps, 30 sheeps"
"You'll send yourself to sleep counting all those sheep Barney!"
"Won't. I'm gonna send YOU to sleep then, then, I'm gonna go round up all the sheeps and me and some other collies from down the hill are gonna have a sheep trial!"
"You mean a sheepdog trial!"
"No. I haven't done anything wrong, it's the sheep that are on trial. Bad things them are. With their bleatin and worrying dogs and stuff."
You can't see them here, but there were sheep all around the spot I took this! They teased poor Barney all day long, popping out of the undergrowth in front of him and trotting jauntily ahead, just out of reach (he was on a lead!)... Barney is friendly with cows, he is polite with horses and cats and slightly frightened by chickens and goats but sheep are just too tempting - he can't help trying to stalk them, so he stays on a lead around them, apart from when I'm standing still, taking a photo of him, when he knows to stay put!!
Well, you'll never guess what but I'm back at university again! This time, I'm at Birmingham, which is great as I can commute up from home. For the time being, I'm only going up for three months - to work on a research project, but it's very likely I'll actually be there a lot longer - possibly doing a PhD next year. It's all happened so quickly, I can barely believe it! My dad works for a professor at the university and mentioned me to him a couple of weeks ago. At the end of last week, I went and had a chat with him and this Wednesday, I was offered the temporary job. I pretty much started the project that day! It's all rather sudden but I'm very pleased as I'm sure you can imagine :)
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

One last piece of vintage machinery from Thomas Edison's machine shop.
There are some great pieces of industrial history here, but the light can be a bit challenging for a photographer, due to the big windows. Guess I need to go back for a longer visit on a cloudy day in the winter...
The palace appeared in 1901-1903 already under the great-grandson of N.S. Mordvinov Alexander Alexandrovich-the second. The heir of the count ordered the project of the building to the St. Petersburg civil engineer F. B. Nagel, and entrusted the construction to the architect O. E. Wegener. The Mordvinov Palace was built in the spirit of the Renaissance and resembles the Mediterranean villas of Italian nobles. The materials for the building were gray limestone and Gurzuf green sandstone.
Дворец появился в 1901–1903 годах уже при правнуке Н.С. Мордвинова Александре Александровиче-втором. Наследник графа заказал проект здания петербургскому гражданскому инженеру Ф. Б. Нагель, а возведение доверил архитектору О. Э. Вегенеру. Дворец Мордвиновых построен в духе Возрождения и напоминает средиземноморские виллы итальянских вельмож. Материалами для здания послужили серый известняк и гурзуфский зеленый песчаник.
There are three great white sharks in this shot, along with two yellowfin tuna, and a yellowtail amberjack. Can you spot them all?
"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard
Said, "No more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars"
Yeah, we'll be counting stars…"

Quel façade superbe, à nouveau !
Le bâtiment actuel a été édifié entre 1716 et 1721, certaines sources faisant toutefois remonter l'achèvement définitif jusqu'en 1726, pour le comte Norbert Vincenc Libštejnský de Kolovrat, à l'emplacement de quatre maisons démolies, selon les plans de Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel. Le même architecte que pour le palais Morzin, juste en face, ce qui explique la parenté visuelle assez évidente entre les deux façades.
Le corps baroque vient se greffer sur un noyau plus ancien, le palais Renaissance des seigneurs de Hradec, situé du côté de la rue Thunovská et avec lequel il communique. La propriété passe par héritage à la famille Thun en 1768-1769, qui lui donne son nom actuel. En 1924, l'ensemble est racheté par le gouvernement italien pour y installer son ambassade. Les intérieurs actuels sont quant à eux issus d'une réfection menée entre 1869 et 1871 par l'architecte Josef Zítek, celui du Théâtre national et du Rudolfinum, que l'on a déjà croisé à plusieurs reprises sur ce quai.
Le programme sculpté du portail est attribué à l'atelier du sculpteur baroque Matyáš Bernard Braun. Les deux grands aigles aux ailes déployées qui encadrent l'arc, faisant office d'atlantes, reprennent directement l'aigle du blason des Kolovrat. C'est l'un des éléments les plus remarquables de la façade, souvent présenté comme le pendant héraldique des Maures du palais Morzin voisin.
Au-dessus, posées sur les volutes du fronton brisé, deux figures allongées sont identifiées comme Jupiter et Junon. Les pauvres ils se sont fait capturés au filet tel des trophée de chasse, mais c'est pour leur bien, de bien plus petit volatiles que nous connaissont tous ont la facheuse tendance à squatter tout ce qu'il peuvent et y laisser leurs dejections acides. Donc je reprend, ces figures sont également attribuées à l'atelier Braun, mais seraient plus tardives, autour de 1750. Le grand écusson en bronze qui couronne l'ensemble, surmonté de deux couronnes comtales, correspond aux armoiries alliées des Kolovrat, ajoutées à la même période que ces deux statues.
La porte en fer forgé, ornée de motifs en croix quadrilobées, porte quant à elle le sceau de la République italienne sis dans une belle imposte empli de fer forgé. Cette porte cochère est accompagnée de deux autres portillons tout aussi bien décoré et surmontés cette fois ci d'occulus géants.

I asked two different cowboys how many cattle there were? Neither one knew for sure. How are they going to know if they got them all?
One cowboy said they were Hearding the cows to Texas. I hope somebody in the outfit knows what's going on.

One thing I look forward to every year is the return of the Damselflies, I just love them. They have such character, great colours and are one insect that have that anthropomorphic quality. You can really get eye contact with these guys and a variety of expressions. I really must try to find some different species this year as well. Only 3.5 Months or so to wait LOL ;o)
This was an Ischnura elegans from July last Summer, I took this using my MP-E at about x2-x3 mag using a diffused flash. It was a 15 image focus stack using an F/7.1 aperture, ISO 320 and a 1/160 shutter speed.
Hope everyone has had a great weekend :o)
As the autumn winds swept across the fields,
a light feeling rose against the backdrop of a painted sky.
Shades covered the landscape,
and someone suddenly thought
they should start counting the leaves.🍁
⁛ Sometimes, beauty asks for nothing, just to be noticed once.

On the Last Stormchase of the Summer. I had to make this one count. First chase in my new truck. I couldn't have asked for a better Nebraska Stormscape Scenario!
North of Ansley Nebraska heading towards Broken Bow. Some beautiful crepuscular rays popping out of the first storm starting to build along the advancing cold front.
