This couch was in my childhood home as far back as I can remember and I have a very storied history with it. As it is currently in the process of being thrown out, I naturally dragged it onto the lawn to take pictures it with in celebration, in commemoration; what a couch.
As a teenager, this couch was in what was called "the sewing" room -- a room that housed sewing machines, spools of thread, and fabric, among some other disparate items.
Because I was so into psychology and neuroscience and biology and physics and psychoanalysis, as well as the arts & music culture of the 90s that my parents had engaged with, and because the couch was purchased in the 90s,
I ultimately ended up spending a lot of time laying on it at ages 15-17 contemplating the vast immaterial and material energy field of the 90s (and all prior) that had led up to my birth and eventual existence as a teenage girl in the early 2010s and, deconstructed every facet of reality its most microscopic constituents,
just being like, what....in...the...literal......universe...is...ha pp e nn in gng g g ????? (Affectionate, and disaffectionate).
I also liked to pretend I was the subject of 19th/early 20th psychoanalysis on this couch -- that armrest really cradled my lizard brain.
There's so much more I could say about this couch but I think that's enough of my weird for one day.
Smithfield Meat Market, City of London. The historic market has been on this site since 1327, but its days are numbered. This and Billingsgate Fish Market, currently based in Poplar, were originally proposed to move to Dagenham but it may be that they will close altogether. This site, which sits between Farringdon and Barbican in The City of London, is to largely become the new City of London Museum.

De nuevo Atxabiribil, Sopelana (Bizkaia), en esa tarde de nubes grises potentes, viendo otro angulo de los posibles. Utilice un filtro ND 1.2 de Tiffen y un degradado 0.9 de Lee para dar ese aire de "fin del mundo" en el cielo. Con Photoshop aumente contraste y toque los niveles un pelin ya que estaba bastante bien de luz para mi gusto. Aumento de nitidez y filtro ruido para el cielo.
10am here, blowing snow in a bitter wind and dark as night, but exultant inside as the votes in Georgia continue to roll in... feeling brighter already

This is my last post of this current Mallard series. They loved to fly over the fences in the park so much that they seemed to go back and forth from one side to the other with regularity. It was like a training session for the Olympic hurdles event. Happy Fence Friday!
With the lack of opportunity to move freely during Covid 19, I decided to take a series of shots of reflections in the local streams, ponds, ditches and a short stretch of the River Thames. This one was taken next to Hampton Court Bridge.

Though the temperature of 10º Celsius is not really low compared to snowing countries, it is still called "cold current" in Taiwan. I stayed at home and avoid being outdoor in such a cold and rainy day.
攝氏十度對很多下雪的國家而言，實在不算是冷，但是對台灣而言，就已經是「寒流」等級。
當然，我這怕冷的，完全避免出門，在家翻舊庫存。

The Sonoran Desert as currently defined covers approximately 100,000 square miles (260,000 sq. km.) and includes most of the southern half of Arizona, southeastern California, most of the Baja California peninsula, the islands of the Gulf of California, and much of the state of Sonora, Mexico. It is lush in comparison to most other deserts. Two visually dominant life forms of plants distinguish the Sonoran Desert from the other North American deserts: legume trees and columnar cacti. It also supports many other life forms encompassing a rich spectrum of some 2,000 species of plants.
The amount and seasonality of rainfall are defining characteristics of the Sonoran Desert. Much of the area has a biseasonal rainfall pattern, though even during the rainy seasons most days are sunny. From December to March frontal storms from North Pacific Ocean occasionally bring widespread, gentle rain to the northwestern areas. From July to mid-September, the summer monsoon brings surges of wet tropical air and frequent but localized violent thunderstorms.
The Sonoran Desert prominently differs from the other three North American Deserts in having mild winters; most of the area rarely experiences frost. About half of the biota is tropical in origin, with life cycles attuned to the brief summer rainy season. The winter rains, when ample, produce huge populations of annuals (which comprise half of the species in our flora).
The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in series hybrid vehicle to be produced by General Motors, expected to be launched as a 2011 model with production currently slated to begin in 2010. The Volt's propulsion system will be based on GM's new E-Flex platform.
Unlike current commercially available hybrids, the actual propulsion of the Volt is accomplished by the electric motor, as the internal combustion engine (ICE) is not mechanically connected to the wheels. With fully charged batteries, this electric power may be sourced exclusively from its onboard lithium-ion batteries, for up to 40 miles (64 km), a distance capable of satisfying the daily commute of 75% of Americans, which averages around 33 miles (53 km).
After 40 miles (64 km), the range of the Volt will need to be extended through the use of a small 4-cylinder ICE which drives a 53 kW generator. The electrical power from the generator is then sent to either the electric motor or the batteries, depending on the state of charge (SOC) of the battery pack and the power demanded at the wheels. The distribution is controlled by the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. This effectively extends the Volt's potential range to as much as 640 miles (1,030 km) on a single tank of fuel (which could be potentially extended for longer trips through conventional refueling).
The Volt's 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack can also be fully charged (technically ~85% SOC) by plugging the car into a 120-240VAC residential electrical outlet using the provided SAE J1772 compliant charging cord. No external charging station will be required.

Week 4/52: Water
I took this one the day after election day, 2020, so posting it the morning before the inauguration makes some sense to me. Hard to know where we'll go, but it's definitely somewhere.
On an editing note, I wanted to try to make this one look more like a painting. My first go at it!

i made a youtube video comparing PBR items in Alchemy Beta (PBR capable viewer) and Firestorm (currently nonPBR viewer) just to see the differences.

If you make it over there, let me know what you think.
Firestorm is working on adding PBR. If you want to join their beta testing group to test their pbr viewer, go to their website and click the link to join their beta group in SL.
Alchemy beta does not have all the whistles and bells of Firestorm. For example, no area search which as a hunter, I really like. However, it does have some other advantages. PBR is one. That's very cool. Frame rate is faster. and you can do alt shift C for cinema mode for pictures and videos and the UI and huds disappear. Nice!
However, I know where things are in Firestorm so I'm very comfy with it.
The coolest thing about PBR: realtime reflections so you can have mirrors.
