A terrible picture but the only one of this tiny emerald butterfly so I kept it. I never saw another one the entire trip.
My first Sable Clubtail and quite the exciting moment. A long day of searching for odes. We spent the last couple hours in Dorchester County, Maryland. Wading a small sandy stream I spotted this little dragon on a leaf. Verified by Odonata457 I believe this is a new county record. I never imagined I'd ever get one with all the Ode experts around...but I can only claim half since he did the identification :)
The new home of Cricoteka opened in 2014 – is the first art institution in Poland dedicated to an individual artist.
Architects drew inspiration from the artistic creativity of Tadeusz Kantor. The project shows the idea of ambalage. The new part of the building rises above the historic fragment and, due to its unusual appearance at the recipients, can cause anxiety.
Notes about these pictures: Most of my Chemtrail pictures were taken in Dayton, Ohio--home of The Wright-Patterson Air Force Base -- final resting place of the Roswell aliens <:-0 -- and apparently from my photo and video documentation, Chemtrail Central. This area has been getting Chemtrailed on a massive, daily basis and I have 1000's of pictures and videos since I began documenting Chemtrails regularly, in late 2014. The level of Chemtrail activity here is astonishing, and is being conducted, as they say, in plain sight. Looking back through my film archive of slides & negatives, I have convincing evidence of Chemtrailing activity back to the early 1990’s, and chemtraily-looking skies back to the early 1980’s.
I am designating all my Chemtrail pictures and videos uploaded to Flickr as CC0 (Creative Commons Zero), which removes my copyright and releases them into the Public Domain. My goal is to make them available in the highest resolution possible, and without any image processing. They are archived on Flickr under "Chem Trailchaser".
I hope by making these images widely available, it will accelerate interest, research, study and more documentation from all over the world. Please, download, copy, backup, mirror, share and use & improve as many of these photos as you can! Thanks for looking - Chem
Absolutely nothing flattering about this picture. But I was able to get out and get a grab shot of UP 730 working L537 on the Fox River Sub. The uncommon visitor has been hanging around Green Bay for the past couple of weeks.
Read about my visit to Kwun Tong here:
The previous time I was here for shooting, it was back in November 2011. Decided to come back on this day before this downtown district further moves forward.
One of the first New towns in Hong Kong, Kwun Tong was, and remains, a major light industrial area. Its population has been growing rapidly, and the demand for housing, medical and educational facilities and services has been increasing.
In view of this, a number of community development projects, such as the redevelopment of old housing estates and the construction of major parks, have been implemented in recent years.
The other side of this progress in transition is the diminishing of history, soon most of these old concrete industrial buildings will be bygone. With this in mind, I've decided to once again visit this district to carry on with the documentation of what is going to be history in the coming days.

The woman at center right actually dropped her phone right after this and it nearly fell into the storm drains. Several passersby helped retrieve it.
Despite the sheer turnout, people took plenty of time to talk to one another and chat.
Friends and I had such a great day the day before yesterday, 30 June 2018, travelling westward into the mountains for a bio-blitz on the 40 acres of land belonging to such a delightful family - the Cartwrights. Tonight, I decided to edit and post the remaining photos that are really just record shots, in one go, completing my documentation of this most enjoyable trip. That means that I can go back and edit and post photos from other recent trips and bio-blitzes, as I have fallen way behind.
There were about a dozen family members who were there to join us on our bio-blitz, which was great. Each of the adult brothers and sisters live elsewhere, but share this precious land and return whenever they want some good old nature therapy and family time - even weddings! After spending a few hours strolling through their forest and exploring their wetland, I can completely understand why they love returning to this precious spot. Not only are all these siblings such friendly, welcoming people, the family has also generously placed this huge area into a trust, to make sure that it is forever left the way it is. "Property acquired by parents 50 years ago (1968?). An easement was placed on the land preventing any family member from disposing of their 'share', thus disallowing the fragmentation of this biologically rich area." Information from Gus Yaki.
Coffee and baked goodies were waiting for us on arrival - what a treat! Later in the walk, more coffee and goodies were waiting at a spot just before a long, wooden boardwalk. When I say boardwalk, I mean it was just one plank wide, with water and bog on either side. I do not have good balance and I immediately regretted attempting this, ha. Every single, tiny, slow step was taken with great care, I can assure you, and I was amazed that I didn't fall in.
Two of the younger members of the family have made a documentary about conservation in Southern Alberta. Clear-cutting of the forest is a big concern - we saw evidence of this on our drive to the Cartwright's property. This is one of two short films to be shown by CPAWS on 4 July at Cardell Theatre in Calgary. They will be followed by a panel discussion with local experts and conservationists. Tickets have to be reserved.

"In Alberta, public lands in the foothills are being clearcut at a rate faster than they can recover with little opportunity for public input or understanding. Forests, Fins & Footprints is a community-funded documentation of clearcutting in the Ghost Valley — a watershed located just upstream of Calgary, on the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
Wondering how to make a difference, we asked for answers from environmentalists, biologists, geologists, and people who live and work on the land. How does clearcutting affect an area's water, landscape, and wildlife, as well as the people living in that watershed? How will clearcut forestry impact the future? And how can we as a society move forward more thoughtfully?” Taken from the link below.

It is always puzzling to me how our Naturalist leader meets so many people who live on ranches or acreages. It was a very different story two days ago, when we learned that he had offered a free bio-blitz (mind you, our bio-blitzes are always free!) at a Silent Auction : ) This family had won this "prize", and we couldn't have asked for a more appreciative group of family members to offer our help to. As always, the landowners 'win' by being given a very detailed list of every plant, etc. that is growing on their land. We also 'win' because we get to meet so many great people and see so many places that we would otherwise never get the chance to see.

Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany by both area and population. Its 3,723,914 (2018) inhabitants make it the second most populous city proper of the European Union after London. The city is one of Germany's 16 federal states. It is surrounded by the state of Brandenburg, and contiguous with its capital, Potsdam. The two cities are at the center of the Berlin/Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which is, with 6,004,857 (2015) inhabitants and an area of 30,370 square km, Germany's third-largest metropolitan region after the Rhine-Ruhr and Rhine-Main regions.
Berlin straddles the banks of the River Spree, which flows into the River Havel (a tributary of the River Elbe) in the western borough of Spandau. Among the city's main topographical features are the many lakes in the western and southeastern boroughs formed by the Spree, Havel, and Dahme rivers (the largest of which is Lake Müggelsee). Due to its location in the European Plain, Berlin is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. About one-third of the city's area is composed of forests, parks, gardens, rivers, canals and lakes. The city lies in the Central German dialect area, the Berlin dialect being a variant of the Lusatian-New Marchian dialects.
First documented in the 13th century and situated at the crossing of two important historic trade routes, Berlin became the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg (1417–1701), the Kingdom of Prussia (1701–1918), the German Empire (1871–1918), the Weimar Republic (1919–1933), and the Third Reich (1933–1945). Berlin in the 1920s was the third largest municipality in the world. After World War II and its subsequent occupation by the victorious countries, the city was divided; West Berlin became a de facto West German exclave, surrounded by the Berlin Wall (1961–1989) and East German territory. East Berlin was declared capital of East Germany, while Bonn became the West German capital. Following German reunification in 1990, Berlin once again became the capital of all of Germany.
Berlin is a world city of culture, politics, media and science. Its economy is based on high-tech firms and the service sector, encompassing a diverse range of creative industries, research facilities, media corporations and convention venues. Berlin serves as a continental hub for air and rail traffic and has a highly complex public transportation network. The metropolis is a popular tourist destination. Significant industries also include IT, pharmaceuticals, biomedical engineering, clean tech, biotechnology, construction and electronics.
Berlin is home to world-renowned universities, orchestras, museums, and entertainment venues, and is host to many sporting events. Its Zoological Garden is the most visited zoo in Europe and one of the most popular worldwide. With the world's oldest large-scale movie studio complex, Berlin is an increasingly popular location for international film productions. The city is well known for its festivals, diverse architecture, nightlife, contemporary arts and a very high quality of living. Since the 2000s Berlin has seen the emergence of a cosmopolitan entrepreneurial scene.

The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer) was a guarded concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany), starting on 13 August 1961, the Wall cut off (by land) West Berlin from virtually all of surrounding East Germany and East Berlin until government officials opened it in November 1989. Its demolition officially began on 13 June 1990 and finished in 1992. The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, accompanied by a wide area (later known as the "death strip") that contained anti-vehicle trenches, "fakir beds" and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the "will of the people" in building a socialist state in East Germany.
GDR authorities officially referred to the Berlin Wall as the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart (German: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall). The West Berlin city government sometimes referred to it as the "Wall of Shame", a term coined by mayor Willy Brandt in reference to the Wall's restriction on freedom of movement. Along with the separate and much longer Inner German border (IGB), which demarcated the border between East and West Germany, it came to symbolize physically the "Iron Curtain" that separated Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War.
Before the Wall's erection, 3.5 million East Germans circumvented Eastern Bloc emigration restrictions and defected from the GDR, many by crossing over the border from East Berlin into West Berlin; from there they could then travel to West Germany and to other Western European countries. Between 1961 and 1989 the Wall prevented almost all such emigration. During this period over 100,000 people attempted to escape and over 5,000 people succeeded in escaping over the Wall, with an estimated death toll ranging from 136 to more than 200 in and around Berlin.
In 1989 a series of revolutions in nearby Eastern Bloc countries—Poland and Hungary in particular—caused a chain reaction in East Germany that ultimately resulted in the demise of the Wall. After several weeks of civil unrest, the East German government announced on 9 November 1989 that all GDR citizens could visit West Germany and West Berlin. Crowds of East Germans crossed and climbed onto the Wall, joined by West Germans on the other side in a celebratory atmosphere. Over the next few weeks, euphoric people and souvenir hunters chipped away parts of the Wall; the governments later used industrial equipment to remove most of what was left.[6] The "fall of the Berlin Wall" paved the way for German reunification, which formally took place on 3 October 1990.

This image is taken from an album of photographs found in the Swan Hunter shipbuilders collection at Tyne & Wear Archives. The album is from 1918 and documents the U.B. 110 before she was scrapped on the dry docks of Swan Hunter Wigham Richardson Ltd, Wallsend.
The twin-screw German submarine U.B. 110 was built by Blohm & Voss, Hamburg.
On the 19th July 1918, when attacking a convoy of merchant ships near Hartlepool, she herself was attacked by H.M. Motor-Launch No. 263 and suffered from depth charges. Coming to the surface she was rammed by H.M.S. Garry, a torpedo boat destroyer, and sunk.
In September she was salvaged and placed in the admiralty dock off Jarrow slake. She was then berthed at Swan Hunter's dry docks department with an order to restore her as a fighting unit.
The Armistice on 11th November 1918 caused work on her to be stopped. She was towed on the 19th December 1918 from Wallsend to the Northumberland Dock at Howdon and was subsequently sold as scrap.
The album of photographs, taken by Frank & Sons of South Shields, documents the U.B. 110 in extensive detail. The photographs provide a rare glimpse into the mechanics and atmosphere of the raised German submarine.

Jack Becker, an expert in documenting vessels for the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), is taking RIPTIDE's lines via photogrammetry, which involves using computer software to develop a three-dimensional drawing of the vessel's lines from photography.
(RIPTIDE is at the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-Op for repairs to her keel and strut in the area of her aft cockpit).
The office of Heritage Documentation Programs within the National Park Service administers the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), the Federal Government's oldest preservation program, and its companion programs: the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) and Historic American Landscapes Survey (HALS). Documentation produced through the programs constitutes the nation's largest archive of historic architectural, engineering, and landscape documentation, and includes well over a half million documents. The HABS/HAER/HALS Collection is housed at the Library of Congress. www.nps.gov/hdp/
The Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) was established in 1969 by the National Park Service, the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Library of Congress to document historic sites and structures related to engineering and industry. Appropriate subjects for documentation are individual sites or objects, such as a bridge, ship, or steel works; or larger systems, like railroads, canals, electronic generation and transmission networks, parkways and roads.
From its inception, HAER focused less on the building fabric and more on the machinery and processes within, although structures of distinctly industrial character continue to be recorded. In recent years, maritime documentation has become an important program focus. www.nps.gov/hdp/haer/
RIPTIDE was built in 1927 by the Schertzer Brothers Boat and Machine Company, then located on the north end of Lake Union near the foot of Stone Way in Seattle. She is 47 feet 1-inch long with a beam of 11 feet 10-inches and a draft of four feet. She is planked in port orford cedar riveted to white oak frames over an apitong backbone with western red cedar houses. She displaces about 10 tons, relatively light for a boat this size.
She was originally named NEREIAD, then, shortly thereafter, NOKARE. Her trunk cabin (the raised cabin aft of the pilothouse) was reportedly added (or extended) in 1933. By 1936, when owned by Russell G. Gibson, a Director of the Seattle Yacht club, she had been named RIPTIDE.
Mr Gibson owned her through at least 1960. After a few years, she was bought in 1965 by Richard Billings, who used her as a cruiser and live-aboard in Alaska. In 1968 Richard sold her to his brother Roger, who owned her through 2014. RIPTIDE is fortunate to have been owned by knowledgeable and caring owners throughout her long life.
RIPTIDE is a Coast Guard documented vessel. She carries documentation number 226242 carved into the interior face of both port and starboard bilge stringers. She is documented at 17 net tons and 21 gross tons.
Her original engine may have been a Hall-Scott gasoline engine, but is as yet unknown. By 1959 she had an eight cylinder Chrysler Crown gas engine, a common engine of the time, most likely added in the late 1940's. That engine was removed in 1967 when RIPTIDE was re-powered by a 1967 Volvo MD-70A diesel engine. The Volvo engine was removed in early June 2015 and was replaced by Cummins 5.9 liter diesel of 210hp. While her top speed is over 14 knots at 2400 rpm, her cruising speed is a much more sedate 9 knots at 1500 rpm. She carries 300 gallons of diesel fuel.
She was overhauled by the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-Op in Port Townsend WA between April 8th and September 16th, 2015. The Co-Op replaced 35 frames, then replanked much of her hull above the waterline. They installed a new transom and decks, replaced her engine and exhaust system, and installed a modern electrical system. Finally, a new anchor windlass and chain was installed.
Diane Salguero of Salguero Marine Services varnished the transom and pilothouse windows and painted the vessel.
RIPTIDE's hailing port is Port Ludlow WA. She is usually moored in Port Madison, on Bainbridge Island, WA.
Despite of troubles with documentation Soviet scientists assembled unfinished vehicle. It differed a lot from the project. No armor. One 8.8 cm cannon KwK 43 instead of two 100 mm, two 20 mm autocannons instead of missile launcher. Engine was taken from airplane and it was too weak to move this mech well. So it always overheated. Vehicle was unbalanced because of its heavy cannon on one side and two light ones on another. But the main problem was with neurointerface. It could recognize orders properly, but it couldn’t control the vehicle without additional calculations well. Computer was needed. Without it all the movements were too slow to use mech in battle. And at that time computers were too huge to be set up on this mech.
Every screw, fitting, washer and purchase - sorted, recorded, documented and cross referenced for future generations.

A deckchair from the Titanic has sold at auction in Devizes, Wiltshire, for just over £100,000.
The Nantucket wooden chair was on the first-class promenade deck when the luxury liner sank in the Atlantic after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage in 1912.
The chair was sold at the auction house Henry Aldridge and Son to an unnamed UK-based collector who has a passion for buying pieces of historic importance, auctioneer Andrew Aldridge said. He added that he was “very, very pleased” with the price.
Aldridge described the chair, which was salvaged from the ocean by a team sent to recover bodies after the Titanic sank, as “one of the rarest types of Titanic collectible”.
About 1,500 people died when the Titanic sank after striking an iceberg on 14 April 1912 en route to New York from Southampton.
The deckchair was found bobbing on the surface of the Atlantic by the crew of the Mackay-Bennett, who were sent to recover the bodies of the victims.
The Mackay-Bennett’s log records six or seven deckchairs being picked up and taken back to port in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
One was given to a former crewmate, Captain Julien Lemarteleur. It has since been owned for 15 years by an English Titanic collector who kept it by a large window overlooking the sea at his home on the south coast.
The seller had never sat on it due to its fragile state and instead used it as a display item.
The chair, which was professionally conserved several years ago, had a sale estimate of £70,000 to £80,000.
"The winning bidder is a UK-based collector of iconic pieces of history."
The deckchair was picked up by the crew of the Mackay-Bennett which was sent to recover the bodies of the victims after the Titanic sank.
According to the ship's log records, it was one of six or seven taken back to port in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Mr Aldridge said it was probably given to French cable ship captain Julien Lemarteleur by a crew member of the Mackay-Bennett, along with the piece of cork from a Titanic lifejacket.
"The in-depth provenance documentation confirms the chain of custody of the deckchair through from Capt Lemarteleur in 1912 through to the present day," he said.
The previous owner, an English Titanic collector, had kept it for 15 years.
About 1,500 people died when the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg on 14 April during its maiden voyage to New York from Southampton.
The auction took place at Henry Aldridge and Son in Devizes.
A LETTER sold for £25,000 at auction
A White Star letter with Grimsby link makes Titanic sum at auction . A letter from the owners of the Titanic to the family of a dead officer asking for a large sum of money to return his dead body to England.A letter addressed to the brother of a Grimsby officer who was on the doomed Titanic has sold for £25,000 at auction.
The letter was sold by a private collector, who acquired it from the Moody family, at Henry Aldridge & Son auctioneers, in Wiltshire.
The auction house could not disclose who made the winning bid, but said it had gone to an avid collector of Titanic memorabilia.
As reported, the shocking correspondence – demanding payment for the return of the officer's remains – was dated May 7, 1912, just weeks after the cruise liner sank.
The letter was sent to Christopher Moody in Cartergate, whose brother, 24-year-old officer James Moody, was on board the Titanic when it sank.
He is thought to have lived in St James' House, Grimsby.
Searches through archives uncovered the tale that Moody was the first person down from the crow's nest to alert people to the iceberg.
Second class passenger Henry Faunthorpe, who worked at the Bon Marche shop, later to become Lawson & Stockdale, in Cleethorpe Road, was also a victim.
The letter was written by Ismay Imrie & Co, parent company of White Star Lines which owned the Titanic, and asked for a £20 deposit – the equivalent of £2,100 today – to pay for James' body to be returned to his family back home in England.
:: Here is the letter in full: C.W. Moody, Esq., 98, Cartergate, Grimsby.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir, We have your further letter of the 6th instant, and while we will be prepared to transport the remains of your brother across the Atlantic to either Liverpool or Southampton we regret that it is not possible for us to do any more.
Should you after further consideration desire the remains of your Brother to be returned will you kindly telegraph us in the morning at the same time sending us a deposit of £20 for any expenses and land charges on the other Side and we will at once cable New York asking then to arrange this if practicable.
We also think it right to point out that the arrangements and expenses for taking charge of the remains after arrival of the steamer at Liverpool or Southampton would be on your account.
While sympathising with your inclination we trust, however, that you will eventually decide to allow the remains to be interred with the others which we can assure you will be carried out on your behalf by our people with all due reverence, and if you would care for a photograph of the grave or if there are some words you would like included on the tombstone we shall be happy to have your wish complied with on hearing from you.
Yours faithfully, For Ismay Imrie & Co.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James' body has still never been recovered, 103 years on.
Little is known about his brother Christopher and for how long he lived in Cartergate.
A spokesperson for the auction house said: "The importance of this letter cannot be overstated as it was unknown to this point that the White Star Line would charge the family of one of the officers onboard the ill-fated liner for the return of their loved one.

I recently pulled my GP2X out of storage to try writing a few program on it. Unfortunately, the unstoppable march of progress has made the network-over-usb interface incompatible with my computer's kernel version. Rather than fiddle with software, I decided to take the "easy" way in, by opening it up and soldering some wires to the serial data lines.
