ENG: How do we want to live in the future? The Futurium motivates its guests to engage with different future perspectives and possibilities, and to do so in a playful way: various scenarios, an exhibition, a future lab and a forum for dialogue and discussion invite you to develop your own attitude.
The FUTURIUM building was opened on 5 September 2019 and is a kind of future museum and thus aims to answer open questions about the future. Admission is free and anyone can visit it not far from Berlin's main railway station. I personally can only recommend it. If only because the roof terrace (skywalk) offers a beautiful panoramic view over Berlin's city centre.

GER: Wie wollen wir in Zukunft leben? Das Futurium motiviert seine Gäste zur Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedenen Zukunftsperspektiven und Möglichkeiten, und das ganz spielerisch: Verschiedene Szenarien, eine Ausstellung, ein Zukunftslabor und ein Forum für Dialog und Diskussion laden dazu ein, eine eigene Haltung zu entwickeln.
Der FUTURIUM Bau wurde am 5. September 2019 eröffnet und ist eine Art Zukunfts-Museum und soll so offene Fragen der Zukunft beantworten. Der Eintritt ist Frei und darf von jedem unweit des Berliner Hauptbahnhofs besucht werden. Ich persönlich kann es nur empfehlen. Alleine schon deswegen, da die Dachterrasse (Skywalk) einen schönen Panorama Blick über Berlins Mitte bietet.

Parti d'Hausbergen quelques minutes plus tôt, la 22251 de l'AEF entame une longue traversée de la France, acheminant une rame TGV OUIGO destinée à l'Espagne, où la SNCF s'est engagée en concurrence à la RENFE depuis 2022. Le soleil, lui, est sur le point de se coucher et frôle déjà avec la ligne d'horizon, générant cette lumière rouge et cette ambiance particulière.

Sydney tugboat 'Engage Maverick' rounding the point at Bradleys Head, on Sydney harbour.
The 'Engage Maverick' was just returning from its evening task of escorting the Italian cruise ship 'Costa Deliziosa' through Sydney harbour and out to the ocean.
On this point fishermen gather in the late afternoon and then into the dusk (and beyond). Apparently they catch fish but it looks to me more like a social occasion, lol.

Across the harbour you can see all the apartments and towers that comprise Elizabeth Bay, Potts Point and Kings Cross.

Northern Gannets are monogamous and mate for life. Pairs form, and renew their bonds, at the breeding colony, which may contain thousands of pairs in close proximity to each other. Once partnered, male and female greet each other at the nest site each time they reunite, the males shaking the head, the females offering the nape for the male to nibble. They also engage in so-called “mutual fencing,” wherein they face each other, often touching, calling, shaking heads side to side as their bills clack together, bowing, and finally preening each other’s neck.
Happy Valentine to all!
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
Over an extended weekend we did a 2000 miles roadtrip from California to Nevada to Utah and back: destination badlands near Hanksville. We went to the Cathedral Gorge State Park located in Nevada near the Utah border. The park’s beauty formed from volcanic activity that deposited layers of ash hundreds of feet thick. Erosion has carved dramatic and unique patterns in the soft bentonite clay, here a tall chimney that is over 100 feet hight.
I processed a paintery, a balanced, and a photographic HDR photo from four RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

"A man may go through a door that leads him to himself"...so get that effin' gun out of my face, will ya?
Created for The Hypothetical Award's "5th Annual HYPOTHETICAL INTERIORS" challenge.
Newts have evolved to engage in unique mating practices. Males and females are drawn together through a potent release of hormones. The male grabs the female from behind and wrestles her to the bottom of the water, where he deposits a sperm package on a leaf. The female then uptakes the sperm into an opening leading to her sex organ.
In some species, as with this eastern spotted newt, the female has small appendages on either side of the opening to assist her. This is a rare photo of a female swimming alone with these appendages still extended. She has either just mated or is looking to do so.
A small insect swims above her to the left.

It’s especially lovely for families, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a moment of calm in the heart of town.
Today's Snap Happy theme of games was set by David Nice.
My Star Trek Tri Dimensional Chess Set zooming outside in the late winter sunshine. It's a surprisingly difficult set to photograph with the 3 levels. This was done with my phone camera as I was worried I didn't have the laptop back in time! With a bit of zoom added in post. (No time travel allowed in my trekie universe). Have a lovely Monday everyone.
Please check the rules of the group before commenting. Happy comments and no mention of that pandemic only!:))
A robin in our back garden landing on the fork Rachel wasn't at that point using. This is not a Photoshop job!! (Well, beyond a crop, levels, slight sharpen.) I just happened to have the macro lens (f=105mm) on the camera, which helped.
Fluid couplings, fluid flywheels and torque converters, all employ fluid, usually oil, to provide initially, on engine tick over, a degree of slip in the mechanism, ( like a disengaged clutch/ that is pedal depressed ) when we engage drive, as in a car for instance, we release the handbrake, increase the engine revolutions, by means of the accelerator pedal, and by increasing the input speed the fluid friction increases, until we have in effect a "solid" drive, and hence vehicle movement.
The resemblance visually /externally is reasonably accurate, internally there are only vague similarities.......
This image comprises a water fountain head in a domed spray setting or mode, and hence is a fluid form.
I have taken the man out of the engineering ( via retirement ) but i cannot remove the engineering from the man.. it has become too far ingrained, even without conscious thought, the mind flows into it.

Acknowledge that most of my fellow bird photographers are not bothered about planes photos, so tried my best to make them look a bit more interesting.
Bigg's (Transient) Killer Whales
"
Bigg’s killer whales do not vocalize or echolocate as much as resident killer whales to avoid detection by their prey. They also engage in conspicuous activities like breaching and playing at the surface less frequently than residents However, Bigg’s often engage in dramatic activity while attacking their prey. Depending on the size of the animal being pursued, they may ram their prey sometimes knocking it into the air, strike it with their tails, or swim on top of it to force it underwater until it drowns.
Previously known as transient killer whales, Bigg’s killer whales were renamed in honour of the late pioneer killer whale researcher Dr. Michael Bigg who discovered at least two types of killer whale that inhabit the coastal waters of British Columbia (B.C.). Bigg’s killer whales roam over large areas of the British Columbia coast and beyond in smaller groups, feeding on marine mammals such as seals, sea lions, and even other whales.

Memories become stories. Ideas are transformed into projects.
Notes inspire insight.
We write and understand, learn, see and think – with the hand.”

Writing lets you actively engage with your thoughts. I highly recommend keeping a notebook nearby. Using them has so many benefits for your mind!

# Now; some individuals engage transition within physical focus in what appears to be a more dramatic manner, in which they may generate what you would view as unusual experiences. Some generate the experience that you term to be Alzheimer’s dis-ease, which is actually an individual generating transition in a concentrated manner within physical focus, in which the individual is not focusing their attention in merely this one manifestation or this one area of consciousness. Therefore !, to you they appear to be drifting or not present.
Einige Personen sind auf eine anscheinend dramatischere Art im physischen Fokus in Transition und machen vielleicht für euch ungewöhnliche Erfahrungen. Einige erfahren etwas, das ihr Alzheimer nennt, als eine ganz konzentrierte Transition im physischen Fokus, in der die Person seine Aufmerksamkeit nicht nur auf diese eine Manifestation oder diesen einen
Bewusstseinsbereich richtet. Deswegen kommt es euch so vor als würde sie keinen Halt haben oder wäre nicht gegenwärtig.

There are no living among the endless no man's land - machines now prowl there instead, fighting for their human masters.
"Pulex" is a capable fighting vehicle: it engages enemy with a 30mm autocannon.
Its' most prominent feature - wide synthetic legs, - provide agility and unmatched all-terrain capabilities.
It's hunched, heavily armored body earned the name Panzerflea among living crew. Most often these machines used to support drone infantry with firepower in long operations.

So, this is my final model for Dronuary 2025.
Panzerflea continues the series of unmanned vehicles with abysmal tentacles that I started with Typhon . I have more of these, but only in plans - for now. So... Stay tuned, I guess.
Guido Reni (Bologna, November 4, 1575 - Bologna, August 18, 1642) - Atalanta e Hyppomenes (1620-25) oil on canvas 192×264 cm - Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte
Atalanta, per accontentare il padre, sicura dei propri mezzi, promise di sposarsi solo con chi l'avesse battuta in una gara di corsa. La posta era altissima: ciascun pretendente che non ne fosse uscito vincitore, sarebbe stato ucciso.
Nessuno riuscì a batterla finché non arrivò Ippomene che, profondamente innamorato, volle cimentarsi nella rischiosissima impresa chiedendo aiuto ad Afrodite. La dea diede allora a Ippomene tre mele d'oro tratte dal Giardino delle Esperidi ed egli, seguendone il consiglio, lasciò che cadessero a una a una durante la corsa. Atalanta ne risultò irresistibilmente attratta e si fermò ogni volta a raccoglierle, perdendo così terreno prezioso e, infine, la gara stessa.
Atalanta viene descritta come provocante, ma fermamente virtuosa. Cacciatrice infaticabile, venne talvolta assimilata ad Artemide.
Atalanta, in order to satisfy her father, sure of her own means, promised to marry only the one who had beaten her in a running race. The stakes were very high: each suitor who did not win would be killed.
No one was able to beat her until Hippomenes arrived and, deeply in love, wanted to engage in the risky business by asking for help from Aphrodite. The goddess then gave Hippomenes three golden apples taken from the Garden of the Hesperides and he, following her advice, let them fall one by one during the race. Atalanta was irresistibly attracted by them and stopped every time to pick them up, thus losing precious ground and, finally, the race itself.
Atalanta is described as provocative, but firmly virtuous. Tireless hunter, she was sometimes assimilated to Artemis.
Sandhill Crane Pair
Horicon Marsh, Wildlife Refuge, Wisconsin
The sandhill crane (Grus canadensis) is a species of large crane of North America and extreme northeastern Siberia. The common name of this bird refers to habitat like that at the Platte River, on the edge of Nebraska's Sandhills on the American Plains. This is the most important stopover area for the nominotypical subspecies, the lesser sandhill crane (Grus canadensis canadensis), with up to 450,000 of these birds migrating through annually.
Adults are gray overall; during breeding, their plumage is usually much worn and stained, particularly in the migratory populations, and looks nearly ochre. The average weight of the larger males is 4.57 kg (10.1 lb), while the average weight of females is 4.02 kg (8.9 lb), with a range of 2.7 to 6.7 kg (6.0 to 14.8 lb) across the subspecies.
These cranes frequently give a loud, trumpeting call that suggests a rolled "r" in the throat, and they can be heard from a long distance. Mated pairs of cranes engage in "unison calling". The cranes stand close together, calling in a synchronized and complex duet. The female makes two calls for every one from the male.
Sandhill cranes' large wingspans, typically 1.65 to 2.29 m (5 ft 5 in to 7 ft 6 in), make them very skilled soaring birds, similar in style to hawks and eagles. Using thermals to obtain lift, they can stay aloft for many hours, requiring only occasional flapping of their wings and consequently expending little energy. Migratory flocks contain hundreds of birds, and can create clear outlines of the normally invisible rising columns of air (thermals) they ride.

Satellite Laser and Radio Ranging System:
One of the 1.3 Gigawatt Pulsed Lasers at Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HartRAO), tracking a Satellite as it passes overhead.
About this specific Laser Ranging System:
"The system can range to satellites with an orbital altitude of 25 000 km, perform continuous tracking of navigation signals from GLONASS and Global Positioning System satellites, take measurements of current navigation parameters and receive navigation messages transmitted from the satellites." - SARAO News.
Note: This was shortly after dark and what seems to be a bright star above the laser, is in fact the planet Jupiter.
Just for fun - how powerful is 1.3 Gigawatt?
It is more than Doc Brown needed in Back to the Future!
A big thank you to Heystek Grobler from HartRAO for showing me around.
