[R5 - Korriban - SCS] Exploration on Korriban
The Stygian Caldera Society (SCS) always shows interest to the Sith legends and mysteries. Former Imperial and Sith history expert, Dr. Hawon has recently set up an archeological site in the Valley of the Dark Lords.
As an old friend, former Royal Guard Champion Ereon Tas pays a visit to him.
Dr. Hawon : Help yourself if you are searching for something. I am too busy right now.
Ereon Tas : I am looking for an ancient weapon.
Dr. Hawon : Look into the box over there. Are you sure you don't want to join me unlocking the secret in this Holocron ?
Some more digital art practice, this concept is around explorers using some kind of Clarke-tech (advanced technology comparable to magic); so rather than big heavy rovers and exo-suits maybe it's telepresence beamed down from orbit as avatars (no need to worry about fighting dangerous gravity wells). Exploring as ghosts or gods: effortless, elegant, silent, spectral.
I'm not sure the picture tells the story enough though; I had trouble trying to convey movement to the drone. It looks a little static to, frozen to me. What are your thoughts?

I’ve traveled the world twice over,
Met the famous; saints and sinners,
Poets and artists, kings and queens,
Old stars and hopeful beginners,
I’ve been where no one’s been before,
Learned secrets from writers and cooks
All with one library ticket
To the wonderful world of books.

Support teams arrive via helicopter to the SpaceX recovery ship Shannon to prepare for the landing of the SpaceX Dragon Endurance spacecraft with NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina onboard in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Tampa, Florida, Saturday, March 11, 2023. Mann, Cassada, Wakata, and Kikina are returning after 157 days in space as part of Expedition 68 aboard the International Space Station. Photo Credit: (NASA/Keegan Barber).
Regulars may remember that several years ago, an exploration followed Dorset's River Frome from source to mouth. In this photo, not far from Maiden Newton Station, our new exploration along the route of the Bridport Railway branch line crosses the route of the R. Frome exploration.
To the top and right, the embankment of the railway line can be seen under which the river flows. Adjacent and In the foreground, an old public right-of-way bridge crosses the Frome. More or less in the middle of the photo, a sluice gate can also be seen that can regulate the flow depending on the weather conditions though how often it is still used I do not know.
Incidentally, running along the valley is part of the Macmillan Way, a 290 mile / 470 kms trail from Boston, Lincolnshire to Abbotsbury, Dorset. It is named after the Macmillan Charity dedicated to cancer relief.
Sometimes the best thing you can do to learn new techniques is sit down in front of unusual arts, and just explore their possibilities.
"Seeing" creatively, means being able to see differently. Not just what is expected, but what is possible. It can be as simple as turning a plate upside down and building "backwards", like here. And trying to find alternative connections for parts, like using a 1x1 round brick and a tyre to secure a Trolls hair piece and turn it into a flower.
In other words, explore the possibilities. You might just surprise yourself with what you find.
Jenny's Log 01:
We (crash) landed on a new planet today, Lenny managed to salvage a rover while Kenny is repairing one of the ships to get farther. So far, my scans haven't shown anything. Landing was tough, but who knows what this planet could hold.
Who wants to go kayaking into the depths of an amazing ice cave? Well, that's exactly what we did when we last visited Valdez, AK.
Blog: www.tnwaphotography.wordpress.com
Not far from town is the Valdez Glacier, where we decided to go kayaking in the freshwater lake that leads to the glacier. It was the first nice day since we had been in Valdez, so we were quite excited. The day was spent paddling around the icebergs throughout the lake, which were broken off from the glacier over time in this ever-changing habitat. Glaciers, as just mentioned, exist is a constant state of change, as do the formations found within them. Tom & I had been sea kayaking within glaciers before, but not like this. We were in search of ice caves!
We were lead into many smaller ice caves that were in their early stages of development and I was quite thrilled. However, when we entered this ice cave "tunnel", I was totally blown away! The sound of the ice crystals popping and the waters dripping down from the glacier into the icy waters below heightened our senses. The meandering turns in the cave brought exhilaration with ever corner. That glacial blue ice shining through was probably the cherry on top of the sundae for me. It was, as they say, sensory overload ... of the best imaginable kind. As you can imagine, I didn't want to leave.
