Who said there isn't no venture in Taiwan? Here I went cave exploration today. Within only 1 hour travel with bus, I can't say it's hard to get to the place. It's in Keelung, the place I was born. Normally my family would have come back each year at CNY, but this year with my little nephew we did not. It is a Temple called "仙洞巖". The place really had history going around. My dad used to live here while he was young. Playing around with all these caves and cargo wharfs in the neighborhood called "白米甕". Means urn with rises. All these craters, here by now mostly covered with Buddha carvings were once normal. Back in the time while Taiwan still very poor, there was a specific crack that produced RISE on itself. Afterward given the story been told, here all these caves become sacred. "仙洞" came from all these sacredness and there the temple was built within the nature cave.
This photo of this was taken on the different cave of the temple which I have never been in before. As it's no tourist season and most people don't come this far. Normally they are to worship the temple only. I am here in the cave ALL ALONE!! With the dim light and nature water dripping down from the cave ceiling. I must say it did creep me out! I turned back out after two holes of crouching with straight shoulders. There was a cave light blink on me!! That's it ! I told myself at that time and went out right away without a second thought. Damn I am a chicken!

Urbex: Exploration d'une prison abandonnée en France.
Exploration of abandoned hospital in Preston, no run ins with security or anybody else on the site. Very impressive explore, the site was another one that really is shockingly huge, we covered just over half of it I would predict :)
"Whittingham Hospital opened officially on 1st April 1873, built by bricks made on site, the source being what became to be known as the "duck pond" but referred to on maps as the "fish pond". The kiln for the manufacture of the bricks was situated, apparently, in what is known "Super's Hill Woods", at the back of the hospital, on the road to Grimsargh. The hospital was built in four "phases", the first being St Luke's (the Main), followed by St John's (the Annex), then Cameron House, and lastly St Margaret's (the New or West Annex). In addition to these 'divisions' there was also a Sanatorium of fourteen beds built for Infectious Diseases, which became known as Fryars' Villa, later to become part of the accomodation for the resident staff. The hospital served the community for almost 150 years, and, in its' day, was a virtually self sufficient community."
"The former Whittingham hospital closed in the early 90s and the proposed redevelopment will include homes, sports facilities and a new primary school. "
During our local art exploration, we visited with local artist Larry-Michael Hackenberg at his home to see how his place shapes his work. We briefly explored historic architecture and public art in downtown Three Rivers. We also met with local artist Fred Grunert at the Carnegie Center for the Arts, where he discussed his own work and showed us the amazing galleries and other facilities of the Carnegie.
A beautiful day trip up the Oregon coast with Dory and Arty started our 2015 off right!

As NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit began collecting images for a 360-degree panorama of new terrain, the rover captured this view of a dark boulder with an interesting surface texture. The boulder sits about 40 centimeters (16 inches) tall on Martian sand about 5 meters (16 feet) away from Spirit. It is one of many dark, volcanic rock fragments -- many pocked with rounded holes called vesicles -- littering the slope of "Low Ridge." The rock surface facing the rover is similar in appearance to the surface texture on the outside of lava flows on Earth.
Spirit took this approximately true-color image with the panoramic camera on the rover's 810th sol, or Martian day, of exploring Mars (April 13, 2006), using the camera's 753-nanometer, 535-nanometer, and 432-nanometer filters.
