I created the woman and wall in DDG Text 2 Dream Ai, then layered it over a color-inverted and mirrored and flipped version of Robbi's source at 38%, then applied Topaz Studio look "Pony Espresso" over all and made color changes. All modifications were done in beta PS 2023 except the final filter.
Thanks for your visit, faves, and kind comments.

Isaiah 13:9 “Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, cruel, with fury and burning anger, to make the land a desolation; and He will exterminate its sinners from it.”
Riverside TV Studios and theatre. Hammersmith, London. Not sure if this is the same Dalek I've seen at the BBC studios in central London and they move it around or they have two.
The bears will be exterminated as they were exterminated in the 19th century. Human beings have made no progress in their relationship with animals. The Earth is ours, only ours as humans: this is the common feeling.
Now in Trentino (Italy) it has also been decided to kill M90 (Sonny) and 8 other bears every year.
A protest demonstration is planned in the square in Trento for Saturday 4 February.
Man, you will be alone on Earth, having destroyed it and left nothing for future generations. Profit here and now: this obviously matters to people.
Stermineranno gli orsi come sono stati sterminati nell'800. L'essere umano non ha fatto nessun progresso nel rapporto con gli animali. La Terra è nostra, solo nostra di noi umani: questo è il sentimento comune.
Ora è stata decisa in Trentino anche l'uccisione di Sonny (M90) e prossimamente di 8 orsi l'anno.
E' prevista una manifestazione di protesta in piazza a Trento per sabato 4 febbraio.
Uomo, sarai solo sulla Terra, dopo averla distrutta e non aver lasciato nulla alle future generazioni. Il profitto qui e ora: questo conta evidentemente per le persone.

When I saw Snugbury's hay sculpture this year I was so excited. I'm a huge Doctor Who fan and the Dalek's we're always my favourite.
I'd been meaning to do it from the moment it was put up but the weather just wasn't right, Then Phil and Carl text me to go and do it and the weather was perfect.
Did face a few problems when we got there. There was a giant light illuminating it, not good for a star trail, so we set looking for a plug to turn it off, then it comes to life "EXTERMINATE!" starts moving it's head and lighting up. Scared everyone, but was a laugh, and not being too subtle at the same time.
So having to kee 10ft away at all times, I put a microfibre cloth over the light and we got trailing. This was 1 hour long.
Really happy with the result, such a unique subject.
Enjoy!

Foto presa amb una Rolleiflex Old Standard fabricada el 1936; objectiu Carl Zeiss Tessar f3.5 / 75mm; filtre groc; pelicula Ilford HP5+ 400, revelada amb Atomal 49 sense diluir. Aquesta càmera és contemporania a aquests fets.
L'edifici de les cambres de gas de Majdanek és complexe i diferent d'altres exemples coneguts, pel que no va ser fins que el vaig visitar que el vaig entendre. De fet, fins el 1946 l'estructura era lleugerament diferent (però que això no dongui ales als negacionistes). A la part frontal hi ha una serie de cambres dedicades a "processar" els presoners nous: desvestir-se, dutxar-se i sales per desinfectar roba (amb Zyklon-B, també). Però a la part final del edifici hi ha 3 habitacions no de fusta com la resta sino de maons i ciment, incloent el sostre. Son les cambres de gas per al extermini de presoners. Actualment el mateix sostre continua des de la part "no mortal" del edifici vers les cambres de gas, però fins 1946 tenien un sostre separat, molt més alt, com un cobert. El que va passar fou que ja després de la guerra una tempesta va fer malbé part d'aquesta estructura de fusta i es decidí desmantellar-la. Tot està documentat fotogràficament, pel que no és cap conspiració. Ja detallaré les cambres de gas més endavant, en fotografies digitals (ja que és massa fosc per la Rolleiflex).

Al sudoest de la ciutat de Lublin hi ha el inmens camp de concentració de Majdanek (tot i que el seu nom oficial alemany era KZ Lublin). La seva inmensitat i construcció completament en fusta recorda molt a Auschwitz II (Birkenau), probablement perquè ambdós tenien un objectiu teoric inicial semblant (camp per presoners de guerra-esclaus d'origen sovietic). Però evolucionaren de manera molt diferent. Majdanek és, encara que costi de creure, més gran que Birkenau (el vaig recorrer de punta a punta i ho vaig poder comprovar); i a sobre només representa 1/5 part de la seva superficie teorica original.
El seu paper fou ambivalent. Començà, el juliol de 1941, com a camp de concentració com a reserva de ma d'obra esclava, principalment jueus, així com centre de classificació i distribució de tot el material robat a les victimes de la Aktion Reinhard. La duresa del treball i les malalties incrementaren la mortaldat i es construiren cambres de gas i més tard, un forn crematori. Les cambres de gas son una mena d'hibrid entre els models de monoxid de carboni de la Aktion Reinhard, que logicament tenien com a referent, però també agafaren elements ja provats a Auschwitz, pel que podien fer servir, també Zyklon-B.
Un dels fets essencials per donar importancia a Majdanek es que va caure en mans sovietiques bastant per sorpresa, el 23 de juliol de 1944, i els nazis no varen poder destruir ni les cambres de gas ni els forns crematoris (tot i que incendiaren l'edifici de fusta d'aquests). Això exposà a ulls del món per primer cop un camp de concentració "gros". Unes 80.000 persones moriren a Majdanek, tot i que algunes fonts citen el doble.
Amb tot val la pena recordar que els sovietics, que per una part mostraren els horrors nazis de Majdanek, el que portà a que fos el primer KZ museitzat del món (just pocs mesos despres del alliberament!), per altra banda I AL MATEIX TEMPS el varen fer servir per reprimir als polonesos desafectes al nou regim comunista, fins a inicis del 1945, en que els deportaren cap al Gulag.
Aquesta foto forma part de tot un viatge pel centre de Polònia, enfocat especialment en els més tragics moments del Holocaust i la II Guerra Mundial, que esclafà Polonia com pocs llocs, però que alhora contrasta amb l'increible renaixement del país fins al moment actual.

=============================================
Picture taken with my Rolleiflex Old Standard made in 1936; Carl Zeiss Tessar f3.5 75mm lens with yellow filter; Ilford HP5+ 400 film, developed in stock Atomal 49. This camera is contemporary with this events.
The Majdanek gas chamber building is complex and different from other known examples, so it wasn't until I visited it that I understood it. In fact, until 1946 the structure was slightly different (but don't let that give wings to the negationists). In the front part there are a series of rooms dedicated to "processing" new prisoners: undressing, showering and rooms for disinfecting clothes (with Zyklon-B, too). But at the end of the building there are 3 rooms not made of wood like the rest but of bricks and cement, including the roof. These are the gas chambers for the extermination of prisoners. Currently the same roof continues from the "non-lethal" part of the building towards the gas chambers, but until 1946 they had a separate roof, much higher, like a shed. What happened was that after the war a storm damaged part of this wooden structure and it was decided to dismantle it. Everything is documented photographically, so it's not a conspiracy. I'll detail the gas chambers later, in digital photos (as it's too dark for the Rolleiflex).

Southwest of the city of Lublin is the immense concentration camp of Majdanek (although its official German name was KZ Lublin). Its immensity and entirely wooden construction are very reminiscent of Auschwitz II (Birkenau), probably because both had a similar initial theoretical objective (camp for prisoners of war-slaves of Soviet origin). But they evolved in very different ways. Majdanek is, although it is hard to believe, larger than Birkenau (I walked it from end to end and was able to verify this); and on top of that it only represents 1/5 of its original theoretical area.
Its role was ambivalent. It began, in July 1941, as a concentration camp as a reserve of slave labor, mainly Jews, as well as a center for sorting and distributing all the material stolen from the victims of Aktion Reinhard. The harshness of the work and diseases increased the mortality rate and gas chambers were built and later, a crematorium. The gas chambers are a kind of hybrid between the carbon monoxide models of Aktion Reinhard, which they logically had as a reference, but they also took elements already tested in Auschwitz, so they could use, also Zyklon-B.
One of the essential facts to give importance to Majdanek is that it fell into Soviet hands quite by surprise, on July 23, 1944, and the Nazis were unable to destroy either the gas chambers or the crematoriums (although they burned down the wooden building of these). This exposed a "large" concentration camp to the world's eyes for the first time. About 80,000 people died in Majdanek, although some sources cite twice as many.
However, it is worth remembering that the Soviets, who on the one hand showed the Nazi horrors of Majdanek, which led to it being the first KZ museum in the world (just a few months after the liberation!), on the other hand AND AT THE SAME TIME used it to repress Poles disaffected with the new communist regime, until early 1945, when they deported them to the Gulag.
This photo is part of a trip through central Poland, focused especially on the most tragic moments of the Holocaust and World War II, which devastated Poland like few places, but which at the same time contrasts with the incredible rebirth of the country up to the present day.

Personally I found this shot really difficult, there's a lot going on and I had trouble getting a decent angle.
Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp was the largest camp in the Third Reich. According to historical investigations, 1,5 million people, among them a great number of Jews, were systematically starved, tortured and murdered in this camp.
Auschwitz - Birkenau is the symbol of holocaust and humanity's cruelty to its fellow human beings in the 20th century.
In June 2007, The World Heritage Committee has approved Poland's request to change the name of Auschwitz on UNESCO's World Heritage List. After international consultations, the property, listed as "Auschwitz Concentration Camp" in 1979, is to have the title of "Auschwitz Birkenau" and the subtitle of "German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp (1940-1945). July 2nd 2007 was also the 60th anniversary of oppening Auschwitz Museum.
on picture:
"Death Wall." From 1941-1943, the SS shot several thousand people at the Death Wall in the courtyard between Blocks No. 10 and 11. Those who died here were mostly Polish political prisoners, and above all leaders and members of the underground organization, people involved in planning escapes and aiding escapees, and those maintaining contacts with the outside world
say the daleks....Years ago (like 40+) the producers asked kids to write new episodes of Dr. Who. The results proved too violent to produce.
