“The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.”

I should have been photographing my grandchildren climbing on the fallen trees but was taken with this small patch of bark detail on one of the trees. The resulting image was dry, dull & flat but returning a couple of days later after rain the colours and detail were really brought to life.
I first came to Looe on the south-east coast of Cornwall with my parents in the mid-1950s, when I remember playing on these rocks. My father bought a little hand fishing line from a shop in Looe, and I prised limpets off the rocks to act as bait. Eventually I caught a shanny in one of the large rock pools. This was a little fish about four inches long, and I managed to extract the hook and put the fish back in the sea. It was the only fish I've ever caught, though I did once manage to put the hook into my finger. But that's another story.
If you enlarge the picture you'll see the Eddystone lighthouse on the horizon, just to the left of the boat. That's nearly 15 miles away.
Started to watch 'Tales from the Loop' recently and inspired to build some retro-futuristic MOCs.

Fofurasfelinas Kitty Tips
Tip 25
[...] Sometimes offering food in a different location can make a difference in a cats desire or willingness to eat. This is especially true in cats that have been ill and are regaining their appetite. Cats are funny and can have a "memory" of being sick with a particular food or in a particular location. Sometimes the location can be a different room as well as a different location on the floor or counter.
Another thing that will stimulate some cats to eat is a different bowl. This sounds too simple but some cats will really have a preference as to the style and substrate of a bowl. Some cats prefer a very shallow bowl or dish so their whiskers are not stimulated while they are eating. One thing you can do is take your cats current food and offer it in his regular feeding bowl, a deeper bowl, a more shallow bowl or a flat plate. See which one he goes to.
Some cats really like for you to offer different foods. If you are feeding dry, sometimes offering a different dry or canned can stimulate some cats to eat. If you are feeding canned - offering a different canned or pouched food can help your cat to eat.

Definition: a small elite securing and extracting ("raking in") an excessive slice of the economic cake without investing in the common good. In the UK, this has created a high-inequality, high-poverty cycle. This cycle is the responsibility of the British Tory Party and, consequentially, the rake ought to be its visual signature - not the tree.

The Lake District is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, it is famous for its lakes, forests and mountains (or fells). It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. All the land in England higher than 3,000 feet (914 m) above sea level lies within the National Park, including Scafell Pike, the highest mountain in England. It also contains the deepest and largest natural lakes in England Wast Water and Windermere respectively.
Le Lake District est une région montagneuse située dans le Nord-Ouest de l'Angleterre. Très appréciée comme destination de vacances, elle est renommée en raison de ses lacs et montagnes (ou collines) En plus la région a été ajoutée à la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'humanité, par l'UNESCO. Tous les sommets d'Angleterre s'élevant à plus de 900 mètres d'altitude se trouvent dans le parc, notamment Scafell Pike, le point culminant de l'Angleterre. Il contient également les lacs les plus profonds et les plus grands d'Angleterre.
Der Lake District (deutsch „Seebezirk“) ist einer von fünfzehn Nationalparks des Vereinigten Königreichs. Als erster Nationalpark des Vereinigten Königreichs erhielt er im Juli 2017 den Status eines UNESCO-Welterbes. Er liegt in der Grafschaft Cumbria im Nordwesten Englands rund 130 km von Manchester entfernt und erstreckt sich über 2172 km². Die Cumbrian Mountains machen einen Großteil der eindrucksvollen Berg- und Seenlandschaft aus. Alle geographischen Punkte über 3000 Fuß (914,4 m) in England liegen im Lake District, ebenso der größte natürliche See Englands, der Windermere.

Reflexione Cristiana | Los desastres han llegado uno tras otro, ¿ha aprovechado usted la oportunidad que Dios permite al hombre que se arrepienta?
El terremoto, la inundación y la hambruna también son frecuentes y cada vez más graves. Todos sabemos que hay permiso de Dios cuando se producen los desastres. Pero, ¿se ha preguntado alguna vez: cuál es la voluntad de Dios detrás de los desastres y cómo podemos ser protegidos en medio de ellos?
👇
Dios Todopoderoso dice: “Cuando [la humanidad] llena de corrupción y hasta un punto doloroso le desobedeció a Dios, Él tuvo que destruirla por Su carácter y Su esencia, y de acuerdo con Sus principios. Pero por Su esencia, Dios siguió compadeciéndose de ella, y hasta quiso usar diversas formas para redimirla, a fin de que continuase viviendo. El hombre, sin embargo, se opuso a Dios, siguió desobedeciéndole y se negó a aceptar Su salvación, es decir, se negó a aceptar Sus buenas intenciones. No importa cómo lo llamó Dios, le recordó, le proveyó, lo ayudó o toleró, el hombre no lo entendía ni lo apreciaba, ni le prestaba atención. En Su dolor, Dios no olvidó concederle al hombre Su máxima tolerancia, esperando que el hombre cambie de rumbo. Después de alcanzar Su límite, hizo lo que tuvo que hacer sin dudarlo. En otras palabras, hubo un período y un proceso específicos desde el momento en que Dios planeó destruir la humanidad hasta el comienzo de Su obra de destrucción de la misma. Este proceso existió con el propósito de capacitar al hombre para que cambiase de rumbo, y esta fue la última oportunidad que Dios le dio al hombre. ¿Qué hizo Dios, pues, en este período anterior a la destrucción de la humanidad? Llevó a cabo una cantidad significativa de trabajo recordatorio y de exhortación”.
Extracto de “La Palabra manifestada en carne”
👇
De las palabras de Dios, vemos que Dios posee la esencia justa y santa. En los últimos días, los seres humanos llevan una vida licenciosa para comer, beber y divertirse, compitiendo y luchando entre sí por su propio beneficio, están llenos de mentiras y violencia; nadie busca el camino verdadero, encima niegan abiertamente la existencia de Dios, e incluso los creyentes también siguen la tendencia del mundo y buscan el dinero, la fama y la fortuna, codiciando los placeres carnales y viviendo en el pecado, sin ser capaces de liberarse de él. Toda la humanidad se ha corrompido hasta el punto de que Dios la odia y tiene que destruirla. Pero debido a que las razas humanas fueron creadas por Dios y Él no puede soportar destruirlas, sigue haciendo la obra de salvarlas.
👇
Ahora los desastres están cayendo una tras otra, lo cual es el recordatorio y la advertencia de Dios a la humanidad corrupta, y Él les da a las personas la oportunidad de arrepentirse ante Él, para que aquellos que tienen corazón y espíritu se den cuenta de que las profecías del regreso del Señor se han cumplido y de que lo más urgente es apresurarse a buscar Su aparición y obra en los últimos días y aceptar Su salvación plena. Por lo tanto, a través de la llegada de estas calamidades Dios le da la última oportunidad a la gente para que se arrepienta, y debemos aprovechar esta ocasión única.

I can never resist FebRovery, and wasn’t going to let my tiny rover from the Astro Warden be my only contribution! This mining vehicle brought back lots of memories of playing with Power Miners and was a ton of fun to build. I managed to utilize some interesting yellow elements I’ve had around for a while along with the unusual sand blue technic column.
The saw arm can rotate 360° and extend or retract for mining or transit mode. The windscreen also opens, and the whole roof can be removed for easier access to the cabin.
Full credit for the wheel design goes to Frost.

The extractor spins one way then the other to empty the honey from the cells in the frames. The honey goes into a sump, the wax is trapped in the first compartment and then honey collects in the next one until it is pumped out. We sell our honey but are not going to be well off any day soon 😊
The Zollverein Coal Mine Complex in Essen (More images in my series Zollverein) is one of the most impressive surviving examples of industrial culture from the modern era.
With their design of the central shaft facilities for Shaft XII, built between 1928 and 1932, Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer created the single most important part of the complex, both technically and architecturally. The industrial monument has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001.
The site of the Zollverein coal mine and coking plant stands symbolises industrial history and structural transformation in the economy. Here, Schupp and Kremmer created a high-performance industrial complex with clear aesthetics and a high degree of functionality. Symmetry, axiality and gradation of scale – the organising principles of the modernist formal idiom – came into their own here in a new context.
The curtain wall façades, designed in the style of New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) and made of a steel framework inset with clinker bricks, earned the colliery the reputation of being “the most beautiful coal mine in the world”, even back in its working days. Clearly visible from afar, the 55-metre-high double winding tower rises above the other buildings as an icon of mining architecture and a symbol for the entire Ruhr region. Years later, Fritz Schupp built the Zollverein Coking Plant, which went into operation in 1961, in the same style as the coal mine complex. In its day, the mine was regarded as the largest and most efficient one in the world. An era came to an end when the coal mine ceased operations in 1986 and the coking plant in 1993. A total of 600,000 people were employed here and coal was last extracted from a depth of 1,000 metres.
In the context of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) Emscher Park, the facility, which is protected as a historical monument, was promoted as a model project; the first phase of refurbishment began in 1989. Today, the Zollverein complex is the central anchor point of the Route of Industrial Heritage – a 400-kilometre-long trail along the industrial and cultural heritage of the Ruhr region. Based on a master plan by Rem Koolhaas and his firm OMA in collaboration with the architectural firm of Heinrich Böll, the site was transformed with conversions and new buildings by Norman Foster and SANAA into a site for culture, business and education. Today, the Zollverein is a popular tourist destination that is home to the Ruhr Museum, the Red Dot Design Museum, the Zollverein Monument Trail, and the new Folkwang University of the Arts with its design department, plus the studios and ateliers of four dozen creative companies.
Back from a couple of days in the lakes. More walking than photography, but timed a quick visit to Wastwater to capture this.

All argan sold today is produced by a women's cooperative that shares the profits among the local women of the Berber tribe. The cooperative has established an ecosystem reforestation project so that the supply of argan oil will not run out and the income that is currently supporting the women will not disappear. The money is providing healthcare and education to the local women, and supporting the entire community as a whole.
Argan oil is an oil produced from the kernels of the endemic argan tree, that is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties. The tree, a relict species from the Tertiary age, is extremely well adapted to drought and other environmentally difficult conditions of southwestern Morocco. The species Argania once covered North Africa and is now endangered and under protection of UNESCO.[1] The Argan tree grows wild in semi-desert soil, its deep root system helping to protect against soil erosion and the northern advance of the Sahara.[2] This biosphere reserve, the Arganeraie Biosphere Reserve, covers a vast intramontane plain of more than 2,560,000 hectares, bordered by the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas Mountains and open to the Atlantic in the west. Argan oil remains one of the rarest oils in the world due the small and very specific growing area.
Argan trees were first reported by the explorer Leo Africanus in 1510. An early specimen was taken to Amsterdam where it was cultivated by Lady Beaufort at Badminton c1711
A late afternoon winter view from the brink of the Upper Tahquamenon Falls- -temperature 5°F / -15°C- -the centre of the falls has become an ice wall. A two second exposure with a Hoya NDX16 four stop solid neutral density filter on a Fuji XE1 + XF 18-55mm.
The upper falls are more 60m / 200 feet across with a drop of approximately 15m / 50 feet with a peak spring runoff volume of nearly 200,000L / 50,000 gallons per second- -making the upper falls one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River. The upper falls lie with in Michigan's Tahquamenon Falls State Park, Luce County. The yellowish / brown colour of the water stems from tannins leached from cedar swamps from the rivers watershed. The foam on the river results from the combination of soft water (low mineral concentration), lignin proteins from decaying organic matter, and turbidity. The Upper Tahquamenon Falls are a 75 mile / 120 kilometer drive from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

"Sandpiper 9 this is Camp 6, come in"
"Sandpiper 9 on station. What's up base?"
"Pack it up, Camp 4 reports Aquashark scouts in their vicinity"
"Negative Camp 6, I just laid into a fresh trench"
"Bruce, fold it up and get back here"
"Chuck, listen man. Is this a real report?"
"What are you sayin?"
"Look, I know he's your kid but-"
"But what."
"I'm just saying.. last week it was a giant squid, the week before that reported Stingrays activity. We got quota to meet and every time we shut down we lose an entire day to reset and refuel"
"Quota doesn't matter when you're dead. Pack it up."
"Missing quota might as well be dead."
"What was that, 9?"
"Nothin. Buckets up, back in 30."
This was built for the WackLUG 2022 BrickCon collab, which was absolutely killer. I've had this conveyor belt in my collection for 15 years, laughing at me because I could never find a good use for it. The collab was the perfect moment to finally get it into something.
