Palisade cruisers formed the backbone of Blocktron security forces operating over Ophlinus. As the nature of threats across Imyr shifted from small pirate raids to major corporate conflict, the versatile vessels saw extensive refits to extend and adapt their service.

Ribbon clouds are a fascinating weather phenomenon. They appear as long, narrow, and wispy cloud formations that resemble ribbons stretching across the sky. These clouds often form when strong winds at different altitudes create layers of air moving at varying speeds, causing the clouds to stretch and align in a ribbon-like pattern.
They can be a harbinger of changing weather, sometimes indicating the approach of a storm or rain. Their delicate and artistic appearance makes them a favorite subject for photographers and sky-watchers.
Thank you for your visit and any faves or comments are always greatly appreciated!

A 026-os Gigant halad a főváros felé tehervonatával Szárligetnél, 2024. december 1-én.

i am still swimming in the sea even though the temperature is dipping below 5°c (41°f). because its dark i don't tend to take my water proof camera to swimming with me. also because its so cold there is not enough time to bang off a roll before you have to get out. but imagine this: 2 days ago what you see in the photo was covered in ice from because of a leaking pipe on the pier. quite surreal swimming round it i can tell you, really wish i had a camera with me.
The Tanah Lot temple was built and has been a part of Balinese mythology for centuries. The temple is one of seven sea temples around the Balinese coast. Each of the sea temples were established within eyesight of the next to form a chain along the south-western coast. However, the temple had significant Hindu influence.

Parking structure at Vallco Mall, Cupertino. Shot with Fuji X100S.
Part one of a two part series on a local mall that is on its last legs. The series starts off in the various parking lots around the mall. I was really drawn to the play of light. All the lots were pretty much empty so I could take my time and not worry about getting run over.

This pond is shrinking, as it does every autumn. The cold is settling in and overnight, ice is beginning to form along the water's edges. So far, it disappears in the 'heat' of the day...
Regardez bien, une forme de visage se dessine sur le rocher, c'est ça une paéridolie, j'avoue que je ne connaissait pas ce mot avant, maintenant je pourrai le recaser en société... si je ne l'ai pas oublié d'ici là !!!
[Willows - English follows]
J'aime les arbres. Ils arrivent à croître dans des conditions difficiles, en enregistrant dans leurs formes les forces qu'ils subissent.
Ces saules croissent sur les lieux d'un quai utilisé de 1909 à 1950. Il n'en reste plus que de la pierre. Les poutres ont été presque toutes été balayées par des grandes marées de plus de 6m, des glaces qui s'empilent et le vent.
I like trees. They are able to thrive in incredible conditions, recording in their shapes the forces they endure.
These willows grow where a dock was operating, between 1909 and 1950. There are only stones left, almost all of the beams were swept away by the high tides, reaching more than 6m (20ft) in this area, the stacking ice blocks and the wind.

Ice that had formed in a meandering stream and 'copied' the shape of the stream in its folds. Sometimes its almost as if the 'ideas' of forms and shapes exist before those forms become manifest in nature and preceed even the physical forces that eventually reveal them
This was the hotel I stayed in in Istanbul earlier this year. I'm just practicing a technique for a forthcoming trip to New York.
I would appreciate really constructive critisism on it

The glacier is formed in the Southern Patagonian Ice Field and runs in a canyon between Cerro Huemul and the Cerro Campana. Under the ice is Viedma volcano that last erupted in 1988.
The butterflies & dragonflies are emerging in my area! On June 5, 2023, I took a walk at Art Omi in Ghent, New York, USA & saw many Little Wood-Satyr Butterflies! This one is posing on a Trillium plant, I think!
La Barraca, construcción rural que forma parte del paisaje valenciano.
La Barraca es la vivienda tradicional valenciana, junto con el plato de la paella y la horchata, constituye uno de los símbolos de la ciudad de Valencia.
La Barraca es una construcción pequeña, con tejado a dos aguas, en la que vivía toda la familia.
La distribución era la siguiente; estaba dividida en 2 dormitorios entre los cuales hay un espacio dedicado a la cocina, que solo se utilizaba en invierno ya que en verano se cocinaba fuera.
Su origen se remonta a las primitivas chozas, y a lo largo de toda la península y al sur de Francia se dan construcciones similares a la barraca, con cubiertas muy pronunciadas y revestidas de elementos vegetales.
Podemos distinguir diferentes tipos; la de huertanos, en la misma huerta, la de pescadores, en la playa y en la Albufera las dos modalidades.
El clima de Valencia y la fertilidad de sus tierras permite varias cosechas al año, con un sistema de cultiva que precisa de especial atención. Este es el motivo por el cual los huertanos construyen sus barracas al pie de la huerta, con materiales que brinda la naturaleza; barro, juncos, cañas y carrizos.
Estas construcciones están rematadas con una cruz, cruz que según la tradición en el siglo XVI servía para diferenciar a los cristianos viejos de los moriscos. Sin embargo, puede que simplemente se trata de un símbolo religioso.
Cabe destacar la novela de “La Barraca” de Vicente Blasco Ibáñez.
Puedes encontrar las barracas en:
El Palmar: entre los campos y la Albufera
El Palmar: junto a uno de los canales
Catarroja: exposición-museo. Junto a la Escuela de Capataces Agrícolas
Cerca del acceso a la Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias
When we returned from our adventure to Raja Ampat aboard the phinisi sailing schooner Ombak Putih, I pitched the Garuda Airlines people to do a story on Alfred Wallace and our recreation of parts of his travels. They agreed and I asked Dr. Tony Whitten, who was the cruise expert, to write the story. Here is the result of our efforts.

Tryfan mountain forms part of the Glyderau group, and is one of the most famous and recognisable peaks in Britain, having a classic pointed shape with rugged crags. At 917.5 m above sea level it is the fifteenth highest mountain in Wales.
