It's certainly odd to see these gigantic smokestacks in the middle of almost nowhere.
Navajo Generating Station is a coal-fired powerplant with a power of 2280 megawatts located on the Navajo Indian Reservation, near Page, Arizona, USA. The three 774 ft (236 meter) high chimneys, are among the tallest structures in Arizona. This plant provides electrical power to customers in Arizona, Nevada, and California. It was assembled and began producing commercial power in 1975. The construction costs totaled over $1 billion.
The power plant is served by coal mined at the Kayenta Mine near Kayenta, Arizona, and hauled by the Black Mesa and Lake Powell railroad. The Kayenta mine ships about 8 million tons of coal each year to the power plant.
The Navajo Plant emits 19.9 million tons of CO2 per year.

2018 Edit: I've replaced the original gaudy image, with this more realistic version. I don't know what I was smoking back in 2009, but it wasn't good.

In light of the growing food and energy demands in Africa, the private sector is rallying to participate in the green growth agenda and align with Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), targeting a low carbon transition. Various studies estimate the implementation of NDCs and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will require trillions of dollars by 2030, and many of these projections confirm the private sector will cover a significant portion of this climate investment. The post Covid-19 recovery is still underway, with impacts from the pandemic still being faced by the financial sector and economy at large. In this context, climate-smart investments bring both opportunities and challenges for job creation, inclusion, improving livelihoods, and economic growth. There are multiple climate finance funds and a growing set of climate finance instruments, but the major challenge for the African private sector continues to be access to affordable capital.
This panel, organised by BANK OF AFRICA, highlighted the priority pathways and business models in support of NDCs in Africa, from the perspective of various stakeholders in the private sector. The event aimed to generate a solution-oriented discussion around the gaps and opportunities of sustainable finance in the African context. BANK OF AFRICA Group, a pan-African universal banking group, has established itself as a regional sustainable finance pioneer over the past 15 years, developing various blended finance offers for energy efficiency, water, and waste management in partnership with DFIs, as well as a Green Bond and a Socially Responsible Fund (SRI). BANK OF AFRICA is piloting the Positive Impact Finance initiative methodology heralded by UNEP FI and is a member of the Coordination Group of the Climate Action in Financial Institutions initiative. BANK OF AFRICA’s continuous ambition is to offer innovative financing solutions to challenges faced by the private sector in Africa, especially SMEs, including climate and gender finance.

The NIPSCO Michigan City Generating Station photographed from the draw bridge over Trail Creek. Longbowsnyper and I toured the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore from Michigan City to Portage, IN on our fixed gear bikes. We each had totally manual 35mm cameras with 50 mm lenses and no light meters. The combination of fixed gear bikes and manual film cameras made for a fine Vintage day.
Photographed on Kodak Tri-X 400 film using a Nikon F with a Yellow Wratten 8 filter and polarizer on a Nikkor 50mm f/2 lens. Exposure was by Sunny 16 -2 stops to account for the filters. The camera was at f/5.6 for this shot for better depth of field control.
The Story
The One-Winged Rhenal Calculus Creature
This is a human-generated, hyper-realistic photographic image of a fictional one-winged rhenal calculus creature, filed under the noble banners of still life, abstract photography, conceptual photography, and true photographic vanitas with symbolism.
__________
The wing of this creature, as tradition dictates, does not sprout from its body but lingers as a shadow — a phantom appendage, a deceitful silhouette. For this creature has no ambition to fly. Its purpose is subtler, more insidious: to trick the eye into believing in transcendence, while remaining stubbornly terrestrial, mineral, and cruelly intimate.
The image was generated not in the sterile glow of a laboratory, nor in the sterile glow of a prompt window, but in the dim, private caverns of the author’s InnerMostSpace. It emerged at the precise moment of its liberation, when the body, weary of hosting such an uninvited tenant, expelled it with the reluctant ceremony of pain. This was not a birth, nor a death, but something in between: geological miscarriage, mineral exorcism.
Unlike the digital phantoms of AI art, this creature was coaxed into existence by a prompt of chemicals, a long alchemy of calcium, oxalate, and time. The author’s body served as both crucible and gallery, a living kiln where the slow accretion of salts sculpted a form that no sculptor’s hand could dare to chisel. It is, therefore, one of the most authentic NFTs imaginable: Non-Fungible Torments. Yet, alas, the market is cruel, and the author too obscure to auction his agony for Ethereum. Thus, the image is offered here not as a commodity, but as a testimony — a preview of a series yet to come, a bestiary of SDL InnerSpace where each new creature carves itself out through the author’s unwilling channels.
The stories of SDL InnerSpace tell us that such beings seep from the Conceptual World, slipping through the Big Mesh — that porous veil between thought and matter — until they crystallize in the most fragile architectures of reality. Some choose the brain, where they masquerade as ideas. Others, more mischievous, choose the body, where they masquerade as stones. The author, it seems, has been chosen as a factory of both: a philosopher’s mind and a quarryman’s kidneys, producing artifacts that are at once metaphysical and excruciatingly physical.
So, behold the nephrolythic body of this one-winged impostor. Its surface is rough, like a failed jewel, a parody of preciousness. Its shadow-wing is a cruel joke, repeating that even pain can pretend to be angelic. It is tragic because it hurts, comic because it dares to pose as art, and poetic because it insists on being more than waste.
This is not just a photo. It is a relic of suffering, a shard of autobiography, a mineral metaphor. It is also a contribution to the constant philosophical debate on art, as a proof that art can be generated not only by prompts of words, but by prompts of flesh, chemistry, and endurance.
This is an image from InnerSpace, where the border between the conceptual and the corporeal is thin, and where even the most private agonies can be transfigured into public allegories.
This creature: born of salt, shadow, and sarcasm, is a monument to the absurdity of existence, and to the stubborn artistry of the human body, which insists on producing meaning — even when it hurts.
__________
Other than that, it happened today, exactly at 12:00, after eight days of suffering. I feel though that its other half is on its way too, so I guess I could create a small series to mint on OpenSea.

The Mesh Files
A folding-experiment-series of user generated and computer aided mesh structures with semi flexible material. An originally flat and planar surface is bent as a result of force based deformation.
Resulting folds in the presented artifacts are formed in response to temporarily applied compressive stresses to different sections of the surface. Due to the non-fluid characteristics of the surface, it is not able to deform like an ideal fluid but instead bucks and forms folds.
A two dimensional mesh grid is generated by a custom made software. the amount of cells per gird is based on the amount of cells when folding paper xy-times into half - that is 2 to the power of x for all columns and 2 to the power of y for all rows. Each rectangular cell is divided into 2 triangles by adding a diagonal edge. The mesh now consists of n-amount of edges and m-amount of vertices.
The software allows the user to displace individual vertices of the mesh based on a given set of rules. The vertices located at the boundaries of the mesh can only be moved along its corresponding axis. This restriction allows the mesh to maintain it's original rectangular shape.
Foam board 3mm white is used as source material. Foam board consists of three layers. Enclose the core foam layer is enclosed by 2 layers of paper. The computer generated mesh is projected onto each foam board. During the process of making, the foam core and one paper layer is cut with a pen-knife for every edge of the applied mesh.
