Je suis à la pointe de la technologie des transports : je passe partout même là où des voitures ne le pourraient pas ! Je peux marcher 50km quotidiennement pendant 10 jours sans rien consommer, tout en portant de lourdes charges ! Je cours très vite et l’on me surnomme le vaisseau du désert, le fidèle compagnon des cultures nomades. Attention toutefois à ne pas me confondre avec le chameau qui lui a une deuxième bosse !

Like three years ago, starting the new season with a wonderful and enchanting Hubble's Variable Nebula (NGC 2261)
Previous approach: www.flickr.com/photos/olegbr/8552071862/in/dateposted/
I wanted to personally check whether it still variable ...
It was found that this is so :)
Here animation L-channel 200%: olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Of course, 3 years - a very large interval for observing the changes in the nebula. Everything is much faster: www.umanitoba.ca/science/astronomy/cbrown/imaging/hvn/ana...
In 2013-2016 animation, I drew attention to the star just above the nebula, which is for 3 years significantly shifted to the right.
To heighten the effect, combined with the current picture image DSS., For about 60 years, the offset is already pretty decent. olegbr.astroclub.kiev.ua/files/astrofoto/NGC2261/NGC2261_...
Here www.astrosurf.com/mcianci/ngc2261.html Italian colleague calculated that the proper motion (proper motion) of the star 0.2" per year. The name is NLTT 16798 and is listed as High Proper Motion Star: simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=NLTT+16798
Explanation: What causes Hubble's Variable Nebula to vary? The unusual nebula pictured above changes its appearance noticeably in just a few weeks. Discovered over 200 years ago and subsequently cataloged as NGC 2661, the remarkable nebula is named for Edwin Hubble, who studied it earlier this century. Hubble's Variable Nebula is a reflection nebula made of gas and fine dust fanning out from the star R Monocerotis. The faint nebula is about one light-year across and lies about 2500 light-years away towards the constellation of Monocerotis. A leading variability explanation for Hubble's Variable Nebula holds that dense knots of opaque dust pass close to R Mon and cast moving shadows onto the reflecting dust seen in the rest of the nebula.

Looking down on the iconic, colorful glacial waters that make Lake Louise so beloved, and special.
"The reason for the difference? The turquoise lakes are fed by rivers where active glaciers are pushing through rocky valleys upstream. The glaciers function like bulldozers, grinding away and pulverizing rocks along valley floors and walls. The process produces a fine-grained powder of silt and clay—glacial flour—that is picked up by meltwater streams. Also known as rock flour or glacial silt. Since the particles are so fine, they are slow to sink to the bottom, remaining suspended in the water column instead."

"Remember the fallen. Honor those who serve. Teach the next generation the value of freedom."
These are the words from Wreaths Across America's (WAA) website noted as "Our Mission". And, it is clearly observed in their commitment to the soldiers buried across the country in the many "national cemetery's" with the wreaths placed against the headstones. However, this is just one of the many ways that WAA remembers, honors, and teaches the next generation about our fallen. Please check out their website for more information about the many ways they accomplish this goal...
Additionally, the location of the photograph above is the Nashville National Cemetery in Madison, Tennessee (just north of Downtown Nashville) which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). More information about this "national cemetery" can be found here:

Excerpt from www.aab.gov.hk/filemanager/aab/en/content_4/202406_N248_E...:
Tak Wing Pawn Shop
The building at No. 72 Des Voeux Road Central is four-storey high. It is a typical verandah-type shophouse where the front façade projects over the pavement and is supported by two columns to form a covered walkway. It is easily identifiable by the five plastered plaques bearing the Chinese name“德榮大押” on the front façade facing Des Voeux Road Central and the side elevation facing Man Yee Lane (萬宜里). The wall of the side elevation is finished with plaster marked with faux horizontal joint lines. There are altogether 15 metal-framed windows on the side elevation, with one row of four situated slightly higher than the others, which are believed to be the windows for the internal staircase. On the ground floor at the rear elevation is an enclosed backyard. A flagpole used to sit on a short stepped base on the left-hand side of the roof, but it was removed sometime between 1980s and 1990s and only the base remains now.
The building is situated at the intersection of Des Voeux Road Central and Man Yee Lane. Its location on the corner provides a side entrance, catering to customers who wish to avoid being seen entering the pawnshop from the main street.
The unique setting and some iconic features of a traditional pawnshop can still be seen inside the shop on the ground floor today. The main hall features a wooden “shy screen”(遮醜板), in an L-shape, blocking the view inside from the main door and side entrance to protect customers’ privacy. Behind the screen is a high counter that divides the front and back of the shop, where the pawnbroker serves customers. The height of the counter allows the pawnbroker to have a full view of the shop to ensure security. However, both the wooden screen and the finishes of the high counter are relatively new, following recent renovations carried out on the ground floor.
Security is a prime concern for this building, as evidenced by the verandahs on the upper floors, all of which are fitted with green metal grills to safeguard the pawnshop from burglars. Of particular interest are the coin motifs along the bottom of the metal grills, adding some decorative details to the functional design of the building.
The original built form of the building, including the footprint and the verandahs with their supporting columns, has been retained. Various renovations have been carried out over the years on both the exterior and interior of the building on the ground floor, such as the supporting columns and all the walls have been refurbished with new stone tiles and the floor has been laid with new modern tiles.
The changes seem to be mainly confined to the ground floor, whereas the exterior of the upper floors has remained intact. The only exception is that the figure “1940” that was previously painted on the roof parapet has now been removed. Overall, the building has been kept in a generally authentic condition in terms of its built form and original appearance. The building is an example of traditional pawnshop occupying an entire pre-war shophouse. The ground floor still opens for business, while the upper floors, which were previously used to store large pawned items, seem to be vacant. Pre-war shophouses that are entirely dedicated to a single pawnshop are becoming increasingly rare in Hong Kong as a result of urban development.

14 Minutes after Sunrise
Bear Rocks Preserve
Monongahela National Forest
Tucker & Grant Counties, West Virginia
Taken at 6:11 a.m. May 26, 14 minutes after sunrise, this shows an intense orange glow even through a heavy cloud. Orange color in the sky had been increasing for several minutes, but this was about the peak of the morning color. The the scene was bathed in the warm light of early morning for several minutes -- all in all, a very beautiful start to the day, well worth our early departure from Canaan Valley Lodge. The unusual landscape of the Bear Rocks Preserve is worth the drive and the grand vistas are a great bonus.

The sheer size and scale of these Ice Caves and frozen waterfalls are a wonder to behold...
www.nps.gov/apis/naturescience/caves.htm
On March 3, 2014, I had the delight of visiting the Ice Caves of northern Wisconsin.
The Apostle Islands Ice Caves have made national and international news this winter because of the rare opportunity to walk onto frozen Lake Superior and hike the mile to the caves on the shoreline. This happens every six to ten years or so, depending on the temperatures and their duration, making it safe to walk onto Lake Superior.

From a brief editorial portrait session with Ohio's Gov-elect Ted Strickland. Although I spent no more than five minutes with camera in hand shooting portraits, this photo took almost an hour to arrange at his inaugural headquarters.
Technical details: D200, two SB800s fired with Pocket Wizards, a small nearly bare bulb optical slave in his hands. Much gnashing of teeth trying to balance desired depth of field, exposures and hands placement.

A Desert Park
www.nps.gov/jotr/planyourvisit/desertpark.htm
Joshua Tree National Park is immense, nearly 800,000 acres, and infinitely variable. It can seem unwelcoming, even brutal during the heat of summer when, in fact, it is delicate and extremely fragile. This is a land shaped by strong winds, sudden torrents of rain, and climatic extremes. Rainfall is sparse and unpredictable. Streambeds are usually dry and waterholes are few. Viewed in summer, this land may appear defeated and dead, but within this parched environment are intricate living systems waiting for the opportune moment to reproduce. The individuals, both plant and animal, that inhabit the park are not individualists. They depend on their entire ecosystem for survival.
Two deserts, two large ecosystems primarily determined by elevation, come together in the park. Few areas more vividly illustrate the contrast between “high” and “low” desert. Below 3,000 feet (910 m), the Colorado Desert (part of the Sonoran Desert), occupying the eastern half of the park, is dominated by the abundant creosote bush. Adding interest to this arid land are small stands of spidery ocotillo and cholla cactus.
The higher, slightly cooler, and wetter Mojave Desert is the special habitat of the undisciplined Joshua tree, extensive stands of which occur throughout the western half of the park. According to legend, Mormon pioneers considered the limbs of the Joshua trees to resemble the upstretched arms of Joshua leading them to the promised land. Others were not as visionary. Early explorer John Fremont described them as “…the most repulsive tree in the vegetable Kingdom.”
Standing like islands in a desolate sea, oases provide dramatic contrast to their arid surroundings. Five fan palm oases dot the park, indicating those few areas where water occurs naturally at or near the surface, meeting the special life requirements of those stately trees. Oases once serving earlier desert visitors now abound in wildlife.
The park encompasses some of the most interesting geologic displays found in California’s deserts. Rugged mountains of twisted rock and exposed granite monoliths testify to the tremendous earth forces that shaped and formed this land. Arroyos, playas, alluvial fans, bajadas, pediments, desert varnish, granites, aplite, and gneiss interact to form a giant mosaic of immense beauty and complexity.
As old as the desert may look, it is but a temporary phenomenon in the incomprehensible time-scale of geology. In more verdant times, one of the Southwest’s earliest inhabitants, members of the Pinto Culture, lived in the now dry Pinto Basin. Later, Indians traveled through this area in tune with harvests of pinyon nuts, mesquite beans, acorns, and cactus fruit, leaving behind rock paintings and pottery ollas as reminders of their passing.
In the late 1800s cattlemen came to the desert. They built dams to create water tanks. They were followed by miners who tunneled the earth in search of gold. They are gone now, but they left behind the Lost Horse and Desert Queen mines and the Keys Ranch. In the 1930s homesteaders came seeking free land and the chance to start new lives. Today many people come to the park’s 794,000 acres of open space seeking clear skies and clean air, and the peace and tranquility, the quietude and beauty, only deserts offer.
The life force is patient here. Desert vegetation, often appearing to have succumbed to this hot sometimes unrelentedly dry environment, lies dormant, awaiting the rainfall and moderate weather that will trigger its growth, painting the park a profusion of colors. At the edges of daylight and under clear night skies lives a number of generally unfamiliar desert animals. Waiting out daytime heat, these creatures run, hop, crawl, and burrow in the slow rhythm of desert life. Under bright sun and blue sky, bighorn sheep and golden eagles add an air of unconcerned majesty to this land.
For all its harshness, the desert is a land of extreme fragility. Today’s moment of carelessness may leave lasting scars or disrupt an intricate system of life that has existed for eons. When viewed from the roadside, the desert only hints at its hidden life. To the close observer, a tiny flower bud or a lizard’s frantic dash reveals a place of beauty and vitality. Take your time as you travel through Joshua Tree National Park. The desert provides space for self-discovery, and can be a refuge for the human spirit.

Explore is a Flickr feature
with the intent of showing you "some of the most awesome photos on Flickr." Photos are automatically selected by computer according to a secret algorithm called Interestingness .
United States Patent Application
...
October 26, 2006
Inventors: Butterfield; Daniel S.; (San Francisco, CA) ; ff
OnExplore, Explore, inExplore, onExplore, explored
The top 500 photos ranked by Interestingness are shown in Explore. Interestingness rankings are calculated automatically by a secret computer algorithm. The algorithm is often referred to by name as the Interestingness algorithm. Although the algorithm is secret, Flickr has stated that many factors go into calculating Interestingness including: a photo's tags, how many groups the photo is in, views, favorites, where click-throughs are coming from, who comments on a photo and when, and more.
The velocity of any of those components is a key factor. For example, getting 20 comments in an hour counts much higher than getting 20 comments in a week.

The ESA (European Space Agency) and NASA mission SOHO — short for Solar and Heliospheric Observatory — got a visit from an old friend this week when comet 96P entered its field of view on Oct. 25, 2017. The comet entered the lower right corner of SOHO's view, and skirted up and around the right edge before leaving on Oct. 30. SOHO also spotted comet 96P in 1996, 2002, 2007 and 2012, making it the spacecraft's most frequent cometary visitor.

Eugene Landry: An Artist, a Time and a Tribe
May 28-29, 2022
Shoalwater Bay Heritage Museum of the Shoalwater Bay Tribe, Tokeland, Washington.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portrait of an Artist
Eugene ''Gene'' Landry (1937-1988) was a noted Northwest Native artist, who painted from the confines of a wheelchair. His personal story is one of perseverance, of an artist who created despite setbacks, always with humor and style.
Landry's art offers a glimpse into a transitional and little-documented time in Northwest Native history. His paintings are important because they represent a Native artist's portrayal of his own people during a time when Native Americans were erased, marginalized, and misrepresented by stereotypes in media and public education.
Landry painted contemporary portraits of his people, depicting them as they were. As one of his models said, ''We're so small and isolated here. People think we're so different. At one time, we had a bunch of kids from Raymond come down, and they wanted to know where our feathers were."
Gene was born in the village of Taholah on the Quinault Indian
Reservation. His biological mother was Hoh and his father was Quileute and Swedish. As an infant, he was adopted by Myrtle (Charley) and Fred Landry and raised at Georgetown, Myrtle's reservation.
Identity
As the only child of Myrtle and Fred Landry, Gene was well provided for and deeply loved. His biological-mother, Isabelle Hudson, a full-blooded Hoh, is remembered as having dark reddish-brown hair. His father, Austin Rosander, was half Quiliuette and half Swedish. Although Gene was adopted as a baby, he maintained ties with his biological family, who lived in Grays Harbor and the surrounding area.
Gene's appearance did not conform to expectations of what an Indian was "supposed to look like." His bright red hair (sometimes referred to as "Hoh River blond") made him stand out. In high school, he styled his hair like James Dean and drove a red 1937 hot rod Ford coupe. He was a gifted athlete, known for his running and boxing prowess, but he wasn't
allowed to run track because he refused to cut his hair.
Gene's art training was not traditional to his culture. He reached advanced levels in art at Aberdeen and Ocosta High Schools, but there were no practitioners of Native arts around to mentor him. He explored and developed his talent using the means available, based on Western European art traditions. He would go on to create art with a native sensibility, using the tools available.
Art Student
Gene trained himself to use his non-dominant left hand to paint. In 1961, he enrolled at the Leon F. Derbyshire School of Fine Arts in Seattle. There was no wheelchair access, so Gene had to be carried up the stairs to the second floor classroom.
In 1962 Gene studied with noted Northwest sculptor Philip Levine at his Phoenix Gallery in Seattle. By 1964, Gene was showing his work and winning acclaim in the Pacific Northwest. Over the next four years, he exhibited at the Frye Museum, the West Coast Annual at the Seattle Civic Center, The Edmonds and Anacortes Art Festivals, and the La Grande All Indian Arts Festivals.
Gene met Sharon Billingsley, a model and painter who attended classes at Derbyshire, and they struck up a friendship that led to romance. The couple could often be found sketching street scenes side by side, Gene in his wheelchair, Sharon next to him on a folding stool.
Gene and Sharon married in California on May 28, 1965. They went to Paris to study art, then returned to the Northwest, living in Seattle, Tacoma, and Georgetown until their marriage ended in 1972.
Back to Georgetown, Washington
In the late l960s, Landry moved back to the Shoalwater Bay Reservation. He set up a studio inside a small cabin that had been moved to the reservation from North Cove's at Washaway Beach. A wheel chair ramp and wrap-around deck made it accessible for plein air painting. Situated on the shore of Shoalwater Bay, Gene painted still-lives utilizing objects that washed in on the tides: glass fishing floats, discolored rope, old bones, shells and feathers.
He also painted still lifes and portraits in oil, using his family and friends as models. These works span a pivotal time in the tribe's history, from near termination to federal recognition.
Fifty years have passed since Gene painted Winona Weber's portrait. When asked why Landry's art matters today, she replied:
“I am a historian at heart. Gene's art is part of our history. Also, a talent like his really deserves to be acknowledged. When I was working with the women's history project, I said I was happy to be breaking some stereotypes of native women. A woman said it should just be commonplace. But first you have to be visible to be usual. I would like to see Gene visible."
Later Years
Gene traveled throughout the Southwest, spending time in New Mexico and Arizona. He traveled to Mexico and the Philippines seeking native healers to help with his deteriorating health. He eventually lost function in his left arm but continued to make art, holding the brush in his teeth to reach higher places on the canvas.
In 1980 Gene moved to Santa Barbara. His house, perched on a bluff overlooking the sea, was filled with art, his own and others. He opened a gallery downtown and championed the work of local artists. In the mid 80s his business partner-who was also his care giver unexpectedly died. His own health declining, Gene returned to his parent's home on the reservation.
Gene Landry died April 7, 1988 at age 51. He is buried next to Myrtle Landry and his relations in the Indian section at Sunset Memorial in Hoquiam, Washington. The Shoalwater Bay Tribe’s Na ‘m ‘sc ‘ac Heritage Museum is located on the former site of the cabin and dome.
Illness, November 1955
The illness came without warning. When 17-year-old Gene suddenly lost consciousness, his parents wrapped him in blankets and drove two hours to Cushman Indian Hospital in Tacoma. There were closer facilities for emergency care, but they did not provide Indian Health services. Gene remained a patient at Cushman for two and a half years, undergoing treatment for tubercular meningitis. The disease paralyzed his legs, and he endured grueling physical therapy, but he continued to work on paintings from a hospital bed.
Gene's parents moved to Tacoma to be closer to the hospital. When Myrtle Landry raised concerns about his condition and the poor care, Gene was abruptly discharged. Myrtle Landry (Washington Women's Heritage Project 1980):
"One doctor said, 'Why don't you just go and leave him and forget about him?' I said, 'Just who do you think you're talking to anyway?' I said, 'I got feelings, even though I'm a full blood Indian, I got feelings.' He said, 'Well, he'll never amount to anything.' I said, 'Well, I'm sure as heck not gonna let him die here.' And boy I raised Cain with 'em. So they told us one day, 'You get out.'
And then the State decided they could do more for him than I could." The decision proved tragic. At a rehabilitation facility on Bainbridge Island, Gene fell while being moved by attendants and suffered a spinal injury. He lost the use of his right arm and the possibility of ever walking again. He was 21 years old.
Bodie is a gold-rush mining ghost town. It boomed between 1859, when W.S. Bodey discovered gold, and the 1930s. Today it is a state landmark and park preserved in an "arrested state of decay."
My imagination ran wild when I tried to picture the hustle and bustle of the old place. Much of what tourists see is what was left in place when it was abandoned long ago.
