Summer is the perfect time to implement many ideas.
⠀ For example, macro photography of insects🐝.
Having found an unusual frame, your picture can be sold for good money. Where and how this can be done, I wrote in previous posts.
⠀
Wedding 💒. Have you never tried it? Get started. If you are going to develop as a photographer. Experience is always necessary.
⠀ Do you like to travel? Try taking portraits of people. We are all different and unusual, and the eyes are a whole story.
⠀
Also in the summer there are various festivals, a biker congress, beautiful sunrises.
⠀

The week got away from me so just remembered at 8 last night that I hadn't shot anything for this weeks theme. Rummaged through the kitchen until I came across this handy dandy little gem. A thingamajig to get your olives out of jars and cans.

GroundHawks proved fairly successful when first implemented in the Falkriane wars. Their high rate of speed and higher accuracy rates due to increased stability greatly changed the current battlefield tactics. Their blitzkrieg style of attack confused and devastated opposing front lines and quickly had the enemies caught in their own crossfire. Almost when it seemed they would prove unbeatable on the battlefield the opposing Tillariants noticed something. What the GroundHawks gained in speed they lost in turning ability. This knowledge spread rapidly amongst the pilots and lead them to use the landscape to lure the GroundHawks into area's and situations where sharp turns are required, thus reducing their speed and levelling the playing field. This development contributed to prolonging the wars for another two decades.
A more unconventional mech design - although it has been done before. I thought
I would try it on this one, because if I'm going to pump out DBG mecha, I might as well try to keep it interesting. It was originally going to be a bi-ped but I took a different route based on weekend time constraints. The antler guns were also stolen off another one of my mecha.

This lovely old building could have been a house in the old days - of the mid 1950's. Upon looking through the window, there were old farm implements and rustic tools left behind.

Due to the invasion of southern and eastern European nations by the Warsaw Pact, the EU has sent back their troops to Europe from America to prepare and strategize a retaliation. Due to this soldiers now have a much more common presence in the daily lives of civilians. All forces will be used to create an advantage, even the Leaning Tower of Pisa will be used as a watch tower in Italy. The preparations are almost complete.

Doing something very interesting with the leaning tower of pisa was harder than I thought if I wanted it to be pretty accurate, so this is more of a tone scene rather than a detailed one to be more accurate to the area.
A safety razor is a shaving implement with a protective device positioned between the edge of the blade and the skin. The initial purpose of these protective devices was to reduce the level of skill needed for injury-free shaving, thereby reducing the reliance on professional barbers. The term was first used in a patent issued in 1880

Close up photograph of kitchen implements.
When looking for subjects to test (otherwise know as “get to know”) a new camera or lens, it is amazing what things one can find to photograph! This week I’m trying to get up to speed on a new camera — more about that below — and how it works with some lenses I already have. On this evening I slapped a macro lens on the thing and headed to the kitchen to photograph… a whisk, blender blades, coffee cups, and others stuff that was lying around.
It is important to me to both understand objectively how my camera equipment functions and to develop an intuitive familiarity with it. The former helps me make smart decisions, and the latter is very important in the field, where I don’t want to get stuck wondering how the gear works. In this case, the new equipment is a Fujifilm X-T5 that I got to upgrade from the XPro2 that I’ve been using for my “small camera” photography for the past few years. For this photograph and a few others like it I put the Fujifilm 80mm macro on the camera.

Heres a shot of my latest find. An old rusty, crusty, planter/ fertilizer made by Moline. I just put the post fence up this evening, and will be planting flowers around it. I love old farm implements. One of the seed decanters is still somewhat in tact, so I put daisys in it.
With it now 5 months since lockdown restrictions were implemented due to COVID-19, airlines are very slowly starting to see demand returning although this maybe scuppered in part due to spikes in cases being reported.
For Finnair, the carrier was supposed to be operating 7 daily or 49 weekly flights for the S20 schedule with 2 wide-body (one Airbus A350-900 in the morning and one Airbus A330-300 in the evening) and 5 narrow-body flights providing the work. That hasn't happened as capacity has significantly dropped with only 15 weekly flights being provided with Airbus A321s being utilised.
Prior to this, Airbus A330-300s became a common sight at London Heathrow following the W18 schedule whereby between 19th November 2018 to 23rd November 2018, Airbus A330-300s replaced Airbus A350-900s on Monday and Friday, and later from 30th November 2018 until 15th March 2019, Airbus A330-300s operated on Fridays only with Airbus A350-900s operating for the rest of the week on AY1331/1332.
For the S19 schedule, Airbus A330-300s got their own dedicated flight from 31st March 2019 when AY1337/1338 was converted from Airbus A320 family aircraft whilst AY1331/1332 retained Airbus A350-900s on all days although Airbus A330-300s would often substitute.
Now, Finnair is only providing a skeleton service between London Heathrow and Helsinki with only 15 weekly flights provided by Airbus A320 family aircraft, mainly Airbus A321s. The vast majority of their Airbus A330-300s are currently in storage at Helsinki whilst their Airbus A350-900s see work providing cargo and limited commercial flights on long-haul sectors.
Currently, Finnair have 8 Airbus A330s, all of which are Airbus A330-300s. So far, 7 out of 8 Airbus A330-300s are currently in short-term storage.
Lima Tango November is one of 8 Airbus A330-300s currently in Finnair fleet, delivered new to the flag-carrier on 24th April 2009, later leased from Novus Aviation Capital between March 2014 until March 2019 where her lease transferred from DVB Bank and she is powered by 2 General Electric CF6-80E1A4 engines. She has not operated a commercial flight since 11th March 2020 and is currently in storage at Helsinki-Vantaa.

Trees on a windy day.
Well this was a fun playtime for Sliders Sunday.
The idea and the implementation were relatively simple, but by the time I explain it, you won't be convinced. That will be my fault though in trying to document what I ended up doing :(
And the whole reason for explaining things is to try and encourage other folk to have fun too. Kind of shooting myself with my own rifle...
The idea: trees in woods move a surprising amount on windy days. It's scary looking up and seeing a big beech swaying by ten or twenty feet above your head. Take a series of shots looking up and stack them as a kind of multiple-exposure just to show what goes on.
The implementation: point camera up and hold the shutter in continuous burst mode. This is nine images stacked thuswise.
First mistake: the burst just took over a second according to the camera metadata so not much movement (a tree swaying takes several seconds) - but enough! You can see that the higher thinner branches move more so their patterns are more spread out giving a brushlike effect.
Stacked in Affinity Photo which is really easy. You could also do it in Photoshop.
I actually stacked it five different ways using different mathematical operators (I was just thinking: try them all and pick the ones with pretty colours - AP gives you a preview just mousing over the operator list).
Second mistake: to be honest, that’s overkill. Most of the individual stacking operators produced intriguing results by themselves. I was just trying to make the fun last longer :)
Blended the layers together using different blend modes. Again just keep adding the different stack versions and go for a blend mode that looks pretty or interesting. The Minimum version of the stack gave you nine images of each branch like a rake brush effect which I liked so I emphasised that.
So that got us the basic result. The rest was just finishing.
There seemed to be a problem with the end product - there was a quite a lot of grainy pixelation (inherent in some of the blend modes). So I used a Maximum Blur filter at a low resolution to clump up the pixels a bit. More painterly that way, or so the thinking went...
Then a Curves adjustment in LAB mode to brighten the image and increase the contrast, enhance the colours (the basic strange colours came out of some of the stacking variants, but stacking tends to reduce contrast and saturation too so I tried to counter that).
Then two tweaks I feel naked without: sharpening (with Unsharp Mask) and a vignette (slight dark one here).
And we are done. And I have had fun. And you are exhausted :(
As usual for this group I shall post a link to one of the in-camera originals that were stacked, in the first comment.
Thank you for taking time to look. Especially at one of these Sliders Sundays strange manifestations of captured imagery…
I hope you enjoy it! Happy Sliders Sunday :)
[For what it's worth here are the details of the blended layers, all at 100% opacity.
Base layer: Range operator (Normal);
Next layer: Median operator, Difference blend;
Next: Outlier operator, Negation blend;
Next: Maximum operator, Negation blend;
Top: Minimum operator, Luminosity blend. This was the one with that most emphasised all the stripey branches :)

In 1944 Aalto was commissioned to design and implement a town plan for Säynätsalo, a small factory town founded around Johan Parviaisen Tehtaat wood-processing mills, from 1946 operated by Enso-Gutzeit (now part of Stora Enso), whose headquarters in Helsinki he also designed. The town hall would be built at a later date after Aalto won a government-mandated competition for its design. Aalto constructed the building into the wooded hillside of Säynätsalo creating a three-story multi-purpose building surrounding an elevated courtyard.
The design of the Town Hall was influenced by both Finnish vernacular architecture and the humanist Italian renaissance. It was the Italian Renaissance from which Aalto drew inspiration for the courtyard arrangement which informed the name of his original competition entry entitled "Curia." While the main program of the building is housed within a heavy brick envelope, the courtyard is bordered by a glass-enclosed circulation space which can be linked to the model of an arcade-bordered Piazza.
It was important to Aalto that the design represent democracy and the people's relationship with the government which is why he included a large public space, along with sections dedicated to the public.
The town hall is crowned by the council chamber, a double-height space which is capped by the Aalto-designed "Butterfly" trusses. The trusses support both the roof and the ceiling, creating airflow to manage condensation in the winter and heat in the summer. The butterfly truss eliminates the need for multiple intermediate trusses. It also gives call to medieval and traditional styles. The council Chamber is approached from the main entrance hall a floor below via a ramp which wraps around the main tower structure under a row of clerestory ribbon windows.
Aalto constrained his material palate to one dominated by brick and accented by timber and copper. Though Aalto practiced at the same time as Modernist Architects Le Corbusier and others, he rejected the Machine Aesthetic for the majority of his architecture. Instead, he saw his buildings as organisms made of up of individual cells. This principle informed Aalto's use of traditional building materials such as brick which is, by nature, cellular. The bricks were even laid slightly off-line to create a dynamic and enlivened surface condition due to the shadows.
The massive brick envelope is punctuated by periods of vertical striation in the form of timber columns which evoke Säynätsalo's setting in a heavily forested area.
Another distinctive feature at Säynätsalo are the grass stairs which complement a conventional set of stairs adjacent to the tower council chambers. The grass stairs also evoke notions of ancient Greek and Italian architecture through the establishment of a form resembling a simple amphitheater condition.

This is a test of developing Kodak Vision color projection film as black and white negative. There's a lot of potential here, but it's acting weird. I think this film might want a more active developer.
the implements I prepared so as to facilitate giving Sonya water when she becomes weak as she can't drink by herself. But I didn't use that, because she had drunk water by herself until just before her death for luckily and fortunately. Sonya passed away by cardiomyopathy on the morning of October 6th, 2025. She was 7 and a half years-old.

The History of Maple Syrup
The process of making maple syrup is an age-old tradition of the First Nations people, who used it both as a food and a medicine. They would make incisions into trees with stone and bone implements their tomahawks and use birch bark containers to collect the sap. The sap could be reduced into syrup by evaporating the excess water by plunging hot stones into the sap. They also increased the sugar content by removing the frozen water layer after the nightly freezing of the sap. When the early European settlers came to North America, they learned from the Nativesthe Aboriginal people that sap could be made into sugar. They European settlers had access to metals and used their metaliron tools to tap the trees and then boiled the sap in the iron or copper kettles. Maple syrup was the preferred sweetener used by the early settlers since white refined sugar from the West Indies was highly taxed and very expensive. As white refined sugar became less expensive, it began to replace maple syrup and maple sugar as a relied-upon sweetener. Maple syrup production is now approximately one-fifth of what it was in the beginning of the 20th century. In Canada, sugar maples are only found in select regions.

Ukraine’s priorities include joining NATO, implementing the decisions of the Alliance's Washington Summit, and jointly intercepting Russian missiles and drones. This was the focus of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s discussion with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte during their meeting in Kyiv.
This is Mark Rutte’s first foreign visit as the leader of the North Atlantic Alliance. President Zelenskyy noted that this visit immediately clearly outlines the current priorities, indicating where the defense of shared Euro-Atlantic values is taking place right now.
“Our key goal is Ukraine’s full NATO membership. Ukraine can become the thirty-third member of NATO. Ukrainians deserve this,” said the President.
During the meeting, the parties thoroughly discussed the prospects for cooperation, the Victory Plan and the feasibility of Ukraine's approach to a just end to the war, the situation on the battlefield, and the needs of our units, including weapons and brigade staffing.
“Ukraine needs to strengthen its positions on the frontline so that we can increase pressure on Russia for the sake of fair, real diplomacy. That is why we need a sufficient quantity and quality of weapons, including long-range weapons, the provision of which, in my opinion, is being delayed by our partners,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.
A separate focus of the discussion was Ukraine’s air defense needs. It is crucial for Ukraine that all air defense agreements, including those reached at the NATO Summit in Washington this July, are implemented before winter begins. Additionally, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Mark Rutte discussed additional cooperation with neighboring countries, drawing on examples from the Middle East.
“Jointly intercepting Iranian missiles is no different from jointly intercepting Russian missiles, and especially "Shaheds," which link the Russian and Iranian regimes. What we need in our region is more determination from our partners to put an end to Russian terror,” the President emphasized.
Mark Rutte noted that, as NATO Secretary General, he will do everything possible to increase support for Ukraine.
“Your security matters for ours. Your fight for freedom reflects our core principles and values,” he said.
According to the NATO Secretary General, member states of the Alliance plan to boost their own defense capabilities and strengthen Ukraine’s defense industry.
“Ukraine is closer to NATO than ever before. And we will continue on this path until you become a member of our Alliance. I very much look forward to that day,” said Mark Rutte.

ENGLISH:
The Museo del Carro y Aperos de Labranza is an ethnographic museum located in the Spanish municipality of Tomelloso. It was founded in the 1960s and houses a collection of more than 400 objects related to agricultural work and domestic life, as well as graphic and photographic documents. The museum is supported by the Association of Friends of the Museo del Carro.
On October 20, 1970, a dry-stone drum was inaugurated, for which more than two million stones were used. Inside there are rooms for farmers, tools and animals for agricultural work. It has an entrance with a semicircular arch and a fireplace. The drums were typical constructions of the area that served to shelter farmers in the field and to store their belongings.
