Per conoscere
me e le mie verità
io ho combattuto
fantasmi di angosce
con perdite di io.
Per distruggere
vecchie realtà
ho galleggiato
su mari di irrazionalità.
Ho dormito per non morire
buttando i miei miti di carta
su cieli di schizofrenia.

Design Challenge entry: 'Wish you were here: Myriad vanishings by Su_G' in a bedding mockup (c/o Roostery)
This design really needs a banner... but that will have to wait. Stretching the brief a bit, this is my entry in Spoonflower's Retro Postcards Design Challenge.
Hand-painted, 'boneless' wash (after Ren Yi) & line art.

The Contest Brief talked of "vacation memories with a vintage flair... time to experiment... or celebrate your most exciting travels [whether] by boat, train, airplane or even car..." and could have added, or by tank. So, I chose to commemorate Tiananmen Square on the 4 June 1989, using Ren Yi's “boneless wash” (& Ren Xiong's 'Myriad'), for Tiananmen Man. First the tanks came for him and then he went to the tanks, side stepping to stay in front when they tried to go around, and climbing on to remonstrate with the soldiers. Exciting times! We know where he'd been (shopping - the poignancy of those shopping bags!) but where did he go? Never seen again! Bob Hawke, Australian Prime Minster of the time, made a unilateral decision in 1989 to give the 27,000 Chinese students in Australia residency rights, and around 42,000 permanent visas for Chinese students were later granted.

"In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. It is like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time."
– W. Somerset Maugham
This is my neighborhood, The Congaree Vista (The Vista, for short) in Columbia, SC. The city and area is tame, compared to the analogy in the quote above. Despite that, the image seems fitting for it.
Before it earned its nickname, the Vista was a light industrial district of factories and warehouses. It was, also, a railroad & transportation hub, moving people and product to, from, and through the city. This was one of many textile mill centers, in the South, that eventually became outmoded and closed because of technological advancements.
Columbia has done well in preserving the architecture from that era – in particular on Gervais Street, the heart of The Vista, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. After the neighborhood saw a downturn, in the 1980s, it has been redeveloped to be an arts & entertainment, business, and residential district that is still evolving.

[A6] Auxerre 16/06/2017 10h52
The entrance of the A10 at Auxerre Nord (which is exit 19 counted from Paris). Going in Northwestern direction to Versailles and Paris. Autoroute du Soleil!
A6 Autoroute
The A6, also known as the Autoroute du Soleil, Motorway of the Sun, (along with the A7), is an Autoroute in France, linking Paris to Lyon. The motorway starts at Paris's Porte d'Orléans and Porte d'Italie with two branches, numbered A6a and A6b respectively, that join south of Paris.
A6a and A6b at Paris.
The motorway is favoured by holidaymakers as it is the main link to the South of France and the French Riviera and is prone to severe traffic jams around famous bottlenecks, such as the Tunnel de Fourvière near Lyon.
Length: 470 km
Built between 1960 and 1971

Roadtrip [8] 16/06/2017
On the planning today was a relocation from Auxerre to Nogent-sur-Marne (East of Paris) via Rungis and Créteil with a total distance of 180 kilometers and a driving time of 2 hours. Invader was invading Versailles and I already had some indications where some of the in total 5 were so I changed my plan to include a visit of Versailles.
After a visit of the friendly town of Auxerre I left the hotel parking at 10h03 and took some coffee at McDonald’s Auxerre before taking the N6 and A6 in the direction of Paris. Along the A6 at Villabe I photovisited another roadside McDonald’sw before my visit of Versailles. From 13h08 to 14h56 I visited Versailles and fount 4 out of 5 space invaders (nowadays there are 19 space invaders, installed during 8 waves).
From Versailles to Nogent-sur-Marne via de A13, Boulevard Périphérique and A4 is about 33 kilometers but it took me more than 2 hours due to the fact that I was in stuck in traffic on the périphérique.
Arrived finally at 17h00 at Nogent-sur-Marne at Ibis ‘Zac du Port’ opposite Paris space invader PA_1259. Total kilometers today was 205.2 km.

Manchester Evening News Reportage here.
Our return journey from a fantastic Radiohead Gig at Old Trafford resulted in an unexpected end to the day and our weekend in Manchester.
M and I were standing next to the doors inside a packed carriage, when it came off the rails in the centre of Manchester. It was clear that something had gone very wrong when a series of bangs accompanied by loud clattering and grating noises over a hundered yards or so, was accompanied by the sound of lamposts being hit along the way. The tram ground to a halt, with our carriage positioned in the middle of a road junction, witnessed by some astonished car drivers waiting at the traffic lights where we were supposed to pass. This is the point where I should thank an unknown taxi driver who got out of his car immediately and headed towards the doors (which at that point were firmly closed) to help us.
Once it was clear the tram had stopped, M was able to prise open the doors so that we could navigate the 3-4 foot drop from the carriage to the road, in order to get out and away. In those initial moments, There was quite a prolonged, stunned silence as people tried to make sense of what was happening. We later found out that fortunately, none of the 300 or so people who had been crammed onto the tram had been seriously injured.
I don't really remember much of those moments, just the urge to get out as fast as possible, make sure that M was also OK, and then help others to get out as well. It seemed like an awfully long time before any kind of police or emergency services arrived - at least 20-30 minutes in fact. During that time, a number of vignettes remain with me.
People milling around, slightly dazed, searching for friends and family.
A man sat on the kerb of a nearby pavement discussing with his friends, the best way to go about claiming some compensation for a neck injury & whiplash. Deciding how much time he should take off sick from work to make that look convincing.
A woman lying on the road by a mangled lamp-post in front of the derailed carriage, getting her friends to take pictures of her as she pulled a number of grotesque facial expressions whilst pretending to be dead amid much hilarity.
The man who had pain in his leg and was limping but couldn't bring himself to sit down and look to check he hadn't seriously hurt himself.
A distressed woman asking for tissues because someone else had thrown up over her.
Small groups standing quietly, watching as other people clambered excitedly over the wreckage and back into the carriage, to pose for mobile phone pictures to send to their friends.
There are lots of reasons why people take photographs. I'm not entirely sure why I did, it's not exactly my genre! I had the camera with me and loaded with fast film, that's not unusual but it felt comfortable to be holding it and using it. I don't know if I was trying to take pictures for my own 'records' or in case they might be considered helpful. I know I wanted to be sure it was safe to do so before I went ahead.
I don't drive, so my public transport usage is more than most, but this is the first time anything like this has happened to me.
It could have been much worse.
We were all very, very lucky.

Backlighting
The Encina Power Plant located in Carlsbad, California is operated by San Diego Gas & Electric Co. The coastal site has the advantage of proximity to water for cooling and nearby natural gas availability.
The main structure is 200 feet high and was built in 1953. The smokestack was increased to 400 feet in the 1970s to more widely disperse plant emissions.
Carlsbad receives about $600,000 in taxes yearly from the Encina plant with an assessed value of $300 million.

Note: D700 probably needs a firmware update as it is assigning the folder creation date instead of the actual date to the photo. I actually just got back from taking the photo this evening. I've also turned off the, set time with GPS option, to see if that helps. Note that the GPS date stamp is correct (though probably set for GMT).
Ever wondered how difficult to come back from some journeys which are once started. Like life of a saint.
