I took the same picture back in September 2017 and was the first picture in my "Green Estate" series using Lynch's 5 elements of the city descriptors. Since then this play area has been described as being like Chernobyl in the UK National press.
For context behind the wall is the River Cole and the Cole valley, to my right is a fairly new housing estate and a magnificent ancient oak tree that deserves TPO (Tree Protection Order) status (there are no TPOs in North Solihull), and over my left shoulder Bacons End Bridge (a grade 2 listed foot and road bridge from 1764).
This whole area is due to be flattened to provide road access to the Simon Digby field for a new housing estate.
As 2019 closes, thoughts of new beginnings stream anew, meandering; encountering obstacles; redirecting. The path forward is unclear, but the water will find the way.

"Node", a 102 ft. tall pubic art sculpture by New York artist Roxy Paine (1966- ) at the Yerba Buena/Moscone MUNI (Municipal Transportation) station in San Francisco, California.
"Node" is the tallest freestanding sculpture in the city. The stainless-steel form reaches upward from a 5 1/2-foot-thick base reminiscent of a tree trunk. From there, it curves as it extends upward gradually tapering until it's just a quarter of an inch thick at its peak. The sculpture was intended to function as a way-finding landmark for the station.
These nodes, placed along the upper level platforms, mark where the streets above lie. Each one is lit up in a different color, marking 45th to 48th street with shades of green, blue and purple.
Node 1, the first element of the International Space Station to be manufactured in the United States and the first to be launched on the Space Shuttle, is unloaded in its container from an Air Force C-5 jet cargo transport at Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Shuttle Landing Facility runway on June 23, 1997, after its arrival from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The module was then transported to the Space Station Processing Facility. The Node 1 module was launched aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on STS-88 on December 4, 1998 along with Pressurized Mating Adapters (PMAs) 1 and 2. The 18-foot in diameter, 22-foot-long aluminum module was manufactured by the Boeing Co. at MSFC. Node 1 functions as a connecting passageway to the living and working areas of the International Space Station. It has six hatches that serve as docking ports to the U.S. laboratory module, U.S. habitation module, an airlock and other Space Station elements.

'Although Oscar Newman’s seminal Defensible Space was a decade away from publication, it is clear that Brooke House provided a sense of communal surveillance to a city centre otherwise devoid of population after closing time, allowing Basildon to avoid a situation where its centre could become a ‘nogo area’

Laphystia sp. Tentative ID based on bugguide.net images. Found at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in central New Mexico. Socorro County, New Mexico, USA.
I found several of these pretty robbers on the Marsh Overlook Trail on the refuge. They were perching on soil surface in semi-shaded areas just off the trail.

With rays of sunshine and the thin blue atmosphere of Earth serving as a backdrop, the SpaceX Dragon commercial cargo craft is berthed to the Earth-facing side of the International Space Station's Harmony node. Expedition 31 Flight Engineers Don Pettit and Andre Kuipers grappled Dragon at 9:56 a.m. (EDT) with the Canadarm2 robotic arm and used it to berth Dragon to the at 12:02 p.m. May 25, 2012. Dragon became the first commercially developed space vehicle to be launched to the station to join Russian, European and Japanese resupply craft that service the complex while restoring a U.S. capability to deliver cargo to the orbital laboratory. Dragon is scheduled to spend about a week docked with the station before returning to Earth on May 31 for retrieval
