I've seen plenty of green plastic wrappers for round hay bales, but blue is a first for me. It does look a little like a Christo and Jeanne-Claude exhibition. But I can assure you that whilst they did visit Australia for one of their largest projects in 1968-69, they were never here. christojeanneclaude.net/artworks/wrapped-coast/

Book quote from the incredible novel Waking Lions by Ayelet Gundar-Goshen. Her newest one, The Liar is very different but also well worth reading.

I’m reading an excellent book at the moment by the Nobel Memorial Prize winner in Economics, Daniel Kahnman - Thinking Fast and Slow.
The central thesis of the book is an investigation into the disunion between two modes of thought; fast, instinctive and emotional and slower, more deliberative, and more logical.
By researching various heuristics and biases, choices and rationality it is easy to learn why people place too much confidence in human judgement.
Interestingly, photography (to me) appears to sit within the comfortable intersection of learnt intuition and good judgement. Ultimately it can be defined as a skill and something that can be practiced and improved.
So with that said, here is a shot that I have been waiting for some time to find. That classic curving path through some colourful autumn trees. The only problem – my path is rather straight☺
There were countless paths like this one littered throughout the small towns I spent my days driving through in Canada and I am fairly sure I found a few others so maybe that perfect one is still in the bag. We’ll see..

‘They Are Human Beings’: Homeland Security Faulted for Treatment of Migrant Children -The New York Times

A whole generation of migrant kids is languishing at the U.S.-Mexico border -
The Los Angeles Times
www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2019-07-18/la-fg-a-new...
We need to make our voices known to insist upon fair treatment for all children and people throughout the world, families should not be separated and jailed for no reason. There are many difficult problems to solve, but this one should not be neglected, we need to face it head-on and find positive solutions and surely we could do that by acting with our friends, not against them. The world is linked by technology, it is not the time to separate countries and nationalities, we all need one another, it is time to unite. This is not the time to be greedy and selfish, instead, we have to work together!

Painted ladies fly fast and far. These medium-sized butterflies can cover a lot of ground, up to 100 miles per day during their migration. A painted lady is capable of reaching a speed of nearly 30 miles per hour.
LONDON — The army renewed clashes with insurgents early Monday after thousands of antigovernment protesters defied a state of emergency, massing in the streets, firing on armored military vehicles and attacking government offices.
Soldiers charged protesters and fired automatic weapons into the crowds to clear a major road leading out of the centre as England began another round of military operations aimed at quelling unrest. Hospitals said at least 60 people were wounded.
High Chancellor Adam Sutler declared the state of emergency last Sunday after violence broke out following attempts by residents of the nearly formed Swine flu quarantine zones to get medical treatment .
On Sunday, armed protesters attacked Norsfire officials in Liverpool as they was leaving the Interior Ministry North building, injuring several people in the process. The building was set on fire and attempts by fire fighter to deal with the blaze thwarted by demonstrators throwing rocks and bottles.
The emergency decree bans gatherings of more than five people had been issued, but bands of protesters roamed the city, defying deployments of soldiers and armored vehicles. The largest crowd gathered outside Norsefire offices, where demonstrations have continued for days, calling for the dissolution of the government.
Protesters erected barricades, including parked vehicles, in case the military moved against them, and some were seen filling bottles with gas as makeshift bombs.
The most militant demonstrators, known as “PROS,” have yet to issue demands or a political agenda other than call for the fall of the present Norsefire regime.
“Now that they have tanks on the streets, it is time for the people to come out in revolution,” said a protest organiser known only as V in the telephone interview with the IHT on Sunday evening. “And when it is necessary, we will take back our country.”
Speaking to an audience of party officials at Downing Street, the High chancellors office, leader, Adam Sutler, said a state of emergency was “the only way to save this nations fro the forces of anarchy and chaos.”
He added: “They will crush these cowards and we will remain here. We will start a war against all those who would destroy everything we have worked so hard to create.”
In a televised speech to the nation, Mr. Andrews, deputy head of the Office of Political Orthodoxy said execution orders were being prepared for leaders of the demonstrations.
“In the current situation, what we have to do is bring order to the country, bring back stability and have a firm hand on the wheel of government,” Mr. Andrews said. “The chancellor will ensure in every way that these terrorist cause no further damage to our proud nation.”
Mr. Andrews’s emergency decree reversed a police only approach critics said had contributed to the escalation of hostilities over the previous week in cities across England. At the meeting, in the beach resort of Blackpool, hundreds of protesters broke through a thin line of security officers to enter the hotel complex where the local Norsefire leaders were gathered. Several leaders were evacuated by helicopter.
The meeting was to have included the heads of the 10 members of the Norsefire regional command, top Territorial Militia commanders and representatives of local councils in the area. The officials had planned to discuss the handing of the Swine flu crisis.
Units of the 2nd Wessex brigade in conjunction with elements of the army air corp managed to restore order in matter of hours according to official reports. Unofficial reports speaks of a dozen dead and possibly hundreds of injured following the bombing of an old people’s home which the army spokesmen said was being used as an insurgent’s weapon depot.
“Yesterday we saw the true face of terrorism. There can be no doubt that those who seek to challenge the government are little more than thugs and criminals,” The Daily Mail said in a front-page editorial on Sunday. “We need to show those who would destroy our way of life that their vile efforts will not bear fruit.”
As a results of the troubles traffic in parts of London is virtually non - existent, with daily business curtailed or at a standstill. Many of England’s regional airports, which were shut by huge protests on Thursday, remain closed with only London Heathrow and Gatwick functioning normally. Hotels were open, and but foreigners said they did feel threatened.
“We are very worried about the situation,” said Thibault Quetel, 20, from France, who is studying economics at Cambridge university. “This is a problem between English. There hasn’t been any animosity toward foreigners.”
Insurgents and protesters, who mostly come from ethnic minorities and the urban working class, represent one side of a deep social and political divide that pits them against the supporters of Norsefire,” who demonstrated last Wednesday in support of government measures to stop the spread of Swine flu.
Norsefire supporters generally represent the country’s established power centers, including the royalists, the elite and middle class, and the military, who feel threatened by attempts to change the country’s balance of power.
As demonstrations by the Norsefire’s foes continued, court rulings cleared the way for the setting up of internment camps on the Isle of White and the forced deportation of protesters with roots outside the UK.
“We need to show insurgents that the government is capable of fending off any challenge to its authority,” said Tom Thorson, director of the Institute of Security and International Studies at Oxford University. “The use of the army to put down these acts of subversion is just the beginning.”
The deployment of army units to impose quarantine zones and deal with armed uprisings has resulted in an international outcry of the Norsefire government. The United Nations security council, which England quit two years ago issued an official condemnation of the use of air strikes and heavy artillery in urban areas.

The steel plate fortifications that sealed off the block are not built in an instant. In the sections where the steel plates are not yet in place, every two or three metres sits a so-called volunteer safety officer, mostly staff from government agencies, assigned to the site to act as a human fortification.
from NY Times online: This bronze statue, part of a small sundial, which sits at the back of the bench, was designed by Albert Stewart and includes a bronze female figure attributed to Paul Manship, sculptor of the ''Prometheus'' at Rockefeller Center, Mr. Kuhn said. Another Latin inscription is on the sundial: ''Ne Diruatur Fuga Temporum,'' or ''Let it not be destroyed by the passage of time.''
From NYC Parks website: Though there are many benches in Central Park, few are as special as this elaborate exedra (curved outdoor bench) overlooking Conservatory Water, which honors public servant Waldo Hutchins (1822–1891).
Born in the same year as Central Park’s designer Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903), Hutchins was an original member of the Board of Commissioners of Central Park, the state-authorized legislative body which oversaw the park’s design, construction, and management in its infancy. Hutchins served as a park commissioner from 1857 to 1869, and again from 1887 to 1891. He also was a United States Congressman from 1879 to 1885.
This monument to Hutchins was erected in 1932, a gift of August S. Hutchins. It measures nearly four feet high by twenty-seven feet long, and its architect was Eric Gugler. The carved white marble stonework is attributed to Corrado Novani and the Piccirilli Brothers studio, the same firm responsible for the Maine Monument at Columbus Circle and the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The sundial component was designed by Albert Stewart, and famed sculptor Paul Manship is credited with the small bronze figure at its center.
Three semicircular lines inscribed in the paving match the bench’s shadow lines at 10:00 a.m., noon, and 2:00 p.m. at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. Etched into the back of the bench are the Latin phrases, Alteri Vivas Oportet Sit Vis Tibi Vivere and Ne Diruat Fuga Temporium. Loosely translated, these mean, “You should live for another if you would live for yourself,” and “Let it not be destroyed by the passage of time.” The bench and its inscriptions honor a man who helped create Central Park, promote personal fulfillment through public service, and acknowledge the preservation of those things we treasure.

THE PRIVACY PROJECT
Companies and governments are gaining new powers to follow people across the internet and around the world, and even to peer into their genomes. The benefits of such advances have been apparent for years; the costs — in anonymity, even autonomy — are now becoming clearer. The boundaries of privacy are in dispute, and its future is in doubt. Citizens, politicians and business leaders are asking if societies are making the wisest tradeoffs. The Times is embarking on this months long project to explore the technology and where it’s taking us, and to convene debate about how it can best help realize human potential.

The man and the woman on their scooters were visiting their parents at the entrance to a locked-down quarter.
Some neighbourhoods in Shanghai had been sealed off and surrounded by steel plates as early as mid-March, before the city went into full lockdown. By 24 April, more neighbourhoods had taken such measures, causing fierce resistance from residents as well as international public opinion.
However, like other residents, I was imprisoned at home and unable to see the streets of Shanghai at the moment. This photo was taken on 15 March. In those days, as the lockdown was on a partial basis, elderly prisoners were still able to have food delivered to them by their children who lived elsewhere. However, the total lockdown of the city on 1 April made it impossible for people to move between different parts of the city, which caused many disasters.

Lyle, Pat, Steve and their magnificent romantic team were absolutely unique in world music (and not only jazz) of the late 20th century.
The conjugation with Lyle Mays, a talented Wisconsin keyboard player, was crucial. Metheny's ability and melodic and compositional sense found in Mays a natural terrain of completion and sublimation both from a harmonic and melodic point of view, as well as a very happy artistic partnership, even from a purely technical profile.
Those who were familiar with the music of the Pat Metheny Group in recordings or attending concerts remember this energy and incredible emotional upsurge. It is impossible to express in a word. And this memory will remain with us forever.
