When the United Coalition of Planetary Governors announced their plans to seceded from the galactic federation, specialized recon units were sent to the UCPG homeworld. Their mission was to scout out isolated locations from which a Marine Corps Strike Team would be able to establish a beachhead. Once that objective is complete, each of the 13 recon teams have been tasked with eliminating or capturing a list of 52 high value targets that will cripple the UCPG both politically, and militarily.

My disclaimer: I’m not speaking as a political affiliate, but a fellow human-being. One who grieves at the divide and celebrates with anyone speaking objectively. Blessings on those trying to heal a cultural rift that harms everyone!

101 Oil Studies, No. 33
Objective: Naples yellow wash; refine water reflection and Patagonia Lake scene.
Painted in 10 sessions: 30 July to 20 August 2024
Pigments (Winsor & Newton Artists' oil colour unless otherwise noted): Naples yellow, cadmium yellow, French ultramarine, cerulean blue, permalba white (Weber), and warm gray (Rembrandt), Indian red, Vandyke brown, permanent green, sap green, ivory black, lamp black. Mediums: Gamsol, linseed oil.
Centurion OP DLX oil primed linen, 35.6 x 27.9 cm (14 x 11 inches)
Process: I worked to create a composition in which point of view is much closer to the water's surface than in any of my reference photos (my own January 2022 photographs taken at Patagonia Lake in southeastern Arizona). Naples yellow is becoming one of my preferred pigments.
After Action Evaluation: (1) I'm more satisfied with the birds than with the water relections, where the values are decent but the overall perspective and strokes need work. (2) Cerulean blue added to the sky made for a hue mismatch with the water, where the only blue was French ultramarine. (3) A vertical compositions might add more reflection of the proximate shoveler and allow both birds to be closer to the shoreline grasses. (4) Permanent green, which I rarely use, worked perfectly for the iridescent green of the male.
The first official document with which the Carnival of Venice was declared a public celebration dates back to 1296 – an edict by the Senate of the “most Serene Republic,” making the day before Lent a holiday.
Established by the Venetian oligarchy as a concession to the people, its objective was fun and merrymaking, where the mask dominated as a means to briefly ignore any signs of belonging to social class, gender or religion.
Today the Carnival of Venice is an evocative and much-anticipated popular fest, unique in terms of its history, its masks and its atmosphere. Highly-reputed and appreciated in all the world, it brings thousands of tourists to Italy every year.
During the Lagoon’s two-week Carnival celebration, all can watch and take part in the numerous events and displays filling the piazzas and main waterways of the city.
As in the past, private parties and masquerade balls still happen behind the scenes today, inside Venice’s grand noble palaces. In these places, where time seems to stand still, guests can jump into this world of ancient splendor, reliving the Carnival tradition of long ago.
Some of the most spectacular moments during the Venetian carnival are the Flight of the Angel (or Flight of Colombina), a tradition that began with a Turkish acrobat in mid-1500s. In this amazing spectacle an artist in flesh and bone hangs from a metal cable, and, suspended in air, makes his descent from the top of St. Mark’s Bell Tower to the Doge’s Palace. It is a magnificent sight to see!
Venice, city of art and UNESCO World Heritage Site, exudes its charm all throughout the year, but only Carnival can render it even more magical than it already i

What was this experiment about?
The objectives were to estimate the degree of genetic variation for height growth "dbh" and volume among and within provenances and progenies.
(dbh: diameter at breast height.)
To estimate the additive genetic component of variation for open pollinated progenies.
To estimate juvenile-mature correlations of family traits in order to recommend the best selection strategy for this planting site.
Provenance variation was apparently the most significant part of their experiment, three provenances from Washington surpassed average performance by 25%.
(Provenance: original geographic location of the seed.)
What was the conclusion?
Provenance-pogeny experiments are important to maximize volume production of forests, these should be carried out at least half the rotation age to garner reliable data for future planning.
(pogeny: genetic line/decedents of a particular plant in this case.)
No interesting statistical data such as correlations and R2 has been posted on the sign. This experiment was/is international countries involved include France among 24 other countries.

Great-horned Owls are desperate to avoid lengthy daylight flights during the months of May and June. This is nesting season for blackbirds which are among the most savagely protective members of the family Aves. The owls “hole up” deep in the recesses of willow trees preferably in a grove where they can avoid interlopers such as said photographer by tree hopping so to speak.
I can determine their flight path across “good light” by approaching a tree from a specific direction. When they make their escape to a neighboring willow, I raise my 600mm telephoto to my eye and fire away. I have a short window of time to find them, acquire focus, and fill the buffer.
On the two occasions that I did this, I accumulated a great many close-up flight-shots of Great-horned Owls. You can sample some of them on my Flickr pages. However, though I love flight photography, my heart is not in this. It is not that I am disturbing owls in a harmful way. By this time of year their fledging have started to fly. I also know when to quit before photography becomes harassment. It has something to do with forcefully making things happen in nature. It is oddly symbolic of a deeper meaning.
Put simply, getting the shot is not that big a deal to me. If it were, I would be missing the transitory wonder and beauty winging by me from moment to moment. The real magic and mystery is flying past undetected when I preoccupy myself with goals and objectives.
Recently, I stepped out of my truck and instantly became aware of the incredible silence. It was an unseasonably warm day, sunny and calm. In the distance, I could hear water spilling out of a culvert into the river. One of those feelings that seem to say “all is right with the world” came over me. I slung my lens and camera over my shoulder as an afterthought and started ambling down the road.
Suddenly, a big-tired 3/4 ton diesel truck turned and rumbled towards me. Out of thin air, it seemed, a “grey ghost” Northern Harrier appeared and flew directly between me and the oncoming truck. I raised my lens instinctively and let the shutter rip. It was like Zen archery — no beating heart nor widening eye. I had been two years looking for this shot and there it was like magic.
My appilcation for Dark times.

Small Aperture
Photo #2
Objective 6: Critique
Strength: I like where the top of the mountains are positioned. It is on the top rule of thirds line, or at least very close to it. As well as the river and tops of the bush in the front of the photo are close to the bottom rule of thirds line.
Area for growth: I wish it had been later in the day, so that the lighting wasn’t so hard. I think it makes the photo look a little grainy, since I had to brighten it up so much.
Objective 7: Photographic Styles
Type/style of photography: Landscape
The camera mode (P, Tv, Av, M): Manual-Using Manual, gave me more control over the aperture, ISO, and shutter speed, so that I could adjust the settings when I needed to, to get a better landscape photo.
f stop used: f/16- I used a larger aperture so that the whole photo, front to back, would be in focus.
Shutter speed used: 1/800- The shutter speed was fast, to prevent camera shake, and to keep the image sharp.
ISO used: 400- I was shooting outdoors, so I was able to keep the ISO low, to prevent a lot of noise. As well as to keep the exposure low, since it was such a bright day, and the lighting was very harsh. The time of day that we were travelling through this area wasn’t the ideal time for taking a landscape shot, but otherwise I think it’s a good example of landscape.
Focal length: 18mm–Using an 18mm focal length gives the photo some depth of field, and also makes it so I was able to get as much of the mountains, river, and trees into the photo as possible.
One of the main objectives from my trip to Japan was to capture the row of vermilion torii gates that straddle the paths at Fushimi Inari Shrine. Since early Japan, Inari was seen as the patron of business, traditionally worshiped by merchants and manufacturers. Each of the torii at Fushimi Inari Taisha is donated by a Japanese business. First and foremost, though, Inari is the god of rice.
Due to the extreme popularity of the site, the only way to avoid the masses and “pull off” the shot was to get there early in the morning, as soon as the shrine opened to the public.

Looking a little worse for wear, with many a scratch and blemish on the brass.
Objective from an old Prior microscope. I also took a shot of the lens as a possible Macro Monday (in photostream), but decided on this one instead (mostly because it is 42!).
DSC_0053
It was a two hour hike up, counting stops to rest, take in the views and of course make use of the camera.
This was the ultimate goal, the scene from the lookout, back south to The Old Man and points beyond. It was clear, sunny, very very windy ... and a thrill I'll never forget.

The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, often referred to as The Guggenheim, is an art museum located at 1071 Fifth Avenue on the corner of East 89th Street in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. It is the permanent home of a continuously expanding collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern and contemporary art and also features special exhibitions throughout the year. The museum was established by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1939 as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, under the guidance of its first director, the artist Hilla von Rebay. It adopted its current name after the death of its founder, Solomon R. Guggenheim, in 1952.
In 1959, the museum moved from rented space to its current building, a landmark work of 20th-century architecture. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the cylindrical building, wider at the top than the bottom, was conceived as a "temple of the spirit". Its unique ramp gallery extends up from ground level in a long, continuous spiral along the outer edges of the building to end just under the ceiling skylight. The building underwent extensive expansion and renovations in 1992 (when an adjoining tower was built) and from 2005 to 2008.
The museum's collection has grown organically, over eight decades, and is founded upon several important private collections, beginning with Solomon R. Guggenheim's original collection. The collection is shared with the museum's sister museums in Bilbao, Spain, and elsewhere. In 2013, nearly 1.2 million people visited the museum, and it hosted the most popular exhibition in New York City.

El Museo de Solomon R. Guggenheim, a menudo referido como el Guggenheim, es un museo de arte situado en 1071 Fifth Avenue en la esquina de East 89th Street en el Upper East Side barrio de Manhattan, Nueva York. Es el hogar permanente de una colección que se amplía continuamente de impresionista, de Post-Impresionista, de arte temprano moderno y contemporáneo y también ofrece exposiciones especiales a través del año. El museo fue creado por la Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim en 1939 como el Museo de Pintura No Objetiva, bajo la dirección de su primer director, la artista Hilla von Rebay. Adoptó su nombre actual después de la muerte de su fundador, Solomon R. Guggenheim, en 1952.
En 1959, el museo se trasladó de espacio alquilado a su actual edificio, una obra emblemática de la arquitectura del siglo XX. Diseñado por Frank Lloyd Wright, el edificio cilíndrico, más ancho en la parte superior que en el fondo, fue concebido como un "templo del espíritu". Su exclusiva galería de rampa se extiende desde el nivel del suelo en una espiral larga y continua a lo largo de los bordes exteriores del edificio para terminar justo debajo de la claraboya del techo. El edificio sufrió amplia expansión y renovaciones en 1992 (cuando se construyó una torre adyacente) y de 2005 a 2008.
La colección del museo ha crecido orgánicamente, durante ocho décadas, y se basa en varias colecciones privadas importantes, comenzando con la colección original de Solomon R. Guggenheim. La colección se comparte con los museos hermanos del museo en Bilbao, España y otros lugares. En 2013, cerca de 1,2 millones de personas visitaron el museo, y fue sede de la exposición más popular en la ciudad de Nueva York.

"Access; Superman. Command; Eradicate Kryptonion."
Based on the Young Justice and classic Brave and The Bold comic designs of Professor Ivo's Amazing Android, I present to you, Amazo!
The power absorbing super-foe created for science faces off against Supes over the city of Metropolis
I've really wanted to showcase Amazo for a while now. He's been built and sitting with other Legion of Doom members amongst my collection for months now, so I'm glad he gets to finally see the light of day.

Well, I guess I joined the SAS to get a little more action and respect compared to the standard military. Of course I had to train for it, They don't just let any average Joe or Dave into the most elite Task Force on Earth. My interests are of classic warfare. Much simpler wars they ahd back then. Only Atomic bombs. Nothing Nuclear like we have now."
