bearing witness to the beginning of the end of the world from my corner.
i know this is a common refrain for humanity since time immemorial - my mom reminds me in her day it was desk drills for imminent nuclear annihilation or california breaking off into the pacific ocean - i'm fiending for optimism that we can collectively turn this ship around (apathy & cynicism breeds inaction). i'd really like for my doom to be all for naught, but until then it's nice to dispatch as close to real time as poss how it's going from my end of earth.

The only extant hornbill in Singapore. Overall plumage is black with white lower breast, belly and outer tail feathers. Light blue facial skin around eyes and cheeks. Black patch of casque tends to be more clearly defined in the male (shown on the right). Nationally endangered, but extensive reintroduction programme has been successful.
This is part of the outer courtyard at the Stockholm Palace. There is another half-round wing encompassing the yard behind us, like two arms stretching out, grabbing hold of you. Just like at Saint Peter's Square in Rome, as drawn by the brilliant Bernini. Of course those arms are meant to symbolize the nurturing of catholicism's Mother Church, whereas these arms could only symbolize the power of the monarch.
The Outer Banks is a 200-mile-long string of narrow peninsulas and barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina and a small portion of Virginia, beginning in the southeastern corner of Virginia Beach on the east coast of the United States. They cover most of the North Carolina coastline, separating the Currituck Sound, Albemarle Sound, and Pamlico Sound from the Atlantic Ocean.

One of the pavilions in the beautiful Shalimar Bagh in Srinagar.
Shalimar Bagh is a Mughal garden in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India, linked through a channel to the northeast of Dal Lake. The word Shalimar in Sanskrit means 'abode of love'.
The layout of the garden is an adaptation of another Islamic garden layout known as the Persian gardens. The architectural details of the three terraces of the garden are elaborate.
The first terrace is a public garden or the outer garden ending in the Diwan-e-Aam (public audience hall). In this hall, a small black marble throne was installed over the waterfall.
The second terrace garden along the axial canal, slightly broader, has two shallow terraces. The Diwan-e-Khas (the Hall of Private Audience), which was accessible only to the noblemen or guests of the court, now derelict, is in its centre. However, the carved stone bases and a fine platform surrounded by fountains are still seen. The royal bathrooms are located on the north-west boundary of this enclosure. The fountain pools of the Diwan-e-Khas, the Diwan-e-Aam, and in turn, the Zenana terrace are supplied in succession. It has 410 fountains.
In the third terrace, the axial water channel flows through the Zenana garden, which is flanked by the Diwan-e-Khas and chinar trees. At the entrance to this terrace, there are two small pavilions or guard rooms (built in Kashmir style on stone plinth) that is the restricted and controlled entry zone of the royal harem. Shahjahan built a baradari of black marble, called the Black Pavilion in the zenana garden. It is encircled by a fountain pool that receives its supply from a higher terrace. A double cascade falls against a low wall carved with small niches (chini khanas), behind the pavilion.

"We will forsake our countries, we will leave our motherlands behind us and become one with this earth. We have
no nation, no philosophy, no ideology. We go where we're needed, fighting, not for government, but for ourselves.
We need no reason to fight. We fight because we are needed. We will be the deterrent for those with no other recourse. We are engineers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in.
We will sometimes have to sell ourselves and services. If the times demand it, we'll be revolutionaries, criminals, terrorists. And yes, we may all be headed straight to hell. But what better place for us than this? This is our only home. Our heaven and our hell. This is Outer Heaven." -- Big Boss

I've been wanting to take a reflection photo for a while and this spot was just right during sunset. There is no edit here.

Some scenes of the classic movie 'Whisky Galore' were filmed here.
Yet another MGSV post, but this MIGHT be the last one, as i accidentally broke the shrapnel off my Big Boss and lost it somewhere and, while i could make it again, i'm too lazy to re-do it for a future post. There's still another MGS1 post in the making, and after that some other videogame characters coming soon 👀
