Still under the weather but since having the "man flu" doesn't get me any sympathy, I was persuaded to go for a drive after the rain stopped today. We did find some nice light here and there, which really brightened up the remaining fall colors. For this shot, I used a Singh Ray warming polarizer to minimize reflections and warm up the colors a bit.
As it turned out, we had a really nice afternoon and later I was comforted with a crusty sour dough bread, basil pesto dipping oil, a favorite Niagara Gold cheese, and a glass of Megalomaniac red wine. The latter was purely for medicinal purposes.
Fort Ruger is an old military fort on the island of Oʻahu that served as the first military reservation in the Territory of Hawaii. Named after Civil War General Thomas H. Ruger and built in & around Diamond Head Crater, the fort was established by the United States for the purpose of defending the harbor (Pearl Harbor) of its newly annexed territory. The fort was originally established in 1906 as Diamond Head Reservation and renamed Fort Ruger in 1909.
This fort was the site of Battery Harlow, armed with eight 12-inch mortars. And with the fort's prominent location on Diamond Head, it made a natural fire control station with several posts built into Lēʻahi Peak. One of these bunkers and/or fire stations is seen in the photograph above. You can seen the inside of the bunker with just the small opening 'cut' into the hillside looking south to the Pacific and west toward Pearl Harbor.
The Fort Ruger Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on July 14, 1983, with portions of the site still being used for training by the Hawaii National Guard. More information about the historic district can be found on here:

And the moon is hate
I'll be down to get you
Roots of earth will shake

Come and take my hand
Burn away the goodness
You and I remain
Did you see the last war?
Well, here I am again
Sinister purpose
Knockin' at your door
Come and take my hand
I can set you free
Make you rich and wise
We can live forever
Look into my eyes

Knockin' at your door
Come and take my hand

Excerpt from www.ninapark.org/en-hk/purpose/about-nina-park/:
Nina Park, a wood fossil park, is located in Tsuen Wan, adjacent to Nina Tower, NINA MALL and Nina Hotel Tsuen Wan West. Nina Park and its facilities occupy an area close to 70,000 sq.ft., showcasing the largest collection of wood fossils among urban parks in Asia, all gathered by the late Mrs. Nina Wang, Chairwoman of Chinachem Group. This unique legacy will inspire local and international visitors through exciting “edutainment” programmes and innovative designs. As Hong Kong’s first and only wood fossil park, Nina Park invites everyone to embark on a voyage of a million lifetimes.

He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was punished.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gion_Matsuri:
The Gion Festival (祇園祭, Gion Matsuri) is one of the largest and most famous festivals in Japan, taking place annually during the month of July in Kyoto. Many events take place in central Kyoto and at the Yasaka Shrine, the festival's patron shrine, located in Kyoto's famous Gion district, which gives the festival its name. It is formally a Shinto festival, and its original purposes were purification and pacification of disease-causing entities. There are many ceremonies held during the festival, but it is best known for its two Yamaboko Junkō (山鉾巡行) processions of floats, which take place on July 17 and 24.
The three nights leading up to each day of a procession are sequentially called yoiyoiyoiyama (宵々々山), yoiyoiyama (宵々山), and yoiyama (宵山). During these yoiyama evenings, Kyoto's downtown area is reserved for pedestrian traffic, and some traditional private houses near the floats open their entryways to the public, exhibiting family heirlooms in a custom known as the Folding Screen Festival (屏風祭り, Byōbu Matsuri). Additionally, the streets are lined with night stalls selling food such as yakitori (barbecued chicken on skewers), taiyaki, takoyaki (fried octopus balls), okonomiyaki, traditional Japanese sweets, and many other culinary delights.

As a natural consequence of the ever more complex gadgets and services, the need for some kind of software assistant arose. Going by many names and varying in functions and intelligence, Personal AIs are now a natural part of every mans day to day life. Personal AIs takes care of transactions, shopping, booking and household chores. Some people find it amusing to give their AIs personality and treat them as pets, others just use them as tools.
Personal AIs can transfer small parts of their core to machines in order to carry out various tasks. Shells are robotic machines that come in thousands of variants. Most Shells have their own governing AIs but they can also merge with Personal AIs and transfer their subroutines to them. Not many people can afford to choose other than the cheapest versions, but theoretically an AI can inhabit any Shell. Creative ways of using shells can of course be shared and downloaded by the AIs.
The Yogamabara Mechanization M-400 Multi-Purpose Shell is a commonly used type of shell. It’s very fast and agile. It gives the host AI the ability to follow it’s client around any ground based environment and has a full range of standard tools, like laser cutter, hydro spanners and standard data sockets to name a few. It’s animal-like form gives it personality and this has made Yogamabara one of the biggest manufacturers of Personal AI Shells.
Get yours today! Let your personal AI schedule a meeting and a free* testrun!
* Your AI will be analyzed and mined for suspicious behaviour, transactions and interactions.
Forest Larose
In 1928, the agronomist Ferdinand Larose made a first plantation of conifers on abandoned farms. To date, more than 18 million trees have been planted there to make Larose Forest the second largest community forest in Ontario. Located about 50 km from Ottawa, the forest extends over more than 11,000 hectares. There are over 60 km of multi-purpose trails for mountain biking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking and dog sledding. The forest is full of great places to relax and have a good time in nature. The Forest is home to a wide variety of wildlife species ranging from the tiny chickadee to the majestic moose. There are also various wildflowers and mushrooms scattered throughout the area. United Counties of Prescott and Russell, Eastern Ontario, Canada.
Forêt Larose
En 1928, l'agronome Ferdinand Larose a fait une première plantation de conifères sur des fermes abandonnées. À ce jour, plus de 18 millions d’arbres y ont été plantés pour faire de la Forêt Larose la deuxième plus grande forêt communautaire en Ontario. Situé à environ 50 km d'Ottawa, la forêt s'étend sur plus de 11 000 hectares. Il y a plus de 60 km de sentiers multiusages pour faire du VTT, de l’équitation, du ski de fond, de la raquette, de la randonnée et le traîneau à chiens. La forêt regorge d’excellents endroits pour se détendre et passer un bon moment en nature. La Forêt est l’abri d’une grande variété d’espèces fauniques allant de la minuscule mésange jusqu’au majestueux orignal. Il s’y trouve aussi diverses fleurs sauvages et divers champignons dispersés dans toute la région. Comtés unis de Prescott et de Russell, Est ontarien, Canada.
Sprocket doesn't seem to have the same fascination with cardboard boxes as she did in her younger years, other than chewing on them (come to think of it, so does sister Shutter). One corrugated-cardboard-box-like item, however, still serves two purposes — as the brand name suggests — quite well for her.
The canal was constructed for trading purpose during 1863–1873 and named in honor to king of Prussia, Wilhelm I. The canal connects Klaipėda port with River Nemunas, avoiding the Curonian Lagoon.

If the purpose of a Lowrider is to catch the eye, then these 2 definitely succeeded. A style started in California in mid-to-late 1940s, when Mexican-American barrio youths were lowering their cars by cutting spring coils and painting their cars with fancy colors. "Ride low and slow" was their motto. During the years the style changed a bit and hydraulic suspension systems were added and at some point the bouncing cars were popular. As west coast Hip Hop artists started featuring lowriders in the music videos, lowriders became strongly associated with that musical style. Quite the view to see a car like this bouncing to a rap song while waiting for the green light! The rear car I believe is a Lincoln Town Car and the front a 1965 Chevy Impala SS coupe (thank you Joseph Mazzucco)

Margam Abbey now consists of the intact nave and impressive surrounding ruins. Those ruins not belonging to the church are now owned by the County Council. These remains, including the unusually large twelve-sided chapter house, dating from the 13th century, stand within 840 acre (3.4 km²) Margam Country Park, close to Margam Castle. The Abbey church of St Mary, the ruined Chapter House and the Abbey undercroft are all Grade I listed buildings.[3][4][5]
On a hill overlooking the abbey stand the ruins of an outlying monastery building, Capel Mair ar y Bryn ("the chapel of St Mary on the hill"). The purpose of this building is thought to have been to allow members of the monastic community who were engaged in the keeping of flocks to fulfil their devotional obligations without having to return to the main church.
An interesting sunrise from last year. The vapour trails stayed for ages. No idea why.
The original purpose of this image was to contribute to FlickrFriday’s theme of the week (in November 2020) on "#remote". This theme was appropriate to illustrate the situation of "lockdown" with all its consequences of physical, sensory and social isolation.

"Help her let go of all the times that betrayed her
Show her the sweetness of the girl
Help Her to find all the beauty deep inside
To live as a Goddess in this world" -
Ganga Fondan, 2000, Lyrics from Woman Song
These four lines are my favorite and most meaningful. Over the years my ache for self-forgiveness, clarity of purpose and expression found a way to wholeness and expansion and finally magnificent regeneration. It is the formula for the feminine rising in the world to poise itself firmly alongside the masculine. It is the key to our invincibility through sensitive intuition and flexible mentality.
‘We are all visitors to this time, this place. We are just passing through. Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love... and then we return home.’ - Australian Aboriginal Proverb

I walked into Bullseye with a purpose, but as soon as I stepped through the sliding doors, I felt the familiar rush of excitement. The holiday season was in full swing, and my mind was set on finding the perfect decorations for my sister Quency's Christmas tree. She always had a way of turning her living room into something magical, and this year, I promised to help her make it even more special.
I grabbed a red cart and made my way through the aisles, eyeing shimmering garlands, twinkling lights, and a mix of ornaments in every color imaginable. As I picked up a few glass baubles that shimmered in the store lights, I couldn't help but smile. It was funny how something as simple as Christmas decorations could bring back so many memories.

This was taken on my first visit to Canyonlands NP. I was amazed at the silent, timeless beauty of the place and found it interesting to observe that this image, were it to be taken, at a different time of the year, would be an almost completely different image due to the sun striking the arch at a different point.
Being here reminded me of the Navajo prayer of Walking in Beauty. You just had to show up; the photo takes itself.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Oophaga pumilio, (formerly Dendrobates pumilio)
Not the most poisonous of the dendrobatids, but is the most toxic member of its genus.
This guy was almost 1 inch long.
Arrow poisons are used to poison arrow heads or darts for the purposes of hunting and warfare. They have been used by indigenous peoples worldwide and are still in use in areas of South America, Africa and Asia. Notable examples are the poisons secreted from the skin of the poison dart frog, and curare (or 'ampi'), a general term for a range of plant-derived arrow poisons used by the indigenous peoples of South America.

A large and conspicuous waterbird, the cormorant has an almost primitive appearance with its long neck making it appear almost reptilian...It is often seen standing with its wings held out to dry. Regarded by some as black, sinister and greedy, cormorants are supreme fishers which can bring them into conflict with anglers and they have been persecuted in the past...The UK holds internationally important wintering numbers...
