- ..look, over there over the forest - a rainbow.. ..they say where the rainbow touches the earth - there are hidden treasures .. "
I stand on the edge of the kampong and look at the forest.
Fringe groups and outcasts live in the forest.
But in Kampong, an official village settlement, there are citizens loyal to the state.
So... In the forest live wild, semi-wild and already civilized but hiding "marginals" - and they are only Papuans. And of course the outcasts in the forest are not interested in reducing the area of the forest in which they live. . And, of course, between the forest and the village there are related, commercial and other relationships - the movement of goods, products and raw materials. It is clear that officials are interested in expanding their sphere of influence. And it is clear that the number of islanders untouched by civilization is steadily decreasing.
And unfortunately, like everywhere else in the world, the area of the forest is also shrinking.
- I wonder where the rainbow is pointing? Maybe it for another kampong..? "

A unique raw material on the island:
Unlike most island volcanic cones, Rano Raraku is composed of a unique type of rock on the island known as the Lapilli tuff. The tuff is a porous rock formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash ejected during an eruption, which when cooled, in contact with the atmosphere, is compacted and hardened.
The main characteristic of this volcanic tuff is its low hardness under the surface, compared to basalt, which encouraged the ancient sculptors to use it as raw material to carve the huge statues.
It is striking that most of the tuff is concentrated in the southeast half of the cone, coinciding with the vertical wall, and just emerges a little in the northern half. According to some geologists, this large rocky cliff would be the only remnant of an ancient submarine volcano. Which, largely disappeared due to erosion, was later covered by red ash emitted by the new adjacent crater. This would explain the great difference of materials found on both sides of the Rano Raraku.

Does anyone else start planning their next holiday the day they get back from the previous one? Me too.
The Pinnacles are limestone formations within Nambung National Park, near the town of Cervantes, Western Australia. The area contains thousands of weathered limestone pillars. Some of the tallest pinnacles reach heights of up to 3.5 m above the yellow sand base.. Amazing to think the raw material for the limestone of the Pinnacles came from seashells in an earlier era that was rich in marine life. The local Aboriginal community believes that the Pinnacles are fossilized ghosts, how cool is that! I want to visit again at nighttime, that would be magical. Being part of a dark sky reserve and so remote, it has some of the darkest skies in Australia. The nighttime vista must look incredibly alien & amazing.
Hope to catchup on everyone's feeds soon :)

……See on the walk from Watendlath to Rosthwaite in Borrowdale. Now I always thought the shortest distance between two points is the most economical use of raw materials! Clearly no shortage of stones on the Fells in Cumbria back in the day - I can’t help thinking what was in the way to cause these dry stone wall builders to skirt around? or is there another reason?

Train Cemetery - Uyuni
In 1872 began the construction of the railway from Antofagasta to Bolivia, the first railway line in the country. It was used to transport raw materials such as sodium nitrate and other salts, but also metals such as copper, silver, and gold, from inland mines to port cities on the Pacific Ocean. When the railway reached Uyuni at the end of the 19th century, a railway depot was built in the town. Uyuni then became an important railway junction. Around the 1940s, the local industry collapsed and most of the precious metal mines were abandoned. As a result, the locomotives and railcars were no longer needed, were shut down and left abandoned.
There is a total of around 100 locomotives and carriages in the railway graveyard, the oldest of which date from the late 19th century.
Cementerio de Trenes - Uyuni
En 1872 se inició la construcción del Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia, la primera línea férrea de Bolivia. Se utilizaba para transportar materias primas como el nitrato de sodio y otras sales, pero también metales como el cobre, la plata y el oro, desde las minas del interior hasta las ciudades portuarias del Océano Pacífico. Cuando la vía férrea llegó a Uyuni a finales del siglo XIX se construyó un depósito ferroviario en el pueblo. Uyuni se convirtió en ese entonces en un importante nudo ferroviario. Alrededor de la década de 1940, la industria local colapsó y la mayoría de las minas de metales preciosos fueron abandonadas. Como resultado, la mayoría de las locomotoras y vagones ya no fueron necesarios, se apagaron y se dejaron en abandono.
Hay un total de alrededor de 100 locomotoras y vagones en el cementerio ferroviario, los más antiguos de los cuales datan de finales del siglo XIX.

As the small farms disappear across the prairie landscape, so disappears the historic buildings which depict the life of the early settlers. They used the raw materials that were on hand to construct buildings such as this barn from the field stones or "erratics" left by the retreating glaciers and who knows where the materials came for the roofs.
Many are still around such as this one near Killam, Alberta, Canada and should be recorded for future generations to enjoy.
There are many talented photographers out there who should make a point of recording these iconic locations and structures then sharing them with the rest of the digital world for posterity.

The 16th sculpture park took place in Barmstedt over Pentecost. I've been fascinated by the sculptures from the German artist Diedel Klöver for 10 years.
Under the term "Yard Art", he breathes new life into old iron - scrap art-
Rusty metal in all forms is the raw material for the artist. From old tools,
he creates deceptively lifelike sculptures of animals and people with flex and the welding machine using scraps of metal or chains.

Theobroma cacao (Cocoa)
Plant
Theobroma cacao is a small evergreen tree in the Malvaceae family. Its seeds—cocoa beans—are used to make chocolate liquor, cocoa solids, cocoa butter and chocolate. Although the tree is native to the tropics of the Americas, the largest producer of cocoa beans in 2022 was Ivory Coast.
Source:

Scientific name: Theobroma cacao
Family: Malvaceae
Genus : Theobroma
Kingdom : Plantae
Order: Malvales
Cocoa is the main raw material for chocolate, made by roasting and grinding its dried beans in an industrial or homemade process.
Fundación La Choza
La Choza es una fundación situada en lo que anteriormente fuera la estancia del Dr. Bernardo de Irigoyen. Erigidas en el centro de estos terrenos se destacan la casa señorial y una capilla campestre, testigos históricos de la vida de Don Bernardo, quien llamaba a la Choza su "santuario de silencio donde meditar los grandes problemas del país".
Actualmente, el ochenta por ciento de la tierra está destinada al pastoreo del ganado bovino, fuente de la producción láctea y materia prima para el trabajo diario en el tambo.
La producción hortícola ocupa cuatro hectáreas, a la cual se suma alrededor de ciento cincuenta árboles frutales y cultivos de plantas aromáticas y medicinales.
Asimismo contamos con un vivero de plantas nativas de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, el cual presenta como principal objetivo la recuperación del control biológico del lugar mediante la forestación.
Con un fuerte componente educativo y un amplio compromiso con la producción biológico-dinámica de alimentos saludables, en la Fundación La Choza concebimos el trabajo agropecuario al servicio de la vida social.

La Choza Foundation
La Choza is a foundation located in what was previously the residence of Dr. Bernardo de Irigoyen. Erected in the middle of these grounds stands the manor house and a country chapel, historical witnesses of the life of Don Bernardo, who called the Shack his "sanctuary of silence where to meditate the great problems of the country."
At present, eighty percent of the land is destined to cattle grazing, source of dairy production and raw material for daily work in the dairy.
The horticultural production occupies four hectares, to which is added about one hundred and fifty fruit trees and crops of aromatic and medicinal plants.
We also have a nursery of native plants of the Province of Buenos Aires, which has as main objective the recovery of the biological control of the place by means of afforestation.
With a strong educational component and a broad commitment to the biological-dynamic production of healthy foods, at the La Choza Foundation we conceive agricultural work at the service of social life.
I wonder where the engineers of this dam sourced it's stone from? There is an abundance along the banks as well as under the lake itself.

In the ASTRA National Museum Complex, Sibiu, Romania
The Romanian cultural association ASTRA decided in 1897 to establish a museum of Romanian civilization as a "shelter for keeping the past". The "ASTRA" Museum of Traditional Folk Civilization (Romanian: Muzeul Civilizaţiei Populare Tradiţionale "ASTRA") is located in the Dumbrava Forest, 3 km south of Sibiu. Occupying an area of 0.96 square kilometers, it is the largest open-air museum in Romania and one of the largest in Central and Eastern Europe. It contains houses and workshops of the traditional Romanian folk culture from the pre-industrial era. Over 300 houses and other buildings are situated in the forest around two artificial lakes with over 10 km of walkways between them.
The exhibits are organized into six thematic groups: food production and animal husbandry; production of raw materials; means of transportation; manufacture of household objects; public buildings; an exposition of monumental sculpture. (Wikipedia)

Don't wait for good things to come your way. Go out there and grab any chance whenever you see one. Get those lemons together with some salt and tequila and enjoy it with your friends - or maybe make lemonade out of it instead or bake a lemon cake. Use it to make something good! Make a change. Your life is in your own hands. If you fall, don't just lay down and wait for someone to lend you a hand. Get up and keep walking your path! You are strong, you are amazing and talented. Be bold, because you are beautiful on the inside and outside. You hold your fate in your own hands. We are all like carbon. Carbon is everywhere. Sometimes you might think that it's nothing special but add pressure and heat and it'll turn into a Diamond.

The 70's and early 80's were good years for the BAR. They had 3 large paper mills online and handled much of the raw materials used in the making paper and of course the outbound loads. The Great Northern Mill located in East Millinocket was served out of Millinocket by 2 crews 7 days a week 365 days a year. With Bunker C on the point No 161 is arriving East Mill and the first order of business will be to switch the fuel track. The mill at East Mill along with the mill in Millinocket are no more and while the tracks remain there is no business.

"Amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics".
Whilst a lot of flashing images have been on peoples' telescreens of late, it is clear a lot of people have become armchair generals and sitting room diplomats.
However, physical reality determines what happens in the real world. Some countries ought to be doing certain things for sure but that is a world away from what is happening.
Recent events have shown some countries are stronger or weaker than hitherto imagined. Some alliances or power blocks will no doubt get a rude awakening.
If events are as portrayed, then realignments are inevitable and
access to raw materials will become key. To have such resources, global trade needs to continue as expected, or you need to have your own primary and secondary industries and have not mothballed them or sold them off to a country that no longer likes you.
Also, it is hard to be at war with a country upon whom you are resource-dependent for the next five years (conservative estimate).
PS. Having a look at Orwell's map for 1984 power blocks map is somewhat illuminating.

Barcelona, Spain.
A spectacular head-on collision between two galaxies, known as Arp 143, has fueled the unusual triangular-shaped star-formation frenzy as captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
The interacting galaxy duo Arp 143 contains the distorted, star-forming spiral galaxy NGC 2445, at right, along with its less flashy companion, NGC 2444, at left. Their frenzied collision takes place against the tapestry of distant galaxies, of which some can be seen through the interacting pair.
Astronomers suggest that the two galaxies passed through each other, igniting the uniquely shaped firestorm of star formation in NGC 2445, where thousands of stars are bursting into life. This galaxy is awash with new stars because it is rich in gas, the raw material from which stars are made. However, it hasn’t yet escaped the gravitational clutches of its partner at left. The pair is waging a cosmic tug-of-war, which NGC 2444 appears to be winning. That galaxy has pulled gas from NGC 2445, forming the oddball triangle of newly minted stars.
NGC 2444 is also responsible for yanking strands of gas from its partner, stoking the streamers of young, blue stars that appear to form a bridge between the two galaxies. These streamers are among the first in what appears to be a wave of star formation that started on the galaxy’s outskirts and continued inward. Researchers estimate the streamer stars were born between 50 million and 100 million years ago. But these infant stars are being left behind as NGC 2445 continues to pull slowly away from NGC 2444.
Stars no older than one million to two million years old are forming closer to the centre of NGC 2445. Hubble’s keen vision reveals some individual stars, the brightest and most massive in the galaxy. Most of the brilliant blue clumps are groupings of stars and the pink blobs are glowing gas clouds enshrouding young, massive star clusters.
Although most of the action is happening in NGC 2445, it doesn’t mean the other member of the interacting pair has escaped unscathed. The gravitational tussle has stretched NGC 2444 into an odd shape, yanking gas far from the galaxy. NGC 2444 contains old stars and no new starbirth because it lost its gas long ago, well before this galactic encounter.
Aside from the star formation in NGC 2445, another interesting feature that Hubble has uncovered is the dark filaments of gas in the starburst galaxy’s bright core. Those features may have been formed by outbursts of material. Radio observations reveal a powerful source in the core that may be spearheading the outbursts. The radio source may have been produced by intense star formation or a black hole gobbling up material flowing into the centre.
It’s not uncommon for star formation to occur in the cores of galaxies, driven by interactions. Plenty of gas from galactic encounters flows into the centre, which can trigger the birth of new stars. Outflows from these stars can drive material out, but the dust created by these outbursts blankets the core and other regions throughout NGC 2445, making it difficult for Hubble to study in visible light.
However, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope will have the infrared vision to peer through the dust covering these regions to reveal the young star clusters that are hidden from view in visible-light images. In this way, Hubble and Webb will provide the full census of stars in NGC 2445. The census will help astronomers answer questions such as what the star-formation rate is, how long it takes for stars to form, and whether the starburst in NGC 2445 is fading or just heating up.
Studying young, massive star clusters still embedded in their dust and gas cocoons is important for understanding how star formation affects the evolution of galaxies. Massive stars that explode as supernovae enrich their environment with chemical elements heavier than hydrogen and helium.
The Arp 143 system is listed in a compendium of 338 unusual-looking interacting galaxies called the “Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies” published in 1966 by astronomer Halton Arp.
