Monitoring the brine shrimp population of the Great Salt Lake is the responsibility of The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. This team is returning from a sampling run.
Multiple commercial operators on the Great Salt Lake harvest brine shrimp October - January. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has safeguards to prevent overharvesting.
The land behind the boat is an exposed reef. This reef should be underwater, but due to the low levels of the lake, the reef is exposed.
GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
In the forefront there is a huge mansion which looks more like a white dirt in this huge plateau. This is, I suppose what is big data is meant and the setting is in Guizhou, one of the poorest province in China both in terms of output and natural resources. The government improved the transport network there and designated it the centre of all big data, as the place is largely 3K metre above sea level, and is so cool that it saves a lot of fuel in cooling down the relevant machines. Btw, this is also the birthplace of the boss of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei, even though I'm not sure where his house arrested daughter in Canada was born.

51 Mountain Street
Ball House
The original stone portion of this house has a two-storey, five bay aspect facing the driveway. The main facade is of split face ashlar coursing with cut stone quoins. The sidewalls are of a more random coursing and all stone is chiefly local. All the windows have solid stone sills; some with solid stone lintels and others with a flat arch of the same local stone. The land on which the building is located was originally a Crown Grant to George Ball in 1796. The property was sold to the Public Works Department in 1843 and was then turned over to the Welland Canal Loan Company. During this period, the building was used as the home of the lockmaster, overseeing the work of 17 locktenders.

I decided to share this image for the upcoming #macromondays theme called #GamePieces
Game pieces are physical or digital objects used in board games, tabletop games, and video games to represent players, characters, resources, or other game elements. They come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, depending on the game’s mechanics and theme.
Types of Game Pieces
Player Tokens – Represent individual players on the game board (e.g., Monopoly tokens, Chess pieces).
Meeples – Small, humanoid wooden figures used in Euro-style board games (e.g., Carcassonne).
Dice – Used for randomization, movement, or determining outcomes (e.g., Dungeons & Dragons, Yahtzee).
Cards – Can serve as game pieces when used for actions, characters, or resources (e.g., Magic: The Gathering, Uno).
Tiles – Used to build maps or change the game layout (e.g., Settlers of Catan, Mahjong).
Miniatures – Detailed figurines representing characters or units, often used in strategy and role-playing games (e.g., Warhammer, D&D).
Chips & Tokens – Represent points, money, or resources (e.g., poker chips, victory points in board games).
Board Markers or Pawns – Basic pieces used for movement on a board (e.g., Sorry!, Ludo).

Today I did a long walk in the woods/ in a wilderness area. It's fog time, I love it.
So I found this place, again I guess. This time I clambered some slopes of Muschelkalk. These beeches stand on a marginal site (Grenzertagsstandort) and were not affected by human activities for a long time. They can grow in every possible form, get old and die in a period of a human lifespan.
It's very dry and most of the soil can't hold up much water. I still cannot understand that these trees are still alive and not dead as on other (better) stands. The third year with too little precipitation. They must be very good adapted to this extremly dry conditions. Good genetitc resources with regard to climate change...

Excerpt from www.cambridge.ca/en/learn-about/resources/Dickson-Hill-HC...:
Dickson Hill is one of the most unique communities in the City of Cambridge. Dickson Hill is named for the Honourable William Dickson, a prominent Galt settler who arrived to the area in 1816. Dickson is credited with founding the Village of Galt due to his considerable land holdings and was responsible for much of the commercial development on the west bank of the Grand River.
His son, William Dickson Jr., acquired most of the lands that currently make up the residential area of Dickson Hill. His own residence, located at 16 Byng Avenue was constructed in 1832. The development of the residential component occurred over several decades and by a series of developers. Florence Dickson, niece to William Dickson Jr., and his heir, controlled the development of this area until the 1890’s.
Dickson Hill features an extremely high concentration of significant buildings of various types: residential, institutional, commercial and manufacturing. In addition to the buildings, key elements that define the character of Dickson Hill are:
• Tree-lined streets;
• Distinctive globe street lights; and
• Prominent urban public spaces and landscape features.
Wagner Falls is a waterfall on Wagner Creek near Munising, in Alger County, Upper Michigan. They are in the Wagner Falls Scenic Site, a Michigan State Park of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
The falls are located near the junction of M-28 and M-94 and can be reached by a short trail and boardwalk. Water flowing over the falls joins the Anna River below the falls, and flows into Lake Superior near Munising.

"M." is not happy. Sent by her family to a strange place, she has only been told that some sort of agreement needs to be reached. Apparently there is some shady man with considerable resources who is willing to lend enough money to keep the family business afloat. That is all well and good, though she is angry she does not know the details even though she thinks she is there for negotiation. And soon, her anger is going to spike, as in exchange for the loan this man wants a gift.. and the gift is M. herself.

Fotografies de la zona de combats de la Batalla del Ebre (1938).
Aquest és el Celler Cooperatiu de Gandesa, una preciosa obra de modernisme industrial. Construit per Cèsar Martinell el 1920, és una de les "Catedrals del Vi". Per desgracia, també fou escenari de combats durant la batalla. De fet, fins als seus murs arribaren els soldats republicans que provaven de conquerir Gandesa. Però no passaren d'aquí,
La batalla de l'Ebre (25 juliol - 16 novembre de 1938) fou la més important i mortifera de la guerra civil espanyola. Hi ha que també la consideren també la més decisiva, però crec que per desgracia la guerra ja estava decidida de molt abans, com a minim des del trencament del front d'Aragó el 9 de març del mateix any.
Tot i que l'exèrcit republicà creuà l'Ebre el 25 de juliol del 1938 per molts punts entre Mequinensa i Amposta, la major part dels combats de la batalla es donaren a la Terra Alta, a la zona entre Vilalba dels Arcs, La Fatarella, Camposines i Gandesa, a més de la Serra de Pandols.

============================================
This is part of the Ebro battlefield (1938), in Southern Catalonia.
This beautiful industrial building is the Celler Cooperatiu de Gandesa, an art nouveau winery, built in 1920 by Cèsar Martinell. It's one of the so called "Wine Cathedrals" of southern Catalonia.
But it also was a combat scenery for the high watermark of the early Republican ofensive in the Ebro. This was the furthest the Republican soldiers reached, during the siege of Gandesa, specially on the 31th of July.
The Battle of the Ebro (July 25 - November 16, 1938) was the most important and deadlier of the Spanish Civil War. There are those who also consider it the most decisive, but I think that unfortunately the war was already decided long before, at least since the breaking of the front of Aragon on March 9 of the same year.
The battle began with the greatest offensive made by the Republican forces, when they crossed the river Ebro between Mequinensa and Amposta (especially between Riba-roja and Miravet), and advanced to the line La Pobla de Massaluca -Vilalba dels Arcs -Gandesa - Serra de Pandols . But in just 48 hours, the dazzling advance was stopped short. Then Franco decided to crush the republican forces hill by hill (with massive artillery and bomber barrages), in a battle of attrition identical to the First World War for which the Republicans had no resources or alternative, especially with the river behind them. The main assaults, which lasted from August 10 to October 29, were concentrated in a very small and devastated area: the triangle Vertex Gaeta - Corbera - Camposines.
Finally, a final offensive on October 30 occupied the ridge of the Serra de Cavalls, making the entire Republican bridgehead unsustainable, which managed, however, to withdraw in an orderly manner until November 16. But the damage was already done, and there were no forces left for a proper defense of Catalonia, which fell three months later. Then, fascist darkness.

Sauberes Wasser ist eine der wichtigsten Ressourcen.

She can nest any time of year, in the most inhospitable climates, even during the frigid cold of winter. The factor that regulates nesting time is the availability of food rather than the time of year. When food is abundant, white-winged crossbills will use these resources to raise their young. They are amazingly well adapted little birds with an abundance of energy. The seeds of Tamarack seem to be one of their favorites. #WhitewingedCrossbills #BirdsoftheArtic
This fence definitely was a use of the available resources, and very little cash was expended in its construction. I actually see this quite often, but usually not next to a main road....HFF everyone!

Driving and walking rovers competed to survey a shadowy analogue of the south polar lunar surface for useable resources during the inaugural ESA-ESRIC Space Resources Challenge. Some 13 teams from across Europe and Canada took part in last month’s field test, with the winners due to be announced shortly.
The Space Resources Challenge – supported by ESA and the European Space Resources Innovation Centre (ESRIC) in Luxembourg – is asking European (and Canadian) researchers and institutions to develop and demonstrate a system of one or more vehicles capable of prospecting resources on the Moon in the near future.
Massimo Sabbatini, overseeing the contest for ESA, comments: “ESA is analysing the results of the first field test of the Challenge and the competition is fierce. There was a wide range of participants and technological solutions to the problem of prospecting: notably different locomotion techniques – legged, wheeled, tracked, and so on – and approaches, such as single versus multiple vehicles and aerial vehicles. The jury is out!”
The emphasis of the contest is on prospecting: pinpointing promising resources within a difficult lunar environment then characterising them in as much detail as possible, such as through visual inspection or spectral analysis.
The lunar poles are a focus of interest for future exploration. They do not experience the crippling temperature extremes of the Moon’s two-week days and nights, and frozen water and other deposits are believed to be buried within permanently shadowed polar craters.
The Space Resources Challenge teams gathered at Valkenberg in the Netherlands had to contend with challenging illumination conditions and potential loss of signal events to locate resources, including mapping a small impact crater in the vicinity of the rover’s lander – all within a two and a half hour time limit.
The five winners will be awarded €375 000 in ESA contracts, with a larger prize pool on offer after a follow-on field test hosted by ESRIC next year.

This weed (Ctenium aromaticum, toothachegrass) has become one of my favorite subjects to shoot and my apologies as I seem to be pretty much addicted to it.
Factoid from USDA/NRCS: The stem, when erect, has an enlarged base and contains a substance that deadens the tongue and gums when chewed. Hey, now this might be fun to try! :)
Thanks to USDA/NRCS (Percy Magee, USDA NRCS National Plant Data Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana) online resources for the identification and additional information!

Even with so few resources, they were able to build the Giza pyramids perfectly aligned with the Orion Belt. In addition, they are totally north-facing, with a very low margin of error.
The Sphinx that guards the pyramids of Giza does not have the nose. An ancient legend said that Napoleon and his soldiers had destroyed him. But more recent studies have shown that even before Napoleon the Sphinx no longer had a nose. And the mystery remains!
***
The pyramid trio of Giza (or Giza) was erected at the behest of the Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure pharaohs, respectively, father, son and grandson. The three pyramids are arranged in order of size and age.
The largest, oldest and most famous of all is the Pyramid of Khufu, also known as the Great Pyramid. Originally 146 m (9 m more than presently, since it lacks part of the top and the lining) and 230 m of base, it is formed by more than 2 million blocks of stone weighing about 2.5 tons each and some arrive to weigh even more than double that (!!!!). The construction of the pyramid is surrounded by mysteries and impresses.
Next is the Pyramid of Khafre, son of Cheops. The pyramid is 143 m high and 210 m high, and although it is a little smaller than the first one, it appears to be larger since it is 10 m higher. It is the only one that kept the limestone cladding with which the pyramids were covered and which was mined in the Middle Ages for the construction of the medieval city of Cairo. Such a shame! Imagine how beautiful they should be, covered in white limestone gleaming in the sun?
It is as big as the Khufu pyramid, but not as famous as it is, so harassment is minor! Oh, and not to mention that she has, as guardian, no one else less than the Great Sphinx, which with the lion-shaped body and human head, is the image of Pharaoh Khafren himself. Although many have been disappointed by the size of the Sphinx it is, yes, huge! It is 20 m high and 57 m long. Of course, if we compare with the size of the pyramids and even of other statues like those of Abu Simbel or those of the Temples of Luxor, the sphinx is really small. But nothing that takes away its luster or diminishes its beauty.
The pyramid of Miquerinos - son of Khephren and grandson of Khufu - is the smallest of the three, it is "only" 66 m high and 108 m high. Next to the pyramid of Miquerinos, there are 3 smaller pyramids that belong to the 3 wives of the Pharaoh. The same can be seen in the other pyramids as well, but here they are better preserved and more visible.
I think most people imagine that the pyramids are "lost" in the middle of the desert and that it is difficult to reach them, right? None of this! They are practically in the middle of the city. They stay in Giza (or Giza) in the Cairo metropolitan area. Unfortunately, it is possible to see the city from almost anywhere in the Giza complex, which spoils the magic of the place a bit ... but just turn your back and you will not see anything but sand and pyramids!

(10/365) Resources - You don't always have travel for miles on end, or wake up at the crack of dawn to 'get that shot'.
Instead make best use of the resources that you have.
Planetary Resources Mining Drone Carrier "STREIFF" is another one of the "war horses" of the Planetary Resources (PR) mining flotilla.
After the war was over PR quickly bought a large number of unused war ships. The bankrupt governments of the newly formed Confederacy where eager to sell. This way PR could quickly start to mine the newly opened asteroid fields and establish themselves as one of the most powerful mining companies of the galaxy.
Streiff is a command ship that has been stripped down and rebuilt into at drone carrier. New additions are upgraded drone link arrays, rock analysis sensors and several different repair modules. Streiff can carry 30 medium mining drones in it's hold but can operate and control up to 200 drones simultaneously. Ore can be loaded inside it but the ship also has docking ports and connections for all kinds of transport ships and containers.
------------------------------------------------
Streiff took just about the entire month to build. I am a house owner and a father of two, so my building time is sparse. I had an entirely different kind of ship planned at first, but just a few days before September 1 I realized it would be too big and that I probably wouldn't be able to finish it.
So here it is! It's about 110 studs long. I have no idea about the amount of bricks used. Lot's of hinges though :)
