I liked the cute quirkiness of this street art transforming exhaust fans and air conditioning intakes into a robot. Fun!

I ROBOT
This is one of the first books I ever read after leaving school and it took me down the long road of Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, J G Ballard, Frederic Pohl, Jack Williamson, Robert A Heinlein and so many others.
So this is a little tribute to those imaginative folk who put pen to paper, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The little clock character was a birthday gift of many moons ago, he seemed appropriate to go on the shelf too. A bit cranky now, he doesn’t stand up by himself but leans in a very casual way and is a good timekeeper.
The next bit is a bit weird, I don’t own a copy of Asimov’s “I Robot” because it’s not in Penguin Books and I only collect Penguin Science fiction but I might make an exception and buy it along with the ‘Foundation' series at some time.
Hope some of you have enjoyed Sci/Fi too and have appreciated those writers and their imaginations. Here are a couple of other titles that I think have gone down in history as classic fiction.
We are never weird on the internet

The fairy girl you see on the sign of the donut cart is a character created by Rita Glad herself in very old times, and it is known that she still appears at the water's edge from time to time and grants wishes. ♥

Category 7. Colonial Futurism
A blend of old-fashioned "retro styles" with futuristic technology. Explores the themes of tension between past and future, and between the alienating and empowering effects of technology - think mecha harvesting wheat, floating parishes, that kinda stuff.
TMI Robotics Club prepares for Saturday's Getting Excited About Robots (GEAR) competition at UTSA. They will compete against more than 150 teams with a robot they have designed and programmed to complete various tasks in as limited time as possible.
My small Droneuary contribution. Thanks to Shamisenfred, Maxx Davidson, and Pohaturon for inspiration and suggestions. It’s a very solid bot, with fun scuttling legs!

When my son was very little he asked me why there were robots lining the Edinburgh City Bypass. I told them that they were sentries whose job was to protect the wild animals from crossing the bypass and getting injured or killed. I took this photo from just beside the busy dual carriageway. The beautiful Pentland Hills are in the background.
A visitor playing with the ‘Robotic Shadow’ in the Tokyo Skytree Town Campus, Chiba Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan. The campus awarded the JAPAN MEDIA ARTS FESTIVAL, Entertainment Division, Jury Selections (2013)… The robot is projection on giant screen… single photo not computer graphics.

ROBOTIC SHADOW: In order to create a robot that enriched everyday lives whilst existing in exquisite symbiosis with humanity, a sensor technology able to "feel" persons' intentions and behavior is imperative. This exhibition is precisely about experiencing the kind of sensor technology that is capable of "feeling" human movement and behaviorism. By utilizing the 3D sensor technology, one's duplicate is enacted on a large screen as if a magnetized aggregate of cubes, toward which a sphere is hurled and scatter the cubes; ultimately leading to an otherworldly, wondrous world. By "feeling" human behaviorisms, it is possible to experience mysterious and playful world of imagination from time to time. www.it-chiba.ac.jp/skytree/index_en.html
First Law: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law: A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws
As soon as Burning Man 2018 ended, "Robot Resurrection" (right) paid a visit to "Big Charles... (An homage to Charlie Smith)" (left).
Both robots are creations by Shane Evans.

You see what you see in rock formations. I see pieces of other robots laying around this surviving robot.
This is the Alien World area and requires a hike in the desert.
I took this photo at the Forum in the city of Groningen, the Netherlands, looking up at the escalators....

Thank you very much!
In conjunction with the launching of the highly anticipated movie of the year “Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen”, an exhibition was held at one of my local shopping malls & it attracted a large crowd of people gathering & taking photos of the popular toy figures that were on display.
I guess it didn’t take you long to figure out I was joining the crowd or I wouldn’t have this photo uploaded on Flickr by now. It was a great family event you could notice how happy & giddy the little kids were. Being an adult, it did not deprive me of having my own fun though...mind you, I had a ball taking photos thru my viewfinder that day.
