Hectic, I didn't really like the size of palladium since I don't have an event pass and they wouldn't let me go up front. Rather shoot void/apollo(tent) even though void is super dark. Also you have to use flashes there.
Loki tends to jump on the back part of my computer chair when I'm typing. Surprised he finds room with my big butt!
He's saving for a PARD008LRF, so first I helped kit him out with an old-school lamping setup, as you can see I cobbled-together several torch-to-scope clamps, almost all with adjustment.
The torches are Deben Tracer LEDRay F600's.
Christchurch, December 10, 2011.
They are taking the building down bit by bit and are to save as much as they can to rebuild it again.
The Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings were the buildings of the Canterbury Provincial Council that administered the Canterbury Province from 1853 until the abolition of provincial government in 1876. The buildings are the only purpose-built provincial government buildings in New Zealand still in existence these days. The buildings were substantially damaged in the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake.
The February 22, 2011 Christchurch earthquake was a magnitude 6.3 (ML) earthquake that struck the Canterbury region in New Zealand's South Island at 12:51 pm on Tuesday, 22 February 2011 local time (23:51 21 February UTC), The earthquake was centred 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of the town of Lyttelton, and 10 kilometres (6 mi) south-east of the centre of Christchurch, New Zealand's second-most populous city. It followed nearly six months after the magnitude 7.1 4 September 2010 Canterbury earthquake, which caused significant damage to Christchurch and the central Canterbury region, but no direct fatalities.
The earthquake caused widespread damage across Christchurch, especially in the central city and eastern suburbs, with damage exacerbated by buildings and infrastructure already being weakened by the 4 September 2010 earthquake and its aftershocks. Significant liquefaction affected the eastern suburbs, producing around 400,000 tonnes of silt. The earthquake was reported to be felt across the South Island and the lower and central North Island.
In total, 182 people were killed in the earthquake, making the earthquake the second-deadliest natural disaster recorded in New Zealand (after the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake), and fourth-deadliest disaster of any kind recorded in New Zealand, with nationals from more than 20 countries among the victims. Over half of the deaths occurred in the six-storey Canterbury Television (CTV) Building, which collapsed and caught fire in the quake. The government declared a state of national emergency, which stayed in force until 30 April 2011.
It has been estimated that the total cost of rebuilding to insurers to be around NZ$15–16 billion, making it by far New Zealand's costliest natural disaster, and the third-costliest earthquake (nominally) worldwide.
The earthquake would ultimately be one of three major earthquakes in a year-long earthquake swarm affecting the Christchurch area, and was followed by a large aftershock on 13 June 2011, which caused considerable additional damage.
1998 must have been a banner year for marigolds... ;) I am trying seeds that Auntie saved... we'll see what grows

About to prune & resurrect an unknown variety of apple on Cape Jellison in Stockton Springs, ME. Mayhaps a St. Lawrence, Red Graventstein or cider apple tree. It was delicious either way & I'm pretty sure someone planted it there many years ago. It's was being choked out by asian bittersweet & shrubs. Spent a rare warm early winter afternoon freeing it from its captors & ridding it of its dead limbs.
This boat was moored quite a distance away. Apparently they noticed it had gotten loose, jumped into a dinghy and chased it down and were able to get it started just as it grounded next to my parent's neighbor's wharf. At one point there were about 20 people out on the floating dock section pulling a line while the boat owner gunned the engine, but it was no use, the boat was stuck. It crashed into the dock at least once but other than a big crunch it didn't look like there was any damage. Eventually someone came with some fenders to help protect it a bit. The wind is blowing directly perpindicular to the boat driving it into the dock.
