The Mecabricks material system upgrade includes the possibility to assign some sort of roughness values to each element. Rendered images are much more accurate to real life parts however it will take some time before all pieces are assessed one by one.

This is a photo of the road surface of the A27 highway near where I live. I wanted to experiment with using the lights of passing cars to light up the road surface. I was happy with how the outer headlight of each car delineated the edge of the road.
My wife jogs north on Halstead in the mornings before work. She has been telling me for months, that the Glories have been in bloom. For one reason or another, the weekend mornings were busy and I couldn't get up there, until today. Enjoy!

Dust devils make dark, diffuse “scribble markings” on the Martian surface by kicking up dust, and are especially active in the summertime over dark surfaces, such as those with many deposits of sand-sized material. The surface warms up in the sunlight, creating the right conditions to loft fine material into the air to form dust devils. Mars also has larger dust storms that can deposit a thin layer of dust and eliminate the dust devil tracks.
This image shows a small portion of the dunes in Russell Crater (54.9°S, 12.4°E), which is of special interest due to peculiar channels that formed on the steep slopes.

Yavapai and Apache
Yavapai and Apache history spans several hundred years in the Verde Valley at a minimum. The tribes generally coexisted, as two culturally distinct groups in the country surrounding the Verde River. In the case of the Yavapai, they extended westward from the Verde Country out into the low desert bordering the Colorado River and for the Tonto Apache, eastward from the Verde River towards the White Mountains. Both groups ranged as far north as the Grand Canyon for resources and south to the Phoenix Basin, where they had common enemies in the Pima, Papago and Maricopa. Both Yavapai and Apache regularly traded with the Hopi. The Apache of the Verde Valley regularly raided into Old Mexico.
The Yavapai are a Yuman speaking tribe, as are all Upland Pai tribes (Hualapai, Havasupai, Yavapai and the displaced Pai Pai of Baja del Norte). Many archaeologists assume that they arrived in the Verde Valley around AD 1300, although their history suggests a much earlier arrival. They are linguistically and culturally unrelated to the Apache, who live in eastern and central Arizona. Due to the general similarities of, black hair, basket technology and subsistence adaptations, the Yavapai were often mistakenly referred to as "Mohave-Apache" by Euro-American observers, especially by the military, who unfortunately did not as a rule concern themselves with cultural nuance.
The Yavapai were semi-nomadic hunter-gathers who lived and traveled in small groups within specific home territories. The Wipukupaya group occupied the Red Rock country including Oak Creek Canyon and the area east to the Verde Valley.
The term Apache applies to a diverse group of Na-Diné (Athapaskan) speaking tribes and bands, who entered the Southwest before the arrival of Europeans. In the 19th century the Apaches inhabited a broad area from central Arizona to southern Texas and northern Mexico. Many Apache groups were nomadic or seminomadic and traveled over large areas, including areas visited or inhabited by other tribes. They lived with a light hand on the landscape. With a mainly perishable material culture and a life on the surface, very little artifactual evidence survives to pinpoint any chronological entry into the region let alone from where and how many. This makes it difficult to correlate geographic locations with any single specific cultural group, or even with a particular tribe.
Some archaeologists place the Tonto-Apache arrival in the Verde Valley around 1450, others such as tribal archaeologist Chris Coder place the arrival up to two-centuries earlier and believes they arrived just after the great regional disruption at the end of the thirteenth century based on Hopi oral traditions. Physical evidence of Tonto Apache (known to themselves as Dil zhee', translated as “The Hunters”) use is found in the Beaver Creek area, though some rock art at Honanki and Palatki indicates they were on the west side of the Sedona area as well.
When the Spanish explorer Antonio Espejo arrived in the Verde Valley in 1583, he described the Yavapai and Apache as “rustic people” who “gave us what they had.” They were described as a hunting and gathering people. The American entrance into Yavapai and Apache traditions began in earnest after 1860. Exploring and trapping parties had made their way here earlier, but no effort had been made to settle. In 1863, Indian hostilities resulted from the establishment of mining camps on their ancestral lands and due to the active murder, deceit and poisoning of Apache, in particular, by the confederate deserter, King Woolsey. These hostilities continued without interruption until General Crook rounded up the surviving Yavapai and Apache and took them to the Rio Verde Reservation in 1872. This usurpation of their Homelands and sequestering on the Rio Verde Reserve is referred to as the “conquest” by the Yavapai-Apache Nation. They remained there until March 1875, when an estimated 1,500 Yavapai and Apache were moved from the Rio Verde Indian Reserve 180 miles away to the Indian Agency at San Carlos. The forced removal, now known as Exodus Day, of the indigenous people of the Verde Valley resulted in scores of lives lost and the loss of nine hundred square miles of Executive Order lands promised to the Yavapai-Apache by the United States government. When they were finally allowed to leave San Carlos in 1900, only about 200 Yavapai and Apache actually made it back to their homeland in the Verde Valley.
The modern Yavapai-Apache Nation is the artificial amalgamation of these two distinct cultures, who occupied opposite sides of the Verde Valley for centuries prior to the Euro-American conquest of the Southwest. The Nation as we know it today is the result of legislation passed by the Congress in 1934 known as the Indian Reorganization Act, in an effort to establish a single tribe in the Upper Verde Valley. This was done as an expedient by the federal government who believed that the shared experience of the Yavapai and Apache at San Carlos from 1875 to around 1899 rationalized this as a legitimate act. Today the several satellite communities of the Nation truly reflect the evolution from two historically distinct Tribes into the single Nation of today. The Nation is a single political entity but still respects its dual heritage as an important legacy for all of the descendants from those times. Today Reservation Trust Lands include almost 2,000 acres spread across the four separate parcels in the tribal communities of Lower Camp Verde, Middle Verde, Clarkdale and Rimrock.

This video is shot in TEAMLAB Planets in Odaiba. They call it an art experience museum. You have to make a reservation.
You have to take off your shoes and socks and roll up the sleaves of your pants or you can borrow some shorts. You can store your stuff in a locker. You can take your camera and phone but don't drop it in the water! Then you enter a hall trough streaming water and go through different rooms with different effects. This one is called drawing on the water surface.
It is a room with cloudy white water till your knees. Then they have projectors that can project different things on the water. Again, the effect you want can be controlled through the app. I think the projection is from the bottom. Then there are sensors that know where each person is so the things are projected around each individual person. Here you can see koi swimming around you.
In Tokyo there is TEAMLAB Planets and TEAMLAB Borderless. I've seen both. I liked Planets better because it was way less crowded and didn't have to wait in line for some rooms. Both are good. It is expensive but its different and I would say it's worth it.

On the test roll of my Zorki 4 there was this image that was basically a reflection of some sort of crane on the water with some steps leading in. I found it more interesting upside down for getting almost a sensation of being under water looking up through the surface.

The princes and cubs have all been totally deboxed, and are standing next to each other. The princes are a bit unstable free standing, even on a hard flat surface. That is because their feet are small, they are very top heavy and not exactly balanced. So I had to put them on small doll stands.
My first look at the 6 piece Triplets Brave Doll Set. It was released by the Disney Store on Monday May 14, 2012 online and in stores, along with many other Brave merchandise. It's cost is $19.50 US. The set consists of the triplet princes in kilts as 4 1/2'' tall dolls, and the three bear cubs, as 4 3/4'' tall hollow plastic cases for the princes to transform into cubs. The prince dolls have arms and legs that are molded into fixed positions on their bodies; only their heads can move.
First I photographed the set in the unopened box. Then with the dolls taken out of the box, but still attached to the inner cardboard backing, which slides out of the box like a tray. Then I remove the triplets from the backing, and transform the triplet princes to triplet cubs. Finally I pose the triplets in various transformational states with Formal Merida (from the Angus and Merida doll set).
In Vancouver’s early days, the streets were “paved” with wooden blocks. They’re still there, and when the asphalt wears through, as on Jackson Street ((at Alexander) you can see the past in the present. See this for more info: scoutmagazine.ca/2017/01/16/you-should-know-our-city-stre...

Great Diving Beetle, Dytiscus marginalis, (larva).
Great Diving Beetle larvae are the young stage of a large water beetle.
They live in freshwater ponds and are fierce carnivores, growing to about five centimetres in length
The large, pointed, sickle-shaped jaws are sunk into the prey like hypodermic needles. Digestive enzymes are pumped into the body of the prey and the resulting 'soup' is sucked back up.
Great Diving Beetle larvae will eat anything they can catch. Their favourite prey includes tadpoles and any other insects within reach. They are also cannibalistic and will eat other Great Diving Beetle larvae. Large larvae in the final stage before pupation, are of sufficient size to even catch and eat small fish.
The larvae often appear scorpion-like in the water because they move about with their tails extended vertically upwards. They will frequently push the tail up through the water surface to take in atmospheric oxygen through the terminal spiracle (air-hole).
The larvae pupate on land, eventually turning into adult beetles which return to the water.
The adults also spend their lives in the water, although they are capable of flying and will disperse from one pond to another.
Like the larvae, the adults are fiercely carnivorous and their fringed legs are an adaptation which helps them to be good swimmers.
