A lady photographer attempting to multi-task. Made me smile. Everything stops for photography. Even eating ice-cream.
It's no easy task to get up and over the Laurentian Divide along the CN Rainy Subdivision. This long manifest is starring down the signal in advance of Britt where a meet will take place with some opposing traffic. The continental divide is around 1,570 feet compared to the elevation of 1, 432 feet in Virginia near the intersection of US 53 and 169 roughly five miles down the track.
The peak in the background is Lookout Mountain that reaches 1,851 feet in elevation.

During a routine training and anti-piracy patrol of the S-499 System, Task Force Delta of the Solaris Confederation Navy 2nd Fleet received a garbled distress call reporting an attack from unidentified ships of an unknown alien origin. Admiral Elizabeth Devlyn ordered Task Force Delta to initiate a Space Fold Displacement jump to the distress call’s coordinates. The resulting engagement became known as The Battle of the Warp Gate.
Thought through this one - the sign post, the runner cross the bridge in the foreground, the path winding up to the destination (Snowdon) in the distance. It's good to take time to think about composition sometimes.
I finally managed to make satisfactory versions of Soap and Ghost, and then I built Royce out of the left over parts.
Credit for Ghost's head, Soaps's mohawk, and Royce's vest go to KJ (The Knight).

Out to go sink a cap ship. Or, to get some starbucks. With a vengeance. Group shot including the corvette. I suck at photography. 1 stud = 5 meters.

We are living through unprecedented times of collective suffering; this is a line in the sand where events after the crease will have little resemblance to those before. The streets outside are in turmoil from old human follies and new viral adversaries. Trying to explain these soul-stirring days to myself has been excruciatingly hard. Harder has it been to explain them to my ten-year-old –– and here I was, comically worried about the big sex-ed talk I would need to have with him someday! The world is boiling like the primitive cosmos where the darkness remains unpunctuated; it appears as if there are no beacons in sight.
So, where does one find solace during such malevolent turbulence? Gretel Ehrlich says (in her renowned book), one could find it in open spaces. Well, if one knows where to look, there are plenty of open spaces in a park near us – Yosemite. As you may know, Yosemite is a mental health asylum of some world-class repute. Since obscure times, it has cured numerous suffering souls, including a few luminaries who were primarily lunatics: Charles Weed, John Muir, Ansel Adams, and Fred Olmsted to name a few. It is located geographically in California's heart and spiritually in hearts of million other human beings who could be taxonomized as naturalists, activists, artists, environmentalists, visionaries, or, plain ordinary people, like, yours truly. When I am in Yosemite – or, find Yosemite in me – I perceive peace. You could say, Yosemite's wilderness is my totem of solitude, solace, and hope.
To most, Yosemite’s totem is the Half Dome – a giant granite monolith that stands in congruent humility with its surrounding rocks and clouds. It is unique among all Yosemite domes in having a sheer cliff and a steep vertical face (northwest side), which actually displays a human face in blockprint (a story for another day). Glaciers, time, and light have ebbed and flowed over the humpbacked dome for millions of years, but ‘Tis-sa-ack’ stands proud in deft defiance. The oft-pictured image of Half Dome – the one with the helmet curve, as Ansel put it – is from the West (Glacier point area). From our vantage point the other day, the iconic steward of the park displayed its unglamorous hind side, which features a prominent hump, the eastern sub-dome. In his National Geographic article, William Least Heat-Moon described this view of Half Dome as, “… watching a Shakespearean play from backstage, where old and familiar lines seem different, strange, new”.
Our contemporary times are somewhat similar... old and familiar ways of life now appear ‘different, strange, new’. In his letter to Ansel Adams in 1953, art historian Beaumont Newhall wrote, “In the face of all the present turmoil and unrest and unhappiness… what can a photographer, a writer, a curator do? …To make people aware of the eternal things, or show the relationship of man to nature… is a task that no one should consider insignificant… These are days when eloquent statements are needed”.
Eloquence is not my thing, but here above, you have my statement against everything that attempts to stir darkness in our societies, lives, minds, and hearts.
PS: The title is borrowed from Sylvia Plath’s sonnet Ennui, which was written in 1950s and published in 2006:
“The beast in Jamesian grove will never jump,
compelling hero’s dull career to crisis;
and when insouciant angels play God’s trump,
while bored arena crowds for once look eager,
hoping toward havoc, neither pleas nor prizes
shall coax from doom’s blank door lady or tiger.”
Goddammit. I only intended to make a DCAU Captain Boomerang to go with my DCAU Deadshot, I swear to god. Things just got out of hand, as they often do. (Also I made these like a month ago).
Anyways, here's a bunch of Suicide Squad/ Task Force X members as they appear in the DCAU Canon. I pulled from Justice League, JLU, BTAS, and The Batman Adventures comics for the sources of the designs. All of these are painted in some way except for Harley.
Black Spider, as seen in The Batman Adventures: 2007 Black Skeleton head, Thanos armor, LBM Batman torso, PoP legs.
Clock King, as seen in BTAS and JLU: Harry Potter head, Lone Ranger torso.
Captain Boomerang, as seen in JLU: CMF Butcher hat, Agent Kallus head, SW torso.
Harley is just 2007/8 Harley cause I feel that represents are animated form best.
Deadshot you've seen before.
Count Vertigo, as seen in BTAS: Mad-Eye Moody head, Star Wars torso.
Bronze Tiger, as seen in The Batman Adventures: Catwoman mask, Chima Gorilla head, Reversed Lando torso.
Killer Frost, as seen in JLU: Aurra Sing head.
I didn't make Flag cause he's boring, or Plastique cause she never appeared in costume.
Let me know what you think!
An older woman, squatting at a roadside market, uses a tub of water and a cloth to scrub the soil off carrots. Those of us who have vegetable gardens know about the perennial task of washing the soil off the root vegetables, and it was good be reminded that this is a universal task that defies country boundaries.

High Master Aren Gyyll's Jedi Task Force has been assigned to the planet of Kafrene, and trying to protect it's neutrality, or win them over to the Republic.
L-R
Jedi Padawan Lohirr Sartori
Master Gyyll’s latest Padawan, Lohirr Sartori is adept with the force. Not even an adult yet, Sartori’s training has been rushed due to the outbreak of the Clone Wars. His dream is to replace Jocasta Nu as the Jedi Temple librarian once she could no longer serve. Joining his Master’s Task Force, he can’t wait to see what comes next in his trials to become a Jedi Knight.
Jedi Knight Mara Sol
Former Padawan to Shaak Ti, Mara Sol studied the history of the Jedi and the Galaxy, eventually earning the rank of Knight. Preferring negotiation and diplomacy to conflict and violence, Sol opted for the defensive Soresu form of lightsaber combat. She volunteered to join High Master Gyyll’s Task Force, hoping to unearth some historical discoveries on their mission.
Jedi High Master Aren Gyyll
Jedi High Master Aren Gyyll is an exemplary Jedi. He always maintains a calm head, and follows the Jedi Code to the letter. Even when he lost his sight as a younger Jedi Knight, he never strayed from his teachings, or was swayed by the Dark Side, even for a second. After he reached the rank of Master, he was contacted by a desperate mother from a backwater Rim planet, begging him to take her daughter and train her in the ways of the Jedi. He did so, and instilled his beliefs into her, raising her to become an extraordinary Jedi. Though he is no longer in the prime of his life, Gyyll remains one of the strongest and highest ranking Jedi in the entire Order.
Jedi Knight Kassk Kar'so
Padawan to Coleman Trebor, Kassk Kar’so was a skilled duelist and fierce warrior. Following his master’s death during the Battle of Geonosis, Kar’so was quickly elevated to the rank of Knight to help replaces the losses from the start of the Clone Wars. Kassk volunteered for High Master Gyyll’s Task Force, hoping to get to test his martial prowess against an actual warrior, and not a battle droid.
Jedi Master Master Xira Ven
Hailing from a world where the Force was considered an abomination, Xira was exiled from her family and her home once signs of her force-sensitivity began to show. In an act of mercy, her mother contacted the Jedi Order, handing her over to a young Jedi Master, who took her as his Padawan. Her strength in the Force grew as she aged, and she was quoted to have “personified the Jedi way”. Her skill lead her to be knighted before the age of twenty, and later granted the rank of Master at the age of twenty-five. Almost ten years after becoming a Jedi Master, Ven has yet to take a padawan.
