While the holiday decorations taking over the house, I've set this in my old room for the week. I'm about this.
Mini-blizzards, some sunshine, none of those....and today's cycle starts again. What a day! These snow island were constantly changing.
Initiate: "Time Trav'ler, come back"
Response: "A temporary battle"

This is a collaboration with an incredible artist, Davin Gault, in an attempt to bridge a gap between two artistic mediums; Photography and Audio Production. Every month there will be a posting including an audio piece and a visual piece, one inspired by the other. We each get two weeks to work and each month we switch off who goes first.

Initiate: This piece is about relentlessness, of time and other tragedies. The bass line was the starting point for this piece. It swells and recedes in strength and came to represent time and its lumbering constancy. It takes different forms throughout the piece, but grinds on as if to dare you to try and combat its unabating pulse.
-
Response: From this piece done my davin I wanted to illustrate "a temporary battle." I felt as if something strong in life hit me and hit me hard. In the midst of tragedy, there was clarity and relief that this would only be brief.

when I try to go to sleep
but with you I start to feel
a sort of temporary peace
Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. -Lance Armstrong
This pain you may feel doesn't have to be forever. It's just here to challenge you in this moment. Find strength through it all.
Shot with branches I collected in my local woodlands, and with feathers I had collected around my room from a bird that was trapped in my room.I plan on creating a few images inspired by this phenomenon, this is the first one and was very exciting to create.
The jig is up! Skipper's bold red hair was strictly temporary. I only left the color in for 2 days, had a little fun, then washed it out. Hey, like the box says "It's just fun!". Truth be told, now that the "Rihanna Red" has been washed away... I kinda miss it. But the good thing is, if I want to, I can always color it all over again.
Die Löwenbrücke ist eine 17,3 Meter lange und rund zwei Meter breite Fußgängerhängebrücke im Großen Tiergarten im Ortsteil Tiergarten. Die denkmalgeschützte Parkbrücke steht im südwestlichen Teil des Tiergartens in der Nähe der Fasanerieallee. Sie führt über einen Wasserlauf, der in den Neuen See mündet. Aufgrund der Zerstörung des Borsigstegs und der alten Hugo-Preuß-Brücke im Zweiten Weltkrieg war die Löwenbrücke nicht nur die letzte erhaltene Hängebrücke Berlins, sondern die älteste Drahtseil-Hängebrücke Deutschlands. Nachdem sie seit 2008 wegen Baufälligkeit gesperrt war, wurde der hölzerne Steg 2014 bis auf drei der vier gusseisernen Löwen entfernt. Sie wurde nach historischen Vorlagen neu aufgebaut und am 3. Juli 2025 wiedereröffnet. Und anders als bei der vereinfachten Version ihres Wiederaufbaus nach Schäden im 2. Weltkrieg sind die Brücke und die Löwen jetzt wieder rundum vergoldet.

The Lions Bridge is a 17.3-metre-long and approximately two-metre-wide pedestrian suspension bridge in the Great Tiergarten park in Tiergarten district. The listed park bridge is located in the south-western part of the Tiergarten near Fasanerieallee. It crosses a watercourse that flows into the New Lake. Due to the destruction of the Borsig Footbridge and the old Hugo Preuß Bridge during the Second World War, the Lions Bridge was not only the last remaining suspension bridge in Berlin, but also the oldest wire cable suspension bridge in Germany. After being closed since 2008 due to dilapidation, the wooden footbridge was removed in 2014, except for three of the four cast iron lions. It was rebuilt based on historical models and reopened on 3 July 2025.
And unlike the simplified version of their reconstruction after damage in World War II, the bridge and lions are now completely gilded again.

Der Große Tiergarten in Berlin ist eine zentral im Ortsteil Tiergarten des Bezirks Mitte gelegene Parkanlage, die sich auf 210 Hektar (2,1 km²) erstreckt. Einige breite Straßen durchschneiden den Park; sie kreuzen sich am Großen Stern, in dessen Mitte die Siegessäule steht. Ein erster Tiergarten wurde schon 1527 an anderer Stelle angelegt, nämlich in der Nähe des Berliner Schlosses, westlich der Berliner Stadtmauer. Das kleine Gebiet wurde seit 1530 nach Westen und Norden hin durch Zukäufe erweitert, bis zu den Grenzen des heutigen Tiergartens und darüber hinaus. Man setzte Wildtiere aus und hinderte sie durch Zäune daran, auf die umliegenden Äcker zu entweichen. Das Gelände diente als Jagdrevier der Kurfürsten von Brandenburg. Als die Stadt Berlin wuchs, wurde das Jagdgebiet nach und nach verkleinert. Friedrich der Große schätzte die Jagd nicht. 1742 gab er den Auftrag, die Zäune niederreißen zu lassen und den Tiergarten zu einem barocken Lustpark für die Bevölkerung umzugestalten. Ab 1818 gestaltete ihn Peter Joseph Lenné zu einem Landschaftspark nach englischem Vorbild um. In der Form, die Lenné ihm gegeben hatte, bestand der Park nahezu unverändert bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde der Tiergarten durch Luftangriffe der Alliierten schwer beschädigt. Unmittelbar nach Kriegsende diente die Ost-West-Achse zeitweise als Flugpiste, auf der Siegessäule war ein Kontrollposten stationiert. In der Nachkriegszeit wurden Bäume und Sträucher aufgrund des Kohlemangels verheizt, auf den freien Flächen wurden Kartoffeln und Gemüse angebaut, eine offiziell von den britischen Besatzungstruppen genehmigte vorübergehende Nutzung: es entstanden etwa 2550 Parzellen. Von ehemals rund 200.000 Bäumen standen noch etwa 700. Die Gewässer waren verschlammt, alle Brücken zerstört, die Denkmäler umgestürzt und beschädigt. Am 2. Juli 1945 beschloss der Magistrat von Berlin die Wiederherstellung des Großen Tiergartens.

Großer Tiergarten ("Great Animal Garden") in Berlin is a park centrally located in the Tiergarten district of the Mitte borough, covering 210 hectares (2.1 km²). Several wide streets cut through the park; they intersect at the Großer Stern, in the centre of which stands the Victory Column. A first Animal Garden was laid out elsewhere as early as 1527, near the Berlin Palace, to the west of the Berlin city wall. From 1530 onwards, the small area was extended to the west and north by acquisitions, up to and beyond the boundaries of today's Großer Tiergarten. Wild animals were released and prevented by fences from escaping to the surrounding fields. The area served as a hunting ground for the Electors of Brandenburg. As the city of Berlin grew, the hunting ground was gradually reduced. Frederick the Great did not appreciate hunting. In 1742 he ordered the fences to be torn down and the Tiergarten to be transformed into a Baroque pleasure park for the people. From 1818, Peter Joseph Lenné redesigned it into a landscape park based on the English model. In the form that Lenné had given it, the park existed almost unchanged until the middle of the 20th century. During the Second World War, the GroßerTiergarten was severely damaged by Allied air raids. In the post-war period, trees and shrubs were burned in the peoples' homes due to the lack of coal, and potatoes and vegetables were grown on the vacant land, a temporary use officially approved by the British occupation forces: about 2550 plots were created. Only about 700 of the former 200,000 trees were left standing. The waters were silted up, all bridges destroyed, the monuments overturned and damaged. On 2 July 1945, the Berlin City Administration decided to restore the Großer Tiergarten.

Early Hawaiians made roughly constructed fish nets and traps from stems and scoop nets probably made from ʻāwikiwiki vines for small rock paoʻo (blennies) and ʻopae (freshwater shrimps). Isabella Abbott notes that "crude, temporary traps were improvised from vines such as ʻāwikiwiki (Canavalia galeata)."
A topical for skin disorders was made from leaf buds, leaves, bark, and roots.
The pua (flowers) of ʻāwikiwiki were and still are used for lei making.
Etymology
The generic name Canavalia comes from the Indian kanavali, a common name for Canavalia maritima.
The specific epithet galeata is from the Latin galeatus, helmet-, or skull-, shaped.

* The name ʻāwikiwiki comes from wikiwiki meaning fast or speedy, referring to its rapid growth rate. Oʻahu jackbean is a vernacular name of unknown origin.
We are still living in a tremendously weird time. Who would have thought that 2020 was going to pan out like this. Since lockdown the bus network has been seriously reduced to accustom for the lack of passengers. This has also meant more buses covering not their usual route, including here when Lothian Buses 42 which is a marine based bus is covering Longstone service 30 to Clovenstone. Seen here at Princes Street.
Temporarily out of real stuff, so relegated to digital diddling.

For a few weeks at least, a Class 92 is temporarily a rare sight on the Highlander. With the Mk5s rolled-out on the Lowlander and all bar one CAF-modded Class 92s converted to 1500v ETS to work them, it has been almost all hired-in Freightliner 90s working the old stock on the Highlander.
Fresh from a rare trip to Dollands Moor/HS1, Class 92, 92 010, was stepping in whilst the 90s undertook A Exams. Working 1M16 south through Acton Bridge in the dawn light, there won't be too many more occasions to capture 92010 (or any 92) on the old sleeper stock.
