Burning Man is an event held annually in the western United States at Black Rock City, a temporary city erected in the Black Rock Desert of northwest Nevada, approximately 100 miles north-northeast of Reno. The late summer event is an experiment in community and art, influenced by ten main principles: radical inclusion, radical self-reliance, radical self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, gifting, decommodification, participation, immediacy, and leave no trace.
It was amazing to see what the tide would do to the water level ... In the morning, you could jump from pool to pool - in the late afternoon, you could kite surf at the same spot. Just amazing! #Tanzania #beach-life
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.
Towards the western edge of Guelph Lake these temporary docks are extended into the lake. There were several people at the ends of the docks fishing on this particular day. The lake's water level is quite lower than normal at this time of year as the Grand River Conservation Authority has adjusted the water levels of the lake and the Speed River in Guelph with a number of dams. In this picture, it's easy to see where the regular water levels normally are, abutting the tree line. On another note, the picnic table is not normally located there! Haha.
Noa's cottage has (temporarily) been moved to the other side of the patio. We got new neighbours, and the old ugly wall between our patio and their backyard has been demolished. Until there is a new wall, Noa will have to camp in her cottage and a makeshift pen against the opposite wall. She won't be able to play on the patio for a while, because there's a 6m long open passage to the neighbours' backyard and driveway - and thus the public road - when there's no wall.
DFP was a minor French car brand, which was active between 1906 to 1926. DFP stands for the three founders Doriot, Flandrin and Parant. Their factory was based in Courbevoie, near Paris.
The 2-litre engine was developed by DFP. It was even used by Bentley.
I have to admit I had never heard of the brandname DFP.
The body of this DFP was designed and manufactured by Taurinya. Ghislain Mahy bought this rare car in the South of France.
1996 cc L4 petrol engine.
Performance: 12-15 bhp.
Production DFP 12/15 series: 1912-1924.
Original first reg. number: 1913.
With old French painted reg. plate (unreadable).
This temporary exhibition was set up to honour the old Ghislain Mahy, by bringing back some iconic items from his collection to the place where it all began: the Ghent Wintercircus.
Unfortunately there were only 10 vehicles on display.
Ghislain Mahy (1907-1999) was a Fiat car dealer and classic car enthusiast who rented this old Wintercircus building for over forty years. Starting in the early 1950s he built up a collection of old and classical cars from more than 950 items. He bought them mainly in France. And many of them were just saved from the hands of car scrapers.
In 1995 Mahy had to leave this special place. His collection was partly sold, the rest was divided over two museums. Restored top cars went to classic car museum Autoworld, Brussels (about 230 items). But the majority, most unrestored cars, found a new home in a new founded car museum in the south of Belgium called Mahymobiles, Leuze-en-Hainaut.

This was the first time I picked up the DSLR for months. I'd almost forgotten I had digital cameras. It felt strange not having to wait to see what I'd taken. These are pretty much straight out of the camera.
The R&N Reading Turn has just returned from Reading Yard. Both units were adorned with temporary markings in honor of Memorial Day.
Bonkers, freshly washed (with a damp pet wipe) and groomed with a nice comb, resting on the bed. He was purring gently while I cleaned him up (lately, he’s fallen into the litter box and smells a bit like urine - the pet wipe helped with that particular issue but his tunic needs to be washed). He’s still purring softly next to me...
Hana and Archie resting on a bed in the computer room. The resting is only temporary before they enter crazy mode again (which at their age, is most of the time they are awake).

The Backward Smiler: Reflectionbound
"It smiles with you, then before you... then without you."
In the dim light of antique mirrors and still water, The Backward Smiler waits—not behind you, but within you. Its skin gleams like tarnished chrome, featureless until you give it something to mimic. The image in the reflection is always too perfect at first… and then, far too wrong.
It mimics your body. Your posture.
Then it smiles too early.
Then it smiles too wide.
And before you know it… it’s no longer you.
In this form, Reflectionbound, The Backward Smiler doesn't just mimic you—it stretches beyond you. Its smile splits into something anatomical and unnatural, tearing at the "boundary" between what is flesh and what is memory. The surface of the mirror becomes liquid-like, a gateway into itself, as if the reflection is trying to pull you in.
Lore:
Some say this is not one creature, but a sentient network of haunted mirrors, all sharing a single consciousness—the first mirror that ever reflected human fear. This form, seen in the reflection here, is its true shape—not bound by anatomy, but by mimicry itself.
Children say if you stare too long into a mirror at night and force a smile, you’ll start to feel it smile back with muscles you don’t control.
Phenomena & Warnings:
Smile Lag: Your reflection will smile before you do.
Face Tension: Prolonged staring may cause the feeling of your skin pulling inward toward the mirror.
Reflection Mismatch: Victims report seeing themselves continue to move for 2–3 seconds after turning away.
How to Banish It (Temporarily):
Speak your full name backward three times.
Do not cover the mirror—break the gaze instead.
If its smile begins to stretch, never return to that mirror again.
First Leeds received 3 enviro 400 double deckers during late August for the A65 bus lane launch although non are expected to stay. Here 33706 is seen inbound on the new bus lane complete with first Leeds branding, adverts for the A65 improvements and FWY legals.
While the Bible, liturgy and reading of the Fathers are essential for the monastic life of contemplation, Merton tells us they are meant to bring us to “encounter the life-giving and creative Spirit who, in full continuity with the ‘old,’ is able to ‘make all things new’ and indeed to fuse the old and the new in an original and entirely creative unity” (113). Whether one is a monk, a lay member of the Church or a seeker responding to Merton’s ever-broadening ecumenical outreach, he would have us open up to an ever-new and more living sense of the life of the Spirit in our world today. This invitation is as challenging now as it ever was.
