UPDATE: I'm thrilled to announce that my photo above won first place in the Abstract category for the Worldwide Photography Gala Awards 2009 Annual Contest. My photo will be displayed in a show in Madrid, Spain in the spring of next year.

Excerpt from scotiabankcontactphoto.com/2022/core/vid-ingelevics-ryan-...:
Since 2019, Toronto-based artists Vid Ingelevics and Ryan Walker have charted the progression of the Port Lands Flood Protection Project, one of the most ambitious civil works projects in North America. This third series of photographs, presented on wooden structures along the Villiers Street median, focuses on the extraordinary operation of building a new mouth for the Don River and the careful methodology employed in the naturalization of a massive industrial brownfield.
The first photographic series that Ingelevics and Walker produced about this site, titled Framework (2020), captured the buildings and structures demolished to make way for the river excavation. This demolition allowed for the massive movement of soil captured in the second series, A Mobile Landscape (2021). How to Build a River documents how this soil removal made way for the river to be constructed using bio-engineering practices. It reveals the innovative bioengineering techniques used to construct this complex ecology and its multiple engineering layers, which will soon be invisible—either submerged underwater or beneath park surfaces—when the project is finished.
As the excavation has proceeded and workers have brought materials to the site and carefully categorized, prepared, and positioned them, Ingelevics and Walker have witnessed the river’s path quickly taking shape. The images in this series follow the rigorous steps taken to protect the new riverbed and future ecosystem, with multiple layers of sand, charcoal, and impermeable geosynthetic clay liner added to block contaminants caused by almost a century of housing fuel storage tanks in the Port Lands. The photographs capture the ways in which the new riverbanks (known as “crib walls”) were stabilized with logs, tree trunks, rocks, and coconut fibre material, and track the meticulous creation of future habitats for fish and birds.
Fish Habitat (2019) shows the development of a new riparian habitat, which includes coloured streamers strung across the water to deter geese from landing and eating vegetation that will provide food for fish. In Stratified River Ingredients (2021) a worker strides past stepped blankets of biodegradable coconut fabric, which will help hold the riverbank soil together until plant root systems are in place. In this series the new river comes to life. Its plants and banks, its roots and rocks and sands can all be seen coming together in Meander (2021). All of these innovative bioengineering techniques have been employed in similar projects around the world where nature is fast-tracked, but it’s unusual to have so many techniques applied simultaneously, and on such a vast scale.
At times during this massive project, something as small as an unidentified plant can halt construction. Transplanting #1 and #2 (2021) show crews salvaging plants for storage after strange, bulrush-like plants sprouted unexpectedly after 100 years of dormancy underground. These were likely remnants of the site’s original wetlands, which germinated when sunlight hit the excavated mud. Some of the plants were taken to a greenhouse laboratory at the University of Toronto, and others were transplanted to the Leslie Street Spit, located nearby along the waterfront. Even with the most meticulously planned naturalization processes, nature can still surprise us.
Following their documentation of the processes of destruction and removal required to prepare the site, this third series of work in Ingelevics and Walker’s multi-year project allows viewers to witness the construction of these new, interconnected habitats and structures. Their photographs offer glimpses into the makings of a highly creative built ecology, one that has looked to nature in order to artificially recreate it.
More play on my last pic, making it a bit more ghostly.
This is the last picture I will post for a while. I wish you all a lovely summer.
Thank you so much for all support.

"We will never give up!"
This photo was captured in Al Qaboun neighborhood near Damascus (the capital of Syria).
People in Al Qaboun have been living in poverty with loss of food, water and power supplies, facing death from every where because of the siege and the continuous shelling wich Assad's Forces were applying on them for the third year, because they support the Syrian Revolution.

This challenge makes me have to think about the composition. Just realized I very seldom do things like that! It is a treat to see him in mating plumage. We have lots come thru here, but I have never seen the babies. Maybe this will be the year! ODC
BBC report, today the Spanish Republic Military announce it's limit to the war in Khazdania would be a mere 50,000 troops however the troops currently in the area only reach a mere 10,000 or so due to the small advancement of the Keivan forces on the front lines near the border. However the Khazdanian armored forces have taken a crippling blow as almost a third of their armored forces were taken out in the opening of the invasion, leaving the Spanish Republic to reinforce the Khazdanian forces with their own armor, something the SR were wanting to avoid. In the recent development, with the front lines blurred on who has the upper advantage SR troops move swiftly, with little opposition into Poland to establish a front to face the advancing enemy...

Little activity. Post is meh, but it'll work for now since it was a pain to create anyhow...
I am in the third trimester now, and definatley feeling it. Swollen and sore is just a part of life now. I am also at that point where I keep bumping my belly into things.
