The Soo River Company steamer Soo River Trader is upbound on the Detroit River viewed from Windsor, Ontario with some gems still on the old Detroit skyline. The 1906 built Trader is the former Upper lakes Shipping "Goderich", just one of the old classics picked up from the scrap lists by the Soo River Company.

The greatest mystics have not been heretics but Catholic saints. In them “natural mysticism” which, like “natural religion,” is latent in humanity, and at the certain point of development breaks out in every race, came to itself; and attributing for the first time true and distinct personality to its Object, brought into focus the confused and unconditioned God which Neoplatonism had constructed from the abstract concepts of philosophy blended with the intuitions of Indian ecstatics, and made the basis of its meditations on the Real. It is a truism that the chief claim of Christian philosophy on our respect does not lie in its exclusiveness but in its Catholicity: in the fact that it finds truth in a hundred different systems, accepts and elucidates Greek, Jewish, and Indian thought, fuses them in a coherent theology, and says to speculative thinkers of every time and place, “Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you.”
-Evelyn Underhill, Mysticism, E. P. Dutton and Company (New York) pp. 105–6.

The Marsalforn salt pans, known locally as Il-Qolla l-Bajda, are located on the north coast of Gozo Island, Malta, stretching along the rocky coast west of Marsalforn Bay. Carved directly into the limestone, they form an intricate mosaic of geometric tanks that reflects a centuries-old tradition of artisanal sea salt production.
The Marsalforn salt pans in Gozo are part of a tradition of salt exploitation that dates back to antiquity, long before the Middle Ages or modern periods. Their origin is closely linked to the Phoenicians and, later, the Romans, peoples who quickly understood the enormous economic and strategic value of salt in the Mediterranean.
The Phoenicians, great navigators and traders from the coast of present-day Lebanon, arrived in the Maltese islands around the first millennium BC. For them, Malta and Gozo were natural stops on trade routes between East and West. Salt, essential for food preservation and maritime trade, became a priority resource. Taking advantage of the rocky coastline, intense sun, and constant winds, the Phoenicians began digging shallow tanks in the limestone, creating the first organized structures for sea salt production. The simple and functional geometry of these primitive salt pans would lay the foundation for the system that is still recognized in Marsalforn.
With the Roman conquest of the Maltese islands in the 2nd century BC, salt production gained an even more structured dimension. The Romans perfected the Phoenician techniques, expanding the tanks, creating more efficient channels for the circulation of seawater, and integrating the salt pans into an organized economy on an imperial scale.
Over the following centuries, despite the successive dominations that passed through Gozo, the basic structure of these salt pans remained surprisingly faithful to the solutions created by the Phoenicians and Romans. Thus, walking through the salt pans of Marsalforn today is to traverse a space where more than two thousand years of history overlap.

Celebrating my first post-Covid opportunity for travel photography – a very interesting and enjoyable trip to Uzbekistan in May 2023. The Uzbeks were one of the friendliest peoples I have ever encountered. This was the only example of anger that I witnessed – a market trader who was in a furious argument with a fellow trader concerning which of them should remove goods in front of their stalls to allow a vehicle’s entry.

A view of Okanagan Lake near Trader's Cove.
You can see a wisp of forest fire smoke just off the water to the right. A day later this area was closed to prepare for potential forest fire evacuation.
Selling lots of their lovely homemade goods from their narrowboats, nice to see it thriving, who needs internet shopping.

Another of the Dino Traders, this one uses the Pyroraptor from LEGO set #76951, "Pyroraptor & Dilophosaurus Transport"
I was originally going to use both dinos in that set to pull a cart (the previous pic) but the Pyroraptor is significantly bigger than the Dilophosaurus.
Not exactly T-Rex size, and certainly not Kale Scale size, but bigger.
First roll of film through a 70's Vivitar 35EE I found in the flat a few years ago. The film was pretty old too.

Ever since I first got the old Star Wars Kaadu mold a few months back, I‘ve been meaning to create something like this.
The aesthetic of this post is very much inspired by legendary French artist Jean Giraud "Mœbius". I‘ll be posting some more pictures of the trader tomorrow.

Once home to the world-famous fruit and vegetable market, Covent Garden's Apple Market continues to support market traders, offering a range of unique handmade crafts and goods throughout the week.
In the South Piazza, the Jubilee Market changes its wares daily. On Mondays, the market is dedicated to antiques. From Tuesday to Friday, a general market operates with traders selling clothes and household goods. At weekends, the market offers arts and crafts.
In a period characterized by rainstorms, landslides and famine occurred the Miracle of the Wheat. 1753 was a year really fatal: 368 people died; well among them were 12 Priests, Sisters and Brothers of the Convent. Legend has it that ... swarms of locusts destroyed any agricultural product, the wells were practically dried up. Even fertile areas of Pomarico as Trincinaro, St. James and St. Lawrence for several years did not give the result of the hard work of the men. It was since 1680 that the country was suffering. There was a terrible famine to the wheat crop. In May 1753 it is said that an Apulian trader had come to the Colle Sisto. Not knowing the country, he went to Pomarico going down a cattle track with fruit trees and oaks on either side. He was well vested, respectful and good-hearted. During his trip he awoke the curiosity of the Pomaricans he met on the street. He stopped by the local monastery to rest. Then he went into the Piazza Nuova (now Piazza V. Veneto) and it was there that he announced to the community he had come to town to deliver grain. The news went around the neighborhoods and districts, and all rushed there by any means available. The Pomaricans who arrived at Colle Sisto were astonished to see such an amount of wheat. There were at least 8 horse-drawn wagons filled with sacks of grain. People were hungry and there was no time to organize for the grain distribution so everyone tried to take what they could through shoving. In the general crush the people were fighting for a handful of grain. From that moment, in that humanly understandable act, was given the name "The Fight" so that the faithful, when they meet for the procession this year on 8 May evening (which that year became the feast day of the Patron Saint ) go to honor one of the most important miracles of San Michele Arcangelo in Pomarico.
