Title from some random YouTube video from Kurzgesagt about universal quantum collapse. Interesting but terrifying.

The traffic light is green for pedestrians but there is no one crossing the road. People are queuing for their turn to shop for groceries. I notice the tiredness in the eyes, the resignation as if there was no tomorrow. Who reads, who consults smartphones and who silently observes in a vacuum. Many electronic eyes monitor and a megaphone ready to speak. The traffic light is always green and I hope it is hopeful for everyone.
Meet the Canadian artist Rodney Graham who likes to stage himself in different situations. Here he performs the role of an old-fashioned art dealer, not in the least bothered to smoke a pipe in his gallery, while vacuuming the carpet on the floor.
Graham and his assistants created the whole setting, including the modernistic paintings on the wall, in the style of Rodchenko. This snapshot is just a detail of a panoramic lightbox in four parts.
I wrote a review about this work of art, which was published in The Hague's weekly newspaper. You can also find the article here on Facebook.
Another proof that Nature abhors a vacuum. The morning was greyish and I did not go to the wetlands. Suddenly some movement of strange shapes in the crowns of the trees in my garden - I run outside and there they were: a small flock of Yellow-tailed Cockatoos!
This charming female was preening and gave me this special look.

A colleague of mine, philosophy professor, was pestered by his students that he ought to look into himself when searching for answers. His reply was, that he had done so. "There is nothing in it", he said. It is a frightening answer. I would modify it by saying that everything that is in me I have put there myself - either actively by doing so, or passively, by allowing it to be put there. And that is frightening as well. To be fully responsible without knowing the answers, perhaps not even to be aware of the right kind of questions. This is a dilemma we should not run away from. Pseudo-certainties will not only not help, they are dangerous as well. But we can talk about the human dilemma. Perhaps agree on ways forward. "Nobody is perfect" is a helpful assumption. Knowing this is what makes us human. Leica M Mono, plus Leitz Elmar 4/135 at F8 (focus achieved in Live View).
Slowly, the spaceship hangar opens. The rusty hinges screech. Fortunately, no one hears this in the vacuum of infinite space.
Langsam öffnet sich der Raumschiffhangar. Die rostigen Scharniere kreischen. Zum Glück hört das niemand im Vakuum der unendlichen Weiten.
Stadsgraanzuiger No19 Getreideheber Infos*
Der Weltweit einzige noch Existierende Dampf-Getreideheber.
Das Prinzip ist einfach und doch unvorstellbar, und funktioniert wie ein Staubsauger.
Das MAS (MUSEUM AM STROM) und das Maritime Museum Rotterdam haben für dieses besondere Schiff eine Art Plan für ein geteiltes Sorgerecht erarbeitet.
Der Getreideheber steht unter gemeinsamer Mittelverwaltung und legt eine Hälfte der Zeit in Antwerpen und die andere Hälfte in Rotterdam an.
Aber, nach einer 92-jährigen Karriere fängt selbst so eine großartige Maschine wie der Getreideheber an, einige Schwächen zu zeigen.
Sowohl der Ponton, der Turm als auch die Elektronik müssen restauriert werden, um das Ganze dauerhaft und für die Zukunft funktionsfähig zu halten.
Deswegen wird der Getreideheber voraussichtlich zwei Jahre in Rotterdam bleiben, bevor er wieder nach Antwerpen kommt.

Grain lifter 19 Infos*
The principle is simple yet unimaginable, and works like a vacuum cleaner.
The World's only surviving steam grain lifter.
The MAS (MUSEUM AM STROM) and the Maritime Museum Rotterdam have developed a kind of plan for shared custody for this particular ship.
The cereal lifter is under joint management and spends half of its time in Antwerp and the other half in Rotterdam.
But, after a 92-year career, even such a great machine as the grain lifter is starting to show some weaknesses.
Both the pontoon, the tower and the electronics need to be restored to keep the whole thing permanent and functional for the future.
For this reason, the grain lifter is expected to stay in Rotterdam for two years before coming back to Antwerp.

Thanks for your Visit Views Faves and Comments, have all a Nice Week. ✌
Keeping it free from tree debris etc
Easier than mowing.
The machine propels itself forward slightly too.
I won’t do it again until Autumn. 3 or 4 times a year in all.

It's not easy to keep control of the territory when the dishwasher, the washer and 2 self-going vacuum cleaners are running at the same time.
Many thanks to everyone for your visits, comments and faves! Very much appreciated!
This is what happens when I don't feel like going out on a Friday night, I've got lots of beer in my fridge, I really need to vacuum my apartment, and I've been listening to super-hyper rockabilly on KEXP. And I have to do a 365 and feel like using strobes. My downstairs neighbors probably want to kill me.

Unlike the other dogs we've had, Kobuk doesn't mind having me vacuum around him. He did decide to hang out with his "cube," which is a kind of puzzle for dogs. (It holds small treats, and he has to rotate or shake it to get them out.)
Explored # 479 on July 3, 2020. Kobuk was very pleased to hear the news - thank you, everyone!

This photograph was taken before completion of a new carwash facility. Thought it would be much easier to get this shot before the cars started coming once opened.
White is maybe the most rigorous and psychological color, it seems to purify the surfaces, it’s a color that makes the vacuum merge.
The empty spaces have slight contrasts of shape as a value. I like to deal with this non-pigmentation because its process is a ramification of many harmonic elements that allude to a perfect informality.

A small, very unusual & very uncommon harvestman (head-body about 4mm long). This was extracted from the undergrowth by the vacuum samplers on a VERY wet day when little else was found.
