Approximately 20k lines of code later and now my 100% custom wallplotter can draw any complex shape in a continous motion. The optimisation was nessesary to have a constant color application when using csns with spray paint. #arduino #esp32 #maker #3dprinting #esp32 #art #diy #kicad #tech

Late afternoon #walk by #Saddleworth #Yorkshire #Moors from #DoveStones up to #Chew #reservoir along the edge of Dove Stone Moss (500m). Descending the #Crags and #moorland thinly covering the rocks in near darkness, but not giving up night vision illuminated by the fading light.
An hour after sunset. Twilight largely monochrome with a hint of blue in the cold clear sky reflected in the foreground Dovestones reservoir that leads the eye to the hills in the skyline. The Sun has set and the autumn colours are fading. The cloudy sky yields to pale orange colours kissing the skyline Oldham lights in the misty distance. In the middle is Dovestones reservoir nestling in the valley shot from high on the edge above. The sun has set and the autumn colours are fading. The near cloudless sky yields to pale orange colours kissing the skyline Oldham lights in the misty distance. In the middle is Dovestones reservoir nestling in the valley shot from high on the edge above. Portrait shoot, earlier with more colour courtesy of the bracken and heather. The foreground is littered with car sized grit stone boulders. The sun has set and the autumn colours are fading. The partially cloudless sky yields to pale orange colours kissing the skyline in the distant mist. Out of sight around the corner of the valley below is Dovestones reservoir nestling in the valley shot from high on the edge above. The foreground is littered with car sized grit stone boulders. In particular a flat topped near impossible balanced boulder takes up a proportion of the foreground but still sits before the skyline of the hills and #KinderIntake surrounding the #valley.

Unashamedly loved #TronAres on #Imax at #BFIBradford everything was spot on technically and no distractions = total immersion. Phenomenal sound track. Forgot I was watching a #3DMovie no distracting artifacts, or losing track of an action sequence. If only we could go again. Such a short shelf life.

Descending #SticksPass #Lakedistrict #Cumbria after taking a beating from horizontal hail on. #StybarrowDodd - our fourth #Wainwright of the day. We were rewarded with a double #rainbow. Always in awe of the #Lakeland #Fells #Landscape #LadAndDad #Outdoors #Hike
An adolescent in heavy weather proof clothing and hiking bag stands arms open with gloves hands leaning into the wind on open moorland fellside. From the valley behind arches a double rainbow in full colours with a secondary paller now. One could convince oneself of a third shadow of a bow coming from the boys head. In the mood to far distance stretches the Keswick Bassenthwaite lake valley.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Evening

With sunset, the evening begins at Sensorio light show. As it darkens, the white lightbulbs will turn to rotating colors, looking like vibrant fields of flowers.

#EastCoastKin #Sensorio #LandscapePhotography #WestCoastKin #PasoRobles
The sun has just set, so there is an orange glow at the horizon of light brown rolling hills spotted with oak trees. There are thousands of white bulb lights on sticks stuck in the ground that provide wavering fields of white. A large oak tree is silhouetted in the foreground. Sensorio light show in Paso Robles, California The sun has set, so the sky is a dark blue with oak tree silhouettes across the rolling hills. The light bulbs on the hills are now different colors, looking like a vibrant field of brilliantly-colored flowers. Sensorio in Paso Robles, California

Another day, another special woodland where (thanks to some inside information) I finally found Fluted Bird's Nest fungi - so strange but so perfect. Plus plenty Of Wrinkled Peach, including this one sheltering some youngsters and a splendid display of Toothed Crust (I think!)

#fungifriday 📷🍄
Four Fluted Burd's Nest fungi Cyathus striatus on a mossy log A Wrinkled Peach fungus on a mossy Elm log, with three immature ones around it A rather wonderful display of what I think is Toothed Crust Basidioradulum radula, with cinnamon coloured pores, noticeably darker than many photographs of it elsewhere Autumn colours at Hinchingbrooke Country Park

#Hawkshead #Cumbria #Lakes #Ferns and #Flora make their homes in the crevices of slate wall.
A wet lane into Hawkshead Cumbria. The left is typical hedgerow of beech and hawthorn. The right is a close up of scrub plant making its home in the crack of a slate topped wall. This leads to a skate rooftop, and into the white washed cottages. In the far distance is the autumnal fellside hills in colours of brown bracken, heather and Bill berry.

Over a quarter of struggled with basic tide-table reading, and only a quarter could extract more complex information--such as when to safely return."

August CO2 and methane data at NOAA just dropped.

The 3-year running average for the rate of CO2 growth continues to increase (now at 7.78 ppm per 3 years), and is nearing an all-time high.

Maybe if we all just hope a bit more, I'm sure that will change everything.

Great piece on #inflammation v mental health in this week's @newscientist.com by @manuwrites.bsky.social Many input variables in what feels like a positive feedback loop. Maybe through diet, therapy and (reluctantly) medication, break the cycle of #painrelief and poor #mentalhealth #PsA #Mtx

For a story: I am looking for someone who fell ill after open-water swimming in Europe. Was it because of a pathogen? Or pollutants? I'd love to hear from you!

Three sides of the piece hall viewed from the North side. The square is filled by thousands of revellers enjoying the evening music gig at this heritage venue. To the east left is the church steeple and beacon hill in the background. To the west right is the bell tower over the west gate. The stage in the south east corner is lit by an orange LED screen background while Human League perform their last song of the evening having been preferred by Thompson Twins and Blancmange before them.
