Hello. Here are some images of the fabulous Australian Academy of Science's Shine Dome, mostly used as a lecture theatre.

The Dome is located in central on the campus of the Australian National University. It is comminly referred to as 'The Martian Embassy.'

The Dome was deliberately designed to be futuristic, reflecting the pursuits of science and knowledge.

It is copper-coated, multi-arched and surrounded by a narrow moat. From the walkway between the moat and the inner walls, the arches provide a 360° panoramic sequence of 16 views.

People seem to be interested in Uranium Springs, the wasteland compound out in the Arizona desert.

Here's a video @jenniedale and I made of the place when we were in the area.

Down a long, dirt, not very good road in Sun Valley Arizona - near the Petrified Forest National Park... is Reverend Lawless' Uranium Springs.

It's a dystopian community of engineers and builders that spend their free time in a Mad Max like post apocalyptic civilization.

Good afternoon. Here are some pics taken today.

is an terrific arts precinct thriving on the outskirts of with a popular community cafe.

These views, fresh scones, hot beverege, and feathered visitors - all with a live band playing gently in the background - a lovely way to recharge for the work week ahead.

Canberra is more than politics.

This is Factory Butte. It's a Mars like landscape in Utah, USA. It's actually so Mars like - that there's an actually facility called the Mars Desert Research Station out there.

Scientists spend 6 months at a time, isolated out in the harsh landscape to simulate what life would be like on Mars.

Some day, we might all be glad they did.
