Fall of Giants Wadbilliga National Park
Celebration: countdown 5
A giant once stole three girls swimming in a pool at the top of these falls. One of the girls called all the birds in the sky to help free them, and a multitude of birds came and threw the giant's head to the ground. The giant's head may still be seen at the foot of these falls. Look closely, and you will see the tears falling from his eye.
The Giant was not alone. Look and see the other giants all around us. When they torment, remember the birds. Turn to the sky and call them with all your breath.
This is the Tuross River at the Wadbilliga near the sunken forests of the Duea. It drops about 200m (600') and is one of the most remote falls safely accessible to bushwalkers.
Image: I have processed a slightly wider image (for printing as one of the images in a 'brutal art' exhibition). This is a scene version. I chose a soft 'ink and watercolor' approach to pick out each of the rocks in the scene (working with a black and white image before washing color back into the image).
Celebrate: Thank you. To celebrate what we all achieved on G+, i am publishing the 50 most viewed posts in this collection (with 450m views) until shutdown. This is a reprocessed scene of this fall (5th most viewed).

President Donald #Trump has a low approval rating. He is engaging in bitter Twitter wars and facing metastasizing investigations. But if the election were held today, he’d likely ride to a second term in a huge landslide, according to multiple economic models with strong track records of picking presidential winners and losses.
While Trump appears to be in a much stronger position than his approval rating and conventional Beltway wisdom might suggest, he also could wind up in trouble if the economy slows markedly between now and next fall. And other legal bombshells could explode the current scenario. Trump’s party managed to lose the House in 2018 despite a strong #economy. So the models could wind up wrong this time around.

The US unemployment rate is currently close to 4%, and the country has added jobs every month for a record 101 months in a row. Wage growth, which has lagged behind jobs growth since the recession, is finally, if slowly, picking up. US #GDP - the widest measure of economic health - is now about 3.4%, up from 1.8% in the first quarter of #Trump’s presidency. Trump says he’s truly Making America Great Again.
Republicans suffered a major defeat in the #midtermelections despite a strong economy. But midterms are often seen as a protest vote. When it comes to the general election - if the #economy continues on its current course - the Yale economist Ray Fair, Moody’s chief economist, Mark Zandi, and Luskin all believe Trump would win. Unless he is in prison.

But their emails: Seven members of Trump’s team have used unofficial communication tools
President #Trump’s objections to #HillaryClinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state were never terribly convincing. At times, he claimed that Clinton, his Democratic presidential challenger in 2016, had tried to shield unethical activity by using a personal account. At others, he specifically criticized her for having shared classified material through her personal account.
If Trump’s broad criticism was true, that the use of a private account to conduct official business is suspect - if not illegal - and represents an effort to mask illicit activity, then we have bad news for him: An awful lot of that same suspect activity is taking place in his administration. Trump’s son-in-law, #JaredKushner, and daughter #IvankaTrump, both advisers to the president, had used either personal email accounts or the messaging application WhatsApp to conduct official business, according to information from the House Oversight Committee. The committee also learned that former deputy national security adviser K.T. McFarland and former adviser Stephen K. Bannon had also, at times, used personal email accounts for official business.

First Congress threatened to cut off federal funds to universities using components made by telecom giant #Huawei. Next came a classified FBI briefing last fall for University of California research chiefs about foreign espionage threats. Then in January the US government charged the Chinese firm with bank fraud, violating US sanctions against Iran and theft of trade secrets. Berkeley is among a growing number of American universities, including such research powerhouses as Stanford, MIT and UC San Diego, that have begun to cut off ties with Huawei.
The moves come in response to warnings from US law enforcement agencies that Huawei can't be trusted and could secretly do Beijing's bidding, whether by spying or sabotage. Moreover, the #Trumpadministration wants to restrain Huawei - the world's largest telecom equipment maker - from expanding its grip on development of critical #5G infrastructure, the next-generation wireless networking system that experts believe will transform connectivity for self-driving cars, factory automation and many other applications.

There are essentially three parts to the GauGAN software: a paint bucket, pen and pencil. At the bottom of the screen are a bunch of labels like sky, water, rock, and sand. Select "water" and tap the paintbrush and the tool will turn your blue line into a cascading, photorealistic waterfall. The same goes for turning circles into clouds or lumps into rocks or a cliffside.

So This is Making America Great Again?
Check out which bases in foreign countries are being considered for school and child care cuts. Then look at the Alaskan air base with no room for a school with 240 children additional. These are political targets. In Arizona McSally reports there should not be any such cuts. But we know who she’s a big fan of.
Trump's border wall money may come at expense of schools for military kids

A woodland walk in spring
Today is the spring equinox and while I haven't been able to photograph as much over the past few weeks as I would have liked, the days are getting longer and warmer.
Time again to venture on an epic photography tour in Ireland.
