After a long dry for almost a half of year, rainfall finally comes in, showering the lands, mountains and forests. It’s the time for mushrooms celebrate their days. They are born in various forms on died trees, at piles of dried leaves that rotted or at trash dumps. Nature has the perfect wisdom. Giving chance to every single creature to come alive, even for just couple of days. Mushroom will then die in their own silence.

Setelah kemarau panjang selama hampir setengah tahun, curah hujan akhirnya masuk, menyirami tanah, gunung dan hutan. Ini adalah waktu jamur untuk merayakan hari-hari mereka. Mereka lahir dalam berbagai bentuk di pohon-pohon mati, di tumpukan daun kering yang membusuk atau tempat pembuangan sampah. Alam memiliki kebijaksanaan yang sempurna. Memberikan kesempatan kepada setiap makhluk untuk menjadi hidup, meskipun hanya untuk beberapa hari. Jamur kemudian akan mati dalam keheningan mereka sendiri.

This was too good to leave to Monday. The Globe and Mail does the first piece on the success – yes, recognized success – of the Point Grey Road greenway*:
.
There were protests in the streets, and allegations of class warfare and political favours. Even by Vancouver standards, the debate over the city’s latest bike lane grew especially heated.
But nearly one year after a stretch of Point Grey Road closed to vehicles, the city says the bike route that was later installed is often the busiest in Vancouver and the plan to shift traffic to major arterial roads has worked.

Serendipity Seeking Intelligent Life on Earth
Robert Langdon, the hero of Dan Brown‘s thrillers was intriguing in The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons and The Lost Symbol. Now he is almost unbearably suave, debonair, and fascinating in Inferno.
Infernois a page turner. The author has created a formula for best sellers. Each is, in its own way, entertaining and fast-paced. Inferno is no exception. In this adventure set in Italy, loosely following stuff drawn from Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, Brown offers readers a sense of inclusion, as if we are all reading something that contains Truth and Meaning, but without requiring we perform any real mental exercise.
The formula works. Inferno — all 560 pages — whisks you along while feeding you tantalizing tidbits of apparently arcane knowledge. You feel you’ve been let into an exclusive club and taught the secret handshake.
As with all of Brown’s novels, Robert Langdon — my pick for The Most Interesting Man…

Last year, I traveled to a variety of places, but my most prized photos are of the people we met along the way.

Sorry I am a little late ~ been busy with family and Christmas Break. But I wanted to wish all of you a New Year filled with good health, love and laughter. May this year be your best ever.
It is Friday, and if you are common visitor, you know that it is usually showing some mystery place. But since this is the first Friday of this year, and I really wanted to show this photo for some time, it is not a mystery of any sort. Pretty much anyone should know where it is and what it is.
I really like to take photos with reflections and always look for such opportunities. It does not happen very often, but when it does, I think it produces some kick ass results.
Time to introduce myself as well. On the interweb I am known as Ehpem, and am trying to keep it that way for a variety of reasons. Some are even good ones. I live in Victoria on Vancouver Island. I recently left a long-term government job and am working fewer hours as a consultant and researcher, which in theory gives me more time for photography. In my professional life I am an archaeologist, specializing in the coastal regions of western Canada and USA, but I did spend a few years working in the UK. My photography experience was concentrated on technical archaeological shots – pictures of dirt, pictures of artifacts sitting in dirt, pictures of artifacts in the lab, and sometimes pictures of archaeologists at work. There was not a lot of room for creativity, and the film was not mine so most of it resides in museum collections, beyond…
