Welcome to the Consumer Council's dazzling maze of red tape and recycled advice! 🎉🔍 While their "Break Free" guide promises liberation from confusion, it’s more like a scavenger hunt through bureaucratic jargon and endless links. 🚪🔗 But hey, if you're into reading aimless lists instead of actually getting help, this is your jackpot! 🎰🏆

Scavenger Hunt round 45

I’ve been a very avid participant to the Photography Scavenger Hunt in the past, but I had let a few rounds go by recently for reasons that are not entirely clear to me either. For this round, I decided to get back on the horse and to submit pictures; we went to Iceland this summer, and I mostly submitted shots from that trip, including some “found shots” shoehorned into the theme after the fact! We did have to submit a grid of pictures as a bonus as well, though, so I reframed/cropped all the pictures so that they could fit on said grid.

In the order of the reveals, here are the pictures I submitted. The headings have links to the albums of my fellow Scavengers.

Asphalt

Asphalt was not a found shot, I knew the word was on the list, and I hunted it down specifically. When we were near a geothermal plant on the sixth day of our trip, this road going upwards seemingly alone in that terrain caught my eye, and I took multiple shots of it. I liked this one best, with the large white vehicle in the foreground – we’ve seen a lot of these during our trip.

Bleak

Another one that was less “found shot” and more “I have bleak on my list, and this is actually pretty bleak.” That’s one of the recent lava fields near Grindavík, which we saw on the last day of our trip. Volcanoes are fascinating and terrifying, and Iceland is a constant reminder of that.

Ink

Well, that one is the only one that I did not shoot in Iceland; I came home, and I had nothing that I could make fit from that trip. So I got my tripod and light box out, a large water recipient, and some blue ink, and I made some ink patterns. It’s honestly quick and dirty for studio work, which makes it somewhat unsatisfying, but better a mid pic than no pic! 😀

Goth

I was probably thinking more of “bleak” than of “goth” when I took this picture on our day 10 on the black sand beach, but I think it worked well for Goth as well. I would like to point out that this picture is NOT processed as black and white and that it is indeed color photography!

Ant

This one was part found shot and part not. I didn’t have the word in my mind at all when I took the picture (I was more interested in the geyser!) but I knew exactly what to use when I saw the word again – small faraway people looking like ants! And a lot of them too. This was on the last day of our trip.

Mystery

Mystery was absolutely a found shot. I had put that in “this is probably a Scavenger picture” when I sorted through my travel photos because the way the lava shows through the shadows makes it very difficult for me to see anything else than a fox with fiery eyes… but it’s “just” the way lava fell there. Also this was during the Lava show part of our visit on the 10th day.

Jet

Jet was pretty much a given: I’m travelling by plane, surely I’ll be able to snap a jet picture of some kind. Hence, I have a bit more plane picz than usual – and I really liked this one 🙂

Elegant

Horses in Iceland are very photogenic, and I went through my horse pictures to find one for the theme. It was harder than I expected because the best horses didn’t necessarily work background-wise, but I eventually decided on this one.

Shadow

Shadow was the hardest word of this Hunt for me, and I’m not very convinced with what I ended up submitting – this is the entrance of a small cave that we popped by almost by chance (tiny place, just a couple of interesting holes 🙂 ). But it definitely has a large shadow considering the lack of light!

Grid

The final word was Grid, as a bonus to show all your pictures in a single one. I would have much preferred having all Iceland pictures, but Ink and Jet are a bit the odds one out (for Jet I probably had alternatives if it had been the only odd one out). I had laid out my grid before I did the processing of the other pictures, because it constrained the ratios of my crops; I considered going for all squares, but I felt like the longer format worked better.

And there, another round done! We’ll see how the next one goes 🙂

Elon Musk's Boring Company just got a slap on the wrist for turning #Vegas into an environmental piñata, racking up nearly 800 violations like it was a scavenger hunt. 🎉🚧 Meanwhile, ProPublica's website is a labyrinth so complex you'd think Musk designed it himself. 🕸️🔍

Ah yes, because who doesn't love spending their day playing the thrilling game of "Which Electron app is slowing my Mac today?" 🤹‍♂️💻 Apparently, the solution to unwanted lag is a scavenger hunt through GitHub tabs, because nothing screams #productivity like a digital whack-a-mole. 🕵️‍♂️🔍

Our annual #LifecyclesProject #CommunitySharing Day is right around the corner on September 27th 🍏🍎🍐🍇

It will be hosted once again at #WellandCommunityOrchard from 11-3pm.
You're welcome to bike, or to try your luck at getting one of the parking spots. If you do not have mobility concerns or require transport of things such as strollers & walkers, consider avoiding trying to park right at the orchard. There's some street parking near the orchard as well, we just ask that you be concious of the neighbours. This year we will have a free shuttle bus from our warehouse at 808A Viewfield Rd out to Welland Orchard to alleviate the limited parking. It will make the following trips:

Leaves Lifecycles office:
-11am
-12pm
-1pm
-2pm

Leaves Welland
-11:30am
-12:30pm
-1:30pm
-3pm

Come out for a family friendly day of celebrating the harvest! We'll be giving away plenty of fruit, pressing fresh apple cider, our heritage apple tasting table will be back & we will have a #seedbomb making table as well as a #ScavengerHunt for the kids.

I hope to see you there!
Please bring a small bag if you'd like to take home some free fruits that we'll be giving to folks who want some 😊

NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is bringing fun to the race for City Hall. On Saturday, his campaign held a scavenger hunt. @aftermath.site's Riley MacLeod writes about what it was like to participate. "Being fun is no guarantee that you’ll make a good mayor, but Mamdani’s campaign has embraced what seems like a genuine joy and love of what the city has to offer," MacLeod writes. "Several of his campaign events have involved stunts out on the streets, walking the length of Manhattan or racing a slow bus; these kinds of things get Mamdani’s name and face out there while also portraying him as someone who actually likes being here."

Hey, progressive Our Revolution, Justice Democrats, PDA @PDAmerica, imagine a presidential primary campaign (or even Congressional campaigns) with this kind of creativity, enthusiasm, energy🤘

The Mamdani Scavenger hunt is a lovely idea and clearly one from people who love their city rather than see it as a cow to be milked.

Ah, the quest for the elusive "predictable" cannabis experience—because nothing says #reliability like a plant that's been used for centuries 🌱✨.
