@htagfestival in Galati Romania
500 years into the future Romania's legacy of cultivating the fertile Danube plains established them as humanity's foremost off-world agricultural specialists. Their inherited mastery of farming was adapted for new worlds, feeding colonies lightyears away

Psionics
For @waterfordwalls photo by @streetartatlas
Psionics is a term most often found in science fiction, referring to the application of psychic powers. The word itself is a blend of "psi" (a term for psychic phenomena) and "-onics" (from "electronics")

Microcosmic
The universe stretches across an immeasurable expanse, and time appears infinite. Within such vastness, it is not unreasonable to consider whether a higher intelligence, ancient and enduring, may have shaped the trajectory of human existence

Yes, definitely, not just his voice but his language describing the behaviour of both plants and animals.
I'd actually love to do that job. Yeah, we need more people like him in the world and more airtime for natural world topics on TV

The incredible, Sir David Attenborough, is an impressive 99 years old today. Back in 2012, @rocket01.bsky.social created this amazing tribute to the main man on Charles Street.

America used science to become a global leader. Now it's a science denier and global loser !

Rocket01 @rocket01.bsky.social · Apr 24

Wow a land mark decision to rule it as waste and not animal feed .. what heights we've reached as a civilisation !

Rocket01 @rocket01.bsky.social · Apr 21

Last hope ....
This is a blend of about 12 AI and photo images, along with around 4 days digital work, I'm still not done with it but getting there. Sometimes I like to leave it for a few days and come back to it with fresh eyes.
It's hopefully gonna be for an up coming mural project ✨️
