Play with me.
What in blazes, suits for yardwork?
The supervisor in a corset?
Why is that villain who is supposed to be flattening the ground with a yard roller smashing up the pots?

hey , a perfect example of how people interpret things differently . All Star Wars sites might have this picture once
spider on Dagobah . Officially Knobby White Spider though ı would never remember the whole phrase . At old age it calcifies and becomes a tree . Had no chance to appear on screen because wampa problems .
for which Lucas had high hopes but the animatrics of the times had huge problems with swift and believable movements and cost a lot of money , effort and time in producing footage that was cut out for being totally not good .
but the trees were there in the movie and ı don't think ı would notice them in a concious way , it is a weird place the Jedi Master Yoda has escaped to
this came up while searching for the first picture , ı didn't know it previously but there are those who think ı do fall on fours catlike most or all the time
so , ı look at the picture , see the tiny branches or whatever on top , see the legs down below , never notice the leaves on the legs which are of course not legs and move on .
this would be perfect incel material with women imposing most impossible impositions on men with the hints of offering favours , take unfair advantage of being the fair sex , whatever . Was thinking the men were fools and had to look up for the picture and it is from 1901 ... Pretty sure the artist wouldn't dare today .

My phone's camera tracking the light of a car, as the tripod that held it fell off the front of my own car. >.<

The coolness here is in the aggregate, and I would encourage you to look at the source collection of images of tessellations in nature, or you could read the science article. I love how a similar pattern is visible across so many scales, kingdoms and eons.

Usually Toronto's skyline is seen from the south, looking north. Often the photo is taken from a boat or one of the Toronto islands.
Here's a photo looking in the exactly opposite direction from about 6km north of the Lake Ontario waterfront. A lot of the skyscrapers you can see here aren't visible from the water, although you can see the CN tower, plus a couple tops of the financial district buildings usually seen from the water, and some of the condos you'd see from a boat too.
The street you see running north-south is Yonge street, famously Canada's longest street.
Worth highlighting is the large cluster of skyscrapers visible in the near distance. It is about 3.3km from the lake.
That is Yonge/Bloor, the intersection of the two busiest subway lines in Canada, aka Midtown Toronto.
but wait, if you go further north, you run into more worthy skyscraper clusters.
8km north of the lake is Uptown aka Yonge/Eglinton, a bustling and fun part of town. It is also the intersection of the Yonge subway line and the new crosstown Eglinton LRT line
Of course about 15km north of the lake you'll find North York city centre.. which isn't technically a city anymore, since it was absorbed into Toronto in the 1990s.. I used to live near here once, not very far away from one of those single family homes in the very bottom left corner
18km north of the lake is Yonge/Steeles. Steeles Avenue is the northern border of the city of Toronto. This new proposed cluster with 65 story reaching buildings will straddle the border and spill out into York Region.
Worth mentioning is that a newly approved extension of the Yonge subway line will extend a further 4.5km north from here, so if we are still keeping track, that would be about 22.5km north of the lake.
70km north of the lake and you get to the end of Yonge Street, here, facing south. What's funny is that there's "no exit" signs because there's a brief gap in Yonge street coming up for some reason.
(turn around to see what lies even further north)
Some people say Yonge street keeps going as Highway 11 and is actually 1,896km long. I have no idea if it's actually Canada's longest street by any accepted standard of what a street is, but famously that's what it just is.

For some reason I thought Dundas St was longer... that street goes all the way to Hamilton!
We have a Dundas St in Christchurch. Amusingly it is very short.
