The state of the machinery was surprisingly decent; many buttons and controls remained intact. All safety measures and electrical connections had been removed, ensuring there was no live power, probably to prevent any accidental operation by people entering the grounds. There were several conveyor belts that visitors could safely stand on, as you can see in one of the photos where I'm standing atop one of these belts.

We eventually came across a small pond, or mini-lake, and decided to take a walk around it. At every bench we passed, we played a round of "City, Country, River" – yes, my girlfriend brought printouts. It was actually quite fun, although I now feel like Swiss cheese because we got bitten by mosquitoes. The pros and cons of nature :D

Source: The Great Gatsby Meme with my FACE via Faceswap I DID IT: 10.000 HIVE POWERThe Hive price was or is quite low, so I cleaned up my altcoin portfolio a bit and powered up a suitable amount. I'm especially happy that I've now reached my annual goal, and it's only July 1st. Everything that comes after this is a bonus. Who knows where I'll be at the end of the year? The next goal is definitely the 15,000 mark. What I'm particularly pleased about is that I jumped from 7,000 to over 10,000. This means today's power-up was over 50% of my previous level. I'm really very satisfied with that. Now the Hive price just needs to go up, then the upvotes will taste even better. I'm not as active on the chain with photography anymore because work has taken up some of my time. However, I still post every day on Actifit, which really motivates me. I hope that by the end of the year, I can expand this even further. I'm still a small fish in a very big pond, but I'm doing my best to keep growing consistently.
