OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 243rd compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

There is something about this truck that makes me think it should be bumping along a mountainous road in South east Asia somewhere. Maybe it's that it isn't the slick technological wonder that was my Aston martin Truck No there is something about this that is cobbled together, not quite right, but still oh so charming.

When we do animal or nature photography, just the passing of a second can substantially modify what we see in our frame. Even in less time we go from seeing a scene to not seeing it at all.

This is no pedestrian spatula. Made specifically for flipping fish. You probably know that flipping fish without it breaking apart can be a real pain. This baby does it with ease. The wide surface area allows you to get ahold of large pieces. You can also use it for other duties such as eggs and pancakes. Be careful as usual since metal on metal contact is generally considered a faux pas. Gentle and easy going on your technique will win out each and every time.

Not too far into my walk mother nature tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to the chopped up tree trunks left to decompose into the earth. At least I thought it was a tap. I liked the fence photo frame as I looked into the nature strip. It was a nice effect was my thinking.

One of the elements that maintains the engine of motivation is Having the Desire for something, not to be confused with luck or success.

Having Desire for something is not a few hours' pursuit, it is a practice of many many hours focused on that which is desired, not just focusing energy, but on action and taking the steps to achieve it.

Like a dromedary in the middle of the desert you walk, you walk

No oasis, no rain
Only distant mirages, only distant mirages, only distant mirages

Firstly let me apologise for the opening picture in this post that breaks all of the rules, conventions and principles (and maybe even some international laws) of design, taste and decency.

My only defence is that I am a rebel, a renegade, a maverick an idiot when it comes to such matters.

Strange as it may sound, but I saw this building for the first time, although I had been to this suburb of St. Petersburg more than once before (Pushkin, Russia). But my path has always been away from this place. I think my friend @'s interest in buying an old abandoned property played a telepathic role. I would not argue that this property is abandoned, but it is definitely ancient.

Every day there is a new discovery for me on my explorations along the wild and rugged shoreline of the southernmost coast of Africa. It never ceases to amaze me how nature flourishes despite seemingly challenging conditions. One of the most unusual trees I have encountered is this one seen in today’s photograph. It has grown up along the sheer rock face and nestled itself on top the rock formation, like a giant bird nest, while the roots remain under the same rocky feature. This is truly a case of life making its own way toward the light and adapting to the prevailing conditions on the ground.

Andrea never imagined that her first trip to the capital would be under such circumstances, she had always wanted to visit her cousin to see the capital Caracas, the city that never sleeps.

She had had to leave her small town unexpectedly to meet her cousin, who had to leave the next day to travel to another country.

As she approached her destination, she remembered all the vacations that her cousin had visited her in the village, but she had always postponed spending a few days with her cousin in the city.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
