"El entierro del conde de Orgaz" (El Greco, 1586-88), Iglesia de Santo Tomé, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La iglesia de Santo Tomé o de Santo Tomás Apóstol se encuentra ubicada en el centro histórico de la ciudad española de Toledo, y fue fundada después de la reconquista de esta ciudad por el rey Alfonso VI de León. Aparece citada en el siglo XII, como construida sobre el solar de una antigua mezquita del siglo XI. Esta mezquita junto con otras de la ciudad fueron utilizadas como iglesias cristianas sin grandes cambios, ya que en la toma de la ciudad no hubo destrucción de edificios.
Sin embargo, a principios del siglo XIV, por encontrarse en estado ruinoso fue totalmente reedificada a cargo de Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, señor de Orgaz y se transformó el antiguo alminar de la mezquita en campanario en estilo mudéjar. Su fama se debe sobre todo por albergar en su interior, el cuadro El entierro del Conde de Orgaz de El Greco, que puede contemplarse accediendo por la parte posterior de la iglesia.
El entierro del señor de Orgaz, popularmente llamado El entierro del conde de Orgaz, es un óleo sobre lienzo de 4,80 x 3,60 metros, pintado en estilo manierista por El Greco entre los años 1586 y 1588. Fue realizado para la parroquia de Santo Tomé de Toledo, España, y se encuentra conservado en este mismo templo. Está considerada una de las mejores y más admiradas obras del autor.
El cuadro representa el milagro en el que, según la tradición, San Esteban y San Agustín bajaron del Cielo para enterrar personalmente a Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, señor de la villa de Orgaz, en la iglesia de Santo Tomé, como premio por una vida ejemplar de devoción a los santos, su humildad y las obras de caridad que llevó a cabo.
El Greco aceptó el encargo de realizar la obra en 1586, algo más de dos siglos y medio después de los hechos que en ella representó. Recibió detalladas directrices sobre cómo debía aparecer el milagro de la zona inferior del lienzo, pero una vaga descripción de la zona de la Gloria. El pintor cretense incorporó en la zona superior la representación del Juicio y la aceptación en el Cielo del alma del señor de Orgaz. También cargó a la escena del entierro de un aire de actualidad, retratando a varones de su tiempo con ropajes del siglo XVI y situando los hechos en un oficio de difuntos con las características de la época.
The Church of Santo Tomé or Santo Tomás Apóstol is located in the historic centre of the Spanish city of Toledo, and was founded after the reconquest of this city by King Alfonso VI of León. It is mentioned in the 12th century, as having been built on the site of an old mosque from the 11th century. This mosque, along with others in the city, were used as Christian churches without major changes, since no buildings were destroyed when the city was taken.
However, at the beginning of the 14th century, as it was in a state of ruin, it was completely rebuilt by Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, Lord of Orgaz, and the old minaret of the mosque was transformed into a bell tower in the Mudejar style. Its fame is due above all to the fact that it houses the painting The Burial of the Count of Orgaz by El Greco, which can be seen by entering through the back of the church.
The Burial of the Lord of Orgaz, popularly called The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, is an oil on canvas measuring 4.80 x 3.60 metres, painted in the Mannerist style by El Greco between 1586 and 1588. It was made for the parish of Santo Tomé in Toledo, Spain, and is preserved in this same temple. It is considered one of the best and most admired works of the author.
The painting represents the miracle in which, according to tradition, Saint Stephen and Saint Augustine came down from Heaven to personally bury Gonzalo Ruiz de Toledo, lord of the town of Orgaz, in the church of Santo Tomé, as a reward for an exemplary life of devotion to the saints, his humility and the works of charity he carried out.
El Greco accepted the commission to create the work in 1586, a little more than two and a half centuries after the events he depicted in it. He received detailed instructions on how the miracle in the lower part of the canvas should appear, but only a vague description of the Glory area. The Cretan painter incorporated the representation of the Judgement and the acceptance of the soul of the Lord of Orgaz into Heaven in the upper area. He also gave the burial scene a contemporary air, depicting men of his time in 16th-century clothing and situating the events in a funeral service with the characteristics of the time.
Psyllobora vigintiduopunctata
"The brightest of the yellow British ladybirds, it always has 22 spots, which rarely join up. It is a very small ladybird at 3 to 4.5 mm. There are two colour varieties, one where the pronotum is yellow, the other where it is white.
"Habitat: As a mildew feeder, the 22-spot Ladybird is best looked for amongst low vegetation.
"When to see it: April to August.
"Life History: It is unusual amongst ladybirds in that eats mildew, grazing from the soil surface or from low herbage.
"The 22 spot is fairly frequent throughout England, but less so in Scotland and Wales."
During its time leased to Marquette Rail, GMTX GP38-2 #2635 was the pride of the fleet, along with SD40-2 #3001. It had a tendency to load very quickly, which was great for switching, but not so much for road service. As a result, 2635 was almost always kept on the yard job in Manistee and very rarely made it out on the road. On one of said rare occasions, I caught it leading a then-also-rare daylight Z151 south across CSX's bridge over the Grand River in Grand Rapids. The drifts north of town must have been big, as the snow piles on 2635 suggest.

I'm very proud of myself for this one. It was a lot of fun to step up and put together, I havent used my macro lens in awhile so it was awesome to pull it out again and do some more work with it
I was thrilled to be able to catch a Marsh Wren building a nest in the reeds! Imagine my chagrin when I read that the males make multiple dummy nests. “Males routinely mate with 2 or more females and build at least 6 dummy nests for every female they mate with. One male built 22 nests on his territory.” (CornellLab)

The sun halo, or 22 degree halo, is caused by sunlight passing through ice crystals in cirrus clouds within the Earth's atmosphere.
This weekend in Mount Shasta, we detected a faint rainbow appearing in the overcast skies at sunrise. Then it grew, so that it was a half circle expanding across the sky. I since learned this type of ring is caused by sunlight passing through ice crystals in cirrus clouds within the Earth’s atmosphere. The crystals bend direct sunlight, projecting it elsewhere in the sky; at a 22 degree angle, a halo forms around the sun.

Looks like another set of adverts this time Google advertises its search engine here depicting "where do the unicorns live".
I noted this at first on the 74 but didn't had a proper check until that morning.

22—Self
I want to hide my whole self, I am scared
I am so much more than what people see—I am a body, a mind, a spirit, a soul
He sees me, He loves me, He knows me more intimately than any person ever could. I do not need to be afraid of Him.

A 22° halo is an optical phenomenon that belongs to the family of ice crystal halos, in the form of a ring with a radius of approximately 22° around the Sun or Moon (in which case it is also called a moon ring or winter halo). It forms as the sun- or moonlight is refracted in millions of hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.[1] The halo is large; the radius is roughly the size of an outstretched hand at arm's length.[2] A 22° halo may be visible on as many as 100 days per year—much more frequently than rainbows.

22/366 - Peek-A-Boo
Update: I was recently on a b&w spree and was mostly on autopilot in postprocessing, but this one actually seems to need the colour.
We took a walk at a nature preserve that is a great place when the weather starts getting warm, as there is a creek with steep walls and only a few paths leading to it so Dolce can explore the creek, go for a swim, and hike around off leash since he really can't leave the creek area. There is also a really large field (where we are in this shot) that is enclosed on 3 sides by dense trees and the fourth side is fenced except for the entrance to the parking area. This is another place he gets to run off leash. He loves hunting in the long grass, although he never actually catches anything.
