Wikipedia: Wat Pho, also spelled Wat Po, is a Buddhist temple complex in the Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok, Thailand. It is on Rattanakosin Island, directly south of the Grand Palace. Known also as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, its official name is Wat Phra Chetuphon Wimon Mangkhalaram Rajwaramahawihan.

Phra Maha Chedi Si Rajakarn is a group of four large stupas, each 42 metres high. These four chedis are dedicated to the first four Chakri kings. The first, in green mosaic tiles, was constructed by Rama I to house the remnants of the great Buddha from Ayuthaya, which was scorched to remove its gold covering by the Burmese. Two more were built by Rama III, one in white tiles to hold the ashes of his father Rama II, another in yellow for himself. A fourth in blue was built by Rama IV who then enclosed the four chedis leaving no space for more to be built.

NECKLACE: Eternity: Mother and Son {for Roxi}~ 100% Donation ~ at Nymphai

copying Duchess’ words, from her blog :

Last weekend we were hit with the devastating news that our beloved Roxi Firanelli lost her son during the night.

Sadness enveloped our little world as the news spread throughout the Ippos family. Luminaries that you can light and send off into the sky have been set up on the dock at Nymphai to help Roxi with funeral expenses. A wonderful creator also designed this delicate mesh Eternity necklace in remembrance of Jeffery, beautifully titled “Eternity: Mother & Son.” The necklace can also be found on the dock near the Luminary Lanterns and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Roxi......

Hair ice, also called ice wool or frost beard, is a rare natural phenomenon in which a hair-like, woolly ice structure develops on dead and wet heartwood, not on the bark, of deciduous trees.

Hair ice can form when the air temperature is slightly below freezing. Fungi occur in the wood and the metabolism of these fungi, among other things, releases water that is forced out through very small openings in the wood. The water squeezed out freezes into a hair-like structure. High humidity is necessary for the successful formation of hair ice so that the water squeezed out cannot evaporate and remains available for freezing. As long as the fungi continue to produce water and the climatic conditions remain favorable, hair ice can continue to grow. If the air temperature becomes too low, the metabolism of the fungi drops to such a low level that insufficient water is produced.

Hair ice is very delicate and melts immediately upon contact. If hair ice is exposed to sunlight, it will quickly sublimate and disappear. Hair ice can therefore be found early in the morning or only in shady places.

IJshaar, ook wel haarijs of sneeuwbaard, is een zeldzaam natuurlijk verschijnsel waarbij een haarachtige, wollige ijsstructuur ontstaat op dood en nat kernhout, dus niet op de bast, van loofbomen.

IJshaar kan ontstaan als de luchttemperatuur even onder het vriespunt ligt. In het hout komen schimmels voor en bij de stofwisseling van deze schimmels komt onder andere water vrij dat door zeer kleine openingen in het hout (houtstralen) naar buiten wordt geperst. Het naar buiten geperste water bevriest tot een haarachtige structuur. Een hoge luchtvochtigheid is noodzakelijk voor de succesvolle vorming van ijshaar zodat het naar buiten geperste water niet kan verdampen en voor bevriezing beschikbaar blijft. Zolang de schimmels water blijven produceren en de klimatologische omstandigheden gunstig blijven, kan ijshaar aan blijven groeien. Als de luchttemperatuur te laag wordt, daalt de stofwisseling van de schimmels tot zo'n laag niveau dat er onvoldoende water geproduceerd wordt.

IJshaar is zeer teer en smelt na aanraking direct weg. Als ijshaar aan zonlicht wordt blootgesteld, zal het snel sublimeren en verdwijnen. IJshaar is daarom 's morgens vroeg of alleen op schaduwrijke plaatsen te vinden.

i am an advocate of multiple titles, why not?

The Andromeda Galaxy also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula, is a spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth, and the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda.

The virial mass of the Andromeda Galaxy is of the same order of magnitude as that of the Milky Way, at a trillion solar masses.

The number of stars contained in the Andromeda Galaxy is estimated at one trillion, or roughly twice the number estimated for the Milky Way.

The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are expected to collide in around 4.5 billion years, merging to form a giant elliptical galaxy or a large lenticular galaxy. With an apparent magnitude of 3.4, the Andromeda Galaxy is among the brightest of the Messier Objects making it visible to the naked eye from Earth on moonless nights, even when viewed from areas with moderate light pollution.

Corvids are one of my favourite species always full of character and mischief and none more so than this little beauty the hoodie.

Normally I see them on the shore line or in fields so I was pleased to get this one perched in a tree above my head.

Closely related to England's Carrion Crow they are to me a lot cheekier and more flamboyant than their close cousins.

Whilst not everyone's cup of tea I am a self confessed fan going far enough to having a real passion for them.

I'd also like to tell you about our new group on Flickr: Pictures of good movies. It's a collection of film scenes that show you instantly which film they're from. We'd love to have you as a member or creator of such images.

Also known as a Sand Martin, this is a very rare visitor to our Southern state though more common in North India where they winter after migrating from the Pale Arctic region. They have a wide spread across much of Europe, Asia and even North America.

The birds are pretty small - maybe 12-14 cms and have a slow erratic flight path. They tend to catch the insects in flight making them pretty hard to shoot in flight. Two birds came to a city lake, I was lucky to have spotted them close. I sat on the ground trying to shoot some birds and this one came close by giving this wonderful opportunity. The birds are solo fliers unlike other swallows like the Barn Swallow or Streak Throated Swallow which fly in small groups. The Bank swallow joined others species, but it was flying alone with no other members of its species around.

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.
