"ATLAS" working overtime
View allAll Photos Tagged Atlas,
This Atlas got lost with the bombings of WWII. Some years ago it was refound and rebought by DB train Company.
Now in September the sculpture will be collocated on its old place: on top of main station's entrance - like in the 1920s
The Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) is one of the largest lepidopterans in the world. This giant moth has a very short, vestigial proboscis, and they do not eat once they have emerged from the cocoon, relying on fat storage for energy. Every flight takes valuable energy and can take days off their already short lives, as it has a very short life span of only one to two weeks. They conserve energy by flying as little as possible. A female will wait for a male to come along and be fertilised, lay eggs and die.
This is Atlas, the Eurasian Eagle-Owl located at the Alabama Wildlife Center at Oak Mountain State Park. The wildife center has a dual mission to provide medical and rehabilitative care for Alabama's injured and orphaned native birds & to educate people in order to heighten awareness and appreciation of Alabama's native wildlife.

Atlas moth, also known as the "Snakehead moth" or the "Queen of the Moths," is one of the biggest moths in the world. You’ll find these giants in the tropical forests of India, China, and Malaysia. With their earthy-colored wings and snake-like patterns on the tips, they’re built to impress and scare off predators!

In the BREEAM rating, Atlas is the most sustainable educational building in the world and is among the 7 most sustainable buildings in the world.
The original building was constructed in 1959-1963.
Eindhoven University of Technology is proud of the result. Nicole Ummelen, vice-chairman of the Executive Board, states that it is the university's task to contribute to making the world more sustainable. “We do this mainly through our research and by training engineers. But we believe that as a university we should also set a good example, practice what you preach.”

Out today with Pauls Pix 53, firstly for a wander around the house and gardens at Ightham Mote and then around Emmetts Gardens, where this Blue Atlas Cedar was growing.
Both properties are owned by the National Trust and both were quite busy ... but ... it is the Easter Holidays, so lots of children running around.
I normally refrain from uploading animals in enclosures, but here an exception (in a butterfly garden).
Attacus atlas/Atlas moth, 25-30cm wingspan, this moth has no mouth, they only live a few days, so no need for eating.
Male smells female from kilometres without using chanel, so also hardly any need for female to fly.

A journey full of contrast, color and exoticism, ranging from beauty to the Spartan. When crossing the Atlas, it draws attention to its mountainous system, the harshness of its climate, the scarce or null vegetation. The grandeur of the desert and its dunes. The tradition of their villages and the color of their souks. The hardness of day to day, which suffer and support its people.
El atlas
Un viaje lleno de contraste, color y exotismo, que va desde la belleza a lo espartano. Al cruzar el Atlas, llama la atención su sistema montañoso, la dureza de su clima, la escasa o nula vegetación. La grandiosidad del desierto y sus dunas. La tradición de sus pueblos y el color de sus zocos. La dureza del día a día, que sufren y soportan sus gentes.
The Atlas Fountain stands in the grounds of Castle Howard, North Yorkshire, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.
The Atlas Fountain and pond dates from 1850. It was exhibited at The Great Exhibition prior to installation.
A large globe of bronze dominates the fountain supported on the shoulders of Atlas. Four recumbent Tritons blow water through shells over Atlas kneeling on a pedestal in the central tazza. Other jets fill the lower scallop shell basins, which overflow into the central basin producing a dramatic cascade of white water.
