A lot of smaller birds flap their wings in flight at almost the exact rate as the 12 frames per second of my camera in burst mode making the wings appear stationary in shot after shot. Large birds like this American White Pelican, with their much slower strokes, provide as many different wing configurations as the length of the burst, making it much more difficult to pick a favorite position. Especially during a long, running takeoff from Horsepen Bayou.
First introduced in the 8C 2300, the Vittorio Jano designed eight cylinder engine scored at least one victory in every major race and championship. In its initial 1931 configuration, the engine displaced 2336 cc, it grew gradually to 2905 cc, primarily by increasing the stroke. The engine was created by mounting two alloy blocks of four cylinders on a single crankcase. On top of the two blocks an alloy head was installed, housing two camshafts. Aspiration was forced, through two Roots-Type Superchargers.
Although the engine increased in size throughout its career, its layout and auxiliaries remained very much similar to Jano's 1931 design. One of the best known racing cars powered by the 8 cylinder engine was the Tipo B or P3 of 1932, which is to date considered as one of the finest Grand Prix racers ever constructed. Run by Enzo Ferrari's Scuderia Ferrari, the Alfa Romeos were almost unbeatable.
From its 1931 introduction, the 8C 2300 took four straight victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, driven by talented drivers like Tazio Nuvolari and Luigi Chinetti. Tazio Nuvolari's brilliance was even more visible when driving the P3, the first single seater racer ever. The P3 was unbeaten in 1933, but eventually succumbed to defeat by the greater budgets being spent by Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union.
With the rise of the German Grand Prix teams, Alfa Romeo focused more of its attention on sportscar and road racing. Designed specifically for Italy's most legendary road race, the Mille Miglia, was the 8C 2900. Much like the contemporary Grand Prix racers, the 8C 2900 featured all-round independent suspension, with wishbones at the front and swing-axles at the rear. Installed in the chassis was a 220 bhp version of the 2.9 litre eight cylinder engine.
A total of six of these road racers, later known as 8C 2900A, were constructed. Three of these were entered in the 1936 running of the Mille Miglia. The new cars were immediately successful and occupied the first three places at the finish with the Brivio and Ongaro driven 8C on top. A year later a second victory was scored. With the winning cars as a base, a road going customer version was constructed. Dubbed 8C 2900B, the road car featured a de-tuned engine, but other than that is very similar to the racer.
Two versions were available, the 2800 mm short wheelbase (Corto) and 3000 mm long wheelbase (Lungo) versions. Most of these were sent to Touring to be fitted with Berlinetta, Spyder and Roadster bodies. With its competition chassis and high top speed it was faster and quicker than anything its competition had to offer. Due to its high price, only a very few of these supercars were constructed (10 Lungo and 20 Corto chassis).
Being very similar to the competition 8C 2900A, it came as no surprise the 8C 2900B was used as a racer as well. To suit this purpose Alfa Romeo constructed a further 13 8C 2900B chassis fitted with the 220 bhp engine. Many of these were fitted with roadster bodies and were competed in road races like the Mille Miglia. After the two 8C 2900A victories in 1936 and 1937, another two victories were scored by the 8C 2900B in 1938 and 1947. No other Alfa Romeo has scored as many 'MM' victories as the 8C 2900.
Although it was noted that a small number of these were produced, but the data on the car stated that this particular one was a one off, and I suspect it was by virtue of who custom bodied the car.
Que algú m'expliqui, això. En una raconada d'Oxford, dins els edificis de la universitat, hi ha aquesta porta amb escala, porta interior, i baraneta protectora tot davant d'ella. Una conjunció força enigmàtica.
=====================
Somebody could explain this to me? In a corner of Oxford, in the middle of what are univeristy buildings (next to the Sheldonian Theatre), stands this very odd "door configuration". That's a door in a wall, enclosed by it's own minuscule barrier, that leads upstairs to another, enclosed door. Me-dont-understand.
The goldfish (Carassius auratus) is a freshwater fish in the family Cyprinidae of order Cypriniformes. It is one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish. A relatively small member of the carp family (which also includes the Prussian carp and the crucian carp), the goldfish is native to East Asia. It was first selectively bred in ancient China more than 1,000 years ago, and several distinct breeds have since been developed. Goldfish breeds vary greatly in size, body shape, fin configuration and coloration (various combinations of white, yellow, orange, red, brown, and black are known). Goldfish have strong associative learning abilities, as well as social learning skills. Goldfish are gregarious, displaying schooling behavior, as well as displaying the same types of feeding behaviors. 28783
This curious configuration in the landscape caught my eye as I was driving past... the light over the fields, the hedgerow adds interest, the tree to the left, lines in the crops in the foreground. Not much more to say really.
Captain Davie described the configuration of the great banking room. "Before conversion, three sets of four teller stations were placed between the square pillars on the right side. Each station included the main parts of classical architecture in reduced size, the horizontal entablature resting on the two vertical columns and consisting of cornice, frieze, and architrave. Strong structures supported a bronze hinged wicket at each of the 16 positions. Some of these groupings have been rearranged to accommodate hotel design requirements."
Although the use of the San Diego Trust & Savings Bank building changed ten years ago, from a bank and offices to a hotel with 245 guest rooms, the original features of the structure remain remarkably intact. The Courtyard-Marriott Hotel, located in the heart of a vibrant downtown San Diego, is a spectacular example of successful readapted use. The hotel stands proud in the bank's place, as the sentinel of an important piece of San Diego history.

Ruins of Kumurdo Cathedral stand on the background of ill-favored and barren landscape of Javakheti plateau, in a distance of 12 km from Akhalkalaki. The extensive inscription curved on the stone slab that fortunately preserved up to now tells that the threshold of the cathedral was placed in May, 964 AD. According to that inscription the Bishop of Kumurdo John has initiated church construction. Name of an architect was Sacotsari. After reconsideration of the six-apse design five-apse configuration of the church was obtained, instead of being situated radial. Western rectangular arm of the church is three-nave, with internal narthex and three sided gallery arranged in its western end. External layout of the church is cross-shaped; in response to three-partite sanctuary two triangular niches are arranged on western façade, coupled with two others, one at each lateral façade. A porch-chapel is erected in front of the main entrance — the eastern one, with a tiny shrine arranged in the thickness of the load-bearing wall. Despite of the relative simplification of the design Sakotsari has managed to preserve all integral elements of the six-apse construction and provide sufficient dynamics through trapezoidal bemas running along the lateral apses and column-like protrusions that support sub-dome sagittal arches. All the aforementioned provides general elevation of the internal space and creates strong impression of motion and charge of life.
All elements of decoration – window headers and framings adorned with light, open-work-type fretwork, a complex, large frame of the sanctuary window, cornices decorated with different images are scattered over the vast surfaces of the building exterior, faced with most accurately hewn stones. Adornment is so perfect, clear and clean that they may be perceived as the embroidery instructed on the metal surfaces. Several risings still well noticeable on eastern sub-dome tromps include images of the church construction donors – Queen Gurandukht, her brother King Leon of Abkhazs and her spouse – King Gurgen of Georgians. All of those images coupled with those incorporated in the sanctuary window decoration are plain and tabular, while the heads or possibly the faces of archangels placed in the niches and over the southern porch, on the contrary, are rounded and volumetric. Motion is sensible even in symmetrical elements – inscription over the western façade is slanted northwards, interlocked tromp-like spaces are arranged on the corners of the church arm exteriors.
Even today, with missing dome and western arm the monument is perhaps as gorgeous and splendid as it was upon the completion of its construction. The temple has got several sections that were added to its body at later times the most important of which is southern porch constructed along the western arm. This attachment of the first of XI c was initiated by Queen Marry of Georgia.
All preserved fragments of wall painting, for instance within the sanctuary are relatively younger then the building itself. It seems, frescoes of the north-western apse were performed sometime in XIII c. Western porch of the cathedral bears footprints of XVI c refurbishment. Two X c steles are erected close to the temple.

Ο ωραιότερος κοιμητηριακός ναός,εξ όσων έχω δεί τουλάχιστον,είναι αναμφιβόλως ο Ιερός Ναός προς τιμήν του Αγίου Γεωργίου στο χωριό Γλίνος, ο οποίος,σύμφωνα με εντοιχισμένη κτητορική επιγραφή, ανηγέρθη το 1818 στη θέση Παλιοκόπρια, όπου βρισκόταν αρχικά το χωριό ως ενοριακός,τότε,ναός.
Σχετικά προσφάτως ολοκληρώθηκαν οι εργασίες υποστήλωσης,εξωραϊσμού και διαμόρφωσης του περιβάλλοντος χώρου με πλήρη σεβασμό προς την αρχιτεκτονική φυσιογνωμία του ώστε το μεταβυζαντινό μνημείο,όπως έχει χαρακτηρισθεί από το Υπουργείο Πολιτισμού,να κληροδοτηθεί στις επόμενες γενεές εδραίο και περικαλλέστερο.
The most beautiful cemetery, to my knowledge, is undoubtedly the Holy Church in honor of St. George in the village of Glinos, which, according to a built-in inscription, was erected in 1818 at the site of Paliokopria, where the village was originally then.
Recently completed work of restoration, landscaping and configuration of the surrounding area in full respect of the architectural character of the post-Byzantine monument,as designated by the Ministry of Culture, to be bequeathed to future generations well-established and more beautiful.

Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden is a large park with an eminent garden in Shinjuku and Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. It was originally a residence of the Naitō family in the Edo period. Afterwards, it became a garden under the management of the Imperial Household Agency of Japan. It is now a park under the jurisdiction of the national Ministry of the Environment.
The shogun bequeathed this land to Lord Naitō (daimyo) of Tsuruga in the Edo period who completed a garden here in 1772. After the Meiji Restoration the house and its grounds were converted into an experimental agricultural centre. It then because a botanical garden before becoming an imperial garden in 1879. The current configuration of the garden was completed in 1906. Most of the garden was destroyed by air raids in 1945, during the later stages of World War II. The garden was rebuilt after the war.
The jurisdiction over the Imperial Palace Outer Garden and the Kyoto imperial garden was transferred to the Ministry of Health and Welfare (now part of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare) in 1947.
On May 21, 1949 the garden became open to the public as "National Park Shinjuku Imperial Gardens". It came under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment in January 2001 with the official name "Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden".

Different configurations of collected steel sculptural forms. Two being magnetic allowing for reconfiguration at the whim of the owner/curator. The diameter of the round base is about 200mm.
An orderly configuration of tinted corrugated fiberglas, weathered paint, partially blocked-in windows, rust stains, and asphalt, but not too orderly, which might be a bit boring, even if somewhat more satisfying. I meditated for a while on the shapes and patterns of the gray cinderblock filling in the bottom half of the windows, like pieces of a puzzle that don't fit. I can also zone out on the white area with its various crack patters, stains, and worn-down spots.
Tewkesbury Abbey.
Although the Abbey was founded in 1087 by nobleman Robert FitzHamon, building of the present Abbey did not start until 1102. Built to house Benedictine monks, the Norman Abbey was near completion when consecrated in 1121.
Embellishments to the long nave roof and the apsidal chancel were made in the first half of the 14th century in the Decorated style. After the dissolution in 1540 most of the claustral buildings and the Lady Chapel were quarried for their materials but the Abbey Church was sold to the parishioners for £453. Changes made since then to the internal configuration have developed to reflect contemporary styles of devotion, currently of the Anglo-Catholic persuasion.
Lying at the southern edge of the old town, the Abbey quietly dominates the land and skyline with its long nave and “probably the largest and finest Romanesque tower in England” (Pevsner). Vestiges of its social domination can be deduced from the layout of the streets and buildings, and the occasional relic; the Abbot’s gatehouse, the Abbey Mill, The vicarage and the Tudor-style dwellings in Church Street. The area surrounding the Abbey is protected from development by the Abbey Lawn Trust, originally funded by a United States benefactor.

Multiple spots cross the solar chromosphere. These colder regions give a particular configuration to the surface of the Sun, such that if we have the perseverance of looking at the Sun daily with a telescope (always with the appropriate filters!!), we will see how these active regions paint a different view of our star. Every 11 years, the Sun describes a cycle of activity in which maximum sunspots are recorded and minimums in which no spots are observed. Currently, we are going through a period of intense activity.
If you have the chance, don't miss the opportunity to see the Sun with a telescope; It's a sight you won't forget.
This photograph is the result of stacking 15 photographs in raw format, taken with a Nikon D5600 camera at primary focus on a Maksutov-Cassegrain "Explore Scientific" 127, f/15 telescope. A Meade 575 white light filter was used. The final image was processed with AstroSurface, Siril and Gimp.

Benedetto Buffalino – La voiture sur le lampadaire, 2019 - Voiture Peugeot 406 blanche, métal, bois, système d’éclairage
Pour Benedetto Bufalino, chaque œuvre est une nouvelle aventure à imaginer. Ici pour le quartier de Paris La Défense il décide de poser une voiture sur un lampadaire. La voiture, symbole de la modernité du xxe siècle, a été pendant toute une période un élément central des villes, occupant tout l’espace (routes, parkings...). La voiture est un objet essentiel dans l’œuvre de Bufalino.
