A convex mirror along a trail/road in Hontoon Island State Park in the Saint Johns River outside Deland, Florida. Hontoon Island is a low swampy island made up primarily of swamps and stands of pine, palms, and oak. The mirror must be there so you can see the almost nonexistent traffic coming along the road. The traffic is nonexistent because there are no road connections to the island. You can only get there by private boat or by the pedestrian ferry.
finally have "mounted" the Leitz Colorplan on a Helicoid...thinking easier (to get infinity) to get it on some bellows. Photo into a plastic "convex" mirror-like surface.. not even sure what it's made for. Found it in a thrift store. 😄

Escribano palustre
Emberiza schoeniclus
Familia: Emberícidos – Emberizidae
Aspecto: Es un escribano más bien pequeño. Los machos tienen una cabeza distintiva de color blanco y negro, y partes superiores veteadas de color marrón herrumbre y negro. Las hembras tienen un aspecto similar al del escribano pigmeo.
Tamaño: Largo 13,5-15,5 cm, peso 15-24 g.
Nido: En el suelo en un morón de juncias o cerca de las raíces de un arbusto de sauce. Hecho de paja, recubierto con pasto seco, pelos y algunas plumas.
Reproducción: Pone 2 a 6 huevos en mayo, incubados principalmente por la hembra durante 11 a 15 días. Los polluelos permanecen en el nido durante 8 a 11 días, y luego aprenden a volar algunos días después de abandonar el nido.
Distribución: Se reproduce en toda Finlandia cerca de lagos y ríos, en juncales y lugares donde hay sauces. La población reproductora finlandesa se estima en 200.000 a 400.000 parejas.
Migración: Migra de día y de noche. Abandona Finlandia de septiembre a octubre, y regresa de marzo a abril. Pasa el invierno alrededor del Mediterráneo, también ocasionalmente en Finlandia.
Alimentación: Invertebrados, semillas, materia vegetal.
Sonidos: Un “tsee” alegre, canto corto, modesto, como un tartamudeo.
El macho del escribano palustre tiene la cabeza de color negro y el peto que se extiende hasta el pecho, solamente interrumpido por las rayas distintivas de color blanco, en forma de bigote, y un collar blanco alrededor de la parte posterior del cuello. El dorso es de color marrón herrumbre con vetas negras. La rabadilla y las cobertoras alares son de color grisáceo, y las terciarias (las plumas grandes en la base del ala) y los bordes de las plumas de las alas primarias son de color marrón herrumbre. Las partes inferiores son de color marrón con un veteado tenue.
Las hembras y las aves jóvenes tienen un aspecto similar al del escribano pigmeo, pero tienen vetas en las alas de color marrón herrumbre, mejillas de color marrón grisáceo, perfil convexo hacia el borde superior del pico, y rayas más anchas y menos distintivas en los flancos. El escribano palustre tiene el iris, el pico y las patas de color marrón oscuro.
A silver-gilt convex shield with a central medallion cast in high relief showing Apollo in a quadriga, surrounded by stars and female figures representing the constellations. The broad border is cast in low relief with scenes of human life (a wedding and banquet, siege, ambush and engagement, harvest, judicial appeal, vintage, oxherds defending their beasts and a Cretan dance), within an outer border of stylised waves and a broad reeded rim.

Rectangular slab, with a convex profile, decorated with a trireme. The ship is depicted with an “acrostolium” with a volute curled inwards and, at the stern, with a “rostrum” with three swords. The hull is protected by longitudinal beams.
The ship moves to the right pushed by the triple row of oars; two reliefs depicting the icon of a deity and the head of Medusa are carved at the bow; at the stern rises the “stylis” with the flag. In addition to the helmsman (“gubernator”), seven naked rowers and a figure at the bow appear as members of the crew.
This and the slab inv. no. 6600 belong to a funerary monument with a circular drum. The two slabs, probably, recall the feats accomplished by the military fleet stationed at Miseno in the last decades of the 1st century BC.

Stained in Blood
Description: Cycloneda sanguinea is a beetle in the order Coleoptera, suborder Polyphaga, infraorder Cucujiformia, superfamily Cucujoidea, family Coccinellidae, subfamily Coccinellinae and tribe Coccinellini. Its synonym binominal nomenclature is Coccinella sanguinea (Linnaeus, 1763).
The dorso is convex and the elytra measure around 5mm according to Gravena (1983) e Gallo et al. (1988), and are orangeish-red with many punctuations mostly focused near the elytral suture. They are remarkable in that they are unspotted; a different characteristic from most Coccinellids. The pronotum has two white patches, one on each side that goes from the beggining of its posterior area going all the way towards the posterolateral angle, to the anterolateral angle to the beggining of the anterior area. Close to these white patches, between them and the median area of the pronotum there is a pear-like shaped, small white patch. The pronotum is black, contrasting with the white patches. The head is black and small with two large compound eyes; next to the eyes there are two white markings and a white line above the maxillary palpi. The scutellum is small, black and triangular. Sexual dimorphism is present and evident: Males possess a white patch going from the medial area of the anterior part of the pronotum upwards but ending shortly. In simpler terms, they have a white line just behind the head going up and ending shortly. Females (which is the case of the subject portrayed) has no such characteristic, the anteromedial area of the pronotum lacking the white patch and being entirely black.
Legs made of a coxa, femur, tibia, tibial spur, tarsus and tarsal claw. On the underside, as evidently seen in another picture I took (flic.kr/p/29Ak3nQ), we can see a postcoxal line just posterior to the coxa. 6 abdominal segments are evident; the first forms an upside-down "U", the second is the longest and the subsequent segments proceed to shorten in length. Underside is also made of an epimeron, elytral epipleuron, metasternum, mesosternum, prosternal carina and prosternum. It is evident in the lower view of the head the presence of maxillary palpi. I should not give an analysis on the antennae as I don't know their morphological characteristics; the number of segments might fail me, but I believe around 11 segments are present. Wings are located under the elytra and are membranous, veiny and transparent.
The larvae are slender with 11 segments, which might vary between growth instars. The first and second segments display a large, yellowish-orange patch with black markings on the laterals as well as yellowish-orange patches. Third segment made of a yellowish-orange patch on each lateral and a tiny patch dorsally. Fourth and seventh segments with a small yellowish-orange patch dorsally and 6th segment with a longer, yet still small dorsal yellowish-orange patch. 8th segment with a tiny yellowish-orange patch dorsally. 9th, 10th and 11th segments are black. 5th segment almost entirely yellowish-orange. The pronotum is yellowish-orange with two, large black patches near the posterior part. The head is black. Legs are black with a coxa, femur, tibia and, seemingly, tarsus, but my knowledge on their legs end here.
Pupae are rounded/curved and overall orange with black dorsal, lateral and ventral parts. Appendages are free and evident, with no movement and fixed on the substrate. However, they can curve their body if threatened.
The larvae and the adults are predators, feeding on the liquid of their prey and leaving only the exuvia as residual mass when larvae, and eating the prey completely when adults. They are insectivorous and will mostly feed on members of Aphididae (such as Dactynotus sp.) and Coccoidea. The pupae of Cycloneda sanguinea possess the remarkable characteristic of being able to "bite" potentially threatening individuals. The incubation of the eggs takes around 3-5 days and the larval stage takes around 9 days, with an average of each instar being around 2,43, 1,57, 1,86 and 3,57 days, respectively for the first, second, third and fourth instars. The pre-pupa and pupa stages last around 0,86 to 4,14 days, respectively. Larvae generally feed on an average of 14-17 prey per day and around 137-320 (depending on the temperature; higher temperatures mean less consumption, while colder temperatures mean more consumption) prey during the whole larval period, with an elevating consumption after each instar. The larvae can depend on cannibalism if needed. Recently emerged adults present light-yellow elytra. Sometimes, the pre-pupa stage is skipped, with the mature larva directly turning into the pupa. Adults can live around 50 days and eat around 20 prey a day.
They occur in many countries of Latin America, North America and Europe, with a wide distribution range.
Habitats include weedy areas with plenty of plants that draw in Aphididae and Coccoidea. This includes many habitats within their area of distribution. Found on the 16th floor of a flat in an urban habitat.

These convex discs are two sides of a pendent. I am experimenting with the techniques needed to create a 3-D project from a blended sheet of clay. Although I love the effect, I find translucent clay too soft and difficult to work with. My goal is to make irregularly shaped holes and inscribe intricate designs.
#AB_FAV_COLOURS_ 🎨
As I was driving past an industrial estate in Holland.
I saw this structure, a rainbow-coloured 30m high pole advertising the colour photo lab...
I could not resist a close-up of this, I just like puzzling graphics, this one has an added bonus, when you rotate it, the metal scales go from concave to convex.
Rainbows are all around us, for those who look.
THANK YOU very much for your time, M, (*_*)

A convex buddle on one of Levant's tin dressing floors. The columns behind were supports for the mill building, to the right are the remains of the copper precipitation area, and on the top of the hill are the calciners.
The brushes of buddles were edged with heather and Levant had its own field of heather nearby to use as a local source. It's thought this may be unique in Cornish mines. (John Corin - "Levant, A Champion Cornish Mine").
Note to self: Check you don't load a roll of film used for portraiture into a camera you intend to use for street photography.
This was from a test roll of black and white film shot on the weekend before the one under, offered without captions. It was loaded into the camera in September, but I never got around to using it until October (hence the light leaks, because I forgot it was in the camera and opened the film door).
5% Saturday 1st / 90% Sunday 2nd October 2016.
