RARE Idaho Rock Lobsters
This is one of the last ones known to exist. Unfortunately, he was boiled and eaten by a pair of hungry campers in 2012. His carcass was left in the desert to be consumed by mice. Please see the description of my album for additional details.

A 1988 Boeing 747-212(F) sporting Northwest Airlines colors. According to rzjets.net, this aircraft started out with The Boeing Company, then she went to Singapore Airlines, Southern Air Transport, and South African Airways before joining Northwest's fleet. Unless picked up by someone else SOON, she's due to retire at the end of the year when Northwest (or should I say Delta?) stops flying 747 cargo jets into Anchorage.

The town of Larantuka, East Flores, in 1995. It lies at the base of the extinct volcano Ile Mandiri.
The population of Larantuka is predominantly Catholic, the Catholicism being of Portuguese origin.
After visiting beautiful Larantuka for the first time in 1994 on a Renaissance Cruise ship I returned for an extended visit in 1995 to visit friends there and to take in the famous Easter celebrations.
Larantuka is famed for its annual Easter celebrations during Semana Santa--Holy Week, which have continued for more than 500 years, though temporarily interrupted by Covid.
Large numbers of visitors come from other parts of Flores, and from farther afield. There are a number of activities during Holy Week, but the high point is the Good Friday Procession, which begins with a service in the Cathedral at 7 pm followed by a procession through the town ending back at the Cathedral late at night. The participants carry candles, and the route is lined by bamboo fences on which candles are fixed.
This report requires verification:
"The central characters of the Easter ceremony in Larantuka are two statues that were brought to Larantuka in the 16th century by Portuguese missionaries. These statues of Jesus and the Virgin Mary are stored in two chapels, Capela Tua Ana and Capela Tuan Ma throughout the year. Only on Good Friday, the peak event of the Easter ceremony, are they taken out. Good Friday starts with the opening of Capela Tuan Ma for the people to come and pray at the Virgin Mary statue. In the morning, the statue of Jesus is also carried out from Capela Tuan Ana and brought to its counterpart, the Virgin Mary, in a boat procession of about seven kilometers."
The night of Good Friday is devoted to Mary, the mother of God. Her statue is taken out of the chapel in which it is kept, on Holy Thursday, is cleaned, bathed, and dressed in deep blue robes. It is taken to the Cathedral.
Before the evening procession families visit the cemetery to burn candles at the graves of their relatives.
The Procession through the town stops at eight stations around the town, mostly small chapels. At each, a woman dressed in blue sings a lamentation. She represents Veronica of legend, who mopped the brow of Jesus with her veil, which then became imprinted with the face of Christ.
The stations are not the traditional stations of the Cross but commemorate 1. God's promise to send his son for our salvation, 2. the birth of Jesus, 3. his life and work, 4. his arrest, 5. the sorrow of Mary, 6. sentence of death, 7. death on the cross, 8. his burial. The procession entering the Cathedral symbolises the triumph of the Cross.

The Carnegie Museum of Natural History celebrated Dinomite Days in honor of their revamping of the dinosaur exhibit and a bunch of these guys were strewn around town.
This particular guy is in honor of Pittsburgh's love for it's hometown ketchup vendor Heinz.
Just fooling around with Photoshop adjustment layers (thanks Matt!) and thought this was interesting enough to post, as well as a change of pace from all the architecture stuff I've been posting lately.
I really thought that the bleach bypass filter gave this guy a finish that looked like a Star Wars stormtrooper.

Fossiliferous limestone from the Cambrian of Sweden.
Trilobites are extinct marine arthropods. They first appear in Lower Cambrian rocks and the entire group went extinct at the end of the Permian. Trilobites had a calcitic exoskeleton and nonmineralizing parts underneath (legs, gills, gut, etc.). The calcite skeleton is most commonly preserved in the fossil record, although soft-part preservation is known in some trilobites (Ex: Burgess Shale and Hunsruck Slate). Trilobites had a head (cephalon), a body of many segments (thorax), and a tail (pygidium). Molts and carcasses usually fell apart quickly - most trilobite fossils are isolated parts of the head (cranidium and free cheeks), individual thoracic segments, or isolated pygidia. The name "trilobite" was introduced in 1771 by Johann Ernst Immanuel Walch and refers to the tripartite division of the trilobite body - it has a central axial lobe that runs longitudinally from the head to the tail, plus two side lobes (pleural lobes).
Well-preserved trilobites occur in Sweden’s Alum Shale Formation (Middle to Upper Cambrian). The limestone beds in this unit are often trilobite packstones. Seen here is an example with abundant sclerites of Olenus truncatus (Brünnich, 1781) and Olenus sp.

Giraffe. Pilanesberg Game Reserve. South Africa. Jan/2021
Giraffe
The giraffe (Giraffa) is a genus of African even-toed ungulate mammals, the tallest living terrestrial animals and the largest ruminants. The genus currently consists of one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, the type species. Seven other species are extinct, prehistoric species known from fossils. Taxonomic classifications of one to eight extant giraffe species have been described, based upon research into the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, as well as morphological measurements of Giraffa, but the IUCN currently recognises only one species with nine subspecies.
The giraffe's chief distinguishing characteristics are its extremely long neck and legs, its horn-like ossicones, and its distinctive coat patterns. It is classified under the family Giraffidae, along with its closest extant relative, the okapi. Its scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south, and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannahs and woodlands. Their food source is leaves, fruits and flowers of woody plants, primarily acacia species, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. They may be preyed on by lions, leopards, spotted hyenas and African wild dogs.

Girafa
A girafa é um gênero de mamíferos ungulados africanos, sendo os animais terrestres mais altos e os maiores ruminantes. O gênero atualmente consiste de uma espécie, Giraffa camelopardalis, a espécie-tipo. Sete outras espécies são espécies pré-históricas conhecidas de fósseis. Classificações taxonômicas de uma a oito espécies existentes de girafas foram descritas, baseadas em pesquisas com DNA nuclear e mitocondrial, bem como em medidas morfológicas de Giraffa, mas atualmente a IUCN reconhece apenas uma espécie com nove subespécies.
As principais características distintivas da girafa são seu pescoço e pernas extremamente longos, seus ossólones semelhantes a chifres e seus distintos padrões de pelagem. É classificada sob a família Giraffidae, junto com seu parente mais próximo, o okapi. Seu alcance disperso estende-se do Chade, no norte, até a África do Sul, no sul, e do Níger, no oeste, até a Somália, no leste. Girafas geralmente habitam savanas e bosques. Sua fonte de alimento são folhas, frutos e flores de plantas lenhosas, principalmente espécies de acácia. Eles podem ser predados por leões, leopardos, hienas dentre outros.

Pilanesberg Game Reserve
The Pilanesberg Game Reserve is located north of Rustenburg in North West Province in South Africa. The park borders with the entertainment complex Sun City. The park is currently administered by the North West Parks and Tourism Board.
The area is fringed by three concentric ridges or rings of hills, of which the formation rises from the surrounding plains. Pilanesberg is named after a Tswana chief, Pilane, the 'Pilanesberg Alkaline Ring Complex' is the park's primary geological feature. This vast circular geological feature is ancient even by geological standards as it is the crater of a long extinct volcano and the result of eruptions some 1,200 million years ago. It is one of the largest volcanic complexes of its type in the world, the rare rock types and formations make it a unique geological feature. A number of rare minerals occur in the park.
Scattered throughout the park are various sites that originate from the Iron Age and Stone Age and show the presence of man from those periods in these areas.
The park has an area of 572 square kilometres (221 sq mi). One can travel through in a standard road vehicle as although most of the 188 kilometres of track are not surfaced, they are well maintained.
The Pilanesberg is not in a location which the Big Five animals would naturally inhabit, however they have been brought into the 550 square kilometres of African bushland

A Reserva de Pilanesberg
A Reserva de Pilanesberg está localizada ao norte de Rustenburg, na Província Noroeste, na África do Sul. O parque faz fronteira com o complexo de entretenimento Sun City. O parque é atualmente administrado pelo North West Parks and Tourism Board.
A área é orlada por três cristas concêntricas ou anéis de colinas, das quais a formação se eleva das planícies circundantes. Pilanesberg é nomeado em homenagem a um chefe Tswana, Pilane, o 'complexo alcalino circular de Pilanesberg' é característica geológica primária do parque. Esta vasta característica geológica circular é antiga, mesmo para os padrões geológicos, pois é a cratera de um vulcão extinto e o resultado de erupções há cerca de 1.200 milhões de anos. É um dos maiores complexos vulcânicos do seu tipo no mundo, os raros tipos de rochas e formações fazem dele uma característica geológica única. Um número de minerais raros são encontrados no parque.
Espalhados por todo o parque estão vários locais que se originam da Idade do Ferro e da Idade da Pedra e mostram a presença do homem em tais períodos nessas áreas.
O parque tem uma área de 572 quilômetros quadrados (221 sq mi). Pode-se viajar através de um veículo normal, embora a maioria dos 188 quilômetros de estradas não sejam pavimentadas, elas estão bem conservados.
O Pilanesberg não é um local que os animais “Big Five” naturalmente habitam, no entanto, eles foram trazidos para os 550 quilômetros quadrados de mata nativa africana.
