The fingers of the character were almost 9 inches long. A fiberglass glove that the actor wore saw fabricated with mechanical linkages. The actor would operate the lower joints of the fingers and the linkages would in turn bend the upper finger joints. A cable and linkage was also used to move the thumb on the other side of the hand.
With our hands we achieve much. We grasp, we touch, we feel, we hurt, we love, we discover...... May your hands never offend, never cause harm or shame to another. May they always be instruments of regard, ready to mend, open to give and in time be a rich testament of your life......

This is so delightful , from Wikipedia
In the 13th century, worms were recognized in Europe as part of the category of reptiles that consisted of a miscellany of egg-laying creatures, including "snakes, various fantastic monsters, lizards, assorted amphibians", as recorded by Vincent of Beauvais in his Mirror of Nature.
18 months after the professional nostril pluck and still going strong. I thought nostril hairs were supposed to warm and filter the air, but some can do without them..
It is currently 38°C outside.
I am hibernating.
Ridiculous Australian summer! I know i'll regret saying this in a few months time, but i miss winter :|
ayer mismo, mario estaba sentado sin camisa, se me ocurrió ponerle la mano encima de su espalda, y graficar la idea de 2 generaciones, mi mano más antigua, sobre su espalda, más joven y tierna, por eso pensé: 2 generaciones y un relevo inminente.
Not at all ideal lighting with the sun getting low, again Enfuse comes to the (partial) rescue. I can't recall if it was this boulder or the next where the alarm I'd set went off -- it was an alarm to let us know we'd used half the time from when we left to when the sun would set (and local sunset would happen before that) so it was tine to start thinking about heading back.
This was the only one we with more than one or two glyphs on it. And the two on that hill were closest together we saw, most were spaced far apart with nothing on equally suitable boulders in between. If it hadn't been time to head back I'm sure we would have found many more than the seven we did, but it would have taken a while.
As far as the patterns, there's the wavy pattern on top/back -- this was just about down in a small wash (which must almost never have water in it), not sure if that has anything to do with it. ("If it's raining, do not stand here!") Or maybe this was a route to a spring at higher elevations? The hands are odd, as they appear to have 5 fingers and no thumb. But we'll come to an even stranger hand soon . . .
Technical details: Enfuse from multiple level adjustments of a single raw file. I also took an exposure bracketed set but was unhappy with one of the exposures, and was unhappy with the sharpness level in many of the exposures, likely motion blur -- I discovered the next morning that the lens' image stabilization was shut off. Argh.
Handbells like this were used to gain the attention of children as a school day began and throughout the day at lesson changes. Traditionally, the ringing of the bell was a signal for classes to assemble in the playground before an orderly entry to their classroom. This bell was used at North Berwick.
This is a wood handled copper alloy handbell. At some point it has been retuned - there is a circular hole in the side and a slot above the bell. The clapper is a brass ball cast onto a hooked iron rod.

his right hand actually caught on fire after taking this shot because of all the gas we had on our hands from burning other things...such as bees, wasps, ants, houses, people...haha, no houses or people...lol.
