The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. The word acropolis is from the Greek words ἄκρον (akron, "highest point, extremity") and πόλις (polis, "city"). The term acropolis is generic and there are many other acropoleis in Greece. During ancient times the Acropolis of Athens was known also more properly as Cecropia, after the legendary serpent-man, Cecrops, the supposed first Athenian king.
Pyramid of the Sun.
The name Pyramid of the Sun comes from the Aztecs, who visited the city of Teotihuacán centuries after it was abandoned; the name given to the pyramid by the Teotihuacanos is unknown. It was constructed in two phases. The first construction stage, around 100 A.D., brought the pyramid to nearly the size it is today. The second round of construction resulted in its completed size of 733 feet (225 meters) across and 246 feet (75 meters) high, making it the third largest pyramid in the world, being slightly smaller than Great Pyramid of Giza (230 meters), but much smaller than the Great Pyramid of Cholula (450 meters). The second phase also saw the construction of an altar atop of the pyramid, which has not survived into modern times.
Fox squirrels on a damp day at the beginning of Winter Term 2023. Taken at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday January 6th, 2023. I missed a few of the really tough mange cases on Wednesday, but luckily I saw my patients on Friday. I saw Max Power (by the Michigan League) and there is progress. I saw two very bald squirrels on the Diag - so they are named Hatcher (with the scab) and Harlin. Mange has been very bad this year - practically every squirrel has a patch or so. If there was a red mark on the skin - that meant they were scratching. I think I will make Wednesday my main medicine distribution day - so I do not give any of the squirrels too much Ivermectin. Hopefully we will get these squirrels on their way to healthy living soon. Many squirrels will share a nest and that is how mange will spread. I also saw a red squirrel over by Lorch - used my big lens for that little one! Wishing you joy, health and peace wherever you are.

ShowPDX: A Decade of Portland Furniture Design
October 31, 2014 – Jan 31, 2015
ShowPDX Innovative + Functional Furniture Design is a biennial exhibit presented by fix studio. Show2014 displays over 60 examples of unusual and stimulating furniture design while providing designers/fabricators/makers with a place and resource for peer and public recognition, support and dialogue.
In 2001, small group exhibits by local designers and fabricators inspired the birth of a regular venue for furniture design in Portland. Created by designers Jennifer Jako and Christopher Bleiler of fix studio, Show2002 was the first of its kind in Portland. The exhibit was a curated show of furniture design, featuring local designers, fabricators, and makers. Through the spirit and support of the ShowPDX curatorial group, Show2014 continues to fuel collaboration, inspire students, create dialog amongst colleagues, promote business and inspire events by other independent designers and regional designers at locations across the country.
In October, Show2014 opens to the public. ShowPDX: A Decade of Portland Furniture Design at Museum of Contemporary Craft is the first retrospective of this landmark, juried invitational. The exhibition will bring together ten-years of ShowPDX, showcasing the evolution of furniture design in Portland.

In just ten minutes you have the short route over the Atlantic, overcome with the ferry. The sea was calm and the weather was beautiful. Iona is a small island that has been seen quickly but can never get enough. Fine sand and coarse rocks alternate and appear together in the cold blue sea

Este ejercicio ha sido difícil, más que ningún otro de l'Atelier. No me gusta salir en las fotos, mis poses siempre son forzadas o eso me parece. Además no me gusta que el color de mi piel no sea homogéneo, tengo infinidad de lunares, pecas, manchas... así que he estado jugando con el blanco y negro.
El resultado ha sido mejor de lo esperado, pero no me acaba de convencer ni la luz (no utilicé pantalla para que rebotase la luz), ni el color de fondo (color tierra). Pero es que no voy a tener tiempo de repetir el ejercicio, estos días es una locura para intentar cerrarlo todo en el trabajo y poderme ir de vacaciones unos días a Menorca. Qué ganas tengo!!!
Y por último, solo para informaros usé autodisparador y una escalera (ya la utilicé para otros usos en el ejercicio de Still Life) a modo de trípode. Y además me he pasado al modo manual definitivamente!!!
Ahora que la veo aquí igual la recorté un poco demasiado. Pero me gusta como salió la mirada, así que no es la mejor pero es la que más me gusta!
Espero vuestros comentarios, adelante!
