These pyramid butterflyfish have a rare feeding habits among butterflyfish, as they use the thread-like teeth in their small mouths to eat plankton. Most butterflyfish survive by eating coral
I thought I finally had the pyramids, but these are the smaller ones further south. Gosh they’re not easy to spot from space! Still looking...
Je pensais avoir enfin trouvé LES Pyramides, mais non. Celles-ci sont plus au Sud. Pas facile à repérer depuis l'espace! La quête continue :)

A view from the northeastern area of Saqqara. Above the mud-brick and stone tombs of high officials in the foreground loom the pyramids of Teti, Userkaf, Djoser (the step-pryamid), and Unas, in order of increasing distance. Most are 5th and 6th Dynasty tombs of the 25th-23rd centuries BCE, as well as some earlier monuments.
Little brass pyramids brought back from Egypt many, many years ago!

Pyramid Lake is just North of the town of Jasper. My favourite part of the photo is the fresh sunlight highlighting the tips of the trees on the small island in the middle of this lake.

The Pyramid
James Rossant
1965 | Concrete
This concrete structure was designed by James Rossant for Lake Anne Village Center in 1965. It is a child-scaled seven feet tall, one foot per step, and is an integral part of the Village’s playground structure. Though it can be enjoyed by all from the outside, the inside of the Pyramid is only comfortably accessible by those who can fit within its confines. As such, it has become a focal point for children. From the outside, the Pyramid’s strong horizontal and vertical lines reflect the rectangular forms of Reston’s earliest architecture. From the inside, light slits illuminate the hollowed space and provide children with a drinking fountain and shade for refreshment. Since its creation, the Pyramid has proved to be the most popular single sculpture for children in the Village Center.

La pyramide du Louvre est une pyramide constituée de verre et de métal, située au milieu de la cour Napoléon du musée du Louvre à Paris. Elle abrite l'entrée principale du musée.
Commandée par François Mitterrand en 1983, la pyramide a été conçue par l'architecte sino-américain Ieoh Ming Pei. La structure métallique qui supporte le parement en verre est faite d'acier et d'aluminium et pèse 200 tonnes ; elle s'élève à 21,64 mètres sur une base carrée de 35,42 mètres de côté. Elle est recouverte de 603 losanges et de 70 triangles en verre et est la première grande construction à utiliser le verre feuilleté.

The small pyramid of Sahure at Abusir, a complex of 5th-Dynasty royal burials a few km north of Saqqara. In the foreground is the well-preserved pavement of its causeway leading up to the mortuary temple at the base of the pyramid. Pyramids of this era were far less ambitious than the 4th-dynasty tombs at Giza.
Old Kingdom, 5th Dynasty, 25th century BCE, Abusir.
