Menkaure's Pyramid, located on the Giza Plateau on the southwestern outskirts of Cairo, Egypt, is the smallest of the three Pyramids of Giza. It was built to serve as the tomb of the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Menkaure.
TOPIC: ILLUSION
After researching artists such as Victor Vasarely to improve my understanding of illusion and pattern, I looked at the artist Yakov Agam, my inspiration for the 3D grid. Made from card nets, the grid was arranged so that the red spiral formed amongst the other faces of the square based pyramid to give a subtle illusion.
Detail of the west face of the Bent Pyramid with the pyramid's second, western entrance seen ta the centre of shot. The Bent Pyramid is unique amongst those of the Old Kingdom in having 2 entrances. Whilst there is no obvious ritual reason for this feature, it has been speculated that this was a result of the same change in design as resulted in the change in the angle of ascent, that gives rise to its distinctive "bent" shape. Needless to say, this entrance is not accessible.
The best so far, in that the pattern is the right way up and no selvedge is showing. I must concentrate on these things!!
Pyramids on top of the Zeckendorf Towers apartment building on 14th Street and the top of the Empire State Building. I'm getting more and more impressed with the image stabilization system on my new Panasonic camera. This was shot hand-held at full telephoto from Astor Place.
Compiled from one of my Pyramid pictures, a P&S picture of a co-worker, and some creative and meticulous text formatting. This was a practice photo for Myk. I will upload that one when it is done.
Finished around 2510 BC, this was built as a tomb for the kin Menkaure, who was the son of Khafre and the grandson of Khufu, who built the other two main Pyramids of Giza.
It's much smaller than the other two, and used to have a casing of white limestone, with the bottom 16 rows made of red granite -- so it would have looked like a "stripe" along the bottom.
In the 12th Century, al-Malek al-Aziz Othman ben Yusuf tried to dismantle it, but it was far too difficult and expensive. Blacks that tumbled to the bottom would become buried in sand. Eventually he gave up, leaving a "scar" along one side.
Designed by the architect Ieoh Ming Pei, the Pyramid is the main entrance to the Louvre museum.
The Louvre is one of the world's largest museums ... and the most visited art museum in the world. It is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in Paris' 1st arrondissement.
Pyramidal Orchids have well and truly boomed in my corner of MK in recent years. Going back to 2016 I only knew of a handful of them here but this year I've found 51 so far, 44 of which have been in one single meadow and a few others around roadside verges, like this one I found last Thursday.

The people of Ancient Egypt believed that death on Earth was the start of a journey to the next world. The embalmed body of the King was entombed underneath or within the pyramid to protect it and allow his transformation and ascension to the after life.
