The pyramids of Menkaure and his three queens. The easternmost is the largest and a true pyramid. Its casing is partly of granite, like the main pyramid, and is believed to have been completed due to the limestone pyramidion found close by.
Happy Macro Monday everyone!
My submission this week is a macro shot of a small (about 3-4 cm base) glass pyramid ornament that we've had at home for ages mounted on a mirror with a black background and illuminated with natural window light.
This is the result of a focus stack of 14 images processed in Helicon Focus, followed by Photoshop to extend the background. Then Lightroom to straighten followed by Silver Efex Pro for a mono conversion. The resulting image was cleaned up (dust spot removal) in PS again before final tweaks and sharpening in Lightroom.

Outside the church [of the Holy Rude] is the Valley Cemetery. In past times was the site of jousting tournaments and markets. The Cemetery has a Pyramid, built by William Drummond in 1863. Quoted from the Ancient Egypt website.
I guess a lot of you will recognize the pyramids at The Louvre in Paris, France. This was taken on the first evening of my trip.
Another photo from Glacier National Park, not the usual view of Grinnell Point. After a short time spent in Banff, we headed back to Glacier hoping for better weather. It had been raining most of the afternoon and I was planning on shooting this mountain for sunset. Luckily I decided to just hang around outside and noticed a nice clearing in the sky and the mountain just looked amazing in the moody light. I grabbed my camera and tripod and ran around on this hill looking for interesting compositions. It was a good decision because sunset was all grayed out after taking these images.

2019 seems to have been the perfect growing conditions for this lovely wild orchid - I have seen so very many growing along the Sussex verges in places where they have not appeared before
I was fortunate to travel to Egypt with daughter and son-in-law to visit his family who are currently living in Cairo. What a trip! This shot was taken with my phone. Having been thrust full throttle back into the real world, I haven’t had a chance to go through the photos on my “real” camera.
The Bent Pyramid of Sneferu at Dahshur has a base length of 188 m (617 ft) and a height of 105 m (345 ft).
It's name refers to its appearance due to it having started off with a slope angle of 54° but was then reduced the angle to 43° at around 47 m (154 ft) from the top.
The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a large glass and metal pyramid designed by Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace.
The guys who were with their camels by the pyramids had obviously taught their camels how to look like they were kissing their "masters", Very clever indeed and of course, a great picture, but then I thought that I saw true affection too.
The energy pyramid is a pyramidal design intended for the accumulation (concentration) of a hypothetical anomalous (paranormal) spiritual (psychic) energy. It is also found in the new age and esoteric culture.
«Everything that we call invention, discovery in the highest sense, is an outward manifestation, the realization of the original sense of truth, which, having developed long ago in silence, unexpectedly, with lightning speed, leads to fruitful cognition. It is on external things from within a developing revelation that gives a person a premonition of his god-likeness. This is a synthesis of the world and spirit, giving the most blissful confidence in the eternal harmony of being.»

Taking pictures a tool (camera), not a photographer.
The choice of tool limits the possibilities.
Experience allows him (instrument) less and less to limit their capabilities.
The ability to see is given only when the observer allows ...
The moment of observation is the real find ...
Training and mastering it defies. Training leads to poor imitations of the original.
Often the result should ripen, like wine. Although time is the understanding of the mind, therefore it is very speculative.
The meaning of all this is the process!
Find someone who inspires shooting the camera!

Often we are visited by thoughts that may reveal something unknown ... Our mind many times tries to solve a problem with known methods ... This is its main mistake! The path of the heart opens the doors that appear in our path. It is a pity that not everyone has the courage to insert the keys that are always with us ...

1.Снимает инструмент (фотокамера),а не фотограф.
2.Выбор инструмента ограничивает возможности .
3.Опыт позволяет ему (инструменту )все меньше и меньше ограничивать свои возможности.
4.Возможность увидеть даётся только,когда наблюдатель позволяет...
5.Момент наблюдения и есть настоящая находка ...
6.Обучению и овладению это не поддаётся .Обучение приводит к плохим имитациям оригинала.
7.Часто результат должен вызреть,как вино.Хотя время -понятие ума ,потому -весьма умозрительное .
8.Смысл всего этого -сам процесс!
9.Быть !
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.

We all have things that are just hanging around. Things that were given to us or purchased by us and then mostly ignore. This was a gift from one of my brothers who passed away not long afterward. So I couldn't give it away.

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 :)

Teotihuacan is a vast Mexican archaeological complex northeast of Mexico City. Running down the middle of the site, which was once a flourishing pre-Columbian city, is the Avenue of the Dead. It links the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Pyramid of the Sun, the latter two with panoramic views from their summits. Artifacts in the Museum of Teotihuacan Culture, on-site, include pottery and bones.
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.
