The things you do for Flickr. I stood through two showers of rain to get this rainbow shot of the Otago Peninsula Pyramids ;-) These pyramids are old volcano vents made of basalt.
Got my friend standing there just to show how big it is. How come they put the bricks together with those tiny body sizes? Mmm..
This photo almost got all the Egyptian transportation methods. I am on a camel, but you can see the guy on the donkey that rode out to sell us water, a guy walking across the desert and near the pyramids a bus moving tourists.
The tall, vertically strung upright grand was arranged like a grand set on end, with the soundboard and bridges above the keys, and tuning pins below them. The term was later revived by many manufacturers for advertising purposes. "Giraffe pianos", "pyramid pianos" and "lyre pianos" were arranged in a somewhat similar fashion, using evocatively shaped cases. The very tall cabinet piano was introduced about 1805 and was built through the 1840s. It had strings arranged vertically on a continuous frame with bridges extended nearly to the floor, behind the keyboard and very large sticker action.

"Pyramid Lake is a reservoir formed by Pyramid Dam on Piru Creek in the eastern San Emigdio Mountains, near Castaic, Southern California. It is a part of the West Branch California Aqueduct, which is a part of the California State Water Project. Its water is fed by the system after being pumped up from the San Joaquin Valley and through the Tehachapi Mountains. The 386 foot tall earth and rock dam was built by the California Department of Water Resources" - wikipedia
An attractive looking orchid with dense spikes of pink or pale purple flowers, each with a long spur. The plant gets its name from the conical, or pyramid-shaped arrangement of these flowers. The flowers have no scent.
Orchids, like most things in nature, can be very unpredictable. One year you might see a whole carpet of flowers, while the following year there may be just a few blooms.
The reason is that the seed of the orchid does not contain enough nourishment to produce leaves and flowers. To make up for this the seed relies on fungus in the soil to provide the nourishment.
This underground fungus-root relationship can take several years to fully develop before the roots are ready to send up leaves and flowers.
