Went hunting orchids on the South Downs last Saturday afternoon - my Father's present (lovely treat). The hot, dry weather had resulted in there being only one variety - the pretty pyramidal orchid.
It was a super afternoon and this was one of the best from the shoot
Lessons were learned during this mission, but I think it turned out well anyway. Sand courtesy of 'Nilla wafers and Kitchenaid.
Teotihuacan is one of the most famous and important sites of ancient Mexico, best known for it's enormous Avenue of the Dead and the great pyramids of the Sun and Moon.
Although the site was known in Aztec times as the 'Birthplace of the Gods' it is actually significantly older, with most of the major structures built between 100-250AD and the city, one of the largest ever ancient settlements in the Americas, was believed to have been still inhabited up to the 8th century.
Today the vast scale of the complex, particularly the so called Avenue of the Dead, nearly 3km long and flanked by ancient ruins and terraces, continues to awe visitors. At the north end of the Avenue sits the Pyramid of the Moon, whilst it's much larger counterpart, the Pyramid of the Sun, sits halfway up it's eastern side. At the southern end sits the Ciudadela complex which centres on the smaller pyramid of Quetzelcoatl, earlier and more ruined than the larger pyramids but retaining it's stunning original sculptural decoration on part of it's western face, featuring the iconic feathered serpent heads.
Aside from the great ceremonial structures there are also residential buildings, particularly the palatial complex at the north west corner that retains some vivid fragments of it's original mural decoration.

Commandée par le président de la République François Mitterrand en 1983, la pyramide a été conçue par l'architecte sino-américain Leoh Ming Pei. La structure, qui a été entièrement construite de segments de verre, s'élève à 20,6 mètres sur une base carrée de 35 mètres de côté. La pyramide est composée de 603 losanges et 70 triangles en verre. Elle a été inaugurée le 4 mars 1988 et ouverte au public le 1er avril 1989].
The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre), designed by I.M. Pei, is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) in Paris. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum.
This is the tallest pyramidal building in europe and it is aged about 10.000 b.c.
Several hundred of years were needed to built this pyramid and thousand of slaves were used.
It has no doors nor apertures.Its use is still unknown. Archeologists say that probably this building was used by ancient priests to study extra-terrestrial life.
How did ancients build this pyramid? This question has long been debated, but many think that the heavy stones were carried from far regions by the same teleporting system used to go inside and out of the building.
Many questions are still without an answer and a lot of studying is still needed.

These photos caputure the festivity of Dahi Handi (pot of curd), which is popular in Maharashtra to celebrate.Janmashtami, the birth day of Lord Krishna. In the month of August- September.
Krishna would love to eat butter and curd, this would be kept in pots hanging from the roof tops.
So as a child he and his friend would form a human pyramid (just like in the photos) to reach the pots and steal the butter. He would enter the houses of the many gopis and carry out his mischief. In spite of this he was loved by one and all.
There are many folk tales and songs spun around this story and are very popular all over India.
This is called Dahi Handi in Maharashtra, were people will tie the dahi handi along with some cash award. During the day various groups come and take the challenge by building mult-story human layers.
At the place were I took these photos the qualifying levels were seven human layers.
In the evening the qualified groups take the challenge of going even higher. At this place the max layers which were made was 9 human layer. This is believed to be a world record.
This pyramid shaped rock is how Nevada's Pyramid Lake gets it's name! The island is actualy a giant tufa formation! During low water levels, it's actualy connected to land, and can be reached by foot! You can easily reach it by boat or even swimming, but the island is too steep to climb! There is a smaller island, right next to it, that you can walk on! There is even a patch of sulfur on the otherside of the island that actualy steams, and makes the water boil when submerged!
