This monochrome image is another long exposure view from the beach at Sango Sands, Durness. The white halo around the pyramid is sea spray. It was breezy when we arrived, and as the afternoon tide ebbed, the wind and sea increased in intensity. Just spectacular.
Sango Sands Beach is a small sandy cove with scattered rocky outcrops that is a photographer's paradise as the tide recedes, exposing more and more rocks further down the beach. This image gives a pleasing effect with the wash of the waves up and down this part of the beach.
Durness (Scottish Gaelic: Diùranais) is a village and civil parish in the north-west Highlands of Scotland. It lies on the north coast of the country in the traditional county of Sutherland around 190 km north of Inverness. The area is remote and the parish is huge and sparsely populated covering an area from east of Loch Eriboll to Cape Wrath, the most north-westerly point of the Scottish mainland.
I don't really have a story or a description really for this. I was inspired by the work of Ayerlego and Patrick Massey who both have made fantastic Meso-American related mocs.
I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out. It mostly started out as a normal pyramid, but then made it a more ruined one since that looked better imo. I also tried out building normal brick built trees since I didn't think the usual travis brick ones would fit with the style of this.
On a side note I still have numerous ideas on the table for future mocs, but I've been busy with other stuff atm.
Nettoyage et chlorage des bassins : mais interdit de se baigner !
Pour éviter la formation de la mousse, j'ai demandé au monsieur.
Le "truc" doré à l'intérieur de la pyramide c'est une oeuvre d'art (ici vue de l'arrière ) d'un artiste japonais, Kohei Nawa : "Throne". Je n'ai pas pu la voir en entier, c'était mardi dernier, jour de fermeture du Louvre. www.telerama.fr/sortir/quel-est-ce-mysterieux-throne-dor-...
That's an unknown peak in the Lahaul-Spiti himalayas. This particular view resembled to me like the pyramid photos I have seen over the web. Do you get similar vibes out of this?
The Pyramid of Austerlitz in the Netherlands, which was built in the early 1800s to commemorate the battle of Austerlitz.
Ya, Chinese New Year is coming! Of course, this is the best excuse for our girls to shopping shopping and shopping. Almost all the shopping centre i did go this few weeks! Sunway Pyramid, One Utama, Mid Valley, Pavilion.. except for Sungei Wang, Time Square ,The garden.

While making this photo, I was reminded of the Kipling poem "The Betrothed," about a man whose fiancée gives him an ultimatum: he must choose between her and his beloved cigars. He spends the whole poem debating the relative merits of each, uttering the famous line: "And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a Smoke." That, of course, was written in another era with different sensibilities. Today, a guy could have his Nobel Prize for Literature revoked for publishing stuff like that. (And the sexism wouldn't go over too well either...)
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.
The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a large glass and metal pyramid designed by Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei. Located in the main courtyard of the Louvre Palace, it serves as the main entrance to the museum. Completed in 1989, it has become a landmark of the city of Paris.
Small clock in pyramidal marble case photographed on a mirror before a black velvet background. Prism effect by mirror altered the reflected hue...which I kinda like.
So this farmer collected all the boulders in his field and used them to construct a 30x30x17m pyramid! I took nearly 300 25 second exposures at f/4 and IOS 1250 (while light painting the pyramid), and stacked them in StarStax to create this image. See also my Milky Way photo over the pyramid:

Anacamptis pyramidalis.
A lovely cycle ride out into the beautiful Kent Countryside and to The Beheading of St John the Baptist Church at Doddington with its award wining wildlife managed church yard famous for the wild flower meadow and Pyramidal Orchids, stunning......
Und obenauf eine kleine Pyramide...
El amarillo siempre ha sido un color muy alegre y amigable. Se irradia alegrÃa de vivir y fuerza y, por lo tanto, da felicidad a cualquiera que los vea. La "Rudbeckia" con su colo amarillo brillante y una pequeña pirámide encima hace que en cada jardÃn se vean caras sonrientes.
El amarillo también es el color de la envidia y, por lo tanto, sea cuidado, ...como un regalo de flores.
