Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "So well wooded are certain areas that the forests of the "Gran Chaco" are said to contain sixty thousand square miles of timber. The forest-woods include the quebracho, the nundbay (acacia) lapacho (bignonia, red and white cedar, amarillo (mimosa) the palm-tree introduced by the Jesuits, poplar, willow, walnut, and the celebrated yerba mate, whose leaves make a stimulating tea. the valuable quebracho (break-axe) takes a hundred years to arrive at maturity. It is largely used in the making of railway sleepers, etc., and also provides an export trade of about a quarter million tons annually, mainly for tanning purposes. This wood bears so strong a resemblance to red marble that it is a difficult matter to distinguish between the two. § The (Gran Chaco", the northern division of the country, is singularly interesting. It is the home of hte native Indian tribes, and , in sharp contrast to the Mendozan area, its climate is tropical. Its fauna include the jaguar, the puma, wildcat, fox, tapir, many varieties of deer, and the alligator. The north is marshy, and the south covered with dense forests. The capital of the Chaco is Resistancia."

I loved how the light and reflections played off the street cars as I was driving through Bern, Switzerland. This photo was taken from the front seat of my car.

On our second day in Halifax for the Unison Choruses Festival, I started the day with a short walkabout in the downtown and waterfront prior to the start of the event as I had some time to kill before festival delegate registration began. There weren't any actual festival concerts until the evening, but I needed to connect with the organizers ahead of the busy days to come.

Nativity Scene
18th Century of Earlier (misattributed as 15th or 16th Century)
FILIPINO (misattributed as Northern French)
Ivory mounted on flat-back wooden panel. Original polychromy throughout.
Height 11.5 inches (29 cm), Width 7.25 inches (18.5 cm). Estimate $4,000-$6,000
A highly important ivory and wood Nativity Scene. The Holy Family is depicted sheltering in a woodshed with farm animals such as cows and donkeys. There is even an ivory angel inset on the roof (steeple) of the barn. An close inspection of the photograph indicates that the entire Holy Family scene including St. Joseph, the Virgin and the Christ child -- and even the animals in the manger -- are carved from ivory.
The whole seems to be of European origin until one looks closely at the eyes of the figures. Both St. Joseph and the Virgin have the slanted eyes that figure prominently on early pieces carved in the Philippines.
The strong probability that this piece was carved in the Philippines give strong support to the claim that the ivory and wood Pieta -- seen in an earlier upload -- is also of Philippine origin. They may not have come from the same hand but most definitely from the same workshop.
Lhassa Tibet
Le Barkhor était le lieu de circumambulation préféré des pèlerins et des habitants de Lhassa. Le parcours faisait un kilomètre de long autour du Jokhang.
