Spherical incense burner, Egypt or Syria, 1300s, brass, inlaid with silver and black compound. Possibly also used as hand-warmer. These were very much appreciated in the West.
using a lot of different lights here to set a reflection in some steel balls. i am digging the recursion where the spheres are touching.
We have Ruffed Grouse living on our property. They've been eating the berries on our cotoneaster shrubs. One night I went out and found four, all in a row, perched on the shrubs, eating the berries. This guy went from the shrub to the armillary and just posed for me so nicely, before continuing on. Taken through a window. Now that we have snow we see their tracks everywhere!
Textures: thanks to Flypaper, golden crotalo and Tim Jones.
Anish Kapoor's towering sculpture, "Tall Tree and the Eye", in the courtyard of The Royal Academy of Arts.
A work based on a photo I took last weekend. I wanted to communicate motion as well as beauty.
2 lights were used and triggered via Cyber Commander
AB800 into a 22" beauty-dish. Camera left there is another AB800, but this one is shooting into a small soft-strip with only the outer diffusion material in place.

A long time ago… in galaxies far far away, the first stars were born in the early universe. But when and how? That’s a mystery Webb is one step closer to solving.
Using Webb, researchers have found two early galaxies that are unusually bright, one of which could contain the most distant starlight ever seen. The galaxies are thought to have existed 350 and 450 million years after the big bang (respectively, from top to bottom). Unlike our Milky Way, these first galaxies are small and compact, with spherical or disk shapes rather than grand spirals.
Webb’s new findings suggest that the galaxies would have had to begin coming together about 100 million years after the big bang — meaning that the first stars might have started forming in such galaxies around that time, much earlier than expected.
Follow-up observations with Webb’s spectrographs will confirm the distances of these primordial galaxies and help us learn more about the earliest stars. More: www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2022/nasa-s-webb-draws-back-...

[Image description: Two vertically stacked views of galaxy cluster Abell 2744 as seen by the Webb telescope. Both views feature countless galaxies of all shapes and sizes speckling the black backdrop of space. Some are spiral, some more disk-shaped and others spherical. Farther galaxies are only seen as dots. Their colors include blue, pink, orange, and white. The view at the bottom is differentiated by bright white stars with long diffraction spikes, unseen in the view at the top. Towards the left of both views, there is a small white box highlighting a notable galaxy. These two tiny boxes have diagonal lines connecting them to close-ups of their contents, placed in much larger inset boxes on the right. The close-up box on the top, labeled as 1, shows a red dot along with some surrounding streaks of foreground galaxies. This red dot is a never-before-seen galaxy thought to have existed 350 million years after the big bang. The close-up box on the bottom, labeled as 2, shows a central red disk with a few other blurry and fuzzy foreground galaxies. This disk is another never-before-seen galaxy, this one thought to have existed 450 million years after the big bang.]
I haven't uploaded just a basic shot of Spaceship Earth in quite a while. There can never be too many pictures of SSE.
Thanks for looking. I appreciate feedback!
A concretion is a hard, compact mass formed by the precipitation of mineral cement within the spaces between particles, and is found in sedimentary rock or soil.[1] Concretions are often ovoid or spherical in shape, although irregular shapes also occur. The word 'concretion' is derived from the Latin concretio "(act of) compacting, condensing, congealing, uniting", itself from con meaning 'together' and crescere meaning "to grow".[2] Concretions form within layers of sedimentary strata that have already been deposited. They usually form early in the burial history of the sediment, before the rest of the sediment is hardened into rock. This concretionary cement often makes the concretion harder and more resistant to weathering than the host stratum. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concretion
Spectacular Lobby Caesars Palace Las Vegas Spherical 360°x360° Panorama - IMRAN™
There are few things in Las Vegas that do not try to be over the top ostentatious, or garish, or just blindingly bright and colorful. Caesars Palace has been a landmark for decades, and its lobby lives up to the name, the casino and the city it is based in. This handheld full 360°x360° spherical panorama was created from about 2 dozen handheld iPhone photos as I tried to time the clicks of EACH frame to ensure I did not have people close to me in each frame, That way the panorama could be as pure a view of the place as possible without crowds or blurry human bodies marring the view. This took me longer to shoot than a usual quick turning and click panorama shoot, but the breathtaking colors and detail are worth it. This image is actually a 20% of the original full sized image of 420MB! Since it was shot handheld and with less than perfect alignment from my turning in one spot, PhotoShop stitching shows some defects.

True Blue At 9/11 Memorial Freedom Tower View 360x360 Spherical Panorama SOOC - IMRAN™
Come along for a full 360x360 visit to the World Trade Center, and Freedom Tower, that was built where the WTC once stood. Everyone knows how the original World Trade Center, the twin towers, were like a personal symbol to me, even before I became an American citizen. As a Gemini twin I related to them doubly more. I had watched in horror as the towers had come crumbling down, as had world peace.
I still love visiting the memorial site though I have to admit, the new so-called WTC does nothing for me. I was even annoyed that the builders chose to make it smaller, shorter than the original towers instead of taller and even more imposing.
I wanted the new towers to tell the world, you cannot knock us down. Just like my personal attitude in life, no matter how many times you are knocked down, you have to rise up, taller, higher, more capable, more powerful than before.
Making the small generic looking tower for fear of it being a target again was cowardly and un-American in my opinion. But I still visit the area of my previous favorite memories.
This full 360x360 spherical panorama was created from around 2 dozen handheld photos I took with the Samsung Note8 my brother had given me as a gift a few years ago. The original photos, and the panorama colors and image details are SOOC, straight out of camera, with no editing.
The 600MB image was reduced to a 100MB TIFF, for real photo platforms like Flickr. For the crappy photo quality platforms like Facebook it will likely show up as a 2MB image. But it gives you a sense of the area, despite the repairs and construction always going on there.

The rectangular main prayer hall building is covered by a 45 meter diameter central spherical dome. The dome is supported by twelve round columns and the prayer hall lined by rectangular piers carrying four levels of balcony. Staircases at the corners of the building give access to all floors.
The main hall is reached through an entrance covered by a dome 10 meters in diameter. The interior design is minimalist, simple and clean cut, with minimal adornment of aluminium geometric ornaments.

I've never seen these before. In this post-drought year, all sorts of strange flowers are appearing.

Enjoy another 360° view as if you are standing next to me. Another gorgeous dusk at my blessed home in Long Island, on Thanksgiving weekend Sunday, 2016. Cerated from 66 unedited iPhone 7+ photos combined in Photoshop. There was a gap between taking some of the photos so the white balance and coloring changed a lot between the dusk and the boardwalk boards pictures. It would have taken too long to match up the colors so you will notice the imperfect color matching in the lower part of this view.
