On my recent trip to holland, I came across these flats in Rotterdam that are built in a cube pattern with walls that lay at 45 degrees.
It is said that if you gaze at the sunset and squint just so you can see Mount Olympus - home to the entire pantheon of Greek gods. Trying to achieve this so called 'Golden Squint' has led many a scholar to his doom but this lady seems to have nailed it without really trying. I wonder what she can see up there?

The little sunlight we had was getting in my eyes causing me to squint. Not a hood look lol.
Heading of to my shift as observer, hopefully it's a quiet day I could do with sitting around doing nothing.
If you dont look too hard... well you know. Big girls pull by an ex BN nee GN #518. The little green guy will be shipped out the next day for other points on the ILSX grid. Was pretty neat seeing the two schemes next to each other.
Trying to take a selfie with Danielle in Curaçao and I couldn't figure out if I needed the flash with the regular camera
There was a brief respite from all the rain we have had a couple of days ago.
I made the most of the respite heading out along the seafront with the camera. There were plenty of other people about & lots of dogs too.
This dog was paying close attention to something along the seafront. He was trying to focus on someone in the distance, but I don't know if he was a bit short sighted from the way he was squinting.
just an old pic i'm playing w/. this is one of my kiddos outside at recess. they were playing some sort of game where the crate was safe or something. since i'm addicted to this whole texture thing, i thought i'd re-do some oldies. :) cute kid, huh?

Squint, means to look with the eyes partly closed. It may also refer to:
Squint, a commonly used alternative name for the medical condition, strabismus.
or
Squint, an alternative name for a hagioscope, in architecture.
A hagioscope or squint, in architecture, is an opening through the wall of a church in an oblique direction, to enable the worshippers in the transepts or other parts of the church, from which the altar was not visible, to see the elevation of the host.
Hagioscopes were also sometimes known as "leper windows" wherein a squint was made in an external wall so that lepers and other non-desirables could see the service without coming into contact with the rest of the populace.
Bridgetown, Barbados shot for the set I am doing with the Jupiter 11 4/135 vintage russian lens.

Although Mickie is almost completely blind, she makes remarkable drawings while squinting, with her cheek pressed right up against the paper.
I probably ruined my sister’s bridal party photos by squinting in every single shot. The photographer had the bride and her attendants pose in the middle of an open, golden field in direct sunlight. I’m sure the light was lovely for photographs, but my eyes just couldn’t bear it. If only we could have all worn matching sunglasses.
For my outfit photos, I have no one to please but myself, so I can stand in the shade and wear dark glasses.
Vest, AC-3998 (cut from a thrifted jacket). Shirt, Disney. Skirt, Carole Little (thrifted). Boots, Vince Camuto (consignment). Sunglasses, Coco Sunglasses. Earrings, vintage. Bag, Aldo.
I try to avoid the squints without sunglasses by posing under cover and looking at the ground, but I still look pained by sunlight.
Male anhinga, also known as a "snake bird" because when it swims with just its head and neck out of the water, it resembles a snake swimming (at least if you kinda squint). Captured at the Viera Wetlands near Melbourne, FL on February 16, 2018. Here, the anhinga is drying its wings after a recent swim in the water. They need to do that because their feathers do not repel water, which enables them to swim easily underwater and catch their favorite food: fish.
Thanks for viewing and great light to you in 2018!
