[PT] Entre ruas, sombras e ficções
Contemplo ruas, pessoas e pedras, entre ficções e esquecimentos, inspirado no poeta, talvez, percebo as sombras dos gestos de outros, a poesia do crepúsculo, um desassossego.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de não sei quê, sombras de gestos feitos por outrem, efeitos encarnados, consequências que sentem.” (Fernando Pessoa, Livro do Desassossego, v.164)
[ES] Entre calles, sombras y ficciones
Contemplo calles, personas y piedras, entre ficciones y olvidos, inspirado en el poeta, quizás, percibo las sombras de los gestos de otros, la poesía del crepúsculo, una inquietud.
“...todos somos igualmente derivados de no sé qué, sombras de gestos hechos por otra persona, efectos encarnados, consecuencias que sienten.” (Fernando Pessoa, Libro del desasosiego, v.164)
[ENG] Between streets, shadows and fictions
I contemplate streets, people and stones, between fictions and oblivion, inspired by the poet, perhaps, I perceive the shadows of the gestures of others, the poetry of twilight, a restlessness.
“...we are all equally derived from I don't know what, shadows of gestures made by someone else, embodied effects, consequences they feel.” (Fernando Pessoa, Book of Disquiet, v.164)

Scene of a Razorbeak Strider cavalry rider, sent out into the Dunelands to cull the numbers of the fearsome desert basilisks.
Built for the "Beast Masters" category of the 2024 Summer Joust
And shout out to choopyjups for his recent post of his mechanical ostrich cavalry. As I commented there, I was making steampunk versions of an ostrich walker, but decided to make this organic version for the Summer Joust, to help them kick off this year's contest in style.

Here's a shot from the archive of my long term Montanan pal Mike. He's not a great one for heights so I guess the cloud that had engulfed the ridge made him feel a little more at ease.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Timing was key, a full stride was the only way to capture this young woman and her unique style. Enjoy!
Striding Lion, a wall relief made from polychrome glazed, fired bricks, is one of the most iconic objects on display at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto. It came from Babylon, Iraq, and dates to the time of Nebuchadnezzar II (605-562 BCE), king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Striding Lion is one of many such reliefs that decorated the walls of the palace's ceremonial hall and very similar to the lions that line the processional way from the Ishtar Gate to the temple of Marduk.

Common Name: Water Strider, Water Bugs, Water Skaters, Jesus Bugs. [Wikipedia]
These tiny, long-legged bugs can transfer their body weight to accommodate their ability to walk on water.
The Blacksmith's Plover was one of the more common birds we encountered on our Safari. They occupy grasslands, often closely water and I believe were seen in all of the parks we visited. This particular one was photographed in the Amboseli Nature Reserve which incidentally was where we came across the largest variety of birdlife.
The bird is also known as a Blacksmith's Lapwing. Apparently it gains its name from the repeated metallic 'tink, tink, tink' alarm call, which suggests a blacksmith's hammer striking an anvil.
