Yaxchilán, Structure 33
Yaxchilan is an ancient Maya city located on the bank of the Usumacinta River in what is now the state of Chiapas, Mexico. In the Late Classic Period, Yaxchilan was one of the most powerful Maya states along the course of the Usumacinta, with Piedras Negras as its major rival. Architectural styles in subordinate sites in the Usumacinta region demonstrate clear differences that mark a clear boundary between the two kingdoms.
Yaxchilan was a large center, important throughout the Classic era, and the dominant power of the Usumacinta River area. It dominated such smaller sites as Bonampak, and had a long rivalry with Piedras Negras and at least for a time with Tikal; it was a rival of Palenque, with which Yaxchilan warred in 654.
The site is particularly known for its well-preserved sculptured stone lintels set above the doorways of the main structures. These lintels, together with the stelae erected before the major buildings, contain hieroglyphic texts describing the dynastic history of the city.
Structure 33, in the Central Acropolis, has been described as a masterpiece in stone and was probably dedicated in 756 by Bird Jaguar IV. The structure overlooks the plaza and the river and would have been prominent to river traffic in the 8th century. It has plain lower walls with three doorways, each of the which supports a well preserved lintel (Yaxchilan Lintels 1 to 3). In the centre of the back wall of the structure, opposite the central doorway, is a niche containing the headless sculpture of a human figure, probably Bird Jaguar IV himself. The roof of the structure is largely intact, including a sloped roof supporting a frieze and a well preserved roof comb. There are niches in both the roof comb and the frieze, the niche in the roof comb contains the remains of a sculpted figure. Tennons on both roof sections once supported stucco decoration. Leading up to the front of Structure 33 from the plaza is a stairway, the top step of which is sculpted, this step is known as Hieroglyphic Stairway 2.

"Reflections"
STRUCTURES is a series of generative art pieces the explores the constructions of our world by taking photographs of man-made and natural structures and placing them into a new structure. This process semi-randomly fragments and rearranges the photographs into a grid of my design. I'll often run the images through this process several times, using various grid structures along the way.

This behemoth of a structure is a Roman Catholic Cathedral in Cologne, Germany. We got to tour this wonder while on our Viking River Cruise honeymoon. To think they began construction on this back in 1248! And then to think construction occurred on and off all the way up until 1880! That's around 600 years of on and off construction time for one structure! The United States would be lucky to have trees this old, let alone something made by man which is still used today! We were very fortunate to get to check this place out!
During WWII, Cologne Germany was almost completely leveled.......it's stated that 95% of the city was destroyed. Our tour guide explained that they removed most if not all of the stained glass and all holy relics from the cathedral to protect them during the war. The church was damaged fairly badly due to bombing of the nearby train station and bridges, but somehow it remained standing......and was nearly the ONLY structure left standing! Fighters on all sides used the cathedral as a reference point since it could be easily seen from far away. Today, citizens in Cologne actually pay an extra tax to help maintain the structure, and according to our tour guide, most do so more than willingly with the desire to preserve this monument.

Details of a pigeon's wing as it balances on one of our feeders trying to get at some seeds. Primary and secondary wing feathers are clearly seen along with the covert feathers underneath. These are surprisingly delicate structures and it's not often we get the chance to get a good look at them like this
