ANSH117 #10 "A little world"
This is a collection of miniature garden gnomes I discovered on a walk around my neighborhood. It is rather heavily cropped due to my not noticing some not family friendly gnomes off to the left side until I started editing this.
Lincolnshire seemed to have a vague look of the Serengeti this evening. The ground is parched and it is hotter than it really ought to be. The evening sky absolutely came to life and lit up somehow reflecting what is happening in so many parts of the world right now. I have always loved the work of Ansel Adams, so to hear the fires are so close to Yosemite is troubling. What would he think of what we have done?

Today is World Giraffe Day, an annual event initiated by the Giraffe Conservation Foundation to celebrate the longest-necked animal on the longest day or night (depending on which hemisphere you live!) of the year – June 21st each year.
There is still only limited information available on giraffe in the wild – so little that we often refer to giraffe as ‘forgotten giants’.
Giraffe in the wild have been largely ignored and under-researched. This situation is slowly being addressed. With a few exceptions, giraffe are in decline throughout the continent and the need for a concerted conservation effort has never been more urgent.
There are four species of giraffes and nine subspecies listed below.
Masai giraffe (Giraffa tippelskirchi) 35,000
Northern giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) 5,600
Kordofan giraffe (G. c. antiquorum) 2,000
Nubian giraffe ( G. c. camelopardalis ) 3,000
West African giraffe (G. c. peralta) 600
Reticulated giraffe (Giraffa reticulata) 15,780
Southern giraffe ( Giraffa giraffa ) 54,750
Angolan giraffe (G. g. angolensis) 17,750
South African giraffe (G. g. giraffa) 37,000

Another handmade metal ornament from the Chinese company Ali Express. I love their things in this category.
Happy Saturday
beneath the bright expanse of glass, travelers move in silence, their mirrored selves etched into the floor below like shadows of another realm. in black and white, the moment becomes timeless, a meditation on waiting and becoming.
A view of a 1½-inch washer with severe etching and scarring and its surreal reflection in water. The frame represents a span of 1½-inches across.
I found this washer on the ground while out-and-about and was taken by all the scarring and etching it had endured; it looked as though it had traveled a thousand light years from another world.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights and a red LED flashlight. The speedlights were positioned at 8- and 4-o'clock, one foot above and two feet away from the washer. They were fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 power through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes.
The red LED was used to illuminate the background and for rim light and exposed for 1.6 s. A warm overhead room light contributed to the gold etching highlights within the washer and the orange hue to the red LED.
The SB900s were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D(AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).

"Orange The World (Stand Up for Women) by Marcharie"
Red stands for love
Yellow stands for knowledge
We stand up for girls
And paint the world orange
We're gonna stand up
Stand up for women
Women
All stand up
"I can walk, with you beside me
I can fall, with you to catch me
I can climb, with you beneath me
I can feel, your world inside me"

I really like alleyways like this, so of course I couldn't resist trying to take a picture here. We are in La Orotava and I took this shot in the early afternoon. I took advantage of the strong reflection of the sunlight from the row of houses opposite.

Science World at Telus World of Science, Vancouver is a science centre run by a not-for-profit organization in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is located at the end of False Creek, and features many permanent interactive exhibits and displays, as well as areas with varying topics throughout the years.
The building's former name, Science World, is still the name of the organization. The building's name change to the Telus World of Science became official on July 20, 2005 following a $9-million donation to the museum from Telus.[1] The official name of the science centre was subsequently changed to "Telus World of Science", although it is still routinely referred to as "Science World" by the public. Prior to the building being handed over to Science World by the City, it was referred to as Expo Centre during Expo 86. When Science World is operating inside the dome, it is referred to as Science World at Telus World of Science, and when it is out in the community it is simply Science World.
