Not sure how a catfish head ended up in the water. Perhaps an Osprey dropped it. The Tern picked it and carried it for about 50 yards before deciding the head was too big to swallow, and dropped it.

There is a whole variety of believers. Whosoever comes to these desolate mountains couldn't be exactly ambitious, at least not over worldly matters, and one can be sure life is hard here.

PS
Sanyu was nicknamed the Modigliani/ Matisse of the East. He came from a wealthy family having been taught Chinese poetry and ink painting by one of the Emporer's scholarly advisors in his youth. He studied arts in Japan for a couple of years before turning to Paris in his early 20's. Instead of attending any of the academies there, he chose to hang around saloons. He extended many of the aesthetic formalities of both of the East and the West, since he painted only from his heart and soul. He blended the styles from both the West and the East very uniquely, in subjects, materials or treatments. Other than expressionist exaggerations , he is also a great master of minimalism, keen to capture the very essence of the substances with a few symbolic strokes. His paintings are well received both in the East and the West. For a long time, his paintings are fetching a very high price. He is the only Chinese painter who had essentially integrated into or even pioneered Western painting albeit with things which could be traced back to his background. In his later years, having squandered all his money away, he became extremely poor...

“Too lazy to be ambitious,
I let the world take care of itself.
Ten days' worth of rice in my bag; a bundle of twigs by the fireplace.
Why chatter about delusion and enlightenment?
Listening to the night rain on my roof,I sit comfortably, with both legs stretched out.”

ambitious: having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed.
The second installment of my Series, which rather than focusing on CURRENT students, it is instead meant to focus on students after their time in Hogwarts. Our next subject, Alaric Vos, Slytherin. The Half-Veela son of a wealthy and affluent pureblooded wizard who ventured outside of his marriage to secure an heir. Raised in a rather abusive household, Alaric worked hard to become a great wizard to ensure his independence and ability to protect himself from twisted expectations of the Vos family. With a love for potions, Alaric focuses his time and talents in front of the cauldron working on healing potions that he hopes will bring great benefits to the wixen world.
Thanks to my friend Alaric for letting me use him!

With everything she does she melts your heart.
She is sweet and secretive,
and the next moment luring and wanton,
then she is funny, playful, spontaneous
and from one breath to another she gets sad
and concerned, or exhausted and worried.
Sometimes she sighs and moans at once,
smirks, jumps, and then she squirms,
pulls and pushes your buttons.
With her you never know what happens next.
She is unpredictable, moody, ambitious and curious, adventurous, lascivious, innocuous, adorable aggressive and sullen silent from here and there.
And every day a new shade of her personality unfolds in front of your
loving eyes and with every day more you fear even an infinitude of time would be too short to see everything from her, every idea, desire, every thought and mood, and you wish the day would have many more hours, and every year many more days to be able to love her to the fullest extent possible, for every part of her deserves at least to be fully loved once all alone.

Every ambitious photographer wants to take this picture. But it takes some weather luck and the right technique. And you have to get to New York first. Sony Alpha 7C, Tamron 1:2,8/24mm, ND64 filter, mini-tripod, processed in Adobe Lightroom.
The daily cat photo was a difficult task again today. Cleo thought she had posed enough ýesterday, Sethi fled the scene as soon as he saw the camera, Filou is sick and not really in the mood for photos and Fynn was busy digging a hole between my tomato plants (the ambitious goal is to build a tunnel which is supposed to lead right into the garden of the rabbits). I was almost ready to give up when I found Tofu (or at least one eye of him) but I had the strange feeling that he wasn't super excited to see me and my camera either.
Florence Cathedral, formally the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore, is the cathedral of Florence, Italy. It was begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to a design of Arnolfo di Cambio and was structurally completed by 1436, with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi. The exterior of the basilica is faced with polychrome marble panels in various shades of green and pink, bordered by white, and has an elaborate 19th-century Gothic Revival façade by Emilio De Fabris.
The cathedral complex, in Piazza del Duomo, includes the Baptistery and Giotto's Campanile. These three buildings are part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering the historic centre of Florence and are a major tourist attraction of Tuscany. The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until the development of new structural materials in the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.
The cathedral is the mother church of the Archdiocese of Florence, whose archbishop is Giuseppe Betori.
Santa Maria del Fiore was built on the site of Florence's second cathedral dedicated to Saint Reparata; the first was the Basilica di San Lorenzo di Firenze, the first building of which was consecrated as a church in 393 by St. Ambrose of Milan. The ancient structure, founded in the early 5th century and having undergone many repairs, was crumbling with age, according to the 14th-century Nuova Cronica of Giovanni Villani, and was no longer large enough to serve the growing population of the city. Other major Tuscan cities had undertaken ambitious reconstructions of their cathedrals during the Late Medieval period, such as Pisa and particularly Siena where the enormous proposed extensions were never completed.
City council approved the design of Arnolfo di Cambio for the new church in 1294. Di Cambio was also architect of the church of Santa Croce and the Palazzo Vecchio. He designed three wide naves ending under the octagonal dome, with the middle nave covering the area of Santa Reparata. The first stone was laid on 9 September 1296, by Cardinal Valeriana, the first papal legate ever sent to Florence. The building of this vast project was to last 140 years; Arnolfo's plan for the eastern end, although maintained in concept, was greatly expanded in size.
After Arnolfo died in 1302, work on the cathedral slowed for almost 50 years. When the relics of Saint Zenobius were discovered in 1330 in Santa Reparata, the project gained a new impetus. In 1331, the Arte della Lana, the guild of wool merchants, took over patronage for the construction of the cathedral and in 1334 appointed Giotto to oversee the work. Assisted by Andrea Pisano, Giotto continued di Cambio's design. His major accomplishment was the building of the campanile. When Giotto died on 8 January 1337, Andrea Pisano continued the building until work was halted due to the Black Death in 1348.
The Duomo, as if completed, in a fresco by Andrea di Bonaiuto, painted in the 1360s, before the commencement of the dome
In 1349, work resumed on the cathedral under a series of architects, starting with Francesco Talenti, who finished the campanile and enlarged the overall project to include the apse and the side chapels. In 1359, Talenti was succeeded by Giovanni di Lapo Ghini (1360–1369) who divided the centre nave in four square bays. Other architects were Alberto Arnoldi, Giovanni d'Ambrogio, Neri di Fioravanti and Andrea Orcagna. By 1375, the old church Santa Reparata was pulled down. The nave was finished by 1380, and only the dome remained incomplete until 1418.
On 19 August 1418,[8] the Arte della Lana announced an architectural design competition for erecting Neri's dome. The two main competitors were two master goldsmiths, Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi, the latter of whom was supported by Cosimo de Medici. Ghiberti had been the winner of a competition for a pair of bronze doors for the Baptistery in 1401 and lifelong competition between the two remained sharp. Brunelleschi won and received the commission.
Ghiberti, appointed coadjutor, drew a salary equal to Brunelleschi's and, though neither was awarded the announced prize of 200 florins, was promised equal credit, although he spent most of his time on other projects. When Brunelleschi became ill, or feigned illness, the project was briefly in the hands of Ghiberti. But Ghiberti soon had to admit that the whole project was beyond him. In 1423, Brunelleschi was back in charge and took over sole responsibility.
Work on the dome began in 1420 and finished in 1436. The cathedral was consecrated by Pope Eugene IV on 25 March 1436, (the first day of the year according to the Florentine calendar). It was the first 'octagonal' dome in history to be built without a temporary wooden supporting frame. It was one of the most impressive projects of the Renaissance. During the consecration in 1436, Guillaume Dufay's motet Nuper rosarum flores was performed.
The decoration of the exterior of the cathedral, begun in the 14th century, was not completed until 1887, when the polychrome marble façade was completed with the design of Emilio De Fabris. The floor of the church was relaid in marble tiles in the 16th century.
The exterior walls are faced in alternate vertical and horizontal bands of polychrome marble from Carrara (white), Prato (green), Siena (red), Lavenza and a few other places. These marble bands had to repeat the already existing bands on the walls of the earlier adjacent baptistery the Battistero di San Giovanni and Giotto's Bell Tower. There are two side doors: the Doors of the Canonici (south side) and the Door of the Mandorla (north side) with sculptures by Nanni di Banco, Donatello, and Jacopo della Quercia. The six side windows, notable for their delicate tracery and ornaments, are separated by pilasters. Only the four windows closest to the transept admit light; the other two are merely ornamental. The clerestory windows are round, a common feature in Italian Gothic.

Professor Huxley (nickname: Mr. Bone), an award-winning palaeontologist, was puzzled. This morning, he had finally received the intercostal clavicle ("Why is it always this bone that arrives last?", he mused), the final piece and missing link that would complete his most ambitious project to date, the construction of a Quetzalcoatlus skeleton, the largest pterosaur of them all. After unpacking, he had carefully placed it on his work table, right next to the shrivelled daylily petal. Now both were gone. Did his fox terrier, George, steal it to bury it in the garden? Bones are bones, and dogs will be dogs, after all. Or did Susan play yet another prank on him? Or maybe George and Susan together. The two of them together were unpredictable. As much as he loved his wife for her unconventional ways and her devil-may-care attitude, sometimes he thought, "When will she grow up?"
As he looked for the shovel, ready to head out for yet another bone-digging spree in the garden, he heard a strange, rustling, crunching sound from his lab. "George!" he called. "Come here, you know you aren't allowed in the lab. Susan? Are you there, too?" The crunching and rustling got louder. It now reminded him of the sound the bones made when he put them together. And there was another sound... of ... wings? Wings that rustled like shrivelled petals. A slight panic set in as David headed for the lab door. When he opened it, he couldn't believe his eyes. The Quetzalcoatlus Hemerocallis was born.
This story casually continues "Bringing Up Baby", the 1938 prototype screwball comedy movie starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Skippy (best known for his role "Asta"). I first watched this movie as a child, and I've always loved it. It's true, the standards for "acting animals" left a lot to be desired back then (well, the standards for the stars that were literally "owned" by the studios left a lot to be desired as well), but it's still an all-time classic with two of the best and most iconic actors ever. And it has Skippy, the fox terrier :)
So, what you see isn't the head of an accidentally created and mutated baby Quetzalcoatlus-Hemerocallis hybrid creature (who knows what its size will be once it's grown up?), but the completely dried pistil of a single lily petal. It's been on my photo table for a while, kept for a photo project (of course). When I arranged it on the black tile, the still brightly orange pollen/microsporangium went everywhere, and a few of them ended up on this unlikely creature's "face". Manual focusing with the Laowa 50mm Ultra Macro Lens proved to be difficult, so I mounted the extension tubes and the Nisi close-up lens on my 60 mm macro lens and benefited from its autofocus.
I did in-camera focus stacking, and this time, the in-camera stacked final JPG was good enough, so I didn't need to do "post-stacking" in Helicon Focus.

In April 2014, the new City Hall Kristallen in Lund was inaugurated with a ceremony for the 500 employees who then moved in in May. The crystal houses several of the municipality's administrations with its total of 500 workplaces on approximately 11,000 square meters of office space. The building has an ambitious environmental profile with environmentally friendly materials and an advanced energy concept. Creative solutions allow the surface to be utilized in an efficient and flexible way.
Senab acted as interior supplier and in close cooperation with the architect and customer we delivered furniture according to the wishes of Lund municipality. Through their choice of furniture, colors, materials and lighting, they strived to create a welcoming municipal hall and a pleasant environment for both employees and visitors. "One should be proud to work in the Crystal and be happy to visit the Crystal."
Senab Interior supplied office furniture, conference room and restaurant furniture as well as furniture for public areas. This is the single largest project that the Senab Syd business area has delivered. In addition to the furniture delivery itself, Senab also handled logistics and assembly.

De Coops molen, te Winkelshoek (Zelhem)
In 1818 laat Derk Coops een nieuwe molen bouwen aan de Wiekenweg. Deze grote stenen molen overtreft in alles de oude houten standerdmolen, waar Coops na onenigheid met de eigenaar vertrokken is. De nieuwe molen heeft een uitzonderlijk model en is een toonbeeld van eigentijds metselaarsvakmanschap. Het model is afwijkend vanwege het cilindrische ondergedeelte en de conische bovenkant. De muren zijn zo’n tachtig centimeter dik. Derk Coops had grootse plannen met zijn bedrijf, want met twee en later drie koppels maalstenen had hij een aanzienlijke capaciteit. Geen tijdelijke windstilte zou hem er nog van weerhouden om zijn meel aan de man te brengen.

In 1818, Derk Coops commissioned the construction of a new mill on Wiekenweg. This large stone mill surpassed the old wooden post mill in every way, which Coops had abandoned after a disagreement with the owner. The new mill has an exceptional design and is a prime example of contemporary masonry craftsmanship. Its design is distinctive because of its cylindrical base and conical top. The walls are approximately eighty centimeters thick. Derk Coops had ambitious plans for his business, as with two and later three pairs of millstones, he had considerable capacity. No temporary lull would stop him from selling his flour.

Ambition - a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.
Endless rain and darkness spoiled my plan. And I had no more ambitious plan than photographing a bar or shop at night, from the street. But on the street you'd be blown away in a gale and drenched in seconds.
Back to the station then, to take this, after a conversation with a railway employee who came to tell me I couldn't use a flash... but really was just wondering what on earth I was doing. I wasn't really able to explain!

Royal Botanical Gardens developed as a concept in the 1920s under the City of Hamilton Board of Park Management, led by Thomas McQuesten. Initially the proposed botanical garden was to be located along the south shore of Cootes Paradise Marsh surrounding the Hamilton campus of McMaster University. The proposed botanical garden would also protect extensive natural areas along the marsh.
Formal permission was obtained in 1930 from King George V to call the gardens the "Royal Botanical Gardens". At the same time as the proposal for the botanical gardens was under consideration, the City of Hamilton was undertaking an ambitious program of beautification on the nearby Burlington Heights. The North-Western Entrance to Hamilton project included an extensive set of gardens designed by the Toronto firm of Wilson, Bunnell and Borgstrom. Among these was the Rock Garden created by lining a 5.5 acre abandoned gravel pit with limestone from the Niagara Escarpment. In 1932 the Board of Park Management brought together the Burlington Heights gardens and the south shore of Cootes Paradise as Royal Botanical Gardens.

Described as "one of the most ambitious parish churches in Somerset", the present Church of St John the Baptist in Glastonbury, Somerset, England, dates from the 15th century.
Recent excavations in the chancel, together with others in the 19th Century in the nave, revealed early foundations. These indicate a large central tower that possibly dated from C.950.
At the beginning of the 15th Century the church had suffered some catastrophe such as the collapse of the central tower. A great deal of re-roofing and repair was done in 1404, and all through the century rebuilding and refurnishing went on. Sometime during this century further damage was caused by the collapse of several pinnacles, whether from the old or new tower is uncertain, and the nave roof had to be practically rebuilt. The west tower is first mentioned in 1484. By the end of the century the church had assumed the appearance which it has today.
The tower rises to a height of 134½ feet, and is the second tallest parish church tower in Somerset.
By contrast:
Glastonbury a little market town with a population of 8,000 become, what is considered to be, the Pagan centre of England? Glastonbury’s fame is twofold. Firstly, it’s known as the Pagan equivalent of Mecca, somewhat popular with not only British Pagan visitors, but also with members from esoteric communities from all over the world. The town regularly sees groups of Spanish and Mexican Witches, Druids from New Zealand and Italy, Heathens from Germany and Russia, and all manner of Pagans from the States and Canada.
The Italian planners had in mind the ambitious example of the Tennessee Valley Authority, which had resettled thousands of Appalachian families. An American sociologist, Friedrich Friedmann, led a team of researchers—including a historian, a doctor, a geographer, and a psychologist—who assessed conditions in the Sassi. After architects devised several potential resettlement schemes, Friedmann’s team asked the peasants which design they thought was best.
In the new rural development of La Martella, four miles west of the Sassi, the architect Ludovico Quaroni attempted to re-create the open-air vicinati that the Materans had used as their plazas and drawing rooms. Each resettled family was given a house with an adjoining barn for animals; the bedroom windows looked out on the stables, so that residents could keep an eye on the beasts at night, as they had in the Sassi. The first families were moved to La Martella in 1954. The Giornale del Mezzogiorno declared that Materans had travelled “from the darkness of the Sassi to cottages in the green countryside!” Italian newspapers continued to support the cause, and the government began encouraging residents whose caves had originally been thought salvageable to move.
Ambitious kayaker sets out on a windy day for a little sea kayaking near Victoria BC Canada. A very important rule in sea kayaking is to have the latest marine weather forecast so you can avoid problems with changes in the weather. Too many times in our local waters I have seen kayakers stranded on islands or worse yet flipped over in heavy sea's all because they were inexperienced and went out in the wrong weather conditions. It can be a life or death situation.

This is Havana's most ambitious and grandiose building with construction starting in 1926 that took 5,000 workers 3 years, 2 months and 20 days to complete.
The design of the building is similar to the Capital Building in Washington, D.C but was actually modeled after the Pantheon in Paris.
It was formerly the seat of the Cuban Congress and then from 1959-2013 it was home to the Cuban Academy of Sciences and the National Library of Science and Technology.
Highway distances between Havana and all sites in Cuba are calculated from the floor at the centre of the dome.
Restoration was to be completed in 2018 and then to be reopened as the home of Cuba's National Assembly.
