Static friction is overcome and a new layer is flattened on the cone. The process is similar to what happens when slowly raising one end of a board on which rest a scatter of coins. The money stays in place until static friction is overcome and the board clears at a critical angle: like a delayed money-slide when playing poker and drinking heavily.
Angler, La Caletta, Provinz Nuoro, Sardinien, 2018
Mancheiner nutzt das Hafenbecken von La Caletta, um hier Fische zu angeln. Sicher nicht der schlechteste Ort, um es sich gemütlich zu machen. Gefangen hatte dieser Angler aber noch nichts.

Some use the docks of La Caletta to fish. Certainly not the worst place to make yourself comfortable. But this fisherman had not caught anything yet.

This cemetery angel is near a place I work, something about her is mysterious. It may be that her face has weathered away, her arms have gone, or that she waits in a secluded part of the site.
I am not particularly religious in the Christian sense, but symbols and beliefs are so interesting. I didn't realise that angels apparently predate the concept of a monotheistic God.
Archaeologists have unearthed alters dedicated to winged guardian angels in Iraq, in what was once Sumeria dating from 3,000 BC. Old stories go back even further.
Something of interest I read on an angelology site:
"In August of 1914, during World War I, British and French troops fell into retreat from the Germans. Wounded soldiers reported angels in the field of battle. French soldiers thought they saw Michael the Archangel while the British claimed it was Saint George. (Michael and St. George are thought, by some, to be one in the same, the Dragon-slayer) In any event, the men saw a tall blonde man in golden armor and suffered their wounds with an air of calm serenity. In later reports, the Germans claimed that they were unable to advance and that their horses turned and ran. The angel became known as the Angel of Mons, after the area in which the appearance took place."
I wonder what my angels has seen?
**This shot took a little work. To the right of the angel a tree and a headstone were cloned out to preserve the sky unbroken. I like this shot but it definitely is not perfect. The sky is blown out in places, a 5 shot HDR would've helped. Also the angle of the angel in the framing isn't quite right.

A closer shot of my fooded trail on January 4, 2019.
A few weeks later this trail was big puddles. I will still avoid it until the lake recedes in the spring.
Night shots of Needle Felted Angler Fish. He has the working LED light in his "fishing rod". He is felted over a foam base & is about the size of a basketball.
My 2013 Classic Rapunzel Doll has been completely deboxed. She is standing, supported by a Kaiser doll stand (not included with the doll), and is photographed from various angles.
The 2013 Classic Rapunzel doll has many differences from the 2012 model, and is a greatly improved doll. She is both more attractive and more movie accurate. The major changes are to her head and face, her dress and her legs. There are a minor changes to her hair and she is now barefoot. The only features that haven't changed are her torso and arms. I still prefer the 2011 Classic Rapunzel doll's face. Of course the original 2010 Classic Rapunzel doll has a far superior dress and hair and several accessories. The 2010 doll is still available, repackaged as the 2011 Parks Rapunzel doll, in Disneyland Anaheim as of June 23, 2013.
Her head has been redesigned to be rounder than last year's doll. She has a larger forehead, larger eyes, more pronounced cheekbones, fuller cheeks, wider mouth that still has a smirk, and a smaller chin. Her small nose is slightly straighter, so there is no pronounced knob at the end.
Her face is similar to last years, but with many small changes. Her eyes are wider than before, so they are larger and more oval. Her big green eyes are still glancing to her right, but the pupils are larger, the color is darker, and the whites are larger. She no longer looks like she is glancing to the right but still staring straight ahead (which was a creepy look for the 2012 doll to have). Instead, she looks like she is gracefully looking towards her right. She has two short, thick lashes over the corner of her right eye and three over her left. She has no eyeshadow. Her light brown eyebrows are slightly lighter in color, and closer to her eyes. Her freckles are in a slightly different pattern, and are slightly darker. The rouge on her face is a little darker, and also extends across the middle of her nose. Her closed mouth is a little wider and forms a smirk as before, but her pink lips are now darker and more purple. Overall, her face is much more attractive, feminine and lively, as well as being more movie accurate.
Her golden blonde hair is about 11 inches long, so doesn't quite reach the floor. It is about an inch shorter than the hair on the 2012 Rapunzel, which actually dragged on the floor. It is still straight and free flowing. Right out of the box it is easy to make even by shaking it out, but isn't quite as smooth as the 2012 doll. But it was very easy to comb it to make it smoother and more even. There is a pronounced ridge of hair over her forehead that is fixed in place with gel, so it is quite stiff. The ridge makes her face more open than the 2012 doll, which also helps her appearance. The rest of her hair is soft, smooth and shiny.
The dress is similar in design as the 2012 doll, but is now much more attractive and movie accurate. Her satin bodice is now pink rather than dark purple, with pink corset lacing and a V-shaped waist. She has short puffy satin sleeves with pink and purple stripes. Her purple satin skirt is overlayed with a glittering floral pattern, with a center section that is plain purple satin. This is a switch from the movie version, where the floral pattern was in the central pink panel. However, it is much improved over the purple satin skirt of the 2012 doll, with no central panel, and the glitter in a random spray pattern. The skirt is the same length as before, a couple of inches off the floor. Missing are the sheer pink sleeve extensions on the dresses of the 2012 and earlier versions.
Her body is fully articulated in the arms, but now has the rubber legs of 2011 and earlier dolls, which has internal knee joints and fixed angled feet. Her hip joints allow her to sit down with her legs together and her back straight up, unlike the 2012 doll with the fully articulated but defective legs. But her knees can only bend about 40 degrees, so her legs stick out when she is sitting. The leg joints are also much stiffer, so she is in a much more natural position when placed standing in a Kaiser doll stand. Her angled rubber feet also make her about 1/4 inch taller than the 2012 doll, who had flat feet. I'm glad that she is now barefoot, as she was throughout the original movie. I'd say that the rubber legs are definitely a big improvement, except that glitter tends to stick to them.
The packaging for the dolls is much improved. The box art has been completely redesigned, with beautiful decorations unique to each Princess (actually for each movie), and a cameo of the animated movie character. Rapunzel's artwork has a purple background and includes images of the Sun and her hairbrush. The boxes are the same height and width, but are 1/2'' flatter, making them smaller and lighter.
The 2013 Disney Princess Classic Doll Collection, released on June 10, 2013. They consist of 11-12'' articulated dolls of the 11 official Disney Princesses, from Snow White to Merida, as well as Princes, Villains and Sidekicks. I now have all 11 Princesses, Queen Elinor, Charlotte and Gaston. I will photograph them boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed. I will also post reviews and comparative photos.

Petit immeuble sur pilotis.
Du dernier cri. Inspiré certainement d'une certaine façon, et qui au départ semble quasiment inesthétique pour ne pas dire m…. comme ont dû penser pas mal de visiteurs qui passaient trop vite sous la première impulsion.
Mais dans toute oeuvre, même décevante au départ ,il faut savoir passer outre et trouver la profondeur artistique, le plus souvent naissante pour cette population d''artistes. Elle existe dans le détail. Et si vous saviez ce qu'est le détail, qui presque toujours fait le reste et plus encore, suscite la vraie émotion qui s'imprime et expanse le sentiment artistique en soi.
Sous cet angle, et au prochain que je publierai ici, j'ai pensé à un immeuble pour insectes ou petites créatures.
Ne lui trouvez-vous pas, les amis un petit air de Corbusier ?
C'est cela Art Nature. On s'y amuse follement.
Tout est permis !
Lâchez-vous comme je l'ai fait.
Cela fait grand bien.

It was so windy that day that we were getting blown around the hillside. We rushed down to the tarn that has these incredible little "desert islands"and sheltered behind a rock near the shore. I like to think we drank from a flask of coffee and nibbled on Eccles cakes, all I can remember is the wind and the bright, bright sunlight.
