Dès le milieu du Ier s. ap. J-C., Argentomagus se dote d'un théâtre où sa population peut assister aux ludi sacenici, aux jeux scéniques.
Un premier théâtre
Au Ier s., c'est le ballet tragique de la pantomime et le rire du mime qui règnent sur les scènes romaines, ravissant le public et honorant les dieux. Car c'est toujours à l'occasion d'une fête religieuse que l'on se rassemble au théâtre et que le spectacle est donné. Ce patronage divin se manifeste à l'intérieur de l'édifice par la présence d'autels ou de statues et souvent à l'extérieur, par la construction d'un temple d'où le dieu contemple les jeux qui se déroulent sous ses yeux.
En construisant un théâtre maçonné, Argentomagus affirmait sa primauté à l'intérieur du réseau des agglomérations secondaires bituriges. Le premier théâtre correspond au moment où les notables gallo-romains passaient commande d'édifices en pierre à des architectes qui tentaient d'adapter les plans romains au budget des petites villes et aux besoins du public. La première version du monument ne présentait qu'un seul mur maçonné. A l'intérieur, des gradins en bois s'alignaient sur la pente naturelle du coteau.
Trop petit, on construisit un second mur d'enceinte, ce qui permit de gagner en haut cinq gradins. C'est à la fin du Ier s. que la ville équipa son théâtre de gradins en pierre.
Un nouveau théâtre
Dans les années 150, les notables d'Argentomagus furent confrontés à un grave problème. Leur théâtre était en mauvais état. Le théâtre trop petit ne pouvait accueillir toute la population de la ville. Les notables prirent la décision de démolir le théâtre et d'en reconstruire un autre, plus grand.
S'ouvre alors l'un des plus grands chantiers que la ville ait connu : il faut d'abord démonter le premier théâtre, récupérer tous les blocs (seuils, gradins, marches) qui serviront dans le nouveau bâtiment et araser les murs. Il faut ensuite recreuser la partie inférieure de la pente et exhausser sur des remblais de terre la partie supérieure, afin d'augmenter le nombre des gradins et d'améliorer les conditions de visibilité. Il faut enfin élever les murs, construire les voûtes des passages rayonnants, mettre en place les gradins de la cavea et planter la scène et son décor.
Argentomagus possède désormais un théâtre de 85 m de diamètre, rythmé par des allées rayonnantes et concentriques qui répartissent rapidement le public.
Les notables disposent d'un gradin d'honneur qui s'appuie au mur de l'orchestra. De part et d'autre de la scène, leur sont réservées de grandes entrées, accessibles également aux spectateurs des premiers rangs de la cavea, et le prêtre ou l'éditeur qui préside aux ludi scaenici est installé sur une estrade à travers la cavea, le plan du nouvel édifice permet de respecter la hiérarchie entre les différentes catégories sociales et de souligner l'importance du groupe des notables.
Ainsi, le nouveau théâtre d'Argentomagus a beaucoup servi au long du IIe s., un peu moins pendant le IIIe s. où la Gaule, comme les autres régions de l'empire, connut de graves difficultés économiques.
L'amphithéâtre
Construit enfin totalement en pierre, le théâtre d'Argentomagus figurait désormais en bonne position sur la carte des édifices de spectacle de la cité des Bituriges Cubes.
Le nouveau monument fut implanté dans le tissu urbain, à l'articulation entre le noyau ancien de l'oppidum et la zone d'extension de l'agglomération gallo-romaine. L'édifice n'a jamais fait l'objet de fouilles; seuls deux de ses murs élevés dans un appareil à moellons quadrangulaires caractéristique du IIe s., ont été mis au jour. Un relevé des courbes de niveau donne au grand axe une longueur de 80 à 100 m et suggère que l'édifice présentait une orientation nord-est/sud-ouest.
The Mayor requested my help to assist him in finding all the lumps and bumps and holes on the roads of New Victory and we found quite a few. One particular bump almost threw me out onto the ground!
This got me thinking and I have come up with a smashing invention...A belt that could be sewn onto the seat with a buckle to secure my bottom to the seat. I will call my new invention a Seat Belt.... (runs off to the patent office).

In some ways, I suppose it’s an open question as to whether I am the artist here. For the most part, the image was composed by the AI. I upscaled it, I adjusted color and shading, and refined the details.
Still, the base image did not exist until I called it into existence. In times past artists have thrown paint on a canvas and called it art. There is technique to that. Likewise, there is technique to driving the AI to produce the base image, and in refining the image after the AI produces it.

Conrail EMD SD40 Nos. 6280 and 6277 helper locomotives are on the rear of an eastbound freight, assisting with braking on the Allegheny Mountains crossing west of Altoona, Pennsylvania, on October 21, 1988. The train is rolling through famous Horseshoe Curve, and besides helping the train downgrade, it’s a convenient way to get the helper units back to Altoona for another push.

BNSF 2732 runs its wheels off assisting #4 from Albuquerque to Chicago as it rolls out its final 11 miles blasting through Riverside just before sunset. Jun 13, 2017
Esta foto la saqué el verano pasado y la pongo hoy porque esa linda fuente ya no existe. Quedé tremendamente decepcionada y muy triste. A este paso quien sabe si uno de estos dias deciden eliminar también la Cibeles. Esto es imperdonable sr. Gallardón.
This is the newer part of the old police headquarter of Frankfurt. Already scheduled to be demolished last year, it is still there. To hinder any tiles from falling on somebody's head, the wall is protected with wire mesh.
Conti Chivalry (previously known as Ever Chivalry) (IMO: 9293791) is a container ship registered and sailing under the flag of Liberia. Her gross tonnage is 90,449, her overall length (loa) is 334 m and her container capacity is 8,084 TEU. She was built in 2006 and is operated by NSB Niederelbe Schiffahtsges of Germany.
I photographed the Conti Chivalry as she passed through the mouth of the Swan River heading into the Fremantle Inner Harbour on 30 April 2021. Her last port of call was Adelaide and her next port of call is Singapore. She was assisted by four tugs, Svitzer Albatross and Svitzer Eagle Svitzer Falcon and Svitzer Redhead most likely due to both her size and the tide. I did notice one of the tugs was working hard to keep her speed down.
I finally took the tree down the other day and Floydd was right there to help me sort out all the ornaments!

Newts have evolved to engage in unique mating practices. Males and females are drawn together through a potent release of hormones. The male grabs the female from behind and wrestles her to the bottom of the water, where he deposits a sperm package on a leaf. The female then uptakes the sperm into an opening leading to her sex organ.
In some species, as with this eastern spotted newt, the female has small appendages on either side of the opening to assist her. This is a rare photo of a female swimming alone with these appendages still extended. She has either just mated or is looking to do so.
A small insect swims above her to the left.

After waiting for SCT’s 3PM9 to clear the block, empty Aurizon Iron Ore service 6911S from Whyalla to Wirrida gains momentum through the popular photography spot of Yorkey’s Crossing with GWU012/GWA007 up front and GWA004/GWU014 at the rear on Thursday the 10th of November 2022.
These Iron Ore trains usually run 3 times a week to the Balloon loop at Wirrida before returning to Whyalla to export the loading overseas. The length and weight of the train as well as the network infrastructure arrangements require it to run with Distributed Power Units (DPU) to assist the train up gradients and to prevent running the locomotives around at Spencer Jct after each trip both ways. DPU running in South Australia isn’t very common and remains exclusive to this train, however it can be seen daily on the Coal networks in the Eastern states.

Da sx. Giuseppe d'Arimatea, inginocchiato con il martello in mano e la tenaglia nella cintura, che ci guarda e ci invita ad assistere a questa tragica scena, fu colui che chiese a Pilato il corpo di Cristo e trovò il sepolcro. Uomo distinto e facoltoso, fedele a Gesù, acquistò la Sacra Sindone e depositò il corpo di Cristo nella tomba che aveva predisposta per sé. Subito dopo di lui Maria di Giuseppe (Salome) viene identificata nella tradizione come la madre dei figli di Zebedeo - Giacomo il Maggiore e Giovanni l'Evangelista. Ella seguiva Gesù come discepola fin da quando predicava ancora in Galilea. Tiene le mani avvinghiate alle gambe quasi a strapparne via la carne viva, a testimonianza del suo immenso dolore. Vi sono poi la Madonna, Maria madre del Cristo morto e deposto sul catafalco ai suoi piedi. Al suo fianco San Giovanni Apostolo, il seguace di Cristo al quale prima di morire sulla croce affidò la propria madre. Egli è l'estensore di uno dei quattro Vangeli. Il suo segno distintivo è l'aquila. Viene poi Maria di Cleofa che con le mani cerca di allontanare da sé l'orrore del Cristo morto e urla il suo strazio a gola spiegata. Viene tradizionalmente identificata come sposa di Cleofa e considerata parente di Maria Santissima; madre di Giacomo Minore (uno degli Apostoli di Cristo che seguiva dalle origini della sue predicazione). Infine Maria Maddelena, tradizionalmente posta a piedi di Cristo perché era la peccatrice perdonata da Gesù al quale aveva lavato i piedi, asciugandoli poi con i propri capelli durante la cena a casa di Simeone. E' forse la figura più famosa del Compianto; giunge al Santo Sepolcro correndo e urlando con le vesti scomposte al vento. In riferimento a lei e a Maria di Cleofa, Ernesto De Martino parla "di danza selvaggia" attorno al corpo di Cristo. E Nicodemo? Questa figura è presente in tutti i Compianti, in questo manca. La tradizione vuole che la statua che aveva il volto di Giovanni II Bentivoglio, signore della città -, una volta conquistata Bologna e accorpata allo Stato della Chiesa da papa Giulio II, dopo il 1506, fu fatta abbattere come tante altre, per cancellare la memoria dei Signori precedenti.

According to my notes, this is actually the hind end of an eastbound train heading for Cajon Pass at Verdemont, CA. An interesting combination of an SD45-2 and GP35 are lending their muscle to the task.

Complete Mk.7 rocket-assisted ejection seat from an F-4 Phantom II fighter jet was made by British manufacturer Martin-Baker Aircraft Co. Ltd., the world leader in ejection seats for more than 60 years. It includes a seatbelt, grip handle on right side of seat, empty oxygen tank and release button on left side of seat… and hopefully not the ejection rocket! An artifact from the Future Ventures’ Space Collection.
The McDonnell F-4 Phantom II two-seat twinjet fighter was one of the most versatile fighters ever built. It boasted top speeds above Mach 2 and became the U.S. Navy's fastest, highest flying, and longest-range fighter. Both the Navy Blue Angels and Air Force Thunderbirds flight demonstration teams flew the F-4 from 1969 to 1973.
P.S. I saw what looked like this seat in the movie Sully, and sure enough… see below.

I do love used bookshops
I love books with tattered pages
With fraying edges and loose spines
Underlined passages and notes in the margins
Even pages hanging on by a thread
That is a book recommending itself to me
“Look,” it says. “I am used, because I was worth reading
Several times, over and over again.”
I feel this way about humans too
I love people with bruises and scars
Broken hearts and weary arms
And even in spite of their ragged, wounded souls
They still hold on to who they are
Because a heart hanging on by a thread
Is a person recommending himself to me
Saying, “Look, I am broken, yes;
Because once I loved with all I had
And I am worth loving again.”
This photo was a fun one to shoot, and one of my first images I ever shot in a very public, busy setting (even though it might not look like it here). Taken on location at Stanford University, assisted by my sister and parents. Thanks guys!
