Gardens by the Bay is a nature park spanning on reclaimed land.
It is located in the Central Region of Singapore.
Gardens by the Bay is a tropical garden designed to celebrate the plants of the tropics
In January 2006, Gardens by the Bay began an international master plan design competition to get world-class ideas for the Gardens. The competition attracted more than 70 entries sent by 170 firms, from over 24 countries, including 35 from Singapore. Grant Associates and Gustafson Porter, both from UK, were awarded the master plan design for the Bay South and East Gardens in September 2006.
Bay East Garden is 32 hectares (79 acres) in size and it has a 2-kilometre (1.2 mi) promenade frontage bordering the Marina Reservoir. An interim park was developed at Bay East Garden in support of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. It is designed as a series of large tropical leaf-shaped gardens, each with its own specific landscaping design, character and theme.
Supertrees are uniquely designed vertical gardens ranging from 25 to 50 meters in height (82 to 164 feet), with emphasis placed on the vertical display of tropical flowering climbers, epiphytes and ferns.
Supertrees perform a multitude of functions, which include planting, shading and working as environmental engines for the gardens. They are home to enclaves of unique and exotic ferns, vines, orchids and also a vast collection of bromeliads such as Tillandsia, amongst other plants.
This photo was taken in Nakatsuchi, Otari village in early autumn on the way to Kamaike (鎌池) pond in the same community. Forests are still lush at this altitude of 600 m.
Susuki (Chinese silvergrass, Miscanthus sinensis) is a perennial herbaceous grass found in East Asia. The Miscanthus genus is found all over Eurasia and Africa.
Susuki has been a subject of Japanese art and literature often associated with autumn, solitude and bleakness, although this photo is not intended for such sentiments.
It used to be important as a roofing material.
The waters flowing towards glen moriston here above the loch but the kintail hills surrounding are more associated with glen shiel. The vast open space is quite thought provoking and immediately raises the question (in many it doesn't!) as to how natural that is. In the distance there's a forestry plantation successfully growing, growing simply because it was protected from grazing animals ... so just how many deer or sheep does it take to raze a landscape like this into the current form we see?

A big bull elk in Rocky Mountain National Park, associating with two other bulls. The divots in his fur, evident on both flanks, may be battle scars. One of the other bulls had the tines broken off his antlers, while the third bull appeared unscathed.
The antlers will drop off soon, and new antlers will start growing in spring. These guys have some time to get back in shape and to think about battle strategy.
Another shuttle train loaded with thermal coal mined at the nearby Iron Senergy Cumberland Mine passes over Bridge #1, and alongside Whiteley Creek outside of Kirby, PA.
This unique and completely isolated railway began in 1976 under ownership of steel icon United States Steel, shuttling coal from their newly opened deep mine to Alicia Harbor in Alicia, PA along the Monongahela River, 17 miles away.
In 2020, current owner Contura Energy had announced their intentions to close the 40 plus year old mine by 2022, rather than invest in a new tailings pond which was nearing max capacity. Enter, Iron Senergy.
The sale from Contura to a completely unknown company, was a major alarm for the 700+ employees at UMWA Local 2300. Who is this Iron Senergy? What is it? Filings online showed that the company had just been created that same year. Its owners and C suite executives were unknown even. Public filings between this Iron Senergy and Contura had redacted the names involved with the mysterious company.
Contura couldn't wait to get Greene County, PA assets off of their hands. To the extent that the UMWA claims Iron Senergy was paid $50M to take over Cumberland Mine and other mining assets saving $169M in associated costs for Contura Energy, who after the sale would rebrand themselves to become Alpha Metallurgical Resources. Included in the sale was the nearby gargantuan Emerald Mine, which was closed in 2016, now flooded and full of water. 500 million tons of Pittsburgh No.8 coal reserves, a limited tailings facility (as mentioned earlier), the 17 mile long Cumberland Mine Railroad, it's Alicia Harbor and lastly the Labelle Transloading Facility which gave Iron Senergy access to transload from rail, to barge, then back to rail for loading onto CSX and NS trains increasing direct access for more markets.
In 2022 mining production reached over 6 million clean tons of coal, a substantial increase over the previous few years under Contura ownership. At time of purchase Cumberland Mine was operating 2 development segments and a single long wall miner. Iron Senergy executives made the decision to immediately bring in a 3rd long wall miner to increase production.
The moral change at the mine was instantaneous, creating a massive increase in productivity. 37% from continuous miners, and 20% in longwall mining. Since taking over in 2020 Iron Senergy has invested over $127M into expanding production of the property, with the most crucial investment being the building of a new tailings dump. In 2021, groundbreaking for CRDA #3 took place, allowing the Cumberland Mine facility to increase its life expectancy by another additional 20 years when completed.

“Perlan – the Pearl – is an immersive museum that showcases Iceland’s extraordinary landscapes and nature in an accessible and engaging way. Its impressive hands-on, interactive exhibits and shows explain the country’s landforms, geology and wildlife. State-of-the-art technology elevates Perlan from an ordinary museum to one that guests will find innovative and memorable.
Alongside a fascinating display that focuses on the characteristics of Iceland’s changing glaciers, visitors can step into a hundred-metre-long artificial ice cave. An estimated 350 tons of snow gathered from Icelandic mountains were used in its construction. In graphic contrast, the museum’s Forces of Nature exhibit addresses the country’s volcanic systems and geothermal activity.
Styrmir, the museum’s spectacular indoor geyser, shoots a jet of water 25 metres into the air through the central atrium.
In Perlan’s domed 150-seat planetarium, the spotlight turns to the Aurora Borealis. Utilising 8K projection and 7.1 surround sound, the breathtaking Áróra show takes guests on a spellbinding journey through the origins and legends associated with the Northern Lights, bringing it vividly – and reliably – to life.
Perlan’s striking architecture adds an extra dimension to a visit. Located on Öskjuhlíð, the tallest hill in Reykjavik, it’s an easily recognised landmark, comprising six water tanks that support a glass dome which floods the interior with light. The museum’s wraparound observation deck offers an uninterrupted 360° panorama of the Icelandic capital and its surroundings.
Perlan represents Iceland in a nutshell. As such, it makes an ideal first or last stop on every tourist’s itinerary, whether they plan to venture beyond Reykjavik or choose to remain in the capital.”

Biscoitos, Terceira island, Azores archipelago.
The cult of the Holy Spirit (Culto do Divino Espírito Santo) is a religious sub-culture, inspired by Christian millenarian mystics, associated with Azorean Catholicidentity.
La plupart des communes des Açores ont construit de telles chapelles où se déroule chaque année, peu après Pâques, le culte de l'Esprit Saint, avec partage et distribution de plats traditionnels, couronnement de l'empereur, etc. Notez la couronne au sommet du pignon qui symbolise ce culte pratiqué avec ferveur par les habitants de l'archipel.
Most of the municipalities of the Azores have built such chapels where the worship of the Holy Spirit takes place every year -shortly after easter-, with sharing and distribution of traditional dishes, coronation of the emperor, etc. Note the crown at the top of the gable that symbolizes this cult practiced fervently by the inhabitants of the archipelago.

A TRRA yard job is seen working the south end of Madison Yard just outside of Brooklyn, Illinois. In the background, 101 prepares to depart for Lindenwood via the Mac Bridge. The concrete bridge piers in the background were part of the Illinois Terminal's Venice High Line, a mile-long trestle that connected the McKinley Bridge with the IT's yard facilities in East Madison. It was abandoned around the same time as when the IT ended rail service over the McKinley Bridge in 1977.
Dilmun is associated with ancient sites on the islands of Bahrain in the Persian Gulf, the Cradle of Civilization.
Dilmun (sometimes transliterated Telmun) is associated with ancient sites on the islands of Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. Because of its location along the sea trade routes linking Mesopotamia with the Indus Valley Civilization, Dilmun developed in the Bronze Age, from ca. 3000 BC, into one of the greatest entrepots of trade of the ancient world.
There is both literary and archaeological evidence for the trade between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley (probably correctly identified with the land called Meluhha in Akkadian). Impressions of clay seals from the Indus Valley city of Harappa were evidently used to seal bundles of merchandise, as clay seal impressions with cord or sack marks on the reverse side testify.
A number of these Indus Valley seals have turned up at Ur and other Mesopotamian sites. "Persian Gulf" types of circular stamped rather than rolled seals, known from Dilmun, that appear at Lothal in Gujarat, India, and Faylahkah, as well as in Mesopotamia, are convincing corroboration of the long-distance sea trade. What the commerce consisted of is less sure: timber and precious woods, ivory, lapis lazuli, gold, and luxury goods such as carnelian and glazed stone beads, pearls from the Persian Gulf, shell and bone inlays, were among the goods sent to Mesopotamia in exchange for silver, tin, woolen textiles, olive oil and grains. Copper ingots, certainly, bitumen, which occurred naturally in Mesopotamia, may have been exchanged for cotton textiles and domestic fowl, major products of the Indus region that are not native to Mesopotamia - all these have been instanced.
Mesopotamian trade documents, lists of goods, and official inscriptions mentioning Meluhha supplement Harappan seals and archaeological finds. Literary references to Meluhhan trade date from the Akkadian, the Third Dynasty of Ur, and Isin - Larsa Periods (ca. 2350 - 1800 BC), but the trade probably started in the Early Dynastic Period (ca. 2600 BC). Some Meluhhan vessels may have sailed directly to Mesopotamian ports, but by the Isin - Larsa Period, Dilmun monopolized the trade. By the subsequent Old Babylonian period, trade between the two cultures evidently had ceased entirely.
The Bahrain National Museum assesses that its "Golden Age" lasted ca. 2200 - 1600 BC. Its decline dates from the time the Indus Valley civilization suddenly and mysteriously collapsed, in the middle of the 2nd millennium BC. This would of course have stripped Dilmun of its importance as a trading center between Mesopotamia and India. The decay of the great sea trade with the east may have affected the power shift northwards observed in Mesopotamia itself.
Evidence about Neolithic human cultures in Dilmun comes from flint tools and weapons. From later periods, cuneiform tablets, cylinder seals, pottery and even correspondence between rulers throw light on Dilmun. Written records mentioning the archipelago exist in Sumerian, Akkadian, Persian, Greek, and Latin sources.
Dilmun, sometimes described as "the place where the sun rises" and "the Land of the Living" is the scene of a Sumerian creation myth and the place where the deified Sumerian hero of the flood, Ziusudra (Utnapishtim), was taken by the gods to live for ever.
There is mention of Dilmun as a vassal of Assyria in the 8th century BC and by about 600 BC, it had been fully incorporated into the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Dilmun then falls into deep eclipse marked by the decline of the copper trade, so long controlled by Dilmun, and the switch to a less important role in the new trade of frankincense and spices. The discovery of an impressive palace at the Ras al Qalah site in Bahrain is promising to increase knowledge of this late period.
Otherwise, there is virtually no information until the passage of Nearchus, the admiral in charge of Alexander the Great's fleet on the return from the Indus Valley. Nearchus kept to the Iranian coast of the Gulf, however, and cannot have stopped at Dilmun. Nearchus established a colony on the island of Falaika off the coast of Kuwait in the late 4th century BC, and explored the Gulf perhaps least as far south as Dilmun/Bahrain.
From the time of Nearchus until the coming of Islam in the 7th century AD Dilmun/Bahrain was known by its Greek name of Tylos. The political history for this period is little known, but Tylos was at one point part of the Seleucid Empire, and of Characene and perhaps part of the Parthian Empire. Shapur II annexed it, together with eastern Arabia, into the Persian Sassanian empire in the 4th century.
Unlike Egyptian and Mesopotamian tablets and cylinders, the Dilmun legacy has been discovered on circular seals. The primitive forms of images carved on the seal indicate they were used as charms or talisman. Carved on wood, soapstone shells or metal, these images clearly define a complex society. Temples in the center of the agrarian village, towns, city-states, religious, and economic cultural life. All facets of the emergence of an evolutionary society are reflected in the inscriptions about the seals.
Impressions found on pottery and property is a probable usage of the seals. Burying them with the dead was probably to avoid misuse. Tiny fragments found impressed, suggest identifying property. Clearly there was an intrinsic value; each seal tells a story, has an identity.
Seals depict Enki, God of wisdom and sweet water. Gilgamesh as a massive and heroic figure, the 'Bull of heaven' hat. Ladies of the mountains 'Inanas' servants wearing her triangle signs depicting space for her power. 'Nana' is the moon god who was also named 'sin'. Symbol was the bull of heaven head. Inana, goddess of immortality.
From the dreams of Gilgamesh, to the philosophy of life. Seals depicting a harmonious life with nature and god are painted here in the colors and form I hope you enjoy. The colors naturally excite and stimulate, often sexually. Indisputably the ancient myths of immortality and resurrection influenced Dilmun beliefs and are abundantly supported in the seal designs, represented by gods of the sun and moon.
The Mesopotamian texts described Tilmun as situated at the 'mouth' of two bodies of water. The Sinai peninsula, shaped as an inverted triangle indeed begins where the Red Sea separates into two arms - the gulf of Suez on the west, and the Gulf of Elat (Gulf of Aqaba) on the east.
The texts spoke of mountainous Tilmun. The Sinai peninsula is indeed made up of a high mountainous southern part, a mountainous central plateau, and a northern plain (surrounded by mountains), which levels off via sandy hills to the Mediterranean coastline. Sargon of Akkad claimed that he reached as 'washed his weapons' in the Mediterranean; 'the sea lands' - the lands along the Mediterranean coast - 'three times I encircled; Tilmun my hand captured'. Sargon II, king of Assyria in the eighth century BC, asserted that he had conquered the area stretching 'from Bit-Yahkin on the shore of the salt Sea as far as the border of Tilmun'. The name 'Salt Sea' has survived to this day as a Hebrew name for the Dead Sea - another confirmation that Tilmun lay in proximity to the Dead Sea.
The cradle of civilization is sometimes referenced by the name Dilmun, or Tilmun. Here, it was said, the god Ea and his wife were placed to institute 'a sinless age of complete happiness'.
Here too animals lived in peace and harmony, man had no rival and the god Enlil `in one tongue gave praise'. It is also described as a pure, clean and `bright' `abode of the immortals' where death, disease and sorrow are unknown and some mortals have been given `life like a god', words reminiscent of the Airyana Vaejah, the realm of the immortals in Iranian myth and legend, and the Eden of Hebraic tradition
Although Dilmun is equated by most scholars with the island of Bahrain in the Persian Gulf, there is evidence to suggest that a much earlier mythical Dilmun was located in a mountainous region beyond the plains of Sumer.
But where exactly was it located Mesopotamian inscriptions do not say; however, the Zoroastrian Bundahishn text and the Christian records of Arbela in Iraqi Kurdistan both refer to a location named Dilamƒn as having existed around the head waters of the Tigris, south-west of Lake Van - the very area in which the biblical Eden is said to have been located.
Furthermore, Ea (the Akkadian Enki) was said to have presided over the concourse of Mesopotamia's two greatest rivers - the Tigris and Euphrates - which are shown in depictions as flowing from each of his shoulders.
This would have undoubtedly have meant that the head-waters, or sources, of these rivers would have been looked upon as sacred to Ea by the cultures of Mesopotamia's Fertile Crescent.
- Zecharia Sitchin The Stairway to Heaven
Dilmun was allegedly a magical land, the birthplace of the gods and the place where the arts of civilization where said first to have been transmitted to men. It was the subject of many legends told by the Sumerians, the people of southern Iraq; it was famed as a land where death and disease were unknown and men and animals lived at peace together.
It was the home of the Sumerian king who was the origin of the myth of Noah, the immortal survivor of the Great Flood, a story retold in the Qu'ran and the Bible.
The first great hero of world literature, Gilgamesh the king of Uruk, journeyed to Dilmun in search of the secret of eternal youth.
He found it deep in the waters of the Persian Gulf, off Bahrain, but lost it when the flower which restored the youth of those who sought it, was stolen by a snake, lurking in a pool as Gilgamesh returned to his kingdom; this is the reason why the snake sloughs his skin.
Symbolism - All is Myth and Metaphor in our reality
* water: flow of consciousness - creation
* restore to youth: move out of the physical body and return to higher frequency forms of sound, light, and color
* snake: DNA - the human bio-genetic experiment in time and emotion
* kingdom - Leo - Lion - King - Omega - closure
Dilmun was also the center of the most important trade routes of the third and second millennia BC. The most important commodity was copper for which Dilmun was famous and the dates for which Bahrain was always celebrated, from ancient times until the present day.
Because Dilmun was so sacred a land, there were many temples built there, the impressive remains of which can be seen today. The largest and most splendid temple surviving in Western Asia is at Barbar on Bahrain's northern shore.
The most famous of all Bahrain's rich archaeological heritage are the 200,000 grave mounds which are a feature of the landscape in the northern half of the island and which, by their size and quality of construction, show how prosperous Bahrain must have been in ancient times.
Dilmun continued to be the most important center of trade in the Gulf region throughout its history.
After the Sumerians, the Babylonians, Assyrians, even the Greeks, settled on the islands, because of their strategic importance in the movement of merchandise, north and south, east and west, by sea and by the land routes to which the seas gave access.
The records of their diplomatic relations with the kings of Dilmun, some of whose names are known from the records, testify to the importance of the islands throughout antiquity.
All left evidence of their presence, preserved today in the Bahrain National Museum and in the immense archaeological sites in which Bahrain is particularly rich.
Bahrain is an open-air treasure house of the past, a unique heritage from the earliest times when men first began to keep records of their hopes, fears and achievements.
It is the contemporary of ancient Egypt with Sumer and the peoples who succeeded them, of the great cities of the Indus Valley.

IC 1805 (also known as the Heart Nebula) is a diffuse nebula in association with an open cluster , visible in the constellation of Cassiopeia.
It is a very large HII region , whose distance is estimated to be around 7500 light years from us; its main feature is the presence of two large apparently empty areas, of different sizes, which make the nebula similar to a "heart". Inside there is a system of small open clusters not very concentrated, responsible for the ionization of the nebula. The most notable of these is Melotte 15, which contains some stars about 50 times more massive than the Sun.

Bosnia and Herzegovina often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeast Europe, located within the Balkans. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city. Bosnia is not entirely a landlocked country as it may appear on a map – to the south it has a narrow coast on the Adriatic Sea long and surrounds the town of Neum. Many people still associate the country with the break-up of Yugoslavia in the heartbreaking civil war of the 1990's. The scars from that time are all still visible. But today's tourist are likely to remember the country for its friendly, modest and warm people. The country has turned into an exciting and versatile travel destination, with beautiful mountains, numerous medieval castle ruins, seven major rivers, impressive waterfalls. Overall, nearly 50% of Bosnia is forested. A country where Eastern and Western civilizations have met over the centuries. Today integration into the European Union is one of the main political objectives of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The local currency is the Bosnian mark. The euro is also accepted. Islam is the majority faith in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also Orthodox Christianity, and Roman Catholicism are all present. The wild and unspoilt nature makes it an ideal place for both adventurers and nature lovers. Koćuša waterfall is situated in Veljaci village and it's one of the most beautiful nature pearls of this part of Herzegovina.
Koćuša Waterfall impresses firstly because of its length. It is more than fifty meters wide, which with five meters of height slopes, makes an imposing water slide. But numbers can’t describe you the real feel when you stand in front of it. Trebižat River is full of waterfalls. Actually, this river has 9 different names, and it changes them through its course. Before this waterfall the river is called Mlade and after it the river becomes Trebižat. On high temperatures, waterfall Koćuša is an ideal place for a rest and pleasant atmosphere. Beside waterfall, numerous visitors can be thrilled with ambundant wildlife of this untouched nature. In competition of his bigger brother Kravica Waterfall, Koćuša Waterfall offers more peace and quietness. Photo of Kanitha enjoying a refreshing waterfall swim at Koćuša.
Bosnië en Herzegovina informeel bekend als Bosnië, is een land in Zuidoost-Europa, gelegen op de Balkan. Sarajevo is de hoofdstad en de grootste stad. Veel mensen associëren het land nog steeds met het uiteenvallen van Joegoslavië in de hartverscheurende burgeroorlog van de jaren negentig. De littekens uit die tijd zijn allemaal nog zichtbaar. Maar de toerist van vandaag de dag zal het land waarschijnlijk herinneren vanwege zijn vriendelijke, bescheiden en warme mensen. Het land is een opwindende en veelzijdige reisbestemming geworden, met prachtige bergen, talloze middeleeuwse kasteelruïnes, zeven grote rivieren, indrukwekkende watervallen. In totaal is bijna 50% van Bosnië bebost. Een land waar oosterse en westerse beschavingen elkaar door de eeuwen heen hebben ontmoet. De wilde en ongerepte natuur maakt het een ideale plek voor zowel avonturiers als natuurliefhebbers. De Koćuša-waterval ligt in het dorp Veljaci en het is één van de mooiste natuurparels van dit deel van Herzegovina. De Koćuša-waterval maakt in de eerste plaats indruk vanwege zijn lengte. Het is meer dan vijftig meter breed en maakt met vijf meter hoge hellingen een imposante waterglijbaan. Maar cijfers kunnen u niet het echte gevoel beschrijven als u ervoor staat. Trebižat River staat vol met watervallen. Eigenlijk heeft deze rivier 9 verschillende namen en verandert deze door zijn loop. Voor deze waterval heet de rivier Mlade en daarna wordt de rivier Trebižat. Bij hoge temperaturen kan de waterval Koćuša een ideale plek zijn voor rust en een aangename sfeer. Naast de waterval kunnen talloze bezoekers enthousiast zijn over de overvloed aan wilde dieren van deze ongerepte natuur. In concurrentie met zijn grotere broer Kravica Waterfall biedt Koćuša Waterfall meer rust en stilte. Foto van Kanitha die geniet van een verfrissende duik bij Koćuša.
Rhingia campestris is a species of hoverfly.
Rhingia campestris is the main pollinator for many plant species and due to its long snout it can forage on tubulous flowers. Larvae are associated with cow dung. Adults males feed on nectar, while adult females feed on protein rich pollen, reflecting the cost of developing eggs.
In northeast British Columbia, near the towns of Hudson's Hope and Mackenzie, is Williston Reservoir, seventh largest in the world by volume. The Peace River flows out of the eastern edge of Williston through the Peace River Canyon.
BC Hydro's Peace Canyon project includes the W.A.C. Bennett Dam and the associated Gordon M. Shrum Generating Station, and the Peace Canyon Dam, 23 kilometres (km) downstream, which reuses water that has already generated electricity.

At the top of the steps we reach the 12th century St Marys church it is well worth visiting for it's many fascinating interior details,including a three decker pulpit, galleries, a special pew for the lord of the manor and a ships deck roof. The latter was built in 1819 with skylights and side lights installed by a ships carpenter exactly as it would be on board a ship....The churchyard is associated with Bram Stokers bloodthirsty vampire, Dracula, who purportedly arrived at Whitby in the guise of a large black dog.
Two icons in one: in the foreground, a portion of the ceramic poppy installation, "Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red", at the Tower of London, and on the other side of the River Thames, the 72-storey London Bridge Tower, clad in ultra-white glass. Also known as The Shard, it was designed by the architects at Renzo Piano Building Workshop in collaboration with Adamson Associates Archtects (Toronto, London).
Currently, the building is said to be 95% owned by the State of Qatar.

I love, love, love this building. It's so simple and elegant but so revolutionary and eye popping at the same time.
We associate silverfish with wet places like damp basements or bathroom sinks, but you can find them in the desert in the humid micro-climate under rocks. This one, in Joshua Tree National Park, was covered in hundreds of beads of condensed moisture. I love the little blackberry eye and the fuzzy face. I think this is Ctenolepisma longicaudatum, the Gray Silverfish. If so, it's a non-native species, but because of their association with humans they're found all over the world. They can be pests in homes, but this one was just looking sparkly, bothering no one & living the outdoor life.
The modern village of San Fele is nestled between the peaks of Monte Torretta and Monte Castello and over looks the Vitalba Valley. The Comune includes the village of San Fele and eight small frazoni or hamlets: Agrifoglio, Armatieri, Difesa, Cecci, Montagna, Pierno, Masone and Signorella. In all the Comune encompasses about 95 square kilometers and has a population of about 3800 people. The Comune is located in the Italian State of Basilicata in the northern province of Potenza. The local region is referred to as the Volture which comprises the northwest corner of the province of Potenza.
Although today the village is far removed from the commercial centers of Italy, the Comune has at its northeast corner a land feature known as the Crocelle Pass. This southern passage through the Appenine Mountains was, during ancient times and through the middle ages, a connector between the western Italian port city of Salerno and the eastern port city of Bari. As such the village lays on a very ancient trade route as well as on one of the Pilgrim/Crusader routes to the Holy Land. Some of the oldest elements of the village’s history and architecture reflect activities associated with its location in those ancient times.

At the Revue Blanche (Portrait of Félix) Fénéon)
1901
oil on paperboard
Movement-Post Expressionism
Vuillard portrayed his friend Félix Fénéon bent over a stack of papers at his desk at the Paris office of the anarchist literary and artistic journal,La revue blanche with which Pierre Bonnard,Vuillard,and other artists were closely associated.Fénéon worked there from 1894 to 1903.Vuillard compressed the space of his office and left his subject with an expressionless visage yet determined posture.Fénéon would later serve as an art dealer,but most significantly for the Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation,he was a long time mentor to founding director Hilla Rebay.Rebay arranged for Guggenheim to purchase what she viewed as precursors to nonobjectivity from Fénéon's personal collection in the 1930s,including Vuillard painting and work by Amedeo Mogdigliani.Although Rebay decided to add Fénéon's name to the list of patrons when Guggenheim's Museum of Nonobjective Painting opened in 1939,but such acknowledgment was never realized.
The supernova remnant in Cygnus variously called the Veil Nebula, the Network Nebula, the Lacework Nebula, or the Cygnus Loop. Nearby is the bright and large star cluster NGC 6940 over the border in Vulpecula. It is obvious in binoculars but not often recorded in the same frame as the Veil. But the wide field of the little RedCat astrograph is ideal for framing such Milky Way starfields. This shows both the eastern and western halves of the Veil as well as the little bits in between such as prominent Pickering’s Triangle component.
This is a stack of 7 exposures, each 8-minutes at f/4.9 with the William Optics RedCat 51mm scope, and the Canon EOS Ra camera at ISO 3200 and with the Optolong L-Enhance dual narrow-band filter in place for all exposures. It picks up the Hydrogen-Alpha reds and Oxygen III greens very well, but with little of the cyan tint usually associated with OIII visible in this case. The field is 8° by 5°.
Encroaching dawn twilight prevented me taking a set of unfiltered images to blend in with these but they would not have been as essential for this field. Shot May 27/28, 2020 from home.
