Driving down to central Oregon this weekend we noticed the smoke from the WSA Lightning Complex Fire at the foot hills of Mt. Jefferson. It was cool to see the smoke rising. Once the sun set began and the sun ducked under the horizon, I couldn't handle it any more and had to pull over to capture the awesome view of the sun setting behind the mountain and behind the smoke.
Above the smoke, a little to the right, there is a small streak of white. Upon zooming in on this, it appears to be a shooting star. I took 2 shots from this spot, 7 seconds apart, and it is in both shots, so I think it is actually just an airplane.
This is the Philae Temple Complex, located on Agilkia Island, though it was originally located on Philae Island at Aswan in Upper Egypt. Constructed between 380 and 362 BC under Nectanebo I of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, the primary temple structure of the complex was built to honor Isis, the mother goddess and most important female deity in the Ancient Egyptian religion. The temple also gained quite a few smaller temples dedicated to various deities, including Hathor, and it is believed that the site was the last active Ancient Egyptian religious site after all pagan religious practices were banned by the Roman Empire in the 4th Century AD, in favor of Christianity, with the last known Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic carving being found at the site, dating to the late 4th Century. In 537 AD, religious ceremonies were halted at the site by the local commander, and the structure then became the Church of St. Stephen, with many of the carved reliefs being vandalized and the stone columns and walls having carvings of crosses and other religious symbols being added, while the temple structure itself remained largely intact for over a millennia. The temple complex includes the Vestibule of Hadrian, a tall Roman-era structure, and several Ptolemaic-era column capitals that were never completed, and remain in an unfinished state. The temple attracted a lot of attention in the 19th Century due to its picturesque location, immaculate state of preservation, and lack of sediments or debris obscuring the structure. The darkest period in the structure’s history began in 1902, when the British government, which controlled Egypt at the time, constructed the Aswan Low Dam on the Nile River, with the water level behind the dam rising up over the base of the temple, damaging the structure. The dam was raised twice, further covering more of the structure and leading to yet more damage. When the Aswan High Dam was under construction in the 1960s, UNESCO stepped in and moved the temple to higher ground, rescuing it from its watery grave.
The place was almost destroyed due to a horrible earthquake back in 1803 but it was built back to as much original state as possible.

Yeboah's farm is on a rift at the edge of Tenebea. You can see two other villages we've visited to the north in the lowlands below.
When we toured his farm, he explained that the way he'd dug the complex furrows for his tomatoes limited the soil's erosion. The cashew tree he's holding is covered in tiny ants, which he tells us, distracts the birds and larger insects from eating its fruit.
On the grounds of the Plumpjack Winery in Napa Valley, California is a nice apartment complex for a community of small birds. If I were a bird, I think I would prefer one of the upper units . . .

The complex is one of the landmark buildings along the Boulevard. To the west will be the Grand Mosque and to the east across the Boulevard, the Palace of Justice.
Designed as a complex of interconnected spaces that will reflect a distinct presence in Precinct 3, the building is a contemporary interpretation of traditional Islamic architecture. The main feature is the Gateway or Gerbang with a public viewing deck on the top most level that allows for a breathtaking view of the city skyline that includes the Palace of Justice and the Grand Mosque. The gateway will also provide a vantage point during parades.
The main building comprises four simple volumes integrated within courtyards while along the Boulevard, the arcade will open up to incorporate a landscaped Qiblat Walk. In the Gallery flanking the Qiblat Walk, meeting rooms are suspended to give an impressive façade. A continuous suspended garden will crown the top of the gallery to provide natural views from the Dataran through to the waterfront to the west of the building.
The conference facilities and Auditorium are designed as a complex of low-rise medium sized buildings connected by pedestrian links with boutique retail spaces on the ground floor of each component. The façade on the Boulevard is a network of arcades with elegant intricate mesh screens of geometrical patterns providing protection from the sun.

The Qalawun complex (Arabic: مجمع قلاون) is a massive complex in Cairo, Egypt that includes a madrasa, a hospital and a mausoleum. It was built by the Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad Ibn Qalawun in the 1280s; some thirty surviving mosques were built during his time.
The Qalawun Complex was built over the ruins of the Fatimid Palace of Cairo, with several halls in the Palace. It was sold to several people until it was finally bought by the Sultan Qalawun in 1283 AD. The structure resides in the heart of Cairo, in the Bayn al-Qasrayn, and has been a center for important religious ceremonies and rituals of the Islamic faith for years, stretching from the Mamluk dynasty through the Ottoman Empire.
This was the precious capture at Rajastan. Had to reach the other-side of the Pichola lake inhabited by anti-social elements smoking pot and tobacco. Reaching there meant travelling by rickshaw and then 2 km by walk at 9:30PM. Quite an adventure...
If only I had felt a bit secure, I would have wanted to experiment a bit more with the night shots. Probably an HDR by night.
