Compound Eyes ( Faceted Eyes )
View allAll Photos Tagged compound
This dragonfly landed on a tree branch just ahead of me at Koll. I often see them on reeds and tall grass, but haven't seen tree
branches, 6 feet off the ground!
Any time I shoot dragonflies, my ultimate goal is to see the compound eyes, and a few of the shots of this one did reveal them (enlarge for detail)
I believe when these tree trunks felled out years ago remain a bit on the wayside, then they will eventually rush and fall into compost. Due to the dryness and, along the excessive bark beetle infestation of the trees, many trees had to be pleased and the wooden offer is just too big.
As you may have (not) noticed I am a little behind the wave with photography this year. But I am still here; just trying to do too many things at once…
This is for Sliders Sunday and my 100x project. It’s seven images of some CDs that I was clearing out, all lovely and iridescent in diffuse sunlight from a nearby window. They have been stacked in Affinity Photo in various ways and the results combined (mainly using the result of the Range operator stack).
The symmetry was created by flattening to a new separate layer, rotating half a turn and then blending it back (with Darken in this case).
I've done nothing with the colour or the contrast apart from the blending.
A quick bit of graphic art…
Hope you are well and happy!
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday and 100x :)

What to do on a rainy morning !!. Why not focus stack an unexpected visitor. This image was created using 10 photographs composited together using Zerene Stacker.
I used a bank of LED lights on the right hand side and a white card to the rear to bounce the light.
I used TriggerTrap to fire the camera to avoid camera shake.

It is virtually impossible to describe the typical appearance of the wolf Canis lupus. Wolves of many large arctic islands and Greenland usually appear snow-white from a distance, but closer up often reveal grey, black, or reddish shades. Wolves of northern North America and Eurasia vary in colour. A single pack may contain animals that are black, shades of grey-brown, and white. Wolves in the heavily forested areas of eastern North America are more uniform in colour. They are often a grizzled grey-brown, similar to some German shepherd dogs.

Shimizu-mon is a gate to the Kitanomaru compound of Edo Castle. The structure in the photo is Yagura-mon (櫓門) meaning the gate with turret. It is combined with the smaller Kourai-mon (高麗門) meaning Korean Gate to form the Masugata enclosure to check the visitor.
It was originally constructed in 1607 along with the Kitanomaru compound and repaired in 1658 after the Meireki Fire in 1657. It remains largely intact since then including not only the Masugata enclosure but also the stone steps leading to the Kitanomaru compound.
I believe it is the best preserved gate of Edo Castle.
Kitanomaru was developed as a residencial area for important Tokugawa clan members. It was converted to a military base after Meiji Restoration. It was converted to Kitanomaru Park after WW II installed with the Budokan concert hall and a few museums. Unlike other parts of Edo Castle that are managed by Imperial Household Agency, Kitanomaru is managed by Tokyo Prefecture.
The tall building with a telecommuication tower is Chiyoda City Hall. Ciyoda City is one of the 23 municipalities that constitute Tokyo in the narrow sense. It occupies the most central location in the capital of Japan.
Wespe
Nachdem die Wespe fast ertrunken war, blieb sie einige Zeit still in dieser Position. Das gab mir Gelegenheit für viele Makroaufnahmen. Die Augen dieser Tiere sind faszinierend.
Alternative shot of the Main Shrine of Izumo Taisha. It is believed to be the residence of the enshrined gods, namely, Ookuninushi and his family members.
Shintou architectures are known to preserve original Japanese architectural traditions better than Buddhist architectures that were influenced by Korean and Chinese architectures. Although half-hidden by the walls, residences for the gods in the compound are constructed as stilt houses with a ladder. In this sense, they resemble the houses by the Yeak Laom Lake.
Architects point out that Japanese houses are designed to be well ventilated in order to be comfortable in humid summer by sacrificing protection against the cold in winter. In my opinion, it would be an influence of the Austroasiatic people, which came with the rice cultivation.
Rice cultivation in Japan started in Kyuushuu Island in the west around the 10th century B.C. and spread nationwide except for northern Honshuu and Hokkaidou by the 3rd century B.C., which roughly coincides with the period of Austroasiatic expansion. The style of earthen ware had drastically changed as rice cultivation spread.
This is the last photo of the consolation and gleaning of the year 2024.
Compound of Kenchouji as seen from the Sanmon gate. Kenchouji was originally built in 1253 but has been rebuilt several times.
The architecture in the right is Butsuden (仏殿), in which the statue of Ksitigarbha is housed. Since it was moved from a Tokugawa mausoleum, its architectural style is different from other architectures in the compound.
The one in the middle is Hattou (法堂) that is installed with the fasting Buddha and the painting of the dragon in the cloud. It is the largest wooden architecture in Kamakura completed in 1825.
Karamon (唐門) or Chinese Gate in the left is the gate of Houjou (方丈) that is the main building of the temple. The gate was moved from the same mausoleum as Butsuden. Houjou was moved from the same temple as the Soumon gate, i.e. Hanjuuzanmai'in (般舟三昧院) in Kyoto.
The building behind Hattou is Shoin (書院) or Study.
We made a stop at a marina along our way traveling both Highway 3A and the No. 6. After parking, I went to the end of the marina to get a photo of the very interesting wooden fence and water break.
It was then we noticed the compound fires on a distant mountain and realized the smoke we had come through was from that area.
I wanted to make the shot relevant with a blend of elements in its own structure. So, the outside of the fence along with the distant fires, combined seemingly unrelated subjects forming a more connected story.

INDONESIEN, Java, hinduistische Tempelanlage Prambanan
Candi Prambanan (auch: Candi Rara Jonggrang) ist die größte hinduistische Tempelanlage Indonesiens und einer der größten hinduistischen Tempel in Südostasien. Sie befindet sich etwa 18 km östlich von Yogyakarta auf der Insel Java. Charakteristisch ist die hohe und spitze Bauform, die typisch für hinduistische Tempel ist, sowie die strenge Anordnung zahlreicher Einzeltempel um das 47 m hohe Hauptgebäude in der Mitte.
Errichtet wurde Prambanan um das Jahr 850, entweder unter Rakai Pikatan, einem König von Mataram, oder unter Balitung Maha Sambu während der Sanjaya-Dynastie. Schon bald nach seiner Fertigstellung wurde der Tempel verlassen und begann zu verfallen. Die Tempelanlage wurde 1991 von der UNESCO als Weltkulturerbe anerkannt.
Prambanan or Rara Jonggrang translit. Rara Jonggrang) is a 9th-century Hindu temple compound in Central Java, Indonesia, dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu) and the Transformer (Shiva). The temple compound is located approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) northeast of the city of Yogyakarta on the boundary between Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces.[1]
The temple compound, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia, and one of the biggest in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu architecture, and by the towering 47-metre-high (154 ft) central building inside a large complex of individual temples. Prambanan attracts many visitors from around the world.
