This kid was amazing. He happened to walk past us at the right time, so the guys asked if he'd be our guide. He was game, and flew up the hills faster than any of us could go. His local tongue was different from any language we could speak, so chatter between us was minimal. He just chewed on what I'm pretty sure was some kind of wild rhubarb that grew everywhere. Amazing kid.
Hasnain, Munawar, Sajid and I went to Sadpara Village one day to hike up. I wanted to get to the top, but really, the top was waaaaay too far away. They told me stories about the wild animals you'd see up there, though, bears and tigers and leopards (or close enough), and I just wanted to go even more.
They said it's pretty awesome camping up there, especially because the oxygen's thinner, so you spend your whole time gasping for breathe. They said this as a good thing. I totally get it, though, and would be excited too.
This is a pair of cartilage chain earrings- the one connects from the cartilage to the lobe and the other dangles from the lobe.
This style is a bit different from what I usually make, though, because the top of the cartilage earring has a figure-8 shaped wire; this is so that it can be slipped onto a barbell earring. The little loop is for in case the attached loop is too large. Fingers crossed that it fits!
The earrings are made using enameled copper wire in green and blue and bright aluminum wire (the silver color). The figure 8 is also made from the aluminum wire.
At the end of the earrings are two round dark blue glass beads and a larger lighter blue glass beads with a light blue, green, and black design. The earring posts are silver-colored metal. The entire ear-piece is about 3 1/2" (8.9 cm) long from the wire figure 8 to the bottom bead (this is the shorter chain measurement), and is 2" (5.1 cm) long from the figure 8 to the earring post.
I still can not believe how different both my children look. I absoultely love it. One has blue eyes the other brown. One has my husband's hairline the other has my father's hairline. The mouths are different. The eye shapes are different. The noses are different. Alixe has my mother's nose.
I can't wait to see what Alixe looks like at Max's age.

I've been feeling a bit different lately. My sight has been poor also. And my neck has been hurting like hell.
I asked my parents to take a look but they couldn't see any difference.
Weird :(
(Lucis filter in photoshop, hence the "hairy looking back"),
Today's M340 has CN 2791 leading. At the time this was one of only a few of these units with PTC and set up to lead. Here it's southbound through Oshkosh in early Oct '23.
METX MP36PH #405 leads an outbound into Western Avenue as another MP36 pushes a deadhead towards CUS. I can only imagine how different this would look when all 15 F40Cs were still active.
And i think not as well appointed as the Scania version even though i did prefer the carpet than wood floor the interior of the Integral Irizar I6. Photo taken 06/11/12
I don't typically do the song lyric thing, but I've heard E.T. at work several times and I think part of it fits Vera.
I FINALLY got my paws on Vera Tabray. I stalked both the Amazon and Walmart listings for her and checked them multiple times a day, only to get fed up when I heard of people finding her in stock on those same listings. (I've since left that board. I prefer a more helpful community.) FINALLY I happened to catch her on Amazon and ordered immediately.
She arrived yesterday and brightened up my horrible 10.5 hour double shift workday. I got to see her in her box in between shifts, then opened her when I got home. I was too tired to take pics, so I just did them now.
Vera is easily my favorite Novi. She's likely too over the top for a lot of people. She has butterfly-ish antennae and butterfly wings, but her wings are skeletal and include a tailbone. Her body is this lovely pearly peachy-pink fading into transparency at her hands, but her thighs are transparent and show silver bones underneath and then the same bones form her legs from the (unbending) knees down. She has adorable skeleton feet. She also has three glittering silver eyes with snake pupils and if you look at her pupils, you see tiny ghost faces. Then her outfit is simple and elegant until you get to the spinal cord bracelet.
Vera is a stunning blend of typically feminine things, like pink, butterflies, glitter and fairies, and horror elements like the 3 eyes, skeletal bits and ghost pupils.
Her pet Fibi is my favorite of the Novi pets, too. He's just adorable.
They hit it out of the park with this doll. Anne, Ina and Mimi are all awesome, too, and they follow the also awesome Malie and Tula. I hope the line continues, although I don't think they could ever top Vera!

The Sun is a ball of partially -- fully ionised gas, rotating on its axis, generating magnetic field, that bubbles up to the surface, breaking through and causing a wide range of dynamics within the corona. We often talk about flares and solar eruptions, since they can pose a very real threat to electronics and humans alike. The most energetic of these are, more often than not, sourced from active regions. Tight concentrations of magnetic field that can get twisted up until equilibrium is no longer possible.
Elsewhere on the Sun, one could consider the conditions relatively quiet - far less prone to eruptions and generally appear somewhat 'fluffy' in comparison, given the more diffuse emission from the cooler plasma hosted there. In the extreme, regions known as 'coronal holes', plasma is so diffuse and the magnetic field so un twisted that the emission is significantly less - they could be defined as this exact absence of dynamics, comparatively.
These observations taken in April of 2025 capture, in a single field-of-view, from left to right, the active, intermediate, quiet, and coronal hole conditions. Perfectly highlighting how the Sun manages to not only produce dramatically different conditions within the corona, but also positions them immediately next to one another in such a majestic way. These specific observations targetted this region as strong changes in physical properties over such a short distance within the solar corona are understood to drive the solar wind in some way. In the same breath, the solar wind that we measure in-situ to have been sourced from this region can tell us about what physically happened to the associated plasma. Fascinating!
To understand the Sun and the physics playing out, one has to fit these individual pieces together. What is it that governs these domains, on small and large spatial scales, and from seconds to minutes to hours to days to months, years, and beyond?

Back to Venice for a while!!
Detail of the inside of the Giorgio Franchetti Gallery at Ca' d'Oro, Venice day 5 of our Cosmos tour, October 4, 2012.
The typical Gothic architecture that characterises many buildings in the city and which culminates with the magnificent structure of Palazzo Ducale was characterised by an innovation that reached the city at the turn of the 15th century; it may have changed little in the actual building structure, but brought considerable changes to the decorative elements. Ca' D'Oro represents the highest and most complete example of this new wave of architecture. The building was built between 1421 and 1440 by Marino Contarini, a wealthy Venetian merchant, on the site where a Venetian Byzantine residence had previously stood. At the end of the 19th century, it became the property of Giovanni Meduna who made sweeping changes to the palazzo, completely unrelated to the original building. A Turinese Baron named Giorgio Franchetti purchased Ca D'Oro in 1894; he set about immediately to liberate it from the additions made by Meduna and restored the interior of the home as much as possible to its 15th century state. Franchetti added the beautiful mosaic to the floor in the ground floor portico, executed on the pattern of the mosaics in St. Mark's basilica, as well as the two-tone white and red marble decorations to the exterior walls. Baron Franchetti, who amassed an important collection of works of art, decided at the time he purchased Ca D’Oro that he wanted to make it a museum for his collections and the architecture of the palazzo. Then, World War I broke out and the Baron found himself in dire economic conditions; he decided to donate Ca' D'Oro and his collection to the city. The city administration carried on and financed his commitment to collecting and added other collections to the Franchetti treasures. The Baron was kept on as a consultant to city officials and worked together to make the Museum to what it is today.

Another house on Chongqing Dao, but wth different balconies: a small, rounded one on the second floor and a larger one above it on the third floor.
Wudadao (五大道), or the Five Main Avenues, are an affluent and historic section of Tianjin, China, in the Heping district just south of downtown. They five main avenues (streets more than avenues) are: Chongqing, Changde, Dali, Munan, and Machang. They take their names from cities in southwestern China.
This is a small, eminently walkable neighborhood (nearest subway station is Xiaobailou on line 1) that is most renowned for being eclectic. It is primarily residential, but sprinkled throughout the neighborhood are quite a few chic restaurants, trendy boutiques, a few sculptures, and a small park. The avenues have an east-west alignment and – from at least two of them – there are nice views of the Tianta Television Tower to the west that can be framed by the tree-lined avenues.
Wudadao is a photographers’ delight. Architecturally, it has a smattering of quite a few different styles: Renaissance, Greek, Gothic, and Romantic. The area designates 230 buildings as historic with those architectural styles from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. About 50 of the houses have been lived in by local and national celebrities which also adds to the quirky attractiveness.
Strolling the avenues with a camera is a wonderful way to spend a morning or afternoon. Stop in and grab a bite at any of the restaurants in the neighborhood. (I’m personally quite fond of Chateau 35 on Changde Dao which is one of the best steakhouses in Tianjin.)
If you are tired of strolling – though the area isn’t terribly large – you also have the option of renting bikes to ride around (standard, tandem, or “bike carts”) or even touring the area by horse and buggy. You will most certainly run into photographers like me trolling the streets and probably be pleasantly surprised by the area.

Combining different aspects of the landscape through reflection achieved through holding a prism in front of the lens.
9h30, je décide de repartir après cette matinée photo bien remplie quand soudain au détour d'un argousier, je me retrouve nez à nez avec une femelle mouflon et son jeune. Je suis debout, la cagoule retirée, ils sont à une dizaine de mètres à peine. Alors que je m'attends à une fuite immédiate, comme souvent avec le mouflon, la mère est étonnamment calme à la différence de l'agneau, très perplexe. Elle finit même par... se coucher. L'agneau l'imite aussitôt, et tandis que la brebis est d'un zen absolu (au point de s'endormir), le petit ne me quitte pas du regard...
