The Nuestra Señora del Pilar cathedral basilica is the largest baroque church in Spain and one of the most important temples in the country. Basilica of Nuestra Señora del Pilar was founded in the place of the first Christian history of the apparitions of Our Lady. It appeared on the pole, hence the name of Our Lady at the Column.
It is considered to be the first Marian shrine in the world because it has a column in it (Spanish el pilar), in which Mary, living in Jerusalem, appeared in the body, appearing in the body of the Apostle James on January 2, 40. The shrine center is a jasper column with a 15th-century figurine of Madonna and Child. Madonna del Pilar is a patron saint of the Spanish and her holiday on 12 October is the national holiday of Spain.
At first there was only a small chapel. The present form was obtained by extension in the years 1681-1754.

Bazylika katedralna Nuestra Señora del Pilar (Matki Bożej na Kolumnie) jest największą świątynią barokową w Hiszpanii i jedną z najważniejszych świątyń w tym kraju. Bazylika Nuestra Señora del Pilar powstała w miejscu pierwszych w historii chrześcijaństwa objawień Matki Bożej. Objawiła się ona na słupie, stąd nazwa Matka Boża na Kolumnie.
Jest uważana za pierwszą na świecie świątynię maryjną, ponieważ zachowuje się w niej kolumnę (hiszp. el pilar), na której według tradycji Maryja - żyjąc jeszcze w Jerozolimie - objawiła się w ciele apostołowi Jakubowi 2 stycznia 40 roku. Ośrodkiem sanktuarium jest jaspisowa kolumna z XV-wieczną figurką Madonny z Dzieciątkiem. Madonna del Pilar jest patronką Świata Hiszpańskiego (hiszp. Hispanidad), a jej święto w dniu 12 października jest świętem narodowym Hiszpanii.
Początkowo znajdowała się tu tylko mała kaplica. Obecną formę uzyskała dzięki rozbudowie w latach 1681-1754.
Take one window screen (I thought it worked well with the fork) place it on a kind of white folding plastic table in the morning sunlight (see first comment for my studio), on top of it add a small flat bottomed glass Pyrex bowl, squirt in some dish washing soap and water (just a little not a lot), stir with a spoon in a sort of whisking motion and admire the cool bubbles and patterns! I was hoping for some cool psychedelic colors but didn't really get much color except blue so I processed in B&W. I was pleasantly surprised to see the sharpness of the lens stopped down to f/16. After this I shot an energy drink can and it came out tack sharp with great color contrast!
I estimate the scale of this image to be under 1 inch, if you look to the left, you'll see a "0" which is the last digit of the model number, it measures app. 0.1 inch tall.

Kind of a weird thing too that takes me WAY back to before there were PCs and Macs w/MacDraw. To a time when central computers were the thing and if you wanted briefing charts, you went to the graphics department. Charts could be made but you had to write code in BASIC to control a plotter. Computer generated images were just starting to show up and for fun I coded a program that generated these sphere looking images. It was all about coming up with the equations to modify the radius such that at the edge, it matched the radius of the circle but as you got closer to the center, the radius approached infinity and you got a flat line. The increments were advanced in very small amounts and in effect the plotter drew a 'curved line". I guess what comes around goes around and in case you know early office computers it was an HP9845C workstation.

Fascinating concertina extension service cables for one side of a moveable pair of buildings (on tracks) that services airplane wings. The top one for compressed air is broken, while the bottom one for electricity is intact.
The sun after the rain is much beautiful than the sun before the rain.

Here we see a Route 215 pass it's usual terminus (a Route 379 is just entering the stand), and head the few hundred meters outside London into Essex for the seasonal extension to Lea Valley Campsite. The back of the Essex boundary sign can just be seen on the far left.
It's a rotten journey on foot as the pavements end, and it is a set of bends with ditches and little room for walking on a very busy road.

España - Lugo - Ribadeo - Playa de las Catedrales
***
ENGLISH:
Beach of the Cathedrals is on the northwest coast of Spain. It is the name given by the tourism industry to Beach of the Holy Waters. The beach is located in the Ribadeo municipality, in the province of Lugo (Galicia), on the Cantabric coast, and it lies about ten kilometres to the west of the town of Ribadeo. Its name is derived from its cliff formations. It has been declared a Natural Monument by the regional Ministry for the Environment of the Xunta de Galicia.
The characteristic features of the beach are its natural arches and caves, which can be seen only at low tide. During high tide, the beach appears small, but still suitable for swimming. During low tide the size of its cliffs and sea caves is more apparent, ranging from small cracks on the rock to big caves whose roofs have collapsed due to the erosion of the waves.
At low tide, there is access to a sand deposit delimited by a rocky wall made from slate and schist forming 30 meters arches resembling cathedral flying buttresses, large caves, sand corridors between rocky blocks, and other geological features. Particularly low tides create access to nearby beaches through the sand extension. As the coast stretch is almost horizontal, the water covers the beach again very quickly.

ESPAÑOL:
La Playa de Las Catedrales está enclavada en la costa de la provincia de Lugo (Galicia), también conocida como La Mariña lucense. El lugar en el que se ubica pertenece al Ayuntamiento de Ribadeo, limítrofe al este con el Principado de Asturias y al oeste con el Ayuntamiento de Barreiros.
Fue bautizada originalmente como la playa de Aguas Santas. Sin embargo, es conocida por todos como la Playa de Las Catedrales debido a las gigantescas rocas en forma de colosales arcos y torres, muy similares a los vistos en los templos cristianos.
Lo característico de la playa son los arcos y las cuevas, solo apreciables a pie de playa durante la bajamar. Durante la pleamar la playa es relativamente pequeña, de fina arena y sigue siendo adecuada para el baño. Es interesante ver la playa con la marea alta recorriendo la parte superior de los acantilados en dirección oeste-este hacia la playa de Esteiro y verla con marea baja sobre la arena de la playa. Durante la marea baja puede accederse a un largo arenal delimitado por una pared rocosa de pizarra y esquisto erosionada en formas caprichosas: arcos de más de treinta metros de altura que recuerdan a arbotantes de una catedral, grutas de decenas de metros, pasillos de arena entre bloques de roca y otras curiosidades. Con las mareas vivas, en las que las mareas bajan más y suben más que las mareas normales, incluso se puede acceder a las playas vecinas por la arena, aunque eso sí se debe tener precaución y volver antes de que comience a subir la marea ya que el nivel del mar sube rápidamente puesto que se trata de un tramo de costa prácticamente horizontal perteneciente a la Rasa Cantábrica. La playa tiene este relieve debido al efecto de la erosión del viento y del agua salada.

As always thank you for your lovely comments.
For me, I enjoy finding a mushroom emerging from the lush moss and weeds, especially when I have a longish lens. Using it with an extension tube creates a soft, mystical look, capturing the scene's ethereal beauty. The interplay of textures - the infocused mushroom cap, the fuzzy moss, the tangled weeds - makes for a visually striking composition, well, to me. I find it necessary to adjust the EV.
A little rose bush blooming nicely. Manually focus stacked with two extension tubes, gridded beauty dish camera right.
I posted a colour photo a month or so back of another one of these little yellow flowers that I took with a Tair 135mm lens. Surprisingly there are still one or two of them still in flower so this was taken a week or two back with a Pentacon AV projector lens and using an extension tube. I always find that the look of these bokeh shots changes completely when colour is removed from them - neither better nor worse, just different.
