A close-up framing of an ancient statue depicting Thutmose III with noble facial features, youthful and smiling face, a hallmark of his reign's artistic standard.
The statue is noted for its exceptionally high quality and soft, human-like features, representing a peak in the artistic standards of the mid-18th Dynasty.
Wearing a nemes headdress and a ceremonial beard, stylistic features characteristic of Egyptian pharaohs. The tight centered composition filling the frame with the statue's details allows for an appreciation of the sculptural artistry and the preserved features.
The statue is dramatically lit, with a strong, directional light source from the front and slightly to the left, creating prominent shadows that emphasize the contours of the face, headdress, and beard. The background is dark, isolating the subject and drawing the viewer's attention to the statue.
The figure's face is serene, with distinct eyes, nose, and lips. The shoulders are broad, and the upper part of a broad collar or necklace is visible around the neck and shoulders.
The lighting highlights the smooth, polished surface of the stone, while also revealing subtle textures in the headdress and beard. The intricate details of the headdress stripes and the braided ceremonial beard are clearly visible.
The discovery of this statue in 1904 was part of the Karnak Cachette, one of the largest caches of statues ever found, containing artifacts from Egypt's Dynastic Age.
Crafted from greywacke, a type of sandstone. Greywacke was a commonly used material for sculptures in ancient Egypt due to its durability and fine grain.
A monochromatic or near-monochromatic color scheme, dominated by shades of grey and black, emphasizes the form and texture of the stone sculpture and contributes to a sense of power and serenity.
Taken from the Luxor Museum, a fascinating insight into the history of Luxor and ancient Egyptian civilization.
Established in 1975, it holds a carefully curated selection of wonderful artifacts from the Theban area in excellent preservation state.

Talla románica del Cristo de Santa Tigridia, del siglo XII. Crucificado de cuatro clavos, sus hieráticas facciones y los pliegues de sus ropas nos alertan del dramatismo “indolente” tan propio de este estilo artístico medieval, donde el objetivo es resaltar más la majestad del Redentor que sus padecimientos por la pasión.
Romanesque carving of the Christ of Santa Tigridia, from the 12th century. Crucified with four nails, his hieratic features and the folds of his clothes alert us to the "indolent" drama so typical of this medieval artistic style, where the objective is to highlight more the majesty of the Redeemer than his sufferings for passion.
Museum for international Expressionism in one of Rotterdam’s most beautiful villas. The Chabot Museum has an important collection of works by Dutch expressionist Henk Chabot (1894-1949) and is housed in one of Rotterdam’s most beautiful villas. The peaceful homely atmosphere of this listed monument built in 1938 does perfect justice to Chabot’s paintings and sculptures and to works by his contemporaries and present-day kindred spirits. Expressionism and the inter-war period are central to the museum’s temporary exhibitions. The gardens surrounding the building and the other villas scattered around Museum Park are part of an oasis of green in the very centre of Rotterdam. THE VILLA
The striking white villa was designed in 1938 by architect G.W. Baas, who worked many years for the renowned architects Brinkman & Van der Vlugt (known for the monumental Van Nelle Factories, the Feijenoord Stadium and the Sonneveld House in Rotterdam). Baas left the completion to architect L. Stokla when he was appointed as the building coordinator of the Kröller- Müller Museum at the Hoge Veluwe.
The villa in modernist style was initially built as a private residence for the Kraaijeveld family. Distinguishing features of the house are light and airy spaces, a typical openness to the garden and a unique view of the Museumpark and its surroundings. A visit to the homely, light and elegant Chabot Museum combines modern art, architecture and history.

Bryce Canyon, UT
The overcast and intermittent rain in the low southwestern deserts made for days of frustration with little end in sight. The system was stalled, no breaks in the canopy, no good for photography. I laid out my Indian Country map and plotted a course north, where maybe I’d find snow in the higher deserts. It bore out. Fresh snow had moved through Zion and past the Paunsaugunt Plateau, and I arrived at Bryce as the storm petered out. I followed someone else’s trail through the forest thinking I had a shortcut to the Rim Trail, and continued on like an idiot after it was obvious they had turned back, snow to my knees and looking for oxygen in my exertion at 8000 feet. Thankfully I brought micro spikes, and needed them when I reached the beaten path, frozen and refrozen, and under the fresh inches today. There is clarity in the air after rain or snow, or so it seems. I’ve heard that the precipitation picks up dust particles, that some kind of ionization takes place effectively cleaning the air and increasing visibilty. Is it what we see, or how we see it? We learn through the lens of what came behind us, not what is ahead. And yet, some directions we look in are clearer than others. An undecided sky let the afternoon sun peekaboo features in the landscape. It dappled the horizon in degrees of shadow and light. Beyond Boat Mesa, Canaan and Tablet Top, some 30 miles away, were alight with rising mists where perhaps the storm still brewed. Beyond them is where I will head tomorrow.

Kampong Glam (Singapore's Muslim Quarter) features many early shophouse style architecture (c. 1840s–1900s), characterized by
narrow, two-story, low-ceilinged structures with minimal plaster ornamentation. These conserved buildings often feature five-foot ways with arched walkways, French windows with louvered shutters, and, today, are renowned for vibrant murals, colorful facades, and independent boutique shops.
These are some of the earliest, most intimate shophouses in Singapore, with many just over 4 meters wide.
Gazetted as part of the Kampong Glam Conservation Area in 1989, these buildings maintain their historical structure while being adapted for modern retail, cafes, and restaurants.
As we were taking off from Martin State Airport, we had a nice view of Wilson Point there that sticks out towards the Chesapeake Bay. I marked on the photo where my Dad's house is located. Also marked some other features in the photo like downtown Baltimore, etc.
Just about all the homes there on the end of Wilson Point ended up with water in them when Hurricane Isabel came up the East Coast. You can see how easily that thin peninsula does not provide a lot of protection from water being blown in from across the large bay.

Sastrugi
Sastrugi, or zastrugi, are features formed by erosion of snow by wind. They are found in polar regions, and in snowy, wind-swept areas of temperate regions, such as frozen lakes or mountain ridges. Sastrugi are distinguished by upwind-facing points, resembling anvils, which move downwind as the surface erodes. These points usually lie along ridges parallel to the prevailing wind; they are steep on the windward side and sloping to the leeward side. Smaller irregularities of this type are known as ripples (small, ~10 mm high) or wind ridges.
Large sastrugi are troublesome to skiers and snowboarders. Traveling on the irregular surface of sastrugi can be very tiring, and can risk breaking equipment—ripples and waves are often undercut and the surface is hard and unforgiving, with constant minor topographic changes between ridge and trough.
Etymology
The words sastrugi and zastrugi are Russian-language plurals; the singular is zastruga. The form sastruga started as the German-language transliteration of the Russian word заструга (plural: заструги).
A Latin-type analogical singular sastrugus is used in various writings on exploration of the South Pole, including Robert Falcon Scott's expedition's diaries and Ernest Shackleton's The Heart of the Antarctic.
Formation mechanism
White and black colors on sastrugi are not lights and shadows, they demonstrate difference in radioreflectivity of snow deposits on the windward and leeward sides of a sastruga.
Under the action of steady wind, free snow particles accumulate and drift like the sand grains in barchan dunes, and the resulting drifting snow shapes are also popularly referred to as barchans. Inuit of Canada call them kalutoqaniq. When winds slacken, the drifted formations consolidate via sublimation and recrystallization. Subsequent winds erode kalutoqaniq into the sculptured forms of sastrugi. Inuit call large sculpturings kaioqlaq and small ripples tumarinyiq. Further erosion may turn kaioqlaq back into drifting kalutoqaniq. An intermediate stage of erosion is mapsuk, an overhanging shape. On the windward side of a ridge, the base erodes faster than the top, producing a shape like an anvil tip pointing upwind.
On sea ice
Sastrugi are more likely to form on first-year sea ice than on multiyear ice. First-year ice is smoother than multiyear ice, which allows the wind to pass uniformly over the surface without topographic obstructions. Except during the melt season, snow is dry and light in climates cold enough for sea ice, allowing the snow to be easily blown and create sastrugi parallel to the wind direction. The locations of sastrugi are fixed by March in the northern hemisphere and may be linked to the formation of melt ponds. Melt ponds are more likely to form in the depressions between sastrugi on first-year ice.

Excerpt from conservationhamilton.ca:
Phoenix Creek Sink: We can see the water sinking underground here. Scientists have tested the water and know that this is the same stream we saw spring up at Pottruff Spring.
It is difficult to guess the course the water took to get from here to there because it travels underground and we cannot see it flow. But, we can look at the evidences of water on the surface and make hypotheses.
One way scientists can tell if water has flown underground is by checking the water’s temperature. In the summer, the spring water will be colder than water from a surface stream because the sun will not warm it up as it flows underground. In the winter, the spring water will be warmer because the cold air will not have chilled it, as it did the surface water.
This view looks across Yellowstone Lake from the shores Sedge Bay along the East Entrance Road In Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The hill on the left side of the photo is Steamboat Point. One close inspection of the photo, steam can be seen rising from fumaroles at the base of the hill just above the lake. These fumaroles are some of the first thermal features encountered by visitors who enter the park from the East Entrance. Fumaroles are vents or openings at the surface where volcanic gases and vapors are emitted. Faint to loud roars and hissing can be heard as the gas escapes the vent. Most of the vapor emitted by fumaroles is steam, formed as groundwater circulates deeply through heated rock. The water vapor mixes with volcanic gases given off by magma deep below in Yellowstone’s caldera. These volcanic gases include sulfur compounds, such as various sulfur oxides and hydrogen sulfide which accounts for the sulfur or “rotten egg smell” visitors may notice. There are no geysers that erupt water here. The fumaroles at Steamboat Point are some of the thermal features associated with the Marys Bay hydrothermal explosion crater on the side of Yellowstone Lake. There are several such hydrothermal explosion craters scattered across Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. They range from tens of feet to more than a mile across. This one at Marys Bay is not only the largest hydrothermal explosion crater documented in Yellowstone but it is also the largest in the world. It measures 1.5 miles (2.6 km) in diameter and forms an embayment on the north side of Lake Yellowstone. The crater, which formed 13,800 years ago, may have been the result of several separate explosions over a short period of time. The cause or trigger for these hydrothermal explosions are not fully understood but pressure release due to glacial melting, earthquakes, or rapid changes in lake levels could be significant factors. Geological studies have found that these large, violent hydrothermal events are independent of associated volcanism. In the past 16,000 years, none of these events have been followed by an eruption of magma. The deeper magma systems seen unaffected by these sometimes spectacular steam explosions in their overlying hydrothermal systems.
The hill across the lake just beyond its western shore is The Elephant Back. Most of the top of this hill lies above 8600 feet above sea level (ASL) with the culmination at 8731 feet ASL. Elephant Back is typical of the topography in the center of the Yellowstone Caldera.
I finally managed to get back to the river this week - chasing the last of a fickle summer whose mornings now carry a hint of autumn. Until I get to review these images; here’s one from the same spot I returned to, taken last autumn – they have in common a play with colour and texture, the reflected leaves painted almost as brushstrokes. In this case, I’ve pushed the interpretation during processing towards the abstract, but quite like the result so I guess I’ll just have to print it to see if it makes the mark. Have a lovely weekend.

Number five in this series features Stuart, a small Iowa town in Adair County with around 1,800 residents. The old downtown area in Stuart has some lovely historic buildings, with trendy retail shops and varied dining options. For example, Doe A Deer is a home goods store offering kitchenware, specialty foods and other gifts. Next door, the Maven Blush Boutique offers chic and stylish women's apparel and accessories.
Developed with Darktable 4.8.0.
About the series: Life in a small Midwestern town often means a slower pace of life, close-knit communities, and a strong connection to the land and agriculture. Residents typically have a strong sense of pride in their hometown and a friendly, neighborly attitude. Small towns usually have limited employment and entertainment options, but the tradeoff is typically a lower cost of living and a quieter, more peaceful environment. Presented in black and white at night, I hope to capture the essence of a few small Iowa towns in this series. Series Album: flic.kr/s/aHBqjBWTai

A picturesque tall white-harled house on the north side of the junction between Back Causeway and The Cross in Culross (W FIfe), The Study dates from c.1610. This is said to be where Bishop Leighton of Dunblane (1611-84), who lived nearby in Bishop Leighton's House, composed his sermons. Built as a merchant's house, next to Culross Palace one of the finest in Culross, the building was acquired by the National Trust for Scotland in the 1930s. It was renovated by Ian G. Lindsay and Partners in 1959, winning a Civic Trust Award in 1962. The Study is now A-listed and is open to the public for guided tours.
The building is L-plan and comprises a three-storey main block, with a tower facing the street which rises higher. This contains a turnpike stair, with the upper stage corbelled out and containing the actual study. The orange pantiled roofs feature crow-stepped gables and catslide dormers. The windows to the front feature lattice leadwork and wooden shutters below, allowing the windows to open. Inside there are original fireplaces and timber panelling, while the beamed ceiling of the first-floor room is a reconstruction of the 1960s, brightly painted with fruit and flowers in homage to its 17th century forerunner.

This sculpture depicts the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa seated at a table outside the historic Café A Brasileira, in Lisbon’s Chiado district, a place he frequented during his lifetime. Cast in bronze by Portuguese sculptor Lagoa Henriques, the monument was inaugurated in 1988 to mark the centenary of Pessoa’s birth. One of the most distinctive features of the sculpture is the empty chair beside the poet. Conceived as an integral part of the work, it invites visitors to sit next to Pessoa, share an imaginary conversation, enjoy a coffee, or simply spend a moment in his company. In this photograph, the absence of people reinforces that silent invitation, making the empty chair almost as important as the poet himself. (chatGPT)
Conversación pendiente
La escultura representa al poeta portugués Fernando Pessoa, sentado ante una mesa del histórico Café A Brasileira, en el barrio lisboeta de Chiado, lugar que frecuentaba habitualmente. La obra, realizada en bronce por el escultor portugués Lagoa Henriques, fue inaugurada en 1988 con motivo del centenario del nacimiento de Pessoa. Uno de los elementos más interesantes de la composición es la silla vacía que acompaña al poeta. Concebida como parte integral de la obra, invita al visitante a sentarse junto a Pessoa para compartir una conversación imaginaria, tomar un café o simplemente disfrutar de su compañía. En esta imagen, la ausencia de personas refuerza esa invitación silenciosa y convierte la silla vacía en un protagonista tan importante como el propio poeta. (chatGPT)

Excerpt from conservationhamilton.ca:
Overview: Water mixes with carbon dioxide to make carbonic acid; the acid responsible for dissolving carbonate rocks like limestone.
This stream has been flowing underground for several meters through the channels it dissolved in the bedrock. This spring is the point where it "recharges‟ to the surface.
This isn't "pure water‟. Aside from the man-made chemicals it probably contains, it also has naturally occurring chemicals in it, like carbon dioxide.
Carbon Dioxide can be found in the air and in the soil. It is a natural gas created by humans, animals, and plants. When we breathe, we add carbon dioxide to the air. When plants
decompose, they add carbon dioxide to soil.
When rain falls through the air or percolates through the soil, it picks up the carbon dioxide and becomes carbonic acid; the same acid you find in soda pop. This acidic water is what dissolves the dolostone and makes karst. Pure water could not do it.
Depending on the time of year and the amount of rain, the stream pH will be neutral or very slightly acidic.

This image features the Green Ibis (Mesembrinibis cayennensis), captured in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia. Known for its iridescent green and purple feathers, the ibis stands out beautifully against the vibrant backdrop of the lush Colombian environment. The bird was perched delicately on a tree branch, where its sleek silhouette contrasted against the soft light filtering through the canopy. The calm, tranquil atmosphere of the scene was a perfect match for capturing the bird’s elegant form and reflective plumage.
In terms of technique, I used a Canon R5 with a 800mm f/11 lens and a 1.4x extender to maintain the required reach while preserving image clarity. The f/16 aperture ensured that both the bird and its environment were in focus, while the ISO 1600 helped balance the low light of the forest. The resulting sharpness and depth allow the vibrant plumage and the bird’s intricate textures to come through vividly. Capturing such a shot in the wild, with the ibis being perfectly positioned, required patience, but the payoff was worth it.

Now Playing Defying Gravity
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes, and leap...
It's time to try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
You can't bring me down
I'm through accepting limits 'cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change, but 'til I try, I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I've lost
Well if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
You can't bring me down
Unlimited, our future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy
I know it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear someday I'll be
Flying so high
Kiss me goodbye
So if you care to find me, look to the Western sky!
As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free
To those who ground me, take a message back from me!
Tell them how I am defying gravity
I'm flying high, defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
