This image from Sentinel-2A on 13 August features Cairo, in Egypt.
The capital of Egypt, Cairo is one of the largest cities in Africa. It has existed for over 1000 years on the same spot on the Nile River banks. Located in the northeastern part of the country, Cairo is the passage to the Nile delta.
The Nile River is the father of African rivers and the longest river in the world. With a length of some 6650 km, it rises south of the equator and flows northwards through northeastern Africa, draining into the Mediterranean Sea.
The river is the cause of the strong contrasts we see in the image. The river’s fertility allowed the Egyptians to thrive despite the arid surrounding desert. It has always delivered the necessary water to transform the desert into a lush garden, where produce such as tomatoes, potatoes, sugar cane, rice and even cotton are grown. The Nile Delta, in fact, ranks among the world’s most fertile farming areas.
The sharp borderline between green fields and the yellow–brown desert is clear. Notice how the area is greener on the west side – the terrain is flatter, so more easily irrigated than the higher terrain to the east.
The city of Cairo shows striking contrasts. Along the well-irrigated shoreline, the green reveals the thick vegetation, while the grey areas denote the dense city. In the older areas to the east, however, beneath the foothills of the Eastern Desert and the rocky Muqaṭṭam Hills, brown and ochre are the dominant colours.
The city continuously mixes ancient and new. The Pyramids of Giza, erected on a rocky plateau on the west bank of the Nile, stand at the southwestern edge of the city, while the world’s oldest surviving obelisk in the northeast marks the site of Heliopolis, a suburb of Cairo some 10 km from the city centre.
The 6th of October City, on the left side of the image, is a new city in the desert. It hosts students from various countries, as well as from Egypt, who study at its private universities.
Cairo’s various golf courses are also featured in this image, as well as the international airport, partly visible on the top right.
Sentinel 2-A has been in orbit since 23 June, and is a multispectral high-resolution imaging mission for land monitoring, to provide imagery of vegetation, soil and water cover, inland waterways and coastal areas.
This image is also featured on the Earth from Space video programme.

This was a really fun build. At its heart, it is the fruit of experimenting with various bubble canopies and arches. The 8x8 size canopy ended up working nicely for a 2 minifig cockpit. Though there may have been a way to hide the hinge assembly while maintaining an opening cockpit feature, I opted for a fixed canopy (and what I believe allowed for a more stable build). The cockpit module drops out the bottom for changing interior details.
The suspension arms started out as Part 2508 (Plate, Modified 1x2 with Long Towball), but they made the vehicle obscenely wide, so I opted for Part 3731 (Plate, Modified 2x2 with Towball). The "Y" hub in the wheels is stationary and the gears and outer wheel spin. The dune-buggy-ish look wasn't intentional, that's just sorta what it evolved into.
The Heritage Museum also features a vast display of natural gold specimens acquired from modern-day prospectors who are still very active in the Sierra Foothills. Visitors to the museum can purchase a wide variety of books and educational materials, as well as artifacts and souvenirs related to the Gold Rush era.

On this occasion I fell for the wily charms of a local prostitute. She asked for two quid for chips and a coffee whilst I asked for some photos for posterity in exchange! Not only is she a prostitute by profession but in this instance an Officer of Fair Trade ;O)
Despite her seemingly lax approach she is not unwise to the prying eyes of CCTV in the vicinity and does her best to avoid them whilst working.
Although local vice in the Holbeck/Sovereign Street area can be the object of scorn, I find the experience of meeting them, for some reason, personally upsetting!
But disregarding these observations, she seems happy in herself and agreed she is a part of local history as is any other tradesperson within Leeds.
One of the most interesting features of the built environment in this district was Trounce Alley. This thoroughfare was created by the architect Thomas Trounce in 1859, through his property between Broad and Government Streets, in response to the government's refusal to extend View Street to the waterfront.
Trounce Alley is a short stretch between Government and Broad Streets and has some resemblance to Maiden Lane in San Francisco in terms of on-of-a-kind shopping. At one entrance is W&J Wilson Clothiers, that has been at its present location on the corner since 1862, the same year Victoria was incorporated as a City.
This Alley was named after Victoria Pioneer Thomas Trounce. This is where Miners and Mariners once spent extra cash on the Ladies. The Alley is still lit by gas lamps and features (in season) nicely hung flower baskets

Assorted features in this view of the town's southern edge include (left-to-right) the Stevenage football ground Broadhall Way, Roaring Meg shopping area, the junction on the East Coast Line (turn left for Hertford) and what now seems to be called Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst.

The aftermath of a supernova, a stellar explosion, is usually a slowly fading cloud of hot gas. So when astronomers pointed NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory at the nearby galaxy Messier 83 (M83), they did not expect to find a population of supernova remnants, or the debris from these explosions, showing dramatic changes in their brightness.
The galaxy M83, located about 15 million light-years from Earth, is forming stars at a high rate. Researchers analyzed 14 years of Chandra data of the galaxy, spanning 2000 to 2014.
Using this extensive set of data, the researchers caught surprising variations in the X-ray brightness of sources previously identified as supernova remnants. The researchers expected supernova remnants older than a century or so to fade gradually in X-rays, but not change dramatically in brightness.
The team found that roughly half of the 22 X-ray sources associated with supernova remnants in their sample showed changes in X-ray brightness over the 14-year span of observations — a result that was completely unexpected.

J842TSC features in this photostream earlier on delivery to its new owners. It was wrapped, but in the end it did little work and was moved on fairly quickly. It can now be found on the south coast of England near Lewes after moving through two private owners.
One of the few redeeming features of some of the more modern buildings in Dublin, in my humble opinion at least, is that you can sometimes get reflections of the older and more interesting building that remain, as in this one at Westmoreland Street. Needless to say the modern edifice is a bank!!
Dames Cave is a 1.2 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Brooksville, Florida that features a cave and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
The Dames Cave area is located in the Citrus Tract portion of the Withlacoochee State Forest in Citrus County, Florida and are found on a western portion of the Brooksville Ridge physiographic region. This landscape is dominated by karst landforms including uvalas, dolines, solution valleys, and caves. Geologically, the caves are among the oldest in Florida.
The entrance trail to the Dames Caves is located off S Lecanto Hwy. Quite possibly there will be several cars already parked there, as these will be the only indicators that one of Florida's most unique and oldest cave systems is just a short jaunt off of this straight and narrow farm road. Parking is free, but is at your own risk, mainly because there are no designated parking spots. A short half-mile trail leads off into the Withlacoochee State Forest.
Once again, no trails are marked, but heading directly east will bring you to the opening of one of the most popular caves. Surrounded by several concrete posts and heavy gauge wire, the opening to Vandal Cave appears before your eyes. One of the best spot for pictures, this cave opening is actually an ancient roof collapse. Part of the roof is still connected and creates a land bridge that can be easily walked across by daring individuals. A small side cave allows access into the inner cave system. Once inside you can see why it is called Vandal Cave. Graffiti and other damage can be seen throughout, explaining why this cave system is so hard to find. Other smaller caves branch off from this Vandal Cave and range in a variety of difficulties of exploration from simple head ducking and flashlight exploring to belly-slinking and crawling through tight spots in the mud.

At the centre of Hull Old Town lies Holy Trinity Church. The city's main civic church and England's largest parish church by area was originally just a chapel of ease to All Saints Church in Hessle when it was begun. One of the first parts to be built, the transepts, were constructed largely out of brick, one of the earliest medieval structures to use this building material, lost since the days of the Romans. Building then continued in stages for over two hundred years, finishing with the completion of the tower in 1520. Internally, the church benefits from an abundance of light as well as a range of wonderful features from across the ages; from the 14th century marble font through to later periods such as Thomas Earle's memorial carvings, the grotesque creatures on the Victorian pew ends and up to the recent installation of a memorial stained glass to lost trawlermen. The church also houses England's largest parish church organ with around 4000 pipes.
Porcelain Basin, Norris Geyser Basin. These thermal features are Yellowstone's hottest, and most are quite acidic -- hence the barren landscape.
Probably because of the barren landscape and the less striking colors, it's my least favorite of the six "tourist" geyser basins.
The interior features a kitchen with sink and microwave, a bathroom with toilet and shower, a staircase with built-in shelving that leads to a lofted sleeping area, and a table and chair set that folds and stows on the wall to allow access down the narrow hallway.

This glazed ceramic bust by Cochiti Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz features a futuristic figure from his Revolt 1680/2180 universe, installed on a pedestal display at the New Mexico Museum of Art's Vladem Contemporary in Santa Fe.
This ceramic bust by Cochiti Pueblo artist Virgil Ortiz merges traditional Pueblo pottery motifs with futuristic, punk-inspired aesthetics:
Form & Crest: Displayed in profile on a white pedestal, the sculpture features a high-gloss finish and a striking crest of glossy black, bulbous, hair-like projections arranged in a mohawk configuration along the top and back of the head.
Surface Design & Motifs: The cream-white base is accented with dark slate-grey and black slip painting. A bold, horizontal black band crosses the eye level like a visor. Encircling the upper crown is a stylized design composed of repeating triangular points framing an inner loop motif. Vertical, brush-stroke striations sweep downward along the lower head and neck, suggesting flowing hair or facial markings.
Details & Setting: A dark, oval-shaped drop earring hangs from the stylized ear. The sculpture sits before expansive windows at the Vladem Contemporary museum, providing a bright, soft-lit backdrop of the surrounding outdoor landscape.

For more than twenty years, Virgil Ortiz (American, Cochiti Pueblo, b. 1969) has been developing Revolt 1680/2180, an expansive project that brings global attention to Po’pay, the Tewa leader who led the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 against Spanish occupation, and to the enduring strength of Pueblo culture.
Collaborating with lifelong friend Eric F. Garcia (American, b. 1968), the two artists spark a vital exchange: Pueblo and Spanish legacies weaving, colliding, and transforming through clay, imagery, and form—reclaiming the past and inviting us to witness the story reimagined, set ablaze with possibility. For the latest chapter, Continuum: Blindfall, First Strike, the two artists invite viewers into the epicenter of the Revolt.

The new mexico museum of art vladem contemporary, often just called the Vladem Contemporary by locals, stands as a vibrant, essential expansion of the New Mexico Museum of Art, offering Santa Fe and the wider Southwest a dedicated, state-of-the-art venue specifically designed to showcase the challenging, thought-provoking, and diverse world of contemporary art. It’s not just another gallery; it’s a dynamic cultural catalyst, firmly placing Santa Fe on the map as a serious destination for cutting-edge artistic expression, right alongside its historical charm.
The establishment of the new mexico museum of art vladem contemporary represents a pivotal moment for the New Mexico Museum of Art (NMMOA) and for Santa Fe itself. For decades, the NMMOA, housed in its iconic 1917 Pueblo Revival building on the Plaza, has been a beloved institution, a veritable treasure trove of New Mexico’s artistic legacy, stretching from the early 20th century to mid-century modernism. But, let’s be real, its historical architecture, while charming and significant, wasn’t exactly built for the scale, technology, or often unconventional demands of contemporary art. Think about it: massive installations, video art, performance pieces – they often need sprawling, adaptable spaces with high ceilings, controlled environments, and a certain industrial flexibility that a historic building just can’t easily provide. This was the fundamental “problem” that the Vladem Contemporary was designed to solve.

Just as my SHIPs in previous years, the Vahtary VI features a lot of stuff to play with. I tried packing even more play features into it, than into the Erinye and in the end 12 features came together. Below you can find a complete list and of course you can see all of them in the video.
I hope you like it and thanks again for your support!
The music track used in the video is „Star Fleet“ by A Pocket of Scores. I think the title is very fitting.
To have a better look at the whole ship, please go over to the main photo.
EDIT: Apparently Flickr has limited my video to 3:00 minutes, though it is a bit longer. One play feature is missing now. I will try to upload it to YouTube as soon as possible., so you can see everything.
EDIT: The full video is now also on YouTube.

The Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail features 40 sculptures along the way as well as the renowned Gray Rock historical site, the wonder of Horsetailer’s Gorge, the mystical Healing Circle and the glorious Lake Dunn. More sculptures are being added each year so keep your eyes out for new additions.
The Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail is a circuit starting in Aramac but is also accessible from Jericho. You can travel the loop either way and it covers a distance of approximately 200km.
Before you leave Aramac, take the time to find the giant scrap metal Red Roo that is situated at the town’s roo works.
How did the sculptures get there? Ask a local and you may be told an interesting story about a sheila with a few roos loose in the top paddock. In reality, the sculptures are the works of a local sculptor, Milynda Rogers, who did reside on a grazing property along the trail and decided she needed a platform to display her work. The result is one of the biggest, permanent, outdoor sculpture exhibitions in the world. She has combined her love of sculpture and incredible ability to turn junk into art to fulfil her wish to put a smile on the faces of the people who travel through one of the most beautiful and historical parts of Queensland.

Bust of Julia (A.D. 80) - Medium grain crystalline marble, Carrara marble for restoration. Boncompagni , Ludovisi Collection - Palazzo Altemps - Museo Nazionale Romano - Rome
L'analisi dei tratti fisionomici e l'elaborata pettinatura, tipica del periodo flavio, permettono di identificare in questo ritratto Giulia, figlia dell'imperatore Tito.
La fanciulla ebbe dal padre il titolo di augusta ma morì prematuramente e fu divinizzata.
La scultura, considerata una pregevole e raffinata testimonianza della ritrattistica dell'epoca, nonché uno dei primi ritratti ufficiali di Giulia come Augusta, si data intorno all'anno 80 d.C.
Analysis of the physiognomic features and the elaborate hairstyle, typical of the Flavian period, allow us to identify Julia, daughter of Emperor Titus, in this portrait.
The maiden was given the title of augusta by her father but died prematurely and was deified.
The sculpture, considered a valuable and refined testimony to the portraiture of the period, as well as one of the earliest official portraits of Julia as Augusta, is dated to around AD 80.
This photograph features our Southern Hemisphere's well known and magnificent Tarantula Nebula. Considering its long distance away,160,000 light years, it's a truly massive and bright object, one to behold in a large reflector.

Smith Rock State Park, Oregon. The geology of Smith Rocks is volcanic. It is made up of layers of recent basalt flows overlaying older Clarno ash and tuff formations. Approximately 30 million years ago, a large caldera was formed when overlying rock collapsed into an underground lava chamber. This created a huge amount of rock and ash debris that filled the caldera. That material solidified into rock, becoming Smith Rock tuff. Rhyolite flows intruded along faults in the Smith Rock Tuff. A half million years ago, basalt lava flows from nearby volcanoes covered the older tuff. More recently, the Crooked River cut its way through the layers of rock to create today's geographic features. Smith Rock itself is a 3,200-foot (980 m)-high ridge (above sea level) with a sheer cliff-face overlooking a bend in the Crooked River, making the cliffs about 600 feet high. (Wikipedia)
Smith Rock is a famous location for rock climbing.

I have an incurable appetite for a freshly laundered and astutely pressed satin blouse. The one which I'm wearing here has a rear fastening, which creates uncluttered clean lines at the front. Sadly this particular example has neither a high neckline nor tailored cuffs. Two features which when added to the rear fastening, makes for my most favourite of blouse designs. Unfortunately such blouses are rather rare and almost impossible to find these days

The little Seaview Transportation Company doesn't have much in the way of scenery or geographic features along its 7 miles of 'mainline' across the Quonset Business Park on the east shore of Narragansett Bay. About the only spot of note is this deep cut through Devil's Foot Rock just west of the US Route 1 overpass at about MP 1.5 where the two legs of the railroad split to the waterfront in Quonset and Davisville respectively.
The road's primary locomotive had been hand washed only a few days prior by the road's new VP (and me!) and hasn't looked this good in years. The rain really saturated the fall leaves and the vibrant blue making for a better scene than we expected.

This Copernicus Sentinel-2 image features part of the Republic of Guinea-Bissau in western Africa.
Zoom in or click on the circles to explore this image at its full 10 m resolution.
With an area of 36 125 sq km, Guinea-Bissau is one of the smallest nations in continental Africa. This tropical country is made up of highlands in its northeastern region and, pictured here, lowlands near the Atlantic coast.
Captured in May 2026, the image shows how this coastal region is dominated by low plains scattered with mangrove swamps and cut through by rivers and estuaries, which branch out in the terrain like roots from a plant.
Tidal waters soak the interior on a daily basis, reaching up to 100 km inland – this is possible due to the flat coastal topography. The resulting sea inlets are a distinctive feature of Guinea-Bissau, which has the largest number of saltwater rivers in western Africa. For this reason, Guinea-Bissau features a blend of freshwater and saltwater rivers and estuaries, as shown also in this image.
The Geba River (freshwater) meanders from northeast through plains before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean in the Canal do Geba – the wide estuary at the top of this image. On its way, it carries water and nutrients, useful for agriculture, but also sediment, silt and organic matter which cause the milky colour of the water. The mouth of the Geba estuary is shared with its major tributary, the Corubal River, seen in the image joining from southeast.
Just south of the Canal do Geba is the Rio Grande de Buba, a saltwater estuary, whose shores are surrounded by mangroves in the lower half and which mixes with the seawater of the Atlantic Ocean. It represents a unique example in West Africa of an arm of the sea extending so far inland. At its eastern end lies Buba – visible as a brown, structured area – the largest city in southern Guinea-Bissau and the capital of the region.
Due to its unique environment, Guinea-Bissau is home to remarkably diverse flora and fauna, protected in various national and natural parks. The Cufada Lagoons Natural Park, located between Canal do Geba and Rio Grande de Buba, is also a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance and home to a large subpopulation of the critically endangered western chimpanzee.
The decline of western chimpanzees will have significant consequences for Guinea-Bissau’s environmental balance and rich biodiversity. Over the last few decades, the number of these primates in West Africa has fallen by 80% – a trend likely to continue unless urgent, coordinated action is taken at local, national and international levels.

One of the last grand adventures taken in 2025 was to Quenca, Ecuador. My purpose there was to tell stories through photography and filmmaking. I traveled throughout the region, learning about the Indigenous Andean Culture. The country was absolutely breathtaking as my eyes and heart took in the lands of the original Kanari people. This photograph was taken while visiting the primary sacred site for Mother Mary devotion. This is the southwest part of Ecuador, 28 km from Cuenca in El Cajas National Park. The park is well known for its rugged terrain that features picturesque landscapes characterized by valleys nestled in the Grandfather Mountains of Pachamama. This was one of those photographic moments that required a fair amount of patience to compose. For me, this photograph embodies the message of presence. I titled the piece, “Myth of Tomorrow,” because we only ever have now. Yes, another important reminder because where we place our will, action, reason, and emotion determines the quality of this very moment. Tomorrow is not the experience, only the one where we stand. For the animals im sure I was an anomaly for their simple way of existence. Standing a couple of meters away, dialing in an accurate light reading, one of the subjects' attention was pulled while the other was completely absorbed in grazing. The foreground needed to be properly illuminated since the sun was directly in front of me. Just before the trip, I acquired a couple of camera flashes from Lightpix that could be wirelessly synced together, paired with the Leica M6. In addition, I was experimenting with Kodak’s Tri-X 400 film-stock & an orange filter to get stronger black and white results.
Blocks issue 69 features step by step instructions to build my classic van.
The little van has previously appeared in some of my creations decked out in different liveries, such as the Hamburger Stand, Life’s a beach and few others.
It's not the first time I provide building instructions for one of my build but it's always a pleasure spotting them on a magazine.
Many thanks to Blocks for featuring the little van!
