The sedimentary rocks formed in the Upper Cretaceous that occur in the region of Torotoro, Bolivia, belong to the El Molino Formation, which can be divided into three members due to their distinct lithologic characteristics. The lower member consists of carbonate rocks, the intermediate member by siliciclastic and mixed rocks, and the upper, by carbonate rocks. These association of rocks occur as the upper strata of the Torotoro Syncline, a 45 km long and 9.5 km wide feature well preserved in the dynamic of Andean tectonic.

Allestito all’interno dell’Ex Palestra della Gioventù Italiana del Littorio, il Museo della Forma Urbis custodisce i frammenti superstiti di una grande planimetria di Roma incisa su 150 lastre di marmo tra il 203 e il 211 d.C., originariamente esposta sulla parete di un’aula nel Tempio della Pace, in seguito inglobata nel complesso dei SS. Cosma e Damiano. Si tratta di uno dei più rari documenti giunto a noi dall’antichità, che restituisce un panorama unico del paesaggio urbano di Roma antica. Nella sua integrità, su di una superficie di 18x13m circa erano rappresentati almeno 13.550.000 m2 di città attraverso una moltitudine di sottili incisioni che raffiguravano le planimetrie degli edifici di Roma, a una scala media di circa 1:240. Considerata la posizione, la difficile leggibilità e la generale assenza di dettagli, è probabile che la pianta marmorea avesse, più che una finalità pratica, una funzione di propaganda e di celebrazione del potere, fornendo all’osservatore una visione generale della città e dei suoi grandiosi monumenti, le cui sagome erano facilmente individuabili anche grazie all’uso del colore.
Anche se rinvenuti a centinaia, a partire dal 1562 e fino ai pezzi scoperti più di recente, i frammenti della Forma Urbis costituiscono circa un decimo della pianta originale, in uno stato di conservazione che varia da piccole schegge a settori di lastra con interi quartieri, case, portici, templi e botteghe. Solamente per circa 200 frammenti circa è stato finora possibile raggiungere un’identificazione e un’ideale collocazione sulla topografia moderna.

Maya Bay liegt auf der Insel Phi Phi Ley und ist weltberühmt für ihren halbkreisförmigen Strand, der von bis zu 100 Meter hohen Kalksteinfelsen umgeben ist. Der Ort wurde durch den Film The Beach mit Leonardo DiCaprio weltbekannt und zieht seither Besucher aus aller Welt an. Nach einer mehrjährigen Schließung zum Schutz der Natur ist der Zugang mittlerweile streng reguliert, um das empfindliche Ökosystem zu bewahren.
Maya Bay is located on the island of Phi Phi Ley and is world-famous for its crescent-shaped beach surrounded by towering limestone cliffs up to 100 meters high. The bay gained global recognition as the filming location of The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio. After being closed for several years to protect its fragile ecosystem, access is now strictly regulated to ensure sustainable tourism.

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.

"Amo la fotografia e, soprattutto, amo la fotografia di strada, per questo motivo fotografo spesso nei luoghi pubblici in cui appaiono le persone. Nella maggior parte dei casi non chiedo il permesso di fotografare perché probabilmente cambierei le immagini che cerco di ottenere. Queste foto obbediscono sempre ad un intento culturale, estetico, artistico e / o documentaristico e in nessun caso hanno lo scopo di mostrare a nessuno una situazione che potrebbe lederne l'immagine, minacciare la loro dignità o ottenere un beneficio economico. Tutto questo non significa affatto che non mi interessi delle persone che appaiono nelle mie immagini, quindi se ti riconosci in una delle mie fotografie e questo ti infastidisce, devi solo farmelo sapere e la ritirerò immediatamente . Allo stesso modo se vuoi una copia della tua immagine su carta o in un formato che ti permetta di stamparla tu stesso , ovviamente è tua. Grazie."
In France we say: "La fonction fait la forme". Here, one could say: "The form generates the function".
Each rhododendron bloom is a gathered colony of small, near-identical flowers—delicate, deliberate, and designed to draw in early summer’s pollinators. Their symmetry has both function and grace.
Golden hour photography uses the soft, warm, diffused light just after sunrise or before sunset, creating a magical, flattering glow with long shadows and rich red/gold tones due to the low sun angle filtering light through more atmosphere.
It's ideal for portraits and landscapes, adding depth and a dreamy quality.
Not quite the same in black and white.
Shooting in black and white during the golden hour
shifts focus from warm colours to light, shadow, texture, and mood, creating dramatic, high-contrast images with long shadows and ethereal light, emphasising form and emotion over hue, and often revealing timeless, classic compositions.
