Inside the mother ship ... or ... an abstract of an ice tunnel inside the Rhone glacier at the top of the Grimsel pass, Switzerland. Amazing experience to be inside all that implacable ice.
This is the lane out of Clapham to Austwick which uses the "tunnels". Two tunnels were constructed in order to lower Thwaite Lane beneath the route the Farrers (who owned Ingleborough Estate) would want to stroll along when visiting their 'back garden', an area encompassing all of the wooded area towards Ingleborough Cave and Trow Gill. It was also at this time that the Farrers dammed the valley to form a lake as a landscape feature. The third tunnel is probably even more bizarre and fascinating. It was used as a service entrance to the Hall for deliveries and servants arriving for work.

Raku, a revered Japanese art form, embodies simplicity, imperfection, and an intimate connection between the maker and their medium. Originating in the 16th century, it was traditionally used to craft tea bowls for the esteemed tea ceremony. Each piece, be it a tea cup, platter, or teapot, tells a story of fire and clay. The process embraces unpredictability as the objects are removed from the kiln while still molten, subjected to cooling that creates crackled glazes, smoky hues, and an air of serendipity.
The wabi-sabi aesthetic, rooted in the appreciation of transience and imperfection, finds its perfect partner in Raku. Together, they celebrate the beauty of flaws—the uneven edges, the crackled surfaces, the asymmetry that speaks of the artist’s hand and the elements’ influence. Raku is not about perfection but about presence, creating vessels that hold not just tea but the soul of the moment.
The Soul of Raku
In flames it breathes, the clay’s true form,
A dance of chaos, fire-streaked warm.
Crackled lines like life's own face,
Each flaw, a mark of time and grace.
In Raku’s hand, wabi-sabi gleams,
Imperfection woven into dreams.
A tea bowl speaks of transient days,
Beauty found in life's uneven ways.
Haikus
Crackled glaze whispers,
Flames kiss the clay with beauty,
Wabi-sabi’s truth.
Hands shape imperfection,
Kiln’s fire carves life in the clay,
Time’s breath etched within.
Tea cradles its bowl,
Fragile, transient, yet whole,
Raku’s humble soul.
It's that time of year again. I dislike taxes as much as any other person, but they're really not hard to do. And in a strange sort of way, It's a way to remind myself that I should feel grateful for what I have and what I can contribute.

This specimen is about 9" long and seen at a vendor from Madagascar at the Tucson Rock and Gem Show 2012. The label of this large pile of rocks says "Astimaliti" but I can find no reference online to the term. The best I can figure is that the specimens are a form of concretion that form around a central "seed", from sand, gypsum, mud or shale.

These photos caputure the festivity of Dahi Handi (pot of curd), which is popular in Maharashtra to celebrate.Janmashtami, the birth day of Lord Krishna. In the month of August- September.
Krishna would love to eat butter and curd, this would be kept in pots hanging from the roof tops.
So as a child he and his friend would form a human pyramid (just like in the photos) to reach the pots and steal the butter. He would enter the houses of the many gopis and carry out his mischief. In spite of this he was loved by one and all.
There are many folk tales and songs spun around this story and are very popular all over India.
This is called Dahi Handi in Maharashtra, were people will tie the dahi handi along with some cash award. During the day various groups come and take the challenge by building mult-story human layers.
At the place were I took these photos the qualifying levels were seven human layers.
In the evening the qualified groups take the challenge of going even higher. At this place the max layers which were made was 9 human layer. This is believed to be a world record.

The Schiller place is a square in the center of Stuttgart. It was created in its present form in honor of Friedrich Schiller. It is surrounded in the southwest starting from the Collegiate Church, the Fruit box, the Princes' building (today the Ministry of Justice) and the Old Chancellery and finally the Old Castle.
On Schiller square takes place twice a week a weekly market. Many events that primarily take place at the Stuttgart marketplace are extend to the Schiller place, such as the Christmas Market or the Stuttgart Wine Village. Under the Schiller place is also located underground parking.
Schiller monument on Schiller square
Within the cobbled square stands the built in 1839 by the Dane Bertel Thorvaldsen Schiller monument. It was the first Schiller monument in Germany. As model served a drawing of Schiller by Johann Christian Reinhart, which was produced in 1787 and is now lost. Its origin is based on a fairy tale that was written by the compatriote of Thorwaldsen, Hans Christian Andersen The old church bell.
History
Lithograph of the Schiller square from 1839
The first solid house of Stuttgart, the Stuthaus, lay beside the church. It is therefore reasonable to suggest that the site of today's Schiller place around 1000 was part of the stud area Stutengarten. Since the 12th century, the area was probably settlement area, from the 13th century stone houses as the Fruit box were built. Middle of the 14th century, the Dürnitz building of the old castle was built. 1542 the construction of the chancellery could be completed. A few years later, the arcaded wing of the Old Castle was built and the area till the chancellery as a moat laid out. 1594 commissioned Henry duke Friedrich I the architect Schickhardt to create in the area of today's Schiller place a representative Renaissance place. For this purpose, the until shortly before 1600 existing houses were bought and demolished. The resulting square was paved and denominated as Castle and Chancellery square. Since that time the site has its present dimensions.
1607, began construction activities on House of emissaries, today Princes' building. This building was completed in 1677. 1711 the Princes' building behind the Old Chancellery was extended to the tunnel. In doing so, the Chancellery arch was built. On the south side of the square, between Castle and Collegiate Church, 1712 opened the first coffee house in Stuttgart, from which in 1798 the inn "King of England" was born. A few years earlier, from 1775 to 1777, the castle moat was filled. With that, the square finally got its present form.
1934, the old Palace Square was officially renamed into Schillerplatz. 1944/45 burned all the buildings around the Schiller square down. Except for the "King of England", they were rebuilt and preserved in its external form. 1972/1973 an underground car park was built under the Schiller square.

Old Chancellery
At the building of the Old Firm there's a round slender high tower from 1598. The notable figure on this column - a "young man of gold" - stems from Ludwig Hofer (1862), executed by William Pelargus, and represents a Mercurius.
Der Schillerplatz ist ein Platz im Zentrum Stuttgarts. Er wurde in seiner heutigen Form zu Ehren Friedrich Schillers angelegt. Umgeben ist er im Südwesten beginnend von der Stiftskirche, dem Fruchtkasten, dem Prinzenbau (heute Sitz des Justizministeriums) und der Alten Kanzlei sowie schließlich dem Alten Schloss.
Auf dem Schillerplatz findet zweimal wöchentlich ein Wochenmarkt statt. Viele Veranstaltungen, die primär auf dem Stuttgarter Marktplatz stattfinden, werden auf den Schillerplatz ausgedehnt, so beispielsweise der Stuttgarter Weihnachtsmarkt oder das Stuttgarter Weindorf. Unter dem Schillerplatz befindet sich zudem eine Tiefgarage.
Schillerdenkmal auf dem Schillerplatz
Inmitten des gepflasterten Platzes steht das von dem Dänen Bertel Thorvaldsen 1839 errichtete Schillerdenkmal. Es war das erste Schillerdenkmal Deutschlands. Als Vorlage diente eine Zeichnung Schillers von Johann Christian Reinhart, die 1787 angefertigt wurde und heute verschollen ist.[1] Über seine Entstehung handelt das von Thorwaldsens Landsmann Hans Christian Andersen verfasste Märchen Die alte Kirchenglocke.
Geschichte
Lithografie des Schillerplatzes aus dem Jahr 1839
Das erste feste Haus Stuttgarts, das Stuthaus, lag neben der Stiftskirche. Es liegt daher nahe zu vermuten, dass das Gelände des heutigen Schillerplatzes um das Jahr 1000 Teil des Gestütsgeländes Stutengarten war. Seit dem 12. Jahrhundert war das Gebiet wahrscheinlich Siedlungsfläche, ab dem 13. Jahrhundert wurden Steinhäuser wie der Fruchtkasten errichtet. Mitte des 14. Jahrhunderts wurde der Dürnitzbau des alten Schlosses errichtet. 1542 konnte der Bau der Kanzlei abgeschlossen werden. Wenige Jahre später wurde der Arkadenflügel des alten Schlosses erbaut und der Bereich bis zur Kanzlei als Schlossgraben gestaltet. 1594 beauftragte Herzog Friedrich I. den Baumeister Heinrich Schickhardt im Bereich des heutigen Schillerplatzes einen repräsentativen Renaissanceplatz zu schaffen. Hierzu wurden bis kurz vor 1600 die bestehenden Häuser aufgekauft und abgerissen. Der entstandene Platz wurde gepflastert und als Schloss- und Kanzleiplatz bezeichnet. Seit dieser Zeit hat der Platz seine heutigen Abmessungen.
Ab 1607 begannen die Bauarbeiten am Gesandtenhaus, dem heutigen Prinzenbau. Dieses Gebäude wurde 1677 fertiggestellt. 1711 wurde der Prinzenbau hinter der alten Kanzlei bis zur Planie erweitert. Hierbei entstand der Kanzleibogen. An der Südseite des Platzes, zwischen Schloss und Stiftskirche, eröffnete 1712 das erste Stuttgarter Kaffeehaus, aus dem 1798 der Gasthof „König von England“ entstand. Wenige Jahre zuvor, zwischen 1775 und 1777, wurde der Schlossgraben zugeschüttet. Damit erhielt der Platz endgültig seine heutige Form.
1934 wurde der alte Schlossplatz offiziell in Schillerplatz umbenannt. 1944/45 brannten sämtliche Gebäude um den Schillerplatz ab. Bis auf den „König von England“ wurden sie wieder aufgebaut und in ihrer äußeren Form erhalten. 1972/1973 wurde unter dem Schillerplatz eine Tiefgarage errichtet.

Espacios Bioseguros
“Necesitamos tomar medidas preventivas de forma urgente bajo el paradigma del uso de las mejores tecnologías”
Luis de la Fuente Ramírez, presidente de ABQ, presentó Espacios Bioseguros junto al decano del Colegio de Biólogos de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid (COBCM), Ángel Fernández Ipar, como “un concepto en el que destacamos una serie de medidas de prevención para la población general por medio de un conjunto de soluciones tecnológicas para prevenir y minimizar los riesgos de contagio en, por ejemplo, espacios interiores, medios de transporte y otros, con el objetivo de controlar los agentes contaminantes de una forma eficaz y sostenible desde el punto de vista medioambiental y económico”. Por otro lado, “los profesionales debemos de controlar de forma eficaz los riesgos de contagio, tanto en las superficies como en el empleo de los materiales de trabajo que utilizamos todos los días”, matizó Ramírez a lo largo de su exposición.
Con motivo del acto de presentación de las Olimpiadas de Biología de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid, los responsables de ABQ dieron a conocer los objetivos de la entidad, así como el proyecto Espacios Bioseguros.
De esta manera, ABQ, entidad europea especializada en bioseguridad, “desea llevar a cabo un protocolo de implantación de un certificado de calidad para garantizar el Espacio Bioseguro en las empresas e instituciones con un 80% de éxito en todos los análisis que hagamos a partir de ahora”, indicaron los responsables de la asociación.
Recordemos que “ABQ ha logrado seleccionar, junto a los colegios de biólogos de las distintas Comunidades Autónomas, soluciones eficientes que han sido contrastadas por la NASA”, concluyó Ramírez.
De esta manera, la asociación ABQ participó en las Olimpiadas de Biología de la Comunidad de Madrid, organizadas por el Colegio de Biólogos de la Comunidad de Madrid (COBCM) con el patrocinio de la Consejería de Educación y la colaboración de la Universidad Complutense, Universidad Autónoma y Editorial Santillana.

didn't have a high speed camera to compare my running form barefoot (Vibram) vs. with shoes. So I used a stroboscopic flash to try to get an idea of it.
Kinda has a cool look to it. Need to figure out how to get it off-camera and do this. My Radio Poppers won't trigger the stroboscopic feature... Guess that's a TTL feature. :-\
