The theme for Looking Close on Friday is Wood Grain. Rod is a wood turner and when he found a couple of bowls woods in a charity shop he thought he could turn them into something new. Lignum vitae is a hard wood with a beautiful grain, the bowl he made shows it off well.

The sun is high
In a flaming sky
Looking down on a child
With tears in his eyes.
The world's slipping through his fingers
Like the grains of sand
He holds
With trembling hands.

"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour." - William Blake
These stunning structures resemble the ruins of an ancient city, but the alien looking 'skyscrapers' are natural sand castles, rising 3-4 ft high.
Similar in appearance to the more famous calcium carbonate tufa towers along Mono Lake's shoreline, these sand tufas formed quite differently. Beneath the surface of the ancient lake, calcium-rich groundwater rose up through brine-saturated sand layers, forming cemented pillars of sand. Later, the lake waters receded, leaving this area high and dry some distance back from the water's edge. Then wind eroded away the sand layers, exposing fluted sand tufas. These delicate formations are being continually weathered completely away, and new ones are exposed.
The image shows the Milky Way arching over the Sand Tufas. Some dissipating clouds along the horizon are a reminiscence of less tranquil conditions with strong tunderstorms in the afternoon. Strong airglow is bathing the lower sky in green, yellow and some reds, which are seemingly echoed by the Hydrogen-alpha emission nebulae dotting the Milky Way band.

Ukraine is the breadbasket of the world. Their soil is rich and dark. They grow wheat and export it widely. I think I saw that they grow something like 20% of the wheat in the world. The country is filled with scenes not a million miles away from this. The war is making this difficult and may result in hunger and famine in countries very distant from Ukraine.
World Central Kitchen travels to crisis zones and feeds the hungry. Chef Jose Andres uses his fame to draw attention to the needs of the needy. You may have seen a recent video by WCK's CEO Nate Mook about their kitchen in Kharkiv getting hit by a Russian missile. That's how close to the front lines they get.
