[Daydreaming]
I love daydreaming.
Daydreaming delivers me in my own world,
With my own ingenuity and artistry.
With my own delusion and imagination.
Daydreaming gives me the license to do what I want to do, in my own world.
Daydreaming gives me the serenity to control my own fantasies and thoughts, in my own world.
I love daydreaming, because, it is the only way to boost myself up into the real world..
Where the ceiling still shines and columns still smile. A masterpiece of ancient Egyptian art
Stepping back in time within the beautifully preserved Dendera Temple of Hathor, framing the interior of the grand hypostyle hall and marveling at the vibrant colors. A journey through history, where every column has a story to tell.
The massive columns feature capitals carved on four sides with the face of the goddess Hathor, who was associated with joy, music, and motherhood. The columns and walls are covered in extensive, detailed hieroglyphic carvings and reliefs, providing insights into ancient Egyptian mythology and rituals.
The ceiling above still retains much of its original, vibrant paint and is decorated with detailed astronomical scenes, including stars, the goddess Nut, and zodiac signs.
Portions of the vibrant blue ceiling decoration, which once featured astronomical carvings like the famous Dendera zodiac, are still visible.
The image uses a low-angle perspective, looking upwards and through the massive columns towards the rear of the hall. This technique emphasizes the monumental scale and height of the ancient Egyptian architecture, creating a sense of awe and grandeur.
The composition is dominated by the large, intricately carved columns which fill the foreground and midground. They feature distinctive Hathor-headed capitals. The columns act as leading lines and framing elements, drawing the viewer's eye deeper into the temple interior.
Natural light enter from the front and above, illuminating the foreground columns brightly and creating strong contrasts and shadows that highlight the depth and texture of the carvings. The back of the hall is more dimly lit, adding to the sense of mystery and depth.
The photograph showcases the remarkable preservation of color on the ceiling and the column capitals, with vibrant blues and yellows still visible. The entire surface of the columns and ceiling is covered in detailed hieroglyphs and reliefs depicting divine scenes and mythologies.
The structure showcases the advanced artistry and ingenuity of ancient Egyptian architecture, making it one of the best-preserved temple complexes from ancient Egypt.
Our local community gardens have been around for many years so the plots there have evolved their own sense of place and style - which often transcend whomever the stewarding gardener might be. Some of the most wonderful leftover artifacts are the "fences" which are, without a doubt, some of the most unique, artistic and ingenious fences I've ever seen.
Happy Fence Friday, my friends! Have an ingeniously inspiring weekend. :)
Part of the Perseverance mission to Mars, Ingenuity is the helicopter that flies in the Martian atmosphere and sends photos and videos back to Perseverance and from there to NASA on Earth. Ingenuity is more than two years into an intended 30 day mission, far exceeding expectations.
Let me introduce you to the little brother of the great iron lady - Garabit ! 140 years, Happy Birthday - Cantal - Auvergne - France - Europe
Garabit, une superbe vallée habitée par un géant de fer
Depuis sa construction, il y a 140 ans, le viaduc de Garabit suscite l’admiration de tous. A ses pieds, la Truyère a creusé son lit dans une somptueuse vallée aux multiples facettes.
Viaduc de Garabit et Gorges de la Truyère sont étroitement liés. L’ouvrage de Gustave Eiffel ne serait pas là, si la rivière n’avait sculpté des gorges profondes infranchissables. Dans les années 1870, l’extension de la ligne de chemin de fer s’envisage vers le Sud, pour relier Paris à Béziers. Il aura fallu l’ingéniosité de Léon Boyer et Gustave Eiffel pour imaginer et réaliser le viaduc de Garabit réunissant les deux rives de la rivière.
Quatre années de travaux pour dévoiler un majestueux viaduc de 564 mètres de long et 122 mètres de haut.
Un chef d’œuvre improbable. Inscrit en 1965, il patientera jusqu’en 2017 pour être classé Monument Historique. Un nouveau défi se présente à lui, celui de prétendre à un classement au patrimoine mondial. Depuis fin 2017, une procédure de candidature au patrimoine mondial réunit 6 viaducs métalliques à grande arche en Allemagne, en Italie, au Portugal et en France. Le viaduc de Garabit et le viaduc du Viaur représentent la partie française.

Garabit, a superb valley inhabited by an iron giant
Since its construction 140 years ago, the Garabit viaduct has aroused the admiration of all. At its feet, the Truyère has dug its bed in a sumptuous valley with multiple facets.
The Garabit Viaduct and the Truyère Gorges are closely linked. Gustave Eiffel's work would not be there if the river had not carved deep, impassable gorges. In the 1870s, the extension of the railway line was considered towards the South, to connect Paris to Béziers. It took the ingenuity of Léon Boyer and Gustave Eiffel to imagine and build the Garabit viaduct, uniting the two banks of the river.
Four years of work to unveil a majestic viaduct 564 meters long and 122 meters high.
An improbable masterpiece. Registered in 1965, it will wait until 2017 to be classified as a Historic Monument. A new challenge presents itself to it, that of claiming a classification as a world heritage site. Since the end of 2017, a world heritage application procedure has brought together 6 large-arched metal viaducts in Germany, Italy, Portugal and France. The Garabit viaduct and the Viaur viaduct represent the French part.
The 1958 Scarab Mk II, one of 3 legendary vehicles built by Lance Reventlow, who at age 21, and also the heir to the Woolworth fortune, sought to challenge European dominance with American innovation and Chevrolet V8 power
This Mk II Scarab, is the second of 3 Chevy small block front engined racers, and the one that actually won the US Grand Prix in Riverside, California, against a gaggle of the biggest and best from Europe, including Phill Hill in his monster Ferrari 412S.
The Scarabs absolutely dominated American Racing through 1962, and continued to be successfully raced for several more years. But for the late 50s rule change in European Formula 1 racing limiting the engine size to 3 liters, Lance could never fulfill his dream (shared with Briggs Cunningham) of conquering European road racing with Yankee ingenuity.
For a vivid description of the great race win in 1958, read this.... www.classicandsportscar.com/features/all-american-hero-dr...
And still considered by many to be the most beautiful sports car racer of it's era. And I am with them.
A female Eastern Bluebird. Bluebird nest boxes in Carden Alvar are all against the fences; most often the birds land on a rusty fence wire before entering the nest. Some enterprising photographers decided to put up a broken piece of branch around the nest box to give the birds a more natural looking perch - only to forget about the cable ties.

Yuanyang Rice Terraces, located on the southern slopes of Ailao Mountain in Yuanyang County (part of Honghe Hani Autonomous Prefecture) and located in the south of Yunnan Province has been a masterpiece of the ingenuity of the Hani people for generations. Southern Ailao Mountain, with this typical tiered landscape, is famed for its unique frontier scenery.
The Hani people's ancestors came to this steep mountain area 2,500 years ago. In their struggle against the difficult terrain they successfully established the terraces, where they grew rice in order to make a living. The technology of developing fertile land on rugged mountain slopes didn't spread all over China and Southeast Asia until 14th century. The creativity of the Hani people turned this mountain area into one of artistic beauty. In recognition, the Ming Dynasty emperor granted the title of 'Skillful Sculptor' to Hani people and their good reputation was passed down from generation to generation. At present, known as 'land sculpture' the terraced fields have been being officially acknowledged by UNESCO as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage site.
"Ingenuity quotient" è una definizione che trovai su Popular Science nel primo dopoguerra, mi colpì la corrispondenza con il comportamento di noi napoletani che secolarmente troviamo stratagemmi di sopravvivenza.
Qualche anno dopo mi capitò per mano un libretto di un filosofo tedesco del novecento dal titolo "La filosofia del rotto "dove ritrovai esilaranti aneddoti sul comportamento dei napoletani.

Amish cooks would clean out their Mason jars, then turn them upside down and put them on fence posts around their gardens. The intense summer sun would generate enough heat inside the jars that the fence posts would actually char — perfectly sanitizing the jars. (Explained by guide at My Amish Home in Holmes County, Ohio)

Gallito de Agua / Northern Jacana ( Jacana spinosa )
status en RD Residente no común (Rnc) / No Common Resident
*Behold the resplendent Northern Jacana (Jacana spinosa), captured with artistic mastery on the 4th of February, 2023, amidst the serene grounds of Hacienda Estrella in the Dominican Republic. Like a vision transported from a naturalist's dream, this avian marvel is adorned in plumage of lustrous gold and earthy brown, crowned with a striking black and yellow frontal shield—a herald of its unique elegance.*
*Pray, cast thine eyes upon its most curious appendages—those elongated toes which bespeak a tale most wondrous. These remarkable feet, spanning an improbable length, confer upon the Jacana its moniker, the “Jesus bird,” for it appears to tread miraculously upon the water's surface. In truth, its spindly toes distribute its weight with finesse, allowing it to traverse the aquatic tapestry of lily pads and vegetation that adorn its habitat.*
*A creature of singular grace, the Northern Jacana is a testament to the ingenuity of the natural world, where beauty and function entwine in harmony. Were such a being to grace the parlours and salons of Victorian naturalists, it would surely inspire a thousand odes and scientific treatises alike.*

People in the far north are quite clever when it comes to solving daily problems that might arise.
When your source of water is located high on the mountain side, and your home or business is well below - you simply make your own water pipeline. Of course this only solves the problem in the summer, as your jerry-rigged pipeline will freeze solid in the winter. In winter you will be digging a hole in the ice of the nearest body of water, filling containers, and hauling them home. I never said that life in the far north was easy. 😄

Amazing sight how this marvel of design and construction is fully intact winding through the streets. Aqueduct still ported water till the 1800s.
The charm of Utrecht is its sunken canal running through the centre of the Aldstadt. Previously it was the main channel of the Rhine River.
Utrecht’s canals are one of a kind in the world with its wharfs and wharf cellars. Back in the Middle Ages (circa 12th century) when the main flow of the river Rhine moved south, parts of the old river bed were dug out to create the Old Canal (De Oudegracht) and wharfs were added to create an inner city harbour system.
A direct example of Dutch ingenuity, boats were able to directly dock and unload their cargo onto the wharfs lining the canal. The wharf cellars had pedestrian walkways that provided storage at water level creating a unique two-level street system along the canals.
The unique wharfs of Utrecht today are dotted with restaurants, craft shops, cafés and boutique shops showing tribute to its former glory and significance.
C-GROV, an Airbus BD-500-1A11 A220-300, heading west on taxiway "Delta" towards runway 06L at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario.
"Calin Rovinescu" was departing, just before sunset, as ACA720 (Air Canada) to New York (LaGuardia), New York.
Serial number 55067 was the first A220-300 to join Air Canada's fleet. On November 21, 2025, it received the 40th of the 65 units that it had ordered.
Although the BD-500 family was designed and developed by Bombardier, it has become a valuable addition to the Airbus commercial product line.

A dark-painted Westland Lysander in flight with its boarding ladder still attached, hinting at its role in secret WWII night missions. These aircraft carried agents and supplies into occupied Europe under the cover of darkness. The ladder detail reminds us of the daring operations and ingenuity required for these clandestine flights.
