Looking north-northwest toward the High Falls of the Pigeon River.
In this region, this stream marks the boundary of the United States and Canada. Here it spills over a northeast-southwest-oriented dike of Mesoproterozoic diabase, a dark wall of highly resistant mafic igneous rock. Then it rushes down a canyon deeply incised into much softer shale, siltstone, and graywacke of the Paleoproterozoic Rove Formation. These sedimentary strata can be dimly discerned through the mist at lower left and right.
The tremendous visceral impact of the surging water and splashing spray is matched by the spectacle of geologic time presented at the High Falls. The Rove beds were deposited between 1.836 and 1.78 Ga ago in the Animikie Basin, a downwarped section of the Earth's crust linked to the Penokean mountain-building episode.
Then, at about 1.1 Ga and long after the lofty Penokean Mountains had been beveled flat by erosion, the magma that would become the diabase was injected into a large vertical fissure in the Rove. This occurred during the cataclysmic episode that created the Midcontinent Rift (MCR) and almost tore North America apart. While specialists still debate the details of its origin, the MCR formed in a time of crustal extension and thinning. Its massive outpourings of lava may also be linked to mantle-plume activity.

Rilke again:
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet ~

And last but not least:
Imagionation is the mother of all possibilities.

Im Straßenbild sieht man noch Minarette und Moscheen , aber die die meisten wurden einem anderen Zweck zugeführt. Geschichte kann man aber nicht ausradieren und ein friedlicher, harmonischer Mix aus Religionen, Architekturen, Kulturen kann doch nur bereichern.
There are still minarets and mosques in the street, but most of them have been brought to a different purpose. But you can not eradicate history and a peaceful, harmonious mix of religions, architecture, cultures can only enrich

This photograph beautifully captures a narrow alley in the historic center of Siena, Italy. The cobblestone street leads uphill beneath an archway, where a family walks hand in hand, creating a tender contrast with the towering medieval architecture surrounding them. The deep perspective framed by the dark brick walls enhances the feeling of enclosure, a common trait in Tuscan cities where centuries-old buildings rise closely side by side. Above the arch, the rooftops and spires of Siena’s famed cathedral subtly emerge, adding a sense of grandeur and continuity between past and present.
Siena’s historical center, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a remarkably preserved example of a medieval city. Its urban fabric and Gothic architecture reflect the height of civic, political, and artistic development achieved during the 13th and 14th centuries, when Siena rivaled Florence in wealth and power. The visible brickwork in the image, with its warm, earthy tones, is typical of Sienese construction, made of the region’s abundant clay. The pointed towers and narrow windows further evoke the austere yet elegant style that defines much of Siena’s architecture.
Culinary traditions in Siena are deeply rooted in its medieval heritage as well. As visitors wander through these very alleys, they are likely to encounter the aromas of traditional Tuscan cuisine wafting from nearby trattorias. Dishes such as pici (a thick handmade pasta), ribollita, and wild boar stew are commonly served, often accompanied by local Chianti wine. And no Sienese experience would be complete without sampling panforte or ricciarelli — dense, sweet confections made with nuts and candied fruits, recipes that date back to the Renaissance.
Architecturally, this alleyway scene embodies Siena’s genius for integrating civic structure with urban design. The use of arches, passageways, and layered facades gives the city a distinctive verticality and rhythm. The backdrop of the cathedral's striped Gothic spires in the distance signals the heart of religious and cultural life in Siena: the Duomo di Siena, known for its polychrome marble, intricate façade, and masterpieces by artists like Pisano, Donatello, and Michelangelo. Every corner of Siena is a convergence of lived history, sacred art, and daily tradition — and this photograph quietly, but powerfully, tells that story.

A new tech term for ancient technology. This is a granary near the Moon House Ruin in the Cedar Mesa area of Utah. I liked how the walls of the granary grew out of the cliffs as an extension of the natural rock.
Integration of the Orion spacecraft on top of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The European Service Module that will power the first Orion uncrewed flight, ESM-1, was lifted up and mated with the rocket in preparation for launch, together with the crew module. Integration began on 20 October 2021, and the spacecraft was secured atop the powerful rocket six days later.
Artemis I is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions for human deep space exploration. The European Service Module will power Orion's crew module around the Moon and back with over 30 engines. The European Service Module provides electricity, water, oxygen and nitrogen as well as keeping the spacecraft at the right temperature and on course.

last landscape format image of the Snake Creatures...this is the first stage in becoming one of them....painless but irreversible
thanks for looking in....appreciate it.....best bigger....hope you have a Great Weekend
I am taking a different turn in photography.
I love incorporating art with photographs so now I play with my iPad and Laminar software.
Thus allows me to layer my bits and pieces hopefully into a more interesting landscape.
... the Andromedae Galaxy, taken at 23° Saint Barthélemy star-party, NUS (Valledaosta, Italy)
noble subject, but it was my obsession, photograph decently at least once
edit: I have completely redone the stack on another computer with the latest version of DSS, the colors seem to be more correct, cool :)

Schnitzel (aka The Schnitzler) visited our back garden as a stray / feral kitten with his mum and siblings back in August 2022 for the first time. We adopted him together with his brother Figgy and he has now been living with us for the past six months.
More on trapping and integrating the feral brothers is available here:

de la nature, la poésie, la sensualité... tout qui me parle, tout que j'ai envie d'exprimer.
J'avais passé des années en faisant de collages de papier, de peinture et de photos. Maintenant, je reviens sur mes racines artistiques et j'ai commencé à faire une nouvelle série de superpositions. Voici la première.

of nature, of poetry, of sensuality... all that speaks to me, all that I desire to express.
I had spent years making collages of paper, paint, photographs. Now I am revisiting my artistic roots, and I have started a new series of photo composites. Here is the first.

An Evzone on guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Syntagma Square in Athens. The Evzones are an elite branch of the Hellenic Army and the men are selected specially for this unit based on a number of requirements, one being at least 6' 1' tall.
The Tomb is in the French urban and classical tradition, combined with the modern spirit of Art Deco and with symbolic references to Ancient Greece. The main issue was the integration of the Tomb with Syntagma Square and with the neoclassical Palace and the contribution to the redevelopment of the square. The sculpture is at the center of the wall. To the left and to the right there are two side staircases while in the center there is a rectangular raised grave. The stairs of the monuments are purely decorative, as the steps are for observation during ceremonies. The sculpture represents the naked male figure of a dead warrior lying on the ground. He holds a circular shield in his left hand and wears an Ancient Greek-style helmet. The representation of the body gives the impression that the Unknown Soldier is ready to arise at any moment.
To the left and right of The Tomb are sculptured phrases from the works of Thucydides. To the left, "There's one bed made, but, still, empty: the bed of the unidentified soldiers"; to the right, "The whole earth is the sepulcher of famous men". Both quotes are from History of the Peloponnesian War. Over the main sculpture in smaller writing, is a sculptured phrase which reads "To an unknown soldier".
