Another try at inverted luminosity, but this time I didn't do it for the stars, a different look again.
En octubre de 2022, a causa de una reforma en el viaducto de Villanueva del RÃo y Minas, el Medway entre Mérida y La Salud lo desviaron por las lÃneas de Sevilla-Huelva y Huelva-Zafra.
En la fotografÃa, el primer tren que desviaron, procedente de Sevilla y con destino Mérida, recorriendo sus primeros kilómetros por la variante de Peguerillas antes de ser renovada, tras invertir la marcha en Huelva-MercancÃas.
Saludos al personal de cabina y a Borja.
In a classic sundial, the time is read by observing the shadow cast by an inclined style, which sweeps over the hour lines. Here, it is the hour lines that project onto the dial down to a point where the time is read.
If the principle of this sundial has been known since the 17th century, only one copy of this type, which has now disappeared, was made in France, in Besançon in 1757.
In the canopy, which is inclined according to the latitude of the place overhanging the vertical wall, incisions were made, ending with hour numerals, which let light rays pass through. During the course of the day, these rays scroll in the shadow of the wall from left to right and indicate the "0-minute" solar hour when they pass over the red dot placed in front of the index finger of the hand.

Dans un cadran classique, la lecture de l'heure s'effectue en observant l'ombre issue d'un style incliné, qui balaye des lignes horaires. Ici, ce sont les lignes horaires qui se projettent sur le cadran et balayent un point où s'effectue la lecture de l'heure.
Si le principe de ce cadran solaire est connu depuis le XVIIème siècle, un seul exemplaire de ce type, aujourd'hui disparu, a été réalisé en France, à Besançon en 1757.
Dans l''auvent incliné selon la latitude du lieu qui surplombe la paroi verticale, on a pratiqué des incisions, terminées par des chiffres d'heures, qui laissent passer des rais de lumière. Au cours de la journée, ces rais défilent dans l'ombre du mur de la gauche vers la droite et indiquent l'heure solaire "entière" lorsqu'ils passent sur le point rouge placé devant l'index de la main.

Inside The Louvre in Paris. I was sat down and had my camera on the floor and took a few shots before a security guard told me to stop. After I put it away another guy came over to tell me to stand up.
Damn the French! We've started wars with them for less than that...

Color, light, and inversion play with the geometric metal sculptural framework that makes up the inside of the Louvre Pyramid in Paris, France. HSS!
One of the insights I gained from a week long workshop with Jay Masiel a year ago was to use reflections and unusual perspectives to try to fool the eye. This creates interest as we naturally try to figure the image out. I have since looked for opportunities to try this technique of which Masiel and other masters are so skilled at using.
This image is of a shiny ceiling at an airport which was then inverted vertically so the figures would appear upright.

Into the Light - Day 123 - Year 2022
Treasure Hunt #33 Inverted
---------------------------------------------------
Post surgery there is a regimented list of medications to be taken over the next few weeks and I have a list to follow. Here is an overhead view of the extra drugs I need to take.
---------------------------------------------------
So my shot for today is what it is... inverted it and popped in a chunk of it normal for interest.
---------------------------------------------------
It was a tough day for me, since the PT (physical therapy) has increased and any residual relief from the pain blockers during surgery have dissipated. Not a big fan of narcotics, but appreciating the help they are providing me in the pain department -- side effects not fun, but under control.
Working through the pain with the promise of gaining the best for myself and my mobility in the future. I have had two total knee replacements before. Everyone told me that "they say" the hip is easier. Sorry, folks, I categorize that as 'misinformation'. There are far more restrictions and more cautions.
Gray langurs, sacred langurs, Indian langurs or Hanuman langurs are a group of Old World monkeys native to the Indian subcontinent constituting the entirety of the genus Semnopithecus.
These langurs are largely gray (some more yellowish), with a black face and ears. Externally, the various species mainly differ in the darkness of the hands and feet, the overall color and the presence or absence of a crest. Typically all north Indian gray langurs have their tail tips looping towards their head during a casual walk whereas all south Indian and Sri Lankan gray langurs have an inverted "U" shape or a "S" tail carriage pattern. There are also significant variations in the size depending on the sex, with the male always larger than the female. The head-and-body length is from 51 to 79 cm (20 to 31 in). Their tails, at 69 to 102 cm (27 to 40 in) are never longer than their bodies. Langurs from the southern part of their range are smaller than those from the north. At 26.5 kg (58 lb), the heaviest langur ever recorded was a male Nepal gray langur. The larger gray langurs are rivals for the largest species of monkey found in Asia. The average weight of gray langurs is 18 kg (40 lb) in the males and 11 kg (24 lb) in the females.
Langurs mostly walk quadrupedally and spend half their time on the ground and the other half in the trees. They will also make bipedal hops, climbing and descending supports with the body upright, and leaps. Langurs can leap 3.6–4.7 m (12–15 ft) horizontally and 10.7–12.2 m (35–40 ft) in descending.
The entire distribution of all gray langur species stretches from the Himalayas in the north to Sri Lanka in the south, and from Bangladesh in the east to Pakistan in the west. They possibly occur in Afghanistan. The bulk of the gray langur distribution is within India, and all seven currently recognized species have at least a part of their range in this country.
Gray langurs can adapt to a variety of habitats.They inhabit arid habitats like deserts, tropical habitats like tropical rainforests and temperate habitats like coniferous forests, deciduous habitats and mountains habitats. They are found at sea level to altitudes up to 4,000 m (13,000 ft). They can adapt well to human settlements, and are found in villages, towns and areas with housing or agriculture.They live in densely populated cities like Jodhpur, which has a population numbering up to a million.
Gray langurs are diurnal. They sleep during the night in trees but also on man-made structures like towers and electric poles when in human settlements. When resting in trees, they generally prefer the highest branches.
Ungulates like bovine and deer will eat food dropped by foraging langurs.Langurs are preyed upon by leopards, dholes and tigers.Wolves, jackals, Asian black bears and pythons may also prey on them
Gray langurs are primarily herbivores. However, unlike some other colobines they do not depend on leaves and leaf buds of herbs, but will also eat coniferous needles and cones, fruits and fruit buds, evergreen petioles, shoots and roots, seeds, grass, bamboo, fern rhizomes, mosses, and lichens. Leaves of trees and shrubs rank at the top of preferred food, followed by herbs and grasses. Non-plant material consumed include spider webs, termite mounds and insect larvae.They forage on agricultural crops and other human foods, and even accept handouts. Although they occasionally drink, langurs get most of their water from the moisture in their food.
In one-male groups, the resident male is usually the sole breeder of the females and sires all the young. In multiple-male groups, the highest-ranking male fathers most of the offspring, followed by the next-ranking males and even outside males will father young. Higher-ranking females are more reproductively successful than lower-ranking ones.
Female gray langurs do not make it obvious that they are in estrous. However, males are still somehow able to reduce the reproduction state of females.Females signal that they are ready to mate by shuddering the head, lowering the tail, and presenting their anogenital regions. Such solicitations do not always lead to copulation. When langurs mate, they are sometimes disrupted by other group members. Females have even been recorded mounting other females.
The gestation period of gray langur lasts around 200 days, at least at Jodhpur, India. In some areas, reproduction is year-around. Year-round reproduction appears to occur in populations that capitalize on human-made foods. Other populations have seasonal reproduction.
Infanticide is common among gray langurs. Most infanticidal langurs are males that have recently immigrated to a group and driven out the prior male. These males only kill infants that are not their own.Infanticide is more commonly reported in one-male groups, perhaps because one male monopolizing matings drives the evolution of this trait. In multiple-male groups, the costs for infanticidal males are likely to be high as the other males may protect the infants and they can't ensure that they'll sire young with other males around. Nevertheless, infanticide does occur in these groups, and is suggested that such practices serve to return a female to estrous and gain the opportunity to mate.
Females usually give birth to a single infant, although twins do occur. Most births occur during the night. Infants are born with thin, dark brown or black hair and pale skin. Infants spend their first week attach themselves to their mothers' chests and mostly just suckle or sleep. They do not move much in terms of locomotion for the first two weeks of their life. As they approach their sixth week of life, infants vocalize more.They use squeaks and shrieks to communicate stress. In the following months, the infants are capable of quadrupedal locomotion and can walk, run and jump by the second and third months. Alloparenting occurs among langurs, starting when the infants reach two years of age. The infant will be given to the other females of the group. However, if the mother dies, the infant usually follows.Langurs are weaned by 13 months.
