In October 2015, Holly & The Sacred Flame unveiled “Plague” at their Oddities performance. It was one of the most powerful, unnerving and artistic performances I have ever seen. Created from the ground up and brought to life in all its dramatic darkness. It wasn’t just the costumes that were spectacular but the very movements of the dance seemed to inspire fear and awe, beauty and the macabre. A few people didn’t understand but you didn’t have too, its art and sometimes not understanding art can be a good thing too. I was one of the few who got sneak peaks before the performance and I knew it would be pure gold followed by “I need to do this as a shoot in the backdrop of the forest”. Before I even saw one move I knew this was something we needed to explore further. It’s quite difficult to ask them to stop mid performance with questions like “hey, can you just hold that pose right there” lol or “Oooo oh…look at me lol.. Don’t think they would have appreciated it lol. Originally rescheduled due to weather, I’ve had these ideas roaming around in my head since October. In 2012 we all came together as a creative partnership intent on making beautiful things with beautiful people. We have become so much more. Sisters and soul mates, artists and muses, friends and companions all with the same wonderful visions of maybe just making the world brighter, making people think or feel something, anything. You wouldn’t believe how hard that is in this day with the constant assault of online media. Life is hard, but achieving happiness shouldn’t be hard if you surround yourself with the right people. I don’t know what I did to be blessed with so many loving and supportive sisters but I love them so very much….In love and art, we ascend, we bloom and we live forever in the warm embrace of each other.
Oddities 2016 is coming in October! If you missed the last one you probably shouldn’t miss this one, jus sayin.
The Mönch is one of the most iconic peaks in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland, standing proudly between the Eiger and the Jungfrau to form one of the most famous mountain trios in the world. Rising to an elevation of 4,107 meters (13,474 feet), the Mönch dominates the skyline above the Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald valleys, offering breathtaking views of glaciers, rugged cliffs, and pristine alpine landscapes. Its name, meaning “monk” in German, is said to complement its neighboring peaks — the Eiger (“ogre”) and Jungfrau (“maiden”) — creating a trio rich in folklore and symbolism. The first recorded ascent of the Mönch took place in 1857, marking an important milestone in Swiss mountaineering history. Today, climbers from around the world are drawn to its relatively accessible routes, such as the southeast ridge from the Mönchsjoch Hut, which offers a mix of snow, ice, and rock climbing. The region surrounding the Mönch is also easily reachable via the Jungfraujoch railway, one of Europe’s highest train lines, making it a popular destination not only for alpinists but also for tourists who come to admire its majestic beauty from viewing platforms and hiking trails. With its dramatic scenery, rich mountaineering heritage, and the stunning interplay of light and shadow on its glaciated slopes, the Mönch stands as a symbol of the awe-inspiring natural splendor of the Swiss Alps.

Perhaps one of the most fascinating designs for a premium car, the XM has become an icon among car enthusiasts for its dramatic style. Offered as a five-door saloon and estate (called Break), the XM was offered with both petrol and diesel engines, with the top of the range powered by a 24V V6 with 200 PS. This particular XM appears to be in great condition; let's hope it stays that way.

Calvary — or more specifically First Calvary, the part south of the Long Island Expressway and west of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway — is best admired for its dramatic setting: tucked in among highways, residential neighborhoods, industrial buildings and Newtown Creek, with views of Manhattan rising as a backdrop.
The best views are from Sections 7 and 48 — use the posted map to help you. Section 7 is more spectacular, as elegant obelisks and other monuments point skyward in the foreground, blending in seamlessly with the skyscrapers of Midtown far beyond, as if Ms. Chrysler and Mr. E. S. Building were buried in the distance. Section 48 has cleaner city views, but its headstones are mostly smaller and simpler, reducing the drama quotient.

The Large Bathhouse - elaborately built, it probably served the guests and senior officials of Masada. It consisted of a large courtyard surrounded by porticos and several rooms, all with mosaic or tiled floors and some with frescoed walls. The largest of the rooms was the hot room (caldarium). Its suspended floor was supported by rows of low pillars, making it possible to blow hot air from the furnace outside, under the floor and through clay pipes along the walls, to heat the room to the desired temperature.
Masada (Hebrew for fortress) has become one of the Jewish people's greatest symbols as the place where the last Jewish stronghold against Roman invasion stood. Next to Jerusalem, it is the most popular destination of tourists visiting Israel.
Located on a 600 x 300m plateau atop an isolated rock cliff at the western end of the Judean Desert overlooking the Dead Sea.
It’s casemate wall (two parallel walls with partitions dividing the space between them into rooms), is 1400 m. long and 4 m. wide and was built along the edge of the plateau.
Three narrow, winding paths led from below to fortified gates and the water supply was guaranteed by a network of large, rock-hewn cisterns on the northwestern side of the hill.
On the east side, the rock falls in a sheer drop of about 450 meters to the Dead Sea and on the western edge it stands about 100 meters above the surrounding terrain.
More than two thousand years have passed since the fall of the Masada fortress yet the regional climate and its remoteness have helped to preserve the remains of its extraordinary story.
Herod the Great built the fortress of Masada between 37 and 31 BC and “furnished it as a refuge for himself.”
Some 75 years after Herod’s death, at the beginning of the Revolt of the Jews against the Romans in 66 AD, a group of Jewish rebels overcame the Roman garrison of Masada and affter the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple (70 AD) they were joined by zealots and their families who had fled from Jerusalem.
For three years, they withstood the raiding and harassing Romans, but in 73 AD, the Romans established camps at the base of Masada, laid siege and having constructed a rampart of thousands of tons of stones and beaten earth against the western approaches of the fortress, in the spring of 74 AD they moved a battering ram up the ramp and breached the wall of the fortress.
Once it became apparent that Masada's walls would be breached all the Jewish defenders committed suicide rather than face the Roman conquerers.
The heroic story of Masada and its dramatic end attracted many explorers to the Judean desert in attempts to locate the remains of the fortress. The site was identified in 1842, but intensive excavations took place only in the mid-1960's.
To many Jews, Masada symbolizes the determination to be free in their own land.

Common Name: Tulip Poplar
Scientific Name: Liriodendron tulipifera
Thomas Jefferson described the Tulip Poplar as "The Juno of our Groves" when he forwarded seeds to a Parisian friend, Madame de Tesse, in 1805. The Tulip Poplar, also called Yellow Poplar or Tuliptree, is a fast growing tree and the tallest hardwood species of the eastern North American forest. It is both a majestic and graceful tree and is especially treasured in European parks and gardens, where it was first described in 1687. Its dramatic, golden yellow autumn color, its ornamental, orange and green, tulip-like flowers, and its unusual leaves and quick growth lend this species the mythological glory Thomas Jefferson justly admired.
Host plants of the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
The caterpillar feeds on host plants of many different families.[2] Common host plants used are those of the Magnoliaceae and Rosaceae families, with species including tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera)
The Düsseldorf Media Harbor, or Medienhafen, is a striking example of urban regeneration that has transformed a derelict industrial port into one of the city's most fashionable and dynamic districts. Once a bustling commercial harbor filled with warehouses and disused buildings, the area began its dramatic makeover in the 1990s. City planners embarked on a strategic project to rejuvenate the waterfront, focusing on a plot-by-plot approach that blended new, avant-garde architecture with the preservation of historic industrial elements. The result is a vibrant hub that seamlessly combines the old and the new, attracting both locals and tourists with its unique atmosphere and creative energy.
The architectural landscape of the Medienhafen is its most prominent feature, showcasing the works of some of the world's most renowned architects. The most iconic structures are undoubtedly the "Gehry Buildings," officially known as the Neuer Zollhof. Designed by the visionary Frank O. Gehry, these three asymmetrical, sculptural high-rises—clad in stainless steel, red brick, and white plaster—have become a symbol of modern Düsseldorf. Other notable buildings include the Colorium, with its eye-catching kaleidoscopic glass facade by William Alsop, and the sleek Stadttor by Helmut Jahn. These architectural masterpieces stand alongside renovated historic warehouses, creating a visually captivating and diverse urban environment that has made the area a must-see for architecture enthusiasts.
Beyond its architectural appeal, the Media Harbor is a thriving economic center. As its name suggests, it is home to over 800 companies, primarily from the media, advertising, and creative sectors. The area's revitalization was driven by a vision to create a hub for these industries, and the project has been a resounding success. The modern office buildings and refurbished industrial spaces provide a unique and inspiring setting for creative work. This concentration of innovative firms has not only revitalized the district but has also solidified Düsseldorf's reputation as a major player in Germany's creative economy.
The cultural and leisure offerings in the Medienhafen are as diverse as its architecture. The waterfront is lined with a variety of trendy cafes, upscale restaurants, and vibrant bars, catering to the district's sophisticated crowd. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of culinary experiences, from Mediterranean cuisine and gourmet burgers to fine dining with stunning views of the Rhine River. The area is also a popular spot for leisure activities, whether it's a stroll along the promenade, a sightseeing cruise on the river, or simply enjoying the lively atmosphere. The fusion of business and pleasure makes the Medienhafen a destination where people can work, dine, and relax in style.
In essence, the Düsseldorf Media Harbor is a testament to the power of thoughtful urban redevelopment. It has successfully transformed an aging industrial zone into a modern, stylish, and economically significant district. By preserving its historical character while embracing cutting-edge architecture and new industries, the Medienhafen has created a unique identity. It stands as a symbol of Düsseldorf's reinvention and a vibrant, forward-looking neighborhood that attracts a mix of creatives, business professionals, and tourists alike, all drawn to its dynamic blend of art, commerce, and culture.

In the 1970s, the Communist Party of Romania decided to put a wider focus on marketing for tourism to their country. Because of the location of Bran Castle, its dramatic architecture, its connection to Vlad III Dracula and his connection to Bram Stoker's Dracula, the castle was marketed as the "real Dracula Castle". This benefited tourism and improved Romania’s economy.
This is a black and white version of a colour photo uploaded a few days ago. I liked the complimentary colours of the blue sky and gold corn stubble in the original but this version is also appealing for its dramatic effect. A little light toning was applied, plus light overall vignetting and some burning of the bottom edge.

Corfe Castle is an iconic medieval fortification situated above the village of the same name on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, England. Today, its dramatic ruins—nestled in a gap within the Purbeck Hills—stand as a poignant reminder of centuries of turbulent history in southern England .
Built shortly after the Norman Conquest, Corfe Castle is one of the earliest examples of stone fortifications in England. Its strategic location, controlling a narrow gap on the route between Wareham and Swanage, made it a key military stronghold from the outset.
Over the 12th and 13th centuries, the castle underwent significant expansion and modification. In the 17th century, amid the upheavals of the English Civil War, the castle was one of the last Royalist bastions in southern England. Lady Mary Bankes notoriously led its defense against Parliamentarian forces, but by 1645 the castle fell, and Parliament ordered it to be slighted—deliberately rendered unusable as a military fortification .
Ocean Point in East Boothbay, Maine, is a scenic, historic summer colony known for its dramatic rocky coastline, stunning ocean views, and quiet atmosphere.

The west window of All Saints Pavement contains a sequence of stained glass panels from c1370, depicting Christ's Passion & Resurrection. They were originally in the now redundant church of St Saviour in York and were reinstalled here in the mid 20th century.
All Saints in Pavement, York is distinguished by its dramatic octagonal tower, a major landmark of the city and masterpiece of late medieval architecture. The church itself is of mainly 14th/15th century date, though lost its chancel in the following centuries. The west window contains reset late 14th century panels depicting the Passion.
This church is generally open and welcoming to visitors.
Centaurus A, also known as NGC 5128, is well known for its dramatic dusty lanes of dark material. Hubble's observations, using its most advanced instrument, the Wide Field Camera 3, are the most detailed ever made of this galaxy. They have been combined here in a multi-wavelength image that reveals never-before-seen detail in the dusty portion of the galaxy.
As well as features in the visible spectrum, this composite shows ultraviolet light from young stars, and near-infrared light, which lets us glimpse some of the detail otherwise obscured by the dust.
The dark dust lane that crosses Centaurus A does not show an absence of stars, but rather a relative lack of starlight, as the opaque clouds block the visible light from reaching us. Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 has focussed on these dusty regions, which span from corner to corner in this image. Wider views from ground-based telescopes show this stripe crossing the entire galaxy.
The Westmorland Dales In The Yorkshire Dales National Park
This is an area of tremendous history and there are stone circles, remains from the romans and medieval villages to be found.
In the Mallerstang valley you will find the atmospheric ruins of Pendragon Castle with its reputed connection to Uther Pendragon – the father of King Arthur. Towering over the castle is Wild Boar Fell where Sir Richard de Musgrave is thought to have killed the last wild boar in Britain. There could be something in this as his tomb is in Kirkby Stephen church and, when it was examined, in addition to his bones there were two wild boar tusks.
More modern history was created by the building of railways. The Settle to Carlisle railway cuts through the Westmorland Dales as part of its dramatic journey through the Dales with its stunning examples of Victorian engineering. There was also Stainmore Railway which was built to bring coal from the Tees Valley over to Cumbria for use in making iron. Although this railway closed in the 1960s it has left some tremendous reminders of its existence such as the viaducts over Podgill and Smardale and the station at Kirkby Stephen East.

A small country church between Fort Valley and Marshallville, Georgia. The only way to get the sign in the picture with the church was to stand out in the highway right on the middle line. I kept listening for the sound of very fast vehicles from left and right while holding the frame and checking the exposure, which kept changing as the sun ducked in and out from behind the clouds above. To my right was a hill so as soon as a vehicle was heard I had to move immediately. Fortunately, no vehicles came while I took this photograph. Photography has its dramatic moments.

Although this railway closed in the 1960s it has left some tremendous reminders of its existence such as the viaducts over Podgill and Smardale and the station at Kirkby Stephen East.
