For 121 Pictures in 2021 #60 "Modern technology", this is a modern wind farm, as well as a cotton field. While windmills have been around for hundreds of years the idea of generating electricity with them is fairly new. The technology has improved and become cheap enough now that wind generated power is becoming cost competitive with fossil fuel generated power. These things are popping up all over south Texas (and I believe west Texas as well), and is part of the power mix we get in Corpus Christi. There are hundreds of these turbines scattered over farmland within an hours drive of the city. These are about 5 or 6 miles from our house.
Maybe not so modern as QR codes have been around since 1994 but these days I've come to rely on them to bring up local restaurants and brewpub menus. Instantly I can read all about a brew or a meal or anything else on my cell phone.
Oh and Compa is very drinkable.
#60/121 Modern technology: 121 Pictures in 2021
strolling through the old town of pollença as the late afternoon sun washes the cobblestones in a warm glow, here's a moment where two worlds gently collide. the young woman, engrossed in her digital world, walks by a storefront named 'brechia', unaware of her reflection that perfectly mirrors her in the shop’s glass— a silent twin in the physical realm. it's a dance between the tangible and the transient, a snapshot where technology intersects with tradition in the heart of mallorca’s northeastern gem.
The cloud, the icloud the cloud cloud, is all about communication. These are all devices that we use on a day to day basis. As it so happened i had the perfect blue sky and one lonely cloud to take this picture.
The retouched and eroded hieroglyphs in the Temple of Seti I which are said to represent modern vehicles – a helicopter, a submarine, and a zeppelin or plane.
Some of the hieroglyphs carved over an arch on the site have been interpreted in esoteric and "ufological" circles as depicting modern technology.
The carvings are often thought to be a helicopter, a battle tank or submarine, and a fighter plane (some interpret this as a U.F.O.) However, these conjectures are largely based in pseudoarchaeology, and the picture often claimed as "evidence" has been retouched.

I've heard of Abydos for the first time for some time, through one of those sensationalist blogs with no credibility. The text said that in that temple, archaeologists had found new hieroglyphs when the plaster of a wall dropped and fell, revealing UFO-like aircraft drawings, including a figure that featured a helicopter. He would be known as the Abydos Helicopter. The most impressive thing about it was that it showed the photo of the hieroglyphs that really looked like flying machines. Was it fake or not?
The years passed and the veracity of the existence of these hieroglyphs always left me suspicious. If that were true, it could change the course of history. I realized that it was real when a theory came up trying to refute the interpretation of these hieroglyphics. In the explanation, this would be a "palimpsest"! Ah, now it's explained! Briefly explaining, a palimpsest is an overlap of hieroglyphs, it would be writing over, causing a false image.
When I first started planning the trip to Egypt, Abydos was one of the first places I marked on the map. And then finally came the day of seeing with my own eyes those mysterious figures on the walls of the temple. I will try to analyze here some details that are not normally seen on other blogs, books or TV shows and let each one reach its conclusion.
The first thing that is evident is that there is no trace of any plaster that has hidden the hieroglyphics. They are hieroglyphs written on the stone beam that serves as support for the slabs.
Observing the next hieroglyphs, whether on the left, on the right, or even on the opposite side of the flying machine figures, one clearly perceives that there was indeed the palimpsest practice in that temple, some even looking like scrawled drawings on top.
The theory of the palmypsestos of Abydos seems to prove by the example of the hieroglyphs around that controversial drawing. Once again archaeologists are able to end a myth using their academic theories. Will it be?
Something in the eyes of those less skeptical still prevents them from being convinced by these explanations. Even with the evidence that there really was palimpsest in the writings of Abydos, nothing explains the blatant "coincidences" of those specific figures. Why are flying machine-like figures concentrated (apart from the helicopter, are there 3 more ships in a row)? Why are they facing in the same direction (the inside of the temple)? Why are the overlapping of these specific scriptures not evident like the others?
These questions tend to remain. There are many coincidences in a temple that is one of the oldest places of worship in the world. And if that was the only mystery of this temple ... but it is not ... I would discover much more!
captured at bethesda terrace and arcade in central park, this photograph uniquely highlights the beautiful architecture through the lens of an iPhone held by an observer. the intricate details of the historic arches are mirrored in the modern device, creating a compelling contrast between old and new. the black and white treatment further emphasizes the timelessness of the scene, focusing on the textures and lines that define this iconic new york city landmark.
When capturing this image, I wanted to convey the silent power of this architectural feat in its nocturnal setting. My intention was to create an almost surreal atmosphere, where the geometric lines of the cables and the rhythmic succession of pylons stand out in the darkness. I chose this diagonal composition to emphasize the perspective and create a sense of infinite depth. The red lights on the pylons and the white lighting of the deck create a duality that I deliberately highlighted to emphasize the contrast between the massive structure of the viaduct and its apparent lightness. Through this photo, I wanted to show how modern architecture can transcend its utilitarian function to become a true nocturnal work of art.
taken by my eight-year-old son in a munich subway station with the sony a7cr i loaned him, this photo captures a moment of transition and reflection. a man, carrying a large bag over his shoulder, ascends the escalator. the glass wall beside him mirrors his figure, enhancing the sense of movement and travel. light gently filters from above, illuminating the scene, while the parallel lines of the stairs and escalator create intriguing geometry. the use of automatic settings and lightroom post-processing helped highlight the colors and contrasts, making the image crisp and vibrant. this photo illustrates how even a simple moment in a subway station can tell a story, especially when seen through the lens of a child.
Took a drive out to the wind turbines in Dorion, the roads were soft so I had to take a hike for a closer look of the wind turbines. It was windy today, I was surprised how noisy they were.

New way to check out, it is not for everyone. I am fine with checking myself out but there are some people that refuse to check themselves out, I think the stores need to accept that self checkout is not for everyone

In my opinion the construction is crazy and exceptional. Everytime if I am in Berlin I visit the dome, especially in the night.

Ich mag die Reichstagskuppel und gehe, wenn ich in Berlin bin, immer wieder gerne dahin, besonders abends oder nachts. Die Rampen wippen so schön und der Ausblick auf die Regierungsgebäude und die Stadt ist grandios. Ich finde die Konstruktion aus Glas und Stahl irre und außergewöhnlich.

Hiking up Billinge Hill with some friends of yore. Despite lockdown easing, there were not many people about. It was only until the next day I realised, they were probably watching Phil the Greek's funeral on TV. Their loss.
I thought it'd be interesting to try and get a photo like this. I liked the contrast, so I thought why not?
on the max-joseph-platz, in the heart of munich, two asian tourists pause to review their phone photos. the imposing statue of king maximilian joseph i stands as a silent guardian, framed by the grand facade of the bavarian state opera house. the contrast between the historic backdrop and the modern act of digital photography encapsulates the blend of tradition and contemporary life in this iconic square.

Inside the living room of a family who runs a small restaurant ; no other customers, so I was invited to sit with them and soon, they had forgotten my presence - except for the little boy, a bit intimidated at first (we had met before the winter but he had had time to forget my face).

A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and are increasingly used for other lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness.
When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of the semiconductor. An LED is often small in area (less than 1 mm2), and integrated optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern. LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output.
