So, here's how it works, if the original images stumped you: You look at both images, and then cross your eyes so that the two dots line up within the third image that turns up between the two others. When they do, you can focus on other parts of that image, and the two minifigs appear to be closer than the trucks in the background. Weird, isn't it?

The Ubehebe Craters are an isolated group of overlapped maars in the Cottonwood Mountains, beyond the upper end of Death Valley, in Inyo County, California. The youngest volcanic feature is Ubehebe Crater. It is a large volcanic crater of the Ubehebe Craters volcanic field.
Ubehebe Crater is located at the north tip of the Cottonwood Mountains. The crater is half a mile (one kilometer) wide and 500 to 777 feet (150 to 237 m) deep. The age of the crater is estimated from 2,000 to 7,000 years old. The crater was formed when magma migrated close to the surface and the heat of the magma flashed groundwater into steam, throwing large quantities of pulverized old rock and new magma across the stony alluvial fan draped across the valley floor. The magma rose through a fault that lies along the western base of Tin Mountain. Movement on this fault was responsible for uplift of the entire Cottonwood Mountains range.
There are three major trails at the crater. One trail goes from the parking area to the bottom of Ubehebe, a second circumnavigates the crater rim, while a third trail leads off to Little Hebe.

Old Delhi (Hindi: पुरानी दिल्ली; Punjabi: ਪੁਰਾਣੀ ਦਿੱਲੀ; Urdu: پُرانی دِلّی; Purānī Dillī), is a walled city of Delhi, India, was founded as Shahjahanabad (Persian: شاه جهان آباد) by Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in 1639. It remained the capital of the Mughals until the end of the Mughal dynasty. It was once filled with mansions of nobles and members of the royal court, along with elegant mosques and gardens. Today, despite having become extremely crowded and dilapidated, it still serves as the symbolic heart of metropolitan Delhi.
HISTORY
The site of Shahjahanabad is north of earlier settlements of Delhi. Its southern part overlaps some of the area that was settled by the Tughlaqs in the 14th century when it was the seat of Delhi Sultanate. The sultanates ruled from Delhi between 1206 and 1526, when the last was replaced by the Mughal dynasty. The five dynasties were the Mamluk dynasty (1206–90), the Khalji dynasty (1290–1320), the Tughlaq dynasty (1320–1414), the Sayyid dynasty (1414–51), and the Lodi dynasty (1451–1526).
Delhi remained an important place for the Mughals, who built palaces and forts. Most importantly, it was Shah Jahan, who had the walled city built from 1638 to 1649, containing the Lal Qila and the Chandni Chowk. Daryaganj had the original cantonment of Delhi, after 1803, where a native regiment of Delhi garrison was stationed, which was later shifted to Ridge area. East of Daryaganj was Raj ghat Gate of the walled city, opening at Raj Ghat on Yamuna River. First wholesale market of Old Delhi opened as the hardware market in Chawri Bazaar in 1840, the next wholesale market was that of dry fruits, spices and herbs at Khari Baoli, opening in 1850. The Phool Mandi (Flower Market) of Daryaganj was established in 1869, and even today, despite serving a small geographical area, it is of great importance due to dense population.
After the fall of the Mughal Empire post 1857 revolt, the British Raj shifted the capital of India to a less volatile city, Calcutta, where it remained until 1911. After the announcement of the change, the British developed Lutyens' Delhi (in modern New Delhi) just south-west of Shahjahanabad. At this point, the older city started being called Old Delhi, as New Delhi became the seat of national government. It was formally inaugurated as such in 1931. Until the 1930s, few people ventured outside the walled city; thus in the following years, as the walled city got more and more congested, other areas around it were developed.
WALLS AND GATES
It is approximately shaped like a quarter cìrcle, with the Red Fort as the focal point. The old city was surrounded by a wall enclosing about 6.1 km2, with 14 gates:
- Nigambodh Gate: northeast, leading to historic Nigambodh Ghat on the Yamuna River
- Kashmiri Gate: north
- Mori Gate: north
- Kabuli gate: west
- Lahori gate: west close to the Sadar Railway station, Railway Colony, including the tomb of Syed Abdul Rehman Jilani Dehlvi.
- Ajmeri Gate: southeast, leading to Ghaziuddin Khan's Madrassa and Connaught Place, a focal point in New Delhi.
- Turkman Gate: southeast, close to some pre-Shahjahan remains which got enclosed within the walls, including the tomb of Hazrat Shah Turkman Bayabani.
- Delhi Gate: south leading to Feroz Shah Kotla and what was then older habitation of Delhi.
The surrounding walls, 3.7 m wide and 7.9 m tall, originally of mud, were replaced by red stone in 1657. In the Mughal period, the gates were kept locked at night. The walls have now largely disappeared, but most of the gates are still present. The township of old Delhi is still identifiable in a satellite image because of the density of houses.
The famous Khooni Darwaza, south of Delhi Gate and just outside the walled city, was originally constructed by Sher Shah Suri.
Streets and neighbourhoods
The main street, now termed Chandni Chowk, runs from the Red Fort to Fatehpuri Masjid. Originally a canal ran through the middle of the street.
North of the street, there is the mansion of Begum Samru, now called Bhagirath Palace. South is the street is Dariba Kalan, a dense residential area, beyond which is Jama Masjid. Daryaganj is a section that used to border the river at Rajghat and Zeenat-ul-Masajid.
The Urdu language emerged from the Urdu Bazaar section of Old Delhi. The Din Dunia magazine and various other Urdu publications are the reason of this language staying alive.
MAIN ARTERIES
- Netaji Subhash Marg/Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg leading to India Gate (north and south)
- Chandni Chowk/Khari Bawli Road (east and west)
Old Delhi is approximately bounded by these modern roads:
- Gokhle Marg (south)
- Mahatma Gandhi Marg road (east)
- Shraddhananda Rd (west)
- Jawaharlal Nehru Marg (south)
In 1876, Carr Stephen described the city as follows:
Of the two streets described by François Bernier, the longer extended from the Lahore Gate of the city to the Lahore Gate of the citadel, and the other from the Delhi Gate of the city to the Lahore Gate of the fort. Both these streets were divided into several sections, each of which was known by a different name.
The section between the Lahore Gate of the fort and the entrance of the street called the Dariba, known as the Khuni Darwazah, was called the Urdu or the Military Bazaar; owing, very probably, to the circumstances of a portion of the local garrison having been once quartered about the place. Between the Khuni Darwazah and the present Kotwali, or the Head Police Station of the city, the street has the name of Phul ka Mandi or the flower market. The houses in front of the Kotwali were built at a short distance from the line of the rest of the houses in the street, so as to form a square.
Between the Kotwali and the gate known as the Taraiah, was the Jauhari or the Jewellers' Bazaar; between the Taraiah and the neighbourhood known as Asharfi ka Katra, was, par excellence, the Chandni Chauk. There was a tank in the centre of the Chauk the site of which is now occupied by the Municipal Clock Tower, and beyond this to the Fatehpuri Masjid was the Fatehpuri Bazaar. The houses round Chandni Chauk were of the same height, and were ornamented with arched doors and painted verandahs. To the north and south of the square there were two gate-ways, the former leading to the Sarai of Jehan Ara Begum, and the latter to one of the most thickly populated quarters of the city. Round the tank the ground was literally covered with vegetable, fruit, and sweetmeat stalls. In the course of time the whole of this long street came to be known as the Chandni Chauk.
This grand street was laid out by Jahanara Begam, daughter of Shah Jahan. From the Lahore Gate of the fort to the end of the Chandni Chauk the street was about 40 yards wide and 1,520 yards long. Through the centre of this street ran the canal of 'Ali Mardan, shaded on both sides by trees. On the eastern end of the Chandni Chauk stands the Lahore Gate of the Fort, and on the opposite end the handsome mosque of Fatehpuri Begam).
The clock tower no longer exists, although the locationn is still called Ghantaghar. The Sarai of Jehan Ara Begum has been replaced by the city hall. The kotwali is now adjacent to Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib.
HISTORICAL SPOTS

OLD DELHI CUISINE
Old Delhi is well known for its cuisine. There area in and around Jama Masjid and Lal Kuan are predominantly Muslim. Hence the cuisine here is more meat dominant Mughlai cuisine. The area in and around Chandni Chowk is predominantly Jain and Baniya communities. Hence the food is strictly vegetarian and in a lot of cases made without onion and garlic. The famous Gali Paranthe Wali and Ghantewala halwai are also situated here.
Old Delhi is also famous for its street food. Chandni Chowk and Chawri Bazaar areas have many street joints that sell spicy chaat (tangy and spicy snacks).

This is from my first roll with the Holga, and I found out too late that I was on the 16 exp setting with a 6x6 mat. This led to some happy accidents with overlap, and I look forward to working more with the camera.
This one is actually a collaboration with e50e. Erin took the photo of the Modern Cafe on Chicago Ave. (St. Paul, MN) and I took the photo of the flag outside of a hardware store in Golden Valley.
I think they work rather nicely together.

This splendid fragment, etched overall and richly gilt, must have belonged to one of the most magnificcent Brescian horse armors of the sixteenth century. It consists of five plates forming the rear half of a crinet that originally must have comprised ten or more plates; the poor alighment of the plates indicates that they are not in their original order. The inverted, U-shaped plates are embossed along the medial ridge with backward-overlapping scales etched with foliage. The sides of each plate are etched in alternating designs. One pattern consists of foliate scrolls inhabited by birds, grotesque creatures, and nude putti (with and without wings), the ornament left white against a plain recessed and gilt ground. The other comprises symmetrical, vertically aligned candelabra ornament consisting of vases or foliage, trophies of arms, and platforms supporting images of warriors or allegorical figures. All the designs are gilded and executed againts a dotted ground. The lowest crinet lame, which is etched with two panels of alternating pattern, ends with a boldly turned and roped edge. The lower edges of the plates terminate in semicircular scales, each having a roped edge bordered by a sunken band etched with foliage on a dotted ground. The centers of the scales are etched with flowers, trophies, or a mask left white on a plain recessed and gilt ground.
The variety of ornament, high quality of etching, and extensive gilding distinguish this crinet from most other Italian armors of the second half of the sixteenth century. It comes so close to the Metropolitan Museum's Brescian horse armor from the Collalto armory (acc. no. 21.139.1a–x) in the style of etching and choice of motifs, as well as in the organization of the designs into panels of alternating motifs, as to have originated in the same workshop. The raised band of overlapping scales down the center of the crinet is echoed in the etched scales on the tail guard of the horse armor. It is possible that, like the Museum's bard, this crinet originally belonged to a complete armor, perhaps with a matching armor for the man as well.
The only other element matching the crinet appears to be a shaffron in Konopiště Castle, near Prague. The collection at Konopiště comprises principally the remnants of two distinguished armories: the dynastic armory of the Este family, dukes of Ferrara and Modena, and that of Tommaso degli Obizzi, at Catajo Castle, near Padua, which included the Obizzi family armory along with pieces collected by Tommaso in the late seventeenth century. The Obizzi collection, which contained pieces acquired from the Medici armory in Florence dispersed between 1773 and 1780, was bequeathed to the Este in 1803; the newly augmented Este collections passed by inheritance into the Hapsburg family that same year. The penultimate owner, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, who was assassinated at Sarajebo in 1914, transferred the arms and armor to his hunting castle at Konopiště, which was nationalized by the new Republic of Czechoslovakia in 1918. The complex and confusing provenance of arms and armor at Konopiště––Este, Obizzi, or Medici––makes it difficult now to identify the source of the shaffron and its matching crinet.
Questo splendido frammento, nel complesso inciso all'acquaforte e riccamente dorato, doveva appartenere ad una delle più magnifiche armature equestri bresciane del Cinquecento. Si compone di cinque lastre formanti la metà posteriore di un crinet che originariamente doveva comprendere dieci o più lastre; lo scarso allineamento delle tavole indica che non sono nell'ordine originario. Le placche a forma di U invertite sono impresse lungo la cresta mediale con scaglie sovrapposte all'indietro incise con fogliame. I lati di ogni piatto sono incisi in disegni alternati. Un modello è costituito da volute foliate abitate da uccelli, creature grottesche e putti nudi (con e senza ali), l'ornamento lasciato bianco su un semplice fondo incavato e dorato. L'altro comprende candelabri simmetrici, allineati verticalmente ornamenti costituiti da vasi o fogliame, trofei di armi, e piattaforme che sostengono immagini di guerrieri o figure allegoriche. Tutti i disegni sono dorati ed eseguiti su fondo punteggiato. Il crinet più basso lame, che è inciso con due pannelli di motivo alternato, termina con un bordo arditamente tornito e cordato. I bordi inferiori delle lastre terminano in scaglie semicircolari, ciascuna avente un bordo cordato delimitato da una fascia incavata incisa con fogliame su fondo punteggiato. I centri delle squame sono incisi con fiori, trofei o una maschera lasciata bianca su un semplice fondo incavato e dorato. ciascuno avente un bordo cordato delimitato da una fascia incavata incisa con fogliame su fondo punteggiato. I centri delle squame sono incisi con fiori, trofei o una maschera lasciata bianca su un semplice fondo incavato e dorato. ciascuno avente un bordo cordato delimitato da una fascia incavata incisa con fogliame su fondo punteggiato. I centri delle squame sono incisi con fiori, trofei o una maschera lasciata bianca su un semplice fondo incavato e dorato.
La varietà dell'ornamento, l'alta qualità dell'acquaforte e la ricca doratura distinguono questo crinet dalla maggior parte delle altre armature italiane della seconda metà del Cinquecento. Si avvicina tanto all'armatura equestre bresciana del Metropolitan Museum dall'armeria Collalto (acc. n. 21.139.1a–x) nello stile dell'acquaforte e nella scelta dei motivi, nonché nell'organizzazione dei disegni in pannelli a motivi alternati , da avere avuto origine nella stessa bottega. La fascia rialzata di scaglie sovrapposte al centro del crinet trova eco nelle scaglie incise sulla protezione della coda dell'armatura del cavallo. È possibile che, come il bardo del Museo, questo crinet appartenesse originariamente a un'armatura completa, forse con un'armatura abbinata anche per l'uomo.
L'unico altro elemento corrispondente al crinet sembra essere uno zafferano nel castello di Konopiště, vicino a Praga. La collezione di Konopiště comprende principalmente i resti di due illustri armerie: l'armeria dinastica degli Estensi, duchi di Ferrara e Modena, e quella di Tommaso degli Obizzi, al Castello del Catajo, vicino a Padova, che comprendeva l'armeria della famiglia Obizzi insieme a pezzi raccolti da Tommaso alla fine del Seicento. La collezione Obizzi, che conteneva pezzi acquisiti dall'armeria medicea di Firenze dispersi tra il 1773 e il 1780, fu lasciata in eredità agli Estensi nel 1803; le nuove collezioni estensi passarono per eredità alla famiglia Asburgo nello stesso anno. Il penultimo proprietario, l'arciduca Francesco Ferdinando, assassinato a Sarajebo nel 1914, trasferì armi e armature nel suo castello di caccia a Konopiště,

Questa è una storia di donne ribelli.
Donne che probabilmente in tempi passati sarebbero state internate.
Donne che trattengono dentro la loro potente forza selvaggia.
Donne a cui ancora è preclusa la piena espressione personale e quindi si trovano intrappolate fra due “regni”, che continuano a sovrapporsi e a scontrarsi mentre ci si sforza di essere intere.
Una mostra che racconta un sentiero evolutivo verso la consapevolezza.
L’ordine del racconto è sviluppato in fasi, peculiari di ogni donna narrata, ma che in qualche modo si passano il testimone. Legandoci così le une alle altre a trarre forza dalle genealogie, in un processo che ci permette di tendere verso la presa di coscienza che conduce alla liberazione.
