A Manila tambol aparador / armoire
Estimate: PHP 1,200,000 - 1,300,000
2nd Quarter, 19th century
Manila
Narra and kamagong wood, bone, kamagong and lanite inlays, silver mounts
196 x 125 x 51.5 cm (77 x 49 x 20 in)
Kamagong wood was very scarce and expensive even over 170 years ago. Artisans would combine it with narra wood not only for those restrictive reasons but also to create an attractive and contrasting color effect. Originally made in Manila, this style subsequently spawned several variations – from Bulacan and Ilocos in the north to Laguna in the south – each with vernacular modifications. However, only the wealthiest who could afford such luxury furniture had them in their homes.
Classical Greek, Roman and Egyptian motifs are clearly evident, aside from the contrasting wood color of the dark kamagong frame and honey-brown narra centers that became de rigueur again in the early 19th century. The top frieze is inlaid on three sides, with scrolling leaves and flowers centering a large honeysuckle flower. The effect of using big-sized and light brown-colored lanite inlays against dark kamagong background is reminiscent of the oyster veneer, a decorative technique popular in England in the 17th century. The half-round pilaster columns, inlaid border inlays on the doors, the large foliated flower on the beaded apron, and the lotiform feet have been masterly executed. Opening the doors with turned kamagong pulls with silver centers and a spade-shaped silver escutcheon reveals four shelves and four drawers with knob pulls. This type of aparador remains scarce and highly desirable.

Please forgive me for the following tantrum and indulge me just this once. It's not often I have a rant on flickr.
I get sick and tired of "proper" wildlife photographers having a go at those of us who choose to photograph in a zoo. To suggest that all the animals pose nicely and make photographing them a doddle, with no challenge or skill involved whatsoever, is misleading, ignorant and unfair. There is always skill involved in capturing any animal, whatever its surroundings may be, and other zoo photographers will vouch for the fact that there are certain challenges that a wild environment does not present, such as reflection, glare, and enclosure design.
If a photo is nice, and you get something out of it, does it matter what the story behind it is? Sure, a tale about being charged by a silverback or nearly stampeded to death by a herd of pissed off elephants is maybe a tad more exciting than "I waited for over an hour just to get this shot" (see above) but the bottom line is a good photo is a good photo is a good photo. I suspect that much of the disdain directed at zoo photographers is driven by a disapproval of zoos in general, which has nothing whatsoever to do with photography now does it?
Just for the record, I highly, highly respect those who are lucky enough to photograph animals in their natural envornment. I'm deeply envious of their skill and their opportunity. But why must certain elitists take the pleasure out of this hobby for those of us without the same privilege as them? Please don't tell me that I've got it easy or that there is no skill involved when I'm damn proud of the images I produce and the time and effort I put into them. Your superior and dismissive attitude really is unwelcome and ugly.
The Bedouin,(from the Arabic badawī, pl. badū), are a predominantly desert-dwelling Arab ethnic group (previously nomadic). The Bedouins are divided into five related tribes. These tribes were organized on several levels—a widely quoted Bedouin saying is "My brothers and I against my cousins, then my cousins and I against strangers". This saying signifies a hierarchy of loyalties based on closeness of kinship that runs from the nuclear family through the lineage, the tribe, and even, in principle at least, to an entire ethnic or linguistic group (which is perceived to have a kinship basis). Disputes are settled, interests are pursued, and justice and order are maintained by means of this organizational framework, according to an ethic of self-help and collective responsibility (Andersen 14). The individual family unit (known as a tent or bayt) typically consisted of three or four adults (a married couple plus siblings or parents) and any number of children.

View Large On Black - This was taken a couple years ago here in Dallas at the rookery on the UT Southwest Medical School campus close to downtown. Hundreds, if not thousands of birds come back every spring to do their genetic duty, squabble, raise their young and smell the place up. Pretty amazing to see really... but it does get kind of RIPE toward the end of the season. Judging from the size of the stick, I'm not sure if this guy was building a nest... or a log cabin.
Having spent a great deal of time down here the last few years I've got a ton of nest building egret images so I was trying for something different in the processing here.... Something that would lend itself to sort of a soft, dreamy feeling. Something other than just another picture of an egret w/ a stick!

Explicación sobre la obra pictórica de ARTHANIA
La energía que rodea al ser humano está por todas partes, por ello es adecuado rodearse de obras bellas y armoniosas,

Leven onder de as van de vulkaan, dag in, dag uit... alle hotels zijn leeg en verwoest. De stad lijkt heel hallucinant. Ook de huizen zitten onder de as. Nog één hotel blijft met staats-steun open voor de enkele verdwaalde toeristen. De lokale bevolking is erg uitgedund. Alleen heel arme mensen zijn genoodzaakt om te blijven wonen. Aan ons hotel is er elke dag een ploeg paraat om de as weg te scheppen, een heel ongezond werk. De as is heel zacht en voelt aan als losse zachte poeder. Er valt voortdurend as uit de lucht en na enkele uren zit je onder het stof. Veel mensen lopen voortdurend met een masker voor de mond, om de longen te beschermen. De rode tong en tanden bij veel mensen wordt veroorzaakt door het kauwen van 'betelnut'. Een mengsel van mosterdzaadjes, kalk en beetlenoot.
De Tavurvur is een actieve stratovulkaan nabij de Papoea-Nieuw-Guineaanse stad Rabaul op de noordoostelijke punt van het eiland Nieuw-Brittannië. Het vormt het meest actieve onderdeel de Rabaulcaldera (8 bij 14 km), waarbinnen het gelegen is aan de oostelijke rand. De vulkaan is binnen de stad Rabaul berucht om de vele verwoestende uitbarstingen.

NYC IxDA - The 7-Minute IxD Soapbox (a.k.a. Pecha Kucha)
2007-11-13 / Method / SoHo, NYC
At this fast-paced event, we're giving seven people a chance to share their ideas — for just seven minutes each. The only rule is that topic must relate to interaction design. Of course, if you simply prefer to take it all in, you're welcome to participate as an audience member.
TOPICS
Anything goes, as long as it's related to interaction design or user experience. Present some of your work; talk about a design problem you're facing; rant about a device you don't like; effuse about your favorite product; share some results from a usability test; question the value of market research in product development; relate an experience with redesigning a product. If you don't want to soapbox alone pair up with a friend or colleague. Heck, you could even do a parody of your favorite IxD guru, if you're so inclined! If it's something you're interested in, chances are very high we're interested too.
GOAL
To connect people in our diverse and powerful community who are interested in having their interaction design neurons stimulated. This event will be an extraordinary grab-bag of local voices. Practice your speaking and presenting skills! Spark some debate! Make new friends and enemies! Gain new insights!
FORMAT
Speakers may use presentation slides, show off short multimedia, demonstrate something online, or just shoot from the hip. Just make sure it's 7 minutes and no longer. After the seven soaps, we'll hold Q&A and/or discussion. Caveat: Nomenclature debates about our roles and what we call ourselves as practitioners (IA, UX, IxD, HCI, CHI, UCD, etc.) will be reserved for anyone wishing to go to the nearest pub after the event.

Hastings is a town and Borough on the coast of East Sussex in England. It includes originally separate settlements, as well as the inevitable growth of the town through the building of new estates.
In historical terms, Hastings can claim fame through its connection with the Norman conquest of England; and also because it became one of the medieval Cinque Ports. Hastings was, for centuries, an important fishing port; although much reduced, it has the largest beach-based fishing fleet in England. As with many other such places, the town became a watering place in the 1760s, and then, with the coming of the railway, a seaside resort.
The Net Huts - These tarred and weatherboarded structures date from the 17th century, before the Stade developed. At this time, there was nowhere to spread the nets to dry so they were made as tall as possible to give Fisherman enough space. Restored with a Heritage Lottery Grant, they're now one of the town's most historic landmarks.
The Stade - The stretch of shingle beach from which the fishing fleet launches has been known as 'The Stade' (the Saxon term for 'landing place') for over a thousand years.

.The "Vappu" 1st May celebrations, most popular venue is Kaivopuisto or Brunnsparken, where hundreds of people congregate, mostly wearing their white caps, visible symbols of matriculation.
Many have tables and chairs (or blankets) and set them up for brunch, with champagne for drink. Some even set up pavillions. The technical students and graduates have black tassels hanging from their caps. I have my father's cap at home.
I only noticed two weeks ago that three of the technical students in the photo have their caps back to front :))

'California Herring Gull' On Black
Adult Herring Gulls are similar to California Gulls but are larger, have pinkish legs, a yellow iris, paler backs, and a slightly thicker yellow bill with more pronounced gonys. First-winter Herring Gulls are extremely similar to young California Gulls but usually have entirely black bills and only show contrasting secondaries in flight, and lack contrasting greater secondary coverts. Immature birds can be distinguished by back color when it is acquired but are otherwise probably best separated by the subtleties of size, shape, and bill shape. Adult Herring Gulls are similar to adult Ring-billed Gulls but are much larger with larger bills and a more pronounced gonydeal angle. Ring-billed Gulls have yellow legs and a complete black ring on the bill. Immatures Herring Gulls are browner overall than immature Ring-billed Gulls and show less contrast between the upperwing coverts and the secondaries. Adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls are much darker-backed and have yellow legs, while first-year birds are very similar but have whiter rumps, darker wing coverts, entirely black bills through their first summer, and paler heads and underparts that are spotted with brown. Western Gull is quite similar in subadult plumages but has a white rump that contrasts with back in first-year plumages, a larger bill, and shows the distinctive dark back color by the second winter. Immature Glaucous-winged Gulls lack the contrast between the upperwing coverts and primaries shown by all Herring Gulls. Thayer' Gull differs from Herring Gull primarily by morphological features. Glaucous-winged x Western Gull hybrids are typically larger-billed than Herring Gulls, and show paler primaries as immatures and a single white mirror on primaries as adults.

The great thing about Wales is that all trails lead to a pub.
And because I'm not too good on my feet at the moment,,,I'm tending to see more pub than trail.
Seeing as my daughter knows how to handle a screwmount Leica, I get to be in some of the photographs when she's around too. This shot looks like it's 6x6 format, but that's because it was the last shot on the roll, and for some reason the right hand edge got wrecked, so I had to crop it.
Of course, all the writing in Wales and the Welsh Language (like on the front of this pub) is back to front, relative to English, because we read written Welsh from right to left, like the peoples of The Levant, from whom, as Welsh people, we are all descended.
In the far West of Wales, in Cardyland, they often speak it backwards too, though this practice is slowly dying out as free schooling for children over 8 years old spreads there, thanks to the enlightened policies of our fairly recent and independent Welsh Assembly Government. Also, they wish to avoid the label of Satanism.
Unlike other countries, which either drive on the left or right hand side of the road, in our little but very ancient country, we drive on both, alternating between each side depending on the phase of the moon, and whether the month has a letter 'R' (written backwards) in it or not.
It's all to do with Welsh Druidism and the ancient rights of cattle drovers.

“Navegámos para Oriente -
A longa costa
Era de um verde espesso e sonolento
Um ver imóvel sob nenhum vento
Até à branca praia cor de rosas
Tocada pelas águas transparentes
Então as ilhas luminosas
De um azul tão puro e tão violento
Que excedia o fulgor do firmamento
Navegado por garças milagrosas
E extinguiram-se em nós memória e tempo”

The theme for The Rogue Players group today is Politics. Now, I don't take a stand about too much politically because I feel that most things are so muddied that it doesn't seem to matter what I think...if I can even figure out what I think...about the topic.
However, one area that I will forever take a stand on is gender equality. So this is my political pinch to remind all of my favorite flickr ladies how far we've come and how far we still have to go.

ENGLISH
The Indian Peafowl, Pavo cristatus, also known as the Common Peafowl or the Blue Peafowl, is one of the species of bird in the genus Pavo of the Phasianidae family known as peafowl. The Indian Peafowl is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent. The peacock is the national bird of India.
The species is found in dry semi-desert grasslands, scrub and deciduous forests. It forages and nests on the ground but roosts on top of trees. It eats mainly seeds, but also some insects, fruits and reptiles.
Peafowl are most notable for the male's extravagant display feathers which, despite actually growing from their back, are known as a 'tail' or a train. This train is in reality not the tail but the enormously elongated upper tail coverts. The tail itself is brown and short as in the peahen. They are a result of sexual selection and are displayed as part of courtship.

CASTELLANO
Pavo cristatus (Pavo real, Pavo real de la India, o Pavo real de pecho azul) es una de las dos especies de aves pertenecientes al género Pavo, que desde tiempos antiguos destacó entre los animales admirados por el hombre a causa del extraordinario abanico policromado que constituye la cola de los machos.
El pavo cristatus es una especie sexualmente dimórfica. Su longevidad es de aproximadamente 15 años, aunque se conocen casos de especímenes que vivieron en cautiverio más de 20 años.
Provisto de un pico fuerte, su cabeza esta cubierta de un plumaje azul brillante y coronada por un copete de plumas. El macho de la especie alcanza una longitud de 2,20 m y un peso de hasta 5 Kg: Su plumaje de color azul iridiscente con reflejos verdosos es característica, pero sin duda el principal atractivo lo constituyen sus más de cien plumas coberteras de hasta 2 m de longitud, que -al desplegarse - forman un majestuoso abanico tachonado por ocelos en tonos dorado, azul y verde.
Estrictamente el abanico no es la "cola" ni las alas del animal-de color pardo- se presenta por atrás y abajo de las coberteras, aunque pasa desapercibida ante la magnificencia del penacho desplegado. El macho puede abrirlo a partir de los tres años de edad, y las coberteras se renuevan anualmente. Por esta causa durante el otoño los machos quedan privados de su fastuoso adorno.

Choral Evensong on the occasion of welcoming the Rt Revd Dr Matthew Porter as Bishop of Bolton at Manchester Cathedral. Picture by Paul Heyes, Sunday June 23, 2023.
I'm so bored and sick of life right now. It feels like I am just living day to day to one day die. Nothing exciting happens in my life. I know I'm to blame for not making anything happen, but I'm in a rut. My mouth is killing me. I hate my hair right now, I want to cut it and color it, but I'm to cheap and feel like I've been spending too much money lately. I want to lose weight and be skinny and cute again, but there is absolutely no motivation to do anything about it. So I just sit here looking like a fat ugly ass, hating myself for being fat and ugly. I want to wear cute clothes and little tight jeans again. Or shirts without sleeves when it's hot. i brought my bike into the house so I could look at it and it would motivate me. I got used to it sitting there by the door, and started hanging things on it. I finally moved it to the garage. I feel tired all the time. I get plenty of sleep at night, but I'm so tired and my eyes are falling by like 4pm. So, I nap for a little. Then I stay up until past 2am. My house is so cluttered and messy, but it takes everything in me to just dust and vacuum. We eat out every single night, except when I get all crazy and will cook for like a week straight. I want to cook dinner every night, but I hate going to the grocery store, and so I just avoid it and we eat out again and again. I just want to be like Martha Stewart except I am lazy and tired and bored and hate everything. I always have "big plans" but I never go through with anything, ever.
I'm just sick of myself, and I want to change me, but I have no idea where to even begin or how to do it. Plus, like I said I'm lazy, and even if I knew how to do it I would be to lazy to do it. Basically, I need to know how I become unlazy?
Santes Creus nace en espíritu el 1150, cuando la familia de los Montcada cede la primera ubicación del monasterio en Valldaura del Vallès. La primera fecha, pero, de posesión del lugar de Santes Creus en el valle del Gaià la encontramos el 1158. Dadas las disensiones jurisdiccionales entre el obispado de Barcelona y el arzobispado de Tarragona, el monasterio fue víctima de un pleito que motivó que su adscripción fuese exenta de ninguna diócesis. La fachada principal de la iglesia, coronada por almenas, data del siglo XII y presenta una portalada románica con un gran ventanal gótico. La planta es de cruz latina, queda cerrada por detrás del altar y retablo mayor, de Josep Tremulles (siglo XVII), con un gran rosetón. Tiene además tres robustas naves y cinco capillas abacales, muy cerca del altar mayor se localizan las tumbas de Pere II el Gran (siglo XIII) por un lado, y de Jaume II y Blanca d'Anjou (siglo XV) por el otro. El cenobio convertido en panteón real por el primero de estos reyes fue fortificado durante los siglos XIV y XV. El monasterio conserva dos claustros, el de la entrada turística que es gótica y reemplazo uno de anterior románico, del cual sólo queda el templete del lavatorio.
Santes Creus spirit born in 1150, when the Montcada family gave the first location of the monastery in Valldaura del Vallès. The first date, but in possession of the place of Santes Creus in the valley of Gaia we find the 1158. Given the jurisdictional disagreements between the bishop of the archdiocese of Barcelona and Tarragona, the monastery was the victim of a lawsuit that led to his secondment was free of any diocese. The main facade of the church, surmounted by battlements, XII century Romanesque doorway and features a large window with a Gothic. The plant is a Latin cross, is closed behind the altar and reredos, Josep Tremulles (seventeenth century), with a large rosette. Also has three sturdy ships and five chapels abacales, near the main altar are located the tombs of Pere II the Great (thirteenth century) on the one hand, and of James II and Blanche d'Anjou (XV century) on the other. The monastery converted into a royal pantheon by the first of these kings was fortified during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The monastery preserves two cloisters, the tourist entry replacement is Gothic and Romanesque previous one, which is the only temple of the washing.

"Il complesso de La Venaria Reale è un unicum ambientale-architettonico dal fascino straordinario, uno spazio immenso, vario e suggestivo.
La Venaria Reale è il Borgo antico cittadino, scrigno di eventi e vicissitudini storiche; è l'imponente Reggia barocca che, con i suoi vasti Giardini, rappresenta uno dei più significativi esempi della magnificenza dell'architettura e dell'arte del XVII e XVIII secolo; è il Parco de La Mandria, una della maggiori realtà di tutela ambientale europea in cui vivono liberamente numerose specie di animali selvatici e domestici, e dove è custodito un notevole patrimonio storico-architettonico.
I nuovi splendori e la strepitosa qualità delle architetture della Reggia restaurata, l'immensità e la bellezza dei Giardini e degli spazi naturali del Parco, consentono di trascorrere amabilmente il proprio tempo immergendosi in sensazioni nuove e cogliendo esperienze diverse, secondo una concezione moderna ed alla portata di tutti del "gusto", del "loisir" e dell'"arte di vivere".
La Reggia di Venaria Reale e la residenza de La Mandria sono stati dichiarati dall'Unesco Patrimonio dell'Umanità."
"The Venaria Reale site is a unique environmental and architectural experience of extraordinary interest. It is an immense, varied and imposing space where the visitor cannot help feeling drawn into the magic atmosphere of cultural attractions and amusements that were the pastimes of nobility.
Venaria Reale and the old market town represent a treasure trove of historic events and trials and tribulations. We sense this in the imposing baroque palace, with its vast gardens, one of the most significant examples of the magnificence of architecture and art in the 17th and 18th centuries. We sense it, too, in the La Mandria Park, one of the finest examples of European environmental havens where numerous species of both domestic and wild animals live in complete freedom, and where a significant legacy of historic and architectural wealth is preserved.
The new splendours and exceptional quality of the architecture of the restored ‘Reggia’ palace, the immensity and beauty of the gardens and natural spaces in the park allow visitors the opportunity to spend their time immersed in new sensations, savouring new experiences and enjoying the modern concept - accessible to all - of “taste”, “leisure time” and the “art of living”.
The ‘Reggia di Venaria Reale’ royal palace and the residence of La Mandria have been declared “World Heritage” sites by UNESCO."
