HILL OF CROSSES
It was raining a lot, but I managed to visit this historical and religious place.
Hill of Crosses is a major site of Catholic pilgrimage near the city of Šiauliai. The precise origin of the practice of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain, but it is believed that the first crosses were placed on the former Jurgaičiai or Domantai hill fort after the rebellion against Russian authorities in 1831. As families could not locate bodies of perished rebels, they started putting up symbolic crosses at the site of a former hill fort. Today there are more than 100,000 crosses and counting. Once Lithuania declared its independence, the Hill of Crosses was used as a place for Lithuanians to pray for peace, for their country, and for the loved ones they had lost during the Wars of Independence. In 1993, Pope John Paul II visited the Hill of Crosses, declaring it a place for hope, peace, love and sacrifice.

With just, precise, urgent words, but all united to surround love. The work of the Uruguayan Marosa di Giorgio (1932-2004) always had this sensitive topic at the centre of her poetry, but in one and a thousand ways she knew how to build an exquisite aesthetic to escape (with notable success) the expected. In La flor de lis, she gives us a series of poems that had already been published in other contexts or separately, so having them together delineates a corpus where lives is the access to a delicate and explosive eroticism that invites us to buy a travel ticket to the few pages.
Before that, the dedication that opens the book ("Poems of love to Mario") already says a lot as a foretaste, but that feeling will be resignified with the page running because we all have someone we love against all evil, and just for Marosa, Mario was that. At the same time, the guy stood as a totem pole stealing his days, sighs and dreams, many dreams as a starting point for what will come pages ahead. That is why in the development gush out bubbles of images, passions and the fantastic emergence of new worlds where fire makes and dissolves as an inventor of new realities that overwhelm. To hear and feel the nerve of that feeling, the book comes with Diadema, a CD with the voice of Marosa reciting other writings, but where each and every one of the words acquires an outbreak as meaningful as the energy that emerges from a first time.

June 24, 2017 - "A sky burial is the act of leaving a corpse, cut into precise pieces by a Burial Master, exposed to the elements of nature. This Master would also be in charge of smashing and grinding the bones of the deceased body, and then leaving the prepared corpse out in their selected open site. This was their way of offering a final honorable service to their material body; sending it back to the earth, and serving as an offering of a meal to the vultures.
This form of burial often takes place at high elevation locations since the vultures are the desired creature to be fed. In addition, the physical location plays an important part in this selection of burial since there would be very little ground space that could be used as cemetery, and the ground would often be frozen, making it difficult to dig. This has therefore been the most common way of disposing dead bodies in Tibet"

This sky-burial location is next to the Papungka Monastery on the outskirts of Lhasa, Tibet.
Spink's chronology and cave history
Walter M. Spink has over recent decades developed a very precise and circumstantial chronology for the second period of work on the site, which unlike earlier scholars, he places entirely in the 5th century. This is based on evidence such as the inscriptions and artistic style, dating of nearby cave temple sites, comparative chronology of the dynasties, combined with the many uncompleted elements of the caves. He believes the earlier group of caves, which like other scholars he dates only approximately, to the period "between 100 BCE – 100 CE", were at some later point completely abandoned and remained so "for over three centuries". This changed during the Hindu emperor Harishena of the Vakataka Dynasty, who reigned from 460 to his death in 477, who sponsored numerous new caves during his reign. Harisena's rule extended the Central Indian Vakataka Empire to include a stretch of the east coast of India; the Gupta Empire ruled northern India at the same period, and the Pallava dynasty much of the south.
According to Spink, Harisena encouraged a group of associates, including his prime minister Varahadeva and Upendragupta, the sub-king in whose territory Ajanta was, to dig out new caves, which were individually commissioned, some containing inscriptions recording the donation. This activity began in many caves simultaneously about 462. This activity was mostly suspended in 468 because of threats from the neighbouring Asmaka kings. Thereafter work continued on only Caves 1, Harisena's own commission, and 17–20, commissioned by Upendragupta. In 472 the situation was such that work was suspended completely, in a period that Spink calls "the Hiatus", which lasted until about 475, by which time the Asmakas had replaced Upendragupta as the local rulers.
Work was then resumed, but again disrupted by Harisena's death in 477, soon after which major excavation ceased, except at cave 26, which the Asmakas were sponsoring themselves. The Asmakas launched a revolt against Harisena's son, which brought about the end of the Vakataka Dynasty. In the years 478–480 CE major excavation by important patrons was replaced by a rash of "intrusions" – statues added to existing caves, and small shrines dotted about where there was space between them. These were commissioned by less powerful individuals, some monks, who had not previously been able to make additions to the large excavations of the rulers and courtiers. They were added to the facades, the return sides of the entrances, and to walls inside the caves. According to Spink, "After 480, not a single image was ever made again at the site".
Spink does not use "circa" in his dates, but says that "one should allow a margin of error of one year or perhaps even two in all cases".
Role of Hindus in building Buddhist caves
The Ajanta Caves were built in a period when both the Buddha and the Hindu gods were simultaneously revered in Indian culture. According to Spink and other scholars, not only the Ajanta Caves but other nearby cave temples were sponsored and built by Hindus. This is evidenced by inscriptions wherein the role as well as the Hindu heritage of the donor is proudly proclaimed. According to Spink,
That one could worship both the Buddha and the Hindu gods may well account for Varahadeva's participation here, just as it can explain why the emperor Harisena himself could sponsor the remarkable Cave 1, even though most scholars agree that he was certainly a Hindu, like earlier Vakataka kings.

DONALD TRUMP AGAINST KAMALA HARRIS -
By Bernard Bujold -
The strategies are clear and precise for the November 5, 2024 vote!
Donald Trump's Republicans want to keep Joe Biden's image alive in the campaign and highlight his direct influence on Vice President Kamala Harris. The Democrats have the opposite strategy: to make people forget Biden's existence altogether...
Joe Biden won in 2020 because Covid had turned everything upside down and people feared chaos. They thought Biden would end the polarization, but he made it worse.
A specific feature of the 2024 campaign is that the momentum of the two political parties varies from week to week. In contrast, in the past, you could establish momentum that lasted an average of six months.
Kamala Harris reminds me of Hillary Clinton in 2016. Hillary had a high profile following her political career with Barack Obama, and she was wearing the name of a former president, Bill Clinton. Even with these two advantages, she failed because of the glass ceiling concerning women, but above all by focusing on the popular vote, contrary to her husband Bill's advice to target the key states...
In my opinion, Donald will replay 2016 by targeting key states rather than the popular vote, and in the end, the winner of the vote will not be decided on the character of Trump or Harris, but rather on the best effort to get the vote out in key states.
To be continued!

DONALD TRUMP CONTRE KAMALA HARRIS -
Par Bernard Bujold -
Les stratégies sont claires et précises pour le vote du 5 novembre 2024 !
Les républicains de Donald Trump veulent entretenir l'image de Joe Biden dans la campagne et mettre en avant son influence directe sur la vice-présidente Kamala Harris. Les démocrates ont la stratégie inverse : faire oublier l'existence de Joe Biden...
Joe Biden a gagné en 2020 parce que Covid avait tout chamboulé et que les gens craignaient le chaos. Ils pensaient que Biden mettrait fin à la polarisation, mais il l'a aggravée.
La campagne de 2024 se caractérise par le fait que la dynamique des deux partis politiques varie d'une semaine à l'autre. Dans le passé, il était possible d'établir une dynamique qui durait en moyenne six mois.
Kamala Harris me fait penser à Hillary Clinton en 2016. Hillary jouissait d'une grande notoriété suite à sa carrière politique avec Barack Obama, et elle portait le nom d'un ancien président, Bill Clinton. Même avec ces deux avantages, elle a échoué à cause du plafond de verre concernant les femmes, mais surtout en se focalisant sur le vote populaire, contrairement aux conseils de son mari Bill de cibler les états clés....
À mon avis, Donald va rejouer 2016 en ciblant les états clés plutôt que le vote populaire, et au final, le vainqueur du vote ne se décidera pas sur le caractère de Trump ou de Harris, mais plutôt sur le meilleur effort pour faire sortir le vote dans les états clés.
À suivre!

As long as we have the actual size and position of any object... human beings manage to sketch it out.....via any angle or any perspective scene...with the appropriate
angular rotation and velocity as well
ONLY THROUGH the computer software nowadays is not enough... we have to integrate our technical know how knowledge too ....
Because of the above reasons, we can turn it into animation or video format too. If are interested, kindly refer to

I did actually rent a little 'toy' underwater digital camera for two of the dives and this picture is about the sum total of all my underwater efforts. It's unsharp, the subject is facing the wrong way and is not parallel to the sensor plane. I toyed with the idea of getting my own 'toy' underwater camera but after this experience I know I would not be satisfied with anything but a housing for my digital SLR and a couple dedicated strobes...
This instrument was used for the precise recording and comparative study of different size skulls. These instruments are extremely rare and examples are almost never found outside of a museum. I decided to make this piece because of the rarity and have never seen a replica version of it.
Although this piece was originally made to be functional , my version is for decorative purposes only.
This piece is made from Copper, Brass, Resin and wood.
The skull is a highly detailed SOMSO brand skull model that has been slightly aged which comes with the craniometer. You may change out the skull to another one from your collection if you wish.

I love birds of prey - beautiful, vicious, inquisitive, precise, and calm when at rest - nothing speaks of self-believe and total knowledge that "there is no better than I" than an owl considering it's next feeding time.
Anyone that gets a chance to just sit quietly and watch them closely I'm sure will agree, it's the quiet moments that tell you the most about these animals.
If it wasn't for the fact that I've seen them feeding, I might have said in my next life I want to be an owl.
I am going to share some more raptor shots at some stage, maybe not part of the 365 project though as I have other plans developing.
Two really interesting shots I wanted to share today:
www.flickr.com/photos/anrb/4464260362/ - Does anyone else dare risk their relationship for 'that shot'?
Do take a look at the rest of the shots, particularly his fun with smoke series which I myself have been doing so is definitely an inspiration to take my own work further:

Secondly:
www.flickr.com/photos/lighthack/4462318154/ - there is no need to make your shots complicated, keeping it simple can often be just as effective. I'm gonna look at guitars through the viewfinder at some point, and this makes a great reference. Love it!
Dating back to ancient Egypt and commonly adopted by Greek and Roman civilizations, obelisks have served to be symbolic entrance points. The shadows of this tall object can be used with the power of the sun to tell precise time as well as seasons of the year.
this statue stands near the library in London and near the railway station
in such pose probably better to think...: )
This is JJ, he is a Jack-a- poo. He was rescued and barely alive, with little hope from our vet that he would make it. He's 5! I nursed him to health with a raw diet for the 1st year of his life. I have tried many holistic foods to help him, but his allergies always got the best of him. I finally found Precise, Lamb with Sweet-potato, and after the 2nd bag he is allergy free with clear skin and no ear infections! Thanks Precise!
How could I when every single one of these thermometers show a different temperature?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
