A stump most likely leftover from the eruption 31 years ago. Lots of new growth trying to replenish the landscape. This area was stripped clean by a Lahar during the eruption. Mount St. Helens. I was fishing on a lake in Central Oregon and heard the eruption from there.
Une des magnifiques mosaïques au sol dans le chœur de la cathédrale de Cologne, Domkloster 4, Cologne (Köln), Land de Rhénanie-du-Nord-Westphalie, Allemagne.
La mosaïque au sol du chœur fait environ 1300 m². Elle a été conçue par August Essenwein de 1885 à 1892. Dans le déambulatoire, les mosaïques racontent l’histoire de la construction de l’église de Cologne.
Sur cette photo on voit un chevalier symbolisant l’empire romain germanique à qui on présente la cathédrale de Cologne bien reconnaissable avec ses deux flèches.
C’est en 1248 que débuta la construction de cette cathédrale nommée Dom Sankt Peter und Santa Maria (Haute Église Saint-Pierre et Sainte-Marie). Celle-ci est inspirée de celles de Paris, Reims et Amiens. Destinée à recevoir les reliques des Rois mages offertes à la ville en 1164 par l’empereur Frédéric Barberousse, son édification a duré plus de 600 ans (1248-1880). Elle est la troisième plus grande cathédrale gothique, après la cathédrale de Séville et celle de Milan. Beaucoup d'historiens de l'art y voient l'harmonie par excellence entre les diverses pièces architecturales ainsi que le bijou du style gothique du Moyen Âge. C'est pour cette raison qu'elle a été inscrite, en 1996, sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO (WHL-292bis).
Cologne (Köln) est la métropole rhénane et l'une des plus grandes villes d'Allemagne. Ville commerciale de premier plan, elle est aussi la capitale allemande de la télévision. Outre sa célèbre eau connue dès le 16e siècle, la cité est réputée pour son carnaval (5 jours précédant le mercredi des Cendres) pendant lequel touristes et Colonais se déchaînent et font la fête sans discontinuer. Devenu du temps de Charlemagne, un archevêché, douze églises romanes et sa célèbre cathédrale gothique, dont les deux flèches noires sont devenues le symbole de la ville, témoignent de son importance en tant que centre religieux pendant le Moyen Âge. Les 12 églises romanes, élevées sur des lieux de sépultures de saints et d'évêques, ont influencé par leurs formes, l'évolution de l'architecture romane bien au-delà de la Rhénanie.
The present-day structure was mainly built in the 12th century. Since there are no quarries in the area, the stone for the construction had to be purchased from an abbey in Peterborough and delivered by boat to Ely. The payment terms were 8,000 eels a year - because the Peterborough monks liked to eat them and before the fens were drained, catching eels was a major industry in Ely and the source of the town name which means Isle of Eels.
The cathedral is known locally as "the ship of the Fens", because of its prominent position above the surrounding flat landscape.
Detail from a site specific work I really enjoyed at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
The work is by Barbara Kruger (1945), an American conceptual artist and collagist, whose work often employs ironic quotes, questions and paraphrases to challenge and stimulate the viewer and question mass culture’s representations of power, identity and sexuality.
Within the art piece, you are immersed in room sized text. The whole piece covered an immense area.

a bright full moon rose
seeming near enough to touch
perigee present
~Mim Eisenberg
I shot this last night from my front yard without a tripod. It's by no means a great photo, but it is a shot of the full moon that is the brightest of 2008 because it is at perigee, the closest it gets to Earth in its orbit around it. In fact, it is the closest perigee since 1993, at just 221,560 miles from Earth. Its farthest apogee will be on December 26, when it will be 252,650 miles away.
I hope to catch up with you later, but I may be preoccupied with an unpleasant task: trying to stop a spoofer who, though one of my listservs, has appropriated some addresses, including mine (which is on a Mac!) and is using it to send virus-infected spam. If I don't get back to you today, please understand and know how much I appreciate your visits.
EDIT: I've learned that it was just one person who happens to be on the listserv whose address book was breached. Nevertheless, all the addresses in that address book are now in the hands of the spammer, even those that are on a Mac. There's little that can be done. Fortunately, I've been made aware of just one spam message containing a virus-infected attachment that was sent by a spoofer impersonating me, or using my address as the return address.

Fog adds to the moodiness of this area and slips me back into a time past....love this area and spend a good deal of time wandering through here....especially when the moody element of the day or season is in full swing. Nothing like the charm of today and yesteryear to merge...

Stars: always making a dramatic exit!
Webb’s powerful infrared eye has captured never-before-seen detail of Cassiopeia A (Cas A), the remnant of a massive star that exploded about 340 years ago - from our perspective here on Earth. (Despite being 11,000 light-years away, this supernova may have been visible to the naked eye when it took place, something that has not been seen in our galaxy since.)
Let’s dissect the image: The left side of the image (shown in orange) marks where ejected material from the exploded star is ramming into surrounding gas and dust. Within that outer shell is material from the star itself, including elements like oxygen, argon and neon. What’s that green loop on the right? Scientists are still puzzling out its unexpected shape and complexity.
As the youngest known remnant from an exploded, massive star in our galaxy, Cas A offers unique clues into a star’s death. By studying Cas A, Webb astronomers may also learn more about the origins and production of cosmic dust — which forms the elements we’re made of.

Image description: A roughly square image is rotated clockwise about 45 degrees, with solid black in the corners. Within the image is a roughly circular nebula with complex structure. On the circle’s exterior, particularly at the top and left, lie curtains of material glowing orange. Interior to this outer shell lies a ring of mottled filaments of bright pink studded with clumps and knots. At center right, a greenish loop extends from the right side of the ring into the central cavity. Translucent wisps of blue, green and red are throughout the image.
Note: this image is presented in this orientation to match other telescope's images of this object for easier comparison.

Thisr panel is about time and communication. The floating woman is the muse of radio and represents the middle of the day. Pegasus, the winged horse, moves in union with her. The torch she carries is symbolic of knowledge. The lightening bolt symbolizes the power of electricity and the immediate availability of radio communication.

Today's #macromonday mini-theme over on Google+ is "Festive", and little Danbo was surprised to find a present waiting for him. Now if only he had the fingers with which to unwrap it...
Some presents are simply the best. I am going to love wearing my new T shirt. If you're not familiar with Baby Shark Dance here's the link and of course you can join in.
There’s no time like the present…for presents! Merry Christmas everyone!

The nictitating membrane (from Latin nictare, to blink) is a transparent or translucent third eyelid present in some animals that can be drawn across the eye for protection and to moisten it while maintaining visibility.
