We didn’t to the Fan Dance this day but the mixed group did well and undertook a good proportion of it.
Oshki is a Georgian monastery from the second half of the 10th century located in the historic province of Tao, now part of the territory of Turkey. The main church, dedicated to St John the Baptist, was built between 963 and 973. The Monasterys location in Turkey is in the village of Çamlıyamaç, in northeastern Erzurum Province, bordering Artvin Province.
he construction of the monastery at Osk/Oshki was sponsored by the Georgian Kings Bagrat eristavt-eristavi (prince of princes) and David III Bagrationi Kuropalates.
The blind arches are an important part of the whole decoration. In Oshki they stretch along the outer walls of the church in the south, east and north. It is an early example of the use of decorative blind arches on the facades. They divide the wall in line with the general architectural rhythm. The central part of the facade is mainly decorated with bas-reliefs.
Bas-reliefs, placed high above the central arch, are given the place of honour on the southern facade, which is the main facade of the church. They stand out from the flat surface. The eagle with an animal in his talons probably symbolises victory, and the whole sculptural composition the triumph of the heavenly forces represented by the archangels Michael and Gabriel. Oshki monastery was a major centre of Georgian literature and enlightenment during the Middle Ages.
In the province of Tao the power lay in the hands of the ruling dynasty of the Bagrationi, whose members Bagrat eristavt-eristavi and David Magistros are depicted lower down on the same facade, near the deesis, to show that the heavenly forces were the family's patrons. The figures are well proportioned, elegant in contour and form. The static postures of earlier donor portraits give way to free movement, and an equal attempt can be traced in the near three-dimensional renderings of the archangels and the deesis of the southern facade, as well as on a column in the southern gallery. The decorative system of the Oshki church also includes the low reliefs characteristic of the so-called transitional period in medieval Georgian art (8th - 10th centuries), when the old style had not yet given way completely, and new ways were evolving. Sculptors of the different generations must have worked on it. The church in Oshki already shows the tendencies that would eventually develop in the 11th century.
🇫🇷 Le pélican frisé, plus grand pélican du monde, se distingue par une impressionnante poche, située sous le bec, qui lui sert de « filet de pêche ». Cette poche extensible se colore en rouge en période de reproduction. En outre, il présente également un plumage blanc-gris et une touffe plumeuse située derrière sa tête et le long de son cou. Ses pattes grises sont palmées et plutôt courtes proportionnellement au reste de son corps. Il n’y a pas de dimorphisme sexuel Cette espèce est grégaire et vit en colonie. Elle pratique la pêche collective, les pélicans poussant les poissons vers la rive, où ils sont plus faciles à attraper. C’est également un migrateur partiel, qui voyage sur de courtes distances pour hiverner.
🇬🇧 The Dalmatian pelican, the largest pelican in the world, has an impressive pouch under its beak that serves as a "fishing net". This expandable pouch turns red during the breeding season. It also has greyish-white plumage and a feathery tuft behind its head and along its neck. Its grey legs are webbed and rather short in proportion to the rest of its body. There is no sexual dimorphism. This species is gregarious and lives in colonies. It fishes collectively, with the pelicans pushing the fish towards the shore, where they are easier to catch. It is also partially migratory, travelling short distances to winter.
🇩🇪 Der Krauskopfpelikan, der größte Pelikan der Welt, zeichnet sich durch eine beeindruckende Tasche aus, die sich unter dem Schnabel befindet und als "Fischernetz" dient. Diese dehnbare Tasche färbt sich während der Brutzeit rot. Außerdem hat er ein weiß-graues Gefieder und einen Federbusch hinter dem Kopf und entlang des Halses. Seine grauen Beine sind Schwimmhäute und im Verhältnis zum Rest des Körpers eher kurz. Es gibt keinen Geschlechtsdimorphismus Diese Art ist ein Herdentier und lebt in Kolonien. Sie betreibt Kollektivfischerei, wobei die Pelikane die Fische ans Ufer treiben, wo sie leichter zu fangen sind. Sie ist außerdem ein Teilzieher, der zum Überwintern kurze Strecken zurücklegt.
🇮🇹 Il pellicano dalmata, il più grande del mondo, ha un'impressionante sacca sotto il becco che funge da "rete da pesca". Questa sacca espandibile diventa rossa durante la stagione riproduttiva. Ha anche un piumaggio bianco-grigio e un ciuffo di piume dietro la testa e lungo il collo. Le zampe grigie sono palmate e piuttosto corte in proporzione al resto del corpo. Questa specie è gregaria e vive in colonie. Pesca collettivamente, con i pellicani che spingono i pesci verso la riva, dove sono più facili da catturare. È anche parzialmente migratrice, percorrendo brevi distanze per svernare.

También es parcialmente migratoria, recorriendo distancias cortas para invernar.
Eurasian blue tits, usually resident and non-migratory birds, are widespread and a common resident breeder throughout temperate and subarctic Europe and the western Palearctic in deciduous or mixed woodlands with a high proportion of oak. They usually nest in tree holes, although they easily adapt to nest boxes where necessary. Their main rival for nests and in the search for food is the larger and more common great tit.
The Eurasian blue tit prefers insects and spiders for its diet. Outside the breeding season, they also eat seeds and other vegetable-based foods. The birds are famed for their skill, as they can cling to the outermost branches and hang upside down when looking for food.
Still kicking, not gonna complain (much) about being super busy, just need to keep it up for 2 or 3 years and then retirement. Too soon to have what we called in the military, "short timers syndrome", where all the small annoyances really bug you out of proportion, and time can't go fast enough. Nope, not gonna go there, much.
Been home for a couple of days, so busy there when you only have a couple of days to visit family and do all the mundane things like laundry (I always bring enough clothing to last a month, the truck stop laundry machines are expensive and destroy clothing pretty fast) shopping for food and other items in preparation for the next month away. Even managed to get to my doctors appointment on time, and filled prescriptions. A battle on the prescriptions with my insurance company, why am I on the expensive drugs instead of some of the older cheaper ones. At least with the insurance company I was able to get things squared away, can't imagine dealing with some government bureaucracy.
So today suppose to be back on the road, but my pickup load wasn't ready, won't be until late tonight, errrr! Now waiting on my dispatcher to find something else, or god no, have to wait until tonight. So while waiting decided to post something and visit some of you on Flickr until duty calls again.
So many pictures ready to post, but decided on reposting this newly processed shot from 2016. Why? Because the orginal picture didn't do justice to the scene as I saw it. My processing skills have improved and it really shows in this example, in my opinion at least.
I'm including a link to my orginal posting so you can see what I mean, if you have time and feel like looking. No problem if you don't, I know everyone's busy.
Here's the orginal posting from a few years ago.

Marsh Tit - Poecile palustris
Globally, the marsh tit is classified as Least Concern, although there is evidence of a decline in numbers (in the UK, numbers have dropped by more than 50% since the 1970s, for example). It can be found throughout temperate Europe and northern Asia and, despite its name, it occurs in a range of habitats including dry woodland. The marsh tit is omnivorous; its food includes caterpillars, spiders and seeds. It nests in tree holes, choosing existing hollows to enlarge, rather than excavating its own. A clutch of 5–9 eggs is laid.
Marsh and willow tits are difficult to identify on appearance alone; the races occurring in the UK and are especially hard to separate. When caught for ringing, the pale 'cutting edge' of the marsh tit's bill is a reliable criterion; otherwise, the best way to tell apart the two species is by voice. Plumage characteristics include the lack of a pale wing panel (formed by pale edges to the secondary feathers in the willow tit), the marsh tit's glossier black cap and smaller black 'bib', although none of these is 'completely reliable'; for example, juvenile marsh tits can show a pale wing panel. The marsh tit has a noticeably smaller and shorter head than the willow tit and overall the markings are crisp and neat, with the head in proportion to the rest of the bird (willow tit gives the impression of being 'bull-necked').
A measure of the difficulty in identification is given by the fact that, in the UK, the willow tit was not identified as distinct from marsh tit until 1897. Two German ornithologists, Ernst Hartert and Otto Kleinschmidt, were studying marsh tit skins at the British Museum and found two wrongly-labelled willow tits amongst them (two willow tit specimens were then collected at Coalfall Wood in Finchley, north London, and that species was added to the British list in 1900).
The little globe is about 10 cm in diameter. That works out to about 31.4159 cm circumference or .314159 meter. According to google, Earth's circumference at the equator is about 40,075.017 km, in the neighborhood of 127,562,848.7 times bigger than this tiny thing. That works out to a earth to globe ratio of something like 1.28x10^8:1 Someone correct me if my calculation is wrong. Enjoy creating on Flickr Friday and thanks for any views, faves, and comments.
Shah-i-Zinda (Uzbek: Shohizinda; Persian: شاه زنده, meaning "The Living King") is a necropolis in the north-eastern part of Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
The Shah-i-Zinda Ensemble includes mausoleums and other ritual buildings of 9-14th and 19th centuries. The name Shah-i-Zinda (meaning "The living king") is connected with the legend that Kusam ibn Abbas, the cousin of the prophet Muhammad was buried there. As if he came to Samarkand with the Arab invasion in the 7th century to preach Islam. Popular legends speak that he was beheaded for his faith. But he took his head and went into the deep well (Garden of Paradise), where he's still living now.
The Shah-i-Zinda complex was formed over eight (from 11th till 19th) centuries and now includes more than twenty buildings.
The ensemble comprises three groups of structures: lower, middle and upper connected by four-arched domed passages locally called chartak. The earliest buildings date back to the 11-12th centuries. Mainly their bases and headstones have remained now. The most part dates back to the 14-15th centuries. Reconstructions of the 16-19th centuries were of no significance and did not change the general composition and appearance.
The initial main body - Kusam-ibn-Abbas complex - is situated in the northeastern part of the ensemble. It consists of several buildings. The most ancient of them, the Kusam-ibn-Abbas mausoleum and mosque (16th century), are among them.
The upper group of buildings consists of three mausoleums facing each other. The earliest one is Khodja-Akhmad Mausoleum (1340s), which completes the passage from the north. The Mausoleum of 1361, on the right, restricts the same passage from the east.
The middle group consists of the mausoleums of the last quarter of the 14th century - first half of the 15th century and is concerned with the names of Timur's relatives, military and clergy aristocracy. On the western side the Mausoleum of Shadi Mulk Aga, the niece of Timur, stands out. This portal-domed one-premise crypt was built in 1372. Opposite is the Mausoleum of Shirin Bika Aga, Timur's sister.
Next to Shirin-Bika-Aga Mausoleum is the so-called Octahedron, an unusual crypt of the first half of the 15th century.
Near the multi-step staircase the most well proportioned buildings of the lower group is situated. It is a double-cupola mausoleum of the beginning of the 15th century. This mausoleum is devoted to Kazi Zade Rumi, who was the scientist and astronomer. Therefore the double-cupola mausoleum which was built by Ulugbek above his tomb in 1434-1435th has the height comparable with cupolas of the royal family's mausoleums.
The main entrance gate to the ensemble (Darvazakhana or the first chartak) turned southward was built in 1434-1435 under Ulugbek.
These secretive little frogs spend a large proportion of their lifetime in bromeliads, where they breed. They often reside in bromeliads high off the ground, and are therefore much more frequently heard than seen. After hearing the unmistakable calls of the frog nearby, we were lucky to find this individual sitting in a bromeliad about 3-4 metres off the ground on a steep slope.
This frog is endemic to Cusuco National Park.
Location: Cusuco National Park, Sierra del Merendón, Honduras, Central America
Yes there is a mathematical equation I could conjure up for the ratio of the proportions of these but for this Flickr Friday shot let us just say small, medium and large mixing bowls.

This HYBYCOZO sculpture titled Point of View is in the Kitchell Family Heritage Garden.
Point of View 2022
Stainless Steel, Powder Coat Pigment, LED
This sculpture's patterns draw inspiration from Ukrainian cross-stitching, a traditional folk art from Ukraine, the birthplace of HYBYCOZO artist Yelena Flipchuk. This tribute to her cultural origins invites visitors to reflect on grief, resilience, joy, and the yearning for peace.
Please spin artwork gently.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

In Bangladesh, a large proportion of marine and freshwater fish landings are processed by drying. Dry fish is locally called ‘Shutki’. In winter, many fishermen catch fish mainly to make dry fish. But traditional drying methods are used in the absence of a modern dry fish preservation facility. Most of time they dry fish under sun; these dried fish can bring them profit by exporting them. The fish is also exported to different countries after meeting local demand, traders say. Demand for fish drying labor corresponds with the lunar cycle, with two high and two low weeks each month. A flexible labor force is thus required, and most workers are hired on a daily basis. These casual laborers, who often lack alternative employment options, are usually able to find work for around 15 days per month, but sometimes as few as 10. The working day runs from dawn to dusk (roughly 6.00 am to 6.00 pm), and there is a strong gender division of labor. Men perform tasks which include washing fresh fish, applying pesticides to prevent fly infestation, hanging fish up to dry on scaffolding, weighing and bagging dried product and loading it onto trucks. Women are responsible primarily for sorting fresh fish by species, tying pairs of churri and loitya together so that they can be hung up, and turning and further sorting of mixed fish species during the drying process. At least 50% of the causal laborers employed are women & child. Workers said they get daily wage of Tk 300 in addition to some raw fish.
One factor in what i call "true minifig scaling" is not to just keep the minifig height in mind, but also the fact that the original minifigs low hip joints might create the impressions of tires being "too large" for a vehicle. I also forget that fact myself sometimes, since i often place minifigs next to my vehicles. However, if you keep using the realistically proportioned "human fig" as a template next to your MOC, selecting the right tires/rims for your vehicles wont be any trouble.

A lagoon is a body of saline water that is partially separated from the adjacent sea and which keeps a proportion of saltwater at low tide. As well as providing an important habitat for seabirds, waterfowl and marshland birds, lagoons also contain unique invertebrates and specialist plants which make this type of habitat important to the UK’s overall biodiversity.
37 acres of littoral land and saline lagoons was purchased by the Society in 1991, with assistance from English Nature (now Natural England), after almost four years of fundraising and negotiations with the land owner. This area lies immediately south of a 33 acre area, which includes Easington Lagoon, which is owned by the Environment Agency and leased to the Society. A further 22 acres of land to the direct south of the Lagoons was purchased in 2000. This package of land is know as Beacon Lagoons, though has also variously been known as Beacon Ponds, Kilnsea Lagoons and Easington Lagoons. It was initially purchased primarily because of the Society’s interest in the little tern colony situated there.
The BLNR contains a variety of coastal habitats including sand dunes, shingle, salt marsh, saline lagoons and pools. The site is situated on the Holderness coast, 2km north of the Spurn peninsula and south-west of the village of Easington. It holds SSSI designation and is a potential SPA and a proposed Ramsar site because it comprises a variety of important features including:
· Its saline lagoons, which are a UK priority Annex 1 habitat under the EC ‘Habitats Directive’
· Its importance for its colony of over 1% of the British breeding population of little terns on its shingle beach and as a feeding and roosting site for important numbers of migratory birds
· Lagoons are included as a priority feature under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan
· Plants and animals which are either mainly or entirely restricted to a lagoonal habitat. These species include flora and fauna protected under schedules 5 and 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981).
The SHCS is responsible for the management of the BLNR, with the Spurn Bird Observatory involved in the organisation of the Little Tern Protection Scheme. A Tern warden (kindly funded by BP Exploration) is employed during the breeding season to help protect the birds against predation and from the accidental intrusion of beach users.
The water in the lagoons is strongly saline but not tidal, though storm surges may occasionally temporarily connect the lagoons with the sea. These breaches introduce marine organisms that may survive in the lagoons for several years. There is also an area of non-tidal salt marsh and some low dunes.
The main threat to the flora and fauna of the lagoons is the erosion of the beach by the North Sea and by the rise in sea levels. This ultimately threatens the site with ‘coastal squeeze’ whereby the lagoons will become tidal, eventually eliminating them altogether. It is expected the southern addition will eventually acquire a similar aspect to the present lagoons, which will prolong the life of the habitat and its associated flora and fauna.
Some vulnerable plant species such as Divided Sedge (Carex divisa) and Saltwort (Salsola Kali) occur here, along with Spiral Tasselweed (Ruppia cirrhosa) which is close to qualifying as a threatened species in the near future, and Sea Wormwood (Seriphidium maritimum) which is an Internationally important species.
Invertebrates characteristic of such lagoons as these are found here. Species include the mollusc Ventrosia ventrosa, the crustaceans Palaemonetes varians and Idotea chelipes, and the bryozoans Conopeum seurati. These are just a small example of the many different species in the lagoons.

“Wearing it, cursed by it, serving it, raging at it. Not always in that order.
Want it? Come, try and take it. Please."
A Delirious, Rambling Aberrant;
Born of a freak accident involving Vezok and the Spear of Fusion, Vezon was bound to the Mask of Life as its guardian.
Patiently awaiting his moment; A mutant spider, future visions and the two relics accountable for one's confused existence make for interesting company.
____________________________
I wanted to complement Vezon's chaotic origins through body horror and actual portions of Vezok (mine and Johann's specifically).
I reckoned it would be cooler if the mask fused into his chest (perhaps to further how toxic their relationship was), and I thought it might be neat if the spear could transform based on whether it was set to Fusion or Fission.
Another addition to my Inika/Piraka series, built to emulate Johann's Cursed Wasteland style as his Secret Santa, while coinciding with the 2006 Collab.
My first SS attempts amounted to nothing, so around mid-December I decided to repurpose an existing Vezon WIP, emulating Johann's grim-dark, inhumanly proportioned creatures.
It's hilarious coincidence that he chose Vezok and committed to the half-split so strongly, without any input from me!
Props to Yanni, Brick Brickolson and Buttloaf for their collective work on these fantastic 'box-art' edits.

(...) Before anyone could stop him, the newcomer snatched up the spear. He was about to use it on Vezok when he stopped.
“No, no, bad idea. That will just make another of him… of me… or else something worse."
Reidak slammed into the new arrival and pinned him against the wall.
“What are you? Some new trick of Makuta’s? What happened to Vezok?”
“This happened.” said the being calmly, hefting the spear.
Thok approached and looked at weapon. Carved into the side of the shaft were the words 'Spear of Fusion'.
“Hakann, you imbecile,” he snapped. “You used it in reverse. Instead of fusing Vezok with something else, you split him into two beings! This thing is a vezon.”
“A vezon?” repeated the newly created being. “Oh, yes, the Matoran word for ‘double.’ Yes, that does make sense. I will go by that name, then.
Of course, first I will have to eliminate all of you so no one else knows I am only half a being. You don’t mind, do you?”

Clouded Yellows (colias crocea) have a small proportion of females that have a white ground colour instead of yellow, and this form is known as helice. This is one such female but there is a problem, as this isn't a Clouded Yellow. This is an African Clouded Yellow (Colias electo) photographed in Ethiopia where Clouded Yellow does not occur. But this is a white female form, and all the other female African Clouded Yellows I saw were typical yellow-coloured. If this was a Clouded Yellow the form would be helice, but as this is an African Clouded Yellow it must have a different name. But I cannot find any reference to it on the internet. Can anyone help?

Local wood artists spent more than 400 hours carving almost 10 tonnes of local red ironbark timber to create Nala’s main body. Over 12 tonnes of marine grade stainless steel was used to form the frame and underbelly. The sculpture reaches almost 12 metres into the air.
Humpback whales migrate from Antarctica to the sub-tropical coastal waters of western and eastern Australia and Fiji to give birth and mate during winter and spring.
Each year at least 1200 humpbacks migrate 5000km to the eastern coast of Australia. Groups of whales or 'pods' start to arrive at the southern Great Barrier Reef in mid-June and in the following weeks they move further along the Great Barrier Reef concentrating in the southern Whitsundays area. On the southern migration back to Antarctic waters, a large proportion of the whales stop over for a few days in Hervey Bay. Most humpbacks will have left the Queensland coast by the beginning of November.

The body of the Green Tree Python is laterally compressed with a large head that seems disproportionate to the width of the body. The tail is prehensile. They have greatly elongated foreteeth. The color of the adults is bright to dull emerald green above with a complete or broken series of white or yellow scales along the vertebral line and a few scattered white scales on the sides. A series of short, light blue bars extend out from the vertebral line. The belly is cream to light yellow. There are heat sensitive facial pits within the scales bordering the upper lip. The juveniles are a bright lemon-yellow, gold or orange to brick red, often with a dark purplish-brown white-centered streak through the eye and a vertebral stripe of the same color with short bars of brown extending from the vertebral line. Length can reach 6.5 feet, but rarely exceeds 1/2 that.
Nocturnal and arboreal, Green Tree Pythons spend the day sheltered in tree hollows, epiphytic ferns and etc. Adults feed primarily on small birds either as they come in to roost or actively stalking them. They will sometimes be seen dangling from their strong prehensile tails while eating. They have a distinct and unusual resting posture. The coils are drawn into a series of folded loops neatly proportioned over a horizontal branch so that the head is always brought to rest in the center.
