A car with a donkey drives through a busy alley in Egypt.
On top of the car there are scales to weight lemons.
My eye was caught by the light falling on the bowls with backlight.
Sweet memories of a lovely holiday in Egypt. Nearly 20 years ago.
Wikipedia: Pholiota squarrosa, commonly known as the shaggy scalycap, the shaggy Pholiota, or the scaly Pholiota, is a species of mushroom in the family Strophariaceae. Both the cap and the stem are covered in small, pointed scales that are pointed downward and backward. The crowded gills are yellowish, then later rust-brown. The mushroom has an odor that, depending on the author, has been described as resembling garlic, lemon, radish, onion, or skunk. It has a strong taste, resembling radishes. (I haven't tasted them, nor have I smelled that garlic odor, etc.) Common in North America and Europe, it is a secondary parasite, in that it attacks trees that have already been weakened from prior injury or infection by bacteria or other fungi. It has a wide range of hosts among deciduous trees, although it can also infect conifers. It can also live as a saprobe, deriving nutrients from decomposing wood. Though edible to some, it may be toxic, especially if consumed in combination with alcohol. The mushroom contains unique chemicals thought to help it infect plants by neutralizing defensive responses employed by them.

From a week's family vacation in a rented house in Skagen, Denmark - April 02, 2021.
The photo is taken at the Højen beach west of the town.
This image could be a close up or a hill side. I deliberately left out any scale indication. It is the eroding side of a hill. I just liked its graphical nature when isolated and stripped of reference points.
But the dried grasses might give it away.
Tools (scales) I acquired years ago, and
used for measuring ft/lbs of torque. I used smaller scales for lesser rotational force measurement. I always considered them heavy duty and beautiful.

I've only had two chances to shoot here at Mesita NM., but, on my second visit the scale of the area really caught my eye. I took the occasion to frame a westbound stack to show just how massive the red sandstone mesa that the transcon skirts around is. It is hard to believe that there are segments of sandstone that have broken off the face over millennium that are bigger than the locomotives that now routinely roll past them. The west is a wide open place that always lets you know how small we really are.
Another shot from my trip to Scale Haw Force, Hebden, North Yorkshire - beautiful at any time of year!
A view of the sheer enormity of the marsh grasses at the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge, September, 2024. I had this one in my mind's eye, with the high winds today bending the grasses.
