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.

This angle affords a better sense of scale than the one posted earlier.

Although St. Peter's is (much) bigger than Chartres cathedral, it does not feel that way. So in architecture we spent more time on the so-called Gothic than on the Renaisssance, although one of our profs was a Renaissance geek and called his office the "piano nobile" :-)
St. Peter's design and justification makes me think of Wittgenstein's stint as an architect for his sister's house, where numbers were deemed all important rather than feelings, and by all accounts the design was a disaster, he purportedly spent a fortune changing the ceiling height by millimeters to satisfy some abstract criterion. Make me doubt his philosophical acuity, although he did reneg on much of his formalist ideas later in life, quite inconclusively I thought.
St. Peter's is a bit like that in that it deals in numbers, size and cost. Columbus' New World gold going to the Catholic Church was a factor, and it did trigger Luther to do what he did. The size and cost are impressive, but the experience is more like that of a train station.
There are very few visual or human reference to the huge scale, just lots of multi-coloured visibly garish and expensive marble and mosaics, very nice, but distracting from the whole. St. Peter's is almost the size of the largest Giza pyramid, yet it fails to impress on scale.
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.

Sometimes you just have to find out what's down there.
An entry for Summer Joust's Subterranean category. More on Cyclopic bricks.
Another quick shot, just built the new design X-Wing.. initially I had reservations about it... but I love it, the design and building it.
On a very lazy and relaxed moment!
Happy Sunday, everyone

SCALE-CRESTED PYGMY-TYRANT Lophotriccus pileatus. This Scale-crested Pygmy-Tyrant was observed beside the VÃa Cunuco roughly 1 mile north of Mindo in northwestern Ecuador at 9:11 AM on September 13, 2017. These petite flycatchers are often heard but seldom seen as they tend to remain hidden in dense vegetation.
The Scale-crested Pygmy-Tyrant is a member of the tyrant flycatcher family Tyrannidae and is found from Costa Rica in Central America south to Colombia, northwestern Venezuela, Ecuador, and Perú in South America.

A little trip today to Scale Force near Buttermere. With a single 170ft drop followed by a further two 20ft drops Scale Force is considered the highest Waterfall in the Lake District.
Wordsworth described it as ‘a fine chasm, with a lofty, though but slender, fall of water’.
Reading and Northern PNEX with T-1 2102 takes 28 coal loads onto and off of the scale at North Reading Yard. The T-1 passes a group of railfans on the "corral" platform as well as SD50M #5049. After weighing their train, they proceeded south to Outer Station where they shoved it off into the yard.

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.
