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.
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.
A powerful and dramatic sky scene featuring a massive accumulation of cumulus clouds. The sun is hidden just behind one large cloud mass, creating intense, fan-like ** crepuscular rays ** (sunbeams) that pierce through the deep blue sky. The bottom edge is anchored by the dark silhouette of treetops, emphasizing the immense scale and dynamic light above.
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.

Not sure what the status is with the original 'Maritime One' given the deal and repaints in DBC. A welcome sight therefore before a possible repaint, to capture this loco at the head of 6L61, under an STP. This was the forth train to traverse the Rylstone branch since midnight and it wasn't even 9am. Another three were seen later in the day.

Sense of scale - The distant and towering skyline of Bla Bheinn dwarfs a white cottage giving a sense of scale to the landscape.
