I live in a house. Big Surprise, isn't it?
Well, I live in a very old house. The floorboards creak when you walk around the flat, they are also giving in to age; the damn floor is as wavy as an ocean floor during a tsunami!
But thankfully, these old floors are covered with (an equally old) carpet, so falling over whilst drunk isn't a problem! ;)
Fishing is something we Icelanders have done for centauries and it's been our livelyhood ever since some crazed outlawed vikings stumbled upon our shores a millenia ago(but not before stopping by in the UK and steal the pretty women).
So I suppose that the arcitect thougt covering the entiere house with rocks shaped a fish scales was a stupendous idea!
Let's face it. Living in house diguised as a fish is just silly...
This large-scale installation features a seven-meter (23 foot) diameter spherical model of the moon that showcases high-resolution NASA imagery of the lunar surface. The artwork is internally lit and provides a detailed representation of the moon. The model is accompanied by a surround-sound composition by award-winning composer Dan Jones. The artwork aims to highlight the latest moon science, gather personal responses and stories, and explore cultural similarities and differences related to the moon. It’s a truly immersive experience that allows visitors to observe and contemplate the moon’s beauty and significance from a new perspective.
The Museum of the Moon is touring various locations around the world. Currently, it is in the Exploratorium in San Francisco, where it will continue to be displayed until January 26, 2025.
Dopo aver cancellato per sbaglio alcune foto fatte a questa chiesetta nelle campagne toscane, sono tornata per catturare la sua scalinata in prospettiva..

Sometimes, when looking at a photograph it is difficult to judge the scale of elements within; the angle from which a photograph is taken alters dramatically the perceived scale which we view the image in our mind. I guess you may be struggling a little with this one taken with the camera nearly at ground level. Cast your eye to the V in the major rocks on the right of the picture and you will see a tree, perhaps that will now alter your perception of the scale? The two largest peaks were probably only five metres or so higher than the level of the camera, although considerably higher than the landscape surrounding this location.
Where? Oh yes, taken on a very warm day a few years ago at Hanging Rock in Australia.

This is a great old building next to the tracks at Scales Mound, IL, but getting good sun on this north side is all but impossible. Nevertheless, the Central of Georgia unit passing by made for a great scene back on 3-31-18. By the way, this point is just a quarter mile away from the highest point in Illinois.
The HO scale farmhouse kit is the same design as the one on my N scale layout, but each of us detailed ours a bit differently, and each of us scratchbuilt a shed for the farm vehicles.. Here is a link to my version of this building: www.flickr.com/photos/13893317@N06/8042816729/in/set-7215... . The amber wheat field in the background is painted on. The trees behind the farmhouse are a photograph that is cut out to help hide a hidden track in a carefully concealed trench that will eventually lead to a lower level featuring Emporia, Kansas.
This photo was taken of Steve Sandifer's HO scale layout. All his finished structures and scenery are superb. He models a Santa Fe branchline in central Kansas circa 1952. I photographed his layout on the 2014 Fall Layout Tour
at Railay East, Krabi, Thailand. It's not a very clear shot of the rock climber (in red shirt, white pants) but I wanted to show this popular activity in the Krabi area.
On the aforementioned Eastern Mistletoe (Phoradendron leucarpum; Durham NC, USA), I was pleased to find:
Soft Scale Insects - family Coccidae (~1-2 mm)

A helpful entomologist on Facebook identifies as:
Brown Soft Scale - Coccus hesperidum
Some of the scale insects have been parasitized by wasps, so we have a hemiparasitic plant, a parasitic insect of that plant, and a parasite of that insect--parasites all the way down.
Active Assignment Weekly: June 6-13: Nature's Geometric Shapes...
For the assignment, photograph a geometric shape created by nature.
Restriction: It can be set up by man ( ie: salt crystalizing,water freezing ) but can not be constructed by him (man).
Dare: Something other than a macro.
WIT: This is the skin from a rattlesnake that picked the shade of the wrong tree one hot day several years ago. I was with a group of people in southwestern North Dakota on a paleontology field trip. Upon returning to our camp site under a group of cottonwood trees this former snake struck out at a passing person...without the traditional rattling first. Out came the shovels and a few moments later the snake was shorter by a head. That was nearly twenty years ago and the skin is still hanging around in the garage. According to the web, a snake hatches with a fixed number of scales. The scales do not increase in number as the snake matures nor do they reduce in number over time. The scales however grow larger in size and may change shape with each molt. The darker portion in the middle is the back of the snake, the wider scales to the edges are from the belly. Light by afternoon sun, sharpened and cropped.
