This rectangular marble relief presents what is known as a Roman still life, in this case, it is composed of an unusual assortment of objects placed in and around an architectural structure, seemingly a ruin. An oversized crayfish hangs in the foreground and makes a strong vertical accent. Beside it is a finely detailed basket filled with two astragali, knucklebones of sheep or goat used as gaming pieces, and a murex shell that fits into a gateway in the middle ground. In the background, behind the dilapidated wall hang two plucked birds from a long gnarled tree branch.
The relief is worn on the edges. It is chipped and worn down on the edges; a leg and feelers of the lobster are missing. Otherwise, the condition is excellent. The section of the wall that is broken away was carved in this fashion by the sculptor to suggest a ruin. There is a light brown encrustation over most of the surface.

A seemingly crazy name for so beautiful a flower. Indians used the sap from these to color pottery... therefore the reason for the name. Found along the Pump Station Trail along the Eno River.
I decided to get a good jump on creating a set images of the Eno River and the wildflowers found there... there are reasons. Hence the upload of the most images I've ever done at once. Spring here was likely the same here as it was for you... a long time in coming. However, it did, and it literally exploded... I swear you can hear it as the leaves adorn branches, grasses sprout, and flowers bloom. It's been a hard, though fun time trying to stay ahead of it in terms of photography. Some things are easy to find, while others require skills needed for Easter egg hunts. Some images necessitate being at the far end of a trail toward sunset and then rush back to the car before the park closes. Then there's the wildlife to contend with... on the first 80° (26.67 °C) day, I walked straight into a pack of wild redbugs (chiggers). "Redbugs" are actually tiny arachnids, somewhat like ticks, that burrow into the skin and cause a deep and abiding itch that no scratch can reach. About a dozen of them have encamped around my right ankle and are threatening to chew my foot off, which would be regrettable... I need that foot to complete this project!
Seemingly, no one wants to see this guy pic, but personally I like him. He looked so cute standing there watching the parade...
Seemingly unrelated, the sextant, earthquakes, and port gave rise to what we now know as Portugal. In short, the invention of the sextant jump started the “age of discovery” and Portugal’s conquest of Brasil, Spain, Madagascar, Macau and others. Barrels of wine enticed sailors to endure the stench of life abroad. To keep the wine from fermenting into vinegar, brandy and cherries were added and thereby unwittingly creating port. England’s thirst literally fortified Portugal’s economy in the 18th century.
From the 2000 flamingos that winter in the Rio Formosa to the Moorish, Romans and Celtic, Portugal has a history of migrations.
This history is what shapes Portugal’s architecture, language and cuisine abound. For example, centuries of Roman influence account for the number of words that begin with “Al”, the word Arabic sounds like “a rabbit”.
In the Algarve Moorish mosques became Catholic monasteries and are now train depots, police stations, and other public facilities. Castles of various dictators are tourists attractions.
Rogers described as "seemingly portions of a raised tomb" fragments of sculpted stone decorated with gothic quatrefoils and heraldic shields
These form a small box-like object now situated railed-off on the floor against the east wall of the north aisle under the mural monument to John Courtenay 1732. This object was referred to by W.G. Hoskins as "a curious double heart-stone...a receptacle for the hearts of a Courtenay and his wife". The escutcheons show the arms of Courtenay alone and quartering a bend, on which in 1877 were visible three indistinct charges.
One escutcheon (bottom right) shows within a quatrefoil the arms of Courtenay of Molland supported by two dolphins, a heraldic badge of Courtenay of Powderham, beneath two interlaced Hungerford sickles, the heraldic badge of that family en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manor_of_Molland#/media/File:Hunger...
It therefore may well be the remains of the tomb of Philip Courtenay 1489 - the 1st Courtenay to be seated here after being given the manor of Molland by his mother at the time of his marriage to 1st wife Elizabeth 1438 - 1482 daughter of Sir John de Wonwell of Wonwell Court, Kingston, Devon widow of William Hyndeston of Wonwell 1458 with a son Robert Hyndeston 1452 -1480
Philip was the son of Sir Philip Courtenay 1463 of Powderham & Elizabeth heiress of Molland, daughter of Walter 1st Baron Hungerford 1449 & 1st wife Catherine daughter of Sir Thomas Peverell (his sister Elizabeth Luttrell Touchet Carey is at Dunster flic.kr/p/oGa2Wr )

Seemingly everyone in the city dries their clothes outside. Photo taken near the Sagrada Família (Barcelona, Spain)
A seemingly random bronze statue of a Maine lobsterman, with an uncanny resemblance to Will Rogers, located on the waterfront in Washington DC. (I wonder if he ever met a lobster he didn't like.) The statue only has the rather cryptic note that it was "placed here by the State of Maine, Camp Fire - Gundy's Harbor and their many friends."
Ewan seemingly never runs out of exuberance...he must have a secret supply hidden somewhere. Despite being probably the most reserved human being on the planet, Paul cannot help but exercise his chuckle-muscles.
Seemingly the E numbers in smarties make kids high as kites!! hence the inspiration for this weeks photo :o)
You have probably heard about Vietnam mainly through stories of its historical struggles for independence. But, there is much more to discover about this country which unique culture is more than four thou¬sand years old and abounds with wonderful legends and historical monuments. Vietnam is definitely a must-see destination to enrich your world-wide travelling.
Offering a tropical climate, Vietnam dis¬plays green vegetation all year round. Throughout its seemingly endless range of mountains, visitors can explore mysterious caves, some of which were discovered in recent years. Not only do they offer an unfor¬gettable scenery to admire, but they also pro¬vide great opportunities for geological, archaeological and historical research.
Visitors will also witness the peaceful coexistence of fifty-four ethnic groups, each with their own traditions, festivals, clothing, songs and dances. All of them have worked in harmony for thousands of years in order to build a nation and to form a strong
culture that has been able to assimilate other eastern and western cultures, while preserving its own unique identity.
Travelling over Vietnam, whether in ancient or modernized cities, in populous or peaceful villages, in remote mountain hamlets of ethnic minorities or quiet islands, is a great experience to get in touch with a fascinating nation, where tourists are always welcome.
Travel Atlas will provide useful tips, addresses, and precious information on geography, history, culture and tourism for those who wish to discover Vietnam.
seemingly freshly arrived from its float downriver (& maybe at least a little disoriented from its tumble in the rapids it had to've passed through). dunno if it's still on the island (caught it raccooning through our garbage bag that night; there's little else to eat there that's accessible) but the state of yesterday's compost dump today will be a clue...
This seemingly simple but nicely detailed and textured building I think is to be part of the University. Interesting, the board describing the builders etc mentions Arup, the designers of Greyfriars! So I'll guess this'll be labelled a eyesore in 40-50 years. And in 200 years we'll all be pissed because we knocked down all our heritage..
Despite the seemingly painful stick in his eye socket, this snowman still smiles.
I also noticed that this snowman had to have been built prior to the blizzard. How do I know? A) the blizzard snow was HORRIBLE for packing (much too powdery to roll into snowballs for making snowmen); B) no evidence of snow rolling nearby; C) the snow blew and drifted around him during the blizzard (look around his base; it's just like all the trees look after the blizzard).
Seemingly more interested in picking flowers than finding Easter eggs, a toddler squats on the lawn of the Village Pavilion on Patrick Henry Village in Heidelberg April 24. (U.S. Army photo by Elizabeth Casebeer, USAG Baden-Württemberg)
My Rit dye finally came in the mail and I got around to dyeing my Allan. I tried to stove top boil my Allan but weirdly he wasn’t taking on dye as quickly as more modern vinyl dolls so I was standing there for half an hour trying to get Allan to take on any colour.
That didn’t work so I waited until the pot cooled down enough to not warp the plastic then I tossed all the pieces of Allan to soak overnight. I pulled them out today and I’m kind of saddened that he isn’t as dark as I hoped (I was thinking Live Action Christie). Surprising his torso actually got tinted as well, but definitey not as much as the other parts.
he is in the same skin tone range as my new Lottie/Julia/Silkstone Francie so I’ll paint his torso in an approximately matching colour and go over his features to make them not seemingly as washed out now.
Negotiating an area seemingly cluttered from engineering work, London Midland Class 153 No. 153356 approaches Bletchley from the Marston Vale Line, bringing in the 11:55 service from Bedford on 10th April 2012.
There were lots of dead trees along the trail and we speculated as to the cause. Upon closer inspection, though, the so-called dead branches actually had buds forming so rumors of their demise were greatly exaggerated

A seemingly out of place chair in the third floor men's bathroom in RPI's Darrin Communications Center. As if men just go to the bathroom for a quiet place to sit.
191/366 (#1) There's seemingly no end to the amount of money to spend on this hobby. I'd really like a prime lens, but a tripod's probably more important at this stage.
I missed taking a photo on 8/7/2016. It's disappointing but hey ho.
Seemingly ordinary motor car amongst all the exotica but this is the 1982 British Touring Cars Championship winner on shake-down runs for the next Member's Meeting and the Revival when the 'cans' can come off

Seemingly many cultures have similar sports to Bull (or cow) fighting. The Koreans are much more tame about it than the Spanish and Mexicans. There at the Chong-do Festival of Cow Fighting, the cows are coerced to headbut and "fight" until one gives up and retreats. No Killing. Only a little blood.
Quite amusingly it was often more of a battle for the trainers to get their cows interested than it was a battle between cows. We saw numerous cows simply not interested.
The seemingly successful Jada Pink Slips line which I believe has now had several different mixes is blatant badge engineering at its best. Taking some of the best castings Majorette have to offer and then add their own unique colour schemes and packaging appears to be a good combination. Despite Tesco no longer selling them thanks to their toy departments now being managed by The Entertainer I had assumed nobody else would take on the Pink Slips series but thankfully Morrisons have and offer the latest mix.
Subtlety isn't the name of the game here, its all about bright vivid hues to attract the Fast & Furious loving crowd though there isn't any direct connection with that movie franchise.
This Aston Martin Vantage GT8 has been clearly designed and coloured to suit its performance racing prowess and being a Majorette casting ensures it has opening doors, working suspension and clear lense headlights.
Mint and boxed.
Seemingly surplus to requirements, these chairs were gradually being overtaken by the undergrowth at the surprisingly bucolic Popham airfield.

There are seemingly endless muddy canyons and creeks in these parts, sometimes moonscape formations, so unusual and different to Europe, or at least places I'm familiar with.
This collection of drawing books is a selection from the many I made in the 1980's of my travels in U.S.A. For many years my art was almost exclusively based on my travels and of American landscapes. I was influenced by Van Gogh's drawings at the time and also American artist Charles Burchfield. I was looking to capture something of the atmosphere of the place, drawing was a way to imprint these places upon my mind. Even now I can recall all these places in my minds eye in a way that had I taken a photograph I doubt I'd be able. Somehow drawing stills or stops time, in these patterns and marks there is something about the place that remains. Since these early works I have looked at drawing in many and various ways, but what remains is its foundational place in my art. The journey in The Deep South was the first of many such extensive travels, and these notes help to make these drawings part of the exhibition the following year at Farnham Maltings (The Human Land 1984).
Well, actually we saw a couple of people walking in there. And judging by the mercedes and BMW parked up front, we decided it was better if we stayed outside. What a shame!
The interior is a delight, seemingly unrestored, long and low with a plastered ceiling to the nave, a strange almost featureless chancel arch and a fine C15 panelled wagon roof to the chancel having carved wall plates with fleurons, ribs and bosses (although most of these restored). The clue was the small windows at the west end of the nave for a west gallery, although the present one seems to be more of a reinstatement of what was once here rather than original C17 work which the listing information says (and Pevsner offers early C19). It is accessed by a pull down ladder on small wheels, and you can closely inspect the Royal Arms dated 1792. Much of the woodwork is C17, there is extra seating available by pulling out sliding benches. Painted texts on the wall too, including one "The aged women...... shall teach the young women to be sober, to be chaste, keepers at home, to love their husbands." The north transept is subdivided and has a glazed screen to the two sections beyond (locked). The only jarring features, clearly seen in my view, the electronic sixties/seventies-styled organ behind the C13 font and the prominently displayed fire extinguisher! The village stocks are preserved in the porch, presumably for among others those young women who did not heed the advice inside!
While yesterday’s confirmation of a virtual October 14 launch event under the cryptic tagline “Ultra Stops at Nothing” means it is now open season for revealing OnePlus 8T 5G teasers and official announcements of impending features, the company is obviously unlikely to corroborate any specific pricing rumors in the near future. Of course, these types […]

The hours are seemingly lighter and warmer and the clocks are ready to go forward. Summertime has come to The Monkey Thurgoland. Here are a few pictures of the artworks currently on show. All of the art shown in these images was created by Anthony Roy Youel. These pictures were not taken to convey the artworks accurately rather they are set here to show them in biased lighting conditions as you might see them at the gallery.
