Cypripedium calceolus, Bisamberg, Lower Austria, close to the city limits of Vienna. The first ones for this year, the ones in the Styrian mountains, not too far away from my hometown, will be out in a couple of weeks.

This photo has been taken as part of the scientific effort of the salvage archaeologist team H.U.N.E. to document the Sudanese Arab tribe of the Manasir and their cultural landscape 'Dar al-Manasir' situated at the Fourth Cararact of the River Nile.
The homeland of the Manasir will be submerged by the reservoir lake of the Hamdab High Dam (Merowe Multi-Purpose Hydro Project) in the very near future and all inhabitants have to be relocated by the Sudanese government.

This is an example of the odd distortions of position that plague the Shaded Relief Airbrush map of the Moon available from the otherwise excellent PDS Map-a-Planet service at:
pdsmaps.wr.usgs.gov/PDS/public/explorer/html/moonpick.htm
This particular example shows an overhead view of small region on the NE edge of Mare Undarum (the largest circle, with the yellow dot at its center). LTVT has plotted the most prominent features using their positions and diameters as listed in the IAU Gazetteer at:
Although the general agreement is good, the two features highlighted by the red arrows (Condorcet Q, upper, and Condorcet F, lower) just don't seem to be in the right places. The photograph at the right, rectified from one taken by amateur astronomer Stefan Lammel:
demonstrates that the pattern of crater positions is indeed as listed by the IAU. I don't know why the positions of these two features should be shifted relative to the others in the Shaded Relief Map, but obviously they are.
There is an older version of the Shaded Relief Airbrush Map available at:
astrogeology.usgs.gov/Projects/LunarConsortium/
This seems to be the one used in the popular Virtual Moon Atlas software. Although slightly different in many details, Condorcet F and Q appear on this older map with very similar offsets from their true positions.
The other lunar products at PDS Map-a-Planet are based on archived imagery from the Clementine spacecraft. These also show features shifted from their expected positions, although in general whole regions are displaced rather than isolated features like those shown here.
took the BBF for a test run using my lil sis & bro as models. they willingly dressed up for the shoot, bless them :) i am in love with tugen maneka!

“To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.” Jane Austen.
Some small refreshment, in the shade, after some garden graft.
This gorgeous mix of greens for a shady urban garden is displayed in the Woodland Border near the 1000 Washington entrance of BBG. Photo by Rebecca Bullene.
I got the fabric & trim for the shades at Jo-Ann's (love that store!). My seamstress sewed the panels (I was exhausted) and then I put the trim and "shade-y" bits together... that took quite a bit of time.
Not sure if it came out shady or if I was in shade. Excited about the whole light week but still hung up on aperture.
