Wikipedia: The Golden Buddha, officially titled Phra Phuttha Maha Suwanna Patimakon, commonly known in Thai as Phra Sukhothai Traimit, is a gold Maravijaya Attitude seated Buddharupa statue, with a weight of 5.5 tons (5,500 kilograms). It is located in the temple of Wat Traimit, Bangkok, Thailand. At one point in its history the statue was covered with a layer of stucco and colored glass to conceal its true value, and it remained in this condition for almost 200 years, ending up as what was then a pagoda of minor significance. During relocation of the statue in 1955, the plaster was chipped off and the gold revealed.
The origins of this statue are uncertain. It is made in the Sukhothai Dynasty style of the 13th–14th centuries, though it could have been made after that time.
At US$1,400 per troy ounce, the gold in the statue (18 karat) is estimated to be worth 250 million dollars. The body of the statue is 40% pure, the volume from the chin to the forehead is 80% pure, and the hair and the topknot, weighing 45 kg, are 99% pure gold.
An old one from a night when I got so absorbed making driftwood creations, the sudden appearance of a wonderful sunset totally surprised me. It was a quick dash to look for some foregrounds so I didn't waste the moment. I do love the mad dash to use good skies or special moments. I wish I was the sort of photographer who plans everything in detail and waits for the perfect moment, but that's not me :)) Solid Air is by John Martyn, and has a perfect chilled sound, which perhaps I need to find.

My homeland Northwest Germany is poor in mountains and rocks, so the only exception has been a very popular and even mystic place for centuries. We took advantage of the nice Summer weather to visit the Externsteine on Sunday.
The Externsteine belong to the Teutoburger Wald and are a natural outcropping of five sandstone pillars, the tallest of which is 37 mtr high and form a wall of several hundred metres in length, in a region that is otherwise largely devoid of rocks. The pillars have been modified and decorated by humans over the centuries. The place has been an important location for religion and spiritual activities throughout history. In warm evening light the beauty performs perfectly.
My old pal and I messing, trying out shots, and I came away with this image of his Gibson Les Paul which I like. I am drawn to the burnished colours partially, but primarily to the solid engineering excellence of it. I took the shot with the intention of a mono conversion which I did, and I like, but I couldn't deny those colours!

The exhibition initiatives at the Reggia di Venaria extend internationally with the proposal of new artistic languages and expressions by Anthony McCall, a British artist known for his solid-light installations.
His “light sculptures” consist of spectacular flat, curved, and conical light beams that define volumes. Like physical blades, they move through darkened spaces, directly engaging visitors in experiences that expand upon and surpass traditional artistic cinema performances.
The event-exhibition features some of the English artist's most significant installations.

Le iniziative espositive della Reggia di Venaria spaziano in campo internazionale con la proposta dei nuovi linguaggi ed espressioni artistiche di Anthony McCall, artista britannico noto per le sue installazioni a luce solida.
Le sue “sculture luminose” consistono in scenografici fasci di luce piani, curvi e conici tesi a delineare volumi che, come lame fisiche, percorrono spazi oscurati coinvolgendo direttamente il visitatore in esperienze che espandono e superano le tradizionali performance del cinema artistico.
La mostra-evento propone alcune delle più significative installazioni dell’artista inglese.
