Photographic techniques capture electromagnetic wavelengths beyond human vision, revealing features invisible to the naked eye. These signals are processed into interpretable forms using methods like color mapping.
Pink lacks a specific electromagnetic wavelength, while grey poses a limitation due to its representation of only intensity—a blend of light and dark without spectral specificity. Imaging techniques reliant on spectral variation produce identical results for greyscale images unless non-visible data is present. Deviations from this uniformity may indicate errors, misinterpretations, or unknown phenomena.
Contention persists over analytical debates, including dismissible claims like Van Allen belt dangers and contested evidence of lunar mirrors. The precision of laser reflections targeting a moving 3x3-foot marker on the Moon highlights technical skill but often fails to resolve skepticism. For instance, a 0.1° shift moves a laser spot 670 km across the Moon's surface.
Forensic analysis (2022, 2023) of Apollo 11–17 photographs assessed authenticity claims. Images of humans in space, Earth, and the Moon's distant views were validated, but Moon landing visuals showed variations, suggesting diverse techniques may have replicated certain elements.
PEMi (Photoelectromagnetic Image) software enhances forensic analysis by differentiating natural and artificial light sources, revealing hidden features. Each PEMi-ID links to original sources, ensuring traceability and comparison.

via Instagram ift.tt/2AH5rwd — This is partially what makes conversations around “climate change” so complicated—it isn’t indicative of specific weather, as climate changes weather becomes unpredictable. So generally warming can also lead to cooling in some places or snow when you don’t expect it or whatever... anyway. Go to the zoo, sit with the polar bears, and just be for a while... what happens on the melting polar ice sheets at dusk??? Everything.

Camera companies are funny. If you look at any specific type of current camera you’ll see that across several brands they’re practically identical. Here is another example of a compact rangefinder from the 1970s which has very similar features to others we’ve seen such as the Yashica Electro, New Canonet QL17, Konica C35 etc. This one is particularly small, light, and cute, with a fast, sharp and beautiful Rokkor 1.7 lens. It’s somewhere between the New QL17 and Konica C35 in size and features. Fully automatic, with an interesting ‘Easy Flash’ system that apparently adjusts the aperture as you focus, based on a guide number you set with an under-lens lever according to a table on the back of the camera (A,B,C,D, or E depending on the ASA and distance to subject). The auto-manual switch seems only to be for the flash setting. This is a fully automatic camera, you set the film speed and focus. The camera sets the aperture and shutter speed.
In specific, Holy Week is the week just before Easter that extends from Palm Sunday until Holy Saturday and marks the last week of Lent. It has earned the name 'Holy', according to the Orthodox Church, due to the significant events that take place for Christianity in regard to the sufferings of Jesus Christ.
Saturday evening is filled with the anticipation of celebrating Easter Sunday. In some areas, people begin to gather in the churches and squares in cities, towns and villages by 11pm for the Easter liturgies. A few minutes before midnight, all the lights are turned off and the priest exits the altar holding candles lit by the Holy Light, which is distributed to everyone inside and outside the church. At midnight, the priest exits the church and announces the resurrection of Jesus. Many people carry large white candles called lambada, and the church bells toll as the priests announce “Christ is Risen!” at midnight. Each person in the crowd replies with a similarly joyous response.

Wilson's Phalarope Phalaropus tricolor
Please comment with specific reasons if you have thoughts about the identification.
Dennis Paulson's "Shorebirds of North America - The Photographic Guide" is an excellent book. Page 337, Plate 90.2 of a male Wilson's Phalarope is a good match for this bird. The rusty neck color and pattern is key.
Yesterday I photographed 3 Red-necked Phalaropes, and got nice views. They have a different pattern of red on the neck that I saw well & documented. Here's a photo:
www.flickr.com/photos/58148027@N07/42049813481/in/datetaken/
[I'd had various notes here about going back and forth on this phalarope's identification. I've snipped them.]
Two days ago I went to Lateral C to try to find the White-faced Ibis pair Jeff had found. (I did. Yay!) While there I spotted a pair of Wilson's Phalaropes. I think everyone else there also got to see them. Today I went back to see if the ibises were still around. I didn't see the ibises, but did see 7 Wilson's Phalaropes.
Putting the word "photos" in your checklist for uncommon birds, as anything other than a temporary placeholder for the real thing, is LAME. It puts undo burden on eBird reviewers to guess whether your judgement is accurate, or, for problem listers, whether you're being truthful. It's drag-and-drop simple to add photos to checklists. Just do it -- IF you actually have photos, they're photos taken of the bird WHILE YOU WERE OBSERVING it, at the time and place of your eBird list entry, NOT THE PREVIOUS DAY WHEN YOU WERE NOT THERE. And make the species comments your own in shared checklists. Write what you, yourself observed. Having your checklist and companion's checklist with identical comments is not of value to you, nor to science, nor to the eBird community. It's a detriment.
Not Norbert is the guy who claims the cow pond in Nass as if it were his own. It's not Kerry's. It's Norbert Marquez's. Hence, "Not Norbert" is a good name for him -- until he comes clean, if he ever does. Not Norbert doesn't give credit, not even for county firsts, in his newspaper blips, saying that would discourage birders. Yet he vainly claims someone else's pond should be called by his own name. Wrong. Besides being contradictory, neither is right. Maybe Not Norbert's licence plate could be changed to read BRAG2XS. Or maybe his tune could change instead. Still calling it as I see it, rather than as I'd like to see it, just like species on my checklists. That seems better to me.
See Something --> Say Something: Don't enable illegal and unethical birders -- poachers. Help break their habits. Call them as you see them.
Stop pishing and using playback on rare and sensitive birds and in heavily birded areas.
Please Follow this Code and Distribute and Teach it to Others ABA Code of Birding Ethics.
Inner Soul Designs' handmade meditation & prayer beads are truly unique. Made from only the best semi-precious stones in various sizes and cuts, they provide a sense of beauty and strength to anyone who holds them. Each of the gemstones/colors used have specific healing and inspirational properties,but they can all be used for any purpose you wish.
Meditation and prayer beads are traditionally used to keep count of the repetitions of prayers, chants or devotions in a variety of religions and other spiritual practices. Since the beads can be fingered in an automatic manner, they allow one to keep track of how many prayers have been said with a minimal amount of conscious effort, which in turn allows greater attention to be paid to the meditations and prayers themselves.
There are many suggested uses for these beads:
* Repetition of the same devotion or mantra a setnumber of times - one time for each bead
* Repetition of several different prayers or inspirational sayingsin some pattern, possibly interspersed with or accompanied by meditations
* Meditation on a series of spiritual themes, e.g. hope, healing, love
Inner Soul Designs' meditation & prayer beads are created withcounts of 4 throughout the strand - as four is a very lucky and sacred spiritual number. In between each set of 4 beads there is a special bead of differing size or shape that serves as a "breath bead" - or a gentle reminder to breathe in between prayers or mantras.

Photographic documentation of "The Fear of Loss", a site-specific performance piece choreographed by Nadine Joseph with score by Daniel Nubian. The piece was performed by Nadine Joseph and Daniel Nubian in the men's toilet at Wits Theatre, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. 14 May 2015. Shot on Nikon D800 with a single Nikkor 24mmf1.4 lens.
The Seven Heavenly Palaces
The site-specific The Seven Heavenly Palaces installation, created for HangarBicocca in 2004 and based on a project by Lia Rumma, is one of the most important works by the German artist Anselm Kiefer.
It takes its name from the palaces described in an ancient Hebrew tract, the Sefer Hechalot or "Book of Palaces", which describes the symbolic path of spiritual initiation of those who wish to enter into the presence of God.
The work represents the culmination of Kiefer's entire artistic career, summing up his main themes and projecting them into a new, timeless dimension.
This can be seen in the way it interprets an ancient religion (Judaism) and represents the ruins of the West after the Second World War.
It also shows us a projection into a possible future, from which the artist invites us to look back at the ruins of our own present. The seven towers, which weigh 90 tonnes each and vary in height between 14 and 18 metres – are made of reinforced concrete, using the corner units from goods containers as construction modules. Their forerunner is the La Ribotte project in Barjac, in the South of France, where the artist lived from 1993 to 2007. This consists of buildings, passageways and tunnels that wind their way across a vast area of the French countryside.
My specific object photography is of this bread. It is zucchini bread, hence the zucchini surrounding it. I wanted to add some pizazz to the bread, so I swirled the skin and other ingredients around the bread. This helps to hint at what is in the bread. I took the image portrait so it would elongate the bread and emphasize the decorations.

The camped demonstrators in the different cities of Spain did not withdraw after the May 22 elections, but instead have decided to stay a while longer in places as emblematic as the Puerta del Sol because they believe has been brewing a unprecedented civic movement in the history of this country and it is essential to preserve it to generate changes in the social & political system against which the protest since May 15!The camped "angry people", as they call themselves, have declined in numbers after election day but they do not consider that to be a sign that the movement is going to disappear, if not the opposite as we had opportunity to see how well organized they are and fiercely determined to work non-stop until, at least, some of its objectives success. The campers were organized very effectively and so they have everything that maybe required to spend the days and nights in the square under large tarps deployed and braided each other to build a huge roof under which one could say that practically have created a small "city" ... with several "streets" and a variety of specific areas for the work of various committees, impromptu meeting rooms and "offices" with computers, an area for creative-informative work and others for share with the public its manifestos and ideas, searching the popular support with the movement.Campers do not lack almost anything because besides mattresses, some rugs and blankets they have also created areas where food is prepared for cooking meals and drinks, several first-aid with volunteer medical staff, library, nursery, PA system and radio, quartermaster to supply cleaning and hygiene products, toilet, etc. etc.

FIGHT SPECIFIC ISOLA Mural y documentos. 2014 BERT THEIS + ISOLA ART CENTER Milano, Italia.
No hace mucho tiempo, Isola era un antiguo barrio industrial y "pulmón verde" en una zona céntrica de Milán. Una de esas antiguas áreas donde conviven parques y jardines junto a viejas fábricas y galpones industriales. El barrio está ubicado muy cerca de la estación central de trenes, y con el paso del tiempo la población ha crecido debido a la migración hasta convertirse en un centro de diversidad multicultural donde conviven trabajadores con gente de clase media, artesanos, comerciantes, artistas e intelectuales (y por supuesto, también algunos criminales…). Isola, que significa isla en italiano, ha venido viviendo desde los últimos 20 años un desarrollo urbano basado en intereses comerciales y especulación inmobiliaria, emprendimientos que obviamente tenían poco interés por las necesidades reales del barrio y de la comunidad local.
Buscando dar respuesta al salvaje proceso de gentrificación, artistas, curadores, filósofos y activistas de Milán -y distintas partes el mundo- decidieron crear un espacio para experimentar estrategias innovadoras como una forma de resistencia a la transformación urbana, regenerando el tejido social y promoviendo una cultura alternativa.
Durante los últimos diez años Isola Art Center funcionó como una plataforma experimental abierta para el arte contemporáneo con sede en el barrio. Sus proyectos auto gestionados y "sin presupuesto” se sostuvieron gracias a la energía, el entusiasmo y la solidaridad, de vecinos, activistas y artistas que ensayaron el uso de nuevos términos como ´cubo sucio´ (en oposición al White Cube), “Centro Disperso” y “Fight Specific” (parodiando el site-specific).
Sin embargo la lucha cultural de Isola Art Center no impidió (por desgracia) que el gobierno de la ciudad de Milán realizara la demolición de su centro cultural ubicados en la “Stecca degli Artigiani" para la construcción de un inmenso rascacielos, apropiándose también de toda el área verde y los parques de los alrededores.
En la exposición presentamos “Degradazione, Speculazione, Demolizione” una obra ready-made de un mural un mural pintado los muros del el barrio de Isola durante los años 80, junto a la imagen original y un libro que documemta la experiencia llevad adelante por los artistas intentando responder a la presión constante del desarrollo neoliberal y la gentrificación.
The specific epithet "macrocarpus" is derived from the large, pebble-like seeds contained in the spiny fruits of the Wild Cucumber. A number of sources state that the Kumeyaay made use of the root or seeds of Wild Cucumber. When crushed and thrown into small bodies of water, Wild Cucumber seeds and roots paralyze fish, causing them to float to the surface of the water and easily be caught.

City Park Plan - Flower - Lake Ltd. © Vienna - specific
The Viennese City Park stretches from the park ring in the first district of Vienna up to the Haymarket in the third district of Vienna and is a of both tourists and local citizens well-visited park in Vienna. Its area is 65,000 m².
History
Yet in the Biedermeier the Water Glacis was a popular entertainment venue before the Karolinenstadttor (city gate). As part of the by the demolition of the city wall happened remodeling in the Ringstrasse, the project of a public park has been promoted on that site by the then Mayor of Vienna, Andreas Zelinka. This park was designed in the style of English gardens by the landscape painter Josef Selleny, the plannings were carried out by the city gardener Rudolf Siebeck. On 21th August 1862 the city park was opened as the first public park in Vienna.

"Wien" (Vienna River) in the city park
On the right bank of the river Wien (Wienfluss) was 1863 the so-called children's park, today mainly characterized by paved playgrounds and sports facilities, which over the Karoline bridge (Karolinenbrücke) (since 1918 Stadtparkbrücke), built in 1857, with the on the left bank situated town park is connected.
In the years 1903-1907 was in the parking area after the regulation a by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer planned Vienna river engineering structure with the river gate, pavilions and river banks built, which is one of the sights in the park.
In earlier times visitors of the park for the stay in placed chairs had to pay fees that were collected by the chair women (the so-called Sesselweiber).
Attractions in the park
Kursalon
The Kursalon
The water Glacis was a spa pavilion in which healing waters for drinking cures were served. To that affect, in the years 1865 to 1867 for the city park also the Kursalon was built according to plans of Johann Garben. This historicist imposing home in the style of the Italian Renaissanceg is located at the John street (Johannesgasse) and has a large terrace in the park:
After the opening on 8th May 1867 were originally forbidden pleasures. As this concept was not adopted, yet on 15th October in 1868 was taking place the first concert of Johann Strauss (son) whereupon became the Kursalon a popular dance and concert venue in particular at the time of the Strauss brothers. Today, the Kursalon after a renovation phase is again venue for balls, concerts, clubbings and conferences and houses a café-restaurant.

Monuments
With the gilded bronze statue of Johann Strauss (son) stands in the city park one of the best known and most frequently photographed monuments in Vienna. It was on 26th June 1921 unveiled and is framed of a marble relief by Edmund Hellmer. The gilding was removed in 1935 and in 1991 applied again. Other monuments there are, for example, of Franz Schubert, Franz Lehar and Robert Stolz and Hans Makart, the City Park is in monuments and sculptures the richest park in Vienna.
The dairy (Meierei)
The former milk bar was built as part of the Wienflußverbauung (Vienna river engineering structure) according to plans by Friedrich Ohmann and Josef Hackhofer from 1901 until 1903. After suffering heavy damages during the Second World War the building was extended in the reconstruction. Today is in the dairy after another annex a restaurant.
Planting
The planting of the city park is characterized by a great diversity of species and is, as possible, focused on a year-round flowering. Through an avenue to the ring road noise and exhaust gases are filtered. Some trees are protected, such as a ginkgo, a crown of thorns (Honeylocust, Christusdorn), cottonwood tree and Caucasian wingnut.

This site-specific video installation is about removing people from their terrestrial urban experience and placing them, for just a few moments, at the zenith of the over and the nadir of the under, which is to say, above the clouds and below the sea.
This installation took place in Harlem, New York, from October 11th, 2012 – October 28th, 2012. It was produced in partnership with Chashama and the New York Foundation for The Arts' Curatorial Program.

Ambling out of Jaisalmer train station in late morning, we were immediately accosted by the throngs of drivers – mostly working for specific hotels – who were trying to pick us up. Since I’d booked a room at the Roop Mahal, this wasn’t an issue. It took a minute to find the guy, but he was there to drive us the whole 1-2 km to the hotel, which was at the base of the fort on the west side.
The biggest reason to come to Jaisalmer, the Golden City (since most places are primarily built of sandstone) is to see the fort, which is on a bit of a hill overlooking an otherwise flat desert. As it’s in the desert, the temperatures in the day, even in late September, were close to 40 degrees Celsius (a little over 100F).
According to Lonely Planet India, the fort was built in 1156 by the Rajput ruler Jaisal and reinforced by subsequent rulers. It “was the focus of a number of battles between the Bhatis, the Mughals of Delhi and the Rathores of Jodhpur.”
Nowadays, it’s a living fort. Jaisalmer Fort has plenty of residents, restaurants, souvenir stands, havelis (old-style housing with ornate architecture: carved stone doorways, lattice screens, balconies, and turrets). The havelis are often hotels now, and almost every hotel here has a rooftop restaurant to enjoy the surrounding view. Our hotel, the Roop Mahal, also had a rooftop restaurant where I ate a few times. The food was…not great, but certainly not bad.
In addition to the havelis, there are also quite a few temples. Specifically, there are seven Jain temples (that you can tour for 150 rupees/15 RMB/$2.50USD). These temples were visually quite attractive inside – some more than others – and also had plenty of worshippers coming in and out. I was impressed by the intricacy of the details and sandstone carving, the intimacy of the art, and the way natural light was used in the temples. I don’t believe tripods were allowed inside the temple, which made a lot of shooting quite difficult, but not impossible. The only other rule is that you have to take your shoes off outside and pay someone (usually about 100 rupee) to “watch” your shoes.
After having a meal in the fort (and, excitedly, finding a spice shop where I bought the first of many Indian spices to bring back to China with me), my travel partner arranged for us to go out to the desert and ride camels. (The hotelier also offered something similar, but was a bit expensive.)
Later in the day, around 5:00, if I recall correctly, a guy came to pick us up at the hotel in a jeep and four of us – me, my travel partner, and two Israeli women – started our drive out to Sam, about 50 km west of Jaisalmer (and less than 100 km – maybe less than 50 – from the Pakistani border to the west).
En route, we had to make a few required stops (per our drivers). The first place was so forgettable that I can’t even recall the name of it or what it was. The second place was just to see a small village (really, two buildings) and a whole lot of kids running up to you begging for money in exchange for pictures.
After that, we finally made it out to the desert, where we rode camels for about half an hour and then stopped at a rather random place where we were eventually given a home-cooked Indian meal, vegetarian, that consisted of dal, naan, and a few curries. It was delicious, and had to be eaten completely in Indian style (no utensils of any kind).
While watching the sunset and the subsequent moonrise, we eventually bade our Israeli friends farewell (as they were spending the night in the desert) and headed back to town. Along the way, I caught a glimpse of a late night cricket match, and it was the only time during this trip I’d see that. When we got back to the hotel, we just needed to wait there for an hour or two before they were kind enough to drive us to the train station around 11:00 p.m. so we could catch our midnight train to Jodhpur…the Blue City.

Shoreham Sculpture Trail
with The London Group
and Friends. A weekend of site specific art by over 70 artists spread around the village of Shoreham, Kent.
One of the largest sculptire trails the UK has ever seen. Featuring 30 London Group members and invited artists, including many prominent UK sculptors. 76 artists will be exhibiting over 200 sculptures in 26 gardens. The astonishing diversity of the exhibits ranges from the monumental to the ephemeral with works in metal and stone, with interactive work and performance and the Trail will be particularly unusual in the number of site-specific works. The idyllic village of Shoreham Kent, a gem just on the edge of London, is a beautiful place to visit just for itself and in June the gardens of all sizes, many on the river, will be at their best - visitors couldn't wish for more perfect surroundings in which to view sculpture. Most artists will be present to meet visitors during the trail and many will be giving talks. The Trail is curated by London Group President Susan Haire.
