Just a couple of days ago Truthseeker gave me that extraordinary gift and last night I received another one such from Suzanne Graves!
"Cyclic Structure #3" is rezzed on the lowest platform on the southern shore of Syncretia, for all those that want to admire it in world.
how vulnerable and still are his movements in the busy city. the drawing of his face is like a map, much smaller than that of the city. he himself is also getting smaller in the disappearance of time.
East Kent’s famous Guyitt House is no more, following its recent demolition.
Dubbed by some as the most photographed house in Canada, the house was ordered to be torn down by the municipality of Chatham-Kent due to safety concerns.
The house, more than 150 years old, was owned by Pete Anderson.
His grandparents Roy and Ethel Guyitt purchased the once grand old dame located near Muirkirk, in 1908.
In Bluebirds, the blue colour is produced by the structure of the feather - there is no blue pigment. "Tiny air pockets in the barbs of feathers can scatter incoming light, resulting in a specific, non-iridescent color. Blue colors in feathers are almost always produced in this manner. Examples include the blue feathers of Bluebirds, Indigo Buntings, Blue Jay's and Steller's Jays."

This was not one of my 'usual' Mountain Bluebirds, and I was so happy to notice it, perched on a fence post. Managed to take about four rapid shots before a man, walking along a path leading from his property, caused it to fly. This handsome little bird made such a nice ending to my drive.
The weather forecast for yesterday was a risk of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. My plan had been to start out early in the morning and be home before any storm could arrive. However, as tends to happen, it was late morning before I finally made it out the front door. I enjoyed seeing the build-up of clouds, but was fortunate that the storm stayed away.
It had been a while since I last drove out to the area I wanted to explore; maybe eight months or so. I was curious as to whether I was going to be able to find a bird that many people had been reporting recently. A species that is rarely seen in Alberta, though I had seen a number of them on a trip to Texas in March 2019. I did also see one at a different location, at Frank Lake,but the extremely distant bird looked the size of a pin head.
My hope was that most people who wanted to see this bird had already been out there. My waiting till later paid off, as there was just one couple there. The bird was far away across on the other side of a pond, but my eyes eventually found it. I noticed two people walking fast towards it and I first thought they were unethical photographers. When I zoomed in, I could see that they were fishermen! The bird was flushed and fortunately flew that much closer to where I was standing, yet still quite a distance away. It was so interesting to watch this bird search every inch of the ground, several times catching a tiny fish. Suddenly, it flew, and I wondered what had spooked it. When I saw a photographer walking back through the trees closest to us, my question was answered. Am I really the only person who is not intent on getting inflight shots, even if the bird has to be flushed in order to get them? Anyway, I was so delighted to get the chance to watch it for a while.
On the way home, I drove the long way through my 'usual" area. I was surprised that I didn't see many birds, not even a Snipe. One Mountain Bluebird was so welcome.
This modern structure comes with an optional garden/pathway, and concrete pieces to add on.

KEEL BEACH | IRELAND
After hiking up a nearby hill, we saw the sun setting behind the far hills, so we headed down to the beach to get some good shots.
Those structures were the reward and even as I have quite a lot pictures of them... I now believe, I didn't took enough.
This hugh three story stone structure is located at the south west corner of the main intersection in the village of Merrickville. The imposing structure is out of proportion to the size of the community, but is all the more amazing to fine, considering the size of the one located on the south east corner of the same intersection.
Samuel Jakes. An Irish immigrant who came to the Merrickville area in the 1830's, Jakes rose to prominence as a business entrepreneur and an esteemed member of the community. His grand home with its stylish gables, cornice mouldings, dressed cornerstones and welcoming wraparound verandah was a residence befitting a man of his status.
Sam Jakes was a schoolteacher, a postmaster and Merrickville’s second reeve, but is best known for his success as a merchant. By the time his house was completed, www.flickr.com/photos/whitebeard/2315284434/in/set-721576... he was operating a three-story department store at the intersection of Main and St. Lawrence streets. The “Jakes Block,” according to local lore was once the largest department store, complete with elevator, between Chicago and Montréal.
Galaxies are not scattered randomly across the universe. They gather together not only into clusters, but into vast interconnected filamentary structures with gigantic barren voids in between. This “cosmic web” started out tenuous and became more distinct over time as gravity drew matter together.
Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a thread-like arrangement of 10 galaxies that existed just 830 million years after the big bang. The 3 million light-year-long structure is anchored by a luminous quasar – a galaxy with an active, supermassive black hole at its core. The team believes the filament will eventually evolve into a massive cluster of galaxies, much like the well-known Coma Cluster in the nearby universe.
This deep galaxy field from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) shows an arrangement of 10 distant galaxies marked by eight white circles in a diagonal, thread-like line. (Two of the circles contain more than one galaxy.) This 3 million light-year-long filament is anchored by a very distant and luminous quasar – a galaxy with an active, supermassive black hole at its core. The quasar, called J0305-3150, appears in the middle of the cluster of three circles on the right side of the image. Its brightness outshines its host galaxy. The 10 marked galaxies existed just 830 million years after the big bang. The team believes the filament will eventually evolve into a massive cluster of galaxies.

INCREDIBLE STONE STRUCTURE, overlooking the Borrowdale Valley, Cumbria, England, UK Photographed by Carl Halliday. This stone sculpture was made by an unknown artist, named "Borrowdale Banksy"
This odd little structure is located in the Landmark Sinkhole. Larger sinkholes like this one have been known to swallow up structures like houses, barns, and buildings.
