This interesting little area of slanted hoodoos near Lake Powell is popular with photographers. It's less than a mile south of the Utah-Arizona state line.

Bagan formerly Pagan is an ancient city from the 9th to 13th centuries,. The city was the capital of Myanmar. Bagan is one of Myanmar’s main attractions. It was the capital of Bagan empire, where Theravada Buddhism was the main religion. The area also known as the Bagan Archaeological Zone, occupies an impressive 26-sq-mile area. Marco Polo described Bagan as one of the finest sights in the world. Despite centuries of neglect, looting, erosion, regular earthquakes, not to mention questionable restoration, this temple-studded plain remains a remarkably impressive and unforgettable vision. Bagan’s kings commissioned more than 4000 Buddhist temples. Htilominlo Temple is a Buddhist temple located in Bagan built during the reign of King Htilominlo, Anno 1211-1231. The temple is three stories tall, with a height of 46 metres and built with red brick. It is also known for its elaborate plaster moldings. On the first floor of the temple, there are four Buddhas that face each direction. You can climb up to terraces and view both the inside and outside of this temple. It has examples of painted stucco walls, many of which are still in good shape.
Probably because it is one of the first Bagan temples I saw but I was impressed by its magnificence and the way it was build inside. Situated close to the road between Nyaung U and Bagan, and about 1.5 km northeast of Bagan. This large temple was built by King Nantaungmya in 1218. The temple is known to be the last Myanmar Style temple built in Bagan. The name is a misreading of the Pali word for 'Blessings of the Three Worlds'. Inside the 46-metre-high temple, which is similar in design to Sulamani Temple there are four Buddhas on the lower and upper floors.
De stad Bagan is één van de vroegere hoofdsteden van Myanmar, en is gesticht in het jaar 849. Het was de hoofdstad van het Bagan-rijk, waar het Theravada-boeddhisme het belangrijkste geloof was. Bagan is één van de absolute top bezienswaardigheden van Myanmar. Een reis naar Myanmar zonder tussenstop in Bagan is gewoonweg ondenkbaar. Bagan wordt niet voor niets vaak op één lijn geplaatst met Angkor. Bagan, dat is 42 km² bezaaid met tempels. Er zijn er meer dan 4400 in totaal. Dat is waanzinnig veel. Ondanks dat deze rijkdom al lang is verdwenen worden er tegenwoordig nog steeds nieuwe tempels bijgebouwd. In 1975 zijn er echter veel tempels afgebroken bij een grote aardbeving in Myanmar en vandaag de dag zijn nog steeds niet alle gebouwen hersteld. Tijdens ons bezoek aan Bagan huurden we fietsen. We fietsen langs alle bijzondere boeddhistische tempels in Bagan. De
Htilominlo tempel is een boeddhistische tempel in Bagan gebouwd tijdens het bewind van koning Htilominlo, Anno 1211-1231. De tempel is drie verdiepingen hoog, met een hoogte van 46 meter en gebouwd met rode bakstenen. Het is ook bekend om zijn uitgebreide gipsen afgietsels. Op de eerste verdieping van de tempel, zijn er vier Boeddha's die in elke richting staan. Je kunt de terrassen beklimmen en bekijken van zowel de binnen- en buitenkant. De wanden binnenin zijn beschilderd waarvan er vele nog steeds in goede conditie zijn.
Silver-studded Blue / plebejus argus. Lindrick Common, South Yorkshire. 21/06/20.
'A LITTLE TIME OUT.'
Another of the c30 males present at Lindrick Common. Although mostly on the wing, they did land on Bird's Foot Trefoil to nectar and occasionally perched lower down in the grasses to rest.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
The Silver-studded Blue gets its name from the light blue reflective scales found on the underside of most adults and which are quite visible when light reflects off them. As with many other species of blue, the males are blue while the female is a less-conspicuous brown. However, this butterfly is highly variable in appearance and, the variation extends to "differences in the male upperside coloration, the width of the marginal border (wide in the New Forest, narrow in Devonshire) and the underside grey coloration (dull grey in the New Forest, silvery grey in east Suffolk); in the female to the development of the blue coloration and the orange lunules on the upperside, and on the underside to the coloration, the width and prominence of the medial white band".
3 COLORI - APPARTAMENTO ICONOCLASTA
ristrutturazione
Progetto: Studioata, 2004
Intervento: ristrutturazione
Area: 70 mq
L’obiettivo principale dell’intervento, per espresso desiderio della committenza, è stato quello di rendere l'appartamento, di circa 70 mq. e situato al quarto piano di uno stabile d'epoca, del tutto impermeabile agli stimoli provenienti dall'esterno.
L’ambiente è quindi volutamente disadorno, semplice, quasi “iconoclasta”; la luce ovattata e accogliente favorisce la concentrazione e rende rilassante l'atmosfera. Lo spazio è suddiviso fra una zona giorno, con cucina aperta a bancone, e una zona notte con due camere passanti separate dal volume del bagno. Questo, se pur di minime dimensioni, ospita una cabina - doccia assai spaziosa, con doccione a soffitto, e riceve luce da una finestra, attraverso la quale si scorgono il cielo ed i tetti circostanti . Trova posto nel bagno anche la lavatrice, accessibile dal vano doccia, nascosta da una porta a scomparsa
Il muro di spina è ispessito dall'armadio che si può attraversare passando nei due tunnel rivestiti in legno.
Il progetto utilizza di fatto, come unica forma espressiva, tre materiali e tre colori: il legno chiaro, l'intonaco verniciato di bianco e la resina grigia del pavimento. Nessun'altra distrazione.
Il bagno, se pur di dimensioni assolutamente minime offre una cabina doccia di grosse dimensioni con doccione a soffitto e una finestra, apribile in estate, attraverso la quale è possibile vedere i tetti e il cielo.
Trova posto nel bagno anche la lavatrice, accessibile dal vano doccia, nascosta da una porta a scomparsa.
3 COLORS
An iconoclastic apartment
Project: Studioata, 2004
Type: renovation
Area: 70 square metres
The renovation of this apartment – roughly 70 square metres in an ancient building – aimed to achieve insulation from outside distractions. The design is unadorned, plain and iconoclastic; the light is soft and cosy; the atmosphere is relaxing and favours concentration. Space is divided between the daytime area (an open kitchen with a bar table) and the night-time area composed of two communicating bedrooms, separated by the volume of the bathroom. The wall dividing these areas is thickened by the wardrobe leaning to it, and the bedrooms are accessed through two wood paneled tunnels.
The project resorts to very limited expressive forms - only three materials and three colors: the light brown of the wood, the white plaster of the walls, and the gray resin of the floor. No distractions.
Taken at Prees Heath, Whitchurch during their four or five day mating season. These beautiful insects are about the size of an adults thumb nail.
I photographed this male Silver-studded Blue at the RSPB South Stack reserve on Anglesey. We visited South Stack to look for Choughs after we had seen the Elegant Tern. This one is slightly unusual in that it lacks the silver studs that give rise to the name. Silver-studded Blues are commonest on southern heathlands around the New Forest and Thames Basin. Beyond that they are decidedly localised, though often common where they do occur. They are noticeably smaller than Common Blues, with a more leaden blue colouration, with a row of black studs around the hindwing margin. Its caterpillars feed on a variety of plants including gorse, heather and rock-rose, but they also have a relationship with black ants of the genus Lasius. Ants carry the young larvae into their nests where they tend and protect them, presumably for the sugary solutions they exude. But it is not known whether they actually feed on ant larvae (like Large Blues do), but at night the caterpillars emerge from the ants' nests to feed on vegetation. Female Silver-studded Blues selectively lay eggs on vegetation close to Black Ant nests.
The Silver-studded Blue has the scientific name Plebejus argus. Plebejus were basically the Plebs or common folk, as this was Linnaeus's "dumping ground" for all the small butterflies like blues and skippers. These were lower than the grand Swallowtails, Emperors and Admirals. And so to the name argus. In Greek mythology Zeus was in love with Io, so to indulge himself without arousing his wife Hera's suspicion, he turned her into a Heifer. Hera found out and placed her under the care of Argus, who had a hundred eyes. Zeus enlisted the help of Hermes who lulled Argus to sleep with his flute and then cut off Argus's head. Hera consoled herself by setting Argus's eyes into the tail of the peacock. So any butterfly that has numerous eyespots often has the name Argus, and elsewhere in the animal kingdom (eg Great Argus Pheasant).
I thought that this was the common blue butterfly, Polyommatus icarus, resting on some heather on Kettering Downs in Norfolk, UK, but have now been informed by Celery Celery that it is a silver studded blue which can be scarce in GB. Quite a blustery day (it always seems to be windy) this was the best of about ten shots.Lots of little butterflies flying around but all getting blown by the wind.

Once upon a time there was the beauty of a place called Glen Canyon. This is a long time ago since the existence of the Glen Dam and Lake Powell. With the construction of the dam a town called Page was created in the middle of the Southwest. Page is now a attraction for the prime time locations in the surroundings. Lake Powell is just the most visible one, but there are Antelope Canyon, Wahweap Hoodoos, Alstrom Point and many other places with mysterious names - for example Stud Horse Point.
Interested in a photo tour through the American Southwest? I can help you with it and make you come back with unique shots.

The theme was Alphabet Mania and I got the letter "Q"
I made a "Quartet of Quizzically Quacking Quails".. it's a bit of a quirky quilt, but I'm really happy with it. It's the first quilt that I finished on my own from start to finish (also first appliques, free motion quilting, binding and label, whew!). It's 15" square.

had this idea since October as well. i have tons of photo ideas from the October 2012 that I never did and I'm trying to go back and do them.
i think what kept me from doing this was the lack of studs.
