My third entry into CCC XIV, for the Traveling Salesman category. Credit for the star design over the throne goes to Disco86.
One of the main things I wanted to include in this build was the awning over the king’s seat, as it is historically accurate, and something I haven’t seen done much in LEGO. The balcony area and floor were perhaps the funnest parts to build however.

While I was walking and admiring the wonderful shapes and colors of the sunset along with the sailing boats at the marina but also the trading ships far away , there was an absolute peaceful scenery and i was wondering why i was not making my move to shot this ... but then suddenly inspiration came .....yes, that was what it was missing .....this is what intrigue me to pick up my camera and shot ..... it was this theTHIRD ELEMENT... this small boat coming slowly out of the port , and with its presence breaking up the tranquility and making scenery more vivid

Bad photographer, putting the horizon slap bang in the middle.
The only Rule Of Thirds I follow is: when telling the husband how much your camera cost, reduce the amount by a third !!!
alternative title - honest doc
as in honestly doc, I wasn't snorkelling.. I'd left the camera/underwater housing, mask and fins at home so I wouldn't be tempted but it was very hot and so I went for a paddle.
I saw quite a number of species including a big eel and these tiny blue fish.
gimp - curves, sharpening in L channel and a bit of cloning and blur to get rid of grains of sand on the surface of the water
THIRD EYE CONSTELLATION / THE FINAL / CHRISTELLE GEISER & AEON VON ZARK / NAKED EYE PROJECT BIENNE / ALTERED STATE SERIE / THE WEIRD DREAM / PORTRAIT.
This was a fun project that I completed on the side. I made up three different necklaces with silver cylinders and magnets all containing several strands of sellar tape. In between the tape that had been folded over on itself I had put in some 'faux diamonds'* (my university budget didn't allow me to use real ones though the project asked for it)
Playing on what we assume valuable and what we assume not to be; and then joining them.
Math creates rules and rules become predictable. I think it is the implication and honoring of the rule that makes it sacred. This has no greater application than French city planning where symmetry and axis reign supreme. Once you combine this with architectural photography the math gets worse, now thirds. This photo is an attempt both acknowledging the great axis and complimenting the rule of thirds.
thanks for reading.........jhe
Construction on this Minneapolis bridge has been underway for quite a while. With the weather turning a bit nicer, it was great to grab a camera and just walk around the city. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!
Why does any dog need three beds?? And why would a dog with three beds need to sit on my spot on the couch? Oh yeah...I forgot, she has a fourth bed that is for Christmas time only! Spoiled, eh?
I was on a flight back from Las Vegas that stopped over in Minneapolis for a connecting flight. For the three hours while I was at the airport I took photos.
I don't expect everyone to understand what I'm trying to do here, I agree it can be pretty boring on first or second glance. There's no pretty trees or glorious sunset, that's just not my cup of custard. This is the sort of thing I like to do, that I enjoy watching. Moments like this in airports are everywhere and just not explored enough.
It's a social documentary in a photo, the title probably gives that away. This is the sort of scene that I wait and wait for. Being in the right position to take a straight on, or 2D picture that has depth. In some ways, very similar to the very first upload on this stream.
Things I'd like you to notice: The appropriate use of thirds, subtle reflections and lack of any distortion at the edge of the frames. But mostly, I'd like you to make your own mind up about it and tell me what you notice that I may have not.
I'd also like to mention Arty in the same breath. It is reminiscent of his quirky Martin Parr like style street photography, although he doesn't lack the words that I do.

Piotr et Oleg ont terminé leur 3e sortie extravéhiculaire ! Hier ils ont à nouveau passé un peu plus de 7h30 à l’extérieur de la Station, toujours pour la mise en service du module scientifique russe MLM. Les câbles télé et internet sont maintenant branchés, on a tout le confort moderne ! 😉 Bien entendu, par télévision on entend le canal utilisé par les chercheurs pour nous aider lors des expériences, et par le centre de contrôle pour suivre notre travail et nous accompagner… les caméras sont à bord mais les écrans sont sur terre ! 😁 Ils ont également installé un dispositif de rendez-vous et d’amarrage, et même une expérience de biologie à l’extérieur du module MRM2. Encore une journée bien fatigante pour nos amis, nous étions heureux et soulagés de les voir rentrer : c’est toujours une bonne occasion pour célébrer On est en plein dans la saison 2 des sorties extravéhiculaires puisqu’Aki et moi nous préparons à sortir dimanche (encore du travail sur les panneaux solaires).
Spacewalk 3️⃣ for Oleg and Pyotr complete! They spent another 7 and a half hours outside yesterday for more work on the new Russian science module MLM. Television and internet is now connected, what more could you need? ;). (the television is for researchers to follow our progress working on experiments and the control centre to help us throughout the day, not for us to watch of course!) Well, they also installed a rendezvous and docking system, handrails, and even a biology experiment on the MRM2 or Poisk module that is on the other side of MLM! Another busy and tiring day, and we were happy to see them back. Being safely back inside is always a good reason to celebrate! We are really into spacewalk season two now, Aki and myself are preparing to go outside this Sunday to work on the P-4 truss and prepare it for more roll-out solar arrays.

The inspired hill of Vézelay
The Burgundy hill of Vézelay, which French writer Paul Claudel named “eternal”, has been drawing hundreds of thousands of pilgrims (nowadays more likely tourists) since time immemorial. It has also drawn strife, battles and pillage: the big monastery was no less than six times destroyed by fire, and always rebuilt. Here, the Second Crusade was preached on Easter Day of 1146 by Bernard, abbot of Clairvaux, whom King Louis VII of France had summoned to be lectured on the sort of penance his royal person should submit to to atone for his many sins: Bernard chose the Crusade. Crusaders congregated here as well for the Third one, in 1190.
The history of Vézelay began around 850, when Count Girard de Roussillon founded a nunnery at the foot of the hill, in the locale now occupied by the village of Saint-Père-sous-Vézelay. Fifteen years later, the nuns had been replaced by monks for reasons that never reached us. What we know is that further to a Viking raid on Burgundy in 887, the monks took refuge at the top of the hill, in the remnants of a Roman oppidum, and never went down again.
Originally dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the monastery they built on the hilltop was placed in 1050 under the patronage of Mary Magdalene, further to the claimed transport of her bones from the Holy Land by a monk named Badillon. This so-called “transposition” was validated by the Pope, but the people of Provence rebelled fiercely against that ruling: it had indeed always been well known that the saint, who had been the very first, even before the apostles, to see Christ resuscitated, had left the Holy Land and come to France where she finished her life in the mountains of the Sainte- Baume, which were named after her. Her bones had been kept in the basilica of Saint-Maximin, the largest church in the whole of Provence.
Thus sanctioned by the Pope, and confirmed yet again by Pascal II in 1103, the claim of the Vézelay monks drew immense crowds (and brought enormous riches). The fact that they also claimed to have the bones of Martha and Lazarus were not for nothing in the considerable attraction the abbey had on a pilgrimage-hungry Christendom. However, the Provençal people were victorious in the end, when they revealed that the bones of the Magdalene, which had been hidden during the 900s as the Saracens drew nearer, were opportunely re-discovered in 1279. This time, Pope Boniface VIII found in their favor and that ruling was never overturned: the pilgrimage to Vézelay was dead, even though the big church kept its dedication.
The rest of the history of Vézelay is a long downhill walk. In 1537, the Benedictine monks are replaced by canons. In 1568, the Protestants seize the church and burn it again. Finally, in 1819, lightning strikes and sets the church aflame for the last time. When architect Viollet-le-Duc, mandated by Minister Prosper Mérimée, arrives on-site in 1840, the abbey church of Vézelay is but a gutted carcass, ready to collapse. That same year, the church was put on the first list of French Historic Landmarks (“Monuments historiques”) and restoration works were undertaken urgently; they were to last until 1861, and many other such works have been undertaken since.
The church was granted basilica status in 1920, and in 1979 it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, as it is the starting point of one of the major Paths to Compostela, the Via Lemovicensis, so-named because it runs through the large city of Limoges.
On that day of June 2024 I went to Vézelay as a side trip during a photographic expedition for the Fondation pour la Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, one of the non-profit heritage organizations I work for as a pro bono photographer, it was raining. Therefore, I took no photo of the outside, but instead concentrated on the inside. Furthermore, a lot of what can be seen on the outside, including the façade and the tympanum, are re-creations of the 19th century by Viollet-le-Duc, and thus much less interesting for our purpose.
The nave has two tiers and is deliberately and staunchly Romanesque. It clearly refuses the architectural innovations introduced at Cluny shortly before, such as the false triforium that creates an impression of elevated height, or the slightly broken arches that appear to try and reach for the heavens. Instead, it favors the perfect barrel arches and the groin vaults that cover the nave as well as the aisles.
As Raymond Oursel points out in the Zodiaque–published book Bourgogne romane, the use of dichromatic stones casts an exotic note reminiscent of the Velay and Brionnais churches further South, even of Cordovan Spain. The architectural and decorative inspiration for Vézelay is to be found in the Anzy-le-Duc and Perrecy-les-Forges churches, both of which have already been featured in my stream.
It comes as no surprise that construction on the Romanesque church we can still see today began under the abbacy of Renaud de Semur, who was precisely from the Brionnais province (the “Semur” in his name is Semur-en-Brionnais, not the better known Semur-en-Auxois), and a nephew of Saint Hugh (saint Hugues in French, born Hugues de Semur), abbot of Cluny between 1049 and 1109.
Penelope (the one who is cutting) speaks: “Look it’s easy Susie! A third for me, a third for you and a third for Hazel. There is no need to leave anything for your brother! And he won't be home for ages anyway”
Oh dear! LOL!
And do please forgive me for bending the prompt somewhat too! LOL! ((hugs))

Was trying the rule of thirds. If only the kid walked in the opposite direction this would've been a better shot but thats the thing about street photography. Every given shot is a gift. n_n
The lavender fields at Inglenook farm in Rainford,St.Helens.
I'd been up there the previous two mornings but came away with nothing.However this morning nature played ball with me and provided me with the light and sky I'd been waiting for,
All worth it in the end :)
Thanks for looking,
Chris.
argh!
after her first attempt at panning, and a mediocre second attempt, my wife comes up with this one on the third click of the shutter. of a piddly little point and shoot digital.
why do i even try!
this one is so crystal clear, i have trouble believing it came out of our camera.
i love the fact that it looks like he's about to plow into the car, even though he's not.
