Another take on the 'leaning in' expression - a person and a tree both leaning and pointing towards each other. Visually interesting I found. A snapshot of a mundane brief moment in life. For my taste, the expression 'lean in' is a terribly over-used term in (corporate) life. When someone uses this term, most often no one is really sure what it means (apart from being just 'noise'). What do you think?
I wish I remembered where I took this photo some years back. All I can say with certainty, unfortunately, is that it's from a shrine in Osaka that I came across as I was walking my way through the city. While much of my photostream features grand viewpoints or iconic architecture, small details like this can be visually impactful, too. At least for me. =)
St. Ives is a visually stunning museum town. A shell of second homes and holiday lets. Restaurants, bars, galleries and clothing stores dominate the town, each one squeezed into a converted building whose original use has been long obfuscated.
There is a seemingly active art scene with many studio spaces still in existence around town. There is a TATE where the gasometer used to be (the architecture of the TATE pays homage to said gasometer, but not very well), the St. Ives Arts Club soldiers on, and of course Barbara Hepworth is everywhere.
Residents tend to live up the hill or in Carbis Bay or elsewhere nearby, their families having long ago sold the original family homes and businesses to out of towners and developers.
At this time of year, especially mid-week at night, the strange population mix and empty houses gives St. Ives a forlorn feeling.
However, despite all of this St. Ives somehow manages to remain a welcoming and easy place to be outside of the summer months and school half terms. And it is very pretty.
Visually the most stunning dinner I have ever had was at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. We dined in the Centre Hall under the magnificent ceiling and between courses we had time to visit the amazing exhibition.
Pyke, the seat of House Greyjoy.
Westeros.
Game of Thrones.
I'm a huge fan of Game of Thrones, so decided to build something related to that. The obvious castles would have been King's Landing or Winterfell but to me Pyke seemed more interesting, visually. I could build according to the description in the books but add something of my own as well and end up creating my version of it.
Also, I had an opportunity to do some more rockwork, :-) how could I lets that pass.... :-) :-) I used curved slope on plate for most of the rock.
Hinterhöfe üben eine besondere Faszination aus, weil sie oft als versteckte, intime Rückzugsorte mitten in der urbanen Landschaft fungieren. Sie bieten:
Authentizität und Geschichte: Viele Hinterhöfe sind historisch gewachsen und tragen die Spuren vergangener Zeiten in ihren Mauern, Pflastersteinen und Bepflanzungen.
Begegnung von Natur und Architektur: Die Mischung aus alter Bausubstanz und begrünten Elementen schafft einen interessanten Kontrast, der visuell ansprechend ist und gleichzeitig das Stadtbild auflockert.
Hinterhöfe haben oft einen besonderen Reiz, da sie verborgene Oasen im urbanen Raum darstellen. Neben ihrer Ruhe und Intimität bieten sie häufig überraschende architektonische Details und natürliche Elemente, die den Blick auf das Alltägliche verändern.
Pietà
Die Pietà ist mehr als ein biblisches Motiv: Sie ist ein Fenster, das uns Einlass gewährt in das Wechselspiel von Schmerz und Trost, Tod und Auferstehung, Vergänglichkeit und Liebe. Ihr ewiges Schweigen spricht Bände, weil es Raum schafft für unser eigenes Mit-Leiden und die leise Hoffnung, die selbst in der dunkelsten Stunde nicht verstummt.
Fernab religiöser Grundüberzeugungen spricht die Pietà heute Menschen an, die persönliche Verluste betrauern: Abschied von Geliebten, Zerstörung von Lebensentwürfen, globale Katastrophen.

Fascination of Inner Courtyards
Inner courtyards hold a special fascination because they often serve as hidden, intimate retreats amid the urban landscape. They offer:
Authenticity and History:
Many courtyards have evolved organically over time and bear the traces of bygone eras in their walls, cobblestones, and plantings.
A Meeting of Nature and Architecture:
The blend of old building fabric with verdant elements creates an engaging contrast that is visually appealing and helps to soften the cityscape.
Inner courtyards often possess a unique allure, as they represent secret oases within the urban environment. Beyond their calm and intimacy, they frequently reveal unexpected architectural details and natural features that transform our perception of the everyday.
Pietà
The Pietà is more than a biblical motif: it is a window that grants us entry into the interplay of suffering and consolation, death and resurrection, transience and love. Its eternal silence speaks volumes, for it makes room for our own compassion and the quiet hope that never falters, even in the darkest hour.
Far removed from any specific religious creed, the Pietà today reaches out to those who grieve personal loss: the farewell to loved ones, the shattering of life’s plans, or even global catastrophes.

72.1 lb. (32.2kg) Sericho with a 15 x 14” face. Pallasites are the most visually stunning meteorites IMHO.
When the planets of our solar system aggregated from the primordial dust and ice swirling in a disc around the sun, some crazy things happened. We are used to the relatively stable result, 4.6 billion years later, but in the early days, some planetoids collided cataclysmically; others were flung out of our solar system entirely, to the lifeless void of deep space.
These dense iron meteorites contain the molten metal cores of some planetary body that ended in a mighty kaboom. We know it was big because a molten iron core appears when a planetoid is big enough to have enough gravity to fractionate the elements of the periodic table, with the heavier iron-loving elements migrating to the core and a different subset of the periodic table (e.g., Si, Al, Ca, Na, Mg) constituting the outer mantle and crust. We have never drilled to the molten core of Earth, or even deep into our mantle, but these remnants of planets past are representative of what we would expect to find in the Earth’s core and mantle.
Pallasites are an incredible potpourri of shattered mantle in a dollop of molten metal core. They can only form in space where the absence of gravity allows the lighter gemstones to remain scattered throughout the heavy metal matrix (on Earth, they would segregate by density). Those crystal gems are olivine (and perhaps some peridot as we call it on Earth).
If we were to etch the metal with a weak acid (exposing the anisotropic crystalline patterns), we would see something beautiful, an interwoven 3D nest of interlocking shards, a metal crystallization that also could not be made on Earth, but for a different reason: they have to cool very, very slowly, over 10 million years! In the insulating vacuum of space, the motel metal cools slowly as it radiates heat (no conduction or convection).
If this all sounds like a rare event, it is. 2% of meteorites in the Met Bull are irons, and only 0.2% are Pallasites.
When an iron meteorite is forged into a tool or weapon, the extraterrestrial crystal patterns remain, but become stretched and distorted. The patterns usually cannot be fully eliminated by blacksmithing, even through extensive working. When a knife or tool is forged from meteoric iron and then polished, the patterns appear in the surface of the metal. In ancient times before the invention of steel, these iron-nickel alloys were like advanced alien technology, and probably were the origin of folkloric beliefs about magic swords and vorpal blades. Even King Tut was buried with his meteorite dagger.
There is much going on in this Sericho Pallasite — a meteoritic medley. Transluscent olivine gems across the color spectrum. And the metal matrix has large chromite inclusions (grey).
Based on isotope analysis at ETH Zürich, this meteorite spent the last 130-160 million years free floating in space before intersecting Earth's orbit.

Visually like fire ,but it was sunset through the burnt forest.

I used my ultra-wide lens from my new phone to get this shot. I had to tweak it a lot to warm up the colors, as the daylight mode renders everything too magenta-like. As it is, Christmas will be okay but nothing visually spectacular this year.

Thought I'd post another to the Window Wednesdays group.
I find this one visually confusing.
First I see the tree shadow with its blur and jittery feel.
Kind of makes my eyes vibrate.
Then I notice the rain gutter, decorative stars and window are in focus.
This was from that sunrise in ABQ Old Town while I was waiting for friends to arrive. The sun had just risen over the buildings behind me.
Happy Window Wednesday!
Visually similar to Yellow-bellied Sapsucker of the East, this woodpecker was long considered a subspecies thereof and split only in 1998. Strawberry Butte.
As ruínas visíveis pertencem ao Castro de Monte Mozinho, em Penafiel, um dos maiores povoados fortificados do Noroeste peninsular, com ocupação principal entre o final da Idade do Ferro e a época romana (c. séc. I a.C.–IV d.C.). Observam‑se alicerces em granito de unidades domésticas de planta circular e subcircular, organizadas em pequenos “quarteirões” separados por passagens, sobre afloramentos rochosos nivelados. Estas estruturas correspondem a casas, anexos e áreas de trabalho, por vezes integradas em pátios, refletindo a transição de modelos castrejos para soluções influenciadas pela romanização. O povoado era protegido por linhas de muralhas e controlava visualmente o vale do Tâmega, articulando‑se com rotas regionais e com centros próximos. Achados de cerâmica, moedas e escórias metálicas indicam atividades produtivas e circulação de bens. Conhecido como “Cidade Morta”, é hoje um parque arqueológico visitável.
The visible ruins belong to the Monte Mozinho hillfort in Penafiel, one of the largest fortified settlements in the northwestern part of the Iberian Peninsula, primarily occupied between the late Iron Age and the Roman period (c. 1st century BCE–4th century CE). Granite foundations of domestic units with circular and subcircular floor plans can be observed, organized into small “blocks” separated by passageways, on leveled rocky outcrops. These structures correspond to houses, outbuildings, and work areas, sometimes integrated into courtyards, reflecting the transition from traditional hillfort models to solutions influenced by Romanization. The settlement was protected by lines of walls and visually controlled the Tâmega Valley, connecting with regional routes and nearby centers. Finds of pottery, coins, and metal slag indicate productive activities and the circulation of goods. Known as “Cidade Morta,” it is today an archaeological park open to visitors.
A pretty poor shot. Was shooting across the car out an open passenger side window. Visually it looked close to a silhouette. I thought it was likely a Robin, but it looked a bit too big so I snapped a couple of shots. It would not turn around so I slowly inched my car forward and of course it took off. I never did get a look at its front or face.
This is a hefty crop to actual pixels and I am amazed that i was able to get what I did out of processing. I am quite sure it is a lifer, but have no idea as to what it is. I have only posted so someone could give me an ID. I am sure that someone will know. Unsure of how accurate I have processed the colour to be. Whatevr it is, it sure does have small feet and seems to have some nice feathering patterns (at least on its back)
EDIT: Many thanks to Flora to Fauna, and Helen for the ID of a Merlin. A lifer for me. A pity it was not a better shot.
The most visually striking feature on Saturn’s icy moon Tethys is Odysseus crater. An enormous impact created the crater, which is about 280 miles (450 kilometers) across, with its ring of steep cliffs and the mountains that rise at its center. Odysseus is on the leading hemisphere of Tethys (1,071 kilometers, or 665 miles across). In this image, north on Tethys is up.
This view is a composite of several images taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on Aug. 17, 2015, at a distance of about 28,000 miles (44,500 kilometers) from Tethys.
The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.

Completing a sizeable, yet visually stunning ship is a dream come true for any aspiring MOC designer. Not many builders however, decide to sail in the reverse direction and construct a petite, yet equally impressive vessel.
Enter Vanestream, a versatile builder who's talent knows no bounds as he stealthily leaps from land-based builds to ships and back, all while typing an award winning screenplay and crafting the necessary props for his stop-and-go pirate animation series Being Pirates.

Courageous, visually spectacular, emotionally engaging production of raw, provocative dance theatre, inspired by Japanese Butoh, burlesque and cabaret, performed by infamous Australian physical theatre company Zen Zen Zo. Played to packed houses across Australia.
A different take on boarding up a house overlooking the sea for winter. Instead of ugly (or beautifully textured) plywood, these folks invested in panels of deeply corrugated plexiglass. Visually interesting, and reflective, too.
For Window Wednesday, when it gets here.
The restaurants all closed early in this area of Beijing, but the lights stayed on. So that was the perfect time to get some shots of the scene without a bunch of people in the frame mucking it up.I can’t tell you how many hours of my life I spend waiting for people to get out of the way. I mean, it’s not a horrible thing… because at least I’m usually in visually interesting people while waiting on people!

It's quite embarrasing to admit that I have visually cut off of the tops of the cupolas in the admirable Dormition Cathedral in the Pechersk Lavra in the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, obviously one the world's greatest cities!
Kiev Pechersk Lavra or Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (Ukrainian: Києво-Печерська лавра, Kyievo-Pechers’ka lavra), also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, is a historic Orthodox Christian monastery which gave its name to one of the city districts where it is located in Kiev, Ukraine. Since its foundation as the cave monastery in 1015 the Lavra has been a preeminent center of the Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe. Together with the Saint Sophia Cathedral, it is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The monastery complex is considered a separate national historic-cultural preserve (sanctuary), the national status to which was granted on March 13, 1996. The Lavra also not only located in another part of the city, but is part of a different national sanctuary than Saint-Sophia Cathedral. While being a cultural attraction, the monastery is currently active. It was named one of the Seven Wonders of Ukraine on August 21, 2007, based on voting by experts and the internet community.
This is the cab of that Mack truck. I shot this only a few weeks into spring, so the intruding vines were mostly bare, which is probably best visually. You lose the context in mid-summer when the leaves obscure their surroundings.
The Blackburnian Warbler is by far, one of the most visually stunning warblers in the Eastern U.S.. In the breeding season, these birds are typically confined to mixed or coniferous forests at higher elevations. Here, the males sing from the very top of the tallest conifer spires. In their southern range, when trees of this kind are few and far between, the Blackburnian Warbler is known to nest in deciduous forests. In the case of this individual, the tallest trees in the area were quite short and entirely deciduous. Not a hemlock, fir, or spruce in sight for quite a while. An oddity for the area for sure. Luckily, this habitat drew the bird closer to the ground where he sang, foraged, and at one point, even clashed with another male. I find it interesting how this bird, in his unusual habitat for the area, was more cooperative than the dozens of other Blackburnians I've heard throughout proper habitat in the area. Perhaps he was simply passing through on migration. I find is unlikely due to his persistent singing and aggressive behavior, but what do I know. I like to think he realized there were greener pastures a few hundred yards away that would better suit his needs.
The was just something that was unexplainable that made the SD24s so visually appealing, especially in the Santa Fe's 'Pin Stripe" paint scheme.
Here Santa Fe SD24 4561 is at the Barstow diesel shops circa 1971. Soon it will be rebuilt in what Santa Fe call a "SD26", which would alter the mysterious actractiveness and erase the pin stripe paint scheme in favor of the new yellow warbonnet scheme.

Jazz performance last week and some ICM interpretation of the music I was visually trying to capture.
This early arriving Hummer is one of several males that are fighting over the nectar feeder just below. They now compete with breath-taking high-speed aerial sky dives to impress the feeding females and get their attention (for breeding). This flight action is both visually and audibly impressive! It's still very early morning, and the sunlight is heavily filtered by the tall forest growth to the east. The gorgets will not display full red iridescence until it gets a little brighter. In this shot you get only a hint of the vibrant wine-red color to come with later more intense sunlight! This dazzling display is then based more on iridescence than pigment colors.

Visually, the feet are the most interesting thing about this water bird.

Peripheral vision loss (tunnel vision):
Peripheral vision problems mean that you don't have a normal, wide-angle field of vision, even though your central vision may be fine.
Moderate and severe cases of peripheral vision loss create the sensation of seeing through a narrow tube, a condition commonly referred to as "tunnel vision."
Symptoms of peripheral vision loss also can include difficulty seeing in dim light and decreased ability to navigate while you are walking.
If you have a sudden decrease in peripheral vision, see your optican or doctor immediately. Sudden loss of peripheral vision may indicate a detached retina, which is a medical emergency that must be treated as soon as possible to avoid permanent vision loss.
The Royal National Institute for Blind People (RNIB) website tells me that 93% of people who are registered blind or partially sighted in the UK retain some useful vision. So why isn’t there better understanding of visual impairment? Is it because it is easier for sight-loss charities to raise money if they present a more simplistic, pitiable image of blindness? Or is it because it is thought too complex an issue to explain?
Blindness is not binary. It is a full and varied spectrum. Visually impaired people come in many different variations. Some have central vision but no periphery. Some have periphery but no central. Some see the world through a window stained with blobs. For others, it is all a blur. Just give us a fair chance and a little space, we will probably just quietly get in your way on staircases.
Dark Nights: Metal. What a spectacular, visually stunning, and well-written event. Nowhere near as good as Blackest Night, however, but still one of the greatest DC Universe-spanning stories I’ve had the privilege to read.
It’s neither the time nor the place for me to tackle the Dark Knights that sprung forth the Dark Multiverse. Several people have done so already with incredible results, and I won’t bother trying to measure up to such lofty standards. Instead, I fiddled around with a few new pieces to make these three pictures that I hope are reminiscent of specific events in the story. I was thinking about making Dream and Lady Blackhawk, but I didn’t really want to have to buy the pieces to make them.
On the top is the reveal of Barbatos’ true form in issue #3. The middle shows my rendition of Greg Capullo’s variant cover for #1. And the bottom is are a little Starro (issue #4) and Baby Darkseid (issue #2) that I threw together just for giggles.

NGC 2442, also known as the Meathook Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Volans, which lies approximately 75 million light years away from Earth. The galaxy was first discovered by John Herschel, a British astronomer, in 1834 during his observations of the southern sky from South Africa. NGC 2442 is considered to be one of the most visually striking galaxies in the southern hemisphere and has been the subject of extensive study by astronomers for many years.
NGC 2442 has a distinct S-shaped appearance, with two prominent arms extending outwards from the central bar of the galaxy. The arms are littered with numerous bright pink regions of star formation, indicating that NGC 2442 is a site of active star formation.
One of the most striking features of NGC 2442 is the large dust lane that runs through the center of the galaxy, giving it the appearance of a meat hook. The dust lane is thought to be the result of a collision between NGC 2442 and a smaller companion galaxy, which occurred about 200 million years ago. The collision caused gas and dust to be compressed in the central region of the galaxy, triggering a burst of star formation and the formation of the dust lane.
NGC 2442 has a relatively small central bulge compared to other spiral galaxies, and its spiral arms are very tightly wound, which gives the galaxy a very compact appearance. The galaxy’s bar is also quite short and stubby, which is unusual for a galaxy of this type. NGC 2442 has a total mass of approximately 10 billion solar masses, and its diameter is estimated to be around 90,000 light years.

"The Washington population of the Black Oystercatcher is estimated to be roughly 400 birds. This number is probably not significantly different from the historical population, as these birds require fairly specialized habitat, which is not evenly distributed. Oystercatchers are highly vulnerable to human disturbance, oil spills, and pollution of the intertidal zone. Numbers of Black Oystercatchers on the outer coast may be higher than in the past, in part due to decreased human disturbance resulting from lighthouse automation. Numbers in inland areas, however, have declined in response to increased human activity. The Northern Pacific Coast Regional Shorebird Management Plan has identified the Black Oystercatcher as a regional species of high concern."
"The Black Oystercatcher is restricted in its range, never straying far from shores, in particular favoring rocky shorelines. It has been suggested that this bird is seen mostly on coastal stretches which have some quieter embayments, such as jetty protected areas. It forages in the intertidal zone, feeding on marine invertebrates, particularly molluscs such as mussels, limpets and chitons. It will also take crabs, isopods and barnacles. It hunts through the intertidal area, searching for food visually, often so close to the water's edge it has to fly up to avoid crashing surf. It uses its strong bill to dislodge food and pry shells open."

Although this photo might seem visually confusing at first... this is in fact one single photo... with absolutely no Photoshop trickery going on here.
But while it's definitely not a fake photo... it's also not quite real. It's just an example of me trying to be a bit more "creative" in the Knysna forests. :)
A couple of days ago I noticed an old mossy tree stump with some holes in it, perfectly backlit by the midday sun. I felt that the shapes of a few of these holes might also look quite nice in a photo?
So today I went back to that same stump with my camera and composed a fairly nice shot of two of the holes. If only there was a fern growing inside of that stump, I thought to myself while composing the shot. Hmmm. ;)
I decided to break two leaves from a nearby fern and then to strategically position them behind the holes and inside the stump. Then I waited about 30 minutes for the sun to perfectly light up the primary fern.
That's a question I've been hearing lately. Well, there are two main reasons: health and cosmetic. Those who are only visually impaired can wear dark glasses (sunglasses) to protect their remaining vision. However, that's not the case with people who are completely blind. They wear dark glasses for cosmetic reasons. Blind people's eyes can be deformed, they can look abnormal (different from healthy eyes), they may move rapidly, they may point in another direction than where, for example, the person you're talking to is. Dark glasses are therefore worn by blind people mainly to hide such a disability and make others feel more comfortable. I do wear dark glasses now: I wear them for cosmetic reasons, but only when I go out. I never wear them at home or when I'm with friends.

This game is incredibly stunning visually speaking. The valley is huge, the overall exploration can take a while and the weather/atmosphere changes the more you proceed with the different chapters and move close to the end. Although this title has a mediocre rating on Steam, I seriously found it captivating and graphically appealing. ReShade just makes things even better.

In this shot you can get nary a hint of the vibrant wine-red color to come with later more intense sunlight! This dazzling display is then based more on iridescence than pigment colors... but the sun angle has to be correct. The experienced males know how to precisely position themselves relative to sun angle to awe the ladies.

Jets over Kentucky 2021
FAA rules say that one’s radio-controlled jet must be visually in sight at all times. Spotters assist RC pilots with that task.
If a radio-controlled jet flies out of control during a landing or flyby, pilots and spotters can squat in back of the aluminum barrier that stands on the airport tarmac for their safety. Loaded with fuel, rc jets can explode when they crash. But I’ve only seen that when these small jets hit hard.
