Astronomical clock (detail), Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg ⛪️ Photo: Alsace, France, 2016 #AlphabetChallenge #Machinery #WeekMForMachinery #Clockwork #Automata #History #Travel #Strasbourg #France #ECK #EastCoastKin

Landscape oriented, 4:3 image.

The lower section of a large, astronomical clock in the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg.

A regular clock face is situated above an arch over a curved recess.

This alcove has two small openings through which a procession of automata passes on a revolving, circular platform. The miniature figures on view are seated in carriages pulled by horses.

The curved back wall of the recess is covered in frescoes, as are panels to the side and above it.

Next to the top half of the clock face, on the right, sits a carved cherub holding an hourglass.

The facade as a whole is covered in a great many Baroque decorative features and many surfaces are also gilded.

Today's Bird of the Day theme is "Black and White" I dont think I have any bird photos that I've taken in black and white so I've gone back to an old favourite and removed the colour. #BirdOfTheDay #Black&White #BirdsOfBluesky #Nature #WildlifePhotography #ClassicMono #B&W #ECK #EastCoastKin

Behind are several tall tower blocks that are covered with a blanket of fog.
To the right is the road 'Deansgate' where a car can be seen travelling underneath one of the bridge's arches.
There is a very tall crane in between the tower blocks that was in the process of building another tower.
A blue train can be seen crossing the railway bridge

Walking around in the bush with my head down again this morning. I’m absolutely in love with the gills on this mushroom. I think it might be a type of oysterling. 🍄🌿

Looking at the underside of a frilly oyster mushroom. The different lobes overlap, each other kind of like a nudibranch, it’s tan gills form, beautiful, ripping patterns.

For our last five nights on #Sicily #Italy this was the view from our hotel bedroom. Etna was mesmerising and always changing but never boring. This was such a special treat.

🪶 Rob has chosen #BestOfTheMonth as #BirdOfTheDay theme; you best shot for September - Quiet month for me; this encounter with a Juvenile Sparrowhawk was definitely the highlight #birdphotography #ECK #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky #Raptor #BirdOfPrey #Hawk

A Female Sparrowhawk sitting in a field of long grass. The bird is left of centre of the shot, facinf the camera and sitting in long grass so its bottom half is not visible.
The bird has a hooked beak with yellow at the base and bright yellow eyes. Its has a brown head with a prominent white eye stripe above the eye. Its back is brown and its breast and underbelly are whitish with strong grey-brown barring throughout.
Its is looking towards the right of the shot so that the right side of its head is shown.
In the foreground an out focus tuft of grass runs along the bottom of the frame, obscuring the bottom of the bird. Some kind of thistle can be seen to the left of the bird with pinkish flowers visible.
The background is long green grass, thistles and other vegetation

Low tide on a blue sky white cloud day. A Scottish bay with green headland to the left. A River flows down the bay, the shallow water has carved rippled patterns in the sand which is stained amber by the peat. Occasional water smoothed sedimentary rocks and Caithness flagstone can be seen just below the surface. In the background the river meets the blue Atlantic Ocean.

The curved back (or underside) of a radio telescope dish. It is constructed from a series of curved and straight steel beams.

The telescope is designed so that the dish can be rotated and tilted according to need.The gears and superstructure to enable this are not seen in the photo.

The section shown here extends out from the right hand side of the frame. The outer curve of the structure is on the left hand side of the frame.

The background is grey sky with some light shining through the blanket of cloud.

An Irish #painting. "Sligo Sunset" came out of a time I was in the northwest feeling alone and happy as I looked across Sligo Bay from Strandhill at Blackrock lighthouse and beyond to the glory of Donegal. The sun was going down but it came up again the next day. #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear

Wide panoramic format in acrylics. View across lilac water past a narrow strip of black rocks reaching out from the right. A white and black lighthouse stands centre-right close to far edge of the water where behind it there is a low strip of land running horizontally across the whole painting, slightly higher on right tapering down to slightly lower at the left edge, made of a patchwork of olive green fields, and topped with a line of dark trees that are silhouetted against in the distance a large long blue shape of a mountain ridge that tapers down at either end. Behind it the sky is pale yellow and above the mountain the sky is in rising bands of orange, pink and lilac. Signed bottom right in dark blue, Liam Daly
