Elke dag een archieffoto 365/246 Typisch Roma-huisje op de weg van Dacia naar Viscri in Roemenië. Misschien wel het mooiste, bijna middeleeuws aandoend en nog vrijwel onaangetast landschap in Europa. #roma #photographersofbluesky #mobilephotography #landscape #transylvania #romania

A typical Roma house on the road from Dacia to Viscri in Romania. Perhaps the most beautiful landscape in Europe—one that feels almost medieval and remains virtually untouched.

Ein typisches Roma-Haus an der Straße von Dacia nach Viscri in Rumänien. Vielleicht die schönste, fast mittelalterlich anmutende und noch immer nahezu unberührte Landschaft Europas.

A beautiful #Roman glass bottle, in green & gold with small patches of blue - a lovely thing, although I suspect the original owner would be stunned to know that it had survived nearly 2000 years, & was now on display to the public... #Archaeology #AncientBlueSky

Fabulous fragment of an ancient Egyptian wall relief with three bears and an oil jar. The paint has survived some 4,500 years! Limestone relief from the Pyramid Temple of Sahure, Old Kingdom, 5th Dynasty, c. 2496-2483 BC. Neues Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #ReliefWednesday #Archaeology
My photo shows a circa 4,500-year-old limestone relief with some well-preserved paint in places, from the funerary temple of Sahure at Abusir, measuring 39 × 35 × 8.5 cm. It shows three bears (partial view only) and a tall one-handled pottery vessel, across two registers. The upper register at left, shows the two leds and hindquarters of a bear, and at right, a bear’s lowered head, chest, and foreleg, painted mid-brown. The lower register at left shows a tall, dark-reddish-brown pottery vessel with a long neck and single handle, and at right, the lowered head, neck, shoulder, and top of foreleg of a dark-brown bear. The bears wear collars tethered by ropes to looped fixtures in the ground. The fragment comes from a wall scene depicting tributes from the Levant. Bears were not native to Egypt. The bears represented are Syrian brown bears  (Ursus arctos syriacus), which were quite common in Levantine mountain regions in antiquity. They were kept as exotic animals in enclosures by Egyptian kings, and also hunted.

This guy just dropped into my backyard. I see them all the time at the pond, but this is the first one to drop by the house. Great Egret, not a shadow of a doubt…
Great Egret walking on green grass in front of a brown wooden privacy fence in my backyard. The large slender bird is all white with a yellow bill and eyes. It has a long neck and bill and thin gray legs. Its shadow is cast on the fence slightly in front of it.

A carved "pillar-biter" from the church of St. Bavo in Haarlem, from 1509-1517. With roots in Medieval iconography, pillar-biters represented hypocrisy and false piety. More here: www.leidenmedievalistsblog.nl/articles/dev...

Thanks to KQED News for the heads up, “the Mexican Navy’s tall ship Cuauhtémoc” is now “berthed on the Embarcadero in San Francisco for the next four days as part of a goodwill visit — where you can go aboard this 120-foot-high ship for free.”  It’s at the docks by the Exploratorium and she’s a beauty.

Photograph of a traditional Greek Orthodox church in Naxos City on the island of Naxos. The image focuses on the upper sections of the building, where whitewashed walls and curved roofs frame several blue-painted domes. Ornate white crosses crown the domes, and strong Mediterranean sunlight casts crisp shadows across the architecture. The rich blue sky fills the background, emphasising the striking contrast between the white buildings and the church's blue domes.

Very probably the best photo I've ever taken of a 16th Century dovecote with a cow standing in front of it, surrounded by buttercups, looking like she has just dropped a debut album she is thoroughly proud of.
A cow, standing in front of the dovecote in Bruton, Somerset, about a month ago. Lovely town. Beautiful architecture. Had a chat with a really nice lady from an old farming family after I took this. Sadly quite a few stuck-up down-from-London snotbags live there these days and houses cost a fortune as a result.
