Muy buen hilo por la Dra. Moudhy Al-Rashid, los seres mitad bestias mitad humanos han estado con nosotros y descritos desde los tiempos de la épica de Gilgamesh.
I love the hybrid creatures from ancient Mesopotamia. They hint at what scared people, what protected them, and more.

This is a “lion man” (urmahlilu), a magical creature that once flanked the entrance to King Ashurbanipal’s palace in Nineveh to protect against harm.

Math has always been a good companion and a common language between us all.
A reminder that math word problems haunted people even 2,500 years ago.

This is a calculation of a “flour gift” to “40 sons of builders”. The circles represent the number 40, and ancient fingerprints remain around the edges. It was excavated from Fara, Iraq cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/artifacts/10...

The Tidal Wave of Being

He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death

Red Sprites and Auroras, one of the things I’ve yet to experience and are for sure foremost on my bucket list.
I’ve tried chasing Auroras before but didn’t got lucky, this year was probably one of the best opportunity to see them in decades. Red Sprites are even rarer.

Chaos in our atmosphere paired with cosmic chaos.
Nature is awesome.

“Nanook of the North” by Robert Flaherty defined the art of documentary film making.
One of the “small licenses” he took while taking it up to the silver screen was changing the name of the main character, Nanook’s real name was Allakariallak.

Happy Sunday to all, specially for those who wake up cuddling with a loved one or for those who wake up alone but cuddling with the voices in their heads.

Shadow can’t exist without light - it is its counterpart and its completion. Light and shadow are like yin and yang. They need to always be seen and interpreted together when looking at a photograph.
What do you think about light in B&W photography?
