Apian's 1540s world map, constructed as a volvelle, so that the revolution of the earth around the polar axis could be shown. A volvelle comprises multilayered discs or dials that rotate above the page. The parts of the volvelle were printed on dedicated pages so that the reader could cut, remove, and assemble them on the appropriate page within the text using decorative glue caps or string.

A small town square at night, illuminated by Christmas lights on trees and old-fashioned street lamps. A peaceful scene. An old cast-iron brine pump in the background.

Post a picture you took (no description other than Alt) to bring some zen to the timeline.
A peaceful sunrise over Lake Vassivière, Auphelle, France. Gentle ripples on the lake are lit in gold by the rising sun between and in front of low dark hills. Blue-grey clouds are reflected in the water.
