Street Art “Silent Star” by Martín Ron in San Telmo, Buenos Aires 🇦🇷
Painted on a narrow courtyard wall, this mural captures the elegance of early cinema. The portrait of a woman in a wide-brimmed hat, evokes the quiet glamour of the 1920s

#FindsFriday: A 'dragonesque' brooch from the British Museum. Its belly is inlaid with coloured enamel, and the pin (missing) would have fitted on the back between the two necks. These wonderfully sinuous brooches were popular in the decades after the Roman invasion.

What’s happening over that tree? Two very different things. On the left is the Andromeda galaxy, an object that is older than humanity and will last billions of years into the future.

Interesting that AI generated videos, even those that exactly match the look of people, their voices, etc...are instantly recognizable as fake. The people lack something--humanity, soul, some ineffable something that is beyond the ken and too complex for any algorithm. So far, anyway...

Same here...heart sore
I'm having a "John Lennon was killed" moment about Rob Reiner. I'm massively upset, more than I should be regarding the death of someone I didn't know. But he affected my life so much! My sense of humor, my recognition of great visual storytelling, my attempts to show grace first. Just. I'm upset.

"Here's the truth about the seasons: Autumn is September and October. See the pumpkins? Next comes the season called “Locking.” That is when Nature shuts everything down. November and December aren’t Winter. They’re Locking."

This is the second time I have photographed one of my favorite Mycena species - this one is found on leaves and has regular water droplets along the stem for a reason which remains a mystery to me.
From the Chocó Andino region of Ecuador.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
