Foto Padierna: Hábitat

A distant selfie of me standing in nearly waist deep water of the middle of the Rio Grande River with massive canyon walls on either side and clear blue sky overhead.

Standing on the US/Mexico border, in the middle of the Rio Grande, at Santa Elena Canyon. What an impressive place. #Photography #ArtAdventCalendar

le pregunté a la cdmx: ¿por qué hay que salir en diciembre a tu horror de tráfico, neurosis y venenos?
porque tú eres el tráfico, la neurosis y el veneno por siempre, señora, me respondió

dr. atl, los volcanes

Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano just unleashed a massive wing shaped eruption with lava fountains soaring 1,500+ feet high 😲😲😲😲😲

¡Enhorabuena!

Nice, but miss Puerto Rico and most of Mexico and Cuba.

My photo shows a fragment of a Roman floor mosaic depicting a brown bear standing on its hind legs with its front legs raised/ leaning on the upper trunk of a tree laden with round fruit, perhaps apples, which are a favourite of brown bears! The bear raises its head, mouth wide, as if about to eat a fruit from the tree. The bear’s outline is defined with black tessarae, and its fur is composed of dark and light brown tessarae. The fruit tree is covered with round orangy-red fruits amongst green and grey leaves. The trunk is coloured with olive and light brown tesserae. The background is made of off-white tesserae. This natural scene is supplemented by a small geyish green shrub between the tree and the bear, and in the background, a second tree without fruit. This mosaic fragment was found in 1875 at Südallee, Trier. Dated 3rd century AD. It has been partially restored.
