A view of Mount Vesuvius from a paved road at Pompeii taken on a visit in 2022. #Pompeii #Vesuvius #Romanarchaeology

Lovely naturalistic scene of birds and a butterfly in a papyrus thicket, carved by an ancient Egyptian artisan some 4,500 years ago! Faint traces of paint survive on this limestone wall relief from the funerary temple of king Userkaf. Egyptian Museum, Cairo 📷 by me #ReliefWednesday #Archaeology

Word of the Day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet individual whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

I don't want to be on ghastly x anymore but it's where a lot of my sales come from so this post is a brazen request for shares to spread the word about my work on a kinder platform that isn't run by a dangerous megalomaniac! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Sara... #selfemployedartist #ukgifthour #shopindie

Today’s daily dose of nature - the turquoise waters of the Outer Hebrides 💙

Saw this video and had to share. This was at the Bell Centre, never heard it so loud, this is Canadian unity 🇨🇦 #CanadianUnity

A lovely gold horse from the Staffordshire Hoard of 7th century Anglo-Saxon treasure found in 2009. Now in Birmingham Museum.

The Viking Mask Stone. A runestone set up in memory of a warrior who died in battle, c. AD 970-1020. Runic inscription: ‘Gunnulfr and Eygautr/Auðgautr and Áslakr and Hrólfr raised this stone in memory of Fúl, their partner, who died when kings fought’. From Aarhus, Denmark 📷 by me #Archaeology

That one time I wimped out during a wind storm and escaped to the salt flats vs entering the dunes. Still got crazy atmosphere and post sunset glow. #landscape #nature #bluesky #bsky #deathvalley #badwater

Hello there 😄 Time to start a new adventure on Bluesky ! I'm Joffrey Briaud, a French based photographer, passionated by beautiful landscapes, raw nature and epic travels ✨️ Can't wait to meet new friends here ! I leave you with this image took at 3000m high in the Swiss Alps, at Aletsch Glacier ❄️

Something lovely for the weekend! A stunning 2,000 year-old Roman emerald green glass bowl 💚 📷 The Met www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #Archaeology

A #Neolithic rock crystal arrowhead found in the pile-dwelling settlement of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, dating from around 3500 BC. The raw material was not available in the immediate area, but came from the Alps. Rock crystal has been mined in the Swiss Alps since the early Mesolithic. 🧵1/3 🏺

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

A beautiful #Roman glass bowl, made of cobalt blue glass with 24 vertical 'ribs' in stripey blue & white running down the lower part of the vessel. It was made just under 2000 years ago, & was a popular design at the time (📷NY Met Museum) 🏺AncientBlueSky #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #AncientGlass

Good morning Bluesky! A favorite fall shot of a dead oak tree in front of a live oak tree. patterns and textures... #photography

In just seven years, the number of calves mothered by our ex-orphans has doubled, with at least 70 babies having now been born into a wild life. These precious lives are a testament to the ripple effect of every orphan rescue, giving life to generations of elephants.

Here is a thread of California animal welfare orgs who need donations to help deal with the wildfire crisis (but they VERY DESPERATELY need adopters and foster homes too if you live close enough to help in that way): 1. Los Angeles County Animal Care: ambvzmmw.donorsupport.co/page/FUNAFLE...
