La pile d’assiettes
These beautiful formations are examples of speleothems, defined as any formation that appeared after the cave was made. Other common types include the familiar stalactites and mites, cave pearls and cave bacon. These are usually made of carbonate minerals such as calcite and aragonite, deposited as secondary minerals, the primary ones being the limestone walls of the cave itself. These particular ones are called the pile of plates.

Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.
the reason it’s rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can’t get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. so if you see a plant as big as the one in the picture that doesn’t have any green in its leaves, it’s getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighboring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant’s photosynthesis.
albino plants are basically vampires.

Nailpolish
Why did I make this?ALRIGHT so once upon a time somebody asked @misbehavingmaiar what their Melkor and my Mairon’s relationship would be aaaaaaaaand I would say that this is it.
The two of them LOVE luxuries and sparkly shit after all, and I can just imagine them spending time together, gossibing, talking shit about people they don’t like,
discussing Sauron’s beast of a cock, drink wine and eat sweets together.Not only claws would be filed, but you betcha Melkor’s thorns would be filed, polished and painted as well. All parts of Melkor are important after all.
Melkor has little amethysts on his hair towel, while Mairon’s just embroidered with gold thread, and while Mairon wears a robe that is way too luxurious for function MELKOR IS TOO LUXURIOUS FOR ROBES AT ALL CUZ FUCK Y’ALL
I’m just drowning you in art at this rate senpai am so sorry XDGET BETTER SOON FRIEND @theotherwesley

Greek Gold and Garnet Bracelet, Hellenistic, 2nd Century BC
The most distinctive feature of this bracelet or armlet is the treatment of the outer surfaces of the hoops. Decorative elements are covered with a delicate network of filigree created by placing parallel rows of wire in a zigzag pattern and dotting the points of contact with granules. This unusual decoration is best paralleled in a few exceptional works from Thessaly. It is a rare forerunner of a popular kind of Roman bracelet featuring twisted hoops and hinged box settings decorated with gemstones.
The Wolf God of Argos: Apollo Lykios
One of the most famous and magnificent buildings in ancient Argos was the sanctuary of the wolf god, Apollo Lykios. It was for this reason that the people of Argos chose the wolf as an emblem for their coinage, an instantly recognizable symbol of the great city.
This coin is a silver triobol struck in Argos circa 270-260/50 BC. The obverse is the forepart of a wolf with a Θ above its neck. The reverse has a large A, a monogram to the upper right and an eagle standing on a harpe below, all within an incuse square. The harpe was a type of sword or sickle; a sword with a sickle protrusion along one edge near the tip of the blade. The harpe is mentioned in Greek and Roman sources, and almost always in mythological contexts.
Wedding Ensemble. Late 19th–early 20th century, Serbian.

Nicholas Godby and Simon Peers, Spider Silk Cape, 2009
11’x14’photo via
Serving as the largest existing textile made from spider silk, fashion designer Nicholas Godby and art historian and textile expert Simon Peers decided to make this 11×14 foot cape after living for years in Madagascar. Eighty-two people worked for four years collecting the silk of 1.2 million golden orb spiders to create the piece. The fabric is undyed, displaying the natural color of golden orb spider silk.
Spider silk’s incredible elasticity and strength (greater than that of steel of equal diameter) has lead many to unsuccessfully attempt to replicate the fiber. In 2000 a Canadian biotech company injected DNA from a spider into a goat. That goat’s kid had a significant amount of genetic material in its milk to slightly mimic the properties of spider silk.
