What is the subject of the the second picture? (The one directly under the flower picture?) At first I thought it was a department store, but it also looks a bit like it could be a theatre...???
It's a huge multi-level mall with all kinds of stores and restaurants that opened up across the road from where we live.
Petroglyphs at Deer Valley Petroglyph Preserve in Phoenix, AZ. We walked the quarter mile path in the desert here two weeks ago while on vacation.
Welcome home, and thanx for Rockin' us.
Those are great. Any estimate on the ages?
As well, is it known who did the etches?
I have never seen Petroglyphs except it pictures. And the only pictures I've seen have only been of walls inside of caves.
I am wondering what he spiral picture about.? It could be a snail but I was also thinking that for several indigenous religions and other spiritual groups the spiral is believed to have some sort of spiritual significance,
Morning...well we had a wet and very windy night and as it's Spring couldn't help but worry about a nesting Wattle bird..
They have built a nest in my backyard right out the end of the branches..it is quite well hidden but were expecting 80kph winds..
But they all survived the parents rolled up this morning at the kitchen window for some mince steak so all is well and they are still feeding chicks..phew..
Lucky birds. Does your phone have a telephoto so you could get a shot of the nest?
Morning..ahh no afraid not...you still wouldn't see it..
They camoflauge it very well I can just make it out with binoculars..I don't stick around and look at the nest either as they get very wary and could abandon the nest...
Okay.

I see that the first photo shows that at least the girl on the right is holding an incense stick, but I don't get the title of the second photo.
The woman on the left in the first photo is also holding incense but it got blurred out and is a bit difficult to discern.
As to the second photo, there are clouds of incense smoke billowing from an incense burner. Maybe you can't see it.
Okay, I wasn't looking for the smoke clouds. I was looking for the incense burners. Now I see the smoke clouds - one behind the tree trunk, and one above the trees on the left.
But since we're into incense burners, here's one I've encountered:
In front of a Buddhist Temple in Luoyang. You could call it Holy Smoke.
In the absence of A.Mac, I'm posting one of his photos.
Is that a wood pecker?
I don't know, but when A.Mac is back you can ask him.
By the way, be careful with your spelling. The word for the bird is "woodpecker", and "wood pecker" means something entirely different. LOL
The weekend is done. Thanks to all who posted images, comments and votes up. This article is now locked.
