Infant hats for 14-17 weeks gestation (Pink), 21 - 24 weeks gestation (Yellow) and 36-40 weeks gestation (Aqua). It is amazing how incredibly small these hats are.
Halos supports families suffering an infant loss. They create Angel Boxes and Early Loss Comfort Packages. These hats are among the items included in the box. Halos is run by parents who have suffered their own loss of a child. They rely on generosity of others for handmade items like these hats, blankets, burial gowns made from donated wedding dresses, and several other items.
Making things for places like Operation Gratitude is rewarding. Making things for Halos is heartbreaking knowing that reason they are needed is because someone has lost a child. Heartbreaking but definitely needed.
During the night on the 10th of Sep. 2024 and early morning of the 11th, about 30 TLEs* were observed over #thunderstorms at E. Aegean Sea, close to Chios and Lesvos isl. This is a so called "Jellyfish" red sprite event (a term used by sprite-chasers). That is, a group of "carrot" sprites stacked together, creating a red "dome" on top and a "forest" of tendrils at the bottom.
*TLEs (like red sprites) are upper atmospheric electrical discharges (cold plasma to be precise) and they appear, under specific circumstances, above thunderstorms (e.g. red sprites appear at altitudes of 40-90 km).
For this one, I've used a #Sigma 85 mm lens at f/1.4, for 1/25'' with 40 k iso.
Check our recent #paper about TLEs from Greek-based observers, here: doi.org/10.3390/environsciproc2023026009.

These 6th century CE frescoes are from the walls of Santa Maria Antiqua, the oldest Christian church in the Roman Forum. Pope John VII used this church in the early 8th century as the seat of the bishop of Rome, and it contains the earliest Roman depiction of Santa Maria Regina, the Virgin Mary as a Queen, from the 6th century. The church was destroyed by an earthquake in the 9th century, which caused palaces on the Palatine Hill above to collapse down onto the church.
This particular shot depicts several early Christian saints.

The double-headed eagle is a Bronze Age icon. Most modern uses of the emblem are directly or indirectly associated with its use by the late Byzantine Empire, originally a dynastic emblem of the Palaiologoi. It was adopted during the Late Medieval to Early Modern period in the Holy Roman Empire, Albania and in Orthodox principalities (Serbia and Russia), representing an augmentation of the (single-headed) eagle or Aquila associated with the Roman Empire. In a few places, among them the Holy Roman Empire and Russia, the motif was further augmented to create the less prominent triple-headed eagle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-headed_eagle
