Maybe lasaintepoutine has something against Egyptian lore, but did you notice his name? Do you know what a poutine is? It's a dish originating in Quebec with French fries, gravy and curd cheese. It's like he's calling himself the pope of McDonalds. How's that for religious weirdo 🤣
Not only because of the standard contrast between motion and stillness, but also what appear to be two opposing angles contrasting the direction of the water flow against the diagonal lines of the fractured stone.
While the waterfall does have an official name, I took a little creative license in calling this close-up section of it Paradox Falls.

Credits to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History for owning the mollusk shell in question, as part of their Invertebrate Zoology Type Collection.
Technical image plate of a holotype gastropod mollusk specimen named Helix nuttalliana. A plate I photographed and processed from start to finish, including five separate angles and a ruler for scale.

"Aigle Fier"

Close-up profile of a young bald eagle. Submitted on behalf of my late father Gérard Raymond.

Incidentally this is the photo I use for my avatar, albeit with a blue background. It is a badge of honor and continual source of inspiration to me. Je t'aime toujours papa ❤️
