Today's featured picture
The Apennine Colossus is a stone statue, approximately 11 metres (36 feet) tall, in the estate of Villa Demidoff (originally Villa di Pratolino) in Vaglia in Tuscany, Italy. A personification of the Apennine Mountains, the colossal figure was created by Giambologna, a Flemish-born Italian sculptor, in the late 1580s. The statue has the appearance of an elderly man crouched at the shore of a lake, squeezing the head of a sea monster through whose open mouth water originally emanated into the pond in front of the statue. The colossus is depicted naked, with stalactites in the thick beard and long hair to show the metamorphosis of man and mountain, blending his body with the surrounding nature. It is made of stone and plaster and the interior houses a series of chambers and caves on three levels. Initially, the back of the statue was protected by a structure resembling a cave, which was demolished around 1690 by the sculptor Giovanni Battista Foggini, who built a statue of a dragon to adorn the back of the colossus. The Italian sculptor Rinaldo Barbetti renovated the statue in 1876. Sculpture credit: Giambologna; photographed by Rhododendrites

Graphs
[edit]I love it how Aboriginal paintings depict a whole story.
Good graphs can also tell a story, as Edward Tufte describes in his books on data visualization.
Global warming
[edit]-
Daily Sea Surface Temperatures 60S-60N 1979-2023
This Copernicus graph is a jewel. It is a graph that tells a whole story in an instant.
The blue, white, red lines are like waves of an ocean. The colours seem to show increasing temperature, yet actually show time, decades of data. Time and temperature coincide.
2023 jumps out of the waves, is out of bandwidth. Oceans are warming.
