Kutaisi, Georgia

This is an Orthodox chapel carved into an old oak tree in the Kutaisi Botanical Garden in Kutaisi, Georgia. Videos that enter the chapel can be found here and here.

Most references to this chapel say the oak tree is 400 years old, although I cannot find a reliable source for this quickly. Either way, the chapel itself cannot be as old as the tree, though the exact date of creation is not something I could find.

Cat Series a series of cats placed on flatbed scanners

These appear to be taken, at least in large part, from the currently-inactive blog @thecatscan, which previously featured many submissions of users' cats placed on flatbed scanners.

The latest post is from 2024, with the blog's owner saying images from the blog were featured in the Nuit des Images exposition at Photo Elyseé in Lausanne, Switzerland. Prior to this, the last post was in 2017.

The model and photographer is @ ayguldavlletova on instagram. The armor was created by @ delirium.space (also on instagram).

The original post has a number of other angles to look through.

An article by Sarah Sands, published in 2006 in the Daily Mail. An online version of the article can be found here, titled "EMO cult warning for parents."

It's an interesting time capsule (albeit obviously not a good source of the actual culture; this is the Daily Mail), featuring such quotes as:

"One governor of a famous boarding school told me that it was as serious a problem as binge drinking, but rarely discussed for fear of encouraging more girls to do it."

and:

"Adult Goths refer to the Emos disdainfully as 'the spooky kids' or 'moshers'."

Der Sensemann (The Grim Reaper), sculpted by August Schmiemann and located at the Melaten Cemetery in Cologne, Germany.

First photo taken by Factumquintus (on Wikipedia). Second photo from here (seventh image).

Most of his sculptures, from what I can glean, are of people (often in churches, or of political figures), not skeletons. However, most sources on him are in German, and I don't speak German.

Photo of the heart of St. Laurence O'Toole. The relic was returned to Dublin's oldest cathedral in 2018 after an absence of six years. Photo taken by Clodagh Kilcoyne.

According to the article, the thief ignored golden artifacts also present at the location in favor of the relic.
