💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🔍🌿 Laser light technology called LiDAR is transforming Maya #archaeology by creating 3D maps of ancient cities hidden beneath jungle canopy. Where archaeologists once hacked through wilderness on foot, now remote sensors capture detailed data showing extensive urban networks.

The 2016 PACUNAM survey alone mapped over 2,000 square kilometers and identified more than 60,000 structures, dramatically expanding our understanding of Maya civilization's scale and complexity.

Only Ghosts in these Halls / Solo Fantasme in queste Sale for #monochromemonday

In the Archiginnasio the walls are covered in around 6000 heraldic arms. These arms commemorate past students, teachers and patrons of the university. Arms were added to the walls until the late 18th century. (The Archiginnasio was built in 1563 so we're taking about 200 years worth of people)
It got me thinking about all the people who come and go from the building, yet it remains.
The "ghosts" right now are those represented by the heraldry, but one day will be us. But it's a Monday morning so don't think about it too deeply okay! ✨
This photo is a combination of a double exposure and a long exposure (because I have shaky hands and I really liked the people in one photo and the background in another so I tried to squish them together 😂)
Do not look too closely as it's my first time trying this and it's a mess. Just squint and enjoy! 😂✨

Klarer Fokus, flüchtiger Moment – 80er-Jahre Kleinwagen im Fahrtbild
Rasende Kulisse, ruhiger Flitzer – Côte d’Azur, 1980er Jahre

Aufgenommen aus dem Beifahrerfenster eines fahrenden Wagens, zeigt dieses Bild einen Kleinwagen der 1980er Jahre, gestochen scharf im Vordergrund – eingefangen mit einer Langzeitbelichtung. Die Straße und die Häuser im Hintergrund verschwimmen zu horizontalen Lichtstreifen, ein Effekt, der die Geschwindigkeit der Szene fühlbar macht.
Der Mitzieheffekt trennt den Wagen visuell von seiner Umgebung und konserviert einen flüchtigen Moment inmitten der Bewegung – ein kleines Zeitdokument aus einer Ära, in der Autos noch Ecken und Charakter hatten und die Côte d’Azur eine Bühne für sonnige Roadtrips war.


Mise au point nette, instant éphémère – Petite voiture des années 80 en mouvement
Décor en fuite, bolide tranquille – Côte d’Azur, années 1980

Photographiée depuis le siège passager d’une voiture en marche, cette image capture une petite voiture typique des années 80, parfaitement nette au premier plan – figée grâce à une pose longue.
La route et les façades en arrière-plan s’étirent en lignes horizontales, traduisant visuellement la vitesse et le mouvement.
L’effet de filé détache la voiture de son environnement et fige un instant fugitif au cœur du déplacement – un témoignage visuel d’une époque où les voitures avaient encore du caractère, et où la Côte d’Azur servait de toile de fond idéale pour des virées ensoleillées.

Sharp Focus, Fleeting Moment – 1980s Compact Car in Motion
Blurring Scenery, Steady Ride – Côte d’Azur, 1980s

Photographed from the passenger seat of a moving car, this image captures a quintessential 1980s compact vehicle in crisp detail – frozen in time through a long exposure.
The road and buildings in the background stretch into horizontal streaks, visually conveying the speed and motion of the scene.
The panning effect separates the car from its surroundings and preserves a fleeting moment amidst movement – a visual time capsule from an era when cars had character, and the Côte d’Azur was the perfect backdrop for sunlit road trips.
