26 It's lit like so many modern Hollywood movies: If they're not blue-gray and dim, they're bright and orange-ish.

I'm guessing this is India, on the Ganges maybe, and the holy man in the turban is recently dead. He's being rowed out so that he may be buried in the river along the banks of which he's lived his entire life.

No dog. Not art.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at September 21, 2023 09:35 AM (fgPXD)

41 And faking a title of nobility just like Prince!!

Edwin Lord Weeks (1849 – 1903) was an American artist, noted for his Orientalist works.

Weeks was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1849. His parents were affluent spice and tea merchants from Newton, a suburb of Boston, and as such they were able to finance their son's youthful interest in painting and travelling. As a young man Weeks visited the Florida Keys to draw, and also travelled to Surinam in South America. His earliest known paintings date from 1867 when he was eighteen years old, although it is not until his Landscape with Blue Heron, dated 1871 and painted in the Everglades, that Weeks started to exhibit a dexterity of technique and eye for composition—presumably having taken professional tuition.

I suspect it's an artifact of the fact that it took a very long time for India to rise out of effective stoneage conditions with the arrival of the British. The contrast between haves and have nots got worse because the haves were 19th century and the have nots were where they had been for millennia.

I suspect the average Indian now is much better off than the average Indian at the height of the Raj, and it has more to do with the promulgation of some limited free enterprise practices in the Indian government over English mercantilism more than anything else.

138 Weeks does interesting scenes, like this one, with brilliant light on light colored objects. Some details are lost in the glare but it gives the impression of a hot climate. That light also brings out the deeper colors on clothing and decorative items and makes a good contrast with shadier areas. Look at the darker colors and reflections in the water. The cool blues are a counterpoint to the landscape. The dory and the people almost pop against the brighter areas to focus the viewer's eye on the subject. Nicely done.

Looking at this painting and many others by Weeks, they would make superb illustrations for adventure stories by Kipling, Howard, and others of that genre. They remind me of the full color illustrations from the old Prince Valiant comics strip. Those were excellent.

After multiple deployments to the Balkans, I can confirm that's how much of that region operates (hence, and the wars and boundary disputes). The people identify with their ethnic group first and foremost...national boundaries are a secondary concern.

An ethnic Albanian living in Macedonia will say he is Albanian, not Macedonian. I worked with a translator like this, and he didn't vote in Macedonian elections, because "he wasn't Macedonian".

The Albanians are the worst of the lot, as their people live throughout multiple countries in the region. Reminds me of the Kurds in many ways.

198 "The Ghost and the Darkness" is a fun near great movie.

They went for "classy", when the story called for a bit of natural horror injected into the enterprise.

Like the bear in "The Edge" or "The Revenant". Or maybe, when the great white finally shows up in Jaws.

That plus maybe a lion eaten Michael Douglas would've made it a classic.

BONUS! IIRC the somewhat unimpressive and fairly ratty-looking remains of the Ghost and the Darkness can be seen in Chicago's Field Museum.

"President Joe Biden has drawn yet another long-shot challenger for [the] 2024 [Democrat nomination], this time a progressive anti-abortion activist who claims the Catholic president no longer stands for the 'dignity of unborn children.'"

"Activist Terrisa Bukovinac's entrance is the latest challenge to the president's reelection bid, as concerns about Biden's age mount."

""President Biden is a collaborator in a genocide. He once stood for the dignity of unborn children and yet now, not only has he become complicit in all of this, he is the top promoter of late-term abortion in this nation and around the globe, and he's not fit to lead,'" Bukovinac told Fox News in an article published Wednesday. "'In other elections, it's felt like a choice between one [candidate] or the other. It's never been that way ... This year, you have another option, and it is completely unacceptable under any conditions that we would give aid to a pro-choice Democrat.'"

274 262 "Activist Terrisa Bukovinac's entrance is the latest challenge to the president's reelection bid, as concerns about Biden's age mount."

""President Biden is a collaborator in a genocide. He once stood for the dignity of unborn children and yet now, not only has he become complicit in all of this, he is the top promoter of late-term abortion in this nation and around the globe, and he's not fit to lead,'" Bukovinac told Fox News in an article published Wednesday. "'In other elections, it's felt like a choice between one [candidate] or the other. It's never been that way ... This year, you have another option, and it is completely unacceptable under any conditions that we would give aid to a pro-choice Democrat.'"

346 Clotted cream is a thick cream made by heating full-cream cow's milk using steam or a water bath and then leaving it in shallow pans to cool slowly. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms "clots" or "clouts", hence the name. It forms an essential part of a cream tea.

418 I was in the west of England in August and found all of the food just fine. Especially beef, in which they take great pride. Seafood and shellfish were much the same as you'd find near the sea here, except straight-bodied prawns instead of curvy shrimp. Pizzas were pretty good. I went out for curry to prove a point, and it was top-notch, but did not dominate the streets as we sneer. At an event, paid ten pounds for essentially a grilled-cheese, from a cheesemonger -- and it was the best grilled cheese I'd ever had. Most restaurant prices were in line with what we are used to, as were typical groceries. Biggest impact was public houses. Villages and ends-of-town that used to have a dozen now have two, and they close earlier, just like home. Lockdown, anti-drinking policy, and tied-house mergers.

Like French jokes, most of our shitty-stuff-to-say is left over from our great-uncles who went into town once during WWII.
