It was crucial to concentrate on the logo's inherent meaning while first creating this piece. The shell represents the beach and the natural surroundings connected to it. In addition, it encounters the priceless creatures that live there. But we rely so heavily on businesses like "Shell." Because of this, I believe it to be the finest example to illustrate the cost it has on both our ecosystems and our economy.
The Ruins of Palmyra, Captured in Vintage Photographs
An album of 47 photographs offers a glimpse at how Palmyra, Syria, looked 150 years ago. It includes views of Palmyra’s 3,000-foot-long colonnade, the tombs bordering the city, and the Temple of Bel and the Temple Baal Shamin, both of which have been reportedly destroyed during the Syrian war.
The negatives were made by Louis Vignes, a French naval officer who was trained by famed photographer Charles Nègre, and the prints by Nègre himself.
The album recently joined the collections of the Getty Research Institute.
The Temple of Bacchus at Baalbek, Lebanon, ca. 150 AD. This stunning Roman temple, still very well preserved, is actually larger than the Parthenon of Athens.
