Water Clock from Fez: photo of a model in an Instanbul museum

Water Clock from Fez: photo of a model in an Instanbul museum

Constructed in 1362 it was used by the astronomer of the Qarawayin Mosque in Fez who was in charge of calculating prayer times. The water flow was calculated to remain uniform over 24 hours. The sinking float in the basin causes a pointer to move every four minutes. This in turn results in two carriages with balls, one indicating four minute intervals, the other hourly intervals dropping balls into ringing bowls. Every hour a door behind one bowl also opens.

Gumluser Monastery: one of the best cave monasteries in Cappadocia

Gumluser Monastery: one of the best cave monasteries in Cappadocia

Gumluser Monastery is one of the less visited Byzantine cave sites in the region today and has intact frescoes from the 11th and 12th centuries. Used until the Anatolian Greek population was removed in 1924, it was rediscovered in 1963. Shooting frescoes in poor light was a real challenge.

Sawn Rocks

Sawn Rocks

The magnificent Sawn Rocks are one of Australia’s best examples of a rock formation called ‘organ-piping’ – because they look like a wall of giant organ pipes. They are a fascinating reminder of Mount Kaputar’s volcanic past.

Maly Semyachik volcano with acidic lake

Maly Semyachik volcano with acidic lake

Maly Semyachik is a stratovolcano located in the eastern part of Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. Three overlapping stratovolcanoes were constructed sequentially along a NE-SW line, with the youngest cone, Tseno-Semyachik, at the southwest end. A hot, acidic crater lake fills the historically active Troitsky Crater, which formed during a large explosive eruption of Ceno-Semiachik about 400 years ago.

Tangle Falls, Jasper National Park, Alberta

Jasper National Park has a great variety of scenic waterfalls and each has its own unique charm due to its geological makeup. The steps of the Tangle Falls is what make this sight so photogenic. The water literally cascades, not falls, over various tiers.

Legendary soviet dog-astronauphts: Belka and Strelka

They were accompanied by a grey rabbit, 42 mice, 2 rats, flies and several plants and fungi. All passengers survived. They were the first Earth-born creatures to go into orbit and return alive.

Maybe a bit busy for a desktop wallpaper, but something I put together. I've seen wallpapers of the skills or of the art for the heroes (fan or Valve official), but nothing for heroes ever had all of them. So here they are. All 110 current heroes as they look in their portraits :)
