Photo: @chrisburkard. Mexico? Nope. Hawaii? Not even close. The midnight sun in the Arctic shines down on a lucky soul. Surfing by yourself can be a bit nerve racking .. But when waves this rare come around it's hard to resist. by natgeoadventure http://ift.tt/25uU3Mc

We dipped our toes in the Atlantic, and now we're packed up and headed back home to Ontario. Nice to meet new people, discover new places and hear new music in Halifax. ❤️ by andrewknapp http://ift.tt/1WV8W90

This double-headed serpent is an icon of Mexica (Aztec) art and was probably worn on ceremonial occasions as a pectoral (an ornament worn on the chest). It is carved in wood and covered with turquoise mosaic. Serpent imagery occurs throughout the religious iconography of Mesoamerica. The serpent is associated with several Mexica deities including Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent), Xiuhcoatl (Fire Serpent) and Mixcoatl (Cloud Serpent) or Coatlicue (She of the Serpent Skirt), the mother of the Mexica god Huitzilopochtli. The habit of snakes to shed their skin each year probably led to them being used to convey ideas concerning renewal and transformation. Likewise the ability of many species to move freely between water, earth and the forest canopy helped underline their symbolic role as intermediaries between the different layers of the cosmos (underworld, earth and sky). Spondylus (thorny oyster) shell was used for the bright red details around the nose and mouth of both of these serpent heads. Strombus (conch) shell was used for the white teeth. Within the gaping mouths the resin adhesive was coloured bright red with hematite. Beeswax adheres to the edges of the empty eye sockets which were probably originally inlaid, perhaps with iron pyrites. #Mexico #serpent #Aztec by britishmuseum http://ift.tt/1PddCod
