This imaginative display of sky photography was captured by Essence Kelly. It was taken at Gibbs High School in Saint Petersburg, FL
Inspired by tree branches, the Oliva series is based on a basic angular structure. The glass top, highlights the diagonal elements of multifunctional pieces of this collection. Available as TV unit, dining table, coffee table, end table and console, the Oliva series is a complete product range for your dining and living room.
Permian Red Sandstone Cliffs, Dawlish
These colourful outcrops along the Dawlish Coast, easily visible from the train, provide a reminder of when Britain lay closer to the equator and much of the country as we now know it was a desert! A stunning exposure of the New Red Sandstone, easily accessible by public transport and the South West Coast Path, the cliffs are formed from aeolian (wind-blown) sand which was laid down in a desert in a continental interior in the Permian Period roughly 250 million years ago.
Dawlish CliffsThe cliffs began as windblown, oxidized red desert sands laid down as dunes: many of the exposures show beautiful dune cross bedding. Interbedded with the dune sandstones are beds of angular pebbles laid down by repeated flash floods during wetter periods.
Dawlish Cliffs are an essential site for understanding the processes through which aeolian sediments are laid down. Normally deposits in cliffs like those at Dawlish represent sediment deposition over thousands of years but here, in the very dynamic desert environment of the Permian, the cliff deposits may have been deposited within a few tens or hundreds of years.

One day, I'll really figure out what number this is, and how many I am behind. =P
Click here for the blog entry I posted regarding this photo. (And randomness. Always randomness involved.)
A study in severe angles as Derby's latest architectural showpiece forms a backdrop to a waiting Dennis Dart SLF cascaded from the Trent Barton parent fleet to its Notts & Derby offshoot.
Shot through the atrium ceiling at the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Resort just outside of Dallas, Texas. The hotel was near the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport, so there were lots of low flying planes over the grounds.
I may be going through a phase, or perhaps I just like how many of my recent shots look in B&W. I was back home is Seattle for a few days, and started getting a little creative. This picture doesn't really say much, but I find it pleasing to look at
Tilted layers of the Furnace Creek Formation have been eroded flat across the top, and more recent horizontal deposits of sand and gravel have since been laid on top of this old erosion surface.
Fun with the super wide angle lens for distortion, this got some pretty funny reactions while we were taking the photos
ArtBoom Festival 2011
RUMB is a mobile, easy to transport and use, multifunctional city platform. In navigation, a rumb (compass point) is an angular measure used to define places on the horizon – it is an instrument of public cartography, which enables us to examine social possibilities of recovery and use of a city. RUMB is laid out on the wind rose plan – a colourful tent is spread over its eight corners, which creates a temporary shelter for a group of city nomads. The convoy moves through the city like a critical mass, transported on a dozen of bicycles pulling small trailers with equipment necessary to put up the tent, organise a meeting, a picnic or a discussion. RUMB works as a portable centre of city activity, an unplugged cultural institution. All that is needed to put it up is human muscle strength and enthusiasm of the participants. They can set off on city explorations together and put up the RUMB in any place in a very short time with the use of very small amount of work. RUMB does not need any external sources of energy, only minimum outlays are necessary in order to make it work. For the first festival days RUMB will be operated by Zarząd Kuratorski ZOM and selected Krakow organisations, after which he will be handed over to public service, local artists, enthusiasts and activists, non-government organisations, free teams and groups of friends.
RUMB:
RUMB is a collective system of city survival
RUMB can be transported and used only thanks to (team) human muscle strength
RUMB can be put up anywhere where it is possible to enter or get by bike
RUMB has its aesthetic identity, it is a formal intervention in the city content
RUMB is a way of arranging of urban, educational and cultural situations in every corner of the world
RUMB protects from weather conditions
RUMB is operated by curators and invited festival guests in cooperation with local groups
RUMB answers with enthusiasm to all invitations and ideas
RUMB may be used by city initiatives, depending on their needs and operational potential, after the end of the festival
