Final touches on the red carpet at the Ironman competition finishing line in Cambridge, Maryland. I continued my "Do Not Compete" protest as I think it is unreasonably difficult and has no breaks for my nap.
Contemplating the Ismaili Centre Toronto from the Aga Khan Museum, with the CN Tower in the background.
The Aga Khan Campus, Toronto, featuring the Aga Khan Museum, Ismaili Centre and the Aga Khan Park. The campus was formally inaugurated by Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, in the presence of His Highness the Aga Khan, 49th hereditary Imam of the Shi'a Ismaili Muslims.
The $300M campus is a gift from the Aga Khan to Canada.
These institutions join the Ismaili Centre in Burnaby, Global Centre for Pluralism on Sussex Drive Ottawa, as well as the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat, also on Sussex Drive Ottawa, as markers of the Ismaili community in Canada, as well as markers on the 1,400 year long rope of continuous Imamat.
Sura 3 Ayat 103:
"And hold fast, all together, by the rope with Allah stretches out for you, and do not be divided amongst yourselves. And remember Allah's favour unto you: For ye were enemies and He made friendship between your hearts so that ye became as brothers by His grace"
Sura 24 Ayats 35-7
"Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. His Light is as a Niche in which is a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, the oil of which well nigh light, though no fire touched it: Light upon Light! Allah guides to his Light whom He wishes, and Allah strikes out Parables for people: and Allah all things doth know.
Lit is such a Light in houses, which Allah hath permitted to be be built in His honor; for the celebration, in them, of His name: In them He is glorified in the mornings and in the evenings, by people who cannot be diverted from the Remembrance of Allah, nor from regular Prayer, nor from the practice of regular Charity."

"Beauty" and geometry. I love all the shadows the early/late day casts in the room. She didn't know I was there. I just waited for her to come through and break up all the hard lines. I wasn't sure I captured the moment until I saw the film. Leica M3 50mm Dual Range Summicron Ilford Delta ISO 100 #BeautifulGeometry

I have done this shot before and thought of it for this theme. The inherent lines and angles with the curves of the curtains and Deirdre using a wide angle lens. I'm not sure if the highkey is of poor technique, but I like how it looks.
Harvest Moon over Rocky Hill, CT.
The clearest photo of the moon I've been able to take so far. All other attempts have cloud cover or the moon is tiny. The lighting around me must have been just right for the autofocus. I think if I'm well-lit, the moon comes out better than if it's dark around me. Taken at maximum zoom.

Since we are coming up on Halloween I figured I would put my small pumpkins to use.

Au loin la mer s'est retirée
Comme l'histoire au fond des temps
Et la forteresse ignorée
Ne vit plus qu'au souffle des vents
Mais voici qu'elle peut renaître
La cité des rêves perdus
Son lourd passé a cessé d'être
Une moisson d'espoirs déçus

Beautiful Geometry in its most basic form: points and lines.
The waning gibbous moon, glowing brightly in the daytime is a distinctive POINT between the stark LINES of the electric wires. Nature is more subtle with her lines. They are made of water vapor. Two high cirrus clouds make up opposite sides of a PARALLELOGRAM when connected with the electric wires.

The #FlickrFriday #BeautifulGeometry challenge
The history of the bicycle is uncertain but Mr Kirkpatrick Macmillan (1812-1878) is widely credited, at least by Brits, as being the inventor of the first pedal driven two wheeled vehicle we now call a bicycle. He is also believed to be the first person to be successfully prosecuted for using one. A Glasgow newspaper report of 1842 reported that "a gentleman from Dumfries-shire... bestride a velocipede... of ingenious design" had knocked over a pedestrian and was fined five shillings. Perhaps he'd left inventing brakes to someone else. Cycling has, in the UK, become increasingly popular over the last 10-15 years; a trend which looks set to continue, raising lively arguments around public provision for cyclists.
To link this image of my own bike to this week's geometry theme, simply contemplate the lines, curves and angles of its aluminium frame, each married together perfectly to provide a strong, lightweight, streamlined vehicle capable of transporting a rather less streamlined rider from A to B.
The photo was taken in a near dark room with the bike itself being painted with a cycle light (what else?) to illuminate parts selectively while leaving others in shadow - a very hit and miss technique. A low perspective close up view with a wide angle chosen on the zoom lens allows the star to dominate the frame
A tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and a icosahedron or in gaming dice terms a D4, D6, D8, D12 and a D20.
