Staircase: Cour d’honneur, Les Invalides
“Les Invalides, commonly known as Hôtel national des Invalides, is a complex of buildings situated within the 7th arrondissement of Paris. The Hôtel des Ivalides was commissioned in 1670 by Louis XIV in order to provide accommodation and hospital care for wounded soldiers. Constructed from 1671 to 1676 by Libéral Bruant, then by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and Robert de Cotte, it is one the most prestigious monuments in Paris.
The complex operated as a hospital and retirement home for French war veterans up until the early 20th century. By the early 1900s the dwindling number of veterans led to the building being deemed too large for its purpose. The remaining veterans were transferred to other facilities in Paris and this paved the way for the museums to open in place of the hospital. The modern complex does however still include the facilities for about a hundred elderly or incapacitated former soldiers.
The Musée de l’Armée or the Military Museum of the Army of France was created [within the Les Invalides complex] in 1905 just after the World Fair and is the result of the merger of the Musée d’Artillerie, opened in 1796, and the old Musée de l’Armée created 100 years later. It extends over 8,000 square meters (86,100 square feet) and is made up of a museum and two churches with some 500,000 objects. This makes it the largest museum of military history in France, and one of the leading ones in the world.”
Happy Window Wednesday! 😊

Some folks make recognize this shot. It was taken by RoB_MeL and can be seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/-rob/6760512503/
Rob asked me if I would apply a little Escher Droste effect to one of his images that he thought would fit the processing. Rob is one of the artists here on Flickr that I consider a master of his craft and I have admired his art for quite some time. I think highly of Rob, and when he asked me, I was quite taken and then when he allowed me to post it well; it's a scary deal, I'm not going to lie but I'm happy with the way this processed.
101 Business Complex (rear view) located on Pine Street North in the City of Timmins Northern Ontario Canada
Better known as The 101 Mall.
for a couple of days there were a bunch of dead birds lying around the office complex in the mornings. wonder what's going on; it hasn't been that cold.
Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate (over two tons flow into Mammoth each day in a solution). Because of the huge amount of geothermal vents, travertine flourishes. Although these springs lie outside the caldera boundary, their energy has been attributed to the same magmatic system that fuels other Yellowstone geothermal areas. The hot water that feeds Mammoth comes from Norris Geyser Basin after traveling underground via a fault line that runs through limestone and roughly parallel to the Norris-to-Mammoth road. The limestone from rock formations along the fault is the source of the calcium carbonate. Shallow circulation along this corridor allows Norris' superheated water to slightly cool before surfacing at Mammoth, generally at about 170 °F (80 °C). Algae living in the warm pools have tinted the travertine shades of brown, orange, red, and green. Thermal activity here is extensive both over time and distance. The thermal flows show much variability with some variations taking place over periods ranging from decades to days. Terrace Mountain at Mammoth Hot Springs is the largest known carbonate-depositing spring in the world. The most famous feature at the springs is the Minerva Terrace, a series of travertine terraces. The terraces have been deposited by the spring over many years but, due to recent minor earthquake activity, the spring vent has shifted, rendering the terraces dry. The Mammoth Terraces extend all the way from the hillside, across the Parade Ground, and down to Boiling River. The Mammoth Hotel, as well as all of Fort Yellowstone, is built upon an old terrace formation known as Hotel Terrace. There was some concern when construction began in 1891 on the fort site that the hollow ground would not support the weight of the buildings. Several large sink holes (fenced off) can be seen out on the Parade Ground. This area has been thermally active for several thousand years. The Mammoth area exhibits much evidence of glacial activity from the Pinedale Glaciation. The summit of Terrace Mountain is covered with glacial till, thereby dating the travertine formation there to earlier than the end of the Pinedale Glaciation. Several thermal kames, including Capitol Hill and Dude Hill, are major features of the Mammoth Village area. Ice-marginal stream beds are in evidence in the small, narrow valleys where Floating Island Lake and Phantom Lake are found. In Gardner Canyon one can see the old, sorted gravel bed of the Gardner River covered by unsorted glacial till. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammoth_Hot_Springs]
Yellowstone National Park is a national park located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first National Park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park]
The Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Hill on which it sits constitute the most historically and culturally significant site in Poland. A fortified residency on the Vistula River in Kraków, it was established on the orders of King Casimir III the Great[2] and enlarged over the centuries into a number of structures around an Italian-styled courtyard. It represents nearly all European architectural styles of the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods.
Overview of the settlement from the mound that contains the defensive towers
Unesco World Heritage site: During the late 2nd century B.C. (Bronze Age), a structure known as nuraghi (for which no parallel exists anywhere else in the world) developed on the island of Sardinia. Its purpose is still debated, but it is believed to be defensive. The complex consists of circular defensive towers in the form of truncated cones built of dressed stone, with corbel-vaulted internal chambers. The complex at Barumini, which was extended and reinforced in the first half of the 1st millennium under Carthaginian pressure, is the finest and most complete example of this remarkable form of prehistoric architecture. A village, intended to accommodate the surrounding population, was built around the Nuraghe in the Late Bronze Age.

最近嫌な事が多く、久しぶりに写真を撮ったら没頭できて楽しかったなぁ。実は団地ってあまり入った事ないんだよね。超自分好みの被写体だったんだけどあまりうまくいかなかったな今日は。。。写真って猟りに似てるというけど今日のし撮れ高は低かった。でももっと日の光の良い時間にリベンジしたいなぁとおもいつつ。

CP in the book "World of Super Complex Origami"
Folded by me
Paper used: "Wenzhou" rice paper, treated with cellulose wallpaper glue. 132x132 cm.
This is a major improvement over my last attempt, and, while not perfect, is definitely one of my favourite folds I have done so far.
As always, comments and/or critique is welcome.
Union Mill Complex, better known as the Chocolate Factory, next to the Kayaderosseras Creek in Ballston Spa, New York. In the late 20th century the buildings were restored and converted into commercial and office space.
In this one sliver of a wintry Manhattan I noticed a slew of fire escapes nestled between several structures. From this angle escaping from a building seems amazingly complex.
This temple complex occupied a hilltop overlooking the rest of the Ancient Siam Park. Not only was the temple interesting itself but the views from the top were great too as can be seen here.
As with a number of building in the park this is actually a half scale replica of the original. It was however still a pretty substantial building........

From Wikipedia : "Ancient Siam (also known as Ancient City, Thai: เมืองโบราณ, Mueang Boran) is a park constructed under the patronage of Lek Viriyaphant and spreading over 200 acres (0.81 km2) in the shape of Thailand.
The founder's original idea was to create a golf course with miniatures of Thailand's historically significant structures spread around the course. During his research he found most structures severely damaged and decided instead to create new miniatures, to save the original structures when possible, or to re-create them full size or scaled down.
Ancient Siam is dubbed as the world's largest outdoor museum. Close to the Crocodile Farm in Samut Prakan province, the 320-hectare 'city' features 116 structures of Thailand's famous monuments and architectural attractions. The grounds of Ancient Siam correspond roughly to the shape of the Kingdom, with the monuments lying at their correct places geographically. Some of the buildings are life-size replicas of existing or former sites, while others are scaled down.
The replicas were constructed with the assistance of experts from the National Museum to ensure historical accuracy. Outstanding works include the former Grand Palace of Ayutthaya (destroyed in the Burmese invasion of 1767), Phimai Sanctuary in Nakhon Ratchasima, and Wat Khao Phra Viharn on the Cambodian border."
