“Her complexity is a glorious fire that consumes, while her simplicity goes unapproachable. But if one takes time to understand her, there is something beautiful to find, something simple to be loved. But she goes unloved, for being misunderstood.”
― Anthony Liccione
Vessel is a 16-story structure of connected staircases between the buildings of Hudson Yards, located in the 5-acre (2.0 ha) Hudson Yards Public Square.[3] Designed by Thomas Heatherwick,[4] Vessel has 154 flights, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings that stretch from its 50-foot-wide (15 m) base to its 150-foot-wide (46 m) apex,[4] with the total length of the stairs exceeding 1 mile (1.6 km).[5] The structure also has ramps and elevators to make it compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.[3] Stephen Ross, the CEO of Hudson Yards' developer Related Companies, said that The Staircase's unusual shape was intended to make the structure stand out like a "12-month Christmas tree."[3] The copper-clad steps, arranged like a jungle gym[6] and modeled after Indian stepwells,[5][7] would be able to hold up to 1,000 people at a time.[4] Heatherwick said that he intends for visitors to climb and explore the structure as if it were an actual jungle gym.[8] At the top of the structure, visitors could have views of the Hudson River coastline.[5]
Vessel is being designed in conjunction with the Hudson Yards Public Square, designed by Thomas Woltz from Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects.[9] The attached 5-acre (2 ha) public square has 28,000 plants and 225 trees,[10] located on the platform upon which Hudson Yards is built.[11] The plaza's southern side is slated to have a canopy of trees. The southeast entrance is designed to contain a fountain as well. A "'seasonally expressive' entry garden" is meant for the 34th Street–Hudson Yards station's subway entrance at 33rd Street.[12] The plaza is also designed to connect the High Line promenade.[13]
Although Vessel had originally been slated to cost $75 million,[3] the projections were later revised to between $150[4] and $200 million.[5] Heatherwick attributed the greatly increased price tag to the complexity of building the steel pieces.[3] The pieces of Vessel are being assembled in the commune of Monfalcone in Italy.[3] From there, ships transport the sections of the sculpture to the Hudson River docks.[5]

Dedicated to Paul Ewing and Catness Grace for sparking the idea.

A macro view of a collection of glass beads. The frame represents a span of two-inches from top to bottom.
Strobist info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights positioned at 9- and 3-o'clock, 20-inches above and two-feet away from the beads. They were fired in Manual mode @ ¼ -power through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes.
The speedlights were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.

Near sunset from near the bottom of the "trail" to Secret Beach and enjoying the complexities of the view to the north.
Persino un piccolo ruscello che rimbalza sulle rocce è un sistema incredibilmente difficile da descrivere da un punto di vista fisico e deterministico... eppure, sembra la cosa più semplice e banale da guardare ed ammirare.
Meraviglia del nostro universo.

August is the month for gorgeous Hydrangeas. Lace-cap varieties are outstanding for their complex blooms. I love their starry centers.

even though my eyeballs were having soo much fun focusing on all of the gorgeous rides at the auto show i couldn't help but admire the amazing details of the ceiling in the convention center. the intricacies and colors had me looking up quite often :)
Trying to decipher the complexities of Wistman's Woods has never been easy even in foggy conditions. Despite heavy fog in parts of Dartmoor, it was intermittent within the woods, changing all the time. I spent 4 hours last sunday wandering back and forth, stumbling over the mossy rocks and fallen branches. Happy to say I got back with few images that I am happy with.
The immense complexity of Tokyo unfolds beneath a sky heavy with evening cloud from the vantage of the first deck of the Tokyo Skytree, Japan.
Our family had never visited Japan and we opted to stay for a week tacked on to a family visit to Hong Kong, splitting our time between the mountains near Nagano and the incredible human hive that is Tokyo. The Tokyo Skytree is the second highest building in the world and still quite a bit shorter than the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. My youngest son is oddly fascinated with the world's tallest buildings, so we made time to ride the ridiculously fast elevator up to the eyrie above the city. It ascends 350 vertical meters in approximately 50 ear-popping seconds. There is a shorter, faster-moving queue maintained for foreign tourists, which is a very thoughtful gesture. However, the crowds packing the observation deck make one feel as if bees actually have quite a spacious arrangement. On this particular evening, the full moon was rising on the eastern side of the tower and the sun was setting on the western side. I had thought to photograph both phenomena but this proved impossible as the humanity was so dense and viscous that I could not navigate from one side to the other quickly enough to capture both photographs.
It was difficult for me to comprehend the reality of this many people in the same place. As of 2014 Tokyo is the largest city in the world with over 38 million people calling the greater megalopolis home. That's over 2,600 people in every square kilometer. The numbers simply transcend meaning to my mind.
May all your busy days be harmonious! A tribute to the unlimited complexity of the urban experience. Alternate titles: Fado; West Coast Vibe; Biker Blues; Concerto for Guitar and Bikes; Made in the Shade.
The XF 16-80mm kit lens is not shortlisted for the X-T5’s pixel pitch, but I’m satisfied with the sharpness of this image on a 2ft=60cm wide print.
