The flowers are in convex umbels that are arranged in racemes . The flowers are small, hermaphroditic, regular, five-toothed and yellow-green. Flowering is in late summer and autumn from September to December. Ivy is an important bearing plant . Flowering ivy is a rich source of nectar and pollen for many insects in autumn when few other plants are in bloom.
The dull black berries ripen in spring.

The Courtyard (El Atrio), where urban and some sacred functions met. Here, at least in the 16th and 17th centuries, ordinary people were sometimes buried. This space is entered through the convex staircase, designed by the Vatican architect, Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

#Bottles(s)
Please press "Z".
This is the base of a green glass bottle that once contained white wine and now is a vase. I often keep beautiful bottles, big or small, just because they look nice. I use them as decorative objects, as colour filters for tabletop photography, or as vases. And when I saw this bottle, I bought it specifically because it looked so nice (hoping that the content would be nice as well – it was), and with the intention of turning it into a vase. There's a glasser around my corner who has cut off the necks of quite a few bottles for me, as the DIY methods you can find on YouTube seemed too unsafe for me to do it myself. When I turned the bottle upside down, I noticed the really interesting-looking circular pattern at the base consisting of many tiny indendations. I've experimented with light from different positions, and backlit (with a hint of red light slightly from the front / above) brought out the patterns best.
There's also a bit of an optical illusion here, because the whole bottle base is convex (as to be expected), and the circle at the centre is a convex shape of its own, even though in the final image it looks concave, sort of bulging. And with those two extra, almost V-shaped indentations at the centre it reminded me of a reptile's eye staring right at me ;)
The "V" shape at the centre is 0,5 cm / 0,19 inches long, and the circle itself has a diameter of 2,5 cm / 0,98 inches. It's a single shot processed in DXO PhotoLab 5, with further tweaks in Analog Efex (vignette, Vintage Camera 5), and in Color Efex (Brilliance & Warmth, Detail Extractor, Photo Stylizer).
HMM, Everyone, take care and stay safe!
Schau mir in die Augen, Kleines? Nun, warum nicht. Denn weder hat Humphrey Bogart das tatsächlich so gesagt noch ist Kaa böse, obwohl er in den Disney-Verfilmungen des Dschungelbuchs so dargestellt wird. Und eigentlich ist das der sehr harmlose Flaschenboden einer ehemaligen Weißweinflasche, die nun als Vase fungiert. Ich hebe oft schöne Flaschen auf, egal welcher Größe, die ich als Deko-Objekt, als Vase oder auch manchmal als Farbfilter für Fotos verwende. Bei dieser besonders schönen Flasche, die ich schon mit dem Gedanken, daraus eine Vase zu machen, gekauft hatte, hat mir der Glaser um die Ecke den Flaschenhals abgeschnitten, damit ein ganzer Strauß Blumen darin Platz findet und nicht nur eine einzelne Blume. Ich weiß, dass es auf YouTube jede Menge DIY-Anleitungen gibt, die mir aber alle zu unsicher sind, um das selbst zu machen. Jetzt habe ich beim großen Fluss aber DIY-Sets entdeckt, die ich mir mal genauer ansehen werde ;)
Die Flasche an sich hätte für ein Makro nicht viel hergegeben, als ich sie aber umdrehte, fiel mir am nach innen gewölbten Boden ein interessantes kreisförmiges Muster, bestehend aus vielen winzigen Einkerbungen, auf. Und das habe ich mir dann durch das Makroobjektiv mal genauer angesehen. Das Resultat erinnert mich ein wenig an ein Reptilienauge, besonders mit den beiden länglichen (vorgewölbten) Einkerbungen in der Mitte. Dass der innere Kreis nochmals deutlich nach innen gewölbt ist, aber wie ein Auge konkav wirkt, ist eine optische Täuschung (wie sie bei solchen Formen häufig vorkommt, finde ich). Das Foto ist eine Einzelaufnahme, hauptsächlich von hinten beleuchtet, mit etwas rotem Licht leicht von vorne / oben für extra Akzente.
Habt eine schöne Dezemberwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, und passt gut auf Euch auf!
The Palazzo Pubblico (town hall) -- a palace in Siena, Tuscany, Italy.
Construction began in 1297 to serve as the seat of the Republic of Siena's government.
The outside of the structure is an example of Italian medieval architecture with Gothic influences. The facade of the palace is curved slightly inwards (concave) to reflect the outwards curve (convex) of the Piazza del Campo, Siena's central square, of which the Palace is the focal point.
The campanile or bell tower, Torre del Mangia, was built between 1325 and 1344.
Although in Britain we do not eat this mushroom it is eaten in Eastern Europe and Russia, they fry or grill it with a little butter and salt and find it delicious. I have tried it myself and although it is indeed peppery I found the mushroom to be fairly average and have not bothered since.
location: North America, Europe
edibility: Inedible
fungus colour: White to cream
normal size: 5-15cm
cap type: Convex to shield shaped
stem type: Simple stem
flesh: Flesh exudes white or watery latex (milk) when cut, Flesh granular or brittle
spore colour: White, cream or yellowish
habitat: Grows in woods, Grows on the ground
Lactarius piperatus (Scop. ex Fr.) S. F. Gray. Peppery Milkcap, Lactaire poivré, Vache blanche, Pfeffer-Milchling, Keserûgomba, borsos (fehértejû) keserûgomba, Gepeperde melkzwam. Cap 6–16cm across, convex with concave to widely funnel-shaped centre, creamy white, surface matt and glabrous. Stem 30–70 x 20–30mm, cylindrical or tapering towards the base, white. Flesh thick, white. Gills decurrent, crowded and narrow, white then creamy. Milk white; taste very hot and acrid. Spore print white (A). Spores elongate-elliptic, ornamented as L. vellereus, 6.5-9.5 x 5–7.5µ. Habitat deciduous woods. Season summer to early winter. Frequent. Edible but not recommended -avoid; used dried as seasoning or fresh after parboiling in some places, even then retaining an unpleasant taste and difficult to digest. (Never eat any mushroom until you are certain it is edible as many are poisonous and some are deadly poisonous.) Distribution, America and Europe. Easily distinguished from L. vellereus by its taller stature, glabrous cap and crowded gills.
Lactarius piperatus var. glaucescens (Crossland) Smith & Hesler is easily distinguished by observing the way the latex droplets dry greenish on the gills.

As Parmigianino did it, the right hand
Bigger than the head, thrust at the viewer
And swerving easily away, as though to protect
What it advertises. A few leaded panes, old beams,
Fur, pleated muslin, a coral ring run together
In a movement supporting the face, which swims
Toward and away like the hand
Except that it is in repose. It is what is
Sequestered.
John Ashbery, Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror
Here is a fun fact for you to try, the makers of the movie, "The Matrix", got right. Look into the concave side of a spoon, and you will see yourself both inverted and upside down. Then turn the spoon over, and look at the convex side. You will see yourself stretched, but right side up, and proper.
Isn't science fun!
Palazzo Spadaro Sec. XVII - XVIII
Il palazzo appartenuto alla famiglia Spadaro, di origine modicana trasferitasi a Scicli nel XVII secolo, fu costruito a più riprese durante il 1700.
Questo sviluppa il suo prospetto tardobarocco in lunghezza, assecondando l'andamento curvilineo che la strada assume in questo tratto.
La facciata presenta otto balconi con inferriate convesse in ferro battuto con particolari modanature rococò a motivi geometrici e floreali.
La parte sottostante presenta otto aperture tra i due portali intagliati con eleganti modanature.
Il portone principale, antistante la chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo presenta una decorazione ricca dove si può vedere il simbolo della famiglia Spadaro, ovvero un leone rampante.
A destra l'ingresso dell'Antica Farmacia Cartia.
Palazzo Spadaro 17th - 18th century
The palace that belonged to the Spadaro family, of Modica origin who moved to Scicli in the seventeenth century, was built several times during the 1700s.
This develops its late Baroque elevation in length, following the curvilinear course that the road assumes in this stretch.
The façade has eight balconies with convex wrought iron railings with particular Rococo moldings with geometric and floral motifs.
The underlying part has eight openings between the two portals carved with elegant moldings.
The main door, in front of the church of San Michele Arcangelo, has a rich decoration where you can see the symbol of the Spadaro family, that is a rampant lion.
On the right, the entrance to the Antica Farmacia Cartia.

Hey folks, sorry if my comments have been a bit thin on the ground, life is very busy since I fully retired last month and I started work on my second book. Here's one I took a few weeks back of Derwent Dam in the Upper Derwent Valley. I was there again yesterday and the Autumn colours of the trees is just wonderful now. I've been a bit arty with this one (like I do!) I just felt like the strangness of the dead tree shape and the rotten timber below just cried out for such treatment.
Have a great week ahead my dear friends - thank you for the joy your amazing pictures bring me and for your continued reciprocal support.

A macro view of four square beads and their distorted reflection in a convex reflective surface, taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "Reflection." The frame represents a span of 1¼ - inches across.
Strobist/technical info:
The scene is a 9-image focus stack composite. It was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights CL/CR, fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄64 -0.7EV power through Neewer 24" soft boxes.
A steady green LED was shown from 9-o'clock onto the background to create the green tones. The LED was diluted in the background by the flash, but not its reflection.
The SB900s were triggered by PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.
Lens: Tokina AT - X M100 AF PRO D (AF 100mm f / 2.8 Macro).

LA GRANDE JETÉE
La construction de la jetée de La Chaume s'est effectuée en trois temps :
En 1764-1765, les travaux concernent la jetée dite "Saint-Nicolas", ouvrage en pierres sèches de forme convexe situé au bas du prieuré Saint-Nicolas.
Puis en 1863, selon les directives de M. de Franqueville, le prolongement de la jetée est opéré en venant s'appuyer à son extrémité sur une roche appelée « La petite Pierre du Port », le tout formant un angle très prononcé avec le brise-lames.
Enfin, de 1876 à 1883, l'édification de l'extrémité de la grande jetée de La Chaume, sur 100 mètres en direction du Sud Est, permet de protéger l'entrée du port des lames des tempêtes.
La construction du phare sur le musoir de la grande jetée est achevée en décembre 1910. D'une hauteur de 12,50 m, il est en pierre de taille de granit. A l'origine, le feu fonctionnait à l'huile minérale sans gardien permanent et avec un dispositif de rotation électrique.
Le décret du 3 juin 1876 comprend également la réalisation de passerelles de halage reliant cet ouvrage au quai de La Chaume. Les fondations sont en moellons bruts et mortiers de ciment de Portland. Le platelage de 300 mètres en bois, soit 28 travées, était fixé sur des poutres métalliques supportées par des piles en maçonnerie de moellons bruts. La longueur totale de la passerelle est de 492 m.
Celle-ci est également détruite par les troupes allemandes à la fin du mois d'août 1944. Cependant, le ministère des Travaux publics ne juge pas utile la reconstruction du chemin de halage (puisque selon lui, les bateaux ne sont plus halés comme autrefois). Finalement, c'est dans le but de créer un lieu de promenade privilégié à La Chaume que les travaux débutent en 1967. La passerelle est réouverte au public en août 1971.
Mais subissant les assauts des embruns, la jetée Saint-Nicolas a fait, depuis, l'objet de nombreux travaux de restauration. La corrosion des armatures a fragilisé la structure du tablier et des rambardes. Celles du bout de la grande jetée sont remplacées en 1996. Dernièrement, la sécurité des promeneurs a rendu nécessaire la réhabilitation complète de la passerelle. L'inauguration de ce nouvel ouvrage est intervenue le 5 août 2008.

Reflexión de la luz sobre un espejo curvo. (Convexo).
La reflexión de la luz es el cambio de dirección que experimentan los rayos de luz al llegar a una superficie.
Ocurre cuando los fotones de luz chocan contra cualquier superficie. Esta propiedad es muy notoria en las superficies pulidas y lisas, como los espejos, la superficie del agua en reposo y el piso brillante.
Cualquier cuerpo que tenga una superficie muy pulida o lisa se llama espejo. Pueden ser de cualquier material, los más comunes están hechos de vidrio con una delgada capa de un elemento químico y metálico, llamado mercurio, por detrás. Los espejos pueden ser Planos o curvos.
