It's always nice to find a conveniently placed convex mirror to shoot the carousel in.
Another view of the carousel is here:
These are used all over Japan because the country has such narrow roads with difficult to see corners. Once you get used to them, they are very useful.
yet again with the mirrors. i should get a fish-eye lens and stop all this madness.... :)

Another early morning shot. Actually I didn't plan for it.. i think my friend woke up to go to the toilet & happened to see the colours of the sunrise & woke me up at 430am for this. I immediately got up, got changed & ran straight to this place from my hotel without washing up haha! Really ...that's ridiculous when i think of it now & I reckon I'm never going to do this sort of thing again cos the rest of that day I'm pretty screwed as i didn't have time to go back to bed! Be honest, pls tell me if its all worth the wake else i'm so gonna punch my mate in his nuts :P

This little brass plane has a convex sole and blade, allowing for the accurate smoothing out of hollow wood surfaces.
Therefore, it is a perfect match for luthiers, who have to carefully chop fine shavings off the inner side of the top plate of a violin.
Hence the name of "Luthier plane".

The coastline takes on a distinct convex-shaped curve in this area.

As I was driving past an industrial estate in Holland.
I saw this structure, a rainbow-coloured 30m high pole advertising the colour photo lab...
I could not resist a close-up of this, I just like puzzling graphics, this one has an added bonus, when you rotate it, the metal scales go from concave to convex.
Rainbows are all around us, for those who look.
THANK YOU very much for your time, M, (*_*)

I'd been looking forward to taking a 'flight' on the BA i360. Shortly after arriving in Brighton I got a text to say the trip was postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. Luckily we were able to reschedule for later that afternoon.
It was well worth going up as the views were impressive but, like the same designers London Eye, photos aren't easy due to the reflections created by the convex shape of the 'pod'. Here I've enhanced' the curves by using my 8mm Samyang fisheye lens and then 'flipped' the result. The result is somehow quite ominous.......

From Wikipedia : "British Airways i360 is a 162 m (531 ft) observation tower on the seafront of Brighton, East Sussex, England at the landward end of the former West Pier. The tower opened on 4 August 2016. From the fully enclosed viewing pod, visitors experience 360-degree views across Brighton, the South Downs, the English Channel and on the clearest days it is possible to see Beachy Head 27 km (17 mi) to the east and the Isle of Wight 66 km (41 mi) to the west.
British Airways i360 was designed, engineered, manufactured and promoted by the team responsible for the London Eye. It is estimated by the developers that the i360 will generate more than 440 permanent jobs; 160 posts at the attraction, and additional jobs from the spin-off benefits to other businesses in the city. The attraction cost £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through Brighton and Hove city council.
Formerly known as the "Brighton i360", the project aimed to attract 739,000 paying customers every year. The owner of the site, the West Pier Trust, hoped in 2014 that a successful i360 would lead to the rebuilding of the historic West Pier. The i360 carried its 1,000,000th passenger on the 11am flight on 11 March 2019."

Built in 1966, this complex of Modern and Brutalist high-rise apartment buildings was designed by Bertrand Goldberg for the Chicago Housing Authority to serve as affordable housing on the Near South Side. The buildings, often compared to Goldberg’s more famous Marina City, are made up of curved concrete forms with pill-shaped windows, small penthouses with concavely curved facade panels and ribs, and convexly curved facades with flutes on the principal facades of the buildings, with two cylindrical towers and two arc-shaped towers with balconies and open stair towers comprising the complex’s four high-rise apartment buildings, which are situated in a park-like setting with landscaped grounds featuring lots of trees, a sunken amphitheater, parking lots, and a low-slung one-story service building at the south end of the site. The complex was renovated between 1997 and 2006, rehabilitating and modernizing the apartments, and converting it from a low-income housing project into a mixed-income community. The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, and today serves as a mix of affordable and market-rate housing.
Le stūpa est le monument par excellence du bouddhisme. Hémisphère compact revêtu de pierres ou tour pleine plus ou moins élancée, à faîte convexe, minuscule ou gigantesque, richement décoré ou présentant des parois nues simplement peintes, il se dresse partout où des bouddhistes ont vécu et tenu à manifester leur foi. Sa silhouette a évolué depuis les exemples les plus anciens (II e s. av. notre ère) au point que seul l'historien de l'art peut reconnaître une parenté entre des formes aujourd'hui très diverses ; la valeur symbolique qu'on lui attribue s'est profondément modifiée chaque fois que sont apparues dans le bouddhisme de nouvelles tendances doctrinales ou dévotionnelles ; il n'en reste pas moins le seul édifice cultuel dans lequel tous les bouddhistes se soient reconnus et se reconnaissent encore.
Les textes qui relatent l'érection de stūpa sur les cendres du Buddha Śākyamuni indiquent très clairement que ce type d'édifice est antérieur à la prédication du Buddha. Aussi bien connaît-on des stūpa non bouddhistes (jaïns en Inde, bon-po au Tibet) ; de même, en Inde, où le bouddhisme a presque entièrement disparu, il est fréquent que des Hindous rendent un culte aux anciens stūpa. Mais il s'agit là d'exemples marginaux. Seul le bouddhisme a fait du stūpa l'édifice symbolique par excellence de ses croyances ; seul le bouddhisme a construit cet édifice par milliers d'exemplaires en Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est, en Asie centrale, en Chine et au Japon. Nous traiterons donc dans cet article du stūpa bouddhique exclusivement.
Érection et culte du stūpa
À l'origine, le stūpa est un monument plein. Il contient souvent des reliques, qui s'y trouvent donc scellées. Il est exceptionnel qu'on ait prévu un moyen d'extraire et de replacer le reliquaire sans endommager l'édifice. Il n'existe pas de stūpa creux, pouvant contenir une image accessible du Buddha par exemple, avant une époque assez tardive (VI e s.). Dans sa variante la plus simple connue, le stūpa est un tumulus revêtu d'un parement qui lui donne la forme d'un hémisphère (en sanskrit aṇḍa, « œuf »). Dans l'aṇḍa est fichée une hampe (yaṣṭi) verticale, parfois de grande taille, supportant un nombre impair de parasols (chattra) en pierre ou en bois. La base de la hampe, à sa sortie de l'aṇḍa, est entourée d'un petit pavillon quadrangulaire (harmikā), dé de maçonnerie ou simple barrière (vedikā). Des banderoles et des guirlandes sont suspendues aux parasols et appliquées contre l'aṇḍa. Lorsque la configuration du terrain le permet, l'édifice est orienté : ses axes correspondent aux points cardinaux.
Il existe des stūpa isolés, qui furent dressés au sommet d'un col ou à un carrefour important afin que les passants puissent leur rendre hommage, mais normalement un stūpa monumental est toujours associé à un monastère avec qui il forme un ensemble architectural décelable lorsqu'on étudie le plan-masse du site. Car la construction d'un stūpa étant productrice de mérites, plus longue est la vie d'un site, plus se multiplient autour du stūpa principal des stūpa secondaires de taille variable, au point qu'on en arrive sur certains sites (Bodh Gayā, Haḍḍa, Takht-i Bahai, ...) à un véritable enchevêtrement de constructions. Par ailleurs, si l'aṇḍa est abîmé par les infiltrations d'eau ou éventré par le basculement de la hampe, le seul moyen de le préserver est de construire par-dessus un nouveau stūpa qui l'englobe. Certains stūpa ont ainsi six ou sept enveloppes, ce qui interdit d'en connaître l'aspect originel.
Le bouddhiste rendait hommage (pūjā) avec foi au monument en lui offrant des fleurs, des parfums, de l'encens, des lampes et des flambeaux, de la musique et[...]

Description from Wikipedia. Processed with Topaz Detail
Henbit dead-nettle is an annual herb with a sprawling habit and short erect squarish, lightly hairy stems. It grows to a height of about 10 to 30 cm (4 to 12 in). The leaves are in opposite pairs, often with long internodes. The lower leaves are stalked and the upper ones stalkless, often fused, and clasping the stems. The blades are hairy and kidney-shaped, with rounded teeth. The flowers are relatively large and form a few-flowered terminal spike with axillary whorls. The calyx is regular with five lobes and closes up after flowering. The corolla is purplish-red, fused into a tube 15 to 20 mm (0.6 to 0.8 in) long. The upper lip is convex, 3 to 5 mm (0.12 to 0.20 in) long and the lower lip has three lobes, two small side ones and a larger central one 1.5 to 2.5 mm (0.06 to 0.10 in) long. There are four stamens, two long and two short. The gynoecium has two fused carpels and the fruit is a four-chambered schizocarp.[2]
This plant flowers very early in the spring even in northern areas, and for most of the winter and the early spring in warmer locations such as the Mediterranean region. At times of year when there are not many pollinating insects, the flowers self-pollinate.[2]
