Description of the author:
A group of high school students looks at a vortex ring shot from a homemade vortex cannon by two PhD candidates studying unsteady vortex dominated flows. Vortex rings are remarkably stable and their self-propelling properties give the impression that they defy the laws of friction. They are ubiquitous in nature, but often remain invisible like a gust of wind. In this picture, White smoke is used to visualise the vortex ring, which exemplifies how complex flow phenomena can be simply and elegantly visualised. Co-author: Sebastien Le Fouest
Comment of the Jury:
A shared moment of wonder in front of a physical phenomenon beautifully staged, conveying the surprise found in live experimentation and public science demonstrations: This image seems to re-enact historical methods of producing evidence in front of audiences by staging actual, tangible experiments, instead of handing over the main role of knowledge production to digital communication tools that are overused in today’s transmission of knowledge.
Kommentar der Jury:
Das Bild inszeniert einen gemeinsamen Moment des Staunens über ein physikalisches Phänomen und vermittelt das Gefühl der Überraschung, das zu live Experimenten und öffentlichen Demonstrationen gehört. Es scheint sich an historische Demonstrationen anzulehnen, bei denen vor einem Publikum Experimente durchgeführt wurden, um wissenschaftliche Beweise zu erbringen - und grenzt sich damit entschieden ab von einer Art des Wissenstransfers, der sich hauptsächlich auf digitale Mittel verlässt.
Commentaire du jury:
Moment d’émerveillement partagé face à un phénomène physique magnifiquement mis en scène, exprimant la surprise que l’on retrouve lors d’expériences en direct et de démonstrations scientifiques en public. L’image semble reproduire des méthodes historiques de production de preuves devant des publics, en mettant en scène des expériences réelles et tangibles, au lieu de laisser la production de connaissances à des outils de communication numériques, aujourd’hui tout-puissants pour transmettre des connaissances.
The skylight-covered loading dock at the James A. Farley Building will be a pedestrian walkway connecting 34th Street and 31st Street in the planned Moynihan Station.
The James A. Farley Building, New York City's General Post Office (Zip Code 10001), located at 421 Eighth Avenue and occupying eight acres across two full city blocks, consists of the old general post office building and its western annex. The Farley Post Office holds the distinction of being the only Post Office in New York City that is open to the public 24 hours/7 days a week.
The James A. Farley Building was constructed in two stages. The original monumental front half, boasting the longest giantr order Corinthian colonnade in the world, was built by William M. Kendall of McKim, Mead & White from 1908-1913 and opened for postal business as the Pennsylvania Terminal in 1914. The imposing design was meant to match in strength the colonnade of Pennsylvania Station that originally faced it across the avenue. An unbroken flight of steps the full length of the colonnade provides access, for the main floor devoted to customer services is above a functional basement level that rises out of a dry moat giving light and air to workspaces below. Each of the square end pavilions is capped with a low saucer dome, expressed on the exterior as a low stepped pyramid.
In July 1918, the building was renamed the General Post Office Building and was doubled in space in 1934 by James Farley, replacing the 1878 Post Office at Park Row and Broadway. In 1982, the building was renamed once more as the James A. Farley Building. Farley was the nation's 53rd Postmaster General and served from 1933 to 1940. As a candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 1940, he was only the second Roman Catholic to receive delegates towards such a nomination after Alfred E. Smith. Farley also served as a campain manager to both Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and is considered the finest Athletic Commissioner/Boxing Commissioner in New York State history.
The building prominently bears the inscription: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." Commonly mistaken as an official motto of the United States Postal Service, it is actually taken from Herodotus' Histories (Book 8, Ch. 98) and describes the faithful service of the Persian system of mounted postal messengers under Xerxes I of Persia.
Moynihan Station, a planned train terminal, would expand Penn Station into the Farley Post Office Building. Plans for the expansion of the the busiest train station in the country, serving more than 550,000 daily passengers, the busiest train station in the country with more than 550,000 daily passengers. It has since gone through a portracted series of delays and redesigns over the years. Phase I of the current plan, "Moynihan Moving Forward", broke ground in 2010 and, with work occuring only on nights and weekends, is expected to be complete by 2016. The phase consists of mostly below-grade, transportation infrastructure improvements including the expansion of the Long Island Rail Road West End Concourse under the Farley building steps to serve Amtrak and New Jersey Transit platforms, new entrances through the Farley Building, and improved ventilation. The second phase includes a sky-lit grand hall with 1 million square feet of retail space. The Farley Building's facade will remain untouched, and it will retain retail postal lobby services . However, all mail processing operations will be relocated one block away to the Morgan Processing and Distribution Center.
The United States General Post Office was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966.

Description:
Let’s not forget that the ground hides magnificent hidden treasures. In the mountains, we are captivated by the grandeur of the fauna’s surrounding peaks and the flora inhabiting these hostile places. But we often forget what we are walking on. This soil profile has been dug in the Binntal (VS) region and can remind of a cake sitting in the window of our favourite pastry shop. It is made up of several layers and fillings which are differentiated by their structure, texture, and colours, similar to a Black Forest cake.
Comment of the jury:
This nicely composed image shows an outside laboratory as well as the instruments used for the research. The jury appreciated the tension between the macroscopic and microscopic worlds: by its composition, the image seems to suggest that soil-related phenomena have an impact on the climate via the release of carbon, while unveiling the unseen complexity of microorganisms and roots. It’s a snapshot of scientific inquiry.

Vintage arms exhibition. The Day of Mourning - the 70th anniversary of Hitler's attack of Soviet Union.
M-72 is a Soviet copy of the German Wehrmacht BMW R-71 motorcycle. The external distinction between them is that original BMW had the fuel tank with flattened top. Due to the direct Josef Stalin's order five pieces of BMW have been bought anonymously in Sweden. Soviet engineers had no any technical documentation - only the very machines. And they have elaborated all necessary documentation and technology by themselves. Mass production of motorcycles started under the designation M-72 at once on five motorcycle workshops: in Moscow, Leningrad, Kharkov, Gorky and Irbit cities. By this way Red Army have get the excellent motorcycles, which have shown the best service in scout and liaison units during the Great Patriotic war 1941-1945 against Nazis.
M-72 with sidecar were usually armed by Diegtyariov Pekhotny (DP) infantry machine gun of 7.62 mm caliber. Very few pieces were armed by 82-mm mortar instead of lull. M-72 production run immidiatelly since 1941 till 1960.
Curiously but being armament carrier M-72 motorcycles were considered in Soviet military account system as 'armored vehicles' - together with tanks and self-propelled guns.
After the War M-72s were widely used in Soviet police (militia), in Frontier guard and other state institutes - naturally, in army too.
M-72 were the dream of every Soviet motorcycle fun. But only since 1955 the personal ownership of this model was allowed. And all private motorcycles still were on the military account and they ought to be enlisted in a case of war.
Especially this piece has been built by his owner - the member of Kharkov Vintage Automobiles Funs Club - just from the Army depot - together with machine gun istallation. So this piece actually did not take part in the WWII. But been stored at Army depot it remained in the original, authentic state - just the same as war-time motorcycles war. Only MG's barrel has been drilled due to the Police regulations to make impossible it use as a weapon.

Ok, may be not sheds but these Hangers are the former home of Saunders Roe. From here some of the most amazing and innovative aircraft built by a British company were built and tested. Including the Princess Flying Boat, our version if you like of the Hughes 'Spruce Goose'. And after the aircraft came the prototype and first Hovercraft in the world. Apparently the Union Jack on the doors is the largest in the world as well...

I was walking by the corner of a building one evening when I noticed that the wooden siding was uniformely cracked, or crazed. I thought I might as well document it. Who knows when I'll need a simple texture like this?
