The curving balconies of Piercy&Company designed Deltic House caught my eye, then I spotted the people on the balcony.....
This is another upload from last months London Flickr Group photowalk around Kings Cross. Following our visit to the Aga Khan Centre we then explored the ever-changing area around Kings Cross.
These free photowalks are usually about every 4-6 weeks so keep an eye on the group for details of upcoming events : www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup

From the Piercy&Company website, "Located between Handyside Street and York Way on the eastern side of the King's Cross Masterplan, R8 is one of the final commercial buildings of scale to be delivered at King's Cross.
The project consists of a mixed-use hub, offering 72 affordable socially rented residential apartments and a range of workspace, meeting rooms and event spaces designed to support local businesses and residents in the area and beyond.
Comprised of two eleven-storey buildings, one dedicated to residential and the other, workspace, atop of a two-storey small business hub which connects the buildings at lower level in addition to a ground floor retail unit and garden at podium level.
Several contextual conditions informed the scheme's massing, layout and facade design. These include Network Rail tunnels to the northeast of the site, which limited the weight of the scheme; connecting the building to the variety of building uses within the masterplan and beyond; a pocket park to the west of the site; and providing a gateway into the masterplan via York Way.
Therefore, the resulting design is like a piece of infrastructure, refined and robust. The office building's facade gently curves to cradle the adjacent pocket park whilst inside, a large efficient floor plate can accommodate a flexible range of workspace. Small Business and Voluntary Sector spaces are envisaged for the ground and first floor, where the building will be most publicly accessible with an active frontage. Double height voids are introduced in the centre of the first floor floorplate to connect with the ground floor activity.
The residential building has a shallower massing which increases daylight within the apartments and minimises loading on the tunnels below. Its balconies echo the office facade curvature at a smaller domestic scale, creating a playful facade that defines the eastern edge of the masterplan and adds to the vibrant architectural language of the area."

Environmental awareness causes millions worldwide to use energy efficient light bulbs, which are up to 80% more efficient than standard bulbs and yet produce the same amount of light.
Wouldn't it be great though if we could all use light bulbs which are not only energy efficient but don't even need to be plugged in to light up our lives. Now that really would produce a revolution in energy efficiency! But until that time using energy efficient light bulbs helps reduce our personal impact upon the environment.
This image was done at the same time as Exploded View.
Having an energy saving lamp glowing, without being plugged in to a power source is a surreal sight. This is another image which I enjoyed producing, although it is somewhat different from my normal colourful style...

10 years on, the fight of the Galaxy Squad Corps against the Buggoid Swarm rages on.
In 2023 the Tech-NIK Corp. assisted in making a brand new upgraded line-up of vehicles for the 4 factions.
As the main line of defence, the GS-G “MagnaKoma” Heavy-class model was uniquely developed for the Green Squad to improve the mobility of their defensive/offensive capabilities, making efficient use of Tech-NIK Corp’s R-T Heavy Load joint system and their BB tyre model.
Equipped with a frontal beam Gatling gun, a pair of mechanic arms, and a missile launcher pod module.
To further support the defensive and offensive capabilities of this mobile tank, the Green AI Assistant robot’s brain module was duplicated and placed into 2 artillery drones, integrated within the MagnaKoma‘s “abdomen” module.

New energy efficient LED lighting illuminates the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge: red, white, and blue for the American arched spans and red and white for the Canadian arched span. View from the lock gates of the Sault Canal (Parks Canada) National Historic Site.
The International Bridge- -a 4.5 kilometer / 2.8 mile long metal Cantilever (suspended deck) Warren Through Truss two lane bridge with a two span arch over the American Soo Locks and a single span arch over the Canadian Sault Canal. It was designed by the New York architectural firm of Steinman, Boynton, Gronquist and London; the bridge opened October 1962. The bridge spans the St. Marys River and connects Sault Ste. Marie Michigan to Sault Ste. Marie Ontario.
The Sault Canal opened in 1895- - it was the world’s first electrically operated lock, and the world’s longest lock- -274 metres / 899 feet long and 18 metres / 59 feet wide. Closed in 1987 due to a lock wall collapse, the canal was reconstructed and reopened for recreational boating use in 1998. The Sault Canal is operated as a National Historic Site by Parks Canada.

London - A shot taken a couple of weeks back, very much on the default intinerary of many London photographers. I hadn't done any long exposure stuff since first toying with it Scotland last year and didn't have an LE filter for the new 24-70mm (since rectified) so took this with the wide angle to include the mudback. Unfortunately missed out on the dramatic light of a few minutes earlier courtesy of the super-efficient person at the cross-river ferry ticket office!
Thanks for your interest

A quicker, safer, cost-efficient, and less disruptive semi-modular construction solution
Canberra Hospital Building 8 is a four-storey new build delivered by SHAPE under a Design and Construct model. It forms part of SHAPE’s ongoing work on the more than $600 million Canberra Hospital Expansion Project, one of the ACT Government’s largest healthcare infrastructure projects to deliver new, state-of-the-art facilities for the region’s growing population.
One of the main goals of the project was to minimise disruptions to healthcare operations and improve the clinical space by consolidating various hospital teams under one roof, while also providing additional medical and office spaces.
To meet the client’s key values of speed, safety, efficiency and minimal disruption to operations and the public, plus the limited space for on-site works, the SHAPE team utilised an innovative semi-modular style of construction. This involved the prefabrication of most of the structure off-site with efficient on-site assembly, allowing the fitout to commence immediately once a floor was completed. Each of the floor plates were constructed in seven days with the building structure completed over a five-week period.
A first of its kind in Canberra, this semi-modular solution not only meant a more efficient and cost-effective build, but it led to improved environmental performance and reduced waste. The mega panel façade system has superior thermal and acoustic performance than traditional cladding, leading to a better façade air leakage performance. This airtight solution, combined with the high-performance chilled beam HVAC system that provides industry-leading air quality throughout the building, has led to an estimated 20% efficiency in power consumption and significantly reduced maintenance requirements.
The project was completed with zero Lost Time Injuries (LTI) with 97,000 hours on site. By proceeding with modular methods, the project significantly reduced various safety risks due to shorter on-site construction periods. The mega panel façade system was delivered and installed on-site via a crane, with handrails attached, removing the majority of working at heights risks, as the team was able to work off booms to secure a panel before the next one was dropped by the crane.
As a result of SHAPE’s innovation on the Canberra Hospital Building 8, SHAPE has recently been listed as finalists in the Master Builders ACT’s 2023 Master Builders and Asset Construction Hire Excellence Awards in the ‘Project displaying technical difficulty or innovation and Commercial or retail fitout, refurb or alteration over $10m’ category.

Ariane 5 flight VA254 with the Eutelsat Quantum and Star One D2 satellites is being rolled out from the Final Assembly Building (BAF) to the ELA-3 (Ensemble de Lancement Ariane) Ariane 5 launch complex, at Europe's Space Port in Kourou, French Guyana on 29 July 2021.
Quantum, the ESA Partnership Project with Eutelsat, Airbus and Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, is a pioneering mission preparing the way for the next generation of telecommunications satellites, which will be more flexible by design and so more adaptable to customer needs once in orbit.
Quantum is a shift from custom-designed satellite with one-off payloads to a more generic approach, resulting in unprecedented in-orbit reconfigurability in coverage, frequency and power, allowing complete mission rehaul, including orbital position.
ESA partnered with satellite operator Eutelsat and manufacturer Airbus to design this programme, in response to today's market requiring satellites to be able to respond to changes in geographical or performance demand, either during manufacturing or after launch. This will enable the operator to address emerging business opportunities — even those that appear after it has ordered a satellite.
Such ESA Partnership Projects maximise the benefits to industry thanks to an efficient, co-managed approach that is tailored to commercial best practice.

Griffon vultures have been used as model organisms for the study of soaring and thermoregulation. The energy costs of level flight tend to be high, prompting alternatives to flapping in larger birds. Vultures in particular utilize more efficient flying methods such as soaring. Compared to other birds, which elevate their metabolic rate to upwards of 16 times their basal metabolic rate in flight, soaring griffon vultures expend about 1.43 times their basal metabolic rate in flight. Griffon vultures are also efficient flyers in their ability to return to a resting heart rate after flight within ten minutes.
As large scavengers, griffon vultures have not been observed to seek shelter for thermoregulation. Vultures use their bald heads as a means to thermoregulate in both extreme cold and hot temperatures. Changes in posture can increase bare skin exposure from 7% to 32%. This change allows for the more than doubling of convective heat loss in still air. Griffon vultures have also been found to tolerate increased body temperatures as a response to high ambient temperatures. By allowing their internal body temperature to change independently of their metabolic rate, griffon vultures minimize their loss of water and energy in thermoregulating. One study in particular (Bahat 1995) found that these adaptations have allowed the Griffon vulture to have one of the widest thermal neutral zones of any bird.
It declined markedly throughout the 19th–20th centuries in much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, mainly due to direct persecution and "bycatch" from the poisoned carcasses set for livestock predators (Snow and Perrins 1998, Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). In some areas a reduction in available food supplies, arising from changes in livestock management practices, also had an impact (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Orta et al. 2015). It is very highly vulnerable to the effects of potential wind energy development (Strix 2012) and electrocution has been identified as a threat (Global Raptors Information Network 2015). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for veterinary purposes pose a threat to this species. One case of suspected poisoning caused by flunixin, an NSAID, was recorded in this species in 2012 in Spain (Zorrilla et al. 2015). Diclofenac, a similar NSAID, has caused severe declines in Gyps vulture species across Asia.
The western parts of lots 20 and 22 of Market Street accommodate this tiny house with a West Fourth Street address in Hermann, Missouri. The lintel above the doorway tells us it was built in 1913. In a niche in the wall to the left, a small marble slab tells us, in German, that the wall was built
in 1897, by E. Schuch.

BR 'Grid' 56107 after running round its train in the Old Manchester Ship Canal sidings at Walton awaits departure back to Healey Mills in Yorkshire.
Originally back in the 1970's Fiddlers Ferry P.S received the bulk of its coal via the Woodhead route, direct line through South Manchester via Northenden and Skelton Junction to Warrington via Lymm and Latchford, uncomplicated and efficient. When the Woodhead closed in 1981 and the Latchford Line closed in July 1985 Fiddlers Ferry P.S received coal from far and wide necessitating a double run around manoeuvre here and at Latchford Sidings.
For a short while after this image was taken a draw back loco was employed (class 08 even 31's) but it was grossly inefficient and did not drastically change things.
Forced to hit the archives for the next wee while... perhaps not enitely bad, as my workflow methods could never be described as a efficient!
What I tend to do is... plan a shoot... pick my fav from the bunch... work on it... upload it... move on to the next shoot... pick my fav from the bunch... work on it... upload it...
I'm much happier creating than editing, so as a result, I pass over an awful lot of material (some of it deserves to be ignored to be honest), but perhaps a few others should leave the dark recesses of my HD.
This one's from Oct 1st and is a 4 sec exposure @ f22... with tripod and feet in the water :-)

We came across a sweet deal on energy efficient, environmentally conscious LED light bulbs so we decided to install them throughout our house. We had spiral CFL lights before, and we donated all of them so they will still be put to good use. LED lights do produce a nice warm glow, similar to incandescent bulbs. I just used a flash here to make it look cool! :o)
LEDs are much better than incandescent or CFLs because they don't contain mercury, they use far less energy and they last a lifetime.

The efficient Red-eye from Osaka to Kuala Lumpur took me here in just over six hours. A bit of soothing and quietude was in order so I hurried to the city's lovely Taman Tasik Perdana - the Lake Gardens. Of course I had my camera in hand...
I was in fact looking to renew acquaintance with a Frog-Friend, some sort of cousin of mine whom I'd met earlier this year (see my www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/11748645636). And indeed we had a little croak together and a slip-in among the lilypads. That's where I saw a whole flock of wonderful Flour-White Dashers, Brachydiplax farinosa. Now and then this one would come back to its favorite perch, here on a White Water Lily Petal.
L'odio
Guardate com’è sempre efficiente
come si mantiene in forma
nel nostro secolo l’odio,
con quanta facilità supera gli ostacoli
come gli è facile avventarsi, agguantare.
Non è come gli altri sentimenti,
insieme più vecchio e più giovane di loro,
da solo genera le cause
che lo fanno nascere.
Se si addormenta il suo non è mai un sonno eterno,
l’insonnia non lo indebolisce ma lo rafforza.
Religione o non religione
purché ci si inginocchi per il via
Patria o non patria
purché si scatti alla partenza
Anche la giustizia va bene all’inizio,
poi corre tutto solo,
l’odio. L’odio.
Una smorfia di estasi amorosa
gli deforma il viso.
Oh, quegli altri sentimenti
malaticci e fiacchi!
Da quando la fratellanza
può contare sulle folle?
La compassione è mai
arrivata per prima al traguardo?
Il dubbio quanti volenterosi trascina?
Lui solo trascina, che sa il fatto suo.
Capace, sveglio, molto laborioso…
Occorre dire quante canzoni ha composto?
Quante pagine ha scritto nei libri di storia?
Quanti tappeti umani ha disteso
su quante piazze, stadi?
Diciamoci la verità:
sa creare bellezza
splendidi i suoi bagliori nella notte nera
magnifiche le nubi degli scoppi nell’alba rosata
innegabile è il pathos delle rovine
e l’umorismo grasso
della colonna che vigorosa le sovrasta.
È un maestro del contrasto
tra fracasso e silenzio
tra sangue rosso e neve bianca
e soprattutto non lo annoia mai
il motivo del lindo carnefice
sopra la vittima insozzata.
In ogni istante è pronto a nuovi compiti.
Se deve aspettare aspetterà.
Lo dicono cieco. Cieco?
Ha la vista acuta del cecchino
e guarda risoluto al futuro.
Lui solo.

This otter spent well over two hours feeding through this opening in the ice. The skill it exhibited was quite apparent as it often surfaced with more than one fish. In this photo, notice that it has a fish in its mouth, and two more actively flopping on the ice prior to being devoured.
