The Al Faisaliah Tower in downtown Riyadh was the first skyscraper built in Saudi Arabia. The 60-story building with a gently curving shape has a restaurant encapsulated in the golden geodesic orb that tops the Tower. It opened in May 2000. The two hundred and sixty seven metres high Faisaliah tower, with a golden globe just below the summit, took three years to build and has been planned by its British designers to withstand Saudi Arabia's soaring summer temperatures of more than fifty degrees Celsius 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Up to fifty tons of ice are taken into the tower each night, which then melts during the day to keep the building cool.
If you wonder how I get photo like this, the story goes as follows - during my February trip to Saudi, I've discovered unfinished high building between Kingdom tower and Faisaliah tower. The weather that month was terrible due to sand storm across the whole region. I have however made appointment that I come again within one month. So I did. The construction manager that I have agreed with was not there anymore but they knew I'm coming. It was just after 4PM but the sunset was at 6PM that day. Shift for construction workers finished at 4.45 PM which would mean I have to walk to the 19th floor on foot if I'd come just before 6PM as they only use one work lift that is from outside of the building (rather scary, not recommended to look down). I didn't fancy the walk up and agreed with the present manager that I stay there for those 2 hours till sunset and then walk those 19 floors down. They already thought that I'm crazy, but as there are not that many crazy European women around, they let me. Luck however was on my side and that handsome manager came back just before sunset, probably thinking that I shoot 3 photos of sun setting down and I'm done. How little did he know ... The best colors always come after sunset and long exposures can be done only when the darkness falls. He had to wait for another hour to get me down :-) We had really lovely time while seeing sky like this, listening the the calls for prayers, coming from every corner of the city.. allahu akbar, allahu akbar... with the whole city in front of us. We talked about life and photography, he made a mistake asking me, how is the photo done, so I bore him for a while trying to explain long exposure time .. not for long.. Moments like this are priceless and I was extremely thankful to him that he rescued me from walking all those 19th floors down on rather unfinished staircase. I was also very lucky with the weather that day as clouds and colors likes this are very, very rare in the Middle East. The Gods of weather had been on my side yet again. And at last not least, if you wonder what is that bright spot in left top corner, the answer is - yes it is the moon.

ENCAPSULATED BEAUTY / THE FINAL / CHRISTELLE GEISER & AEON VON ZARK / NAKED EYE PROJECT BIENNE / ALTERED STATE SERIE / THE WEIRD DREAM / PORTRAIT.
I absolutely love trees. They are truly living monuments, they catalyse my feelings of nature’s strength, they help me feel humble in their majesty, they remind me of childhood and they encapsulate all the very best feelings I have towards nature. But, they are so ‘very’ hard to photograph! Not the solitary one in a field, that’s moderately straightforward, or the one growing out of something that it shouldn’t, that generates interest, but the ones sounded by others. Well that’s a real pain to make work photographically. So to be fair I should change my opening statement to, ‘I absolutely love trees, but when their hanging out together, I find them hard to photograph!’
Now forests are wonderful places that generate such strong emotions for me. It’s a mixture of child hood fun, nature’s majesty, even an evolutionary resource and security. But can I tap into those feelings and transpose them into a photograph, can I buggery! The problem is composition.
Good composition tends to balance the viewing process, placing subjects, often strong graphical shapes in equal proximity around the frame, to offer an overall balance that is pleasing to the mind’s eye. This then is useful at guide the viewers eye around the image and if done well securing their attention, keeping it there as long as possible. (On a momentary side note truly ‘great composition’, for me, tends to have overall balance and good control over the viewers eye movements, but deliberately leaves elements of tension, to challenge the viewer. But I shall probably explore this in a further post.)
Anyway to my point, trees (or should I say the ones in forests) don’t fall into this formula, as they are unordered. It’s incredibly hard and often frustrating to find order in such a complicated environment, and balancing the viewer’s eye is near impossible. Now conceptually speaking this is wonderful, why should we find order in kayos, why should a composition formula make nature fit to our artistic desires? But our photographic desire to seek out and capture order, to simplify nature into component elements that balance the viewers eye is contradictory to how most forests actually are. They are unorganised, tangled, complex gnarled, wonderful, joyous, protective, natural places! Photographic paradoxes.
Note: this shot is the result of a 45 second exposure in heavy wind. The wonderful thing about the silver birch trees here is that they move evenly down the trunk (unlike more solid trees) and this gives a surreal feeling to the movement as some trees are protected by others and don’t move much, and others get gusts and move allot.
We've had icy wind and storms for a while now, and all waterfronts look like this. Today we dressed up and walked the dog around a lake for two hours, to see this beautiful natural art.

Beautiful Wilmington, North Carolina! No words can fully encapsulate such a beautiful city. Located between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean, Wilmington entices you with its distinctive architecture, friendly locals and historic downtown.
In the early 1980’s this sleepy little town was thrust into a new thriving industry - filmmaking. With such popular television hits like Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill and movies such as Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Forrest Gump, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Sleeping with the Enemy, Blue Velvet filmed here, Wilmington has garnered the name “Hollywood East.”
Restaurants, cafes, bars, historic buildings, stores and art galleries line the pedestrian friendly downtown riverfront district. Strolling the area one afternoon, I noticed these trees were strung with lights and I knew instantaneously that this would make for a great “blue hour” photograph.
Looking at this photograph brings back some great memories and a constant question - Why did I ever leave Wilmington?
Happy Travels!

1932 Chevrolet Confederate Series BA
General Motors marketed the Chevy Confederate as the 'Baby Cadillac' and shared many design similarities to its larger, more expensive, and more exclusive sibling. It wore a Cadillac-style integrated radiator shell, a longer hood, new deep crown front fenders encapsulating 18-inch wire wheels, and chrome-plated rectangular opening doors to cool the engine in the hood sides instead of louvers. Deluxe models, which added approximately $20 to the base price, added chrome-plated door louvers. The list of standard amenities included a tilting non-glare windshield, an adjustable seat, and a built-in sun visor. The six-cylinder engine displaced 194 cubic-inches, had 5.2:1 compression, overhead valves, solid valve lifters, and developed 60 horsepower. The one-barrel downdraft carburetor and counter-balanced crankshaft were new features for 1932, endowing the engine with ten additional horsepower over the previous year. The engine was backed by a three-speed manual synchromesh transmission with a single plate clutch and floor shift controls. This was the first year that synchromesh transmission was offered in all three forward gears. Mechanical features included the semi-floating rear axle, Selective Free-Wheeling (first offered in 1932), and an added frame cross-member to aid in ride comfort. Free wheeling allowed the car to coast when the driver took their foot off the accelerator pedal, offering greater fuel economy. Customers soon found the lack of downhill engine braking to be more harrowing than it was worth and the option soon fell out of favor.
The interiors had gas gauges located on the dashboard, plus additional gauges with a circular shape and dark-colored faces.
Factory literature claimed a top speed of 70-mph and period Chevrolet advertising stated 'Looming larger every day as the Great American Value.'
The 1932 Chevrolet Confederate Series BA rested on a comfortable 109-inch wheelbase and rode on 18x5.25 tires. Its wheelbase was slightly longer than the Ford Model 18 which measured 106-inches and both the Chevy and Ford price ranges were nearly identical. 1932 was the first year that Ford switched from the four-cylinder power to the flathead V8 offering 65 horsepower from its 221 cubic-inch displacement. The Fords had all-steel bodies, while the Chevrolets had the solid Fisher Body using wood and steel framing construction, plus a more rigid chassis structure and hard-rubber engine mounts affording the Chevy a smooth and refined ride at a reasonable cost. Closing a Chevy door framed in wood had a favorable and solid 'thunk' while the Ford and had a 'tiny clank.' Buyers preferred the solid nature, styling, affordability, and amenities of the Chevy, resulting in 306,716 examples built during the calendar year compared to Ford's production of 287,285 units.
Body styles and Price
The Fisher-built bodies included a roadster priced at $445, a sport roadster at $485, a coupe and five-window coupe at $490, a phaeton and coach at $495, and a sport coupe at $535. The Deluxe five-window coupe listed for $510 and the Deluxe coach was priced at $515. A five-passenger coupe was $575, the sedan at $590, and the convertible at $595. The most expensive body styles were the special sedan at $615 and the landau phaeton at $625. The special sedan was equipped with front and rear bumpers, dome light, silk assist cords, and a robe rail.
Production
The most popular body style was the two-door coach with seating for five, with 132,109 examples built. The second most popular body style was the special sedan with 52,446 units built, followed by 34,796 examples of the five-window coupe, 27,718 of the sedan, and 26,623 of the Deluxe five-window coupe. The most exclusive was the phaeton with 419 examples built, followed by 1,118 of the roadster, 1,602 of the landau phaeton, 2,226 of the sport coupe, 7,566 coupes, 8,552 of the sport roadster, and 8,874 of the sport roadster. 9,346 examples were Deluxe Coach.
Optional Equipment
The list of optional equipment was extensive, catering to popularity features that buyers preferred including single and dual side mount tires, a standard and deluxe tire cover plus metal tire covers, heater, outside mirror, pedestal mirror, trunk rack, dual horns, cowl lights, and fender well or rear tire lock. The list of Deluxe equipment that added comfort and a level of distinction included armrests, assist cords, curtains for the rear and rear quarter windows, a vanity case, chrome hood louvers, and two ashtrays.
The Confederate Series BA was Chevrolet's only model for 1932, albeit with 'Special and 'Deluxe' body styles. The company had used the single model theme since 1924, but for 1933 their lineup included the Standard Mercury (Series CC) and the Master Eagle (Series CA), both with six-cylinder power. The Standard had a 181 cubic-inch six with 60 horsepower and the Master had 194 CID with 5 additional horsepower. The Master rested on a 110-inch wheelbase while the Standard Mercury was three-inches shorter. Prices on the Master ranged from $485 to $565 and consisted of eight body styles, while the Standard prices ranged from $445 to $475 and included three body styles. The Master Eagle had an airplane-type dashboard and the Standard Mercury had safety plate glass. The Master Eagle proved to be far more popular with 450,530 examples built compared to the 35,848 of the Standard Mercury. The total production was 486,378 representing a significant increase from the 1932 model year. This trend would continue into the years that followed, with 556,666 (model year production; calendar year production: 620,726) examples built in 1934 and 544,457 (model year production; calendar year production of 793,437) in 1935.
Chevrolet would continue to use six-cylinder power, and two model lineup throughout the 1930s and into the 1940s, with wheelbase sizes that remained fairly consistent, growing to 116-inches by 1941.

On 4 April, Juice was encapsulated inside the Ariane 5’s fairing, meaning that the nose of the rocket was installed over the spacecraft. Here we see the two engineers working where the fairing meets the lower part of the rocket. This operation followed the placement of Juice atop the Ariane 5 on 1 April. Juice will remain inside the fairing during launch. Shortly after launch, the fairing will open up and Juice will separate from the rocket.
Juice is being prepared to launch from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on 13 April 2023. After an eight-year journey to Jupiter, the mission will make detailed observations of the gas giant and its three large ocean-bearing moons – Ganymede, Callisto and Europa – with a suite of instruments. The mission will characterise these moons as both planetary objects and possible habitats, explore Jupiter’s complex environment in depth, and study the wider Jupiter system as an archetype for gas giants across the Universe.

“Launch Escape System for Apollo 11. PIB.”
THIS…this is what would’ve saved the lives of Armstrong, Aldrin & Collins in the event of a launch/ascent abort scenario! Is that too cool or WHAT?! Especially since, thank God, such was not necessary.
PIB = Pyrotechnic Installation Building
More specifically then, this photograph was taken in what I assume to be the parking lot of the PIB (building M7-1469). Further, through painstaking/pathetic & pointless research, I’ve concluded, based on the angular separation between the two buildings in the distance, for them to be Hypergolic Test Building 2 (left) & Hypergolic Test Building 1 (right) (respectively, buildings M7-1210 & M7-1212). Then again, I may be wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Additionally, per Jim Behling, at the collectSPACE website. Interesting, informative & sad:
“…The southeast section of the KSC Industrial Area was formerly known as the Fluids Test Area.
Per Moonport Chapter 11, the Fluids Test Area consisted of: Hypergolic test building, Cryogenic test building, Environmental control systems building and Support building. The same reference also includes a Weight and balance building which might be near the O&C building (MSOB). Also, there are pictures (Figure 126) and other references to a pyrotechnic installation building.
I have a old Manned Spacecraft Center document (I will have to find it and post some scans) and it says the Hypergolic test building and Environmental control systems building have two bays. Using this info, I believe that M7-961 current Hypergol Module Processing, North is the Hypergolic test building and M7-1212 current Hypergol Module Processing, South is the Environmental control systems building. The document I have shows one building further south where M7-1412, Hypergol Module Storage, East is and since there used to be a H2 and O2 servicing pads near this facility, it would mean it was the Cryogenic test building.
The pyrotechnic installation building remains unknown to me and as well as the former name of Hypergol Module Storage, West. Also, weight and balance of items and spacecraft may have occurred in these same building so did the Weight and balance building exist and if so, what is it called today?
This is the area formerly known as the Fluids Test Area today.
Through further research, I have found that the Weight and Balance building became the Pyrotechnics Installation Building. This is where the final checkout of the Gemini spacecraft occurred before going to the pad. Before going to the Pyrotechnics Installation Building, the spacecraft and its fuel cells were checked out in the Cryogenic test building.
This is also where the Apollo LES was processed.
The Pyrotechnics Installation Building became the Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility-1 during the Titan IIIE era and eventually, the Vertical Processing Facility in the shuttle era.
Not to offend anybody, but with the heavy emphasis on site for anything Mercury, Gemini or Apollo, why wasn't there an uproar over the demolition of the Vertical Processing Facility (VPF) in 2010.
After all, Gemini spacecraft were processed there, and the Apollo 1 spacecraft was disassembled and laid out for the review board.”
The above thread from/at:
www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum41/HTML/000481.html
And, as a segue from Mr. Behling’s last two lines:
“The Vertical Processing Facility (M7-1469) was originally built in 1964 as the Pyrotechnic Installation Facility. In the 1970s, it became the Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility No. 1, and was used for unmanned spacecraft operations. During the SSP, particularly between 1982 and 1986, the building played a key role in the processing and integration of vertical payloads. It also housed an Orbiter Simulator used for astronaut training. However, the simulator and all support equipment have been removed, and the facility, currently in mothball status, has suffered a loss of integrity. It no longer conveys its historical functions, and thus, is not considered NRHP-eligible. In addition to these buildings, six transport vehicles at KSC were surveyed and assessed as ineligible for listing in the NRHP. These include the CTV, the Astrovan, two Payload Canister Transporters, the Solid Rocket Motor (SRM) Transporter, and the Orbiter Transporter. Both the CTV and the Astrovan are used to transport astronauts. The CTV was purchased from Continental Airlines at Denver International Airport and modified in 1992. It is used to assist crew egress following landing, and moves the astronauts from
the SLF to the O&C Building for post-flight physical examinations. A similar vehicle is used by NASA Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB. With the exception of interior modifications to support the astronauts and their equipment, the CTVs are identical to the vehicles, variously referred to as “mobile lounges” and “plane mates,” used at commercial airports today. Similarly, the Astrovan, used to transport the astronauts and their support team to the launch pad, is unremarkable in design and similar to a commercially-available Airstream trailer, with the exception of interior modifications. This Astrovan is not the original, which has been retired from service (Mark Smith 2006). Thus, it is not distinguished by its exceptionally significant historical associations with the SSP.”

This photo encapsulates what I and many other visitors come to expect when we tour the Cotswolds. I must admit we only stumbled across the place whilst looking for The Fleece Inn where we were heading for a pint.
A couple of details of note are the two hares on top of the thatched cottage roof and the beautiful 13th century St Leonards church.
This pretty much sums up the state I live in. Pretty disappointing and frustrating place to live. And we weren't even part of the confederacy. This was taken a while back. I was struggling with today's theme of '21' in the Flickr 21st Birthday Daily Photo Challenge. I was scrolling through old photos trying to get inspired and came across this which luckily had a 21 in it.
The fairing is being closed on the Spanish high-resolution land imaging satellite, known as SEOSAT-Ingenio, in the S5 Payload Processing Facility of Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana on 5 November, 2020.

She made me do it sir! It has been raining all afternoon and it seems that has encouraged us to bring the lenses out. I was going to have a break and not post anymore until after the big system maintenance but Cheryl inspired me to post this last shot which I prepared earlier! A good day for water drops and drips like me.

I can't imagine a phrase that better encapsulates what I love most about the United States. "Out of Many : One" E pluribus unum was considered a de facto motto of the United States until 1956 when the United States Congress passed an act (H.J. Resolution 396), adopting In God We Trust as the official motto. The phrase is similar to a Latin translation of a variation of Heraclitus' 10th fragment, "Out of all things one, one out of all things." While it was initially in reference to the colonies or states, it has come to reflect America's cultural diversity.
The Italian/Greek American artist Constantino Brumidi is responsible for the painting of The Apotheosis of Washington and also the famous Frieze of United States History, which are seen in this photo. The Apotheosis of Washington was completed in 11 months and painted by Brumidi while suspended nearly 180 feet (55 m) in the air. Washington is depicted surrounded by 13 maidens in an inner ring with many Greek and Roman gods and goddesses below him in a second ring. The frieze is located around the inside of the base of the dome and is a chronological, pictorial history of the United States from the landing of Christopher Columbus to the Wright Brothers's flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The frieze was started in 1878 and was not completed until 1953. The frieze was therefore painted by four different artists: Brumidi, Filippo Costaggini, Charles Ayer Whipple, and Allyn Cox. The final scenes depicted in the fresco had not yet occurred when Brumidi began his Frieze of the United States History.
As long as the ice lasts, I'm dreaming. It's my kind of cold, encapsulated in a coat of solid ice, every thorn on this rose bush blunted. You can't scratch me for trying, but I've got to shiver to enjoy it, and there's nothing stinging like freezing rain. It's the weather recreating my sense of place, upending anything familiar, new for a few hours. Limbs dancing to sharp music played by makeshift chimes, timed to gusts of wind. Warmth coming hard on a southblown breeze, it'll be gone like it never was by morning. But my mind breaks bright to what shatters the cracking quiet, hands full of pieces of peace again. Something to set your dark eyes shining before nightfall. I blinked once, and it was gone.

1.5 weeks ago, before we got all the snow we have now, it was very cold and everything by the sea and lakes was encapsulated in ice.
This is a little part of a big felled tree, that for some reason was floating in the sea below our house.
My album of ice and snow here.
