Le Cisne Branco est un voilier brésilien exerçant des fonctions diplomatiques et de relations publiques. Sa mission est de représenter le pays dans les événements nautiques nationaux et internationaux. Il est également utilisé comme navire-école.
Il a été commandé par la Marine pour les célébrations du 500e anniversaire de la Découverte du Brésil et a permis de participer à la traversée commémorative de l'Atlantique avec un voilier.
Il a été construit aux Pays-Bas et a un navire jumeau, le Stad Amsterdam, naviguant sous le pavillon des Pays-Bas.
Il a subi un accident en Équateur lorsqu'il est entré en collision avec un pont à Guayaquil en raison du fort courant.
The Cisne Branco is a Brazilian sailboat performing diplomatic and public relations functions. Its mission is to represent the country in national and international nautical events. She is also used as a school ship.
It was commissioned by the Navy for the celebrations of the 500th anniversary of the Discovery of Brazil and allowed participating in the commemorative crossing of the Atlantic with a sailboat.
She was built in the Netherlands and has a sister vessel, the Stad Amsterdam, sailing under the flag of the Netherlands.
She had an accident in Ecuador when she collided with a bridge in Guayaquil due to the strong current there.
These old elevators were designed for function not so much for form or prettiness. Over time though their patina transforms them into a wonderful artistic looking form.
Each rhododendron bloom is a gathered colony of small, near-identical flowers—delicate, deliberate, and designed to draw in early summer’s pollinators. Their symmetry has both function and grace.
MLC Centre architecture cannot be overlooked. With elegantly contoured, stark white concrete, white quartz and glass, the façade presents itself as a handsomely moulded sculpture.
Harry Seidler AC QBE is a luminary of Australian architecture. Widely considered as the first architect to fully express the Bauhaus aesthetic here. The MLC Centre remains one of his most definitive works on the Sydney Skyline.
244m to antenna and 227m to roof. The MLC Centre was Sydney’s tallest building in Sydney from 1977 to 1992. It is currently the fifth tallest building behind the Meriton World Tower (230m), Deutsche Bank Place (240m), Citigroup Centre (243m) and Chifley Tower (244m). The tallest structure in Sydney is still the Sydney Tower at 309m.
Looking up at the award-winning Sharp Centre for Design at OCAD University in Toronto. Although quite striking with the 12 multi-coloured, pencil-like supports, I downplayed the colour as to highlight the contrasting shapes, angles, light and textures with this capture.

An iPhone shot using the inbuilt HDR function, taken when Martin’s mother & sister visited from England & we had coffee at Waterford Castle. I have never been inside such luxurious loos before HWW!
Fornasetti Creation
La mano, questo mezzo eccezionale, fa parte del pensiero, perché, non solo lo interpreta, ma lo giuda nello stesso tempo per certe sue misteriose capacità di inventiva. L’arte è o manuale o mediata, come nell’architettura e nel design, i quali si esprimono per idee che guidano l’esecuzione, attraverso la mediazione del disegno e del modello. Architettura e disegno si identificano nel disegno o nel modello, ma non nell’opera come nelle arti pure. In questo caso di Fornasetti, l’arte è esercizio mentale e mediato. Ma fa lo stesso, perché in fondo l’intelletto opera manualmente, cioè pensando alle mani operanti.

The hand, this exceptional mean, is a part of thought because it not just interprets it, but at the same time
guides it by some mysterious powers of invention. Art is either manual or mediated, as in architecture and design, which express ideas that guide the execution through the medium of the sketch and the model.
Architecture and design are identified with the sketch or model, but not with the work itself, as in the pure arts. In the case of Fornasetti, art is a mental and mediated exercise. But it makes no difference, because in the end, the intellect functions manually, that is, by thinking about the hands working.
In France we say: "La fonction fait la forme". Here, one could say: "The form generates the function".
Swallowtail, southwest France this summer. I liked the way the insect and the leaf have the same shape and pattern

Fuut voert veertje aan jong , 12 mei 2017
Futen zijn de enige vogels die hun eigen veren eten, meestal geplukt van de borst- of buikstreek. De veren vormen een bal in de maag, waar ze deels worden verteerd en gemengd met voedsel tot een bol die uiteindelijk wordt uitgebraakt. Deze gewoonte dient er waarschijnlijk toe om de ingewanden te beschermen tegen de moeilijk te verteren visgraten. Ouders voeren hun jongen ook veren.
Eng: When preening, grebes eat their own feathers, and feed them to their young. The function of this behaviour is uncertain but it is believed to assist with pellet formation and to reduce their vulnerability to gastric parasites.

The Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées, commonly known as the Grand Palais, is a historic site, exhibition hall and museum complex located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris between the Champs-Élysées and the Seine, France. Construction of the Grand Palais began in 1897 following the demolition of the Palais de l'Industrie (Palace of Industry) to prepare for the Universal Exposition of 1900. That exposition also produced the adjacent Petit Palais and Pont Alexandre III.
The building was designed to be a large-scale venue for official artistic events. A pediment on the building refers to this function with an inscription that reads, "a monument dedicated by the Republic to the glory of French art." Designed according to Beaux-Arts tastes, the building features ornate stone facades, glass vaults and period innovations that included iron and light steel framing and reinforced concrete.
It is listed as a historic monument (monument historique) by the Ministry of Culture.
Spring returns to the Fobbing Marshes. So do we. Not that we've been away much. But if recent walks in sub-zero temperatures and fog were a test of endurance we now look forward to joyous (and wet) walks in temperatures trending upwards. And with the water courses flowing things are stirring and splashing so they need investigating. I'll leave that to Freddie. "Form and Function" as my very knowledgeable Flickr friend wheres_bruce calls it. I'm just hoping my waterproof boots are as good as advertised...

The Castle of Nagyvázsony aka the Kinizsi Castle was originally built in the 15th Century and was given to Pál Kinizsi, one of the commanders of King Mathias. Nowadays it functions as a museum and lookout, while archeological excravations are still ongoing. This photo is a moody version of the popular scene.
