La ameba Nebela se ha echado a dormir, se ha enquistado dentro de su cascarón de pepitas de cuarzo formando una esfera como el mundo; así estará bien arropada y protegida, y quizá de esa forma pueda pasar mejor el invierno de hielo, en la Sierra de la Culebra le espera bajo los aullidos sobrecogedores de los lobos que a veces visitan la charca en la que vive.
Hoy la Naturaleza ha gastado una broma a esta ameba discreta, colocando sobre la cúpula de su casa un tirabuzón. Molinete verde que adorna su cabeza haciéndola presumida en este tiempo de sueño invernal. La espiral de la vida seguirá su ciclo y este filamento que adorna como una joya minúscula, la minúscula casa de joya de Nebela se irá despertando al desperezarse la espiral, cuando sople el viento de primavera.
Cuando ella llegue se convertirá en hilo ondulado...hilo de vida de una cianobacteria que aunque recuerda a Lyngbia contorta probablemente sea Scitonema...y que ha hecho lo mismo que Nebela. Se ha convertido en un ovillo para pasar estos fríos de invierno junto a la compañía de esta ameba. Cuando la primavera empiece a despertar ellas lo harán también transformando su belleza estática en latido.
La ameba Nebela protege su cuerpo dentro de un cascarón fuertemente comprimido en forma de gota y ese cascarón de doble capa, se cubre hoy de pepitas de cuarzo transparentes que ella misma fabrica como gotas de cristal.
La cápsula que encierra el cuerpo de Nebela suele ser ligeramente ocre o amarillenta, comprimida lateralmente y presenta pequeños poros laterales difíciles de observar. El cuello tras el que se encuentra la apertura de su casa - que puede ser lineal, ligeramente o fuertemente curvada - es muy corto, apenas está marcado y su borde está rodeado por un collar de materia orgánica.
El caparazón y casa de esta ameba puede estar compuesto de dos capas una interna constituida por un cemento orgánico y la más externa donde se adhieren partículas minerales, restos de diatomeas o placas de sílice fabricadas por ella misma, como ocurre en la Nebela de hoy. El caso es que para que pueda tener esta capa exterior fabricada con placas, necesita alimentarse de otras amebas que también tengan caparazón. Si no lo tienen y se alimenta solo de amebas desnudas, su cuerpo estará también semidesnudo y únicamente protegido por la capa más interna de cemento traslúcido.
Cuando camina por los fondos Nebela desparrama sus brazos en el agua abriéndose en ella y abrazándola como gruesas raíces móviles que se funden y desaparecen para volver a surgir en mil formas diferentes.
Nebella tubulosa , no es una ameba común, la de hoy vive entre los esfagnos de una turbera situada en las inmediaciones de la pequeña localidad de Boya, situado en pleno corazón de la Sierra de la culebra de Zamora y ha sido fotografiada a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia.
Fingal Head boasts some of the most spectacular examples of columnar jointing to be found in the whole of NSW. The name "Fingal Head" is actually derived from a fabled Scottish hero who was involved in the folk story surrounding the creation of Fingal Cave in Scotland and the Giant's Causeway in Ireland. The local indigenous Goodjingburra clan's name for Fingal Head is Booninybah - Home of the Giant Echidna: "Booniny" means Giant Echidna. The spectacular columns of Fingal Head resemble the spines of an echidna, and so the Goodjingburra believe that the spirit of the echidna inhabits the headland.
Geology
The columnar basalt lava flow at Fingal Head extends underwater to Cook Island (named after Lieutenant James Cook who explored the east coast of Australia in 1770). The lava is thought to have come from the prehistoric Tweed Volcano and is known as "Lismore Basalt"; predominantly tholeiitic with occasional alkaline types. This unit is stratigraphically equivalent to the Beechmount Basalt in Queensland.
The jointing, clearly evident at Fingal Head is caused by contraction: as lava cools from the outside toward the centre, shrinkage cracks develop, usually forming hexagonal patterns (the shape of the columns is attributed to tensional stress). These columns are vertical because the lava cools from top to bottom when the flow of lava is horizontal.As always, thanks for any comments, views or favorites, they are much appreciated!

My new book. :)
The book quality is as same as my previous book (Paper & Form).
About this book:
Hardcovered and 188 colored pages.
Language: English and Hungarian.
Product dimensions: 21 cm x 30 cm.
27 models with step-by-step computer diagrams. Moreover 17 additional new models you can fold from this book with a little experience. (And there are some other photos from the variations of the models.)
I think most models of them are perfect in two-dimensional version, but of course, they will be better if you shape them to 3D.
All models are made from one uncut square.
You can see the photos of the models, which you could fold from this book here:

Veamos: hay dos personas que quieren mantenerse en forma haciendo dos horas de deporte los domingos por la mañana (si hace bueno, claro), que se acerca el verano y ya mismo hay que ponerse el bañador. Uno, digamosle X, sale del punto A montado en bici a una velocidad de 10 Km. hora. Otra persona, llamemosle Y, sale andando del punto B a un ritmo de 90 pasos cada minuto (más o menos). Teniendo en cuenta que la pista mide 3 kilómetros y que la persona Y no puede invadir el carril-bici de la persona X, porque no veas como se pondría esta última: que si "aparta!!!", que si "no será que no tienes sitio!!", o "será gili, ni aquí nos respetan ya!!", pues eso, habría que despejar la siguiente incógnita: ¿cuánto grano tiene la foto?
Ah!!! y ya puestos, a ver si sabéis cual es la lesión más común de los fotógrafos-aficionados.-peroconunequipoquetecagas

There is so much going on across this ancient fortress high over Dorset. The huge peaks and troughs of land, forged by bygone civilisations out of the natural hillside, providing an imposing defense from would-be attackers.
Then there are the smaller ripples in the earth formed simply by gravity gradually pulling the earth down in waves, and finally the more recently added hurdle fencing, intended presumably to prevent too much land slippage.
And then of course the much smaller, seemingly random holes dug by a certain little dog while waiting for the photographer to do his stuff.
La pointe de Dinan est une pointe de Bretagne dans la presqu'île de Crozon, marquant la limite nord-ouest du cap de la Chèvre. Elle est située au sud de Camaret-sur-Mer, sur le territoire de la commune de Crozon.
I love the colour and shapes of this exterior dining table at a diner. The colours matched the facade of the building.
The iconic "Beauty of Flight" sculpture that greets visitors at the main gate of the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona.
Just loved the way the fire illuminated the lines of her bod and blazed through her hair. She was stunning.
Civita di Bagnoregio (Vt).

Civita è una frazione del comune di Bagnoregio, in provincia di Viterbo, nel Lazio, facente parte dei borghi più belli d'Italia, famosa per essere denominata "La città che muore".
Si trova nella valle dei calanchi un'area situata tra il lago di Bolsena ad ovest e la valle del Tevere ad est, nel comune di Bagnoregio. È costituita da due valli principali: il Fossato del Rio Torbido e il Fossato del Rio Chiaro. In origine questi luoghi dovevano essere più dolci e accessibili ed erano attraversati da un'antica strada che collegava la valle del Tevere al Lago di Bolsena.
La morfologia di quest'area è stata provocata dall'erosione e dalle frane. Il territorio è costituito da due formazioni distinte per cronologia e tipo. Quella più antica è quella argillosa, di origine marina e costituisce lo strato di base, particolarmente soggetto all'erosione. Gli strati superiori sono invece formati da materiale tufaceo e lavico. La veloce erosione è dovuta all'opera dei torrenti, agli agenti atmosferici, ma anche al disboscamento.
Abitata da sole sette persone (al 2016) [senza fonte] e situata in posizione isolata, Civita è raggiungibile solo attraverso un ponte pedonale in cemento armato costruito nel 1965. Il ponte può essere percorso soltanto a piedi, ma recentemente il comune di Bagnoregio, venendo incontro alle esigenze di chi vive o lavora in questo luogo, ha emesso una circolare in cui dichiara che, in determinati orari, residenti e persone autorizzate possono attraversare il ponte a bordo di cicli e motocicli. La causa del suo isolamento è la progressiva erosione della collina e della vallata circostante, che ha dato vita alle tipiche forme dei calanchi e che continua ancora oggi, rischiando di far scomparire la frazione, per questo chiamata anche "la città che muore" o, più raramente, "il paese che muore".

Amazing nature created her form to be the wonderful flowers, see her details especially petals and stamens.
I captured when it was late evening by RAW; edited by Apertured; just a bit.
Thank you to planted some trees:)
As you study this photograph, you see the many forms of water. You see waterfalls of different speeds, some short, some tall, grouped, single, arced, straight, and even a few which have all of these characteristics. Regardless of its characteristic, water doesn't stop when a boulder is in its way. We have more to learn from this natural resource.
This looks best full-screen.
