Sagrada Família, Barcelona, España.
El Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia, conocido simplemente como la Sagrada Familia, es una basílica católica de Barcelona (España), diseñada por el arquitecto Antoni Gaudí. Iniciada en 1882, todavía está en construcción (noviembre de 2016). Es la obra maestra de Gaudí, y el máximo exponente de la arquitectura modernista catalana.
La Sagrada Familia es un reflejo de la plenitud artística de Gaudí: trabajó en ella durante la mayor parte de su carrera profesional, pero especialmente en los últimos años de su carrera, donde llegó a la culminación de su estilo naturalista, haciendo una síntesis de todas las soluciones y estilos probados hasta aquel entonces. Gaudí logró una perfecta armonía en la interrelación entre los elementos estructurales y los ornamentales, entre plástica y estética, entre función y forma, entre contenido y continente, logrando la integración de todas las artes en un todo estructurado y lógico.
La Sagrada Familia tiene planta de cruz latina, de cinco naves centrales y transepto de tres naves, y ábside con siete capillas. Ostenta tres fachadas dedicadas al Nacimiento, Pasión y Gloria de Jesús y, cuando esté concluida, tendrá 18 torres: cuatro en cada portal haciendo un total de doce por los apóstoles, cuatro sobre el crucero invocando a los evangelistas, una sobre el ábside dedicada a la Virgen y la torre-cimborio central en honor a Jesús, que alcanzará los 172,5 metros de altura. El templo dispondrá de dos sacristías junto al ábside, y de tres grandes capillas: la de la Asunción en el ábside y las del Bautismo y la Penitencia junto a la fachada principal; asimismo, estará rodeado de un claustro pensado para las procesiones y para aislar el templo del exterior. Gaudí aplicó a la Sagrada Familia un alto contenido simbólico, tanto en arquitectura como en escultura, dedicando a cada parte del templo un significado religioso.
The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia, known simply as the Sagrada Familia, is a Roman Catholic basilica in Barcelona, Spain, designed by architect Antoni Gaudí. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction (November 2016). It is Gaudí's masterpiece and the greatest exponent of Catalan modernist architecture.
The Sagrada Familia is a reflection of Gaudí's artistic plenitude: he worked on it for most of his professional career, but especially in his later years, where he reached the culmination of his naturalistic style, synthesizing all the solutions and styles he had tried up to that point. Gaudí achieved perfect harmony in the interrelationship between structural and ornamental elements, between plasticity and aesthetics, between function and form, between content and container, achieving the integration of all the arts into a structured and logical whole. The Sagrada Familia has a Latin cross plan, five central naves, a three-aisled transept, and an apse with seven chapels. It boasts three façades dedicated to the Birth, Passion, and Glory of Jesus. When completed, it will have 18 towers: four at each portal, making a total of twelve for the apostles, four over the transept invoking the evangelists, one over the apse dedicated to the Virgin, and the central dome tower in honor of Jesus, which will reach 172.5 meters in height. The temple will have two sacristies next to the apse and three large chapels: the Assumption Chapel in the apse and the Baptism and Penance Chapels next to the main façade. It will also be surrounded by a cloister designed for processions and to isolate the temple from the exterior. Gaudí applied a highly symbolic content to the Sagrada Familia, both in architecture and sculpture, dedicating each part of the temple to a religious significance.
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.

In France we say: "La fonction fait la forme". Here, one could say: "The form generates the function".

Leyton Green Towers, an 11-storey block of flats. Built in the early 1960s and refurbished in the late 2010s.
The constant movement on the Loch helped generate the changes that direct sunlight and cloud also shape moving around the vast body of water and over and through the stunning scenic valley. The changes bring thousands of views worthy of pictures and of grand panoramas. Here I was trying out the Panorama function on my phone and also taking individual pictures to stitch into panoramas in Photoshop. I would have taken some pictures of myself at the loch side, but no panorama neither phone function, nor individually stitched could have captured my smile.
If you look briefly at either set of panorama they make for a good quick look. If you zoom in on 3 phone made panoramas you will see that the details are rendering as if with heavy oils and either a dabbing technique with a brush, or by using a palette knife. The individual pictures retain a lot more photographic detail. For all sorts of the reasons the two effects could each be considered perfect for different purposes. For me there was a quick test and now there are some results that I enjoy as they are great memory revivers. Just a few glances at the wider pictures brings back the open wonders of the landscape and it also starts a process of me remembering some of the fine details including loch side breakfast and star gazing. Thinking of Highland Hobbit Life has me generating a glow that is awe-mazing, yes amazing and somehow even more than amazing.

(work shots) If you live on the edge of the labor market, owning a functioning bicycle can be what enables you to get and keep a job. At the municipality's center on Lindebjergvej, these guys, together with young trainees, help restore discarded bicycles.

The waterfall is near by the Dryanovo Monastery. Functioning Bulgarian Orthodox monastery situated in the Andaka River Valley, in Bulgarka Nature Park in the central part of Bulgaria five kilometers away from the town of Dryanovo.
As a few have already guessed right, the little crank on the base has a purpose. The turning reveals an unique clockwork function in each castles.
I tried to inspire the motions by the animations in the Game of Thrones show intro, but kept it very simple to blend in with the castle design. Functionality is not one of my strengths so it was quite a challenge, but an interesting one.

I hope you like my series as much as I liked building it.
Your feedback was already overwhelming, so I'm motivated to work on a sequel for the next year. Stay tuned!
Bailey Longcloth enters the med den heading for Ioh's bed. She check brain function and vitals all seeming to be unchanged from the morning. "Bro, you've got a lot of people worried about you." she'd stare down at her brother watching him appearing to be asleep
Bianca Bender comes up the stairs she'd see Ravi but heads straight into the Med Den, knowing Elise is following.
Ravenne Karu glances over and mewls to the two.
Bianca Bender blinks stopping inside the door...going forward..."Dazy...." sound suncertain...something..the build...the scent under the pink dye..isn't right...
Elise Capalini follows Bianca into the med den. That pink isn't right...and neither is that scent... "What the fuck is going on?" she growls.
Bailey Longcloth turns hearing her name, "O hai" she'd smile to both Bianca and Elise . She shrugs, "What do you mean? I know I haven't been around much but.."
Bianca Bender seconds Elise's growl...her's more confused..but relief as well...."Bails!" frowns when she says that...and looks at Elise....and back to Bails..."Cut it out...what the hell's going on..."
Bailey Longcloth rolls her eyes, "Not you too Bianca, I'm Dazy, -not- Bails"
Elise Capalini only stares, feeling like she's in a nightmare.
Bianca Bender would take a few steps forward...and reaches out fingering the very identafiable necklace around your neck unless you step back...she'd look up either way...gritting between her teeth..."Try...Again."
Bailey Longcloth steps back a bit before Bianca can grab the collar, "Yeah, it's Bails' I sent her home. She'd left it here when she woke up. I fixed the clasp and put it on so I didn't lose it" she'd shake her head at the stitcher, everyone had to be delusional
Bailey Longcloth stares back at Bianca, "Fine I'll do it but I checked him this morning and he's fine" she'd go over to the sink washing her hands before putting on gloves. She'd take a syringe out of the cabinet before turning to the med cabinet. She'd take her key out and unlock it taking the anticoagulant down, measuring the dosage and turning back to inject it into Ioh's IV
Elise Capalini shoves her PDA away, watching the Dazy-Bails with the drugs. Did Bianca trust her to actually do that? Shit....shit...shit. "Bianca, i want her strapped to the other bed. This isn't--right."
Ravenne Karu steps just inside still holding her PDA. She opens her mouth, then closes it, waiting for a moment.
Elise Capalini snarls as the doors open, but quiets when she sees Ravi. "Ravi--do you have intel on Dazy?"
Bianca Bender frowns...watching Bails follow her orders...and would stride forward reaching for Bails hand before she can inject the drugs into the IV, "Damn you...." pulls the hand back...."You should know that's to much..you'll turn his blood into water..." mrowls and looks over at Elise but nods, "See if you can find the other restraints in the work room." seeing as Ioh is already strapped down..why not make it a family affair.
Bailey Longcloth hears her name, "I'm standing right here!" she'd growl at no one believing she was who she said she was
Ravenne Karu shakes her head and murmurs quietly "No.. I was wonderinf if there was anything I could do... though.." she steps in closer and whispers to Elise, glancing over to the pink haired one.
Eamon Cale turns toward the warm feathered weight on his shoulder, and murmurs soft Gaelic to her. Lenore murrs and nibbles at his wild black hair, then she spreads her wings and launches into the gloom, winging her swift way to the top of the building before him, to wait. The priest watches her go, then he raps on the med den doors with the head of his cane.
Bailey Longcloth growls hearing the mention of restraints as Bianca grabs the syringe, "You are -not- restraining me! You know..." she'd begin to tense as if she was gonna run right past them all
Elise Capalini moves toward the work room, talking to Ravi as she goes. "You're a ghost--what's the first step? We gather intel. Dazy's last known location...search in and around the den for any evidence--is this tied to the bombings or is this something else?" She roots through lockers and finds restraints, her eye narrowing.
Bianca Bender would make a quick decision...she'd let the syring fall and would make a grab for Bails arm twisting it up and into her back..."No you don't." she'd felt the girls need to sprint.
Bailey Longcloth growls and tries to pull away from Bianca, "You can't... you wouldn't do this to me" she'd twist her head to look at Bianca, the fear and terror in her eyes plainly obvious
Ravenne Karu turns suddenly as there's a rap on the door. She steps forward to open it, then hears a commotion behind, turning back before she saw who was on the other side, having unlocked the door but not opened it quite yet. "Right. Was thinking on that."
Bianca Bender murrs and bites her lip hard...but keeps the pressure on Bails arm..."It's for your own good kitteh...don't want you out running around...with someone else brain in your head...or what ever the fuck is going on...." she'd look towards the door at the rap but keeps a tight hold on Bails, adding an arm wrapped around the front of her shoulders and pulling Bails back against her chest...."Don't fight...you'll end up dislocating..or having me break your arm...and we really don't want that now do we..." looks frantic as she sees Eamon coming through the door.
Eamon Cale hears the click of the lock, but no one opens the door. One dark brow arches slightly, and a bit more when he hears the sounds of a commotion on the other side. He shifts his cane beneath his arm and opens the door, and slowly steps inside... only to find himself faced with a psychedelic Bails. "What in the name o' the Mother o' God...?"
Elise Capalini comes back into the other room, still snarling, restraints held in one hand. "Dazy," she says to the cat who is obviously not Dazy, "this is for your own safety--we don't wnat you to hurt yourself...or Ioh...or anyone in here." She looks at Eamon and blinks. "Welcome to the mad house, love."
Titanic Belfast is a visitor attraction opened in 2012, a monument to Belfast's maritime heritage on the site of the former Harland & Wolff shipyard in the city's Titanic Quarter where the RMS Titanic was built.
It tells the stories of the ill-fated Titanic, which hit an iceberg and sank during her maiden voyage in 1912, and her sister ships RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic. The building contains more than 12,000 square metres (130,000 sq ft) of floor space, most of which is occupied by a series of galleries, private function rooms and community facilities, plus the addition of Hickson’s Point destination bar in March 2018.
