Blind faith in Maps....:-))

……Well hopefully the photograph is! The headstock Scroll on this Contrabass has no function so in my book it is a carved decorative artistic adornment. There - Ive convinced myself it will qualify for this weeks theme for ‘Smile on Saturday’ - “Carved Artpieces”…….. Music mostly makes me smile so hopefully this mother & son duet will make YOU smile too - youtu.be/IlbloNUSBJ0 - Now they are true Artists!!!! If you don’t have time now then I urge you to listen later. Have a smily W/End, stay locked down and cosy to stay safe and to keep EVERYONE else safe too! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to ALL the key workers who are carrying on to benefit the rest of us - we applaud you all. Alan;-)👏👏👏👏👏

Hemis (Inde) - Lorsque j'ai proposé aux jeunes moines de les photographier en groupe, j'étais loin de m'attendre à les voir prendre cette attitude qui tranche singulièrement avec leur fonction religieuse. #bouddha !

 

Hemis (India) - When I suggested that the young monks take pictures of them in groups, I was far from expecting to see them take this attitude which contrasts singularly with their religious function. #buddha!

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.

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.

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.

This caught my eye yesterday I like the futuristic vibe.

Outside of the previous Ballroom shot. Have yourself a terrific Tuesday.

Swallowtail, southwest France this summer. I liked the way the insect and the leaf have the same shape and pattern

Any functioning battalion of troopers needs a strong support system. The MED makes up the backbone of the Blood Battalion. Combining the talents of pilots, engineers and medics to create the ultimate support division. Doing anything from on the front support to hangar maintenance, these guys do it all. If you need help of any kind, these are your best bet. The Blood Battalion couldn’t be what it is without them.

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...

UPDATE: I think I finally discovered the actual species. According to this excellent site, it looks like it's a Cotton Harlequin Bug (Tectocoris diophthalmus).

 

I've never seen one of these before and apparently it's a Harlequin Beetle. I can't find much information or even the botanical name for it, so I did a search for quotes that referred to harlequins.

 

Imagine my delight when I found a quote from Battlestar Galactica! Here's the quote in full from Wikiquote:

 

Hybrid: Two protons expelled at each coupling site creates the mode of force, the embryo becomes a fish though we don't enter until a plate, we're here to experience, evolve the little toe, atrophy, don't ask me how, I'll be dead in a thousand light years, thank you, thank you, genesis turns to its source, reduction occurs step wise though the essence is all one, end of line. FTL system check. Diagnostic functions within parameters repeats the harlequin, the agony exquisite, the colors run the path of ashes...

We've had a string of winter storms lately - good to be prepared and protected.

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.

 

List of all castles:

- Winterfell

- The Twins

- Castle Black

- King's Landing

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!

I realize i shot a different detail of this device for the last theme but I cant help myself. I love old tech and this one in particular. We have shared tunes together for 40 years.

hey, ernie, what's up?

I was just thinking: isn't it odd how when you study something the thing changes?

yeah, the observer effect. like Trump winning.

no man, that's worse. it's quantum weirdness.

yeah, much worse.

you said it.

Before a concrete foundation can be poured, the forms must be set up to contain the liquid concrete, right? Stacked and ready.
