The composition of this image was achieved IN CAMERA using an Apple iPhone 4S. Post capture processing was indeed done, but only involving the treatment of light and colour. By "breaking the rules" of the iPhone's panoramic function, the image can be skewed, splintered or fragmented into a multi-planarity that could, perhaps be called a form of "Millennial Cubism".

The lighting on the top floor has a different colour temperature than the lights further down, therefore the interesting colour cast.

form follows function, extended version.

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".

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.

Cerro Tomolasta (2,018–2,120 m) and Cerro Sololosta (1,795 m) are prominent peaks associated with the Michilingüe people. Their names, likely of Michilingüe or Comechingón origin, are interpreted as "high and sacred hill" and "sacred summit," respectively, reflecting the spiritual and ceremonial function of these peaks in the worldview of the indigenous peoples.

This caught my eye yesterday I like the futuristic vibe.

In the Ancient Greek religion, Hestia (/ˈhɛstiə, ˈhɛstʃə/; Greek: Ἑστία, "hearth" or "fireside") is the virgin goddess of the hearth, the right ordering of domesticity, the family, the home, and the state. In Greek mythology, she is the eldest daughter and firstborn child of the Titans Cronus and Rhea.

Customarily, in Greek culture, Hestia received the first offering at every sacrifice in the household. In the public domain, the hearth of the prytaneum functioned as her official sanctuary, and, when a new colony was established, a flame from Hestia's public hearth in the mother city would be carried to the new settlement. The goddess Vesta is her Roman equivalent. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hestia)

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

Asparagus has been used as a vegetable owing to its distinct flavor, and in medicine due to its diuretic properties and its purported function as an aphrodisiac. It is pictured as an offering on an Egyptian frieze dating to 3000 BC. In ancient times, it was also known in Syria and in Spain. Greeks and Romans ate it fresh when in season, and dried the vegetable for use in winter. Roman Epicureans froze its sprouts high in the Alps for the Feast of Epicurus. Emperor Augustus created the "Asparagus Fleet" for hauling the vegetable, and coined the expression "faster than cooking asparagus" for quick action.

 

A breed of "early-season asparagus" that can be harvested two months earlier than usual was announced by a UK grower in early 2011.

In Germany, asparagus is grown in "tents" as you can see here near Geiselhöring.

Three levels of a rural outbuilding. Too small to be a functioning barn. Definitely too big to be just a shed. It might have been someone's house at one time in its history, but it no longer is.

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

Looking great in fresh paint, veteran S317 leads container train 1845 through Lithgow past the last-built member of the 81 class, 8184, in October 2015.

 

Streamlined bulldog and good looker S317 was about to turn 54 years old, while functional 8184, the newest of its class, was a youngish 24. The first of each class entered service in 1957 and 1982 respectively. 8184 was one of four additional 81 class built several years after the rest.

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.

Hi, I'm Vaughn. I received a notice in the mail about my Beetle.

 

Oh, yes, thank you for coming down. You can just leave the keys with me and we'll handle the rest.

 

Pardon? Why would I leave my keys?

 

Well, this is a recall. We're recalling the Volkswagen Beetle.

 

Eh... I hadn't heard of anything with the newer Beetles, but mine is a '67.

 

Oh, right, we're recalling all of them.

 

You're recalling all the Volkswagen Beetles? What does that mean??

 

Every Beetle ever made.

 

Why??

 

Road functions.

 

Road functions?? What does that mean? Do you know how many Beetles are out there?

 

Over 20 million.

 

Are you compensating people for turning in their Beetles??

 

Of course we couldn't do that. There are too many. Your keys please. Make this easy.

 

And at that moment Vaughn awoke in a sweat! He ran to his garage and hugged his Beetle, weeping great tears of joy.

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.
