The lamp posts in Venice always drew my attention. The stret lights we have here in california are functional, but lack personality! Funny how we are always drawn to the beauty of something different when we travel.

Please have a look at my albums:
View from the Sedrun multi functional station inside the Gotthard base tunnel.
The exit of the tunnel in this direction is 20 km away, in the other direction it is even 37 km away.
By chance I had the opportunity to visit the tunnel through the SBB gottardino program. Once the tunnel goes into full operation in December 2016, it will no longer be possible for the public to have such a close look.
We were all tickled by this little mirror at the Airbnb house we stayed over the weekend. Our wonderful host who normally lives here has 2 little dogs, so it was a nice whimsical touch. Oh, and Alyeska thought it was quite functional! 😂

Thanks for all the faves and kind comments!
A hospital ward, could be anywhere I would think. It is functional too, as long as you know what kind of functions are included or excluded. Is a "sense of beauty" functional? Is a piece of art included in the functions offered by a hospital? A flower perhaps? Small things can make a big difference. Most important is the other thing one cannot see in this picture - the humanity of the hospital staff and the person-to-person contact between nurses, doctors and patients. Whatever the architecture. Fuji X-Pro1 plus Helios 44M-7 wide-open.
Functional is about the best way you can describe this building. No one was around at the time, and in fact you rarely see anyone around this police station - not the place to be seen perhaps. And you have to wonder what is being thrown out with the trash in that wheelie bin. But not all is prosaic. That sky is clearing and the light is breaking through. Beauty is all around if we look hard enough.
Been researching the almost unbelievable, near miraculous tiny chemical ‘machines’ that are in us by the billions... and make us functional... Dyneins and Kinesins. To have your mind blown check out the few basic visual explanations on YouTube...
“ Dynein is a family of cytoskeletal motor proteins that move along microtubules in cells. They convert the chemical energy stored in ATP to mechanical work. Dynein transports various cellular cargos, provides forces and displacements important in mitosis, and drives the beat of eukaryotic cilia and flagella. Wikipedia”

Réalisé par le bureau d’architecture Beguin-Massart, le bâtiment, recouvert d’une résille opaline aux contours doucement arrondis, se dépose comme une lanterne au cœur de la ville. Il est l’aboutissement d’une réflexion où les architectes ont su rencontrer la poétique du lieu, son histoire, sa beauté, et toutes les exigences fonctionnelles d’un musée d’aujourd’hui. Avec plus de 600 m2 de surface d’exposition, un espace librairie, un centre de documentation, un espace de rencontre et d’activités pédagogiques et tous les locaux techniques nécessaires à la conservation des oeuvres, le Trinkhall s’inscrit dans une nouvelle dynamique.
Designed by the Beguin-Massart architectural firm, the building, covered with an opaline mesh with gently rounded contours, sits like a lantern in the heart of the city. It is the culmination of a reflection in which the architects knew how to meet the poetics of the place, its history, its beauty, and all the functional requirements of a museum today. With more than 600 m2 of exhibition space, a bookstore space, a documentation center, a meeting space and educational activities and all the technical rooms necessary for the conservation of works, the Trinkhall is part of a new dynamic .
Built for the “Ultimate Tree House” category of the MOCathalon. I’ve always wanted to build a tree house, so this was a very fun category for me, though still a bit tricky at times. The tree house features a working crane, tire swing, rope bridge, and a full interior.
Inspired by Legopard's beautiful tree house: www.flickr.com/photos/legols/24125168792/in/faves-1300938...
Fun fact: This build used all of the green, bright green, and dark green leaves in our collection.
Billy’s magnificent tree house is the most popular hangout area for all the kids in his neighborhood.

Less than three months after emerging from the assembly plant in La Grange, Illinois, a Union Pacific a SD40-2 glides through North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 16, 1979.
UP 3569 was built by EMD in March 1979, and retired from the roster in January 2001.

Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg is a spectacular Model World featuring many Land- and Cityscapes from around the world containing model trains, moving cars, ships and even a fully functional airport with starting and landing planes.
All of this is meticulously handcrafted to the smallest Detail.
Please view the photos in full resolution to see all the little Details and Scenes.
Also make sure to visit this wonderful World, whenever you are in Hamburg.
They fly sooo fast when directly overhead..favored to close in on this one in the short instant available.

The Emperor is the only Silk Moth found in the UK. On emerging they quickly find a mate, lay eggs and then die. A highly functional but somewhat sad existence.
PURE PLAY, inspired by the setting sun, there is hardly any practical functionality in this behaviour of the wild geese. The end of the first March day this year.
Took my old E-M1 gen.1 with me, with stills on my mind. The camera has poor video, but the scene was irresistible.
Wild geese make a distinct sound and have a demeanour which is not always the same. I often hear them at night, when they fly in small groups low above my flat 25 m high. Then it's more like navigating, a kind of sound radar. Or encouraging each other. Yesterday evening (5 March) I was late coming back from the river shore, and the geese had been conspicuously calm for an hour... when I was at the middle of that big field, it was almost completely dark already. Camera already packed in my bag. Then something like exploded. The whole flock of around thousand wild geese put up a play for me. They suddenly burst into flight from the field on my right hand side and came right above my head over to the other side of the field where they landed. It was the sound of a thunder, all those huge wings flapping and the geese honking and calling. Like fff tutti of a large symphony orchestra. –Maybe I should take a sound recorder with me the next time... :)))
