Even Lark thought it was too cold this morning. And it was. I think if it's in the thirties in South Florida, it's too cold to be outside.
BTW the great texture in this shot is thanks to this wonderful Flickr member:
This is a single Magic-Cube consits of 12 individual Pyramids. Each one connected on two sides and carrying rare-earth magnets to help stabilize the major structures. A single Cube has 36 magnets. There are 5 major shapes that will „fall into place“, meaning the magnets will pull it together and no hinge is left flexible. As a toy the Cube posesses the challenge of a Riddle to unlock the different Shapes or to find the paths of shortest movement between them. As Art it can be left Standing, or with the supplied Wallmount, be displayed as a hanging Object. The beauty of this dissection, displayed in Numbers, are the different sidelengths of a Single Pyramid. Namely: One, Sqareroot of Two and Half Squareroot of Three.

The geometric wall accents and rectangular columns echo the city’s iconic urban grid, while the balcony with its elegant railing offers a vantage point to appreciate the atrium’s grandeur.

Historically, the Fisher Atrium stands as a testament to San Francisco’s evolution. It captures the essence of a city that is constantly reinventing itself, yet remains deeply rooted in its past. This space is not just a functional area but a landmark that tells the story of San Francisco’s architectural journey.

A series of patterns to be printed on medical grade masks commissioned by a medical professional to be distributed at no cost for those who need.
Captured yesterday when walking from the Salsa Restaurant in Port Douglas. The play of light and shadow instinctively made me grab for the camera and thought...ah this is what my friend
Werner would capture.
So, I've been trying to make this pic for a while, but now that the film lyrics for "Let It Go" *finally* came out, I was able to get some inspiration.
This is my Queen Elsa doll (Disney Store) standing atop. . .a "mountain top" (my bed =P) made of white bed sheets, tissue paper, and a geometric floor pattern hand drawn by yours truly. ^.^
The Psychology of how color relates to the body and mind outlines that a child's brain is stimulated more by the black and white contrast than that of color.
Therefore a brightly colored newborn baby's room may need a 'black and white' infusion integrated in the design!
So is it color psychology or eye spectrum discrimination?
Sir Isaac Newton demonstrated that light travels in waves, when he shone white light through a triangular prism and the different wavelengths refracted at different angles, enabling him to see the colors of the rainbow (the spectrum).
When light strikes any colored object, the object will absorb only the wavelengths that exactly match its own atomic structure and reflect the rest - which is what we see.
When light strikes the human eye, the wavelengths do so in different ways ultimately influencing our perceptions, then in the eye's retina they are converted into electrical impulses that pass to the hypothalamus (the part of the brain governing our hormones and our endocrine system).
As we interact in our color speckled modern world, although we are unaware of it, our eyes and our bodies are constantly adapting to these wavelengths of light.

The Hyatt Regency San Francisco Embarcadero is not just a hotel; it’s an architectural landmark. Completed in 1973, this iconic building was designed by renowned architect John Portman. The highlight? Its jaw-dropping atrium, which, for a time, held the record as the world’s largest. The soaring space features geometric lines and futuristic design elements, drawing you into a scene that feels both grand and intimate. This atrium became a symbol of Portman’s signature style, integrating sweeping internal vistas with functional luxury, and has been featured in numerous films, including High Anxiety and The Towering Inferno.
The atrium is a visual feast, with its glass-walled elevators offering panoramic views of the space and beyond to the San Francisco waterfront. A playful mix of natural light and shadow dances across the interior throughout the day, giving guests a new experience every time they look up. The expansive openness of the atrium reflects the optimism of the early 1970s, blending brutalist architecture with modern aesthetics in a way that still feels contemporary.
Beyond its striking design, the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero is also celebrated for its prime location at the foot of Market Street, steps from the Ferry Building and the iconic Embarcadero waterfront. It’s a favorite spot for both travelers and architecture aficionados alike, offering not only stylish accommodations but also a living piece of San Francisco’s design history.
For those with a love of unique spaces and bold architectural statements, the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero’s atrium is a must-see, representing the best of 20th-century innovation in hospitality design.

I saw this geometric design on a cake by Sweet Picasso and spent a week trying to figure out how she did it. I then bought the impression mat and tried it out.
