Industry bisecting nature
(EN) The mountain range south of Ibi, positioned between Ibi and the descent to Alicante, is the Sierra del Menejador. It shelters the Fuente Roja Natural Park (a.k.a. 'Font Roja' in the local dialect) between the town of Ibi and small city of Alcoy. The highest peak is the Menejador summit at 1,356 metres, making it one of the most elevated peaks in Alicante. This mountain range is said to contain the best preserved mixed Mediterranean forest in the area. Fingers crossed that there aren't any fires or that they're kept to a minimum. There have been a few in nearby areas over the years.
(ES) La sierra situada al sur de Ibi, entre Ibi y la bajada a Alicante, es la Sierra del Menejador. Alberga el Parque Natural de la Fuente Roja (también conocido como «Font Roja» en el dialecto local) entre el pueblo de Ibi y la pequeña ciudad de Alcoy. El pico más alto es el Menejador, con 1.356 metros, una de las cumbres más elevadas del interior de la provincia de Alicante. Se dice que esta sierra contiene el bosque mediterráneo mixto mejor conservado de la zona. Crucemos los dedos para que no haya ningún incendio o para que se reduzcan al mínimo. En los últimos años, se han producido algunos en zonas cercanas.
This older residential complex had a facelift recently, with new windows, balconies, roof and a brightly coloured front door entry...making pizza deliveries a snap. ;-)

Chambers Creek Golf Course
University Place, Washington
at one time this other-worldly looking golf course, in University Place, Washington, was a sand-and-gravel quarry. These are some of the remnants of which there are about 10. I have no idea what their purpose was. When you are standing right there you really feel like you're in a sci fi movie!
The lovely sculpture of Pi in the National Botanic Gardens of Wales. It is such an iconic sculpture. I was hoping the contrail would reach land to make it even more geometric but sadly not!

A triangle and some rectangles that given the angle of the view, could almost be diamonds.

St Peter's Church at Heysham has been a place of Christian worship for over 1000 years. The oldest parts of the current building date from the 900s.
This carved stone appears to have been re-used from a previous building. I wonder what the design signifies.

The sun rises over San Francisco Bay, painting the sky in gradients of orange, pink, and deepening blue while the iconic shipyard cranes of Pier 70 stand in silhouette. This is the view that greeted generations of maritime workers arriving for early shifts—the industrial skyline that built America's Pacific naval power now transformed into one of the city's most evocative historic landmarks.
Those gantry cranes marching across the horizon are among the most recognizable structures at Pier 70. Their skeletal steel frameworks, designed for lifting massive ship components and machinery, create a rhythmic pattern against the colorful dawn sky. During World War II, cranes like these operated around the clock, hoisting steel plates, engines, and armaments onto vessels destined for the Pacific theater. The distinctive A-frame shape allowed them to straddle railway tracks that once crisscrossed the shipyard, moving materials from fabrication shops to drydocks with industrial efficiency.
The water catches and reflects the warm sunrise colors, creating a mirror image that doubles the visual impact. San Francisco Bay has always been central to the city's identity and economy—first as a Gold Rush gateway, then as a maritime and naval powerhouse, and now as a contested space where public access, environmental restoration, and development pressures collide. This particular stretch of waterfront, once closed to civilians for security and operational reasons, has gradually opened to public use as the shipyard's industrial functions wound down.
Sailboat masts visible on the left frame the scene, reminding us how this working waterfront has transitioned. Where cargo ships and naval vessels once dominated, recreational sailors now navigate these waters. It's a shift repeated across San Francisco's waterfront—from commercial and industrial uses toward residential, recreational, and mixed-use development. The tension between honoring maritime heritage and accommodating contemporary urban needs defines much of the conversation around places like Pier 70.
The composition itself emphasizes the scale and drama of industrial infrastructure. Silhouetting the cranes against the saturated sky transforms functional machinery into sculpture, their geometric forms creating visual interest through repetition and variation. The foreground remains in deep shadow, focusing attention on that brilliant horizon where industrial history meets natural beauty. This is the kind of view that makes San Francisco special—a city where working landscapes and stunning natural settings coexist, where you can witness both human ambition and environmental grandeur in a single frame.
For decades, these cranes represented economic vitality and American industrial might. Now they stand as monuments to a bygone era, preserved not for their utility but for their historical and aesthetic value. Their presence reminds us that San Francisco wasn't always a tech hub—it was a city built by people who worked with their hands, who built ships and loaded cargo, who operated cranes and welded steel. As the city transforms, these structures anchor us to that history.

I made these origami flowers and arranged them in a white square-shaped vase to use as a decorative ornament for my coffee table.

I love yellow! It’s one of my favorite colors, and my house is full of it. I even have a yellow room. But it took me all week to decide what to do for this theme! Too many choices, I guess.
