A striking, high-contrast image of zebra succulents (Haworthiopsis attenuata) showcasing their pointed leaves and unique striped patterns in dramatic lighting. This artistic close-up captures the intricate details and bold textures of the succulent, creating an intense and almost surreal effect.
This photograph is taken inside the main building of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, first floor, with the camera pointed straight upwards into the ceiling structure.
What is normally overlooked becomes the subject: light, grid, repetition and geometry.
Stripped of context, the ceiling transforms into an abstract composition — a disciplined matrix of squares, lines and glowing points. Blue light punctuates the darker structure, creating rhythm and depth, while the strict geometry introduces a sense of order and control.
It is architectural design seen not as function, but as form — a reminder that abstraction often already exists around us, waiting only for a shift in perspective.
Fun fact: Looking straight up removes spatial orientation and depth cues, making architectural photography behave more like abstract art — the brain reads pattern before place.
In 1868, British police first manually used red and green gas lights to control horse carriage traffic at night outside the House of Commons. According to Washington State University Magazine, the Americans then contributed the following:
"American policeman Lester Wire designed the first electric traffic light. It was first installed in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 5, 1914, at the corner of 105th and Euclid Avenue.
1917 — First interconnected traffic signal system installed in Salt Lake City, with six connected intersections controlled simultaneously from a manual switch.
1920 — William Potts, a Detroit policeman, invented the first four-way and three-colored traffic lights. He introduced yellow lights to indicate the light would change soon. Detroit became the first city to implement the four-way and three-colored traffic lights."

I tried to create an inverted image of "geometry", so I placed the cube on a piece of black cloth. I think I got pretty close.
