An October afternoon view through the Helix foot bridge towards the Puget Sound and Myrtle Edwards Park at the north end of the downtown Seattle waterfront.
At last a spiral staircase shot! I was beginning to feel like everyone else but me had at least one in their portfolio.

The City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia is a unique complex devoted to scientific and cultural dissemination which is made up of five main elements: the Hemisfèric, finished in 1995 (IMAX cinema and digital projections), the Umbracle (a landscaped vantage point and car park), the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum (an innovative centre of interactive science), the Oceanográfico (the largest aquarium in Europe with over 500 marine species) and the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía, (which takes care of the operatic programme). The Ágora gives the complex a multifunctional space. Along an axis of just under two kilometres that was formerly the bed of the River Turia, this complex promoted by the Generalitat Valenciana has striking and futuristical architecture, designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela – and an endless capacity for entertaining and stimulating the minds of its visitors. In its various buildings they can get to know different aspects of science, technology, nature, and art.
"The Pozzo di San Patrizio (English: "St. Patrick's Well") is a historic well in Orvieto, Umbria, central Italy. It was built by architect-engineer Antonio da Sangallo the Younger of Florence, between 1527 and 1537, at the behest of Pope Clement VII who had taken refuge at Orvieto during the sack of Rome in 1527 by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, and feared that the city's water supply would be insufficient in the event of a siege. The well was completed in 1537 during the papacy of Pope Paul III.
The name was inspired by medieval legends that St. Patrick's Purgatory in Ireland gave access down to Purgatory, indicating something very deep.
The architect-engineer Antonio da Sangallo the Younger surrounded the central well shaft with two spiral ramps in a double helix, accessed by two doors, which allowed mules to carry empty and full water vessels separately in downward and upward directions without obstruction. The cylindrical well is 53.15 metres (174.4 ft) deep with a base diameter of 13 metres (43 ft). There are 248 steps and 70 windows provide illumination."

Fire escape as a piece of craftmanship,
addition to my series Lines and planes.
It's about surprising compositions in the everyday, a special view of buildings, interiors ... lines made abstract.

Helix is defined as a spiral form with constant radius.
In bright sunlight a second one comes for free.
Welcomed to complement my series L&P: surprising compositions in the everyday, a special view of buildings, interiors ... lines made abstract.

I used a custom-made camera rotation tool (CRT) to shoot inside the interior of Helix Pedestrian Bridge. A single exposure with the lens cap replaced between each 90 degrees rotation.
Location: Helix Pedestrian Bridge, Myrtle Edwards Park in Seattle, WA
Le Helix Bridge est un pont piétonnier reliant Marina Center à Marina South dans la région de Marina Bay à Singapour.
Le pont comprend deux structures hélicoïdales qui agissent ensemble comme une poutre tubulaire pour résister aux charges de conception. Cet arrangement a été inspiré par la forme de la structure d'ADN. Les deux éléments en spirale sont maintenus par une série d'entretoises, ainsi que par des anneaux de renforcement, pour former une structure rigide.

I was invited to take photos of a big rocket launch by a space startup company in the Mojave Desert in California. On the way I did a lunch break at the Tehachapy Loop, where the Union Pacific Railroad track makes a 1,210-foot (370 m) diameter circle to gain height to go over the Tehachapi Pass. A long cargo train passes over itself going around the loop, which was constructed 1874 - 1876.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Flowering from September to November, Ivy (Hedera helix) is native and common throughout the British Isles. It is the only member of the Ivies family (Araliaceae). Ivy is one of only a few native evergreen plants in Britain. It’s a woody, fast-growing climber that can climb as high as 30 metres up trees, hedgebanks, rocks and walls. It also spreads to form a carpet on woodland floors.
I have had no luck this week to find an insect or co. to capture. I had to revert to a snapshot on my cell of a burgundy snail who was just taking a bath in my sisters garden.
Diese Woche hatte ich kein Glück ein Insekt or dergleichen zu fotografieren. Darum musste ich auf einen Handy Schnappschuss zurückgreifen. Es zeigt eine Weinbergschnecke die gerade ein Bad im Garten meiner Schwester nimmt.
Helix Nebula
La nebulosa Elica (nota anche come NGC 7293) è una delle nebulose planetarie più vicine alla Terra. Si trova infatti a 650 anni luce dalla Terra nella costellazione dell'Aquario. È stata scoperta da Karl Ludwig Harding prima del 1824.
Ha un aspetto molto simile alla nebulosa Anello. È anche simile per dimensione, età e caratteristiche fisiche alla nebulosa Manubrio; le significative differenze nell'aspetto sono conseguenza della relativa vicinanza e del diverso angolo da cui la si osserva. (Fonte Wiki)

Out and about in the Warnham Nature Reserve it is no all flower, birds and animals - there are a few works of art there to be found and this time it is the Tri-Helix .
The second of Will Nash’s art installations for the ‘Field Notes from Warnham’ project for Horsham District Year of Culture 2019 has now been completed, again built with the help of volunteers.
This is a wooden structure which takes its inspiration from the incredible shapes of diatoms that can be found in the microscopic world.
In the first comment box you can see a sign board near to the installation .

Singapur tiene algunos de los elementos arquitectónicos más bonitos e impresionantes del mundo.
En primer plano en el lado izquierdo se ve el "Puente del ADN". Es un puente peatonal en forma de curva que permite atravesar desde la parte de la Marina Bay más próxima al Singapore Flyer hasta la zona del Marina Bay Sands Hotel. El puente recibe su nombre de la doble hélice que representan las dos espirales de acero que lo estructuran, recordando a la estructura del ADN. En el suelo se puede apreciar luces verdes y rojas. El par de letras c y g son iluminadas de verde y el par a y t iluminados en color rojo. Representan las iniciales de las cuatro bases del ADN, citosina y guanina, adenina y timina.
Al fondo el imponente Hotel Marina Bay Sands uno de los edificios más emblemáticos de Singapur.
En el lado derecho con forma de flor de Loto, el Museo de Arte y Ciencia de Marina Bay Sands.
