About 10,000 years ago, a star exploded and died here. The Helix Nebula, also known as the Helix or NGC 7293, is a large planetary nebula in the constellation Aquarius.
Karl Ludwig Harding, probably discovered it before 1824 and it is one of the closest objects to Earth among the planetary nebulae, about 700 light years from our Earth. Sixteen hours of exposure from El Sauce Observatory in Chile (TelescopeLive) and image processing with my interpretation of 178 raw images in PixInsight and PhotoShop.
Architecture in popular tourist resorts could seem dull, while at second look light, pattern or detail can be fascinating.

Radula of Helix pomatia (escargot or Roman snail)
Image shows a smal crop of the boundary of the radula.
Individual "teeth" are around 30 microns m in width.
The "tounge" of a snail is the only part, which is really hard (chitin). How else could they chop pieces from various plants etc.?
The radula of Helix pomatia contains around 40,000 (!) "teeth", acting together like a grater. Yet, no need to visit a dentist, since used "teeth" are continously replaced by new ones.

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.
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.
Every time you understand something, religion becomes less likely. Only with the discovery of the double helix and the ensuing genetic revolution have we had grounds for thinking that the powers held traditionally to be the exclusive property of the gods might one day be ours.

Helix is defined as a spiral form with constant radius.
In bright sunlight a second one comes for free.

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.
