This week's theme for Mosaic Montage Monday was Innovative. The Ford Thunderbird was an Innovative car in another time not all that long ago. HMMM!
Courtyard of Casa Batlló, a famous building in Barcelona, Spain, designed by the renowned architect Antoni Gaudi-. The lightwell is a fundamental part of the house, as it distributes the air and light that enter through the main skylight. Gaudí extended the patio to ensure that natural light would reach all of the rooms of the house. He also decorated it with tiles of different blue tones (with more intense colour in the upper part and lighter tiles at the bottom) in order to ensure the uniform distribution of the light. The blue ceramic tiles and flowing lines create a unique, almost underwater-like atmosphere.
Following this same logic, the upper windows are smaller and they become bigger as we descend (allowing more light to enter).
Casa Batlló is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

5Q57 Norwich to Derby Litchurch Lane. Class 755 FLIRT is a class of bi-mode multiple unit passenger train built by Stadler Rail for Greater Anglia. Part of the FLIRT (Fast Light Innovative Regional Train) modular train family, the trains first entered service on 29 July 2019 and are used on regional and local services throughout East Anglia, as well as some intercity services between Norwich and London. Seen here at Derby having arrived from Norwich under its own power and not a unit you would normally see around Derby.
Seen in the Castilian city of Segovia, Spain. I thought it was very innovative to be able to set up tables outside after all, even if the "ground conditions" don't really allow it :-).

Managed to catch the 1995-built "Cable Innovator" on a beautiful day. One of the largest cable ships today.
The innovative sanatorium-resort center "MriyaResort & SPA" is located in the picturesque village. Landslide 25 km from hospitable Yalta. This complex is truly the pearl of the Black Sea resort, as evidenced by the full compliance with international standards among hotels of this level. The main building of the hotel, made in the form of lotus petals, is distinguished by its uniqueness and is the most recognizable in the world, because it was designed by the very famous Norman Foster, an architect from Britain.
Инновационный санаторно-курортный центр «MriyaResort&SPA» находится в живописном с. Оползневое в 25 км от гостеприимной Ялты. Этот комплекс поистине является жемчужиной черноморского курорта, на что указывает полное соответствие международным стандартам среди отелей этого уровня. Выполненное в виде лепестков лотоса главное здание гостиницы отличается своей уникальностью и является самым узнаваемым в мире, ведь его дизайном занимался весьма известный Норманн Фостер – архитектор из Британии.
La Berceuse
-
My photographic version of the van Gogh painting "La Berceuse, portrait of Madame Roulin, december 1888" (Made after different versions as seen in the Kroller Muller museum, Otterloo and the Van Gogh museum, Amsterdam and the Metropolitan museum, New York).
-
The background is painted by Polina Mavrikaki, co-painter of the Loving Vincent movie.
-
How did I create this photo?
Apart from finding the right clothing and the chair, the biggest challenge was photographing everything correctly.
Why? Well, because Vincent painted Madame Roulin very much out of proportion. This was intented as he wrote to his brother Theo.
But with a specific lens and some photoshop I got it to a certain point it was photographically out of proportions enough for me.
-
The whole proces of researching, planning, finding the clothing, the chair and model, testing light set-ups and camera settings, shooting and post-processing in Photoshop, took me about four months.
-
Thanks to my dear wife Marcella for helping me find the clothing, props, lighting assistance and being the model this time!
Thanks to the hair specialist Linda Ineke.
Thanks to Polina Mavrikaki for painting the background.
Thanks to Leo Vas for post-processing in photoshop

It took us 15 minutes to open that bottle, using different tools. It was not a natural cork but rubber/plastic cork, really a challenge even for the electric drill :-)
Late September 2020 saw the innovative Showbus Flyby take place between Beaconsfield M40 Services and Oxford M40 Services at Wheatley. This involved a road run passing through High Wycombe, Stokenchurch and Thame with around 65 entrants making staggered starts from both locations.
I was fortunate to enjoy the occasion on board entrant B1256, White Bus of Winkfield Alexander Dennis Enviro200 MMC 65 YY69TLX.
My photos were taken throughout the day including our initial journey to Beaconsfield for the start of the road run.
An innovator brainstorming.

Seriously, don't Marvel at what you have, INVENT and INNOVATE something new.
Unless it sucks, like this whole new Flickr, then you're just being well... dumb.
But in all seriousness, if you take the old Flickr, cram it down into as tight of space as you can, push everything to the right, bury content in menus, and fill the space with un-intuitive icons...
You end up with a cramped, un-intuitive space with smaller photos. And that's the new Flickr.
I mean seriously? Why did you get rid of the Confirm/Undo buttons and replace them with Enter? Doesn't that just make things MORE confusing? Or is my photo description supposed to be as fluid as a chat box? And groups are under those two white boxes? Along with all my photos and my sets? And seriously, thank you for taking all the lists and turning them into iconed menus that are no longer listed alphabetically vertical which makes them, again, less intuitive. Oh. and thanks for replacing all the "follower & Group" icons older than 6 months with one of your silly cameras, that rocks too...
If I wasn't consider moving to 500px before, I am now...

Kubuswoningen, or cube houses, are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in The Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom in 1984. The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, and beside the Blaak Subway Station. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.
The houses contain three floors:
ground floor entrance
first floor with living room and open kitchen
second floor with two bedrooms and bathroom
top floor which is sometimes used as a small garden
The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
