Theme "Birds" - My 22nd shot of 2015 for this 52 week group.
Messed around with the contrast and the blacks almost a reverse negative feel...........

The Pagoda was completed in 1762. The ten-storey octagonal structure is 163 ft high (nearly 50 m) at Kew Gardens London.
The Pagoda tapers, with successive floors from the first to the topmost being 1 ft less (30 cm) in diameter and height than the preceding one. The original building was very colourful; the roofs being covered with varnished iron plates, with a dragon on each corner. There were 80 dragons in all each carved from wood and gilded with real gold.
There have been several restorations, mainly to the roofs, but the original colours and the dragons have not been replaced, although the question of replica dragons was discussed in 1979.

From squares of kami.
Left one is from a regular octagonal twist, like in a bird-base, the others are semi-regular octagons ( Toledo star and a trisection of corner)
Again another box variation.
The lid is made with a octagonal star cross module.
And the base is made with the octagon cross module.

Thanks for looking! I appreciate feedback.
At the Octagonal Pool at NJ Botanical Gardens. Shot with infrared converted camera which gave the lovely tones to the foliage and the stark contrast of the fountain scupture.

A new black and white edit of a top down shot on the Markthalle Basel. Do you like this one better than the last? While Top-Down perspectives are more and more commonly found, I am still amazed how different the world looks like from this perspective. The dominating form of Markthalle is usually round: the giant half dome - but from this perspective this vanished completely, and you are greeted by a a beautiful octagon.
After writing a(nother) post about my continued affection for old filling stations, I was inspired—despite the weather—to return to Delaware and photograph a station we seem to only drive by at night.
Hubby's long hours on the project at work mean I can't pick & choose best times, so please pardon the harsh shadows. Even so, she's a cutie and of course I stood here thinking about what else she could be. As usual.
Debra, this nice-looking station was built as a Linco around 1925, becoming a Marathon not long before the US entered the Second World War. I'm not sure how long it has been empty, who owns it, or what will happen—but it's so charming, I really hope it is somehow brought back to life.
Octagon, Ely Cathedral, Cambridgeshire, 12 May 2015
In 1322 the Norman crossing tower collapsed. Rebuilding was in the form of a much enlarged octagon. The sacrist, Alan of Walsingham, was in charge of the building work and he designed the octagon. Building work was completed in about 1340.
It was restored in mid-Victorian times by George Gilbert Scott.
A rare and well taken care of old octagon shaped barn. 1883 is painted on it and I have no reason to believe it wasn't erected in that year. Round barns are rare but this is the first octagon shaped barn I have come across. Somewhere in south eastern Iowa.
As a general rule, it's impossible to connect the sides of a regular polygon to its center in a legal way, since the apothem is always irrational (with the exception of the 4-sided polygon: a square). However, you can get pretty close sometimes, in fact close enough to work well. As this octagon of sides 5 shows. Other side lengths don't work at all (except multiples of 5). Other numbers of corners also don't work unless you are lucky.
Liège is the center of the largest Walloon agglomeration, and the cultural center of the Walloon region of Belgium. The city, with a population of about 200.000, is located at the confluence of the Ourthe and Meuse rivers.
Around 705, Saint Lambert of Maastricht is credited with completing the Christianization of the region, but conversion may still not have been quite universal, since Lambert was murdered in Liège. To enshrine his relics, the successor, Hubertus (later St. Hubert), built a basilica which became the nucleus of the city.
In 1468, following an uprising of the inhabitants against Burgundian rule, xof Burgundy had the city plundered and systematically destroyed. The few survivors who had fled into the forests—Charles the Bold allegedly had more than 5,000 inhabitants murdered—were only able to return to the city for reconstruction after seven years.
In 1789, partly in connection with the French Revolution, the Liège Revolution occurred. It was directed against the absolutist rule of the Prince-Bishop and was crushed in early 1791 by troops commissioned by the Holy Roman Empire. In 1795, Liège was occupied by French troops and became part of the First French Republic. The Congress of Vienna annexed it to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which in 1830 became the Kingdom of Belgium, to which Liège has belonged ever since.
The Collegiate Church of St. John the Evangelist was founded as a collegiate church by Notker of Liège around 980, and consecrated in 987. The church was a kind of replica of Charlemagne's Aachen Cathedral. It was suppressed in 1797 during the French Revolution, the building being confiscated and sold in 1798.
The center, originally an octagonal building in Mosan Romanesque style, incorporating elements of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the church was completely rebuilt in a late Baroque style in 1754–1784. It has been in use as a parish church since 1809.
The church is currently being restored.

The busts, which are in three of the lunettes that surround the inside of the dome, probably depict George I and two emblematic female figures representing the land and the sea.
Fine Roman baroque interior with plaster figures on pediments of fireplace and doors and busts in round niches above by Guiseppe Artan and Giovanni Bagutti.
Grade I listed. All that survives of Orleans House is the Octagon Room (with its adjoining service wing); the rest having been demolished in 1927.
Orleans House was built in 1710 for James Johnston, Queen Anne's Secretary of State for Scotland. Louis Philippe lived here 1800-14 and 1815-17.
In 1720 Johnston employed James Gibbs to add the Octagon for the entertainment of Queen Caroline (George II's wife).
The Octagon. Dunedin, New Zealand. We called in here for refreshment while it was raining. It happened to be graduation day so there were many students around in cap and gown.
Eric came down on Wednesday and we drove over to Laguna Beach for lunch

I folded Melisande's hexagonal star box www.flickr.com/photos/melisande-origami/12564522074/ and www.flickr.com/photos/melisande-origami/72020014 from an octagon. It also looks pretty good in a single color. Pacon neon construction paper - clearly not the greatest origami paper in the world, but it's cheap and sturdy, albeit on the thick side. Good substitute for duo if your model is simple and you don't mind the neon colors.
