HMM to all participants!

Did you ever had a chance to see the backside of a leaf of the beautiful Victoria Amazonica? Such an impressive pattern...

An attempt to make a shot of the whole frontside of the staircase of the Academie voor Muziek, Woord en Dans (Academy for Music, Word and Dance) in Mortsel (Belgium), I had to hold my camera this way ;-)

In 'Blueprint' you can see the "normal" position ;-))

a show just for us, over the mountains near Tromso, happy Sunday!

There are about 500 species in Australia with about half of them yet undescribed.

I found these very hard to photograph because of their shiny shell, lots of reflections. In my Australian Woolly Bush!

From the archives ... a photo from years ago taken in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada. I think it's a Japanese maple but I will happily stand corrected if someone knows better.

Some kindred spirits are in the first comment box.

Italy

We went to Italy in May 2015, stayed in the Cavour area of Rome. A fantastic holiday, the food was terrific, the people very helpful, brilliant architecture and sculpture. I was in my element. This is the third of three postings. But there will be more postings later, and we did go back.

Monzogranite Rock is formed when molten liquid, heated by the continuous movement of Earth's crust, seeps upward and cools while still below the surface. This plutonic intrusion yields a granitic rock called monzogranite. Monzogranite is often distinguished by rectangular joints.

Wind playing with sand creating each day a new pattern.

“As people, we love pattern. But interrupted pattern is more interesting.” - Jay Maisel

We have had several days of blue skies and warm afternoon light, so we did a lot of walking on the beach. With no snow, we saw many patterns in the sand. I took my time to look for something interesting while soaking up the sun. Now we are under another winter storm warning. It is a good time to sit at the computer again and share some of my beach scenes. Even our weather is going through a series of interrupted patterns this winter.

The "Super Moon" will be full tomorrow night and will be closer to earth than any time since 1948. As the forecast for tomorrow is not great, here is what an almost full moon looks like tonight. It won't come this close again until 25 November 2035.

In the El Valle de la Lune, even the cactus try to astonish us with its extravaganca.
