This is a close-up photo of patterns in thin ice in a shallow channel beside the river. This image could be seen as being a visual metaphor illustrating the theme of the alien hybrid breeding program.

I definitely was not dressed up like this during this week when I was finishing up the first part of my course-work! 😉
Now it's back to grading exams in the morning and enjoying the weekend after lunch!
Hope you have a great weekend too (despite the circumstances).
It's so interesting what nature can do....I've never seen this kind of pattern made out of ice.
Mt. Seymour, North Vancouver.
I've bought the book "Die Form der Farben" after Marius posts some pics. I've starting with some simple pattern sketches.

Gilles Plains is a misnomer for a busy junction dominated on one corner with a large shopping complex. I avoid it and if I do go, I drive because the pedestrian experience is demanding and contrasts with the quiet streets that surround it.
This series is my attempt to stop and take it all in while on on a rare sojourn on foot.
I think this might be my favorite of the offset squares color variations.
I'm experimenting with color variations of the offset square pattern, as seen here.
I'm looking for a certain look, and I haven't found it yet, but I think I'm getting closer. I'm pretty limited in my color selection, for now, which is why everything is white, black, or dark red. :-)
The name of the brush used to make this pattern is "Eyeball." I have colorized this image to make it less jarring.
The Spanish Synagogue (Hebrew: בית הכנסת הספרדי, Czech: Španělská synagoga, German: die Spanische
Synagoge) is the newest synagogue in the area of the so-called Jewish Town, yet paradoxically, it was built at the place of the presumably oldest synagogue, Old School (also known as Altshul). The synagogue is built in Moorish Revival Style. Only a little park with a modern statue of famous Prague writer Franz Kafka (by Jaroslav Róna) lies between it and the church of Holy Spirit. Today, the Spanish Synagogue is administered by the Jewish Museum in Prague.
The Spanish Synagogue is not the first synagogue at the site. Before it there stood probably the oldest synagogue in Prague Jewish Town, Altschule. In the second half of 19th century, the capacity of the Altschule did not suffice. The modernist faction in the community, which renovated it in 1837 for the purpose of moderately reformed services, therefore decided to demolish the synagogue in 1867 and one year later it was replaced by the new, Spanish Synagogue. Its name presumably refers to the style in which it was built, Moorish Revival style, which was inspired by the art of Arabic period of Spanish history (this name was not always prevalent, in the beginnings it was usually called by German-speaking Jews Geistgasse-Tempel, i.e. Temple in Holy Spirit Street). The architectural plans were designed by Vojtěch Ignác Ullmann and Josef Niklas (an imposing interior decoration).
In 1935, a functionalistic building, designed by Karel Pecánek, was added to the synagogue. Till the Second World War it served to the Jewish Community as a hospital. The synagogue used the space of the new building as well; there was a vestibule and a winter oratory in it. Since 1935, the appearance of the synagogue remained essentially unchanged.
During the Second World War, confiscated properties of Czech Jewish Communities were stored in the synagogue, e.g. the furniture from other synagogues. Ten years after the war, the synagogue was handed over to the Jewish Museum and in 1958–1959 it was completely restored inside. In the following year an exposition of synagogue textiles was opened there. In the 1970s the building was neglected and after 1982 it remained closed. The restoration started only after the Velvet revolution. Completely restored to its former beauty, the synagogue was re-opened with a ceremony in 1998.
