Is it my imagination or is this guy playing peek-a-boo with me? Seen at Springfield Conservation Nature Center in Springfield, Missouri, USA on August 30, 2013.
Peek & Cloppenburg Flagship Store, Vienna, Austria
The new Peek & Cloppenburg flagship store will be located on Kärtner Strasse, between
Johannesgasse and Himmelpfortgasse, in Vienna’s historic centre, a district protected as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The starting point for the design was the idea of a “building with windows” – a modern, abstract
interpretation of a classical building typology, which is not freestanding but part of the overriding
structure of the urban area. The building will assert itself as tectonically powerful, and
demonstrate a long-lasting and institutional character through the selection of its materials and
proportions, whilst remaining modest and above all becoming an integral part of the street
façade. The defining material for the façade is a light-coloured, finely pointed Danube Limestone
(Donaukalk) – a typical Viennese building material. The façade will be solidly built, corresponding
in its materiality and craftsmanship with the historic context.
The new building volume will close the urban block as a continuation of the neighbouring
buildings. In its rational structure the design ties in strongly with the tradition of late Viennese
department stores. The façade will subtly react to the structure of the neighbouring buildings.
The window proportions and the ratio between closed wall and openings will reflect the historic
neighbouring buildings. The otherwise recessed glass layer will be brought forward on the ground
floor, transforming the wall openings into display windows at street level. On the fourth floor, the
façade will open up to the city through a loggia.
The six sales levels will be accessed from the main entrance on Kärtner Strasse via a central
atrium, flooded by daylight. A translucent glass and bronze structure crowns the atrium in the
tradition of the large department stores of the 19
th
century, acting as a counterpoint to the sales
areas with its textile stock.

My second encounter with these tiny figures hanging from trees on temple courtyards in South India, this time in the first enclosure of the Menaskhi Amman Temple in Madurai.
Apparently, quoting Maduraikaaran Travels:
It is a general belief among a section of devout Hindus that if they tie a "baby doll in toy cradle" to the sacred tree that shelters some Hindu deities, the married couple will be blessed with a baby.
Thanks for the info!

Lightning peeking its way through the clouds south of Lexington, Missouri. I tried to chase the storm and get few shots of strikes, but no luck. Getting stuck in the torrential downpour on the drive back to Warrensburg was a little nerve-racking.

Peek, Frean & Co were established in 1857 in Bermondsey. Although still existing abroad, the firm ceased to operate in UK in 1989.
Paisley and I got to check out a new location today with my family! I was so excited to have a new canvas, although there wasn't much of anything other than tree stumps and leaves. Haha. I still like this photo though.
I have a quick question for those of you who are interested in helping me out. Is it better to shoot for your subject to be in the right exposure rather than the much larger and more distracting background? Because I got a few picture that I liked, but the background in the trees was pretty severely blown out even though Paisley was perfectly exposed and I'm not sure how I would got about fixing that.

This arctic fox had been an education animal at the zoo, but recently he's been placed in a habitat accessible to the public. For some reason, Kodiak became shy when Janice walked up. He's peeking at her from behind a rock.
