Peeking around the trunk of the tree to see if I'm still there. Close to the telephone and cable wires that they use as a bridge between trees.
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.

Kentaro thought he was all that when he played peek-a-boo on US by popping up from behind the bassinet.

andrew was re-decorating, and snatched the icon painting and hung it up on the wall in the kitchen.
arranging the art hanging from the line, it peeks through to you as you come around the pillar.
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!
I thought I was taking a cool looking, somewhat abstract, shot of the Sundial Bridge in Redding, California. However, as I was taking it, I heard giggles and then noticed the two kids looking down at me.
You may have to look at the larger version to seek the kids...

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.

With the agricultural fair season approaching, I wanted to share this one. I took this photo with my digital camera back in the day before cell phones had cameras. We were at the barn bottle feeding our Jersey calves, when my 15 month old daughter went up to one to "talk" to her. The calf gave her a quick lick in the face. As luck would have it, just as my baby girl touched her now gooey face, and the calf had already retracted its tongue, the picture had been snapped. When I picked up my developed pictures this, to my surprise, is what I found and it has been a favorite of mine for the last 21 years. It looks as though they're playing peek-a-boo, but she was really just being greeted by her friendly little calf who wanted to say hello.
