A refresher.
Keep your sense of proportion by regularly, preferably daily,
visiting the natural world.

Up above Peso de Rêgua, the dammed water of the Douro River runs slowly, proportioning some wonderful reflections.
Auschwitz II-Birkenau gatehouse; the train track, in operation May–October 1944, led directly to the gas chambers.
Birkenau was the largest of the more than 40 camps and sub-camps that made up the Auschwitz complex. During its three years of operation, it had a range of functions. When construction began in October 1941, it was supposed to be a camp for 125 thousand prisoners of war. It opened as a branch of Auschwitz in March 1942, and served at the same time as a center for the extermination of the Jews. In its final phase, from 1944, it also became a place where prisoners were concentrated before being transferred to labor in German industry in the depths of the Third Reich.
The majority—probably about 90%—of the victims of Auschwitz Concentration Camp died in Birkenau. This means approximately a million people. The majority, more than nine out of every ten, were Jews. A large proportion of the more than 70 thousand Poles who died or were killed in the Auschwitz complex perished in Birkenau. So did approximately 20 thousand Roma and Sinti, in addition to Soviet POWs and prisoners of other nationalities.
When I travel in fantasy,
the mind finally free,
Begins exploring the space
among the multiverse
discovering passages and
and mysteries hidden to closed eyes
New fantastic worlds
Where everything seems possible
Where all is harmony
Known objects
Seem to have a dimension of their own
And coexist with the inverse of proportion
This is what my
Mind sees when I leave
Guidance to the imagination...
The back took the largest proportion of time to make as I wanted to have contrast in the build where the casing is smooth and the back has the grebeling. I also wanted to add chemical canisters/containers hanging of the back to give it that industrial look. On the left the main structure kinda looks like a PC cus of the shape and ventilation hahaha but its intended :)
Build made with Bricklink Studio 2.0 with existing parts and image enhanced and edited in Photoshop.
The handsomely-proportioned Short-legged Ground-roller (Brachypteracias leptosomus) belongs to yet another of Madagascar’s endemic bird families, Brachypteraciidae. Patchily distributed in the rainforests of eastern Madagascar, it is a seldom-seen species owing to its habit of perching completely still and quiet for long periods of time in the lower canopy. They feed on large insects and other invertebrates. Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar.
14 years in this tiny condo, 26 stories above Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta. And the sunsets never fail to illuminate the proportional beauty of the skyline. I love the proportion of earth to sky... blue to orange... and lights to building silhouettes.

The incredible Victoria Memorial is a vast, beautifully proportioned festival of white marble: think US Capitol meets Taj Mahal. It is situated in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, which was built between 1906 and 1921. It is dedicated to the memory of Queen Victoria (1819–1901) and is now a museum and tourist destination under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture. The Memorial lies on the Maidan (grounds) by the bank of the Hooghly River, near Jawaharlal Nehru Road.

What a cliff of mind blowing proportion New York is offering.
I'm a bit releaf it's behind us though. That means we're only getting closer to the next american canyon I'm going to share, one from last spring. From the pictures I'm just done editing. About 450 of them, from a 4 weeks trip when I would leave in the morning 10 minutes after I'd open my eyes until dark.
That means I'm probably going to unload the rest of the Texture chapter quicker to let the wide angle vibrations stretch theirs legs again.
I still might have the same amount left from last year in Iceland, when the night never showed up, also allowing me to stretch my legs and take pictures 24/7.
Not to mention anything else from everywhere else.
Anyway, I'm almost as glad to be back to share the load as I was gathering it.
Shofuso Japanese House and gardens were built in 1958 in 16th century style. It is located on the grounds of the Horticultural Center in the West Philadelphia section of Fairmount Park. The perfectly proportioned architecture of the main structure and adjoining tea house is enhanced by an ornamental garden and picturesque pond. Tours of the house are available and periodically there are special events offered including tea ceremonies, bonsai plant showings and more. Finding a cultural nugget like this so close to the city of Philadelphia is very unique and special and definitely needs to be checked out if you are looking for something a little different.
For more information on visiting Shofuso, check out Shofuso.com

Catch up soon...
Thanks for looking ... :-)
Tarlabaşı/Istanbul/Turkey
One of the biggest gentrification projects in the city...
located almost in the centre of the city, is a quirky, urban conundrum in the throes of a government gentrification drive. Officially, they are calling it a renewal programm – in reality, it’s a complete makeover and redevelopment, involving tearing down old structures, which are part of Istanbul’s architectural heritage, to make way for a new commercial zone, comprising shopping centres, malls and hotels.
Very large deckchairs, although not obviously so without the usual accessory of a human being. On the other hand, Portsmouth's cathedral is quite small by English cathedral standards.
Exact proportions in nature can be found in many flowers, including daisies. Resulting in the majority of daisies having 34, 55 or 89 petals i.e the Fibonacci sequence....so get counting!

A flock of migratory ducks settling down in their wintering abode with majestic wings stacked up in actions. This is one of their wintering sites in India for 3-4 months while their breeding sites are further northern countries of Europe; Russia, China, Mongolia etc. The great group in the picture includes Garganey (Spatula querquedula) in major proportion, Common Teal (Anas crecca), Ferruginous Duck (Aythya nyroca),Cotton Pygmy-goose (Nettapus coromandelianus), Eurasian Wigeon (Anas penelope),Northern Pintail (Anas acuta), Northern Shoveler (Spatula clypeata) and Gadwall (Anas strepera). Their typical marshland habitat for feeding and hiding place is beautifully depicted in this picture. Pics was taken from Purbasthali, West Bengal, India.
One of the keys to shooting Epic Landscape Photography is exalting the photograph's soul via golden ratio compositions, thusly wedding the photographic art to the divine proportion by which life itself was designed and exalted.

Greetings flickr friends! I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!

The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo!
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.
Ansel Adams is not only my favorite photographer, but he is one of the greatest photographers and artists of all time. And just like great artists including Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Picasso, Ansel used the golden ratio and divine proportions in his epic art.
Not so long ago I discovered golden regions in many of his famous public domain his 8x10 aspect ratio photographs. I call these golden harmony regions "regions of golden action" or "ROGA"S, as seen here:

And too, I created some videos highlighting Ansel's use of the golden harmonies. Enjoy!
