Pyramid Lake, Nevada The name of the lake comes from the impressive tufa formations nearby. The largest such formation, Anaho Island, is home to a large colony of American White Pelicans and is highly restricted for ecological reasons. Access to the Needles, another spectacular tufa formation at the northern end of the lake has also been restricted due to recent vandalism.[3]
Pyramid Lake is virtually a character in the classic novel of the Great Basin, The City of Trembling Leaves, by Walter Van Tilburg Clark. The region was also rendered beautifully in the semi-abstract landscapes of Robert Caples, Clark's friend and the model for the character Lawrence Black in the novel.
This lake has been featured as the background of the iPad, released by Apple in 2010.

Talacre, North Wales
A trip out with Richard to the dune system at Talacre where there’s always a good display of Marsh Orchids, Northern, Southern and Early, as well as Common Spotted Orchid and the inevitable hybrids.
There were plenty of Pyramidal Orchids in the dunes, and I thought this one was particularly pretty with the Sea Holly.
Hope you like it Joan, your type of photo I think
The Pyramid of Khafre was built to house the king Khafre, who was the son of Khufu, who built the Great Pyramid.
It's actually smaller than the Great Pyramid, but sits on higher bedrock, which makes it look taller.
It still retains part of its original casing of white limestone near the top.
It's attached to the Valley Temple and the Sphinx.
Great looking church somewhere in the wilds of Connemara

The Pyramid of Khufu or Cheops was constructed between 2580 and 2560 BCE. It is the largest pyramid in the world and was the tallest manmade structure for 3800 years.
I don't know who the kids are. I liked the idea of a portrait shot combined with that pyramid, and those kids happened to be staring at someone else with a camera (I assume their parents) at the time.
ZEN MAGNETS - Neodymium Magnetic Balls (@864) - Tri-Oval Sphere
Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v26m-9rO30s
This is made by inverting the Tri-Oval Pyramid base orientation to form 1/2 of the sphere.
This is also a variation of the same oval subunit used for the Monster Truck tire.
Complete = 2 x (4 x (3 x 36-ball Oval Subunit))
Invert the Tri-Oval Pyramid interior base using 4 Tri-Oval subunits to make the halves, then put the halves together..
Tri-Oval subunit construction:
1) Place 3 ovals in a row
2) Change direction to an arc by changing contact points
3) Flip the oval slightly upwards to make contact point 4 ball diamond.
4) Join the last side along the same points
5) Pinch together the slight gap left by the balls ... this will make the Tri-Oval complete and symmetric.
Oval Subunit construction:
1) Start out with a 36-ball hexagon
2) Fold the two flat 4-ball edges together
3) Fold the two single-ball tips together
4) Flip over ... should see Two 2-ball pairs sticking up
5) COOL Part! ... Take each of the Two 2-ball pairs and push them down towards the center towards each other one side at a time.
6) The 2-ball pairs should join at the Center forming a 4-ball square.
7) The surrounding area around the pair should spread out into a spread flattened dome shape.

This is the North site of the Pyramids in area of Meroe. The amazing thing about the pyramids here in Sudan compared to that of Giza in Egypt is not the size or the shape (Giza wins hands down in those catagories) but in its isolation. Besides Andy and I, there was virtually nobody else there save for some camel handlers trying to get us to ride at a premium.
You have the pyramids all to yourself rather than it being bizzare, it's actually quite fitting. Let us not forget that these are ancient burial site, tombs for pharaohs entering the afterlife, not cities bustling with people. It's like being in a cemetary paying homage to the dead. Imagine if your local graveyard was turned into a tourist attraction or something outlandish like a casino. Oh wait, that's already been done in Las Vegas. Silly me.

The Transamerica Pyramid is the tallest and most recognizable skyscraper in the San Francisco skyline.
Built on the location of the historic Montgomery Block, it has a structural height of 260 meters (853 ft) and contains 48 floors of retail and office space. Construction began in 1969 and finished in 1972. It is currently ranked as the 100th tallest building in the world. Transamerica moved their headquarters to the new building from across the street, where they used to be based in another pyramid-shaped building now occupied by the Church of Scientology of San Francisco.
The Pyramid Fountain in front of the Louvre on a summer’s day. The fountains were added to the famous museum in the 1st Arrondissement of Paris during the term of President François Mitterand, who had proposed a plan to renovate the building in 1983. This so-called Grand Louvre plan also included the building of the glass pyramids. Although the fountains were built for aesthetic purposes, they are sometimes used by overheated tourists to simply cool down a little. Furthermore, several videos can be found on YouTube featuring tourists balancing on the edge of the fountains and toppling over into the water. Luckily, the fountains are extremely shallow, so they can climb out easily again.
Pyramid monument (there's a swampy lake behind here) at the edge of the pool that the German and Soviet military personnel swam in. It's returned to nature (the pics of it in the old days looked really nice) and stuff.
Anyhow, the monument is dedicated to those who served here and died between WW1, WW2, and the soviet cold war eras.
Kummersdorf Germany, September 2006. These are all photos of an old german then soviet air base in Kummersdorf Germany. They're in the process of tearing it down to expand Shonefeld airport, near Berlin.
Most of these buildings were built during ww1 for training the German military. Then, as WW2 progresssed rocket research was done here in an attempt to come up with larger more powerful artilery shells, and then atomic weapons. Finally, when the scientists headed to the US and Russia, they started building artilery shells and training officers here.
After WW2, when the soviets moved in, the soviets had staging post for their troops, and started doing research on rockets for the space race. Somewhere in these pictures is a soviet explosive test area (it was a buried bunker with 35 foot thick concrete walls surrounding 10 foot thick steel bunker.) which was exploded and broke windows for over 3000 houses nearly a mile away.
