FlickrFriday this week is pyramid! This one is part of the architecture at Bluewater shopping centre in Kent. As it was a boring rainy day with grey nondescript sky, I decided to add some effects to cheer it all up.
Thanks for viewing 😀
The Pyramids of Giza - a previous shot of mine reprocessed in Black & White. I think I'll hang this one up.

This image shows the iconic Transamerica Pyramid captured during the evening blue hour/twilight. If I am not mistaken, it is the tallest building in San Francisco. You can see the golden gate bridge at the far left in the distant horizon.
Enjoy!

The view from Patricia Lake Bungalows, the lake is much narrower here and just a few minutes walk from the cabin. Jasper National Park
Jasper's Pyramid Lake bridge crossing to the island on the right. Beauty on both ends.
Thanks for taking a look!
Pyramid Lake was formed by the tears of Stone Mother, who had herself a tsunami-like cry after her husband "The Man" banished two of her children from the tribe for being class act brats. Her multi-day cry not only created the lake but eventually turned her to stone, thus her name "Stone Mother." Apparently, she's still sitting somewhere along the shore with her basket by her side. I saw none of that, but given my current state of mind, I think it's all quite plausible.

Color contributes to beauty, but it is not beauty. Color should have a minor part in the consideration of beauty, because it is not [color] but the structure that constitutes its essence.

It looks like an exceptional year for Pyramidal Orchids on the North Downs this year. I don't think that I've seen so many in bloom before.

At least, ...it was for several nights around the last Super bowl--- held at the San Francisco 49ers' football stadium down in Santa Clara.
Anyway, it used to be an old joke about the chances of the Transamerica Pyramid being illuminated in colored light, like the City Hall and Coit Tower are. But, the joke became reality when, while looking at one of the very handy live cams out there one night, I could tell there was something extra making the pyramid glow. The confusing part was how it changed off and on due to the web cam refreshing during different colors.
So, the thing to do was go down and see. It was great. I saw many photographers at every spot I shot from and many of my contacts from flickr took great images of something that may not happen again. I mean, that took some money.
Thanks for checking out the shot!
The pyramid - The iconic and unmistakeable pyramid profile of Stob Dearg commonly known as Buachaille Etive Mòr (the herdsman of Etive) reflected in the River Coupall. An incredibly dramatic and beautiful landscape, typifying the very best of what the Highlands has to offer; this distinctive mountain is irresistible in its charm in so many different ways.

Pyramidal Orchid / anacamptis pyramidal. Barnack Hills and Hollows, Cambridgeshire. 04/07/21.
'TRI-COLOURED BEAUTY.'
This tri-coloured Pyramidal Orchid caught my eye by standing out among the profusion of other orchids/wildflowers on site. Only 12cm tall and in near pristine condition, an absolute beauty!
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Taken back in July of last year. This was a very memorable day for me as I saw an awful lot is such a short amount of time.
Pyramid Peak reaches an elevation of 14,018 ft (4,273 m). Despite its height and rugged craggy top, it takes a back seat to its more famous cousins, the Maroon Bells. This was shot shortly before sunset at Maroon Lake, Colorado.
Happy Thursday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Marquge "covid " au sol, gardiens masqués semblant attendre désespérément des visiteurs... Non, ceux-ci ne boudent pas, l'accès au musée du Louvre se fait uniquement sur réservation, date et créneau horaire. Un contrôle est effectué avant ces chicanes : les visiteurs ne peuvent passer que quelques minutes avant l'heure indiquée sur leur billet. A savoir qu'il en est ainsi, en France, cet été, quasiment pour toute visite de musées, de monuments, de parcs d'attractions, zoos, jardins "payants", etc. Avantage : pas d'attente et des conditions de visite meilleures puisque les jauges imposées en raison du covid réduisent l'affluence. En revanche, un touriste peu organisé - ou sans Internet - risque d'avoir plus de mal à profiter de son séjour.
The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a large glass and metal pyramid designed by Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei. Located in the main courtyard of the Louvre Palace, it serves as the main entrance to the museum. Completed in 1989, it has become a landmark of the city of Paris.
Found at the main gate of Belvedere Palace, Vienna.
Six such pyramids adorn either side of the gate of Schloß Belvedere - twelve in all. A sacred number, and the pyramids are surely also no coincidence. Masons trace their origins and traditions back to the pyramid-builders of ancient Egypt.
