Singapore Botanic Gardens are an oasis of natural beauty and tranquility in a highly urbanized city. The Gardens were established in 1859, and retain the same layout and historical buildings until today.
The Gardens are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and are a global center for plant research, development, and conservation. This was a key institution involved with the introduction of rubber trees in South East Asia, which became a major cash crop for the region.
The greening of Singapore is a direct result of the Gardens' efforts, which devoted their expertise and resources to transform Singapore into the Garden City that it has now become.
The National Orchid Garden has the world's largest display of orchids, and is part of Singapore Botanical Gardens' orchid breeding program, with a repository of one thousand species and two thousand hybrids.

Xylocopa (Latreille, 1802) in my garden. La Ceja, Colombia.
The species of the genus Xylocopa are big bees, robust, hairy, with coloration from black to blue or metallic green in females and yellow in males of many species.
The name “carpenter bees” is mainly associated to Xylocopini, because they excavate their galleries within hard and usually dead wood, excepting the palearctic subgenus Proxylocopa.
They arepolilectic bees, that is, they visit a great variety of plants. Their provisions consist of a compact and dry mixture of pollen.

Street and reportage photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Even more powerful an image if you know what this building actually was in the city. This is Dale House, the former centralised cash storage and counting facility for The Royal Bank of Scotland.
Old Car City exists as a decaying repository of the auto industry, lovingly neglected and open for viewing.

Old Car City
White, GA
Nov 2016
A lot of dilapidated country barns hold one man's junk and another man's treasure as evidenced by this failing structure that serves as a parking spot for an old pickup and a cream separator and if you dared to venture further there is probably more items inside. Older people hold memories of how things were in the past and the wise younger person quietly draws them out.
The telephone box is no longer functioning, but is kept in position for its decorative and historical value. There are plans for it to be the repository for a defibrillator, as it is in a central area, so it will once again be a valued resource for the village.
One of the notable landmarks in Washington DC is the Library of Congress, which is a vast repository of books and resources. The library is a great place for reading and research, with its impressive architecture and iconic dome.

Fairchild Garden is a repository for endangered plants from Madagascar. Without the garden's help, these extraordinary beauties would disappear from the Earth.
To meet the needs of these strange spiny visitors, Fairchild gardeners have modified the soil and mounded up tons of small stones to enhance drainage here in the tropics where we get many times more rain than in their native land.
Euphorbia viguieri grows in a single column form covered with medium-sized thorns that are thick at the base and get finer toward the end. They are white and sometimes serrated, making this one of the most dangerous-looking Euphorbias. The column is broader toward the top and may spiral slightly as it grows. The body is five to six sided and may have leaf scars from previous seasons' foliage. It can grow nearly 3 feet tall.
The tubular flowers are spectacular sunset colors in hues of orange, yellow and scarlet. Blooms are produced after a rainy period and are small flowers, measuring less than 1 inch. The flowers do not last long but do attract several pollinating insects with their sweet nectar. Euphorbia viguieri doesn't produce branches, so the flowers spring right from the body of the plant. The flowers open when the heat of the day is over or first thing in the morning and then close when the sun is at its peak.
Euphorbia viguieri goes dormant in the winter and loses its leaves. It will produce a new set in late spring and flower in summer. Many Euphorbia species only have spines and no leaves, but E. viguieri produces both. The leaves are lightly veined and simple, oval in shape and a lighter green than the body. The leaves can grow from 1 to 7 inches long. Extreme drought will also cause the plant to lose its leaves as a protective measure to prevent moisture loss.
Euphorbia viguieri thrives in nutrient-poor areas and is one of the few Euphorbia that may be found in mountainous regions where it tolerates excesses of water. It is also found in scrubland and open woodlands in western to southern Madagascar. The plant does best in an unglazed clay container as a house plant or can be part of a xeriscape garden.

37 612 and 37 606 head 7C20 07.56 Sellafield to Drigg Low Level Waste Repository Sidings having just left Sellafield. Certainly wasn't sure I had chosen the correct spot for this working and as, the much longer than usual, train approached I did wonder if it was going to fit. Thankfully it did with a little extra room for perspective correction. I did breathe a sigh of relief.
Glossy dragon in Pisa
This uses one of Paul Debevec's new high-res envirnonment maps (recently uploaded to his website) for lighting.
The glossiness is near the upper limit of what is usable with my renderer before noise due to lack of importance sampling becomes too obvious.
Note that the color of the dragon is actually a neutral grey, but there's a very warm orange light coming from behind!

6Z43, the 0510 Crewe Coal Sidings - Drigg (Low Level Waste Repository), top and tailed by 37607 and 37602 heads away from Silecroft on 27 February 2013.
The train consists of eight PFAs carrying low level nuclear waste from Winfrith, loaded in six half height (1.3m) and a couple of third height (0.86m) ISO containers. The third height boxes are for carrying dense heavy material like soil or rubble to ensure weight restrictions are met.
I originally posted a version of this with more of a brown cast (the brown grassland showing through the frost) hence the "desert" comments, as a response I've posted a slightly whiter version.
Appears to be the back of the Casa de la Guerra in Santa Barbara.

Repository for those papery things with words innit. Soon to be closed I reckon to help the council pay for 'other things'.
Anywise, this was a late afternoon grab shot in the current foggy gloom.
