In some plants, the generating region becomes so large that the usual symmetry is broken and a bilateral structure appears. This happens, eg, some cacti and commercial strawberries. Here, the left flower head of the dandelion is approximately radial, while the right one, with the beetle, is bilaterally symmetric. Such breaking of symmetry can be observed in many systems and produces eg trains of clouds or hexagons of rising oil in frying pans. It can be modeled mathematically.
In manchen Pflanzen wird die generative Region so groß, dass die radiäre Symmetrie bricht und bilaterale Strukturen entstehen. Das passiert zB in Kakteen oder in Erdbeeren. Hier ist der linke Blütenkopf des Löwenzahns in etwa radiärsymmetrisch, der rechte, mit dem Käfer, bilateral symmetrisch. Solche Symmetriebrüche können in vielen Systemen beobachtet werden und produzieren zB Wolkenmuster oder Hexagone in Pfannen, wo Öl von unten erhitzt wird. Das kann mathematisch modelliert werden.

06-august-2017: This is the END of one of the most intense heat waves af all times, concerning the hydrographic reservoir/watershed of North-Eastern Adriatic sea (45-46° Lat. North!).
The gust front (probably linked and dued to a Mesoscale Convective System/M.C.S. present more to the North) gives the first breath after 10 hot days on all these areas.
Around Trieste Gulf temperature touched 38°C in Trieste City (and in the night between 5 and 6 August the minimum temperature never fell below 30°C), 39°C in Grado City (GO) and in Cervignano del Friuli (UD), Italy, with some thermal peaks that reached 25°C to 850hpas (c.a. 1550m) in the free atmosphere!
Temperature values (45.5° North!) almost comparable to those of La Mecca/Mecca/Makkah (Saudi Arabia, 21.26° North!) in the same period!
On the Coastal Karst Region were 40.4°C in Podnanos (164m a.s.l., Vipava Valley/Valle del Vipacco, Slovenija; at the foot of Nanos mountain dewlap/chain): it is the FIRST TIME that Karst Region exceeds the temperature limit of 40.0 °C; it is an important RECORD in the climatic history of the Region and of the entire South-Western Slovenija.
About Croatia (the most affected by the inexorable african High-Pressure/HP): in Istra, 40-41°C have been reached in many of the internal locations (41°C in Buzet, for exemple!), while in the Kvarner coasts and Islands the 40°C burned the (...generally mild) town of Cres (Cres Island), 41°C in Crikvenica, 39 °C in Senj, 39°C in Bakar and Bakarac ... and many more!!!
For curiosity, the maximum temperature reached in Croatia, unofficially (Private weather station according to WMO), over three days, is +43°C of Golubić village (304m a.s.l.), within the central internal Dalmatia, not far from the border with Western Bosnia I Hercegovina (BiH).
All these locations (IT, SI, HR), from sea level up to 300-400m above sea, have normal maximum temperatures between 27°C and 31 °C, and minimum temperatures between 16°C and 22°C, at this time.
Water rushes in between the rows of flysch rocks at Barrika Beach, Basque region, on the northern coast of Spain.
I was visiting my sister in Italy and had planned on taking a few days to photograph the Dolomites, but the weather did not cooperate with a forecast for overcast skies and rain throughout the week. I decided to fly to Madrid and drive five hours north to Barrika. The weather forecast for that area was much better and more importantly the tide tables showed that during that week the low tide would roughly coincide with sunrise and sunset.
I had never been there and was a bit worried about making the long trip and coming back empty handed but it turned out to be an amazing location for photography and I had a great time shooting there for three days. Because of the cold weather and because part of the stairs that lead down to the beach had been washed out by a storm, I had the beach largely to myself. Most of the time it was just me and a couple of surfers.
Besides the slippery rocks what made it most challenging was how quickly the tide level changes. The beach is very flat so the amount of time during which the ocean is flowing in between the rocks is quite short. Most of the time the rocks are either fully exposed or covered by the water. I was lucky not to lose my camera on the first day when a larger wave came rushing in.
I hope to have a chance to visit this beautiful region again one day.

Ankaramena (Madagascar) - Vue de la rue principale de la commune d’Ankaramena. Deux fois par semaine les marchés aux zébus et aux légumes attirent de nombreux agriculteurs de la région d’Anosy. Ce gros village qui fait partie du district de Fort-Dauphin (Taolagnaro en malgache) compte plus de 14.000 habitants dont la grande majorité tire sa subsistance de l’agriculture avec la production de riz, de patates douces et du manioc. La mer n’étant pas très éloignée 8% de la population tire l’essentiel de ses ressources de la pêche.

Ankaramena (Madagascar) - View of the main street of the commune of Ankaramena. Twice a week the zebu and vegetable markets attract many people from the Anosy region. This large village which is part of the Fort-Dauphin district (Taolagnaro in Malagasy) has more than 14,000 inhabitants, the vast majority of whom earn their livelihood from agriculture with the production of rice, sweet potatoes and cassava. Since the sea is not very far away, 8% of the population derives most of its resources from fishing.
The planes which cross incessantly in the sky and whose continuous jet increases a little more each year, can be a good pretext to find the right image at the right time.
-----------------------
Les avions qui croisent sans cesse dans le ciel et dont le jet continu s'accroît un peu plus chaque année, peut être un bon prétexte à trouver la bonne image au bon moment.

This lost road in East Kazakhstan was built over a century ago after WWI by captive Austrian soldiers to reinforce the border of then Russian Empire. It is not mapped and officially not in service, but being built for centuries, still passable by offroad vehicles providing a shortcut between Katon Karagay area and Markakol lake through the picturesque mountain pass and valleys.

The Georgian nobleman Alexander Chavchavadze (1786-1846) was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, where his father was an ambassador of King Erekle II (ruled 1762-1798), of the Georgian region of Kartli-Kakheti. In 1801 the Russian Tsar Alexander I annexed Georgia. Chavchavadze served in the Russian Imperial Army during wars against the Persians, the Ottomans, and during the War of the Sixth Coalition (1812-1814) which resulted in the defeat of Napoleon and his receiving the French Legion of Honor. Despite this, he longed for Georgian independence and in 1832, participated in a failed conspiracy to end Russian rule. Nevertheless, he was forgiven, promoted to lieutenant general and in 1841, commanded a successful campaign against a rebellion in the Russian Republic of Dagestan. He met an accidental death on 06 November 1846, and was buried at the New Shuamta Monastery. He is revered not for his military career, but as a man of letters and is considered to be the father of Georgian Romanticism. His estate inludes: His house seen here, now a museum; A winery; And beautiful forested gardens. The estate is located in Tsinandali, some 108 km by road east-northeast of Tbilisi in the Kakheti Region, Georgia.
Aosta is the principal city of Aosta Valley, a bilingual region in the Italian Alps, 110 km (68 mi) north-northwest of Turin.

Banff National Park is in the Alberta Rockies region of Alberta, Canada. Together with six other national parks it makes up the UNESCO World Heritage site"Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks".
Peyto Lake is a glacier-fed lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The lake itself is easily accessible from the Icefields Parkway. It was named for Bill Peyto, an early trail guide and trapper in the Banff area.
The lake is formed in a valley of the Waputik Range at an elevation of 1,860 m (6,100 ft).
During the summer, significant amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake from a nearby glacier, and these suspended rock particles are what give the lake a unique bright, turquoise colour.
Why is the lake so blue (turquoise)?
The junction of the stream, the lake and the delta is the clue.
Water leaving the glacier is muddy with rocks, gravel and silt. As the stream slows down most of the rubble is left behind to become delta. Silt flows into the icy water where most of it sinks to the bottom. Fine particle of rock ground to the texture of baking flour do remain suspended in the water. This “rock flour” scatters the blue-green rays of the sun-light, giving the lake its special blue-turquoise color.
The lake is fed by Peyto Creek, just seen on the left side of this pic, which drains water from Caldron Lake and Peyto Glacier (part of the Wapta Icefield) and Peyto Lake is the origin of the Mistaya River, which heads northwest from the lake's outflow.
