This is inspired from the movie Weird Science, definitely an 80's classic that I was addicted to watching!

Valencia is a bilingual city: Valencian and Spanish are the two official languages. Spanish is official in all of Spain, whereas Valencian is official in the Valencian Community. Despite distinct dialectal traits and political tension between Catalonia and Valencia, Catalan and Valencian are mutually intelligible and considered two varieties of the same language by the linguistic academies and governments of both regions, just under different names.
Blinded by science, I'm on the run
I'm not an appliance, don't turn me on
What's in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I'm on the run...

This was my submission to the Photography Scavenger Hunt for the word reaction! I used a simple kids' science experiment in a fancy glass! Anyone want an exotic drink

What do you think? Are they watching Nibiru?
I apologize everyone for not really being able to visit all your streams and comment on everyone's wonderful photos. Unfortunately i need to post and run again, going to dinner, then mini golfing. My sister, mom and dad and peanut are leaving tomorrow. I will miss them so MUCH!!!! :(
I will be returning to my 365 project tomorrow.
c-ya, <3, happy monday!
Pre-dawn photos of Valencia City of Arts and Sciences, I missed the blue hour in the evening because my flight from Sofia landed long after sunset, this place had been on my list of places to photograph for a long time, I tried to make the best of an early morning when some of the buildings were not directly lit. Flickr has been selecting the oddest photos to be on top lately. Anyway, more to come from this morning shoot session.
Wiki says:
The City of Arts and Sciences (Valencian: Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències; Spanish: Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) is an entertainment-based cultural and architectural complex in the city of Valencia, Spain. It is the most important modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia and one of the most relevant in Spain.
The City of Arts and Sciences is situated at the end of the former riverbed of the river Turia, which was drained and rerouted after a catastrophic flood in 1957. The old riverbed was turned into a picturesque sunken park.
Designed by Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela, the project underwent the first stages of construction in July 1996 and the finished "city" was inaugurated April 16, 1998 with the opening of L'Hemisfèric. The last great component of the City of Arts and Sciences, El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, was presented on October 9, 2005, Valencian Community Day.
Scale: field of view is approx. 25 cm by 15 cm.
This photo shows a cross-sectional view (a roughly planar surface perpendicular to the originally flat sedimentary bedding/layering). The reddish-brown (oxidized, rusty) vertical linear structures are the fossilized impressions (casts, traces) of plant roots that grew downward into sandy soil (later buried and lithified into sandstone). Some of the root structures show downward branching: inverted V shapes or inverted Y shapes (the 'wishbone' shape near the upper right corner is the best-defined example of this). Preservation of the root structures is patchy and irregular in some places.
The original sedimentary bedding (flat to low-angle layering) is faintly visible in a few spots: near the upper left and lower right corners of the view, low-angle laminations (sloping down to the left) in the sandstone are the internal micro-layering of preserved ripple structures. To recognize such subtle details, it helps to have the 'expert eye' of a clastic sedimentologist, a type of geologist that specializes in this sort of thing.
This view of sedimentary geological details is from a boulder of Paskapoo Formation sandstone (Early Tertiary age: ca. 60 million years old) that has been used as building stone at a site in south Calgary. Back in Early Tertiary time, sand and mud (later lithified into Paskapoo Fm. sandstone and shale) were deposited in and around rivers (in river channels, and on the floodplains adjacent to the main river channels) in what is now southern Alberta, and unsurprisingly, plants would have grown on the floodplain (overbank) areas, just as they do near rivers today.
See other examples of geological details in my "Paskapoo Fm. sandstone" and "Field geology: bedrock exposures" albums.

Fire was undoubtedly one of our earliest conquests of Nature. Probably science was born with the discovery of fire.
Paleolithic peoples used their technological innovations such as making tools and the use of fire to change their physical environment. By working together, they found a way to survive. In this case obviously Paleolithic peoples played a crucial role in human history.
