NEMO Science Museum
The green Nemo building
NEMO Science Museum (from latin Nobody) is a science center in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is located in the Oosterdokseiland neighborhood in the Amsterdam-Centrum borough, situated between the Oosterdokseiland and the Kattenburg. The museum has its origins in 1923, and is housed in a building designed by Renzo Piano since 1997. It contains five floors of hands-on science exhibitions and is the largest science center in the Netherlands.

For Looking Close...on Friday!'s #letters theme
Where would be without these letters? They define everything around us!
The periodic table: taken from "The Secret Life of the Periodic Table". Bought to try to stimulate my sons' interest in science...unfortunately, no visible obvious results as yet. But there's still time...
Sunset capture of Glasgow science center. Lovely drifting clouds and lovely colors at the western sky. Fantastic futuristic architecture.This one is shot against north east. Lee big stopper. Edit in silver Efex Pro 2. Spot removal and burning in PS.
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...

Opps, I had this in "Just a little bit" for Just a little bit of light but realized I didn't take it in the right timeframe. So I hope it works for "science."

The Roeterseiland Campus of the University of Amsterdam is an open city campus designed to offer future-proof teaching and research facilities. The Faculties of Economics and Business and Social and Behavioural Sciences are located at the Roeterseiland campus.

Right next to the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw, Poland one can find the Teatr Dramatyczny - the municipal theatre. The lighting makes for an interesting contrast between the theatre and the Palace of Culture and Science. The buildings a total height of 237 metres and is the second tallest in both Warsaw.
The fine greens of a perfectly maintained Japanese lawn go very well with the finest brutalism.

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.

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.
