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...
So, the season premiere of the Flash Season 3 sucked, but episode two gives me a bit more hope that this will be different from Arrow Season 3. But, we can only hope.

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.
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.
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."
A nice trio of NASA test aircraft performing a fly past at Edwards AFB. The F-15 in this mix is actually the oldest flying F-15 out there.

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.
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
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(Wikipedia)

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.
Erlenmeyer: recipient de vidre que s'utilitza en els laboratoris, te forma de con i te un coll cilÃndric, és pla per la base. S'utilitza per escalfar lÃquids quan hi ha perill de pèrdua per evaporació o com a titular en l'anà lisi quantitativa (Viquipèdia).
Erlenmeyer: type of instrument which features a flat, conical body, and a cylindrical neck (Wikipedia).
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.
