Also from my recent trip with Alfie, I was asked to take some shots in this location where a single opening between the train tracks allows a beam of light through... it can get some interesting effects (more to come)
So many things can have to be changed when switching hosting providers that sometimes code branching is the best answer (DUH). Here's my feeble attempt at trying to explain the process during one such move. This actually went on for months, with me merging privately and creating builds for testing. This was the final branching plan, once I knew everything would merge properly and I was asked to get everyone comfortable. This was sometime in 2002.

The Spanish Red variety. Since its (likely) introduction by the Spanish in the 16th C. this hearty pineapple grows wild in the Philippines and while less prized for its fruit than its larger cousin the Hawaiian, the Red has longer, stronger leaves which can be processed by hand to produce piña fibre and textiles.
The vision of HSB Turning Torso is based on a sculpture called Twisting Torso. In 1999 HSB Malmö’s former Managing Director Johnny Örbäck saw the sculpture in a brochure which presented Santiago Calatrava in connection with his contribution to the architectural competition for the Öresund Bridge.
It was on this occasion that Johnny Örbäck got the idea to build HSB Turning Torso. Shortly thereafter he travelled to Zurich to meet with Santiago Calatrava and ask him to design a residential building based on the idea of a structure of twisting cubes.
HSB Turning Torso is an amazing combination of sculpture and building. It is also one of the few landmarks in the world which becomes part of everyday life with its ten floors of offices, 147 apartments and meeting facilities on the two top floors.
Santiago Calatrava
The architect behind HSB Turning Torso is Santiago Calatrava. The Spaniard is one of the most fascinating architects of our time and is responsible for a number of fascinating projects.
Calatrava is a trained sculptor, architect and engineer and is among other things responsible for projects such as the Olympic Sports Complex in Athens and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub which is being built in connection with Ground Zero. He has also created several bridges, railway stations and air traffic control towers.
