In his work, sculptor and industrial designer Dries Kreijkamp (1937-2014) has focused on the spherical form for some time. He considers round shapes as the most seminal and natural accommodation, both for people and for animals. In 1980, he designed the spherical houses. The spherical houses, built in 1984, have a self-supporting outer wall, constructed with the building material (Polymer) Fibreglass Reinforced Cement developed by DSM.
The spherical houses built in 's-Hertogenbosch are the smallest model designed by Dries Kreijkamp. They are intended for single people or couples without children. The model has a generous interior diameter of 5.5 meters and, with 124 m³ contents, the "Bossche Bollen" offer a total floor space of 55m².
The storage area and central heating installation with heat recovery unit are incorporated in the cylinder-shaped base of the spherical house. A spiral staircase leads to the bedroom and slightly higher, on an intermediate floor, to the shower and toilet area. The widest half of the sphere mainly consists of the living area with open kitchen. Four round pivot windows, each with a cross-section of 1.20 meters, look out onto the surrounding area. To allow for an optimum incidence of light, the windows face southeast.
In 2009, Dries Kreijkamp was asked to prepare a design for sheds in a similar style to the spherical houses. These sheds were manufactured in 2010 and are constructed in fibre-reinforced polyester duplex sheet material with a PUR core.

I first saw a description of spherical fractals in a blog by Samuel Monnier (algorithmic-worlds.net/blog/blog.php?Post=20120316). These Juliasets are constructed using Möbius-transforms. They fit naturally on a sphere. Here I've depicted them on a plane, together with their stereographic projection onto a Riemann sphere.
A nice, interesting abstract or just a load of balls? Today's blog posts asks what the role of social networking is if you're a photographer - is it all a diversion from doing the job? Go give your opinion over here: bit.ly/xZr22v

I swear that this one is the absolute last of these gimmick-shots! :)

These tiny spheres are zeolite crystals that act as catalysts to speed up the chemical reaction in the production of amines.

Some people hate this lamp and others like me love it. Maybe because it reminded me one of the paintings by M.C. Escher. Whatever. I liked it and hung it. Yesterday I decided to play with the flash and create a spherical projection of my domestic microcosm. I find the result quite funny.
Es una lámpara que no deja indiferente. A algunos les parece hortera y a otros nos encanta. Tal vez sea porque me gusta M.C. Escher y me recuerda a uno de sus dibujos. ¡Qué más da! Me gustó y la colgué, y ayer aproveché para hacer pruebas con el flash y crear una proyección de mi microcosmos doméstico. El resultado me pareció simpático...
La bola espejo (mirror ball) has sido creada por Tom Dixon, un diseñador tunecino, radicado en Londres, que trabaja por todo el mundo proponiendo interiores, instalaciones y elaborando mesas, sillas y lámparas.

My husband plays pool almost every Sunday with one of the men from church. I cook lunch and they enjoy a game of pool. Just in case you are wondering about the shadows. There is a three light fixture hanging above the table, thus the three shadow of varying shades.

Some sample portraits with the spherical aberration control.
Filename shows the position of the SA control ring.
Due to the autofocus starts to struggle a bit and is not 100% reliable when using the SA-Control, the results may not always be as sharp as possible.
A 360 degree spherical projection panorama compiled from 25 iPhone X photographs (2 rows of portrait orientation photographs, 13 images on the bottom row and of 12 on the top row).
The result is a very detailed image with a fascinating perspective.

The Parc de la Villette is a park in Paris at the outer edge of the 19th arrondissement, bordering the Boulevard Périphérique (ring road around Paris) and the suburban department of Seine-Saint-Denis.
The park was designed by Bernard Tschumi, a French architect of Swiss origin, who built it from 1984 to 1987 on the site of the huge Parisian abattoirs (slaughterhouses which had been built in 1867 on the order of Napoleon III) and the national wholesale meat market, as part of an urban redevelopment project.
The park houses public facilities devoted to science and music, playgrounds for children, and thirty-five architectural follies. The park is the home to:
* Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie
* La Géode, an Omnimax domed theatre
