Using open-source data on the topography of Venus, I changed a flat (hollow) sphere into a model of Venus. I then added raised images of 4 different dragons evenly spaced across the surface. I 3d printed the object using white PLA filament. It doesn't look like much when the light is turned off: just a lumpy white ball. But when the light comes on the imagery reveals itself.
In the north of ‘s-Hertogenbosch (The Netherlands) in the Maaspoort district, you will find fifty sphere houses with their striking architecture. The spherical house was designed by the sculptor, designer and architect Dries Kreijkamp born in 1937 in Tegelen. After following various courses and gaining work experience, architect Dries Kreijkamp has found his passion, the sphere, the most organic and natural form.
After the foundation of private company Bolbouw, the houses were realized in 1984 with the aid of a subsidy for experimental living. With the aim of connecting the residents with nature, partly due to the various round windows that are present in the houses. The houses are also environmentally friendly, because of the spherical shape the wind has almost no control over them and they are also designed in such a way that they are energy efficient and cheap.
The white sphere has a diameter of five and a half meters and consists of cement reinforced with glass fiber. The sphere is, as it were, part of a kind of stilt house. It rests on a precast concrete cylinder with a diameter of three meters. The houses are divided as follows: the living room is located at the top of the sphere, toilet and bathroom in the middle and at the bottom are the bedrooms and a storage room made of polyester.
The sphere dwellings are designed for 1 to 2 people. The diameter of the sphere is 5.5 meters. The round base has a diameter of 3 meters. Here is the entrance and storage room. The volume of the sphere is 124m³ with a floor area of 55m². Through the entrance you walk up the stairs where the bedroom is. The toilet and bathroom are located in the center of the sphere. The living room with open kitchen is located at the top of the sphere. The living room has beautiful round windows that give it a futuristic look.
The Morten Botanical Gardens in Palm Springs was a quick, yet lovely stop in our trip. It had many offerings in its compact compound. Highly recommended on anyone's itinerary if there's interest in knowing more about desert botanicals!
I was hoping this wasn't the case, but it seems like the situation has changed a bit from when I first heard about Teufelsburg. It's deifinitely not a real urban-ex site anymore.. There are people who give "tours" of the site for €7. I have no idea what their real affiliation to the site is, but they seem to have it on lockdown. It's a shame we weren't able to explore on our own, but at least I got some good photos. More free advertising for these capitalists I suppose..

The fine art photography magazine, Arte Fotografica Issue 61, is now available online, also soon to be issued in print. I'm very privileged to be included as one of six featured photographers in this months publication. I was invited to submit twelve images of which they selected nine. This one of the images they chose not to include and, although it is similar to a previous image of the Selfridges Building that I have posted before, I thought I'd use it as a good excuse to point you in the direction of the magazine. Many thanks to Jorge at Arte Fotografica for the invitation and opportunity to show my photography to a wider audience.
The viewpoint is the center of a cube (with a green floor and a blue sky, shown in the upper left). A full 360 x 180 spherical panorama is produced from this viewpoint, and is stereographically projected from the top of the sphere. At the start, we see the "little planet" effect. The sphere is then rotated 180 degrees, interchanging zenith and nadir, to show the "tunnel" effect and all configurations in between. Movie made in Mathematica. Note that lines in the original scene become either lines or true circles in the stereographic projection.
A movie showing the stereographic projection of meridians and parallels on a sphere can be seen here.

28/52 I'm very inspired by the in-camera effects that Lara Jade and Jeremy Cowart create. Loving an image on your tiny camera display already is kind of the best :).
(Also, damn you flickr sharpening!!)

"Spherical Forest"
Llevaba una semana sin subir nada y ya era hora de hacerlo.
Una tarde y parte de la noche con mi pareja y mi hermano dando un paseo por el encinar de Boadilla del Monte. Un sitio genial para desconectar muy cerca de Madrid.

"Spherical Forest"
I's been a week without uploading a photo so it is time to do it.
An evening and a part of a night with my girlfriend and my brother going for a walk through a holm oak forest at Boadilla del Monte. A great place to disconnect very close to Madrid.

Different flowers bloom in different seasons in India. Many trees and plants flower throughout the year , including winter . India being a tropical country , has evergreen trees and flower in different seasons.
I was looking out for flowers that have recently bloomed in a park.
I came across this spherical ball of tiny white flowers and captured it. On checking the internet , I found out that this is the spherical ornamental onion flower (botanical name: Allium giganteum) .
I took a top view of the flower to emphazie the unique round shape against the backdrop of other flowers.
