structure.
definitive one will be a way different than this.it’s only to have an idea of measures and forms, but i thought it became in a cute way and decided to take a pic :)
Something a bit more recognizeable: tall Scots Pine trees casting their shadows over a well-loved path through a Caledonian Forest remnant.

A toned black-and-white photograph of trees concentrating on the natural forms of trunk and branch - how limbs grow, split and stretch through space. Some trees lean or bend under their own weight, others reach upward or out in wide arcs.
Light filters through the canopy, casting soft highlights and deep shadows that bring out the grain of the bark and the structure of the leaves.
No dramatic weather or wide vistas here - just closeup attention to the way trees deport themselves in the quiet of the woods.
Nature does not require justification - least of all as a means to further some goal of mankind - especially because humanity has yet to develop a collective exhaustive knowlege, much less appreciation, of its unknown delights, benefits and pitfalls. It should just be, pure, beautiful in its authentic rawness, left to do what it will.

The U.S. Post Office and Courthouse in San Juan, Puerto Rico is a three-story, monumental, concrete office structure occupying an entire square block on the southern fringe of the Old San Juan Historic Zone. Built in 1914 the original structure was built above the foundations of the ancient city-wall
Part of my structures project. This Project was started in my 365 project & i really enjoy it.
I used a 31mm macroring to get closer to the subjects. Sometimes it's too close & your subject is touching the front lens element xDD

At 3:07AM on December 20, 2019 the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at 23383 W Mulholland Drive in Woodland Hills. Firefighters arrived on scene to find a large, commercial strip mall with heavy fire showing through the roof in one unit.
Crews immediately initiated a coordinated fire attack and roof operation. While the truck companies worked to block progression of the fire down the structure with vertical ventilation, engine companies faced the flames head on. The strip mall had different roof lines with some units connecting while others were separated by a division wall. Four of the businesses shared a common attic, which gave the fire a tunnel in which to travel.
When the structural integrity of the roof of one unit (DBA Fazio Cleaners) came into question, all crews were directed out of that unit as the fight continued. Over 100 firefighters both from LAFD and Los Angeles County Fire Department battled for 1 hour and 18 minutes before an official knockdown was declared by Incident Commander, Assistant Chief John Drake.
As crews worked to address any remaining pockets of fire, officers saw smoke starting to issue from the roofline of the adjoining business, Pet Food Express. This unit was protected from the bulk of the fire due to a division wall, however, embers made it into the attic. Crews worked to locate and extinguish the fire, preventing it from spreading while firefighters quickly conducted salvage operations to protect the contents of the business from water damage. Their efforts paid off with the fire held to one portion of the attic.
In total, only two (DBA Fazio Cleaners and Nancy’s Alterations) of the four businesses on the affected section suffered heavy damage and no injuries were reported.
Per protocol, the LAFD Arson and Counter-Terrorism Section (ACTS) responded to the incident. After the investigation, the cause is officially 'Undetermined, not suspicious in nature".

This old building is very near to RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk. I wonder if it has some relation to the airfield during WWII? Seen in October 2024.
Rhys might be able to help me out with the exact location of this old wattle and daub house. Im guessing it was about 60 km out of Golbourn. It was on the verge of collapse and sat just up the hill from a river. Im guessing that it was from the gold mining days or it was an early farmhouse
As i was so excited about tutorial that Veronique published yesterday, i couldn't go to sleep not trying this out and tried to do some for my elephants. I used just ordinary tools from manicure set.
War so begeistert von dem Tutorial von Veronique, dass ich nicht ruhig schlafen gehen konnte und hab' was ein bisschen ausprobiert. Hab' Paar Instrumente aus meinem Maniküre Set benutzt.
This immense structure consists of three terraces made up of cut stone walls with a central stairway. The inner sanctum, which consisted of a series of sunken court yards, cannot be seen from this vantage point.
I think the purpose of this platform was to create a well-defined sacred space and to impress the hell out of everyone who saw it.
========================================================
The Japanese archaeologist Yasutake Kato wrote:
"Behind the First Terrace rises an immense wall of 8.4 meters (27.5 feet) in height. In fact, this wall is made up of three segments, the first of which is 3.4 m (11 feet) high. The second is 2.9 m (9 feet) high, and the third is 2.1 m (6 feet) high. The distances between the sections are 2.8 m (9 feet) and 5 m (16 feet). This wall surrounds the entire Principal Platform that is about 47.5 m (145 feet) wide by 170 m (557 feet) deep."
"En el fondo de la Primera Terraza se levanta un inmenso muro de 8.4 m de alto que sostiene la Plataforma Principal. En realidad este muro está compuesto de tres gradas, la primera de 3.4 m de alto. La segunda de 2.9 m de alto, y la tercera de 2.1 m de alto. Las distancias entre cada grada son de 2.8 m y 5 m. Este muro de tres gradas rodea toda la Plataforma Principal que mide aproximadamente 145 m de ancho y 170 m de largo."

According to Wikipedia:
Kuntur Wasi (Quechua kuntur condor, wasi house, "condor house") is the name given to the ruins of a religious center with complex architecture and stone sculptures, located in the Andean highlands of Peru.
It is believed the inhabitants had a link with the Chavín culture.
Kuntur Wasi is located in the Northern Mountain Range of Peru, specifically at the headwaters of the Jequetepeque River, in the region of the city of Cajamarca near the small town of San Pablo. The Jequetepeque valley provided a transportation corridor between the coastal region and the highlands.
Kuntur Wasi was a center where people congregated.
It is thought to have been constructed around 1000-700 BCE, during the Initial Period. The architecture consists of a hill-top temple, quadrangular platforms, a sunken courtyard, and series of rooms.
In the floor of one room there is an anthropomorphic figure made of clay, about 30 inches (75 cm) in height. It is painted with cinnabar red, malachite green, and black, yellow, and pink. Its face has big square eyes and a wide mouth with prominent canine teeth. There are also stepped platforms and funeral structures.
Lithosculptures have been found, similar to the Chavín style.
Kuntur Wasi was occupied between the years 1200-50 BC.
It was first discovered in 1945 by Julio C. Tello. In 1989, scientists from the University of Tokyo excavated four tombs at Kuntur Wasi. Valuable items, such as pectoral necklaces (decorative breastplates), gold crowns, ornamental stone beads, earrings, sets of dishes and iconographies of people were discovered in the burial area.
Since the beginning of the University of Tokyo's archaeological mission, eight tombs have been found in the area.
The Kuntur Wasi Museum, managed by local citizens, opened in 1994.

Según Wikipedia:
Kuntur Wasi es un sitio arqueológico que data del Formativo Inferior, se encuentra ubicado en el centro poblado del mismo nombre, en la provincia de San Pablo, en el departamento de Cajamarca, en el Perú.
En la lengua quechua Kuntur Wasi significa "Casa del Cóndor". Según el arqueológo japonés, Yoshio Onuki, estudioso principal de este sitio arqueológico, Kuntur Wasi es una expresión prechavín pero que posteriormente posee una gran influencia no solo de Chavín sino también de Cupisnique especialmente en la orfebrería y la cerámica.
Kuntur Wasi pasó por los siguientes periodos:
Fase Ídolo: Construcción del centro ceremonial con pisos enlucidos con cal de color blanco. En esta fase hay una cierta relación con Huacaloma y Pacopampa.
Fase Kuntur: Construcción de un nuevo complejo ceremonial en forma de U. Se desarrolla la cerámica fina y la orfebrería.
Fase Copa: Modificación del complejo arquitectónico ceremonial y la renovación del sistema de canales de drenaje.
Fase Sotera: Existe una relación con la Fase Layzón del valle de Cajamarca. Corresponde a la decadencia de Kuntur Wasi.
Reflection test using the new internal Structure Synth raytracer. (Rendering time: 2.4s)
I've started working on a simple built-in raytracer in Structure Synth, both for providing fast previews in the GUI, and for people who are intimidated by the somewhat complex template export.
So far it is pretty standard stuff: a single-threaded, Phong shaded based raytracer which uses the Fast Voxel Traversel method to accelerate ray-primitive intersection tests. As of now it supports reflections, transparency, shadows (the hard and ugly type), and adaptive anti-alias. I've also implemented a simple Ambient Occlusion scheme.
One among the few least destroyed structures in Hampi, Elephant Stable is a major tourist attraction. This long building with a row of domed chambers was used to ‘park’ the royal elephants. There are 11 domed tall chambers; some of them are inter- connected. The center one is specially decorated and big. Probably the musicians and the associated band troupes had been using this during ceremonies involving elephant processions.
The whole building looks symmetric with respect to this central hall. The tower of the central hall resembles (though mostly destroyed) more like that of temples. However the five pairs of domes on either side are of Islamic in style. They are better preserved and of alternating patterns.
Metal hooks (used to tie the elephants) on the inside roof can be seen. At the rear of each hall are small manhole type openings for the mahouts to enter the elephant compartments. You reach here through the Zenana Enclosure. From here you proceed to the Guard’s Quarters and then may be to the Ranga Temple located a bit south of it all.

The Wheeling Intelligencer published on Wednesday, July 15th, 1908:
An historic landmark, probably one of the most important remaining in West Virginia, has been removed. The demolition of the Betty Zane cabin, located on Market alley, between Main and Market streets, was completed yesterday, negotiations for the purchase of the place by the local chapter of the Daughters and Sons of the Revolution having fallen flat.
Offers to Mr Feinler were far below the value of the ground occupied by the historic old cabin. It is understood that a number of offers were made by private parties who hoped to secure the property and sell it to the City or state for a large sum.
Many public spirited citizens of Wheeling extensively discussed the advisability of purchasing the property and presenting it to the city to be retained and preserved as a memorial of Wheeling’s early days and the stirring times of Indian warfares. Their offer for the property, however, is said to have been, far below its real value.
Work is soon to he started on a handsome new brick structure that is to replace the old relic.
The famous old building will not be lost to history, however, as M.r Feinler has artfully stored away the logs and in fact every visage of the structure. Many additional relics, bearing out the theory that it was without doubt the original Betty Zane cabin or “powder house,” were discovered when the workmen were excavating in the crude foundations.
Mr. Feinler will begin work on the new building as soon as practicable. It will be a three-story brick structure. The first floor will be used as a business house, and the second and third for flats. The plans will be prepared by Architect Leiner. The brickwork contract has been awarded to Contractor Hamilton and the woodwork will be done by McDonald Brothers.
**************************
On Saturday, May 18th, 1946, the Intelligencer further reported:
Wheeling’s early history is inseparably tied up with Betty Zane’s girlish heroics and one Andrew Christian Maximilian Hess, is seeing to it that the remaining vestige of her sojourn here are preserved for posterity.
When it became known that the logs from the original Betty Zane cabin, which stood for years and years in the Stone & Thomas alley, were stored in an old residence in North Wheeling; a house that was to be razed for the building materials it contained, Andrew bought them and turned them over to Oglebay Park.
The timbers are about 18 inches wide and four inches thick and are excellently preserved, being of walnut. Just what disposition of them will be made at the park is not determined at this time, but they will likely be utilized in a special Betty Zane room for one of the buildings on Oglebay’s blueprints for the future. There are too few of the Zane logs to reconstruct a complete cabin. During the years, some of the cabin’s original logs were used for making gavels for various organizations.
**************************
In the July 2, 1976, Bicentennial edition of the Wheeling News-Register/Intelligencer, the newspaper reported:
"The cabin, located in Stone's Alley, was dismantled about 1910, the logs stored by Mrs. Gibson Caldwell, later by Andrew C. M. Hess. They were presented to Oglebay Park when Wilson Lodge was built and today are an integral part of the Betty Zane room there."

STRUCTURES is a series of generative art pieces the explores the constructions of our world by taking photographs of man-made and natural structures and placing them into a new structure. This process semi-randomly fragments and rearranges the photographs into a grid of my design. I'll often run the images through this process several times, using various grid structures along the way.
