I have milkweed in the back yard to attract monarch butterflies. While it does not always work, it looks interesting from many angles. Black spots on the yellow flowers are ant butts. Could not get one to pose properly.
Used shallow DOF to focus on the yellow flowers.

A look around Lucca, this wasn't a guided tour but we were being taken towards the Piazza Anfiteatro. The weather was fine in the morning.
Heading through Piazza San Martino towards Piazza Antelminelli.
San Martino's Square on which the Cathedral rises, is among the most harmonious and stimulating places in town. The balance of the complex structure converges in the buildings overlooking it, yet being typical of very different periods and styles. An admirable example of environmental respect and perfect urban positioning is represented by Palazzo Micheletti.
The Cathedral of San Martino was partly under scaffolding on our visit.
Cattedrale di S. Martino
Lucca Cathedral (Italian: Duomo di Lucca, Cattedrale di San Martino) is a Roman Catholic cathedral dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours in Lucca, Italy. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Lucca. Construction was begun in 1063 by Bishop Anselm (later Pope Alexander II).
Of the original structure, the great apse with its tall columnar arcades and the fine campanile remain. The nave and transepts of the cathedral were rebuilt in the Gothic style in the 14th century, while the west front was begun in 1204 by Guido Bigarelli of Como, and consists of a vast portico of three magnificent arches, and above them three ranges of open galleries adorned with sculptures.
Labyrinth on the portico of the cathedral
In the nave a small octagonal temple or chapel shrine contains the most precious relic in Lucca, the Holy Face of Lucca (Italian: Volto Santo di Lucca) or Sacred Countenance. This cedar-wood crucifix and image of Christ, according to the legend, was carved by his contemporary Nicodemus, and miraculously conveyed to Lucca in 782. Christ is clothed in the colobium, a long sleeveless garment. The chapel was built in 1484 by Matteo Civitali, the most famous Luccan sculptor of the early Renaissance.
The tomb of Ilaria del Carretto by Jacopo della Quercia of Siena, the earliest of his extant works was commissioned by her husband, the lord of Lucca, Paolo Guinigi, in 1406.
Additionally the cathedral contains Domenico Ghirlandaio's Madonna and Child with Saints Peter, Clement, Paul and Sebastian; Federico Zuccari's Adoration of the Magi, Jacopo Tintoretto's Last Supper, and finally Fra Bartolomeo's Madonna and Child (1509).
There is a legend to explain why all the columns of the façade are different. According to the tale, when they were going to decorate it, the inhabitants of Lucca announced a contest for the best column. Every artist made a column, but then the inhabitants of Lucca decided to take them all, without paying the artists and used all the columns.

Dancing Rabbit is located in a county that has no building codes, which gives members a great deal of leeway in deciding what to build. They do have an environmental covenant that disallows lumber, except for reclaimed lumber and locally harvested wood. Many structures utilize clay taken right out of the ground, often combined with straw bale construction.

At 12:37AM on July 14, 2020 the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire in the 2200 block of E 1st St. Firefighters arrived to find a one story row of commercial units with fire showing. 100 firefighters battled and extinguished the stubborn fire in two hours and 10 minutes. This was an extended operation due to the difficulty accessing all areas of the fire because of the roof collapse. No were injuries reported. LAFD Arson Section responded for the cause investigation, per protocol for a fire of this size.

By the authority of Command, MABAS Box #5-1274 was struck out at 8:56pm.
News article obtained from the Northwest Herald:
McHENRY – A barn about two-thirds full of hay on Draper Road caught fire Thursday night and was destroyed, according to the McHenry Township Fire Protection District.
Firefighters responded around 7:10 p.m. to Shamrock Beef Cattle Farm at 533 Draper Road and found flames and smoke coming out of the barn, according to a news release. More than 600 bales of hay were being stored inside the building.
The roof of the barn collapsed and made it unstable for entry, McHenry Township Fire Protection Chief Tony Huemann said. Preliminary reports indicate that the cause of the blaze was accidental.
The fire department also used equipment to move the hay bales away from the fire, Huemann said. To get water to the scene, firefighters had to extend lines to hydrants in the Legend Lakes subdivision across the street.
The fire was under control in about eight hours, the news release states.
Personnel from Crystal Lake, Wauconda, Woodstock, Fox Lake, Wonder Lake, Cary, Spring Grove, Richmond, Antioch, Algonquin-Lake in the Hills, Fox River Grove, Nunda Rural, Grayslake and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency responded to the scene.
No one was injured during the incident, and the structure itself sustained heavy damage with all the contents inside destroyed.
The fire is under investigation.
Shukhov Hyperboloid Structure.
Hyperboloid structures are architectural structures designed using a hyperboloid in one sheet. Often these are tall structures such as towers where the hyperboloid geometry's structural strength is used to support an object high off the ground, but hyperboloid geometry is also often used for decorative effect as well as structural economy. The first hyperboloid structures were built by Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov.
Hyperbolic structures have a negative Gaussian curvature, meaning they curve inward rather than curving outward or being straight. As doubly ruled surfaces, they can be made with a lattice of straight beams, hence are easier to build than curved surfaces that do not have a ruling and must instead be built with curved beams.
Hyperboloid structures are superior in stability towards outside forces compared with "straight" buildings, but have shapes often creating large amounts of unusable volume (low space efficiency) and therefore are more commonly used in purpose-driven structures, such as water towers (to support a large mass), cooling towers, and aesthetic features.
A good example of a Hyperboloid Structure is the control tower at Newcastle Airport.
The Structure was modelled in Autodesk Inventor and rendered in Autodesk 3DS.
The stairs and some characters on the corners.
Using a new aspect (for me) of Structure synth and sunflow here:
- by adding a type to an object we can have sunflow use a specific material.
E.g. I might have a line in a rule like:
{ x -0.45 y -1.55 z -0.2 s 0.1 0.1 3 } box::rail
In sunflow I can get all boxes with this type to use the apricot diffuse material if I use this in the template:
(note additon of type field)
Put it next to the box substitution that is already there.
You will also need to add the material "apricot" near the top of the existing 'begin' substitution (along with the existing material definitions).
E.g.
%%shaders
shader {
name "apricot"
type amb-occ
bright 0.92 0.88 0.65
dark 0 0 0
samples 64
dist 12
}
This way you can get specific rules to use specific materials. (and not just colors).
e.g. glass ends on your pieces.
In the one above i used shiny copper for the characters head, apricot ambioc material for the rails, and gray for the doors. The body and the first square use a diffuse green
Neighbors noticed the two car detached garage at 105 Davis Rd to be going good so they made the call to the Seymour Volunteers. When the tones dropped an automatic mutual aid was requested from the Town of Oxford for a ladder truck as Seymour's was out of service. The fire crews arrived to a fully involved garage fire which was spreading to the exposed section of the 1.5 story wood dwelling which was in close proximity. Fire had extended into the first floor as well as the attic space but quick work from the responders kept the fire from engulfing the dwelling as well. Searchs of the home were negative but the owner was still unaccounted for. As marshals dug throught the rubble which was once the garage in hopes of determining the origin of the fire they made the discovery of human remains amongst the ashes and charred wood. The body which was badly burned was taken by the medical examiners office so an autopsy might reveal the identity of the deceased.
