Really? A structure?
Only a government agency could come up with wording like that.
Near the US, Mexican border.
This amazing glass couture piece Structures of Self was recently modeled by one of the collaborating artists during the new Beakerhead festival of science, art and engineering. The idea to collaborate on an a photoshoot that paired the alien/bug like garment with the 40 foot RayGun Gothic Rocketship during the setting sun, made for some pretty creative images

Principally designed by local architect turned international sensation Santiago Calatrava, the magnificent buildings- Palacio de las Artes Reina SofÃa, L'Umbracle, L'Oceanògraifc, L'Hemisfèric, Museo de Ciencias PrÃncipe Felipe- of the City of Arts and Sciences are enough to attract hoards of picture-snapping tourists. The giant, futuristic structures rise dramatically out of a crystalline infinity pool and hold the various facets of an ultra-modern cultural and scientific complex- the first of its kind in Spain. The City of Arts and Sciences was thought up as an effort to boost tourism to Valencia- outside of Las Fallas time, that is! Today, it's the second most visited attraction in Spain, beat out only by Madrid's art museum, El Prado.
L'Umbracle, a 7000 square meter green zone covering the complex's car park, is likely to be the first stop on your whirlwind tour of the City of Arts and Sciences. L'Umbracle is a paradisaical celebration of Valencia's stunning array of local flora, through which runs a landscaped walk shaped by series of fixed and floating arches. Providing shade, color and quite the delightful smell are large and small palm trees, orange tres, climbing plants, hanging vines, thousands of aromatic flowers and a vast array of blooming plants- trust us, it's a sight to see. Plus, it's the only part of the City of Arts and Sciences that's absolutely and positively free!
With its reflection in the sprawling pool completing its shape, looking at L'Hemisfèric will make you feel like someone is watching you. Shaped like a giant eye, the structure is both architecturally stunning and acutely representative of what lies within. L'Hemisfèric asks you to open your eyes and set them upon its huge, concave screen for a variety of IMAX films, laser shows and planetarium displays.
You're sure to have a swimmingly good time exploring the various installations that comprise L'Oceanogrà fic, Europe's biggest aquarium. Featuring a wide range of structures and exhibits divided amongst eight main sections, get up close and personal with belugas, walruses, tropical fish, sharks, sea lions and penguins- and that's just to name a few! L'Oceanogrà fic also features a submerged restaurant and two underwater tunnels, one of which is 70 meters long! With sharks and fish swimming all around you, there's no better way to get a taste of life under the sea.
Title: Villa la Magia
Other title: Villa la Magia (Quarrata, Italy)
Creator: Buontalenti, Bernardo, 1536-1608
Creator role: Architect
Date: 16th-18th century
Current location: Quarrata, Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy
Description of work: This villa, formerly the fortified residence of the Panciatichi family, was bought by the grand-duke Francesco (de'Medici) in 1581, who commissioned Buontalenti to carry out rebuilding work. The property later passed into the hands of the Attavanti family, then to the Ricasoli and finally to the Amati-Cellesi Counts, the current owners. The villa's late-Renaissance features - a solid square building from which two corner towers protrude - are perfectly preserved. The facades, pierced by a regular series of windows with stone surrounds, recall the linear simplicity found on other designs by Buontalenti. The entrance to the park, which is full of oaks, Himalayan cedars, holm-oaks, plane trees, ginkgo biloba and black walnut trees, is through a gate with a masonrywork exedra adorned with pedimented columns. On the southern side of the villa is a Baroque-style garden, furnished with 17th-century works. Another attractive feature is the lake, added at a later stage both for ornamentation and for water storage purposes.

north side of Changping Lu @ Xisuzhou Lu. Apparently this is to be pulled down soon and a 20-storey building to go up and ruin the area's character. The streets are far too narrow, but that won't stop them. Apartments on the top floor.
Again a rather old picture from the Nagoya Botanical Gardens in 2009. Obviously part of my leaf structure series!
From my website at www.focx.de
Technically / your photograph has many flaws. / First, there are too many items. // Secondly, the people look the wrong way, / and third, this photoshopping to place a ship / on top of the music center / is totally unbelievable. // I'm sorry, but you're removed / from this photography course
Detail of the underframe for the baseboard of my new model railway layout. Nice to be building rather than dismantling!
I'm always stunned by the numerous patterns you can observe in the vegetal reign and I particularly like to capture them with sunlight coming from behind, through the leaves. This one was shot near Belém, Brasil. If someone knew the name of that plant I would be very thankful if he'd let me know !
