THE AGE OF FLOWERING PLANTS
ANGIOSPERM means "seed borne in vessel," while GYMNOSPERM means "naked seed," a reference to the lack of protective structure enveloping the seed. One reason that flowering plants were able to diversify so dramatically and spread during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, or MODERN, the era was the evolution of new structures and tissues such as the carpel, a womb-like vessel that encloses angiosperm seeds and endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the young plant as it develop within the seed, Today, angiosperm dominate terrestrial life on the planet. At an estimated 422,000 species, they compose by far the largest group of plants. They grow in greater range of environments, exhibits a wider range of growth habits, and display more variation in form than any living group of plants. In size, angiosperm range from tiny duckweed to eucaplytuses more than 330 ft (100 m) tall.
The explosion of angiosperm diversity has gone hand in hand with the proliferation of INSECTS, BIRDS, and OTHER ANIMALS that pollinate their flowers, disperse their fruits and seeds, and eat their leaves.

An odd structure built into the hillside with a midget sized door and the roof is lower on one end than the other, I have no idea what role this building had.
Ipe garden bench with a pergola above. This garden structure was crafted in the Toronto area.

Cone-in-cone limestone bed, composed of finely fibrous calcite. This weathered sample is likely derived from an interbed in the Ohio Shale outcrop belt (Frasnian-Famennian, Upper Devonian) of central Ohio, USA.
Cone-in-cone structures are strange features found as interbeds in fine-grained siliciclastic rocks and sometimes found in the outer layers of concretions. They consist of sets of conical structures stacked up within each other. Mineralogically, they are often composed of finely-crystalline fibrous calcite. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed over the years that try to explain cone-in-cone structures. None has emerged as the most popular or most likely (see Lugli et al., 2005 for a long list of proposed formation mechanisms). These structures remain a mystery.

Something a bit different from me. I recently dug out my 150mm macro lens, which I hadn't used for a few years and decided one morning to have a bit of a play in the garden.
The Japanese Shield Fern that I bought for half price towards the end of last summer has exploded into life and is putting our some magnificent fronds. The structures and patterns of nature have always fascinated me and the fern displays them well, being almost a natural Mandlebrot Set.
I used a sheet of cardboard packaging to isolate the plant and used a wide aperture to drastically narrow the depth of field.

TGV Station, Lyon, France – architect Santiago Calatrava
The Lyon-Satolas Station is the terminus for the TGV trains connecting the airport to the city of Lyon, 30 kilometers to the south. The almost forty meter tall steel and concrete structure refers to the metaphor of a enormous bird with spread out wings. Arriving by car you enter the Main Hall through a "Gateway" formed by a concrete V-shaped abutment that join the ends of four steel arches. The center pair of arches follow the line of the roof to form a spine, the outer curved beams span over two glazed symmetrical concourse wings. In the triangular Main Hall the central spine is formed by three arches braced together by diagonal beams. Two large cantilevered balconies penetrate the space. The adjoining concrete service building is fitted with a steel and glass window wall that overlooks the Main Hall. The spine is supported by a concrete mass on the east and two supports, integrated with lift towers, on the west. The uppermost arch of the spine is a steel box of triangular section while the two lower arches are composed of steel tubes. The cross bracing members vary in size and are assembled four by four along the central tubes. From the Main Hall, where all the station's and airport services are positioned, two vaulted glass and steel concourse wings connect to the train platforms. Cast on site concrete elements support the platform roof and visually complement the roof modules in the main terminal area. The roof is either glazed or filled with prefabricated concrete sections. In the main Hall, opposite the entrance, a 180 meter long Gallery connects the station to the airport terminal. The Gallery can also be accessed directly from the overnight parking area.
Main Hall: length 130 m, max. width 100 m, max. height 39 m. Concourse Hall: length 450 m, width 56 m,Height tracks to raised central walkway 8 m, to roof 17 m

This was taken whilst close to Olympic Park.
I think that the overcast sky and the pushing of the black levels have made this appear like something a bit shadowy and menacing (in a way).
I think that the cables help to give a good sense of depth.
I like that you also get a good idea of the size of these structures without having a person in the photo.
