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 !
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.

Title: Dumbarton Oaks Gardens: Rose Garden: Bench

Creator: Farrand, Beatrix, 1872-1959
Creator role: Landscape Architect
Date: circa 1925 (constructed) 1978 (redesigned)

Description of work: The Dumbarton Oaks Gardens were designed by the noted landscape gardener Beatrix Farrand, in cooperation with her clients Mr. and Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, who purchased the property in 1920. The formal gardens occupy 10 acres. The major work was completed between 1921 and 1941, although changes, notably the addition of the Pebble Garden and redesign of the Ellipse, continued to be made by Mrs. Bliss, working with Ruth Havey. Endowments were established expressly for the purpose of maintaining the gardens and for supporting a program of research in landscape architecture.

This photograph depicts visitors on the veranda of Echo Mountain House looking at the other sites in the complex that became known as the "White City" or the "City on the Mount." Completed in 1894, this edifice burned to the ground in 1900. Additional fires, floods, and other natural disasters bedeviled the Mt. Lowe Line, bankrupting Professor Lowe iand causing the demise of his railway in 1938.

Marina City is a mixed-use residential/commercial building complex occupying an entire city block on State Street in Chicago, Illinois. It lies on the north bank of the Chicago River in downtown Chicago, directly across from the Loop district. The complex consists of two high rise corncob-shaped 65-story towers (including five-story elevator and physical plant penthouse), at 587-foot (179 m) tall. It also includes a saddle-shaped auditorium building, and a mid-rise hotel building, all contained on a raised platform adjacent to the river. Beneath the raised platform at river level is a small marina for pleasure craft, giving the structures their name. Marina City is notable in that it is the first building in the United States to be constructed with tower cranes.

Rendered directly in Structure Synth.
Terryville Volunteers responded to a report of a house fire at 13 Prospect St. They arrived to find a heavy fire condition in the attic space of a large woodframe Victorian multi-family dwelling. As crews crews established a water supply and used ground ladders to access the roof to ventilate, a request to Thomaston was made for their tower and an engine to the scene and Harwinton for station coverage. As conditions deteriorated evacuation horn sounded and an exterior attack was taken up until a tower ladder could be set up. Low utility wires, phone poles, and tree made setting up the Thomaston tower a challenging job. With tower to the roof the vent hole was opened up and interior crews able to push in and knock down the remaining fire. Crews would remain on scene for extensive overhaul and to assist the fire marshal investigating the fire.
