Exhibition of the sound structures of François and Bernard Baschet, during the festival 'hivernautes' in Quimper (France) in February 2007.
in his first solo exhibition in spain, artist petrit halilaj has transformed madrid’s palacio de cristal into a giant nest of massive flowers. the artist has connected the temporary installation with the city’s retiro park by opening windows, setting up structures, and placing feeding areas to attract the birds and other creatures inhabiting or passing through the park. ‘to a raven and the hurricanes which bring back smells of humans in love from unknown places’ is the first show inaugurated by the museo reina sofía since its closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which interrupted the montage of the exhibition.
Palacio de Cristal del Retiro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palacio de Cristal
The Palacio de Cristal ("Glass Palace") is a conservatory located in Madrid's Buen Retiro Park. It was built in 1887 on the occasion of the Exposition of the Philippines, held in the same year, then a Spanish colonial possession. The architect was Ricardo Velázquez Bosco.

The Palacio de Cristal, in the shape of a Greek cross, is made almost entirely of glass set in an iron framework on a brick base, which is decorated with ceramics. Its cupola makes the structure over 22 metres high. When it was erected, glass and iron construction on a large scale was already to be seen in Madrid at Delicias station (1880), the work of a French architect. However the curved architecture of the Palacio de Cristal is more comparable to the techniques pioneered by the British architects Joseph Paxton (who was responsible for London's Crystal Palace) and Decimus Burton (who was responsible for the Palm House at Kew Gardens).
The cast-iron frame was manufactured in Bilbao.[1] The structure was designed in a way that would allow it to be re-erected on another site (as happened to the equivalent building in London). However, the building has remained on the original site, next to a lake, and has been restored to its original appearance. It is no longer used as a greenhouse, and is currently used for art exhibits.[2]

This is the first of two images.
It looks to me like a foamy egg deposit made over an existing structure, similar to the one in next image.
Here's a possiblity:
"While it may seem unusual to see eggs deposited on top of a cocoon, this is how some tussock moths lay their eggs."

"If, while you are searching, you happen upon an empty hairy gossamer cocoon lacking this egg cluster, then you have come upon the former abode of a MALE Tussock Moth (see below). " onceuponamichigan.com/2011/12/

A little further down the road I came to the railroad crossing at Alpine. This interesting structure appears to be a cistern of sorts. It could have been built by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad which is the progenitor of the CSXT that currently is the name of the corporation. This location is at a creek where it empties into the James River, and the structure was apparently a water storage facility. More on that in another photo.
I didn't bother to change the camera from Bright Sunshine to Shade as I felt there was enough light to overcome the color cast that comes with the shadows. It's close, but nothing to really complain about.

A study of 7620 Michigan Avenue in Detroit, Michigan.
It is just one of the many pre-depression structures found on the US-12 roadway in Detroit.
Though it is abandoned and in disrepair, the structure still retains its beauty. Of note architecturally are the facial reliefs that finish off graceful columns that flow down from the elaborate roofline, to create a frame for the bay window and corner window. Also seen is a decorative pediment above the Michigan Avenue entry.
While not much is known about the history, "John Ciagle Lawyer" is still displayed prominently in an upper floor window. Dar-pol Travel once operated out of the Michigan Avenue storefront.
Kigali, Rwanda – The University of Rwanda (UR) is excited to announce the beginning of a new Master of Science degree program in Agribusiness. The gender-sensitive degree program will enroll its first cohort of students in February 2015.
The degree program was developed in partnership with Michigan State University (MSU) with funding provided by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) through the Women’s Leadership Program, implemented globally by Higher Education for Development (HED).
The graduate program is prioritizing accessibility to women and mid-career professionals, and is incorporating extensive experiential learning opportunities for the students. The structure of this program in particular will require all students to partake in an internship opportunity thus better preparing them for leadership and entrepreneurial roles in agriculture in Rwanda.
“Agriculture is vital to the people and economy of Rwanda and many of those involved in agriculture are women. Their input to the business of agriculture is essential. It is also important that agriculture adopts a modern business strategy because it is a business and all those involved must learn the relevant skills," said Emeritus Professor James McWha Vice Chancellor University of Rwanda. " This program brings together all the components necessary for a major development of the future of the agriculture and food industries in Rwanda.”
Using a collaborative approach, the Women’s Leadership Program is designed to support access of women to higher education and advanced degrees, strengthen institutional capacity in research and education on women’s leadership, and promote women’s leadership through higher education extension/outreach efforts in underserved communities.
“The empowerment of women through the expansion of their leadership opportunities and spaces for their voices to be heard is a top priority for USAID globally, including in Rwanda,” said Joseph Lessard, USAID/Rwanda Economic Growth Director. “We really believe this program will give women rich opportunities to share their expertise and play major roles in the country’s economic development. We congratulate the University of Rwanda and Michigan State University on this achievement, and look forward to seeing how it will benefit Rwanda into the future.”
Michigan State University has a rich history of working collaboratively with the Rwandan government and their institutes of higher education.
“It has been a great honor to continue the tradition of our two universities working together to advance the agriculture sector in Rwanda,” said Dr. Gretchen Neisler, Principle Investigator on this project from MSU. “Working collaboratively on the Rwanda Women’s Leadership Program has been very rewarding. I look forward to strengthening our partnership with UR through the continued development of this degree program. I am also excited to explore new and innovative ways for our two universities to work together to educate the next generation of thought leaders at both Michigan State University and the University of Rwanda.”
##The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is the foreign assistance agency of the United States Government. USAID supports $150 million of development assistance annually to Rwanda, with programs in health, economic development, education, and democracy and governance.

Le Parque das Nações est un quartier réhabilité sur le fleuve Tage. Des espaces verts ornés d'œuvres d'art publiques relient de remarquables édifices contemporains, comme le théâtre Camões et l'immense Oceanarium de Lisbonne. À proximité se trouvent des restaurants branchés au bord de l'eau et le centre Vasco da Gama, avec verrière, abritant des boutiques et des cinémas. Des expositions adaptées aux enfants attirent les familles vers le Pavilhão do Conhecimento, tandis que la télécabine de Lisbonne offre une vue dégagée.
Recently I went out to shoot a photo that represents "inspiration". This photo captures lots of it for me. Texture, pattern, type, urban, color, nature, structure and so on. I pull from all these things for my photography and design work. I am involved in a weekly theme, so more to come.
