with all these wonderful sun beams early in the morning, at present, bursting through the under story I am finding myself chasing them...these Zamias or Cycads fronds are sending me madder than anything while I try in vain to capture their shadows and cross hatching and criss crossing...
Zamias or Cycads...ancient plants that created vast forests millions of years ago. They grow very slowly, at 2m high they could be around 2000 years old. This variety only grows around and in the Jarrah forest regions of Western Australia's southwestern corner.
Zamias or Cycads are a ancient group of plants which look palm-like. There have male and female plants. The female plants produce large, pineapple-like cones containing large red-orange seeds.

The pneumatic structures were designed and built by 43 students in Architecture 235, a second year design studio course, to be pop-up galleries that on the inside display the work of a project.

Here is a picture I took from beneath one of those power line towers. I liked how symmetrical it looks from this perspective.
The PNNL-developed Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations, or SLIM, offers groundbreaking analytical speed and sensitivity of molecules. It’s capable of analyses orders of magnitude faster than the current technologies commonly used to distinguish the presence, structure, and abundance of different molecules in a sample.
One of the developers, Yehia Ibrahim, is being recognized in April 2019 at Battelle's corporate office for the invention.

This picture shows the way fibers are structured inside the wood of a tree. The tree, in this case, is the Carolina Poplar, a hybrid between Populus deltoides (Eastern Cottonwood) and Populus nigra (Lombardy Poplar). The undulating form of these fibers lend added strength and stability to the tree as it withstands mother nature's fury! In general, Poplars are not long lived tree's. This picture was taken after the tree was taken down from its one time vantage point above the Rose Garden Hill. (Photo by Uli Lorimer)

It’s clear that it’s been a while since this area last saw some maintenance go into it.
Not sure why someone would either put or leave material hanging over one of the girders.
It’s a scene of an old place full of memories.
I think the light is balanced well and I also think there’s a nice level of detail in this shot.

At first I wanted to take a coloured picture of the orange flower, but then I really liked the structure of the BW version

Not much happening with the sky but you get an idea of the structure at the Warried Blowhole - Canyon X.

Today was a day when we got to break stuff in our structures class! In the previous semester, we built a flitch beam (a hybrid of wood and metal) and crushed it with a machine in the basement of our building that can exert tens of thousands of pounds of pressure.
This semester we are studying lateral forces and concrete. Our first project was to test various structural systems against lateral forces (i.e. wind and earthquakes). The way to do this without taking into consideration gravity or other loads, was to design a "building" that could be suspended from the wall and loaded on it's side. This would demonstrate how three types of structural systems behaved.
My group had to design a braced frame structure, and our brilliant and simple plan was sidetracked several times by not planning out our choice of materials very well. We chose to use aluminum rods as the columns, not realizing until it was too late that no continuous metal pieces could run through joints (e.g. floorplates). So we cut up our metal into bits, and then had to figure out how to glue it back together (gorrilla glue, anyone?). Eventually we settled on a combination of pvc pipe and epoxy, and then were able to string fishing line as our braced elements, creating a giant tension truss. Our original idea had been to make our building totally transparent, and had chosen to use plexiglass as the floor plates.
During testing, our building was able to sustain quite a bit of loading in comparison to its own weight (6 lbs.). Eventually it failed due to the columns not being secure enough in the base, being pulled out and demonstrating the property of "uplift."
Next project in a few weeks: we are casting concrete, making beams, and then crushing them! Breaking stuff is so cool :)
Inside is a what appears to be a conventional Edison thread light socket, though it looks to be quite corroded.
I haven't seen this structure illuminated in a long time, if at all.
