I found this at the edge of a recreation ground whilst looking for something else. At first I thought it was a railway tunnel air vent but there aren't any tunnels in the area. Also, whilst it seems circular, the other side is actually flat. So no idea, really.

A structure fire at a home in the 1600 block of Stockton Lane on Saturday evening in Crystal Lake resulted in no injuries, but approximately $150,000 in damage.
At 6:49 p.m. Saturday, the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue Department responded to a report of a structure fire with a fire in the garage at the home on Stockton Lane.
According to a news release from Crystal Lake Deputy Fire Chief Christopher Olsen, crews noticed heavy smoke while en route to the fire and upgraded the alarm to request mutual aid units.
The fire crews “extinguished the bulk of the fire from the exterior before entering the structure,” Olsen said.
There were no injuries to the home’s residents or firefighters, and the estimated damage is approximately $150,000, according to the news release.
Additional units from the Algonquin/Lake in the Hills Fire Protection District, Barrington-Countryside, Carpentersville, Cary, Marengo, McHenry County EMA/Rehab South, McHenry Township Fire Protection District, Huntley Fire Protection District, Nunda Rural and Wauconda, West Dundee and Wonder Lake assisted at the scene and in the stations, according to the release.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Playing around with Structure Synth and exports to POV-Ray. The output looked a lot like hair so it seemed fitting to throw a LEGO minifig under it. Wild huh?

Earth Designs Garden Design and Build were asked to created a landscape and propose garden design in Buckhrst Hill, Essex*. Here are the details of the project
The Copper Garden in Buckhurst Hill, Essex IG9 5QN
Breif:The plot is a large garden in a detached sub-urban property
There is an area of block paving outside the house, separated from the rest of the garden by iron railings and gate. This should be retained in the design.
The client has a dog, who should be considered in the design.
Other things for consideration are the different levels in the space (the garden slopes away from the house) and the need for screening from the hospital to the left of the garden.
The clients have requested a clean, contemporary space
Solution: This design is crisp and angular with a contemporary feel, and divides the space into three distinct areas in order to incorporate the existing block paving and retain an area of lawn for the client’s dog.
Leading into the main area of garden from the existing block paving will be a path comprising rows of mint sandstone interspersed with rows of loose polished black Chinese pebbles. This will dogleg first to the right, then to the left and continue halfway down the right hand side of the space, where it will finally turn left again to run across the middle of the space. The journey of this path shall enclose a large area of paving, laid in a formal pattern with stylish black honed slate tiles (60cm x 60cm).
Directly in front of the existing block paving, to the left and right of the first section of path, two 50cm high rendered block raised beds will serve to firmly separate the block paved area from the rest of the space. These beds will be filled with elegant Zantedeschia and spiky Miscanthus for truly contemporary planting scheme. A further, long, rendered block raised bed planted with black bamboo separates the middle section from a large area of lawn at the bottom of the space. The colour of the raised beds would be decided in conjunction with the client.
The lawn area will be framed by a series of silver birch, underplanted with evergreen sedge and black grass, to give the bottom of the garden a secluded, copse-like feel.
Several decorative features sited within the main area of paving will become focal points of the space. The first of these will be two unusual sculptures, one on the left and one middle back of the paving, which will comprise topiary spirals planted in tall tapered black zinc planters contained within two large square frames joined together to form a hollow, rectangular, box-like structure. Behind the left hand box sculpture a host of vertical copper tubes will appear to be ‘growing’ from a railway sleeper set into the ground. Several similar tubular sculptures, nestled between the bamboo in the raised bed running across the garden, will produce a dramatic and visually stunning backdrop to the garden. To ensure continued use when the sun goes down, the garden will feature a variety of lighting chosen to give both general lighting and to highlight certain features. Low voltage spot lights placed throughout the beds will give the garden a gentle wash to the garden while drawing attention to the architectural planting scheme. Down lighters in the top of the box sculptures will highlight the bamboo below, with white light sticks hidden amongst main tubular sculpture to the left bringing a playful feel to the space. Uplighters below the remaining tubular sculptures will illuminate the long raised bed to striking effect. Finally, stainless steel eyelid lights set into the exposed walls of the remaining raised beds will help to illuminate the path and paving, and guide ones journey through the space

Lily Flowers - Delightful Structures and Shapes of Nature.
Lilies are tall perennials ranging in height from 2–6 ft (60–180 cm). They form naked or tunicless scaly underground bulbs which are their overwintering organs. In some North American species the base of the bulb develops into rhizomes, on which numerous small bulbs are found. Some species develop stolons. Most bulbs are deeply buried, but a few species form bulbs near the soil surface. Many species form stem-roots. With these, the bulb grows naturally at some depth in the soil, and each year the new stem puts out adventitious roots above the bulb as it emerges from the soil. These roots are in addition to the basal roots that develop at the base of the bulb.
The flowers are large, often fragrant, and come in a range of colours including whites, yellows, oranges, pinks, reds and purples. Markings include spots and brush strokes. The plants are late spring- or summer-flowering. Flowers are borne in racemes or umbels at the tip of the stem, with six tepals spreading or reflexed, to give flowers varying from funnel shape to a "Turk's cap". The tepals are free from each other, and bear a nectary at the base of each flower. The ovary is 'superior', borne above the point of attachment of the anthers. The fruit is a three-celled capsule.
Seeds ripen in late summer. They exhibit varying and sometimes complex germination patterns, many adapted to cool temperate climates.
Naturally most cool temperate species are deciduous and dormant in winter in their native environment. But a few species which distribute in hot summer and mild winter area (Lilium candidum, Lilium catesbaei,Lilium longiflorum) lose leaves and remain relatively short dormant in Summer or Autumn, sprout from Autumn to winter, forming dwarf stem bearing a basal rosette of leaves until accept enough chilling requirement, the stem begins to elongate while warming.

At 4:48AM on April 23, 2020 the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a reported auto fire in the 1300 block of S 2nd Av in Arlington Heights. While resources were enroute, the incident was upgraded to a structure fire response. Firefighters arrived on scene to find at least nine autos and three garages/carports burning, spreading flames to two other buildings. It took 71 firefighters 53 minutes to extinguish the flames across the multiple garages/autos and both residential occupancies. There were no reported injuries. The cause of the fire is under active investigation

Wing imaginal discs are the parts of insect larvae which form adult structures during metamorphosis. This is a wing imagial disc from a Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) larva that forms one wing and half the throax. It has been stained using antibodies against Phosphohistone 3 (red- showing dividing cells) and another protein (green) that is only expressed in this mutant. It is also stained with DAPI, which shows the cell nuclei.
This image is a single slice of a z-stack taken on a Zeiss confocal microscope.
A description of this Drosophila mutant can be found in this paper published recently in Biology Open: bio.biologists.org/content/early/2015/03/06/bio.201410199... (Open access)

Shukhov Hyperboloid Structure.
Hyperboloid structures are architectural structures designed using a hyperboloid in one sheet. Often these are tall structures such as towers where the hyperboloid geometry's structural strength is used to support an object high off the ground, but hyperboloid geometry is also often used for decorative effect as well as structural economy. The first hyperboloid structures were built by Russian engineer Vladimir Shukhov.
Hyperbolic structures have a negative Gaussian curvature, meaning they curve inward rather than curving outward or being straight. As doubly ruled surfaces, they can be made with a lattice of straight beams, hence are easier to build than curved surfaces that do not have a ruling and must instead be built with curved beams.
Hyperboloid structures are superior in stability towards outside forces compared with "straight" buildings, but have shapes often creating large amounts of unusable volume (low space efficiency) and therefore are more commonly used in purpose-driven structures, such as water towers (to support a large mass), cooling towers, and aesthetic features.
A good example of a Hyperboloid Structure is the control tower at Newcastle Airport.
The Structure was modelled in Autodesk Inventor and rendered in Autodesk 3DS.

Title: Villa la Foce: garden structure
Other title: Villa La Foce (Chiusi, Italy)
Creator: Pinsent, Cecil, 1884-1963
Creator role: Architect
Date: 15th century; 1924-1939
Current location: Chiusi, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Description of work: The Villa la Foce and farm sit in the clay hills of southern Tuscany overlooking the Val d'Orcia. The Villa itself was built in the 15th century as a hostel to house pilgrims and merchants traveling the via Francigena. There are numerous buildings on the 3, 500 acre property including a castle, church, school house, clinic and several farmhouses. Antonio Origo and his wife Iris Origo purchased the property in 1924 and employed Cecil Pinsent to remodel and rebuild the Villa and gardens. Pinsent designed the gardens in a Renaissance style using a structure of simple, elegant, box-edged beds and green enclosures that give shape to the Origos' shrubs, perennials and vines, and created a garden of soaring cypress walks, native cyclamen, lawns and wildflower meadows. The property is currently maintain by the Origo sisters and can be rented out for parties, events and vacations.
Description of view: The top of the Travertine grotto in the lower garden. The steps on either side lead from the upper to lower garden.
