Click it, you know you wana...
CAUTION Large version may cause nausea.. ;)
To me, these delicate Cherry Blossoms petals almost appear translucent in this shot. I've been very busy taking pictures of these flowers before they are all gone. I wish Cherry Blossoms bloomed all year long. But since they don't, I gotta enjoy them now. :)

Le Florida Aquarium est un aquarium géant géré par le secteur public à Tampa (Floride). On peut y observer de nombreux animaux, des écosystèmes aquatiques ainsi que terrestres, de Floride et du monde entier. Il participe notamment à la recherche et au sauvetage des récifs coralliens, des tortues de mer et des requins qui se trouvent dans la baie de Tampa et du golfe du Mexique. D’une superficie totale de près de 2 300 m², il est formé d’un dôme en verre de 25 mètres de hauteur, de 75 000 mètres carrés d’espace d’exposition et accueille près de 20 000 plantes aquatiques et animaux originaires de Floride et du monde entier. L'aquarium met en scène le parcours de l'eau en Floride, il est ainsi possible de voir des zones humides (sans moustiques :-), des plages et des barrières de coraux. Nous avons commencé la visite par le deuxième niveau, grâce au Wetlands Trail (exposition à ciel ouvert) mettant en vedette certaines des espèces les plus connues de la Floride : les alligators, les oiseaux et les loutres. Nous avons poursuivi le voyage à Madagascar, dans la cime des arbres en compagnie des lémuriens. Cette zone propose également des geckos, des caméléons et même des cafards. La visite continue dans la Coral Reef Gallery qui donne l’illusion de s’aventurer dans les profondeurs sous-marines, où se croisent une myriade de poissons tous plus insolites : poisson écureuil, poisson chat, poisson soldat, des poissons tropicaux (dont les rares dragons de mer feuillus d’Australie)… et des coraux. Le spectacle devient plus coloré à partir de là , avec l'exposition Waves of Wonder et ses poissons clowns, des réservoirs lumineux remplis de poissons tropicaux multicolores et de méduses translucides. On s’enfonce dans un tunnel qui descend dans des eaux de plus en plus profondes et en révèle les habitants. Chaque fenêtre présente un micro habitat différent selon la profondeur. La dernière fenêtre est l’équivalent d’une plongée à 20 mètres. Ne ratez pas non plus la Coral Cave qui abrite les crustacés, les écrevisses et les langoustes de toutes les espèces, des poissons soldats, des poissons-scorpions et des Nurse Sharks (requin nourrice). La vue panoramique depuis the Panoramic Window est absolument unique et permet d’admirer toute la diversité de la vie des profondeurs d’un seul coup d’œil. Très impressionnant : la paroi transparente de 5 cm d’acrylique est le seul rempart face aux 1,9 million de litres d’eau de mer. Des oiseaux en vol libre ainsi qu’une pieuvre géante du pacifique sont également d’autres surprises à découvrir au Floride Aquarium.
The Florida Aquarium is a giant aquarium operated by the public sector in Tampa, Florida. There are many animals, aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, from Florida and around the world. He is involved in the search and rescue of coral reefs, sea turtles and sharks in Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. With a total surface area of ​​almost 2,300 m², it consists of a glass dome 25 meters high, 75,000 square meters of exhibition space and hosts nearly 20,000 aquatic plants and animals from Florida and the whole world. The aquarium stages the Florida water course, so it's possible to see wetlands (without mosquitoes :-), beaches and coral reefs. We started the tour through the second level, with the Wetlands Trail featuring some of Florida's best-known species: alligators, birds and otters. We continued the trip to Madagascar, in the treetops in the company of lemurs. This area also offers geckos, chameleons and even cockroaches. The visit continues in the Coral Reef Gallery which gives the illusion of venturing into the underwater depths, where a myriad of fishes are all more unusual: squirrel fish, catfish, soldier fish, tropical fish (whose rare Australian hardwood dragons) ... and corals. The show becomes more colorful from there, with the exhibition Waves of Wonder and its clown fish, light tanks filled with multicolored tropical fish and translucent jellyfish. We sink into a tunnel that descends into deeper and deeper waters and reveals the inhabitants. Each window has a different micro habitat depending on the depth. The last window is the equivalent of a dive at 20 meters. Do not miss the Coral Cave which houses crustaceans, crayfish and lobsters of all species, fish soldiers, scorpion fish and Nurse Sharks (nurse shark). The panoramic view from the Panoramic Window is absolutely unique and allows you to admire the diversity of life in the depths at a glance. Very impressive: the transparent wall of 5 cm of acrylic is the only bulwark against 1.9 million liters of seawater. Birds in free flight and a giant octopus of the Pacific are also other surprises to discover at the Florida Aquarium.
Sometimes the moment paints itself and I'm just happy to have the holga's way of remembering when my own fails.
Tree branches dipped in icicles, twisting into makeshift stars within reach of my fingertips. The streetlamp cast a faint, orange glow through the translucent frost and the sky mixed a palette of violet and blue acrylics. I stopped several feet from the end of that pathway and looked up. And if it were not for my face absorbed by the heavens, tears would have spilled and melted the snow beneath my feet.

On a sluggish weekend when it is foggy and overcast, the sun seems elusive and colours in the outer world look dull. All I could do was borrow a few colours from nature, put them on the coffee table, and indulge myself in observing the effects of light. The translucence and vividness of these little vegs were so pleasing and rewarding that for a moment I forgot that it is still foggy outside 😊

Talking about design, this lure reminds me of a sport bike with the saddle and the fuel tank... A very simple set up on the black vinyl with a spray of smoke to separate the background, I do like the reflections a lot.

Once again the Thompson Center has landed on Preservation Chicago's list of most endangered buildings. The state of Illinois is attempting to sell it off which would likely lead to its demise. That's a mistake.
No building in Chicago has this kind of airiness,transparency, or audaciousness. It's a bold aesthetic that reminds us to dream outside of our orthogonal routines. Chicago needs more bold strokes like this, not fewer.
