For Ki's coming of manhood we found some glow sticks at Home Depot. The last few moments of his first day as an adult were spent doing these light trails.

This must be high quality, hardened steel as the rust is only surface oxidation. Pretty impressive for something the best part of a century old.

Couldn't execute a better composition - parking lot to the right and some distracting building to the left. It turned out much better than I thought, though.
HSB Turning Torso is a skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden on the Swedish side of the Oresund strait. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and officially opened on 27 August 2005. Upon completion, it was the tallest building in Scandinavia, and Europe's second highest apartment building, after the 264-metre-high Triumph-Palace in Moscow.
The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories. The design is based on a sculpture by Santiago Calatrava called Twisting Torso. The tower's design uses nine five-story cubes that twist as it rises; the top-most segment is twisted ninety degrees clockwise with respect to the ground floor. Each floor basically consists of a rectangular section surrounding the central core, along with a triangular section, which is partially supported by an exterior steel scaffold. The two bottom cubes are intended as office space. Cubes three through nine houses 149 luxury apartments.
The Twisting Torso sculpture is a white marble piece based on the form of a twisting human being. Johnny Örbäck, former CEO of the Turning Torso contractor and Board Chairman of the Malmö branch of the co-operative housing association HSB, saw the sculpture in 1999 and contacted Calatrava to ask him to design a building using the same concept. Construction started in the summer of 2001.
Good news - new wiper motor and linkage fitted to the Alfa and it kind of works. Bad news, the old arms that carry the blades don't fit the splines on the new mechanism, so another purchase required. Also, the motor still doesn't "park" and runs at only one speed and doesn't respond to the washer switch. It also runs with the ignition off, which can't be right - so something is wrong in the wiring department :-(
At some moment of time, when we are unaware, life goes to its turning point. Changes is ultimate fact. Eveything is always changing
Koi fishes like to swim in school. As the two leaders turned their direction and few were ackonwledged and about to change while the remaining need more time to respond to change.
