In association with Paul Kasmin Gallery and the Department of Parks & Recreation, the DOT Urban Art Program presents Brazilian sculptor Saint Clair Cemin’s monumental, mirrored, stainless steel sculpture Vortex. The 40 foot tall sculpture embodies, "mankind’s desire for transcendence, whisking up into the clouds all that it reflects on its surface." Inspired by Brancusi’s saying, "sculpture is direct carving," Cemin draws from cultures all over the world, and juxtaposes these diverse civilizations within his work.
Vortex is part of a larger presentation of six of Cemin’s surrealist sculptures spanning 100 blocks along Broadway. Other sculptures, varying in material and scale, include The Four, In the Center, Portrait of the Word Why, Aphrodite and The Wind. The exhibition begins September 6, 2012 and will runs until November 25, 2012.

Originally, I titled this photo "Sphincter."
Then I thought to spare everybody the image by calling it "Vortex."
But that seemed too tame.
So now, I give you:
SPHINCTER VORTEX.
Please to enjoy.
Saturn's polar vortex in green. This one shows a lot of detail where the purple one didn't... Colorized from Cassini images.

This week saw Operation Vortex take place on the Bolton District.
The traffic phase of the operation saw ANPR cameras used to stop uninsured and/or untaxed vehicles and patrol cars deployed to stop drivers for other potential offences.

This is a close up of a vortex marble made by Jim Witham. I used the Post Focus mode on a Panasonic GX8 and focus stacking to maximize depth of field. In the future, I plan to experiment with diffuse lighting to reduce reflections.

Vortex seen from the Eiffel Tower. This thing looked like my worst nightmare when I was a kid! Now it looks majestic, as an Arrow mega-looper should.

Intensive analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has
demonstrated that the most effective method of exchanging energy,
CO2/O2 and moisture in the incubator, is to generate as many vortices as possible – of a specific dimension and intensity – in the wake of the air pump blade. This research, combined with practical field studies, has driven the design and construction of Pas Reform’s brand new Vortex™.
One of Atlanta's most iconic bars and restaurants, serving up the world's best hamburgers! This is the location right in the heart of Little Five Points.
This is actually an accidental photo, forgot my camera was set to auto timer, and I picked it up after I pressed the shutter...looks kinda nice though
