A building with huge photographic potential but with the sun so low at this time of year, very little of it was in sunlight. A good excuse to go back again!
To keep up with the challenge of #twisted DNA shape in the #macroMADEMOISELLE group today I decided to take it literally. How to construct a model of the DNA double helix? I needed some elastic and simultaneously sticky materials. So I folded two elastic candy canes, connected them by wooden stick pierced jellybabies and twisted the whole construction. The gummi bears symbolize the stabilizing base pairs between the strands. After I finished this, I took it to a place where sunset light was optimal and the rest was done by my

A 'flipped' version of an old shot of the Hawkins Brown designed New Biochemistry Building in the Oxford University Science area.
Continuing to upload pretty randomly until I get a chance to process more photos from my trip to the Cote d'Azur last Autumn.

This colourful abstract features the Hawkins/Brown designed University of Oxford Biochemistry Building and is another of my #OxonArtweeks images. I uploaded the original a few years ago and rather than bump the image to the front of my photostream to join the other images I've flipped this horizontally and re-uploaded it. Think I may actually prefer it like this.......
More details of the Exhibition here for those in the Oxford area : www.facebook.com/events/1042876822435988/
The Exhibition features a wide range of different photographic genres from myself and ten other talented local photographers. There should be something for everyone.......
From Wikipedia : "Until 2006, two other buildings housing genetics (the Walter Bodmer building) and biochemistry (the Rudolph Peters building) also existed. However, these have since been demolished. Until 2008 biochemistry occupied the Donald Woods building and the Hans Krebs Tower, which was demolished in 2014. The Tower made way for the new biochemistry building to house interdisciplinary research in the Biosciences drawn from departments including Physiology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Clinical Neurosciences. The Department moved into the purpose-built new biochemistry building during the Autumn of 2008 which was designed to promote interaction and collaboration as well as provide facilities for all staff. The New Biochemistry building houses a substantial amount of contemporary art."

Closeup view of a dry weed against the white background. The play of stems and seeds brings to mind the image of some complicated biochemical formula. Minimalistic, scientific, abstract art of Nature. Black and white photograph.
Haha. We were both wearing green shirts, and we both put the glasses on. I didn't edit it much. What do you think?
I thought the original of this shot of the Hawkins/Brown Biochemistry Department of Oxford University would work better as a square format shot. Then I thought it would be fun to play with the colour so I shifted the hues towards blue......

A 'flipped' version of a recent shot of the Hawkins Brown designed Oxford University New Biochemistry Building.
This may well be one of the images I choose to exhibit at an upcoming Exhibition at Wolfson College in Oxford. I'll upload the original later for those interested.

A different version of this colourful 'flipped' abstract of the Hawkins/Brown designed University of Oxford Biochemistry Building featured in my recent #OxonArtweeks Exhibition. This one has never seen the light of day which seemed a bit of a shame.

This shot of the Hawkins/Brown Oxford University Biochemistry building shot was taken last year but somehow overlooked despite me now thinking it's probably the best shot I've taken of this colourful building. Sometimes it's good to have a look back through your archives for hidden gems.

The Biochemistry Building in Oxford.
There was a very, very bright reflection of the sun in the glass so I thought I would make use of this refection by adding a 'Supernova' effect :-)
I was surprised to find a 'Supernova' musical link on YouTube :-)

Coloured glass fins of the New Oxford University Biochemistry Building. Designed by Hawkins/Brown. 2008.
I love the colours.
The Hawkins/Brown designed Biochemistry Department of Oxford University faces approximately east-west so consequently the coloured glass fins on the side of the building look best at sunrise / sunset, adding to their spectacular colour.
If you have any photos of this building or any other Hawkins/Brown buildings, it would be great if you could join and add them to the group I started : www.flickr.com/groups/1933166@N20/

The foliage of Yellowstone hadn't greened up yet but there was no lack of color! Norris Geyser Basin was full of greens, yellows, and reds. Click here to read the information sign about the thermophiles that produce this color.

A 'thank you' to Darrell Godliman for the inspiration to try 'Flipping' again :-)
A recent shot of the colourful glass 'fins' that decorate the Hawkins Brown designed Oxford University New Biochemistry Building. This was taken during the 'Architecture' Oxford Flickr / Oxford Photowalk last month.

All agates are unique and do not repeat. We can observe many eyes on the mother body of agate - these are new nuggets (in geology this is called spherulites*) Silicone form of life.
In scientific geological circles, there are still disputes about the life of Agate. However, agate has been proven to be a form of life.
Agates - live, eat and breed. They have a male body (layer) and a female body (geode). Spherulite agate contains both forms. As a rule, the layer is the outer shell and skin, the geode is inside. But gobi agates do not lend themselves to scientific classification at all and show individuality, as if each specimen is a separate species, that is, they build their bodies the way they want and reproduce in different ways. Agate can slowly rearrange molecular bonds, turning the layer into a geode, without increasing in size. In general, the size for the development of Agatha is not the main thing. There are varieties of Agate that grow no more than a couple of millimeters. In geology there is no definition for these minerals, I called them "millimetres".
This form of life exists in another corridor of time. Human life is too short to observe agates in nature, it seems to us absolutely static. But in the DZI agate beads - a miracle! We can observe changes after they are created. It is safe to say that the bead is not millions of years old, perhaps hundreds or extremely rarely thousands of years old, however, the growth of the skin on the bead is obvious, as well as the formation of Dragon Blood, the overgrowth of cracks, the appearance of new layers ... This significantly narrows the time corridor for mineralogy.
"Carbon chauvinism"
This term is a consequence of the assumption that everything that can be called living must be built primarily from carbon. It is clear that this form of life is closest to us, so it is extremely difficult for us to imagine a different biochemistry.
The author of the term, astrophysicist Carl Sagan, criticizing this point of view, suggested that the basis for its nomination is only the fact that its adherents themselves consist of carbon and water and absorb oxygen in the process of metabolism.

This may well be one of the images I choose to exhibit at an upcoming Exhibition at Wolfson College in Oxford. Thing is it's possible to create four different variants from the original and I'm not sure which I prefer...... Does this 'O' work better than my previously uploaded 'X' ?

The University of Oxford's Biochemistry Department, designed by Hawkins\Brown.The new £49 million 12,000 sq m facility deliberately challenges public perceptions of the secretive nature of research. Elevations are transparent with research spaces brought to the external face, making a political point about the value and integrity of biomedical research.

Not sure if the coloured glass fins on the sides of the Hawkins/Brown designed University of Oxford Biochemistry Department building has a logic to them or if they're entirely random but they certainly make for a distinctive addition to the mostly bland buildings of the Science Area.
Winner of the recently announced 2011 World Architecture News Colour Award.
Just realised Hawkins/Brown don't have a Flickr group dedicated to their buildings so if you've got any photos of their projects please join and add them here : www.flickr.com/groups/1933166@N20

A square format crop of the glass fins on the sides of the Hawkins/Brown University of Oxford Biochemistry Department. If you're interested in photographing it yourself it's tucked area in the Science Area behind the University Museum.
PS Thanks to everyone that commented and faved my shots yesterday, it was one of my busiest days on Flickr for a while (still didn't make Explore though....).
