This lovely origami model is called "Rain Star" or in Spanish "Estrella de la Lluvia", because when it was created by Aldo Marcell it was raining ;-)
I wanted to see what the difference is when I changed the color, so that's why you see 2 variations, I like them both....which one has your preference?
I put them on a mirror so you can see at the same time the other site.

A beaut of a butte, east of Lake Powell, on the far side of Antelope Island, which lies low in the foreground, shadowed just before sunset. Note the layering on the butte and the cliffs behind, indicating sandstones and shales laid down by sedimentary processes—completely different from the massive intrusive granite blocks in Monument Valley, which are remnants of volcanic activity.
The map location may not be accurate.

This was taken at Old Harbor in Block Island. Block Island is off the coast of Rhode Island and is a popular summer vacation spot for New Englanders. I got up early for sunrise, put my equipment in the basket of my bike are rode to the shore. The sunrise was a bust so I decided to look for other interesting spots to photograph.

"Football is two things. It's blocking and tackling. I don't care about formations or new offenses or tricks on defense. You block and tackle better than the team you're playing, you win.”
-Vince Lombardi
That Lombardi quote came to mind when I was working on this image, created from a TV screen shot of a football game that I was watching that was played in a snowstorm on Saturday. The shot shows Michigan State running back Kenneth Walker III (number 9) in the grasp of a Penn State defender, as his teammates attempt to block for him. Walker was carrying the ball, though you can't see it here.
Just for fun, I grabbed a few shots of the screen during the game, and have dressed this one up with a painterly look for Sliders Sunday. I'm also submitting it for the Our Daily Challenge "Begins with F" theme (football).

I was amazed to stumble across half a block of mostly hidden abandoned row houses in the middle of north Detroit. The surrounding blocks are mostly empty now. Just vacant overgrown lots and dark empty buildings.
According to the referenced wheel, complimentary blue-violet(-ish) v. orange-yellow and complimentary dark-red-light-green are paired here. But I think the purple & gold are also complementary.
The two blocks of subtly varying color against a harmonic background remind me of Rothko.
1968 Camaro. The 454 had to be an engine swap, I believe the largest big block motor available on the sixty eight's was the 396ci
Has this ever happened to you? I was all set to catch a nice view of the "City of Derailment" passenger train, pulling into Salt Lake City on the double track main. Unbeknownst to me, a ZLBDV intermodal was also on the approach, about about 10 cars ahead of the passenger train, blocking the view. I quickly repositioned myself in a desperate attempt to grab a photo as UP 4533's nose migrated into a patch of sun. See if you can spot the Rio Tinto copper mine . . .
"The life experience is composed of blocks. If we shall come to understand our blocks, we can live life to the fullest". My comment, interpretation of an exhibit in the San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art.
Rotated Blocks of Cambrian limestones and shales in landslide deposits on the sides of Shell Canyon in Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming are visible in roadcuts along US 14.
North Block is the Ministry of Home Affairs offices for the Government of India. The building has references of old Mughal and British architecture.

After a rather long and cold winter, our days are getting warmer again. The last vestiges of ice are melting on our lakes and ponds, sometimes leaving blocks or shards of ice floating on the water.
Il y a des photos qui font du bien et dont on se souviendra longtemps. Celle-ci en fait clairement partie !
En cette belle et douce soirée printanière, la BB7230, officiant alors pour le compte d'Intercités depuis quelques mois seulement, est vue en tête du train de nuit 3741 reliant Tarbes à Paris-Austerlitz. Le train, circulant sur Block Manuel et sous une belle caténaire MIDI plus que vintage, vient alors de franchir la petite gare de Coarraze-Nay et se dirige vers Pau.
En arrière-plan, les Pyrénées et le pic du Midi encore légèrement enneigés.
