A typical house in a residential street near the city centre of Reykjavik.
Many houses are constructed with reinforced concrete, with corrugated iron roof and cladding, because of the high earthquake risk. Brick-built construction is not permitted, and timber-framed buildings were banned in the early 20th century after a number of serious fires.

A change from my holiday snaps. A walk around Crewe and I found this new copper clad building. It will be interesting to see how it weathers.

Stone Cladding, Bedford.
the terraced streets late Victorian Bedford were a gold mine for the stone cladding companies of the 1970s and 80s.
A wonderful array of telephone wires accompanies this subdued make-over. The decorative red brick banding of next door (lost beneath the cladding) is quite interesting.
Those About to Die Salute You, a battle on water wielded with baguette swords and watermelon cannon balls by New York’s art dignitaries, took place on Thursday, August 13, 2009 at 6 pm in a flooded World’s Fair-era reflecting pool in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, just outside of the Queens Museum of Art. Various types of vessels were designed and constructed by artist provocateur Duke Riley and his collaborators: the galleons, some made of reeds harvested in the park, will be used to stage a citywide battle of the art museums in which representatives from the Queens Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, Bronx Museum of the Arts, and El Museo del Barrio battled before a toga-clad crowd of frenzied onlookers. The event is free and open to public. Dress code: Toga. Live music by Hell-Bent Hooker. Beverages will be served. RAIN OR SHINE.
Audio from WNYC: In Queens, “Marine Mischief” and Comic Relief
Duke Riley has always been interested in the space where water meets land within the urban landscape and is known for art work that is an idiosyncratic mix of performance art, sailor’s craft and historical re-enactment. Upon QMA’s invitation for an artist residency, Riley’s life-long fascination with the culture and topography of waterfronts, and proclivity for margins - of society, history, etc. - were immediately focused on the decommissioned World’s Fair Ice Rink adjacent to the museum. The sight of the vast oval arena, a sea of refrigeration tubing and white sand, brought an instant association with ancient Roman coliseums that were flooded to stage violent naval battles or Naumachia for the delight of spectators in the Empire’s effort to distract the masses from societal collapse by indulging them with free bread and extravagant spectacle.

Isle of Wight. Another non-sunset/sunrise/over-graded/saturated image I'm afraid...I have just returned from a few days on the Isle of Wight running a photographic workshop. When I noticed this view after letting the students get on with their own thing I was immediately drawn to the way the structure of the pier had complartmentalised the light hitting the water below, pretty much as far as you can see...A few moments after making this the tide started to roll back in again and we made a hasty retreat back up the beach.
Still busy with a few projects on the go, though managing to flip through as many images from my contacts around the world as possible...when I can!

16S rRNA Maximum Likelihood tree.Phylogenetic tree inferred from an alignment of the 16S rRNA gene using RAxML. The branches of phyla with at least 5 representatives are colored, other lineages are all drawn with black lines. Support values are calculated from 100 bootstrap replicates. This representation is a radial cladogram, in which branch length is not proportional to time, and some branches may be elongated so that the names of the taxa appear on the circumference of the circle.

Clădirea ce avea să devină "Casa Capşa", situată în centrul Bucureştiului, pe calea Victoriei, la intersecţia cu strada Edgar Quinet a fost construită în 1852 de către vornicul Slătineanu şi va purta numele de Casa Slătineanu până în anul 1874, dată la care intră în posesia membrilor familiei Capşa, care vor face istorie, aducând locului apreciere şi faimă europeană.
La 6 iulie 1852 ia naştere cofetăria "La doi fraţi, Anton şi Vasile Capşa", pe Podul Mogoşoaiei (Calea Victoriei).
La început bunătăţile erau aduse din străinătate; ceva mai târziu, Casa Capşa a început să califice şi cofetari români. Negustori pricepuţi, cei doi fraţi au înteles că şi ambalajul vinde marfa, şi ocupându-se de acest aspect, au creat o nouă modă.
Grigore este cel care va aduce renumele casei, după ce, trimis să invete meseria în Franţa, la renumita casă "Boissier", Grigore a fost atât de bun, încât a fost singurul străin căruia i s-a îngăduit să participe la Expoziţia din Paris, unde i-a prezentat câteva din dulcile sale capodopere împărătesei Eugenia, care a fost foarte impresionată.
In 1886, Casa Capşa s-a extins: un hotel şi "Salonul de consumaţie", care va deveni celebra Cafenea Capşa.
In anii glorie ai Cafenelei Capşa, toti cei care însemnau ceva în viaţa culturală a Bucureştiului treceau pe acolo;
"Ca să devii scriitor, trebuia să obţii botezul Capşei, care, fără nici o firmă literară, era totusi redacţia redacţiilor, nodul gordian al trecerii spre nemurire" - spunea poetul Virgil Carianopol.
Pentru a aminti doar câteva nume ale clienţilor constanţi: Dan Barbilian (Ion Barbu), criticul Şerban Cioculescu, poetul Vlaicu Barna, scriitorii Liviu Rebreanu, Camil Petrescu, Corneliu Moldovan, Tudor Arghezi, Ionel Teodoreanu; Ion Minulescu era un exponent de bază al atmosferei din cafeneaua devenită "a scriitorilor şi artiştilor" dar şi a protipendadei politice, diplomaţilor străini sau altor personalităţi care ne vizitau ţara şi nu ratau acest loc renumit .
Este şi cazul vestitului mareşal francez Joseph Joffre, pe atunci general, a cărui vizită a generat crearea unei noi prăjituri de ciocolată ce se va numi...Joffre, dând şi renume culinar unui nume deja consacrat în planul vieţii politice.
In 1869, Grigore Capşa a devenit furnizorul Curţii Princiare, iar în 1882 al Casei Regale Române.
Perioada comunistă, în schimb, a afectat acest simbol deoarece nemultumiţi de amintirea fastului burghezo-moşieresc invocat chiar şi de numele localului, comuniştii au înlocuit gloriosul nume cu proletarul "Bucureşti. Braserie şi Restaurant". După 1990, vechiul nume i-a fost redat, odată cu restaurarea localului. Hotelul a fost renovat redeschizându-se în 2003.
