No self respecting 55 year old should be seen in a dress like this. Fortunately, I have very little self respect. I blame the wonderful Cindy for egging me on.
Sauerbruch Hutton has harnessed the power of wind to develop a model of passive ventilation, creating one of the first high-rise office buildings to consume less than 100KWh/sq m energy per year.
The facade is entirely clad in a sawtooth skin of angled glazing, with each window separated by a slender, coloured panel, alternately fixed and pivoting. This forms the outer layer of a 700mm-deep double-skin facade, which operates as a “pressure ring”. Unlike a conventional double-skin system, the cavity is not ventilated by means of a stack effect, but instead by exploiting wind pressure and suction at the lee side of the tower.
During warmer months, the motorised flaps on the south-west and north-east elevations open to allow air to flow through the cavity, while during cooler times of year the flaps are closed, allowing air to be preheated before entering the offices.

The original Ironbridge in Shropshire is clad in its scaffolding as the repairs continue. A walk way with portholes allows a view of the works ....

Now spring has clad the grove in green,
And strew'd the lea wi' flowers;
The furrow'd, waving corn is seen
Rejoice in fostering showers:
While ilka thing in nature join
Their sorrows to forego,
O why thus all alone are mine
The weary steps of woe?

A model posed in the garden of Kinkakuji Shrine (Golden Pavilion). After I took this photo, someone told me she wasn't a maiko (a young geisha-in-training), but just a young woman posing in traditional formal Japanese wear for a commercial.

The Hungarian pavilion which was next to the UK one at Expo Milano 2015. When I visited it in May, there wasn't much inside except for a big hall with a grand piano (perhaps for recitals of music by Liszt) and many framed photographs on the walls.
You can see a small section of the façade of a very modern building with an unusual façade cladding. The window, which also has an unusual design, almost looks like a triangle...

Sie sehen einen kleinen Ausschnitt der Fassade eines sehr modernen Gebäudes mit einer ungewöhnlichen Fassadenverkleidung. Das Fenster, das ebenfalls ein ungewöhnliches Design hat, sieht fast wie ein Dreieck aus.

What I saw here were exaggerated lines, often expressed in illustration or comic books. I can imagine a Dick Tracy type character walking into this alley, clad in classic trench coat, hat, etc.

Most of the fences behind the Mundt barn are on the way down. Here is another in the series from the Mundt farm but toward the Rockies. I suppose they thought that the corrugated iron would help protect the barn. This shows the confounding skies that I encountered. Here behind the barn, I found better fencing although none of the corrals could contain live stock. Only dead stock! The Mundt barn and the Meining barn, west on county road #4, were built by the same contractor and both north of the Little Thompson river. Both families were related through marriage. There are more possibilities than the Mundt barn out here. I think that I see another shack toward the mountains. Time to investigate. I found several prizes.
eDDie always finds barns for my agricultural collections. I have passed this place any number of times and it usually had a large dump bin in the view of the barn. This was shot north of Logmont and the barn. The place is about as abandoned as the fences.
A great sky showed up for a while and I raced north but could have found better skies an hour earlier. Any sky dictated a day of trolling around Mundt with the camera. There have been too many blank and milk skies lately. Still, better than India's new all-time record high temperature — 123.8 Kochistan degrees. These are the Rockies but will fill with folks from Miami and New Orleans with really wet foot ware. Too bad that we are locked in now. Kiss it good bye.
