Close-up of Stars among Hexagons, an origami tessellation I designed based on a geometric pattern I spotted on a door in the Barcelona Cathedral during my trip back from CfC 2 convention. A design like this is also often found in islamic art (usually in the form of interwoven lines rather than filled areas) and since this origami version is a rather simple design, I wouldn't be surprised if it had already been made by someone else before.
Folded from a sheet of John Gerard's hand-made hemp and flax paper.

This scene is a close-up taken in the locking room at State Line Tower in early 2000, the year the tower was closed and demolished after 103 years of service.
The front side of the mechanical locking frame is seen here. the vertical bars are known as tappets, and is connected to a lever on the operating floor above.
The various notches and locking pieces form the mechanical interlocking that prevents conflicting or unsafe train movements from taking place.
At the bottom of the photo, one can see pipe connections attached to the tappet using cotter pins; this forms the beginning of the leadout, and operates circuit controllers in the tower and/or connects to the mechanical appliances like switch points, facing point locks, derails, etc. that lie at trackside.
Close-up from the previous picture showing that the make-up is getting better even if the lighting was a little to far to behind me.
A close-up of a Great Blue Heron. I picked this frame from a series burst because the nictitating membrane is visible. The nictitating membrane is a transparent third eyelid present in some animals that can be drawn across the eye for protection and to moisten it while maintaining visibility. Some reptiles, birds, and sharks have full nictitating membranes. A few mammals, such as camels, polar bears, seals and aardvarks also have full nictitating membranes.
