boggles my mind to think of the number of uniquely sized and shaped beams required for this structure, and the complexity of the plans to put them together.

The Detroit News Complex was constructed for the Detroit News, one of the city's leading newspapers, founded in 1873 by James E. Scripps, and occupied by the News from its opening in 191 7 until October, 2014. The publisher of the paper at the time of its construction was George G. Booth, whose vision of the paper's role and importance is reflected in the building. The News Building is also significant as a product of Detroit architect Albert Kahn's industrial and office architecture designed for a highly visible downtown setting. The News Building's exterior sculpture and relief work is a remarkable display of sculptural and decorative art that contributes strongly to its overall distinction and cultural significance. The building is also historically important for housing radio station WWJ, Michigan's first commercial radio station, which broadcast during its early years beginning in 1920 from the Detroit News Building. The Detroit News complex meets national register criterion A for its contributions to the newspaper industry's development in Detroit and the early history of commercial radio in Detroit, Michigan, and the United States. The Detroit News complex also meets national register criterion C for its 1915-24 buildings and structures designed by Detroit architect Albert Kahn.

Radiolarian ribbon cherts in the Mesozoic of California, USA.
These rocks are tectonically tilted layers of chert. The dark brick-red color is from hematite (Fe2O3 - iron oxide). Weathering of these chert beds results in a ribbon-like appearance, hence the term ribbon chert. Chert is a siliceous sedimentary rock, composed of cryptocrystalline quartz (SiO2). These particular cherts have abundant microfossils of radiolarians, a group of marine, unicellular, non-photosynthesizing protists that make tiny skeletons of opal (SiO2·nH2O). Burial and diagenesis of radiolarian-rich sediments results in the formation of radiolarian cherts. These rocks are part of the Franciscan Complex (Jurassic) and were deposited on an ancient deep seafloor. The rocks got scraped from the top of a subducting slab of oceanic crust (the Farallon Plate) along coastal California.

O Complexo Ferroviário de São João del-Rei a Tiradentes inclui, além do trecho ferroviário São João del-Rei a Tiradentes – com extensão de 12 Km, em bitola estreita (0,76 mm) – em funcionamento como linha turística, as seguintes edificações:
1 - O prédio da Estação de São João del-Rei, apresentando plataforma com cobertura estrutural de ferro, de belíssimo acabamento.
2- O prédio da Estação de Tiradentes, caracterizado pelas linhas simples, sem muito detalhamento, com cobertura em telha francesa e plataforma arrematada por lambrequins de madeira.
3 - O Museu Ferroviário, antigo armazém de carga da ferrovia, anexo à estação de São João del-Rei, inaugurado por ocasião do centenário da Estrada de Ferro Oeste de Minas, em 1981, encontrando-se entre suas relíquias a locomotiva número 1.
4 - Rotunda de São João del-Rei, com edifício e telhado em forma diagonal, vãos em arco pleno, paredes em alvenaria de tijolos, cuja recuperação realizada pela Rede Ferroviária, procurou manter os elementos construtivos originais. Dos elementos originais foram conservados o “girador de locomotivas”, as linhas e valas de inspeção e alguns pedestais de pedra onde eram apoiadas as colunas de ferro para a sustentação do telhado. Nela acham-se guardados diversas locomotivas e vagões.
5 - Oficinas de manutenção, cujo prédio foi inaugurado em 1822. Possui máquinas centenárias de fabricação inglesa, em perfeito estado de conservação, que ainda hoje continuam dando assistência na reparação das locomotivas e vagões.
6 - O antigo almoxarifado e antigo armazém, completam a relação de prédios antigos, tendo sido transformados em Centro de Artes e Auditórios.
Entre as máquinas e vagões, incluem-se um total de quinze locomotivas, estando três em operação. As demais acham-se em exposição, sendo uma no Museu Ferroviário e onze na Rotunda, sendo a maioria de fabricação americana. Com relação aos vagões, nove são utilizados para operação de transporte turístico e os demais encontram-se em exposição ou aguardam nas oficinas por trabalhos de recuperação.

Description of work: The Circus was the large, oval track where the chariot races took place. A third of a mile long and 150 yards wide, the Circus Maximus allegedly held 250, 000 people. Inside its four-story facade, the Circus was a maze of shops, rooms, stairways, and arcades. The building is one of the most ancient in Rome, in fact it dates back just to the years following the birth of the city, in the course of the centuries it was enlarged more and more, till it achieved the present dimensions.

"The Sacred Family Chapel" on the grounds of a Seniors Complex north west of Cali on the road to Dapa.
This seniors complex was funded by the renown Colombian artist Fernando Botero, on land donated by Garces Giraldo. During my trip to Colombia in 2012 I could not believe the uniqueness of the chapel on the grounds of this complex. Upon returning this time I walked around the grounds taking photos of its peaceful environment and had the pleasure of meeting Father Ray Schaambach who runs it.

The Wonderful Barn is the best-known of the buildings in Barnhall, but there are more buildings in this complex. Unfortunately, the only point of view that gives you anything close to an overview us from the rear. Here we see, left to right, one of the two oddly designed dovecotes, the back of Barnhall itself, the Wonderful Barn, and then finally the second of the two dovecotes.

A ghostly visage on a cosmic scale, these remains of shocked, glowing gas haunt planet Earth's sky toward the constellation of Cygnus and form the Veil Nebula. The nebula itself is a large supernova remnant, an expanding cloud born of the death explosion of a massive star. Light from the original supernova explosion likely reached Earth over 5,000 years ago. Also known as the Cygnus Loop, the Veil Nebula now spans nearly 3 degrees or about 6 times the diameter of the full Moon. That translates to over 70 light-years at its estimated distance of 1,500 light-years. In fact, the Veil is so large its brighter parts are recognized as separate nebulae, including The Witch's Broom (NGC 6960) below and right of center.

This is a portrait of Mika, one of my favorite singers! His music always makes me happy. This stippling required a little more patience but I am happy with the result.
The Jameh complex is a veritable museum of Islamic architecture while still functioning as a busy place of worship. Showcasing the best that nine centuries of artistic and religious endeavour has achieved, from the geometric elegance of the Seljuks to the more florid refinements of the Safavid era, a visit repays time spent examining the details – a finely carved column, delicate mosaics, perfect brickwork. Covering more than 20,000 sq metres, this is the biggest mosque in Iran.
