Rob asked me if I would apply a little Escher Droste effect to one of his images that he thought would fit the processing. Rob is one of the artists here on Flickr that I consider a master of his craft and I have admired his art for quite some time. I think highly of Rob, and when he asked me, I was quite taken and then when he allowed me to post it well; it's a scary deal, I'm not going to lie but I'm happy with the way this processed.
Atocha station is a railway complex, formed by the Madrid Atocha Cercanías and Madrid Puerta de Atocha stations of the Spanish national railways and a station of the Madrid underground called Atocha-Renfe. Renfe is the state-owned company which operates freight and passenger trains since 1941.

Better known as The 101 Mall.
Rila Monastery is the largest Eastern Orthodox monastery in Bulgaria. It was founded in the 10th century by St John of Rila, a hermit canonized by the Orthodox Church. Destroyed by fire at the beginning of the 19th century, the complex was rebuilt between 1834 and 1862.
Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate (over two tons flow into Mammoth each day in a solution). Because of the huge amount of geothermal vents, travertine flourishes. Although these springs lie outside the caldera boundary, their energy has been attributed to the same magmatic system that fuels other Yellowstone geothermal areas. The hot water that feeds Mammoth comes from Norris Geyser Basin after traveling underground via a fault line that runs through limestone and roughly parallel to the Norris-to-Mammoth road. The limestone from rock formations along the fault is the source of the calcium carbonate. Shallow circulation along this corridor allows Norris' superheated water to slightly cool before surfacing at Mammoth, generally at about 170 °F (80 °C). Algae living in the warm pools have tinted the travertine shades of brown, orange, red, and green. Thermal activity here is extensive both over time and distance. The thermal flows show much variability with some variations taking place over periods ranging from decades to days. Terrace Mountain at Mammoth Hot Springs is the largest known carbonate-depositing spring in the world. The most famous feature at the springs is the Minerva Terrace, a series of travertine terraces. The terraces have been deposited by the spring over many years but, due to recent minor earthquake activity, the spring vent has shifted, rendering the terraces dry. The Mammoth Terraces extend all the way from the hillside, across the Parade Ground, and down to Boiling River. The Mammoth Hotel, as well as all of Fort Yellowstone, is built upon an old terrace formation known as Hotel Terrace. There was some concern when construction began in 1891 on the fort site that the hollow ground would not support the weight of the buildings. Several large sink holes (fenced off) can be seen out on the Parade Ground. This area has been thermally active for several thousand years. The Mammoth area exhibits much evidence of glacial activity from the Pinedale Glaciation. The summit of Terrace Mountain is covered with glacial till, thereby dating the travertine formation there to earlier than the end of the Pinedale Glaciation. Several thermal kames, including Capitol Hill and Dude Hill, are major features of the Mammoth Village area. Ice-marginal stream beds are in evidence in the small, narrow valleys where Floating Island Lake and Phantom Lake are found. In Gardner Canyon one can see the old, sorted gravel bed of the Gardner River covered by unsorted glacial till. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammoth_Hot_Springs]
Yellowstone National Park is a national park located in the U.S. states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first National Park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowstone_National_Park]
One of the few parts of this old factory complex that actually looks like an old upstate New York factory, with brick walls and heavy wooden structural beams cut from trees that started growing two centuries ago (or longer).
This is on a top floor in one of the few areas that weren't converted to retail or office space.
The DC Tower 3 in Vienna, part of the Donau City Towers complex, reflects a strategic urban development decision that prioritizes economic viability and phased construction. Built before DC Tower 2, DC Tower 3 was designed to cater to immediate office space demands and to establish a financial and business hub along the Danube River. The DC Tower 2 is meanwhile under construction and will be finished at 2026.
The Wawel Royal Castle and the Wawel Hill on which it sits constitute the most historically and culturally significant site in Poland. A fortified residency on the Vistula River in Kraków, it was established on the orders of King Casimir III the Great[2] and enlarged over the centuries into a number of structures around an Italian-styled courtyard. It represents nearly all European architectural styles of the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods.

最近嫌な事が多く、久しぶりに写真を撮ったら没頭できて楽しかったなぁ。実は団地ってあまり入った事ないんだよね。超自分好みの被写体だったんだけどあまりうまくいかなかったな今日は。。。写真って猟りに似てるというけど今日のし撮れ高は低かった。でももっと日の光の良い時間にリベンジしたいなぁとおもいつつ。
A huge Sunspot group (AR-2192) has just rotated into view on the sun. This magnetic storm complex is Jupiter-sized. You could put 2 or possibly 3 Earths within the dark area (umbra) of the largest spot. AR-2192 is very active. Photos from SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) shows a powerful coronal mass ejection from this group while it was still hidden on the other side of the sun. This is one sunspot that will be worth watching as it rotates across the sun. Photo taken with a 155mm AstroPhysics refractor, 2x barlow, Nikon D300 camera and a Thousand Oaks Solar Filter. Photo taken from Columbia, Howard County, Maryland.
UPDATE -- see photo of AR-2192 three days later on October 21, 2014 at: www.flickr.com/photos/dragonflyhunter/15409289167/in/phot... and seven days later at www.flickr.com/photos/dragonflyhunter/15624691211/ and again nine days later at www.flickr.com/photos/dragonflyhunter/15457675397/ and finally at ten days at www.flickr.com/photos/dragonflyhunter/15654681465/

Luxor Temple is a large Ancient Egyptian temple complex located on the east bank of the Nile River in the city today known as Luxor (ancient Thebes) and was constructed approximately 1400 BCE. In the Egyptian language it is known as ipet resyt, "the southern sanctuary". In Luxor there are several great temples on the east and west banks. Four of the major mortuary temples visited by early travelers and tourists include the Temple of Seti I at Gurnah, the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahri, the Temple of Ramesses II (a.k.a. Ramesseum), and the Temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu; and the two primary cults temples on the east bank are known as the Karnak and Luxor. Unlike the other temples in Thebes, Luxor temple is not dedicated to a cult god or a deified version of the king in death. Instead Luxor temple is dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship; it may have been where many of the kings of Egypt were crowned in reality or conceptually (as in the case of Alexander the Great who claimed he was crowned at Luxor but may never have traveled south of Memphis, near modern Cairo.)
To the rear of the temple are chapels built by Amenhotep III of the 18th Dynasty, and Alexander. Other parts of the temple were built by Tutankhamun and Ramesses II. During the Roman era, the temple and its surroundings were a legionary fortress and the home of the Roman government in the area.
Pure symmetry is often an illusion – our perception of complex objects tends to “even out” the differences, unless they are overtly obvious, like the top branch of this snowflake. But why is that one different from the rest?
There’s a “scar” on this snowflake, a diagonal line right before the changes in symmetry occur. In most cases, this happens when something gets stuck on the surface of the snowflake during formation – another crystal or fragment of a snowflake is most likely, affecting the way the rest of the branch formed. There’s nothing that links the growth of the six branches of a snowflake – there’s no architect’s drawings to follow; there is, however, near-identical growing environments. Change the variables even slightly, and you can see the change in the pattern.
This particular snowflake has two additional fun features: a clue into the mysteries of “spoke” formations, and inward crystal growth. The inward growth is easy to see, with the lines radiating from/to the center. These are on the reverse side of the crystal, backfilling in the snowflake towards the center, increasing the thickness in waves.
Those spokes – the thicker lines pointing to each branch tip – carry with them some very interesting details. It’s easiest to see at the bottom and bottom-right branches, and here’s a close-up of what I’m talking about: donkom.ca/bts/DKP_8192-BTS.jpg . It appears as if this heightened feature might actually begin forming as two separate ridges, which then get filled in with molecular accumulation between them. This process is not always solid, allowing for bubbles to occasionally form as it fills in. On these two lower branches, it’s easy to see the pockets of air forming on the edges of this growth.
I don’t like this. This doesn’t follow the standard model of how snowflakes grow. I do not have the knowledge to explain why two separate ridges form and then fill in the gap, all the while happening internally compared to the outer footprint. These two separate ridges, however, would explain the often-seen parallel bubble lines which this crystal also features; they must be related. I don’t like it because I can’t explain it. There’s an answer, obviously, but it escapes me. Maybe I should just embrace the fact that no matter how much we understand about one of the basic elements of life – water – some things are still a mystery.

In Johannesburg's north western suburbs, shot from Northcliff Ridge. Map location shows from where pic was shot, not location of subject.
Union Mill Complex, better known as the Chocolate Factory, next to the Kayaderosseras Creek in Ballston Spa, New York. In the late 20th century the buildings were restored and converted into commercial and office space.
In this one sliver of a wintry Manhattan I noticed a slew of fire escapes nestled between several structures. From this angle escaping from a building seems amazingly complex.
The Taj Mahl "crown of palaces",is a white marble mausoleum located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage".
Taj Mahal is regarded by many as the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian and Indian architectural styles.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.
