On the sandy beach you find temporarily abstracts, a complexity of curved lines, light and shadows. And due to the rise and fall of sea water new 'work" is created.

During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.

If I was to show you a book on a specific topic, and it had details and photos to contribute to its distinct message to get across its topic clearly, and then I said that no one wrote this book, it just appeared out of nowhere, would that not be ridiculous, because you can tell by its structure etc that there was a mind behind its creation. Like wise but in a much more profound way the things we see in nature with its complexity and order, shows beyond any doubt the existence of a mind that's way beyond our finite understanding, yet clearly discernible by what's made.

Hermannus Boerhaave (1668-1738), great naturalist and director of the Hortus of Leiden, called this plant (1727) by a now disused name: Granadilla. His personal motto was 'Simplex sigillum veri', something like 'Simplicity is the hallmark of truth'. What he would have thought of the complicated symbolism of Jesuits in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with respect to this Passionflower, I don't know. It's called 'Passionflower' because in its flowering could be seen by the faithful the instruments of Jesus' Passion: the nails, the pillar, the whips and of course the triune pistil.

The complexity and beauty of a Common Sow Thistle flower. Similar but smaller than your average dandelion flower
The almost fiber optic effect at the back of this Kingfishers head made us smile!
The wind was just enough to part the feathers. and it was interesting to see how the colour varied along each individual strand of hair. The same Kingfisher can look to have different coloring dependent on the light,, and this exquisite complexity is probably a major factor why
A little detail that adds to one of the most beautiful little birds you can find
we recently camped in a wilderness area, where we canoed to our campsite. leaves fell from trees and landed in the water. i found this glowing leaf that appeared to be crying. life is complex. we hold many things in our hearts: grief and gratitude; anxiety and hope; dark and light; tears and laughter.

Elementary to high-density building construction is, of course, the stacking of houses. The Romans started doing it in the first century with their 'Insulea' (in Ostia Antica. There are still some ruined examples of them).
The multi-story modernist apartment building from a few posts ago is shown here, zoomed in on its yellow complex right part. It is from the end of the 20th with an ornamented/articulated front facade serving two purposes - decoration and shading of the sun (brise soleil - there seems to be a kinda Le Corbusean touch to be enjoyed here).
While editing the picture, I remembered the cover of Perrow’s Complex Organizations. After a long time, the book is still in print, though the cover has been changed many times. The book explores different (visual) metaphors of organizational structure and complexity.

The Daintree Rainforest is a region on the northeast coast of Queensland, Australia, north of Mossman and Cairns. At around 1,200 square kilometres, the Daintree is a part of the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest on the Australian continent. The Daintree Rainforest is a part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland Rainforest, that spans across the Cairns Region. The Wet Tropics Rainforest (that the Daintree is a part of) is the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest in the world. Along the coastline north of the Daintree River, tropical forest grows right down to the edge of the sea. In 2009 as part of the Q150 celebrations, the Daintree Rainforest was announced as one of the Q150 Icons of Queensland for its role as a 'Natural attraction'. The tropical rainforest ecosystem of the Daintree Rainforest is one of the most complex on Earth. Its plant diversity and structural complexity is unrivaled on the Australian continent and represents the origins of other Australian flora. Millions of years ago, the Australian continent was warm and humid and rainfall was plentiful. During this time rainforest thrived in places such as the Uluru (Ayers Rock) region. As Australia became more arid, fewer and fewer places rainforests were able to survive. In the Daintree region, however, the climate and topography were ideal, so the area became a last remaining refuge for the rainforest. Within this refuge, many species were able to live comfortably without reason to change. Their descendants that are still living today retained many of their ancestors' primitive characteristics, some dating back 110 million years. One species in particular, Idiospermum australiense, commonly known as the idiot fruit, is one of the rarest and most primitive of the flowering plants. Its discovery in 1970 was arguably Australia's most significant botanical find, greatly increasing scientists awareness of just how ancient these forests really are. From a total of 19 primitive flowering plant families on Earth, 12 families are represented in the Daintree region making the highest concentration of these plants worldwide. These ancient plant families may be helpful for discerning the origins of the flowering plants. 22261
A complex autumnal scene taken on a damp grey morning stroll through Hillock Wood. I had to wait for the wind to die down before taking the shot as the branches were moving about a lot and I didn't have a lot of light, but it represents what I saw.
Swinging back from the ornate complexity of the "Brocade" series and into simpler statements in both colour and composition. Another effort in finding new ways to give further expression to the Pano-Sabotage medium.
This series of 5 images was inspired by a comment made by Skagitrenee who said something like "I'd like to see you work in a more monochromatic way, with reduced colours". I had already been thinking that my next step would be simpler but Renee's comment clinched it for me.
This image, and the series is dedicated to her.
As I worked I also incorporated the use of "Gaussian Blur" for it's "atmospheric" potential, taking the crisp edges of the "Brocades" and softening them up in veils of evanescent, "cloud-like" light. In order to keep these from becoming some form of visual vichysoisse though I made sure to contrast part of the image with sharper forms in definition.

This Christmas bauble was hand beaded with sequins and pins by me. I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year.
Each bauble is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in this bauble are 5mm in diameter, except the stars which are 3mm and the butterfly sequins which are 12mm in diameter. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble. I always leave the flowers and stars until last, allowing a gap in the sequin chain to pin them in.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, however because it is a complex pattern which starts from the inside and is worked outwards in ever larger circles, each bauble takes approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
Taken overlooking The Hangings at Whiteleaf, Buckinghamshire. There was a lot to take in looking down into this valley and I couldn't work out to go wide or try and focus on individual structures, so I thought sod it and went the middle ground. Lots of characters jostling for space on the hillside with the sun making its presence felt at the top of the shot trying to burn off what mist it could find!
Another way to be awakened by the beauty and complexity of the word is to get a dog. Small Things like a plant that I had passed a thousand time and never given a second thought to. But the dog is curious. And the dog stops and wants to smell this and smell that. And the dog makes you look and focus and take the time.
