The course of the sun is the epitome of time. This impressive beech tree, standing on the edge of a chasm, can observe that process since many many years now. How many sunrises she may have seen already ? 40.000 ? 100.000 ? more ? How was the world like when she was able to whitness that wonder the first time ?
Der Lauf der Sonne ist der Inbegriff von Zeit. Diese stattliche Buche, direkt an der Kante eines Abgrundes bebachtet diesen Vorgang bereits viele viele Jahre. Wie viele Sonnenaufgänge mag sie schon gesehen haben ? 40.000 ? 100.000 ? mehr ? Wie sah wohl die Welt aus, als sie dieses Wunder das erstmal bebobachten konnte ?

The Museum of Contemporary Art - designed by architect Joseph Paul Kleihues and completed in 1996 - occupies four stories and 220,000 square-feet of space in downtown Chicago, making it the world's largest institution devoted to contemporary art.
Modern art galleries and museums have always wanted to tell a story in the usual fashion of linear history. So as a rule rooms in galleries tended to be set out in historical periods or particular styles. The contemporary curator however eschews all that, throws everything into the mix and allows the viewer to piece together their own story.
Now this is all very well for the informed art lover, but can be very confusing to those who have never studied art history. It's a sink or swim model, and the jury is still out on whether this approach is going to be successful.
This section of the QVMAG was recently renovated to allow for more works to be shown from the very large collection that Launceston has built up over 200 years (the settlement itself was founded in 1806). One problem for photographers is that the light intensity has been reduced to 40 lumens per square metre (for example a 60 watt light bulb provides 800 lumens per square metre). This is so the works are not damaged by excess light. But it does make getting good photographs of the works very difficult indeed. This photograph, for instance, appears much brighter than the lighting actually was.
Mostly like the American painter Thomas Hart Benton… But I wasn’t conscious of it when I took it. I love his sense of rolling motion as an image of America.

I've not taken a picture of the Nottingham Contemporary for ages, couldn't resist this one as I passed yesterday.
Contemporary echo of the iconic 'gallarija' (Maltese balcony) preserving in new buildings not only the trademark local style, but also the functionality for inhabitants.
(I just can't understand why they have to keep the spaghetti of wires in new developments :(
There are laws and definitions
And decisions and errors
And unforeseen conditions
That define the course of history.

Fashion Design District in Ghurnata | Curated by Mental Flame within the wider Heliopolis Design District led by Design Point Egypt
In this installation, contemporary fabric architecture rises against the backdrop of historic Heliopolis, creating a dialogue between old and new.
The flowing drapery forms a temporary pavilion that softens the rigidity of the urban fabric, while the heritage tower behind it anchors the scene in the city’s architectural memory.
The result is a spatial moment where past and present overlap, modern expression layered over historical context, revealing how contemporary design can reinterpret and coexist with heritage rather than replace it.
