Cube in black and white
I thought I'd have to miss this challenge as we are still travelling through çountry areas of Australia where I've searched for cubes but to no avail. None in our caravan also, until I spotted my perfume bottle with a cube on the top for the lid. Attempts to take the cube alone were pretty disastrous, so I've posted this with the cube on top as its intended use.
I realize this doesn't quite fit the challenge description, so if you wish to remove it go ahead.

The cube used by the Archangel Metatron to watch over the flow of energy connecting earth and the divine”. It also “spins with energy to help you replace negative thoughts with positive ones” and “reminds us that the universe wants us to discover our personal power and use it to do good”… or not

After getting a bit fed up with some fragile castle builds, I decided to take a break from that and step out of my comfort zone of building for a few days. After browsing some older builds and looking at some Dr. Seuss artwork, I came up with this: the Frog Pilgrimage to the ĆÜBÊ!
I took inspiration from the wonderful builds of Nannan Z., ForlornEmpire, and Si-MOCs! (I promised you a frog Simon, but did you expect four? :O)
Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level, since its main purpose is to optimise the space inside. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. The central idea of the cube houses around the world is mainly optimizing the space, as a house, to a better distribution of the rooms inside. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_house

A couple of weeks ago I showed the e-Scooter, here is its big brother the e-Bike. This bike, if you want to buy one, will cost you around £4,000; yes that is correct, £4,000; that is the equivalent to 8 ‘Morris Mini-Minors’ way back in 1969 (a reference I made to the e-scooter).Must admit it did appear to be an effortless ride for the young lady…..!

They are based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level; its main purpose being to optimize the space inside. Blom combatted the ideas of conventional residential architecture by tilting the cube shape on its corner and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. Blom's main goal was to create an urban area that felt like a village. The cube houses around the world are meant to optimize the space as a house and to efficiently distribute the rooms inside

Two-centimetre foam crafting cubes. Frame is about 5.25 cm across.
Folded (by my son) with yellow and green foiled origami papers. Each cube is 0.75 inches high and is made from 6 folded sheets of paper.

Just a fun shot, today. - How do you know if you're OCD? Well, one way might be.............
A while back, I was awakened in the middle of the night with THE WORST charlie horse of my life in the calf of my right leg. It was quite painful. When I had massaged it enough that I could put some weight on it and hobble out to the kitchen to get some ice to put on it (which usually does the trick and relieves the cramp in short order) I got out the ice cube tray and noticed that one of the ice cubes had popped up higher than the rest - sort of like a loaf of bread. Even though I was standing there in pain, I thought how interesting that was and that I ought to take a picture of it. I couldn't possibly disturb the scene to use the ice to relieve the pain in my throbbing leg! So I put the ice cube tray back in the freezer to preserve it and used a bag of frozen peas on my charlie horse instead. The next day I snapped this shot and then bid a fond farewell to the strange little ice cube in a glass of iced tea! : )
I think that qualifies as OCD!! - - - Oh, Flickr..... what you have done to me! ; )

Dance lime tree and church in the centre of the little village of Peesten, Franconia (Bavaria), Germany
Some background information:
The so-called dance lime tree stands in the center of the village of Peesten, next to the little church dedicated to St Mary from the 14th century and opposite the hunting château of the noble family von Giech. A dance lime tree at the same spot was already mentioned in writing in 1657, indicating that it was planted between 1550 and 1600. It survived until 1947, when it had died back because of its great age, the effects of weather, and the lack of care during World War II. In 1953, a new dance lime tree was replanted at its historic location.
A listed historical monument is the four-sided dance platform with its timber-framed superstructure, which is virtually in the tree’s "first floor". Beneath it are twelve octagonal support pillars from 1770, and it is accessible via a stone spiral staircase from 1837. The tree hall beneath the tree crown has an area of 87 square metres. The lime tree itself is a protected natural monument. The cube-shaped form of the tree crown is considered unique in Europe. In the region, lime tree festivals (in German: "Lindenkirchweihen") are an old tradition. During these festivals, young residents of the villages dance on the plattforms under their local lime trees.
With ist less than 230 residents, Peesten is a little village located in the district of Kulmbach in the Bavarian administrative region of Upper Franconia. The settlement lies about 20 km (12.5 miles) to the northwest of the city of Bayreuth and about 40 km (25 miles) to the northeast of the city of Bamberg. The name of the village is derived from the Sorbian word "pĕsčane" meaning "sandy place", which implies that it was founded by the West Slavic ethnic group of the Sorbs.
In 1295, Peesten was first mentioned in a document. For almost three centuries, the village was in possession of the knightly vassals of the family Förtsch von Thurnau. A document from 1516 reveals that two members of the noble Förtsch family, Martin and Jorg, divided their properties in Peesten, each receiving a manor and half of the village from Friedrich V, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach-Kulmbach. However, both manors were destroyed in 1553 during the Second Margrave War.
After Jorg Förtsch von Thurnau had died in 1566 and his house had become extinct, his sons-in-law Hans Georg von Giech and Johann Friedrich von Künssberg inherited his estates. Both families then divided the inheritance, with Peesten falling to the lords von Giech. In the course of the Thirty Years‘ War, the village was plundered several times by both war parties. In addition to the turmoil of war, the plague struck, almost completely depopulating Peesten. In the year 1634 alone, 103 people died, prompting the local pastor to leave the now-deserted village.
By the late 18th century, Peesten consisted of 36 properties, a church, a rectory, and a schoolhouse. Jurisdiction over the area was held by the manorial court of the noble family von Giech in the nearby little town of Thurnau, which also exercised local and municipal authority as well as lordship over all the estates. From 1797 to 1810, the village fell under the patrimonial court of Thurnau. In 1810, Peesten became part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. As part of the municipal reform of 1811, the tax district of Peesten was established, including twelve even smaller villages in the proximity.
With the Second Municipal Edict of 1818, the rural municipality of Peesten was formed. Administratively and judicially, it was assigned to the lordly court of Thurnau, and in fiscal matters to the tax office of Kulmbach. In matters of voluntary jurisdiction, almost all properties remained under the patrimonial court of Thurnau until 1848. From 1862, Peesten belonged to the Kulmbach district office. In 1976, the municipality of Peesten was finally incorporated into the town of Kasendorf.
Seems to me that Polaroid Round Frame is all about shape. The shape of the frame is what defines it. So when trying to figure out how to use it, the place I landed was pictures of… shapes.
