a poem about whisky and love by my poet AI
In the hush between the rain on the roof,
you pour the gold—slow, deliberate—
as though time itself might spill
if your hand trembled.
The air blooms with peat and smoke,
a whisper of heather carried from far hills,
and I taste the years it has slept in oak,
each drop a memory older than us.
Your eyes catch the lamplight the way
the whisky does—deep, unhurried,
holding shadows and fire in the same breath.
We drink, and the silence grows warm.
Outside, the night leans closer,
but here, the world is distilled to two hearts,
a single malt between us—
and the slow burn of something
that will not fade.
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 in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom. 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

The Cube Houses by Piet Blom are one of the most famous Rotterdam landmarks.
This is a new version of one of my favourite 'flipped' shots created for this years CIOB 'Art of Building' photo competition. The original version was slightly darker and over saturated so I took the opportunity to tweak it a bit.

Worth going to Rotterdam to see these incredibly cool, impossible-looking houses. Looking up creates some great patterns.
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! ; )

LEONARDO GLASS CUBE Germany 2015
whole project in high res: www.philipgunkel.de/showroom/architektur/leonardo-glass-cube
I am so happy to finally share my latest huge architectural portfolio project with you I did back in april in cooperation with Leonardo in Bad Driburg,
Germany to extend my architectural portfolio one more time. I really loved the overall architectural design from the very first time I saw it. The all natural looking
flowing forms and curves and the white, abstract designed structures together with awesome interior light installations create a very calm and positive atmosphere.
One other highlight is the 6m tall free standing glassfacade, which was produced by Leonardo and foliated with analog medium format landscape prints that you can see from the inside.
On location I shot this building for four days plus another day for the inside. Postprocessing all 23 photos including a lot of manual blendings, color corrections
and some heavy manual pano stitchings took about two and a half month to finish, maybe about two hours a day ~ 150 hrs total. As always I am highly interested what do you think about it and feel free to share and spread the word !
The ‘glass cube’ communicates the world and personality of the brand LEONARDO and turns vision into reality. The numerously awarded design unites the brand values ‘inspiration’, ‘emotion’ and ‘quality’ in an architectonic way.
An interdisciplinary design team,the team of architects from ‘3deluxe’ designed the futuristic building for LEONARDO which consists (at first sight) of two opposing elements: a strict geometric cube and a free form made of curved, white walls, set in this cover. With the combination of architecture, interior and graphical design as well as landscaping to an integrated design concept, ‘3deluxe’ built a complex unit with futuristic charm. The design team ‘3deluxe’ formed up in Wiesbaden (Germany) in 1992, comprising of communication designers Andreas and Stephan Lauhoff, interior designer Nikolaus Schweiger and designer Dieter Brell.
Construction Facts:
tart of construction: 04 | 2004 Construction period: until 24th May 2007 Inside area: 2.800 sq. m Outside area: 5.600 sq. m Height of building: 11m – above ground: 7m Height of glass plates: 6m, width: 2m Height ratio inside: 6m above ground Connection between both floor levels by stairs and elevator Glass façade free from post 36m per side 3 ‘genetics’ inside: 6m high sculptural 3D connection elements of the building zones 187 white elements, 700 sq. m as 2D road network in the outside area

"The Enrichment Center reminds you that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak."
By the way, I have no idea what that means, Gabe just told me to put it :P
Also, I've never actually played this game but I found a connection that seemed to work for this cube, so this is the result.

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.

Here I used stroboscopic (multi) flash mode while spinning the Rubik's cube to emphasise the process of solving it.
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.

In the days of pocket film cameras (instamatics etc) when flash was needed a flash bulb was used. A step towards recharging flash guns was the introduction of the Flash Cube, which had 4 flash bulbs built in. After the 4th one was used, the whole cube was disposed of.
Each face of the cube meanures 1 sq inch.
