This is the Butterfly, a tower that is almost completed in downtown Vancouver. I couldn't get too near it as there was still a construction fence around it. Designed by Bing Thom (now Revery Architecture).
Here is a link to the website, showing what the entire building will look like when completed. westbankcorp.com/body-of-work/the-butterfly
"'Hit me like a ray of sun...
Burning through my darkest night.
You're the only one that I want...
Think I'm addicted to your light..."
“Making something and sending it out into the world and then people not only responding to it but adopting it for their own and making a separate thing for it, that’s beautiful. It just shows you how much you can affect other people… the butterfly effect of everything you put out into the world.” – Marketa Irglova
"A ripple effect occurs when an initial disturbance to a system propagates outward to disturb an increasingly larger portion of the system, like ripples expanding across the water when an object is dropped into it."
This is not just a duck in a pond at sunset. It is a symbol of a phenomenon that we have all experienced directly in 2020. At one level the COVID-19 virus spread from one part of the world to everywhere very quickly like ripples on a pond. But not just the virus. The follow on effects of lock downs, loss of freedoms, jobs, security, pressure on medical systems, collapsing economies, all point to the ripple effect.
But ripple effects are not all bad either. In fact the same principle can lead to rapid solutions and even the healing of the world's woes. If we can find a way to create positive solutions to enhance the eco-system of our planet things can get better. But the choice is ours.

Re-post of an earlier photo. Kind of what I did before but I added the Adamski Effect and it turned out a little better
We were getting a lot of lake effect snow and squalls this weekend. This fishing boat was coming back into the Meaford harbour just in the nick of time.
The Labrador Effect
Back to my post from yesterday for HSoS.
First of all, I would like to thank all the lovely Flickrities for the wonderful comments on yesterday's topic - title wanted - , everyone could have been right.
In my tags I announced that there would be a second photo, actually I should have posted it the other way around, but then the story would be a lie :)
On an autumn walk I suddenly heard a noise and it was anything but heavenly. The little rascal growled violently and it sounded like this: "Don't dare to come closer, or my huge friend will hug you" :-) and indeed, there he was! I then went on quickly ;-))
Can you see it? It wasn't predictable, the Labrador Effect ;-)))
Thanks for visiting and time to watch, happy Sunday , stay healthy, all!
PS
The two dogs are very happy and live and guard on a small horse farm, with adjoining small pond, a paradise for anglers. I'm only sad myself because I couldn't stroke them.
Of course, this rock formation that my path took me past, in the middle of the forest near Děčín in Bohemian Switzerland, is not "the" altar of nature, but just one of many.
When I wander through the forests or mountains, I always come across places that have a special, almost magical effect.
Sometimes they are such impressive formations. But sometimes it's just a small hill or a tree stump covered in moss.
In such places it is always easy for me to transport myself back to the time when the forests still covered half of Europe and were the home of my ancestors.
I can imagine that on special days or on certain occasions they gathered in places like these to perform religious rituals or just to sit here and seek contact with their ancestors in the light of a small campfire to ask for advice or guidance.
In places like these I regularly spend more time than I need to take a photo and like to use it for a coffee break. And while I'm sitting there, texts like this come to mind.
However, I have never had direct contact with anyone from my ancestry. This may be because my ancestors lived more than 100 km away from here and the local ancestors learned from their parents not to talk to strangers.
Natürlich ist diese Felsformation, an der mich mein Weg, mitten im Wald in der Nähe von Děčín in der Böhmischen Schweiz, vorbeigefürt hat nicht "Der" Altar der Natur, sondern nur einer von vielen.
Wenn ich durch die Wälder oder Berge streife, komme ich immer wieder an Orten vorbei, von denen eine besondere, ja fast magische Wirkung ausgeht.
Manchmal sind es solche, durchaus beeindruckenden Formationen. Doch machmal ist es auch nur ein kleiner Hügel oder ein mit Moos bedecker Baumstumpf.
An solchen Orten fällt es mir immer leicht, mich in die Zeit zurück zu versetzen, als die Wälder noch halb Europe bedeckten und die Heimat meiner Vorfahren waren.
Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass sie sich an besonderen Tagen oder zu bestimmten Anlässen an Orten wie diesem versammelt haben um religiöse Rituale zu veranstalten oder auch nur um hier zu sitzen und im Schein eines kleinen Lagerfeuers wiederum den Kontakt zu ihren Vorfahren zu suchen, um sie um Rat oder Anleitung zu befragen.
An Orten wie diesen verbringe ich dann regelmäßig mehr Zeit als ich bräuchte um ein Foto zu machen und nutze sie gern für eine Kaffeepause. Und während ich da so sitze fallen mir dann Texte wie dieser hier ein.
Direkten Kontakt zu irgend jemanden aus meiner Ahnenreihe hatte ich dabei allerdings noch nie. Was möglichweise daran liegt, dass meine Vorfahren mehr als 100 km von hier entfernt gelebt haben und das die Ahnen der Einheimischen von ihren Eltern gelernt haben, dass man nicht mit Fremden redet.

An echo of a drop.
A quiet stillness.
Disrupted by its own nature.
Bringing a chaos that radiates outwards.
But why is chaos sometimes so beautiful?
And perhaps even necessary?
Take a moment to reflect about this: every action you have done, every step you have taken has led you to this point... It's beautiful chaos, isn't it? This theory is what they call "The Butterfly Effect."
The idea that even the small actions you do, have an effect on your life in ways we can't even imagine. So, close your eyes and realize the power you hold in your hands... Every selection, every moment adds to the storyline of your existence. Take a moment to contemplate on the beauty of it all.
Desolation is the framework for human ignorance that is rampant even in pandemic times.
The human being is the real pandemic ?!

Thank you for any comments
I avoided any curves when building the Federations latest interceptor to give it a sharp edged, aggressive feel.
No curves except this excellent new canopy in trans yellow that is. For this we have @pixarslightyear and Angus MacLane to thank for.
!!!! WILL BE CLOSED !!!! 27th July ... hurry up to go visit !! :]

This is an inland lake we camped at last week. The day was grey but it made for better light in trying to capture this flowing water. Studies show that moving water gives off negative ions which is very therapeutic for our health and well being when we are near it. This effect definitely put me in a good mood.
I captured this scene while observing how the low sun angle interacts with the forest environment. The scattering of light, known as the Tyndall effect, turned the air itself into a physical element of the photograph. I’ve always found that the "imperfect" qualities of a shot—the natural haze and the soft focus of the light beams—tell a much more honest story about the feeling of being present than a perfectly crisp image ever could. It was one of those mornings where the atmosphere felt as tangible as the trees themselves.
