That's pure concept art. I'll try to explain you the vision.
Imagine you're far out in the future, on any planet anywhere in the far space. There the humans found robots of a higher civilisation, but no lifeforms, named the creators of these robots. These robots are called "Techno-Kleriker" and they have the form of absolute balls. Nobody knows what maybe in the inner of them, how it looks and how they are build. The outer form of this "Techno-Kleriker" can pulse, become smaller and bigger. More about this it's reflecting all around it.
The story isn't my vision, you can read more about it at SciFi-World.de if you understand germen language.
My concept and idea now is the station (the podest) where the big "Techno-Kleriker" can be stabilized to be filled with energy or to be checked by the smaller working ones.
It's also my concept to create the very technical look with the outer sphere of bits & bytes, but more about this i've designed some ones which looks more organic.
That's all for the moment, more will follow ;)
I do wish I had more time to get some candid shots and stranger shots at Devils Tower. We were running behind due to waiting on all the family to arrive and since I was not alone, I had to be considerate of others, :-)

"Aren´t we flying somewhat low sir?"
"Yes."
"Ahem....shouldn´t you do something about that? Please? Looks like we will hit that balcony within seconds."
"No worries. I need to fly below the radar. Have some more luggage than just you guys."
"Luggage? What luggage?"
"Errhm...ecological, vegetable luggage sort of. Nothing to worry about."
"WHAT?"
"Well, look where I´m pointing. If you want, you can just jump out and land in lukewarm water 30 feet down."
"Gotcha."
This morning we took advantage of Aiden smiling and 'talking' and got a video of him explaining his dreams to us. Too cute!

Kathy Dalwood's wonderful "Ballroom Banquet" at the Holburne Museum in Bath.
for the artist's own take on the show see her blog here:
The Government has announced £20bn of extra money for the NHS – but has yet to explain how it will pay for it. One option that has gained considerable currency is a dedicated tax for the NHS (hypothecation).
At this event, leading figures debated the pros and cons of breaking years of Treasury orthodoxy.
In favour of hypothecation:
Lord Nick Macpherson, crossbench Peer and former Permanent Secretary to the Treasury
Dr Clare Gerada, former Chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners
Nick Boles MP, Conservative MP for Grantham and Stamford since 2010
Opposing hypothecation:
Dame Minouche Shafik, Director of the London School of Economics and former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England
Mark Pearson, Deputy Director of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs at the OECD
Rushanara Ali, Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Bow since 2010
The debate was moderated by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government and summarised by Anita Charlesworth, Director of Research and Economics at the Health Foundation.

Charts similar to this are used to demonstrate relatedness according to Neo-Darwinistic Evolution. Lines are drawn based on observed similarities not only in physical features, but also in their assembly instructions. However, no explanation is offered to explain differences. The XR6 and XR8, for example, are in many ways identical, but changing a six cylinder motor into an eight cylinder motor gradually, step by step, is impossible.

Prior to the 1996 riposte by a Senator to the question of xenophobia as please explain a former Prime Minister had in 1992 labelled the Senate as unrepresentative swill. Never a chamber of greatness, just of review and opinions, they have improved since 1996. Still, their sub-optimal talent, except for some beacons of hope make it look as dull and uniform as the granite which clads two wings of the New Parliament House. This is it; up close.
I'm not really here to bag the Senate; that's too easy a target. Instead I'm here for a tour of parliamentary geology. That's right — geology. Under the encumbent mob you'd be excused for supposing I said theology. There are things older still than that antedeluvian mob, even if those things aren't as backward, unevolved and bland.
Where the New Parliament House stands there was once a perfectly good hill, and useful as hills go it was too. This was Capital Hill. On Capital Hill, as well as the foundation stone of the city of Canberra there were some altogether older stones, and some just a smidgen younger than the oldest ones. Australia had been a bit of mess in the Silurian Period. It was a bit of a construction site where something big had whacked into the side and pushed up some hills of its own. If you've ever piled something up you'll know gravity wants to pull it all down again; spoilsport that it is. Guess what? That's just what happened and so the State Circle Shale was formed. Then things got really serious and those new shales, along with the Black Mountain Sandstone on top of them, got tipped up as Australia's corset was tightened further. More weathering, erosion and pesky gravity later and another bunch of rocks, the Camp Hill Sandstone, were laid down over the lot. More uplift, tilting, erosion etcetera later and we had Camp Hill. Probably not as famous as the Hutton Unconformity at Inchbonny, but nevertheless, here in the middle of a city was an even more interesting and quite flashy example of deep time, orogenesis, blah, blah, blah…contained in an easily accessible unconformity.
Building New Parliament House required the excavation of roughly a million cubic metres of rock — the previously mentioned Capital Hill. With it went almost, but not quite all, of the unconformity between the Black Mountain Sandstone and Camp Hill Sandstone. Down below in the undercroft of this wastrel edifice, among all the dust and rubble, under the ventilation ducts, the buildings hydraulics and so on is a perfectly preserved chunk of that outstanding geology. This is why I am here. I cannot show you a photograph: phones, cameras etcetera are not allowed for security reasons. Honestly, it didn't work for Guy Fawkes, and blowing this lot up would be a waste of a good building, some classic geology and the explosives.
Further down the hill the circular road, unimaginatively named State Circle, cuts through the just a bit younger than Black Mountain Sandstone's successor, State Circle Shale, on which the Camp Hill Sandstone sits and can still be seen by public gaze. I promise, one day I'll post an image of that delight so you don't feel wholly left out.
Now back to xenophobia. It's Greek in origin; the word, although perhaps the concept too. I don't know. Because scientists liked to sound all clever they called the black blob in this image a xenolith, a foreign rock. This one is in the frankly pretty uniform and drab Eugowra Granite cladding of the New Parliament House. It adds character. People still argue about how to make a granite. Nobody has even seen one born. It always happens deep underground where we aren't welcome. Unlike your spitty, spewy volcanoes, it seems granites don't really have the runs. The mavens of granite now suppose that rather than a liquid blob squirting up into what they might call the country rock, granites are emplaced more as a gravitationally and chemically unstable mush of crystals, liquids and gases. Where the xenoliths were supposed to be bits broken off from the intruded country rock, now they are known to be something completely different. That unstable mush is generated by the heating up of rocks deep within the Earth by all manner of Nature's witchery. The more susceptible to melting and dissolving bits separate out. But bits of the more stable, left behind until now stuff get entrained with the gravitationally unstable intrusive blob. One of the really clever things about granites is how their fluidity is enabled by a flux of fluids. These fluids are held in by the pressure of the overburden until the point where the pressure of the fluids exceed the Earth's ability to hold it in, like Australia's corset giving way. When that happens, the granite freezes, it's chemistry changes a bit and if those bits of entrained stuff aren't quite in chemical equilibrium they can get a halo around them that is a bit neither one thing or the other.
For a while geologists, or maybe they were "Earth scientists", went all PC and stopped calling them xenoliths. Instead they called them enclaves. Thankfully that silliness seems to have abated. There's enough problems with the occupants of this grey clad house hating foreigners without giving them any hint that there might be enclaves of the buggers too.
Have I ever told you how much I despise estate agents? How I think that they are money-grubbing scum who make money by dubious lying and cheating?
I can't even make this mean anything by adding punctuation.
It seems that I can add "terrible use of English" and "Jumping on the environmental bandwaggon" to my reasons for hating them.
