For sheer diversity and density of wildflowers, there is just no place on earth like the meadows of Mount Rainier in the summer. I shot this at sunrise when the fog started to clear. You can see the morning dew on the asters in the foreground. I was hoping that the bit of clouds above the mountain would stick around but it started to move away as the sun came up.
Continuing my exploration of Birmingham while most folk are asleep in their beds (at least until travelling a bit further afield doesn't feel so exotic). The Cube is an eyecatching piece of architecture on its own, but I love how its modern styling contrasts with some of the older buildings that line Birminghams Canals.
Kunst am Bau gegenüber des Charité-Bettenhauses. Die Spiegelungen immer wieder faszinierend, wenn es auch viel Gemecker gab. Dem Bund der Steuerzahler waren die 450.000 zu viel. Hört sich auch heftig an, aber Tausende Kranke und Beschäftigte dürfen jeden Tag auf diesen eyecatcher schauen, und die vielen Passanten sowieso.
Die Arbeit der Berliner Künstlerin Renate Wolff trägt den Titel „Die goldene Stunde“, hergeleitet aus dem Fachbegriff für den Zeitraum, in der akutmedizinische Patienten in der Notfallmedizin gerettet werden können.
Bei jedem öffentlichen Bauprojekt muss in Berlin ein Prozent der Baukosten für Kunst ausgegeben werden. Das schreibt die „Anweisung Bau“ vor. Die Idee dahinter: Verschönerung des öffentlichen Raums sowie die Förderung von Künstlern.
Dagegen ist ja nun wirklich nichts einzuwenden, aber in der derzeitigen Situation wäre so viel Geld wohl beim Krankenhauspersonal am besten aufgehoben...
Die Wettbewerbsentscheidung fiel allerdings schon 2016.
Grange Over Sands this lunchtime.
Apparently the whole prom is looked after by an army of volunteers who get no local funding.......they do a grand job; it's really eyecatching.

In the depths of the backyard.
Today, a part of the yard that is undergoing a thorough transformation. The surface of the yard and some of the structures are already done. The old, dilapidated house in the central part of the photo is about to be renovated. The whole thing seems to form a neat, eye-catching structure.

The Institute for Sound & Image (Institute voor Beeld & Geluid) in Hilversum is a very eyecatching building. I am especially fond of this mysterious basement atrium, largely closed to the public.
Colorful facade of the optical shop in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
Perhaps the shopkeeper likes to do something foolish seriously.
Roughly speaking, more than 3000 sunglasses are displayed for the entire facade. This strange shop has become so famous that sightseeing buses sometimes stop by.
It’s a nice question to ask why this shop has so many glasses.
Management policy of the shop is to get a large quantity of glasses from bankrupt companies, or to buy the entire inventory from other shops to sell them at a bargain price.
Now glasses are too numerous to sell, I heard that part of reading glasses are donated to the needy people around the world.

Legendary highlight of the (even more famous) Portobello Road: even if you're not into jewellery or antiques, it's an enchanting 'treasure cave' worth a peek...

Common name: Gaillardia Fanfare
Botanical name: Gaillardia 'Fanfare' Family: Asteraceae (Sunflower family)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This recent hybrid of gaillardia or the blanket flower made waves across the U.S. with its eyecatching blooms. The astonishing blooms are packed with mini-trumpet petals on a compact, very free-blooming plant. Absolutely the most distinctive development in Gaillardia's history. Plants form a low mound of light-green leaves, bearing upright stems of large daisy-type flowers. Flowers are almost lacy in appearance. Plants are midsized with a good mounding habit.

Hi folks, I'm back from spending a week's vacation in France with my family. We rent a big house, about 100 km south of Paris. Great photo opportunities all around, I've made some great shots, of course in Paris, but also in Fontainebleau and in the region we stayed. Especially the large colza fields were eyecatching, as you can see here. More to come!
Captured near Vaux sur Lunain, France.

Only just managed the eight arches!
Stackpole National Trust, Pembrokeshire, Wales
E of Stackpole Home Farm.
Bridge built in 1797 to connect Stackpole Court and the Home Farm with the New Deer Park and Stackpole Quay. Built over a wier between ponds. Eight segmental arches of limestone masonry, with those at the centre slightly larger. The facing rings of the arches are in ashlar, otherwise arches are common stonework. Remedial iron ties inserted in places across from face to face. One arch has slight projecting keystones on each face, otherwise there are no decorative details. Carriageway only 3.3 m wide between rebuilt low parapets. The parapets end in slight wing walls.
Listed II* as a major eyecatching feature of the Stackpole Park. Listed also for group value with the other survivals of the Stackpole Court buildings.

The Naturalis Biodiversitycenter in Leiden (NL) is a national museum of natural history and a research center on biodiversity. This is the museum entrance hall which provides a unique overview and access to all the different floor levels. The look and feel of the architecture breathes biological discovery. Personally it reminds me of my teenage years when I searched and collected fossils. Very eyecatching from the inside and outside is the elliptical window pattern.
