The central foyer of Copenhagen Opera House holds three spherical chandeliers created by the Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. Each chandelier consists of several pieces of glass, which are semipermeable allowing some light to pass, and some to reflect. (Source: wikipedia)
A closeup on the side of the head and thorax of a blue-banded morpho (Morpho achilles), also known as the Achilles blue morpho.
being this close offers the possibility to see the individual facets on the very blue compound eyes on this one.
For a shot showing what the wings look on the dorsal side, here is one (of a different specimen):

*Updated February 2, 2012: According to Flickr, "The western hemisphere Blue Marble 2012 image has rocketed up to over 3.1 million views making it one of the all time most viewed images on the site after only one week."
A 'Blue Marble' image of the Earth taken from the VIIRS instrument aboard NASA's most recently launched Earth-observing satellite - Suomi NPP. This composite image uses a number of swaths of the Earth's surface taken on January 4, 2012. The NPP satellite was renamed 'Suomi NPP' on January 24, 2012 to honor the late Verner E. Suomi of the University of Wisconsin.
Suomi NPP is NASA's next Earth-observing research satellite. It is the first of a new generation of satellites that will observe many facets of our changing Earth.
Suomi NPP is carrying five instruments on board. The biggest and most important instrument is The Visible/Infrared Imager Radiometer Suite or VIIRS.

So many shapes and scrapes and facets in these little bergs. Quidi Vidi 'gut'. St. John's, NL, Canada.

Looking out through a window I had frequently walked by. The security guard was kind enough to allow me in to take a few images looking back toward the street.
through the many facets of time, we experience life : its joys, its wonders, and its sorrows. time erodes even the most resistant rocks and takes with it those dear to us, and the years of our youth. but time does not succeed in conquering our bonds to places and people we love. the inevitable passing of time reflects upon the joyous and the painful musings.
After experiencing the many facets of Mother Nature at the Yellowstone National Park, we had every less expectations of witnessing something breath-taking at the Grand Teton National Park (which hasn’t got its due credit of being the cradle of nature, due to its much famous neighbor, Yellowstone. We also had the same feeling. And then we witnessed this scene at the Tagart Lake, which left us spell-bound!!! In fact we drove ahead of it and took a U-turn one mile ahead, a U-turn I wont regret.
Not many people go to this lake (we were the only group there) because its not very famous and also it’s a three-mile hike, which can be strenuous. But it was wroth the trip !!
The lake was formed by the flow of glacier from Avalance Canyon, aided my disturbance in Teton fault, underneath the earth. Taggart lies in the foothills of the Grand Tetons and one could see the mirror image in the still and clear waters of the lake.
Hope you will like the pictures!!!
Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love, dirty like a sexually promiscuous girl
Pink Tourmaline. 1.15ct, 6.00x6.03x4.30mm. This one has some phenomenal color. The design is a variation of a classic princess cut. The princess cut was originally designed for diamonds and must be modified to work well with colored stones.
Check out the next image of the stone on my hand -- sometimes, these pieces just need to be seen against the skin.
So after the pictures of the Ronans, we decided to also take both Mitchells as Amet has the Dreaming and the Open Eyed Louis. So we opted to dress open eyed Louis in the period gear that would appropriately accompany vampire Ronan.
The Mitchells belong to the fabulous Amet and I'm so lucky because I get to gaze upon all this collective beauty. XD
These are the only characters we have multiple heads of and that was only due to the fact we couldn't stand the thought of having to send them off for face upping and not having them. T_T
They are also sporting face ups from Hearts_Murmur. <3 <3 <3 She is totally their fairy godmother.
Excerpt from artgalleryofburlington.com
Holding Space is an exhibition of over 1000 ceramic components exploring our multi-faceted relationship with space – both physically and philosophically. Hung from the ceiling, suspended on the wall and standing tall – raw, abstracted forms interact within the installation as an interface between our human and spatial experiences; the relationship between the lived and the abstract or conceptual. Holding Space uses multi-component sculptures to prompt visual explorations of Space as Emptiness; Space as a Conduit for communication; and Space as held Containment.
Excerpt from samanthadickie.com:
Holding Space
A solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of Burlington, Perry Gallery in Ontario, Canada, 2019/2020. The creation of this project was supported by a Visual Arts Grant from the BC Arts Council.
Space is where we live.
We cannot move without space. We cannot breathe without space.
We entangle ourselves with space and the space reshapes us.
Space is what we fill. Space is what we hold. Space is what we leave behind.
We are merged with the spaces around, between and inside of us.
My belief that our humanness is essentially rooted in relational dynamics provides the impetus behind using scale and multiples to create large-scale, multi-component groupings and immersive installations. As this attention to the relational is central to my work, dualities serve as a fulcrum for my practice and allow me to explore particular dyads such as subject/object, seen/unseen, individual/collective, viewer/viewed. Holding Space uses abstraction and expressionism to explore our multi-faceted relationship with space, both physically and philosophically.
This project considers notions of space with 3 assemblages:
STILL POINT
Space as Emptiness. This emptiness can either be experienced as a void, as nothingness, or it can be experienced as unbounded potential; the seed where everything that is new begins. Held in the palm of your hand or inhabiting everything that surrounds, this space holds energy, simultaneously minute and infinite. 1000+ porcelain components define the surface area of 7-foot diameter sphere, dissected in half. Each small component is hung individually with filament from the ceiling, creating a reflective and light buoyancy as the piece undulates in response to movement in the room.
Curiosidades : Probablemente, la clave del éxito de una de las rapaces más abundantes de Europa sea la absoluta falta de especialización en cualquiera de las facetas de su biología. En efecto, el busardo ratonero es un ave acomodaticia, que puede reproducirse satisfactoriamente en infinidad de hábitats y de climas, que preda sobre un espectro amplísimo de la fauna local y que manifiesta una notable tolerancia hacia el hombre y las modificaciones que este impone en el medio.

It's just a bridge, right? How many ways are there to stand by it, under it, on it, above it, apart from it, close to it? How many different types of days can you really plan to visit it on? Bright days and dark days, snowy ones, foggy, rainy, glum, warm, happy, cold days. Days where the clouds obscure all sun and the light that filters down onto the bridge is soft and even. Or days where lightning strikes across the sky or rainbows arc overhead. If we really wanted to get down to brass tacks then there are nighttime as well as daytime scenes to consider too.
Just how many ways can you look at a bridge? I guess you can stand back and take it all in or get up close and intimate, scouting out the details of the structure. You can concentrate on form or profile. You can render abstract or you can document. I suppose you might tilt or shift, vignette and crop. Would you use filters? NDs to lengthen exposures or polarizers to saturate the colors. Star filters and soft focus filters and color enhancers. Yeah, these are all options I guess.
But really, how many ways can you photography a bridge such as this and which camera will you use to do it? Your Hasselblads and DSLRs, pinholes and Holgas, subminiature spy cameras or large format view cameras? Old German cameras and old Japanese cameras and old American cameras to balance out the new German cameras and the new Japanese cameras but not really any new American cameras.
Are there really all that many ways of seeing one bridge?

“This is the time for every artist in every genre to do what he or she does loudly and consistently. It doesn't matter what your position is. You've got to keep asserting the complexity and the originality of life, and the multiplicity of it, and the facets of it. This is about being a complex human being in the world, not about finding a villain. This is no time for anything else than the best that you've got.”
― Toni Morrison
