I took this as a snapshot out of the window of a moving express train travelling (I think!) from Interlaken to Berne (I didn't take notes on this trip). The map location is therefore somewhat arbitrary!
The 90˚ bend in the folded strata is indicative of some very considerable pressures being exerted on the rock layers. The multiple, relatively-fine layers might suggest sedimentary rocks but I can't confirm that.
I know there are even more spectacular examples in Switzerland but this was the best that I saw.

This reminds me of a neatly folded napkin at a very posh restaurant.
Much more fun viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)

In winter Black-capped Chickadees eat about half seeds, berries, and other plant matter, and half animal food (insects, spiders, suet, and sometimes fat and bits of meat from frozen carcasses). In spring, summer, and fall, insects, spiders, and other animal food make up 80-90 percent of their diet. At feeders they take mostly sunflower seeds, peanuts, suet, peanut butter, and mealworms. They peck a hole in the shell, and then chip out and eat tiny bits of seed while expanding the hole.

Thank you so very much for all your visits and thoughts.
The wild lilies dried up very quickly in this hot, dry summer. But before they faded completely, many of them seemed to fold in upon themselves in a sort of protective posture.

So on a Macro Mondays posting recently someone mentioned that they didn’t have a ruler and hoped their picture was within the 3” parameters. And I got to thinking about teaching my elementary kids about measuring —- you always have a ruler with you….
For most people the distance between the first and second knuckle on your forefinger (pointer) is about an inch - even on adults. Go ahead try it… For those of you using metric measurements it’s about 2.4cms…..
So now you can measure macro items with more confidence!…… (By the way, another equivalency - the distance between your bent wrist and your crooked elbow is about the size of your foot. There are others.)
And if you’ve stuck with me for this science/math lesson— wish me a happy birthday 🎂- yes, it really and truly is my birthday!!
It was my birthday last week and I was offered a new origami book :D (Origami creator 3 by Setsuko Yamashina)
So here is something very different from what I'm used to fold but I have spent a wonderful time thinking about it :)
Bamboo leaves are also by this wonderful creator but not described in the same book.
Waterpocket Fold (long red feature, center) is the primary geological feature of Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. Here is the uplift as seen from Utah Highway 12. Moonrise was authentic with the photo.
The Henry Mountains in the distance are named for Joseph Henry (1797-1878), American scientist and inventor.

When I was (relatively) young aspiring to be an academic, I used to believe that rewards were bad, because they undermine intrinsic interests. Early on in Nobu's life, I tried very hard to stick with this principle. But, alas, no more. Rewards do wonders getting him to pick up toys scattered around the house, etc.
So, on this trip, I told Nobu, if he let me do my homework (taking way finding signs in an environment), I'd get him a lego set (Nobu's obsession). He was quite patient in my taking boring pictures, although often times when I started to photograph something other than signs, he reminded me that I can only photograph signs. So it went on on the way to a shopping mall that has a lego store, and on the way back, Nobu mostly happy about his new lego sets (he always manage to talk me into getting more than one set).
When I spotted this across a street I exclaimed, "Nobu, it's so beautiful!", and started to cross the street.
Nobu said as following me, "No, it's not. If it's beautiful, everyone will be going `Ah, it's so beautiful, and be around it.' Do you see anybody around it??"

I had the idea of using the "diamond tesselation" to use as a spring, especially for a springy dog like this. I'm happy everything worked out. May or may not have been inspired by Toy Story.
Link to Japanese language video for this fun fold-over 2-pocket zip pouch available here:

Also my notes about it. There's an open pocket behind the zippered one. Finished at 5" wide x 3.5" tall when closed.
The Painted Hills in Central Oregon - one of the most amazing sights that I have ever had the privilege to see. Delicate folded hills with layer upon layer of the most gorgeous reds, yellows and oranges - constantly changing with the light. New forms and shapes are seen as shadows lengthen... nature as art.

Laziness is the reason for this shot!
Sorry, I know I am only cheating myself.
But we all get like this sometime's!
I will make a special effort tomorrow.
@Macro Mondays: Usually when I see the photo theme of the week, I get an idea almost immediatly. But this time I had to google for inspiration. In this way I discovered a whole new world, the world of folded book art. This week's challenge was to fold a heart in a book and take a macro picture for Macro Mondays theme " Crinkled , Wrinkled , Folded or Creased ". If you never have tried this before but have become curious about this folding technique, you can certainly find a video online. I followed this swedish instruction www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vhv7OzYjwE.
