Blurred, but still my best (most complete) shot of Barbara Hepworth' sculpture (plaster, 1958). Seen in the Barbara Hepworth Museum in St. Ives, Cornwall. When I say "complete" I mean to be as close as possible to the sculptor's ability to let the sea speak through her. The weather and light that day were very poor and I also was not well enough to keep the camera still. Yet, the formidable power of the sculpture will hopefully get through.
beautiful flowers in Sexbys garden at Peckham Rye Park..salvia hot lips..This spectacular plant displays striking red and white bi-coloured blooms on spikes, flowering from June right through to mid-autumn. This unique form shows a pure white tip with red hot lips; in the hotter months of summer it may have all red and all white flowers on the same plant. The aromatic foliage has a fine texture and small leaf, which can turn dark red in autumn
In France we say: "La fonction fait la forme". Here, one could say: "The form generates the function".
Apparu sous sa forme définitive en 1946, le Yak-11, sorti de l’établissement constitué en 1933 par l’ingénieur soviétique Alexandre Sergeyevich Yakovlev, est un biplace d’entraînement à la chasse pourvu d’un moteur en étoile Shvetsov de 570 ch. Fabriqué à 3 859 exemplaires en URSS et à 707 exemplaires en Tchécoslovaquie (type C-11, dans les usines de Kunovice), cet appareil a équipé les armées de l’air de nombreux pays de l’Est.

Back form a great holiday in Switzerland and Italy. A lot of people fly a long way from home during the summer, but forget that Europe has so much to give.
Our last stop was Cinque Terre. A famous spot that I always wanted to visit. Yes it was crowded, but if you hike a bit, you loose most of the crowds. As a photographer always the challenge to make a unique shot on a very popular photo location. I tried my best, especially using different foregrounds. Hope you enjoy and more to follow.
I always really appreciate your favs and comments.

2017 has already brought us a mish-mash of snow, rain, ice, warm & now cold temperatures!!! Looked like one of my bird feeders was turning into a little prison with the icicles getting longer & longer by the minute! Poor little birds! (Best viewed Large"

Not only the best year I can remember for SWFritz, but the best for the rare Valesina form too... Popping up all over the place. Nice to see them out of the woods in the open meadows... :@)
This Rock Pigeon rested for a few minutes on the railing along a walkway by the Norwalk River. I managed to get a couple of shots of the numbers and letters on the leg bands and with a bit of online research determined that this is a racing pigeon from a club in a nearby town. I sent them an email, but no response so far.
Silfra is a rift formed in the divergent tectonic boundary between the North American and Eurasian plates and is located in the Þingvallavatn Lake in the Þingvellir National Park in Iceland.
The plates drift about 2 cm (0.79 in) farther apart every year, building up tension between the plates and the earth mass above. This tension is relieved through periodic major earthquakes at approximately ten year intervals, which have caused cracks and fissures to form in Þingvellir valley; Silfra lies at the rim of the Þingvallavatn Lake and is one of the largest and deepest of these fissures.
The Silfra fissure intercepts a major aquifer, which feeds multiple springs at its base. Boulders and rocks falling into the widening cracks have formed caves within the fissures.
Today's forms of money have developed from primitive money, e.g. B. mussels or rice, which were accepted as a means of exchange in business life. Money initially belonged to the cultic and legal sphere and referred to "that with which one can repay or pay penance and sacrifices". Only after the 14th century did it assume its current meaning as a "coined currency". From the middle of the 19th century, the gold standard existed in many countries, promising the exchange of legal tender (coins, banknotes) for a fixed amount of gold. By the 1930s almost all major states had abandoned the gold standard. Instead of such a standard, monetary policy measures were taken by the central banks to ensure price stability.
Partial excerpt from: (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geld#Etymologie)
Geld, auch benannt als:
Cash (englisch für „Bargeld“)
Kies (jiddisch kis, „Geldbeutel“)
Mäuse (jiddisch meus, „Geld“)
Moneten (lateinisch moneta, „Münze“; vgl. engl. money)
Moos (jiddisch und rotwelsch moos, mous (Plural), „Geld“)
Penunze (berlinisch Penunse, von polnisch pieniądze, aus dem Westgermanischen, verwandt mit althochdeutsch pfenning)
Zaster (rotwelsch saster, „Eisen“)
Kohle
Asche
Pulver (gemeint ist Zündpulver; vgl. sein Geld verpulvern, veraltet: verzünden)
Kröten, Mücken
Entwickelt haben sich die heutigen Geldformen aus Primitivgeld, z. B. Muscheln oder Reis, die im Geschäftsleben als Tauschmittel akzeptiert wurden. Geld gehörte anfangs zur kultischen und rechtlichen Sphäre und bezeichnete „das, womit man Buße und Opfer erstatten bzw. entrichten kann“. Erst nach dem 14. Jahrhundert nahm es seine aktuelle Bedeutung als „geprägtes Zahlungsmittel“ an. Ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts existierte in vielen Ländern der Goldstandard, bei dem der Umtausch von gesetzlichen Zahlungsmitteln (Münzen, Banknoten) in eine feststehende Menge Gold versprochen wurde. Um 1930 haben fast alle größeren Staaten den Goldstandard aufgegeben. An die Stelle eines solchen Standards traten geldpolitische Maßnahmen der Notenbanken, die eine Preisniveaustabilität sicherstellen sollten.

Allestito all’interno dell’Ex Palestra della Gioventù Italiana del Littorio, il Museo della Forma Urbis custodisce i frammenti superstiti di una grande planimetria di Roma incisa su 150 lastre di marmo tra il 203 e il 211 d.C., originariamente esposta sulla parete di un’aula nel Tempio della Pace, in seguito inglobata nel complesso dei SS. Cosma e Damiano. Si tratta di uno dei più rari documenti giunto a noi dall’antichità, che restituisce un panorama unico del paesaggio urbano di Roma antica. Nella sua integrità, su di una superficie di 18x13m circa erano rappresentati almeno 13.550.000 m2 di città attraverso una moltitudine di sottili incisioni che raffiguravano le planimetrie degli edifici di Roma, a una scala media di circa 1:240. Considerata la posizione, la difficile leggibilità e la generale assenza di dettagli, è probabile che la pianta marmorea avesse, più che una finalità pratica, una funzione di propaganda e di celebrazione del potere, fornendo all’osservatore una visione generale della città e dei suoi grandiosi monumenti, le cui sagome erano facilmente individuabili anche grazie all’uso del colore.
Anche se rinvenuti a centinaia, a partire dal 1562 e fino ai pezzi scoperti più di recente, i frammenti della Forma Urbis costituiscono circa un decimo della pianta originale, in uno stato di conservazione che varia da piccole schegge a settori di lastra con interi quartieri, case, portici, templi e botteghe. Solamente per circa 200 frammenti circa è stato finora possibile raggiungere un’identificazione e un’ideale collocazione sulla topografia moderna.
In perfect form, CP281-08 banks around the old depot at Brookfield, WI during the late hours of the day, in a 3 train afternoon procession that had both mains in use for westbound trains. Special thanks to the birds for this one, I owe you a beer!

When it was time to setup for an evening shot, the sun was teasing me with light. Although present and to my left, it was timidly hiding behind a low cloud. It seemed to mock me with its faint glow, provoking a shot, then just as quickly hiding, as if playing some game.
However, I knew the chance for side lighting would come because the clouds had vacated the horizon. I composed the shot with the use of tiny puddles in the mud. They appear disproportionate to the scene with the lens inches away. But lead the viewer in. Then for a moment the canceled becomes the revealed, and the side lighting changes the scene, helping shapes take form.
Simple forms in art can be puzzling. "Is that all?" the layman quickly thinks, "What on earth is behind it?" Here, an influencer bends over the how and why. Without too much prior knowledge, everyone can see that the repetition tactic of 'minimal music' is brought to life visually. Variations on a fixed form amuse and sharpen the mind.
For example, the monumental blocks of Carl Andre (US, 1935-2024) seem strict and uniform, but no freshly sawn piece of wood is the same. Moreover, the layout on the floor has been played with considerably. The photo series by Jan Dibbets (1941, NL) joins this paradoxical game with forty colors. There is no system in it. He combats the uniformity with a personal follow-up.
All in all, the atmosphere is serene, yet lively. The visitor can wander around and sink into thoughts.
I have been fascinated for some time by the diversity of texture and form of the plants that grow on the roadside verges.
The problem for image creation is that all the leaves are green. However, with the latest selection tools in Photoshop it is possible to select individual leaves and treat them differently,
I am currently trying two approaches: black and white which emphasises texture; and, colour.
This is one of my first attempts using colour. I think the use of colour should allow me to illustrate the competitive nature of the enviornment.

RVYC was formed in 1903 as the Vancouver Yacht Club, receiving its Royal Warrant in 1906.
[...]. Our Coal Harbour home port is nestled into the shores of Stanley Park, a stone's throw from the cycling path, park trails, and downtown Vancouver - our floating restaurant there, the Mermaid Inn serves breakfast and lunch daily. The vistas over the bay from the Star & Dragon patio or the Marine Lounge's Upper Deck have given us the nickname of having the best view in Vancouver. www.royalvan.com/about
Swallowtail, southwest France this summer. I liked the way the insect and the leaf have the same shape and pattern
Con forma de castillo es, en realidad, un monumento dedicado a Cristóbal Colón y su llegada al Nuevo Mundo en un particular homenaje al descubrimiento de América. Fue construido por el Dr. Esteban Martín y Martín entre los años 1987 y 1994. Se encuentra situado en Benalmádena, Málaga.
El Castillo de Colomares es una fantasía arquitectónica que recoge diversos estilos.
Se trata de un pequeño castillo realizado y construido por un hombre de nuestro tiempo. Toda una obra arquitectónica gótica realizada en los años 80.
Es un lugar de obligada visita en Benalmádena por lo que enseña y por ver una obra fruto de la tenacidad y el esfuerzo humano.
Your Shadow is unleashed
with a sword shaped by lifetimes of courage,
and a map to a place no one is going to.
There's a faint flickering in the depth of these crimson eyes-
I will name you,
and I refuse to carry you in silence.
Sometimes we're forced onto paths
we ought to have chosen ourselves.
And maybe belonging is not a place,
but a person.
Eventually, I will- in one way or another,
maybe sooner rather than later.
Divination meets free will
when destiny is a mirror, not a cage.
And being wrong is tuition, not final verdict.
Fear is only the breath before transformation,
and I'm just awake enough to realize there's no escape.
But I was always meant to dance on fire.
And tomorrow has become today.

The St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel forms the frontispiece of St Pancras railway station in St Pancras, London. The station is one of the main rail termini in London and the final stop for international trains departing to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam and other destinations in mainland Europe. It opened in 2011, and occupies much of the former Midland Grand Hotel designed by George Gilbert Scott which opened in 1873 and closed in 1935. The hotel is managed by Marriot International.
The building as a whole including the apartments is known as St Pancras Chambers and between 1935 and the 1980s was used as railway offices. The upper levels of the original building were redeveloped between 2005 and 2011 as apartments by the Manhattan Loft Corporation Its clock tower stands at 76 m (249 ft) tall, with more than half its height usable.
The hotel is located in the vicinity of Euston, King's Cross and St Pancras railway stations.
