I was impressed with how balanced and symmetrical this pole and wires looked. Yet I'm sure functionality was their first concern.
Happy Telegraph Tuesday.
The Northern Lights of The Aurora Borealis form amazing displays. As humans through identify threat and food we begin to see all sorts of things within all sorts of often none related things. Pareidolia is the term applied to our making sense of shapes and patterns that brings an acceptance of a structure in an image that many will be also able to see such as either a face for instance, or maybe here a Dragon? The Dragon was visible forming and flying on all through one area of The Northern Lights of The Aurora Borealis that were dancing and continually moving.
As for the title, “is it better either One, Number Two, or Three, maybe Four,” would it be of no surprise to mention that I have seen an Optician recently?

An image I’ve been pondering over for a while. It was nearly the first photo to post on my return from the Lakes early November but for some reason I didn’t and moved on to other images, now with 4 seascapes in row it was time to move inland.
....forming one large head of gorgeous blue, I love a summer of hydrangeas in my garden.

Back in the corner of a barn stuffed full of all manner of junk, I've discovered this setup. It's a table with a couple of formed pieces of metal with holes throughout that I imagine steam goes through. And, then, there are all these forms for different sizes and shapes. I've never seen one of these setup anywhere.
El proyecto Metropol Parasol es una estructura en forma de pérgola de madera y hormigón ubicada en la céntrica plaza de la Encarnación de la ciudad de Sevilla. Cuenta con unas dimensiones de 150 metros de largo, 70 metros de ancho y una altura aproximada de 26 metros. Su base alberga un mercado tradicional y locales de restauración en la planta baja, una plaza de espectáculos y el museo arqueológico Antiquarium. La estructura se corona con una terraza y un mirador que ofrece una vista panorámica del casco antiguo de la ciudad.
La obra, compuesta principalmente de madera laminada, está formada por una gran retícula en forma de parasol sostenida sobre seis pilares que abarcan tanto la plaza de la Encarnación como la Plaza Mayor de la ciudad. Cada una de sus costillas componen una distribución espacial donde cada nervadura ofrece una curvatura propia, lo cual aporta al conjunto una sensación de movimiento ondulatorio. Aunque su diseño está inspirado en las bóvedas de la Catedral de Sevilla, por su perfil fungiforme, pronto recibió por parte de los ciudadanos el nombre de ‘Las Setas’.
El proyecto fue el ganador del concurso abierto por el Ayuntamiento de Sevilla para llevar a cabo la rehabilitación de la plaza en la que se ubica. Su diseñador fue el arquitecto berlinés Jürgen Mayer. Por su diseño vanguardista y funciones turísticas, se ha convertido en un icono del centro histórico y de la ciudad de Sevilla. En enero de 2013, el espacio Metropol Parasol fue elegido, entre los 335 proyectos candidatos, como uno de cinco proyectos finalistas del Premio de Arquitectura Contemporánea Mies van der Rohe que conceden bianualmente la Unión Europea y la fundación Fundación Mies van der Rohe.
Las obras comenzaron el 26 de junio de 2005. Las múltiples dificultades que surgieron sobre las obras produjeron controversias y retrasos que triplicaron el coste previsto de la obra hasta llegar a los 100 millones de euros. Finalmente, el Metropol Parasol fue inaugurado el 27 de marzo de 2011 y desde entonces se ha consolidado como uno de los principales atractivos turísticos de la ciudad, llegando a alcanzar el millón de visitantes en su primer año.

Il palazzo vescovile è un edificio dalle forme romaniche situato in piazza Duomo 1 a Parma, di fronte al Duomo; costituisce la sede della Diocesi di Parma e del Museo diocesano di Parma.
L'ampio palazzo si sviluppa attorno al grande cortile centrale, occupando l'intero isolato.
La lunga facciata principale e quella verso sud sono caratterizzate al piano terreno dal porticato con pilastri in grossi conci di pietra, tamponato in epoca rinascimentale; i livelli superiori sono rivestiti in laterizio e arricchiti, al primo piano, da una serie di notevoli trifore romaniche archivoltate, suddivise da sottili colonnine binate in marmo rosso di Verona; nella porzione nord della facciata principale, all'interno e al di sopra dei timpani delle trifore, sono presenti numerose patere in ceramica. Al secondo livello, a eccezione della porzione nord della facciata, in origine più bassa in quanto ricoperta da un terrazzo, è presente un'ulteriore serie di trifore, di dimensioni minori, oltre a due bifore nella zona centrale. A coronamento dei prospetti corre un alto cornicione rinascimentale in terracotta, che si prolunga anche sulla porzione nord, ove tuttavia è presente anche un elegante cornicione medievale poco più in basso.
Il nucleo più antico, affacciato su vicolo al Vescovado, è interamente rivestito in laterizio ed è caratterizzato dalla torre che si innalza nell'angolo nord-ovest, dall'ampio portale ad arco con cornice in blocchi in pietra d'epoca romana e dalle tracce di bifore.
All'interno il grande cortile è contornato dal porticato rinascimentale a colonne in arenaria del piano terreno, su cui si innalza sui tre lati opposti all'ingresso un elegante loggiato; sono presenti due stemmi del vescovo Sangiorgio sul colonnato e le sue iniziali su numerosi architravi. Sul lato est sono inoltre visibili le tracce di due trifore medievali, una delle quali, ancora decorata a tempera, conserva una colonnina in marmo rosso di Verona e un capitello in pietra.
Il Museo diocesano si apre su un'ala del palazzo su vicolo al Vescovado.
Watson Lake was formed during the early 1900s by the construction of a dam on Granite Creek. It is a reservoir for the City of Prescott, AZ and is located about 4 miles outside of the city. It is known for its scenic granite dells. The area has camping and picnic facilities, but when we visited on a late September afternoon we only encountered another photographer and a couple of hikers and the lake was remarkably tranquil.
Prescott is located in central AZ and at an elevation of just over a mile so it is both cooler and greener than the Phoenix metropolitan area. The city was the territorial capital of Arizona in 1867 and the downtown area holds on to its history with numerous small shops and restaurants in an area surrounding the Yavapai County Courthouse and park. One of the streets adjacent to the courthouse is known as "Whiskey Row" and apparently was a notorious red light district.

Fall and winter usually means dramatic sunrises and sunsets here in the Pacific Northwest. Today the sunrise was unusually colorful. The ferry servicing the island can be seen making its hourly crossing.

Zero Assoluto, sotto una pioggia di parole
www.youtube.com/watch?v=qn1MuuENNKA
Pioggia
La pioggia è la forma più comune di precipitazione atmosferica e si forma quando gocce separate di acqua cadono al suolo da delle nuvole. Il suo codice METAR è RA. Una parte della pioggia che cade dalle nuvole non riesce a raggiungere la superficie ed evapora nell'aria mentre cade, specialmente se attraversa aria secca (questo tipo di precipitazione è detta virga).
La pioggia gioca un ruolo importantissimo nel ciclo dell'acqua, nel quale il liquido che evapora dagli oceani si condensa nelle nuvole e cade di nuovo a terra, poi ritorna negli oceani con le correnti e i fiumi per ripetere di nuovo il ciclo. In tal modo si rende disponibile alla biosfera.
L'ammontare della pioggia caduta si misura in millimetri attraverso i pluviometri o pluviografi. In meteorologia solitamente 10 mm di pioggia equivalgono a 10 litri d'acqua caduti in un'ora su una superficie di 1 mq.
L'odore caratteristico che accompagna talvolta la pioggia è quello dell'ozono (simile a quello di uova guaste). Infatti, quando l'ossigeno atmosferico viene percorso da scariche elettriche (in questo caso i fulmini), perde l'originale struttura biatomica per assumere quella triatomica, l'ozono appunto. L'odore che segue una pioggia dopo un periodo di siccità viene detto "petricor".

Tulips (Tulipa) form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs). The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red, pink, yellow, or white (usually in warm colours). They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals and sepals, collectively), internally. Because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial. The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to Amana, Erythronium and Gagea in the tribe Lilieae. There are about 75 species, and these are divided among four subgenera. The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble. Tulips originally were found in a band stretching from Southern Europe to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated (see map). In their natural state they are adapted to steppes and mountainous areas with temperate climates. Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring.

Yesterday we took Jessie to her first ballet class. Does she have good form or what? :) Proud of my girl.
She loved the class. It's a once a week class for an hour each Saturday. It's a ballet/tap class, so we have to pick her up some little tap shoes too. She immediately took a liking to one of the other little girls in the class and ended up followed her around and partnering up with her.
Papa Meilland is a magnificent French hybrid tea rose. Named in honour of a Doyen in the rose breeding world by his Grandson, the now famous Allain Meilland, Papa Meilland has dark, velvety crimson coloured petals and a magnificent, strong, old rose fragrance. This rose was bred in France and introduced in 1963. I have two of these bushes in my front garden, and although white roses are my favourite type of rose, the Papa Meilland rose would come a very close second!
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “a single flower in black and white: a study of texture and form” was chosen by Beverley, BlueberryAsh.
Papa Meilland has such a rich red hue that when photographed in colour, you can overlook some of its other beautiful qualities. The petals are covered in a wonderful map of veins which make the petals look so much more textural in black and white. The shape too is elegant as it slowly expands. It seemed a suitable choice for the theme this week.
