The Church was built in 1799 on the former Caminho dos Pinheiros, today Rua da Consolação, with the help of alms from devotees to Our Lady of Consolation and with the endorsement of the diocesan bishop Mateus de Abreu Pereira were able to begin its construction, with the technique of taipa, quite common at the time. The oldest record of its construction is a document transcribed by Jacinto Ribeiro, in which it attributes the idealization of the temple to the faithful Luiz da Silva and his brothers. Located in a boggy and marshy region there is another document proving the Church's ancient existence: on November 23, 1803, an office was registered that showed the need for drinking water for the residents of the neighborhood "Nossa Senhora da Consolação". In view of the custom of baptizing the district with religious names, mainly related to sanctuaries, the Church, besides already existing, corresponded to an important piece for the functioning of the region. And, in the year 1810, a plant in the city of São Paulo contained the chapel.
Le Cisne Branco est un voilier brésilien exerçant des fonctions diplomatiques et de relations publiques. Sa mission est de représenter le pays dans les événements nautiques nationaux et internationaux. Il est également utilisé comme navire-école.
Il a été commandé par la Marine pour les célébrations du 500e anniversaire de la Découverte du Brésil et a permis de participer à la traversée commémorative de l'Atlantique avec un voilier.
Il a été construit aux Pays-Bas et a un navire jumeau, le Stad Amsterdam, naviguant sous le pavillon des Pays-Bas.
Il a subi un accident en Équateur lorsqu'il est entré en collision avec un pont à Guayaquil en raison du fort courant.
The Cisne Branco is a Brazilian sailboat performing diplomatic and public relations functions. Its mission is to represent the country in national and international nautical events. She is also used as a school ship.
It was commissioned by the Navy for the celebrations of the 500th anniversary of the Discovery of Brazil and allowed participating in the commemorative crossing of the Atlantic with a sailboat.
She was built in the Netherlands and has a sister vessel, the Stad Amsterdam, sailing under the flag of the Netherlands.
She had an accident in Ecuador when she collided with a bridge in Guayaquil due to the strong current there.
Each rhododendron bloom is a gathered colony of small, near-identical flowers—delicate, deliberate, and designed to draw in early summer’s pollinators. Their symmetry has both function and grace.
MLC Centre architecture cannot be overlooked. With elegantly contoured, stark white concrete, white quartz and glass, the façade presents itself as a handsomely moulded sculpture.
Harry Seidler AC QBE is a luminary of Australian architecture. Widely considered as the first architect to fully express the Bauhaus aesthetic here. The MLC Centre remains one of his most definitive works on the Sydney Skyline.
244m to antenna and 227m to roof. The MLC Centre was Sydney’s tallest building in Sydney from 1977 to 1992. It is currently the fifth tallest building behind the Meriton World Tower (230m), Deutsche Bank Place (240m), Citigroup Centre (243m) and Chifley Tower (244m). The tallest structure in Sydney is still the Sydney Tower at 309m.
Looking up at the award-winning Sharp Centre for Design at OCAD University in Toronto. Although quite striking with the 12 multi-coloured, pencil-like supports, I downplayed the colour as to highlight the contrasting shapes, angles, light and textures with this capture.

In France we say: "La fonction fait la forme". Here, one could say: "The form generates the function".
The Monostor Fortress - the largest modern fortress in Central Europe - was built between 1850 and 1871. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the neoclassical military monument is a fascinating sight with its huge walls of precisely hewn stone, the 3-4 metre thick earthen ramparts covering the defences and its network of underground passages (kazamata) several kilometres long.
Its monumental dimensions are evidenced by the following figures: The fortress covers 25 hectares, the total area including the firing ranges is 70 hectares, the floor area of the buildings is 25 680 m2 and the number of rooms is 640.
After the fortress was built, it served generations of soldiers of the Hungarian Defence Forces. Its tasks included the defence of the central fortress (North - Komárom) and the control of shipping on the Danube. It was never used in combat and served mainly as a training centre and weapons depot. During the First World War it was used as a conscription and training centre. During the Second World War, the 22nd Infantry Regiment had its headquarters at Fort Monostor, and the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments were stationed there. After the Second World War.
Between 1945 and 1990, the Red Army's Army Group South set up the largest ammunition depot in Central Europe in the fort. With their withdrawal, the military function of the fortress ended forever.
Today the fort is a popular destination with a military history exhibition, Cold War vehicles, a bread museum, a boat exhibition and numerous events.
Swallowtail, southwest France this summer. I liked the way the insect and the leaf have the same shape and pattern

Fuut voert veertje aan jong , 12 mei 2017
Futen zijn de enige vogels die hun eigen veren eten, meestal geplukt van de borst- of buikstreek. De veren vormen een bal in de maag, waar ze deels worden verteerd en gemengd met voedsel tot een bol die uiteindelijk wordt uitgebraakt. Deze gewoonte dient er waarschijnlijk toe om de ingewanden te beschermen tegen de moeilijk te verteren visgraten. Ouders voeren hun jongen ook veren.
Eng: When preening, grebes eat their own feathers, and feed them to their young. The function of this behaviour is uncertain but it is believed to assist with pellet formation and to reduce their vulnerability to gastric parasites.

the sun is a sharp chisel, carving light into the tiled floor.
the shopping cart casts a shadow of industrial purpose, a precise grid.
nearby, the soft curve of another shadow, drawn by an unseen lamp.
it shapes the space, an artificial sun in an artificial world.
between form and function, a silent geometry of commerce unfolds.

We've had a string of winter storms lately - good to be prepared and protected.

The Castle of Nagyvázsony aka the Kinizsi Castle was originally built in the 15th Century and was given to Pál Kinizsi, one of the commanders of King Mathias. Nowadays it functions as a museum and lookout, while archeological excravations are still ongoing. This photo is a moody version of the popular scene.
A morning still life photo made on my Sony a7Rii using a vintage lens from an Agrus C-Four. The old Argus camera wasn't functioning properly so I decided to removed the lens and modify it to work on my Sony. While not the sharpest lens I do like the quality of image it produces. It's lack of perfection combined with the modern high resolution full frame sensor is a nice pairing.
Looking great in fresh paint, veteran S317 leads container train 1845 through Lithgow past the last-built member of the 81 class, 8184, in October 2015.
Streamlined bulldog and good looker S317 was about to turn 54 years old, while functional 8184, the newest of its class, was a youngish 24. The first of each class entered service in 1957 and 1982 respectively. 8184 was one of four additional 81 class built several years after the rest.
The still functioning Signal Tower A of the old Boston and Maine Railroad built in the 1920's, still controls the Bascule Drawbridge carrying Amtrak and the MBTA's Commuter Rail trains over the Charles River from Cambridge into Boston's North End. Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

The Imperial City is a walled enclosure within the citadel (Kinh thành; chữ Hán: 京城) of the city of Huế, the former imperial capital of Vietnam during the Nguyễn dynasty. It contains the palaces that housed the imperial family, as well as shrines, gardens, and villas for mandarins. Constructed in 1803 under Emperor Gia Long as a new capital, it mostly served a ceremonial function during the French colonial period. After the end of the monarchy in 1945, it suffered heavy damage and neglect during the Indochina Wars through the 1980s. The Imperial City was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 and is undergoing restoration.
As a few have already guessed right, the little crank on the base has a purpose. The turning reveals an unique clockwork function in each castles.
I tried to inspire the motions by the animations in the Game of Thrones show intro, but kept it very simple to blend in with the castle design. Functionality is not one of my strengths so it was quite a challenge, but an interesting one.

I hope you like my series as much as I liked building it.
Your feedback was already overwhelming, so I'm motivated to work on a sequel for the next year. Stay tuned!
