The Flower of Life is one of the basic sacred geometry shapes. All structures known to us are following this plan that depicts the cycle of creation. This symbol shows that all life and consciousness arises from one source.

My first visit to Japan was far too brief - just a week to explore Tokyo and Kyoto. And yet, it surpassed my expectations, demolished my preconceptions, and spoiled me with color and vibrancy.

These images do not utilize AI beyond basic de-noising and are original imagery with no items added or removed (such as errant leaves, pieces of trash, or power lines). What you see is as close to the moment as I experienced it.

According to a reasonably well-referenced Wikipedia article about the building, it was built as a Blue Cross Blue Shield building in 1958-1960, then remodeled with glass panels in 1982, after Blue Cross Blue Shield moved out. In the foreground is a yellow guardrail parking lot.

おおきに、こんばんは。

今宵も昨晩ご紹介しましたウインターサイクルキャップのお色違いをUP致します。

同じく起毛コットンに直線と曲線を使い幾何学的パターンを染め抜いた「幾何学模様 ピンク／Geometric pattern pink」です。

ツバ裏には同柄の色違い、ブルーのジオメトリックパターンを使用しました。

丁度良い生地厚の起毛したコットンを使っているので暑すぎず寒すぎずライドできます。

耳当て部も同様にブラックコットン製のホルムアルデヒド対策加工をしている布で肌に優しく且つ柔らかく耳を包んでくれます。

冷え込んで耳が凍え痛い経験してはるサイクリストも多いと思います。

昨年も書きましたが昔使ってた冬用サイクルキャップは耳当て部が短く耳たぶも隠し切れずに露出し寒い思いをしたので耳当て部は長めに、頭頂部は深く被れるようにしています。

週末はまた冷え込む予報です。

寒さ対策しっかりしてライドをお楽しみください。

それでは皆様かぶってみて宜しゅう～！

Next, the concrete blocks were painted, again and again and again, over the course of several decades.

The building is from 1948, but these concrete blocks were probably added later, right? Like sometime between the late 1950s and the early 1970s, right?

Construction on this grand mosque began in 876 AD and was completed in 879 AD by Ahmad ibn Tulun, the Abbasid governor of Egypt. Its design was inspired by the Abbasid architecture prevalent in Samarra, Iraq, at the time. Notably, it's the largest mosque in Cairo in terms of land area and is admired for its unique minaret featuring an external spiral staircase. The Mosque of Ibn Tulun is considered one of the most significant examples of Abbasid architectural style in Egypt and largely retains its original form.
