Although I very much dislike all this persnickety scissor-work, there's something strangely compelling in these models. The polygons have curved edges, circle arcs, that curve even when the developable surface of the polygon does not. It's like a paper globe where the flatness gets distributed more evenly -- a geodesic sphere made with curves, as it were.
A template for the persnicket-tolerant. (If you have sharp eyes, you'll note little dots where the connectors meet the sides. I find that if I pierce the paper there with a pin, the scissors better know where to stop.)
Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse in the London Borough of Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames that was originally built in 1599, destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614, and then demolished in 1644. The modern reconstruction is an academic approximation based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings. It was founded by the actor and director Sam Wanamaker and built about 230 metres (750 ft) from the site of the original theatre and opened to the public in 1997, with a production of Henry V. The site also includes the shell for a reconstruction of the Blackfriars Theatre, another Elizabethan theatre, due to be completed and opened in November 2013 as the Sam Wanamaker Theatre.
Snow storm...night shot...love how each flake appears as a small orb..reminded me of snow globes..which I love! I am certain there is a better way to go about taking night shots but I do not have the patience right now to figure it all out..
The post deregulation fleet of Globe Luxury Coaches, Barnsley operated a fair number of secondhand Leyland Nationals. During a visit to their depot on September 7th 1991 a number were out of service at the back of the depot buildings. Seen here on the left is PTT 87R new to Western National and UPE 212M was new to London Country.
Globe Coaches of Aberdare have always been well presented. Not shown here is the Volvo 9700 which they have but is a four wheeled vehicle. The only easily available model is six wheeled. Four wheeled models are available from China at a price of £70 to £80. Too much for now
Found this globe at the metro station at Kastrup Airport and just loved the colors. I don't know if it's supposed to symbolize anything.

The original esate at Trentham was designed by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, with the later Italian Gardens being set out by Charles Barry for the Duke of Sutherland for whom the esate belonged.
Let the great globe spin for ever down the ringing grooves of change...

The Snow Globe Jelly (Modeeria Rotunda) has a Red Gut that helps it disguise the bioluminesce of its prey. This combined with its clear body make the animal look like a Brain floating in a Jar.
ok, a confession/story: when i was growing up i used to spend a lot of time with my mom in thrift shops (charity shops) and second hand stores either buyingclothes or household items, and occasionally buying weird, random things that you could only find in thrift shops and second hand stores.
one day when i was maybe 9 years old we were in a second hand shop in stratford, connecticut and we found a weird, old black globe. honestly, neither one of us had ever seen a black globe before, so we bought it (i think it was $2.50, or less).
and now matter where we lived we always brought our weird black globe with us.
and thus began my strange obsession with weird, old globes.
i still quasi-collect weird, old globes. meaning: occasionally if i see a weird, old globe i'll buy it and put it on a shelf with a bunch of other weird, old globes that have been accumulating for decades.
here's my criteria for collecting weird, old globes:
they have to be weird. and, ideally, old.
they have to represent countries that don't exist anymore (like, say: rhodesia. or indochina. or the ussr. or east pakistan. etc).
or they have to represent things that make no sense to me (like, say: the moon).
somehow over the years i've randomly and accidentally ended up with a lot of weird, old globes.
and, self-involvedly and because i think they're cool and interesting,
Nine bands, each unlinked to any other. Borromean in the usual sense.
If a banded globe with cubic/octahedral symmetry has an even number of bands, it will have linked bands; if it has an odd number, the bands will not link. I have discovered a truly marvellous proof of this, which this text-box is too narrow to contain.
