Grid Girl

This wonderful little cottage was in the highest elevations of Wales. It was truly off the grid with a generator, water from a spring and an oil burning Aga stove. Every morning Mark would push the begrudging sheep out of that little front entrance so he could stumble over to the blue door you see and get the generator started to warm the freezing home and water. Our version of roughing it, but what spectacular views. Great memories shared with Andy.

There are some places where, when you are there, you feel disconnected from the world. Places that people that live there are so relaxed and laid back that even if you spend just a few hours at their homeland, you absolutely feel their slow and relaxing rhythm. One of these places is Little Cayman, the smallest of the 3 islands that make up Cayman Islands. You can drive and circle the entire island within 30-35 minutes. It only has one perimeter road and 2 roads across. No big resorts, fancy restaurants and touristy attractions. Just beach homes, lots of piers and a few sandy beaches. You get that experience from the moment you step in the plane that takes you from Grand Cayman. There is only one airline and the plane has only 17 seats. It's so small, that you can't even stand. Then you arrive to the airport, which really isn't an airport, it's just an airfield where anyone can get into the "terminal". No security whatsoever and that perimeter road goes through the airfield. If you ever find yourself visiting Cayman Islands, I totally recommend taking 1 or 2 days to just relax, absorb the Caribbean atmosphere and feel off the grid at a place like Little Cayman.

Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Kop van Zuid, Wilhelminaplein, Sculpture (slightly cut)
A structure on the Wilhelmineplein, facing the regional Courthouse which I identified as a sculpture, but I ain't sure it is. There are probably a myriad of metaphoric connections to be made between this structure and a courthouse. But I was not thinking about it when I shot this – the motive was purely graphic, as it often is ;-)

Do you remember my photo 'A work in progress' ?
Well, I finally finished the basic pattern. It is a very large extension of this origami-tessellation, called 'Start'.
It is the first time I ever folded such a large grid!
Now the fun part begins, adding the final pattern by altering the magical hexagons ;-))
Folded from a hexagon 43cm, grid 1:128, 'Anett'-paper.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
Shot in Special Effect in camera (no editing as usual) thought it was rather cool. Grid outside Commerce Court North. Not on ground - about waiste high. I believe the original building was built in 1920 occupied in 1931. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce a stunning building - inside and out.
When you take a piece of something someone else made and make it your own, it still has the spirit of its creator. If this is conveyed, then you really have done your job...
We had a bit of snow today and I just had to take this one, tyre tracks can create wonderful abstract lines. ©All Rights Reserved.
I do tend to like the geometric grid pattern, must be the cubical space planner in me.

Green and Black grid don't get too close you may radiate at any moment, ready to transport!! I took the photo "Industrial Green" and darkened it to get the grid black, really this is a playground walk way shot from below then flipped over in print, the sky was shifted from bright blue to green.
