The Helix Nebula is an example of a planetary nebula. Though it looks like a bubble or eye from Earth’s point of view, the Helix is actually a trillion-mile-long tunnel of glowing gases. In its center lies a white dwarf star.

who knows where Frank Lloyd Wright got the inspiration for his Guggenheim-Museum ;-) ... ?
The Rundetaarn, or Rundetårn (Round Tower in English), is a 17th-century tower located in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
One of the many architectural projects of Christian IV, it was built as an astronomical observatory.
It is most noted for its equestrian staircase, a 7.5-turn helical corridor leading to the top, and for the expansive views it affords over Copenhagen.
The tower is part of the Trinitatis Complex which also provided the scholars of the time with a university chapel, the Trinitatis Church, and an academic library which was the first purpose-built facilities of the Copenhagen University Library which had been founded in 1482.
Today the Round Tower serves as an observation tower for expansive views of Copenhagen, a public astronomical observatory and a historical monument. In the same time the Library Hall, located above the church and only accessible along the tower's ramp, is an active cultural venue with both exhibitions and a busy concert schedule.
Der Rundetårn, dänisch für Runder Turm, ist ein Turm im Stadtzentrum Kopenhagens.
König Christian IV. ließ ihn 1637 bis 1642 nach Plänen des Architekten Hans van Steenwinckel d. J. errichten.
Er diente bis 1861 als Observatorium der Universität Kopenhagen.
Er beherbergt heute noch das älteste funktionsfähige Observatorium Europas.
Er ist verbunden mit der alten Universitätsbibliothek und der Dreifaltigkeitskirche, die in den Jahrzehnten nach dem Turmbau errichtet wurden.
Der kreisrunde Turm besitzt einen Durchmesser von etwa 15 m und eine Höhe von 34,8 m.
Bestiegen wird er, abgesehen von den letzten Metern vom Aussichtsbereich zum Observatorium, nicht über Treppen, sondern über einen 209 m langen, spiralförmigen Gang, der sich in siebeneinhalb vollen Drehungen um die Turmmitte windet.
Diese Reittreppe ermöglichte es, Bücher, Instrumente und dergleichen per Pferdewagen anzuliefern. Hans van Steenwinckel d. J. war mit diesem Konstruktionsprinzip aus der Festung Varberg (Kasemattengang, sogenannter „Kockenborg-Gang“) vertraut.

Ein Besuch beim Zahnarzt führte mich an einem 50er-Jahre Haus mit der schönen Treppe vorbei.
On the way to the dentist I found a 50 years' building with the wonderful staircase.

The Helix Bridge is leading you the way to Sands Casino Integrated Resort.
Shape of the sky garden is like a ship, perhaps it is preparing for a mega flood.

Some more views of the Amgen Double Helix Pedestrian Bridge off of Elliot Ave near the Seattle waterfront.
The first few times I only saw this building from far away. Driving in the evening over the highway past Arnhem. After I found out where it actually was situated it still took over a year before I made my first attempt to photograph it. During the day it still was the dull office I had known. But when daylight turns to dawn and the coloured lights on the (students-) apartment building switch on, it becomes a rather interesting subject for a blue hour shot. I love the bright colours and the X- pattern. Especially with its own reflection in a nearby pond.
Enjoy!

Heal's Department Store, London, England
Most photographers in London have seen or even visited the wonderful staircase at the Heal's Department store, the one with the awesome chandelier in the middle of it well this is that same staircase before they renovated it. No chandelier there and looking rather different to what it is now.
Don't get me wrong, I love the new staircase and how it looks now but there is something that I really like about the old staircase, maybe its is honesty and its worn feel or maybe its the fact that it looks slightly uncluttered compared to what it is now, I am just not sure. My favourite part of the staircase within this photo is the darkening on each stair and how each one is unique and different, to me this is part of the character of the staircase.
Which is your favourite, the way it is here or the way it is now? Cast your votes now :-).
Location Information
Heal's ("Heal and Son Ltd") is a British furniture and furnishing store chain comprising six stores, selling a range of furniture, lighting, accessories, home and garden wares. For over a century it has been known for promoting modern design and employing talented young designers.
When a star like the Sun runs out of fuel, it expands and its outer layers puff off, and then the core of the star shrinks. This phase is known as a "planetary nebula," and astronomers expect our Sun will experience this in about 5 billion years. This Helix Nebula images contains infrared data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope (green and red), optical light from Hubble (orange and blue), ultraviolet from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer (cyan), and Chandra's X-rays (appearing as white) showing the white dwarf star that formed in the center of the nebula. The image is about four light years across.

Here you can see the Helix Nebula. This is a planetary nebula located the constellation Aquarius. The nebula is a remnant of a star which shed its outer layers near the end of its evolution. It is located approximately 695 light-years from Earth, making it one of the nearest and brightest of all of the known planetary nebulae.
This image is a stacked version of 60 one-minute exposures with a Celestron 8-inch Rowe-Ackermann Telescope and an ASI 294mc color camera.
Taken at the Deerlick Astronomy Village, near Sharon, Georgia on 9-29-19.
The beautiful curves of a spiral staircase in an abandoned castle in Northern Italy. This was the last location of the recent trip and time was tight with a flight to catch an hour away. Still a nice gentle roam here for 90 mins before heading home, tired but very happy.

The transformation of a DNA double helix into a bridge is revealed with the Helix Pedestrian Bridge, the signature gateway to Amgen’s Helix Research Campus.
The bridge spans over 11 active railway tracks, providing access to public transportation for employees as well as public access to a popular fishing pier and two waterfront parks.
The bridge was built for pedestrian use and is handicapped accessible through two glass elevators located on each side of the bridge.
The design is a DNA double helix, a major part of Amgen’s research. The three arches depict the outline of the helix while the deck, side, and roof trusses form the rest of the helix.
Built in 2004 as part of Amgen’s 750,000 sq.ft, $625 million Helix Research Campus
located on the Elliott Bay waterfront.
Cost Built by Amgen Inc. at a cost of $10,000,000.
The bridge itself is 412’ long and 65’ tall. The actual footpath is 11’ wide and sits 25’ above the tracks.
Three (steel pipe) arches, (structural steel tube) truss members attach to arches that support the deck, roof, and sides of the bridge. Stainless steel mesh is attached to trusses.
The bridge is illuminated for night time use. Its lighting is set back in the truss members lighting up the mesh roofs.

A strangely twisted and bluish illuminated structure crossing a river, a ship-like but curved object resting on three pillars, a building resembling a white flower.
Few people would have imagined such an architecture a few decades ago.
All of this is reclaimed land. Many Singaporeans told me they remember this being ocean.
