Since I started taking photographs of butterfly this was my first time to capture their mating activity.

As printed, with mouse ears to hold it flat and support material for the captured cube. Skeinforge did some of the long overhangs in the wrong direction, which makes the hanging loops across half the pieces.
I was traveling through Pana, IL late in the day when I stopped to photograph the Pana Tower. The Union Paciffic locomotive 44`73 (EMD SD70M) was leading a train past the tower on the former Missouri Pacific line. The NYC and MP diamond is gone but the tower remains.

Landscaping in toronto is sometimes an issue as backyard space is limited. Here we created a stone patio in the round that doesn't need alot of space to be sufficient.

30 Interlocking Irregular Triangular Prisms 270 units
2-fold view,
When I first folded Daniel Kwan’s 10 Triangular Prisms, I considered it to be the pinnacle of technical difficulty in wireframe design. While it’s complexity has been surpassed since by numerous designs (including several by Daniel himself), the original 10 Triangular Prisms remains (in my opinion) one of the most elegant and complex wireframes ever designed. When I began extending the Macro-Polygon design series through polyhedral projections (including prisms, though incidentally, no antiprism expansions yet!) five or six years ago, a compound high on my list was an expansion of 10 triangular prisms. After all, when 10 Triangular Prisms is already one of the most difficult compounds to construct, why not make it 3x more complex?
This compound is the first successful iteration realizing a variation of the goal of a Macro-Polygon expansion of 10 Triangular prisms. I say “a variation” because I had a specific internal weaving relationship in mind which I designed the structure around, and adjusted the external triangular faces to accommodate this internal structure. As a result, the triangular faces are not equilateral, but rather scalene triangles that are nearly right triangles. Each of the 3 triangular prisms which together form one macro prismatic structure contribute one side edge whose weaving with respect to other units of identical type constitute the same pattern as the original 10 Triangular Prisms. The other 60 prism side edges have a different relationship.
The completed model is very sturdy and rigid in its present form, and while a second version might slim the proportions slightly, any visible issues of pressure bending are almost certainly due to angular discrepancies. These occurred because the units were emended a few times from the initial vision of equilateral triangular faces on the bases of each prism. This “trial and error” procedure is inherent in designing compounds of irregular shapes, particularly without the assistance of software.
Designed by me.
Folded out of copy paper. (4 different paper proportions, 5 different unit types. You might astutely observe that I wrote that the triangular faces were scalene, and thus that there should be 5 paper proportions. However, although the shorter two units are the same length when unfolded, one has an extra paper consuming tab, and hence the folded units are not identical in length.)

Although invisible from the outside, the Inca used interlocks of stone and metal to hold stones together.
I shot this a number of ways, with granite stacks in the foreground but I much preferred this simpler version. Light like this is just wonderful and the mist in the background was an extra treat.

I recently found this packed away in storage. I built it on New Year's Eve, 1983. Hard to believe that's been 34 years.
This is the East Rockford interlocking / control point at milepost 85.6 west on the CN North Division, Freeport Subdivision in Rockford Illinois. This view is looking west to east from below the Seminary Street road bridge. The wye to the right is the Illinois Railway connection to the CP at Davis Junction IL and the UP and BNSF at Flag Center IL. The fence on the left is the south side of the huge Behr Iron and Metal scrap recycling yard. Just out of sight around the bend to the left is the Behr Iron and Metal electric switch that the Illinois Railway uses most week nights to switch the busy scrap yard. Previously East Rockford was the location of the historic IC/CB&Q diamond which was once controlled by a manned interlocking tower located at this site.
