Come ariete immaginario
apro un varco nelle mura.
Abbandono la città;
me ne vado alla ventura.
Cerco isole deserte
dove covano i gabbiani,
là per ore starò inerte
senza l'ansia del domani......

UK designer Thomas Heatherwick masterpiece at Nanyang Technology University in Singapore.
Resembling a cluster of elongated bee hives, the Learning Hub at Nanyang Technology University explores new ways of teaching at a time when computers and the internet are challenging the rationale of learning institutions.
The hub’s form is dictated by its function, and brings together 55 tutorial rooms into a structure without conventional corridors, which have traditionally created social separation and isolation. The learning hub has no one door, it is porous. Students can enter from 360 degrees around into a large central space which links all the separate towers together. Each tower is made up of a stack of classrooms which build up gradually, with gardens on selected floors.*

Taken with a tilt shift camera to control the vertical distortion, 3 images were stitched together. The 2 students at the bottom of the image forms a focal point in an otherwise empty space.
I'm going insane here!
If anyone knows of a good tutorial on shadows on wall etc please don't hesitate :)))
Miss Lily has seen many snowmen on flickr and wondered about them so we started by reading this book. Miss Lily thinks the snowman here looks a lot like Aunt Owwee's man They both like bright hats.

Young women taking a breather outside Curve Theatre. We had just seen War Horse and taking a small refreshment in the watering hole opposite (The Exchange) which is a great place for people watching.

The Rolex Learning Centre ("EPFL Learning Centre") is the campus hub and library for the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in Lausanne, Switzerland. Designed by the winners of 2010 Pritzker Prize, Japanese-duo SANAA, it opened on 22 February 2010.
Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa, partners of the Tokyo-based design firm SANAA, were selected as the lead architects in EPFL's international competition of December 2004. The team was selected among famous architects and even some Pritzker Prize Laureates such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Jean Nouvel, Herzog & de Meuron, Ábalos & Herreros and Xaveer De Geyter.
The construction took place between 2007 and 2009. It cost 110 million Swiss francs and was funded by the Swiss government as well as by private sponsors (Rolex, Logitech, Bouygues Construction, Crédit Suisse, Nestlé, Novartis and SICPA).
The building opened on 22 February 2010 and was inaugurated on 27 May 2010. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolex_Learning_Center
PHEW! I'm so glad to get this blog post finished and into the great wide world before the weekend truly begins!
Though I'm still new to the process of taking green screen pictures, I think this one turned out all right! Read a bit more about it on the blog if you like. Full credits, as always, included. FOR FREE!

Found this young Tri-colored Heron learning the ropes on Horsepen Bayou. He was busy foraging at the water’s edge. I don’t see many birds on this small bypass on the backside of one of the horseshoe bends and usually don’t paddle this area.

“People will not always understand you.
Dare to be different.
People will not always believe in you.
Prepare to work harder.
People will not always do right by you.
Let them go.
People will not always love like you.
Keep loving harder.
Nobody’s opinion of you will matter when you know who you are.
Love Thy Self enough to walk in your own light.. down your own path.. and accept that sometimes we grow apart from people.
Sometimes we lose a lot of the people around us because they were only placed in our lives to help teach us something about ourselves.
Be open to learning.
Be welcoming to change.
Find yourself.
Be yourself.
Love yourself.”

Kruger National Park
Ten days ago I posted an image of a female Hyena teaching her sibling how to play with a stick. It didn't take the youngster long to find out what to do with it.
Have you ever driven past a really nice location and then hours later, you get home and you realize you dont remember where you saw that fantastic spot? Thats what happened with this park. I found it last winter and ever since have wondered where the heck it was. Over the weekend, I was out and about and suddenly
found myself at this park..........again.
I walked around and enjoyed the scenery and snapped a few photos and when I got back to my car, I locked in the location on my GPS.

Les belles courbes du Learning Center de l'EPFL à Lausanne.
The incredible architecture of the Learning Center à Swiss Institute of Technology, Lausanne.
Not really. The only reason this Grizzly Bear was being a little tolerant of a Coyote was that there were two Bison carcasses to feast on.
A great moment of life is seeing wild animals in their own natural habitat. Cannot beat it, and very addictive.
Just back from 'Tour de Bear' in the Canadian Rockies, Western Canada. Very tired, but some absolutely beautiful wildlife moments and worth every minute we put in. And there were a lot of minutes too, with us spending hour after hour, and day after day looking for wildlife.
Also, met a number of great photographers around our trip. All out in the golden hours searching for these charismatic animals.
Two siblings black bears, one black and one brown in colour. We named these bears Lilly and Marshall
