This was taken in a cliff in Santa Cruz (Portugal) near the sea, I used a low perspective, that's why we can see the blue of the ocean in background!
And I want to thank you once more for your comments about my last photo, your tips about lens, your opinion about my new camera, and all your help about photography! I really have to learn a lot, and at a technical level I really have to improve!
Thanks for your support!
Have a wonderful weekend.
"It is a good viewpoint to see the world as a dream. When you have something like a nightmare, you will wake up and tell yourself that it was only a dream. It is said that the world we live in is not a bit different from this."
(Yamamoto Tsunetomo)
"Every now and then go away and have a little relaxation. To remain constantly at work will diminish your judgment. Go some distance away, because work will be in perspective and a lack of harmony is more readily seen."
( Leonardo DaVinci )
A couple from inside the recently opened Life Sciences Building at the University of Bristol. Love that orange.

I've been down to Bristol recently for a visit and managed to squeeze in an afternoon out with the camera. I'd planned ahead and made the journey up Park Street to the Bristol University Life Sciences building with the wide angle. It had been raining for most of the day so I wasn't overly hopeful of getting a good shot, but luckily by the time I made it up there the rain had eased off :-)

Architect George W. Kelham; completed in 1930. Bldg. gutted and completely refitted inside c. 1990. It also contains the university's Museum of Paleontology.
From the website:
"At the time of its completion, it was the largest building in the United States west of the Mississippi River and the largest academic building in the world. Valley Sciences is mammoth in its proportions. The footprint of the building is approximately 250×500 feet; its figure eight racetrack of hallways extend for over a mile. The building has five floors, for a total of 408,500 gross SF1 of space, of which 269,500 SF is assignable space. VLSB was designed in a 'Neo-Babylonian' style; the four projecting pavilions at the corners of the building contain art deco elements such as friezes of garlanded ox skulls, griffins, and Egyptian-Babylonian priests."

Wonderful and very colorful paper wasp. It is an eusocial wasp with a very interesting and complex behaviour. As other insects out of the order Hymenoptera like wasps, bees, ants and termites, they build nests, do parental care, forage and feed together. Each of the individuals might have its own function. Although a classic predator, mostly on Lepidoptera, its role as a pollinator might not be underestimated. Polistes versicolor is also used for biological control of pests.

"If you seek the kernel, then you must break the shell. An likewise, if you would know the reality of Nature, you must destroy the appearance, and the farther you go beyond the appearance, the nearer you will be to the essence."

The Ailanthus Webworm (Atteva aurea) is a common moth found across the US. The unique orange and white wing patterns distinguish it from other moths. Its life cycle is roughly 4 weeks allowing for multiple generations per year. In this image several scales have become detached and decorate it's compound eye. The ease with which these scales detach allow the moth to easily escape spider webs and other sticky traps.

. . . at the museum. Seen here at the Valley Life Sciences Building (and natural history museum) on the Berkeley campus. U. of California.

The Grove is said to be the tallest stand/group of Tasmanian Blue Gum Eucalyptus in the world and the tallest stand of hardwoods in North America. They were imported and planted in the 1880s, as a windbreak, during a wave of enthusiasm to grow this Australian native tree in California. The intended lumber project collapsed and now we have more of them in the state than we wish. They are a fire hazard, among other things.
The short film is interesting about measuring them.
Hi, I'm still alive.
It's been a long time since I've been on Flickr. I was busy with studying and trying to pass my exams (which I did by the way), working so I can go travel next (school)year (don't know where exactly) and enjoying summer with my friends.
So what's up with everybody? I'm going to look at all those photos I've missed right now.

Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun."

They do important basic research on the life sciences here, much of it world-changing. Today they focus on molecular and cell biology--whether that includes virology, specifically, I cannot say.
Forskaren. Hagastaden. This is a nine photo panorama, shot with the Canon 77D, using the 60mm lens. Tricky to shoot the lower floors as there were machines and fences everywhere.
