Bleu sur le Lac D'Annecy (France)
La couleur des eaux des lacs peut varier du bleu jusqu’au vert et au marron, voire au rouge. Ce sont les molécules autres que l’eau ou les particules présentes qui expliquent les variations de couleur et de transparence des eaux des lacs. Celles-ci répondent essentiellement à la nature et à la concentration des algues microscopiques. Elles constituent un indicateur synthétique et rapide de la qualité des lacs.
Blue on Lake Annecy (France)
The colour of lake waters can vary from blue to green and brown or even red. It is molecules other than water or particles present that explain the variations in colour and transparency of lake water. These variations are mainly due to the nature and concentration of microscopic algae. They constitute a synthetic and rapid indicator of the quality of lakes.
Been waiting a while for the right clouds and wind direction to take this shot, the recent weather definitely played ball!!
Hands & Molecule Sculpture, designed by David Barnes, and commissioned by Pfizer. The sculpture was unveiled in 2000 to mark the opening of the National Cycle Network (Route 15) in Thanet. Situated on the West Cliff Ramsgate, overlooking Pegwell Bay.

I'm still looking for "new" possibilities within the "Blocks-pattern".
I added a few more diagonals and then this molecule was born.
Folded it from a piece of yellow vellum (15x15cm), because you can see the creases so nicely ;-)
Grid 1:8
This extended tessellation of the '4-Butterflies' is related to the 'Extended open connection 5'. So I call this new one: 'Extended Open Connection 7'.
Folded from an orange sheet of glassine, hexagon 33cm, grid 1:96.

ist ein Berliner Monumentalkunstwerk, das im Mai 1999 vom amerikanischen Bildhauer Jonathan Borofsky geschaffen wurde. Es handelt sich um eine Drei-Personen-Skulptur, die in der Spree zwischen Elsenbrücke und Oberbaumbrücke nahe dem Schnittpunkt der drei Ortsteile Kreuzberg, Alt-Treptow und Friedrichshain aufgestellt wurde.
Remember I told you I was going to connect my origami 'Butterfly"--molecule?
Well, this is one way of folding it and I call it "Connection 2".
Here you can see "Connection 1".

Folded from a white sheet of glassine, about 30cm, grid 1:96. Final result is about 19cm.
For the photo I used another red sheet of glassine, to create a colored backlight.

Remember I told you I was going to connect my origami 'Butterfly"--molecule?
Well, this is one way of folding it and I call it "Connection 1". If you look closely you will see a "strange" kind of symmetry.
It is a first step, but I liked the pattern that emerged, so I made a picture from it, before folding it to a first possible other, more definite, tessellation pattern, as you can see here.

The continuing folding-story of my "Butterfly-molecule".
I multiplied my Duet-pattern 3 and the other frontside in a small hexagon to explore the possibilities before I will fold a definite big version. When I started to fold the pattern, I noticed that this thicker paper got a bowl shape, so I decided to leave it like this.
On the left you see the real color of the paper I used and on the right I changed the color and also made a bowl. It is only one piece, but I cannot decide which one is the outside or the inside, they are both beautiful. And I call them "Day" and "Night" .
Hexagon about 21cm, grid 1:48

Ich bin hier, weil ich hier hingehör
Von Kopf bis Fuß bin ich verliebt
Du bist mutig, weil du mir Treue schwörst
Zwischen all den schönen Souvenirs
Sprich mich an, in dem Takt
Der dieses Lied zu uns'rem Hit macht
Brich den Beat mit Gefühl
Du bist so schön, weil du lachst
Uh uh hu
Uh uh huu uh huu uh huu
Mein Herz tanzt
Uh uh hu
Und jedes Molekül bewegt sich
Glaubst du wie ich daran, dass alles gut sein kann?
Solange wir zusammen sind?
Brich das Eis, mit dem Schritt
Der jedes atmen zum Wagnis macht
Halt mich fest, mit Gefühl
Es ist so schön, wenn du lachst
fungus (plural: fungi or funguses is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista.
A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the Eumycota (true fungi or Eumycetes), that share a common ancestor (i.e. they form a monophyletic group), an interpretation that is also strongly supported by molecular phylogenetics. This fungal group is distinct from the structurally similar myxomycetes (slime molds) and oomycetes (water molds). The discipline of biology devoted to the study of fungi is known as mycology (from the Greek μύκης mykes, mushroom). In the past, mycology was regarded as a branch of botany, although it is now known fungi are genetically more closely related to animals than to plants.
Abundant worldwide, most fungi are inconspicuous because of the small size of their structures, and their cryptic lifestyles in soil or on dead matter. Fungi include symbionts of plants, animals, or other fungi and also parasites. They may become noticeable when fruiting, either as mushrooms or as molds. Fungi perform an essential role in the decomposition of organic matter and have fundamental roles in nutrient cycling and exchange in the environment. They have long been used as a direct source of human food, in the form of mushrooms and truffles; as a leavening agent for bread; and in the fermentation of various food products, such as wine, beer, and soy sauce. Since the 1940s, fungi have been used for the production of antibiotics, and, more recently, various enzymes produced by fungi are used industrially and in detergents. Fungi are also used as biological pesticides to control weeds, plant diseases and insect pests. Many species produce bioactive compounds called mycotoxins, such as alkaloids and polyketides, that are toxic to animals including humans. The fruiting structures of a few species contain psychotropic compounds and are consumed recreationally or in traditional spiritual ceremonies. Fungi can break down manufactured materials and buildings, and become significant pathogens of humans and other animals. Losses of crops due to fungal diseases (e.g., rice blast disease) or food spoilage can have a large impact on human food supplies and local economies.
The fungus kingdom encompasses an enormous diversity of taxa with varied ecologies, life cycle strategies, and morphologies ranging from unicellular aquatic chytrids to large mushrooms. However, little is known of the true biodiversity of Kingdom Fungi, which has been estimated at 2.2 million to 3.8 million species.[5] Of these, only about 148,000 have been described,[6] with over 8,000 species known to be detrimental to plants and at least 300 that can be pathogenic to humans.[7] Ever since the pioneering 18th and 19th century taxonomical works of Carl Linnaeus, Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, and Elias Magnus Fries, fungi have been classified according to their morphology (e.g., characteristics such as spore color or microscopic features) or physiology. Advances in molecular genetics have opened the way for DNA analysis to be incorporated into taxonomy, which has sometimes challenged the historical groupings based on morphology and other traits. Phylogenetic studies published in the first decade of the 21st century have helped reshape the classification within Kingdom Fungi, which is divided into one subkingdom, seven phyla, and ten subphyla.

Molecule Man - Jonathan Borofsky
This was shot in Berlin with a Sony RX100M2 and a gray filter using a tripod exposing for 30 seconds. I used the free App “snapseed” to do some editing like black and white and some vignetting.
Molecule Man is a series of aluminium sculptures, designed by American artist Jonathan Borofsky, installed at various locations in the world, including Berlin, Germany, and Council Bluffs, Iowa, USA.
The first Molecule Man sculptures were made in 1977 and 1978 in Los Angeles, USA. The sculptures consist of three humans leaning towards each other, the bodies of which are filled with hundreds of holes, the holes representative of "the molecules of all human beings coming together to create our existence".
