London – Lloyds Building
Construction started: 1978
Completed: 18. Nov. 1986
Architects: Richard Rogers and Partners
The building at the Lime Street is the head office of the insurance institution "Lloyd's of London".
This approach of outwardly demonstrative technologyIn in the Lloyd's Building Richard Rogers continued also in his later high-rise constructions. This unconventional construction was surprisingly close to the futurists' visions (=> Centre Pompidou, Paris).
Rogers's proposal for the new Lloyd's building was just as controversial as his co-designed Centre Pompidou in Paris, due to its so-called High Tech style design, where functional elements such as pipes are moved to the outside of the building to create more interior space.
The exterior is more refined than that of Centre Pompidou however, with polished stainless steel and glass instead of a cacophony of colors.
Nonetheless, when Richard Rogers's design was shown to the public in 1978 it caused quite a controversy as it contrasted sharply with the centuries old buildings in the area and in particular the adjacent historic Leadenhall Market.

I got myself a Danbo a while ago, so I thought I share again.
Ich hab mir vor kurzem einen Danbo zugelegt und ich dachte ich teile die ersten Ergebnisse mit euch.
Zudem bin ich am 20.10 mal wieder in Hamburg für zwei Workshops, ich würde mich freuen vielleicht den ein oder anderen von euch da zu treffen.

Im Wald steppt der Bär. Es summt und brummt. Wär ich eine Biene, ich könnte mich nicht entscheiden. Der Bärlauch duftet so verlockend
In the forest, the bear is dancing. It hums and buzzes. If I were a bee, I wouldn't be able to decide. The wild garlic smells so tempting.

Icerya sp. The male is 2.5 mm in length. An immature recently settled sedentary female a mm or so in length or so in length can be seen mostly under the wing. Make a habit of looking for the much smaller males when you see a bunch of female scales. You have to leave the scale alone to multiply and look every day. The males do not fed and live perhaps for two days. Found on Guava leaves at the house after a month of looking. .

From Wikipedia:
"Grey-headed swamphen (Porphyrio poliocephalus) is a species of swamphen occurring from the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent to southern China and northern Thailand. It used to be considered a subspecies of the purple swamphen, but was elevated to full species status in 2015; today the purple swamphen is considered a superspecies and each of its six races are designated full species.
The male has an elaborate courtship display, holding water weeds in his bill and bowing to the female with loud chuckles.
The grey-headed swamphen was introduced to North America in the late 1990s due to avicultural escapes in the Pembroke Pines, Florida area. State wildlife biologists attempted to eradicate the birds, but they have multiplied and can now be found in many areas of southern Florida. Ornithological authorities consider it likely that the swamphen will become an established part of Florida's avifauna. It was added to the American Birding Association checklist in February 2013."

After far too much fun (and maybe a bit too much eggnog) I give you a galactic lunar circle of the recent total eclipse this past winter's solstice. I really wanted to do something a bit different and, well, I think I may have succeeded, hah. I hope you enjoy!
Wishing all a very happy New Year!
Shot Notes: Time moves chronologically counter-clockwise from the full moon. The last layer number in Photoshop was 33 to give you an idea of the fun I had in post. All of the source images are mine. The stars are from a previous Milky Way shot which was also used to create the swirly galactic background illustration. The star diffraction spikes were added via the excellent Star Spikes Pro plugin. I used my D300 for the telephoto images of the eclipse to take advantage of the 1.5x DX multiplier effect on my Nikon 300 f4 which I had paired to a 1.4x Kenko converter. Exposures varied based on brightness of the moon. Conditions got hazy when I was shooting the eclipse so clarity varies on different stages of the eclipse, but I think it worked out nicely with my idea.
“Childhood is not only the childhood we really had but also the impressions we formed of it in our adolescence and maturity. That is why childhood seems so long. Probably every period of life is multiplied by our reflections upon the next.”

i have been coming to this place since childhood,.... i had never seen such long reflections before :))
This is Rawal Lake , Islamabad Pakistan,.... just before dawn !. The light are from the new tourist spot developed at its bank.

Several Thoughts as Haiku Notes :
===============================
The Yin and the Yang
the forces of creation
beginning the end
===============================
The way of the Tao
as above also below
everything is one
===============================
The Yin and the Yang
they're not really opposites
complementary
===============================
When you have questions
look and listen for the signs
synchronicity
===============================
A Yin/Yang Perception of Opposites
Tao Te Ching -:- Verse 2
====================================
When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
====================================
In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (also, yin-yang or yin yang) describes how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, and male and female) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality of yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as in the pages of the I Ching written in 1,000 BC and before.
Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. The yin yang shows a balance between two opposites with a little bit in each.
In Daoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.

By measuring starlight - specifically, the color and brightness - astronomers have determined that our Milky Way has about 100 billion stars in its system. Using the Milky Way as a model, astronomers have multiplied the number of stars in a typical galaxy (100 billion) by the number of galaxies in the known universe (2 trillion). The result is an absolutely astounding number of approximately 200 billion trillion stars in our known universe. Given that the earth’s star (the sun) has eight planets revolving around it, one of which has humans on it. Is it reasonable to believe that human beings here on the planet earth are the only beings in existence?

Playa de La Zurriola, Donostia, Guipúzcoa, España.
La Playa de Zurriola es una de las tres playas de la ciudad de San Sebastián (España). Está situada entre la desembocadura del río Urumea y el monte Ulía, y tiene una longitud aproximada de 800 metros.
En 1994 se llevaron a cabo unas obras de reforma de la playa, anteriormente prácticamente inutilizable dada la virulencia de las aguas. Gracias a dichas reformas, que incluyeron la construcción de un espigón, la playa aumentó su longitud, sus aguas se hicieron aptas para el baño y su uso se multiplicó.
Frente al perfil elegante y tranquilo de las playas de Ondarreta y La Concha, la playa de Zurriola se ha consolidado como una playa de perfil más joven y apropiada para la práctica del surfismo (se trata de la playa más abierta y con más fuerte oleaje de la ciudad) y como escenario de algunos conciertos del Festival de Jazz de San Sebastián y de competiciones de Bodyboarding, surf, skateboarding y eventos similares.
The Zurriola Beach is one of the three beaches in the city of San Sebastián (Spain). It is located between the mouth of the Urumea River and Mount Ulía, and it has an approximate length of 800 meters.
In 1994, some works were carried out to reform the beach, which was previously practically unusable given the virulence of the waters. Thanks to these reforms, which included the construction of a jetty, the beach increased its length, its waters became suitable for bathing and its use multiplied.
Facing the elegant and tranquil profile of the beaches of Ondarreta and La Concha, Zurriola beach has established itself as a beach with a younger profile and suitable for surfing (it is the most open beach with the strongest waves in the the city) and as a stage for some concerts of the San Sebastian Jazz Festival and competitions of Bodyboarding, surfing, skateboarding and similar events.
4 exposures of DRI technique. Masking and lighten mode for the jetty at opacity of 65%. Multiply and lighten mode for the sky and reflection. It took me about 60 minutes to get this final piece of mine. Some tweak in photoshop.
