Node 2 is a European-built module of the International Space Station that serves as utility room, docking port and sleeping quarters. It was built in Italy for NASA and installed on the Space Station in 2007.
In this image Portuguese-born photographer Edgar Martins has shot the exterior of a Node 2 mock-up the Erasmus centre in ESA’s scientific and technical heart at ESTEC in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. In space the docking ports are used to connect spacecraft such as the Japanese ferry HTV, commercial supply ship Cygnus and NASA’s Space Shuttle before it retired from service.
Edgar Martins collaborated closely with ESA to produce a comprehensive photographic survey of the Agency’s various facilities around the globe, together with those of its international partners.
The striking results are collected in his book entitled The Rehearsal of Space and The Poetic Impossibility to Manage the Infinite.
Characteristically empty of people, Martins’ long-exposure photos – taken with analogue wide film cameras – possess a stark, reverent style. They document the variety of specialised installations and equipment needed to prepare missions for space, or to recreate orbital conditions for testing down on Earth.
This artistic collaboration was part of a number of events marking the 50th anniversary of European cooperation in space in 2014.

I took the same picture back in September 2017 and was the first picture in my "Green Estate" series using Lynch's 5 elements of the city descriptors. Since then this play area has been described as being like Chernobyl in the UK National press.
For context behind the wall is the River Cole and the Cole valley, to my right is a fairly new housing estate and a magnificent ancient oak tree that deserves TPO (Tree Protection Order) status (there are no TPOs in North Solihull), and over my left shoulder Bacons End Bridge (a grade 2 listed foot and road bridge from 1764).
This whole area is due to be flattened to provide road access to the Simon Digby field for a new housing estate.
These are saddleback caterpillars on poison ivy. They can string. For more information: bugguide.net/node/view/507

Quote:
'Although Oscar Newman’s seminal Defensible Space was a decade away from publication, it is clear that Brooke House provided a sense of communal surveillance to a city centre otherwise devoid of population after closing time, allowing Basildon to avoid a situation where its centre could become a ‘nogo area’

Node 1, the first element of the International Space Station to be manufactured in the United States and the first to be launched on the Space Shuttle, is unloaded in its container from an Air Force C-5 jet cargo transport at Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Shuttle Landing Facility runway on June 23, 1997, after its arrival from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The module was then transported to the Space Station Processing Facility. The Node 1 module was launched aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on STS-88 on December 4, 1998 along with Pressurized Mating Adapters (PMAs) 1 and 2. The 18-foot in diameter, 22-foot-long aluminum module was manufactured by the Boeing Co. at MSFC. Node 1 functions as a connecting passageway to the living and working areas of the International Space Station. It has six hatches that serve as docking ports to the U.S. laboratory module, U.S. habitation module, an airlock and other Space Station elements.

"Node", a 102 ft. tall pubic art sculpture by New York artist Roxy Paine (1966- ) at the Yerba Buena/Moscone MUNI (Municipal Transportation) station in San Francisco, California.
"Node" is the tallest freestanding sculpture in the city. The stainless-steel form reaches upward from a 5 1/2-foot-thick base reminiscent of a tree trunk. From there, it curves as it extends upward gradually tapering until it's just a quarter of an inch thick at its peak. The sculpture was intended to function as a way-finding landmark for the station.
Imagine my surprise when this ant turned out to be a jumping spider. It went around tapping and feeling the leaf - possibly feeling for vibrations? Occasionally it would go to the underside of the leaf and return with something very small - perhaps a white fly. I waited to try to get better shots of this behavior but I found these spiders on only two occasions and then never again the entire summer.
It looks a lot like this Synemosyna formica on bugguide: bugguide.net/node/view/74335/bgpage
This one found near Indian Creek and the Sac and Fox Trail. Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Id corrections appreciated.
My #81 spider this year.
