I only did two rows of hearts.

One of the highlights of our educational trip was a visit to the Derix Studio just outside Wiesbaden.

www.derix.com/en/

Here the highly skilled team of craftsmen translate the designs of numerous German and international artists into completed stained glass windows (unlike in the UK where most of us tend to translate our own designs into glass, in Germany the artist usually delegates to a highly professional team who works under their specifications, partly as a result of the much greater percentage of new commissions in glass, both ecclesiastical and increasingly in the secular market, an approach largely ignored in the UK).

Touring the studio enabled us to witness the team in action creating contemporary architectural artworks in various stages. It was also here we were able to meet the renowned artist Johannes Schreiter who gave a talk on his work.

Here's the paisley again. I've colorized it (roughly) in Photoshop. Trying to get a feel for what works for it. I'd love to work this into a repeat.

Friday 5 March 2010. The tartan seating sported by Lothian Buses buses.

When I was editing this photos, my eyes saw the textured parts as indents, now that it is on here, I see the smooth parts as the indents !!

I must be blonde !! lol

The patterns in the ice formed on large lakes are often interesting and show various stages of formation. Here the ice at the top and bottom of the photo consists of innumerable small crystals that froze together into a solid mass. The larger crystals formed in cracks or fissures in the sheets of the fine-grained ice.

Pattern on a tree carved out by insects. Seen on the path down from La Viershöhe to Königsruhe (King's Rest) in Bodetal (Bode Valley, or Bode Gorge) between Thale and Treseburg in the Harz mountains, Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxony-Anhalt), Germany.

---quotation from en.wikipedia.org about Bodetal:---

The Bode Gorge (German: Bodetal) is a 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) long ravine that forms part of the Bode valley between Treseburg and Thale in the Harz Mountains of central Germany. The German term, Bodetal (literally "Bode Valley"), is also used in a wider sense to refer to the valleys of the Warme and Kalte Bode rivers that feed the River Bode.

At the Bode Gorge, the River Bode, which rises on the highest mountain in the Harz, the Brocken, has cut deeply into the hard Ramberg granite rock. The ravine is about 140 m deep at Treseburg and some 280 m deep at Thale where it breaks out into the Harz Foreland. The Bode Gorge was designated a nature reserve as early as 5 March 1937; its boundaries being subsequently expanded. With an area of, currently 473.78 hectares (1,170.7 acres), it is one of the largest nature reserves in Saxony-Anhalt.

I forgot I had this. It was just a grab shot from our garden this summer. If I had realized just what was going on in there, I would have done much more with it. I can't even remember what it's called.

I have an enduring fascination with patterns, particularly those on floors or ceilings. The grey and white bathroom tiles in the Seattle Medical and Dental Building make me feel as if I'm in a black and white film.

What was once, is no more.

Autumn has brought the first hard freeze. Frost on every surface this morning. I'm not sure what the temperature got down to, but 25F degrees is what I last heard reported. Darn cold.

Just a week or so back I took this close-up of one of the many Zinnia flowers that line our driveway. I din't notice the beetle at first, but when I spotted it, I moved in closer to put the spotlight on this insect. I'm not sure if it was feasting or doing some other type of last-minute work that its nature demanded it carry out. It was busy at it, ignoring me.

All gone now. The flowers are shadows of their blooming selves, shriveled up.

Winter is around the corner.
