The Manor Wischlingen is located in the western district of Dortmund, Huckarde.
From the former knighthood Wischlingen, which had to be broken up in 1903 due to dilapidation, until today only the half-timbered chapel built in 1783 is preserved.Its foundations date back to a predecessor building built around the year 1400. The first Protestant service on Westphalian soil was celebrated here.The chapel was built as a half-timbered hall with roof rider and polygonal choir. After an initial repair in 1951, the chapel was restored in 1974 and 1975 and integrated into the Wischlingen park. In the chapel there is a wooden pulpit altar and burial plates of the families of Syberg and Sydow from the 17th and 18th. Century.
The house Wischlingen is listed as a monument, the Protestant chapel, the only sacred half-timbered building in Dortmund, as a monument in the monument list of the city of Dortmund.
The Halema'Uma'U crater as seen from the Jaggar Lookout at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This was taken in late April, just before the eruption on the Big Island. The park ranger told me that the crater was the most active it had been in two years that evening.
Triangle vs circle. While the kids are playing we adults get also to play. But I seriously doubt that my daughter was thinking about polygons in this case. :)
Much different from the ventral view on my first post.

Die Einen finden sie interessant oder spannend, für die Anderen ist sie häßlich, ein Hingucker ist sie allemal: Die Bergehalde Duhamel bei Ensorf mit dem Saar-Polygon als Landmarke.
Some find it interesting or exciting, for others it is ugly, but it is always an eye-catcher: the Duhamel mine dump near Ensorf with the "Saar Polygon" as a landmark.
The palace castle of Altamira or Alcázar de la Señoría, was built at the end of the 15th century by the Castilian nobleman Gutierre de Cárdenas, first lord of the city, after having returned to the Crown with the Catholic Monarchs, making it his habitual residence. However, it is likely that it was built on top of a previous work from the 12th or 13th century, which would form part of the defenses of the Almohad walled town. It belonged to the counts of Altamira.
Its plant is polygonal, and its most excellent elements are the solid quadrangular main tower and the cylindrical towers that protect its corners.
El castillo palacio de Altamira o Alcázar de la Señoría, fue construido a finales del siglo xv por el noble castellano Gutierre de Cárdenas, primer señor de la ciudad, después de haber vuelto a la Corona con los Reyes Católicos, convirtiéndolo en su residencia habitual. Sin embargo, es probable que fuera construido sobre una obra anterior del siglo XII o XIII, que formaría parte de las defensas de la villa amurallada almohade. Perteneció a los condes de Altamira.
Su planta es poligonal, y sus elementos más excelentes son la sólida torre mayor cuadrangular y los torreones cilíndricos que protegen sus esquinas.

Amsterdam - Spaarndammerdijk.
Ventilation towers of the Spaarndammer car tunnel.
Designed by: Tjep.
The stainless steel towers consist of folded surfaces with a pattern that is inspired by leaf veins.
In opdracht van de gemeente Amsterdam heeft Tjep. vier torens ontworpen die de ventilatieopeningen van de nieuwe Spaarndammertunnel vormen. De 6 meter hoge roestvrij stalen torens bestaan uit gevouwen vlakken met een patroon dat is geïnspireerd op bladernerven. (architectenweb.nl)
This was taken with a 40 year old Canon FD lens (with a E to FD Mount): 50mm f/1.8. There is a lot of dust in the lens which only appears with a very small aperture around f/22.

Recently, I participated in the Macphun architecture photography contest and submitted this and another picture, which where both showcased on their homepage, but unfortunately I didn't win anything. Some of you might know this picture since I already uploaded it, but for the contest I did a slightly less extreme edit and hence I decided to reupload it. Hope you like it!
PS: Sorry for my absence the last weeks, but since people know that I'm singing and playing the guitar I had a lot to do with practicing songs and singing them at christmas concerts :) Hope that I'll find more time for photography soon.

This weeks Macro Monday theme is unusual patterns. Given that a pattern is a regularity, I discovered that the wings of this insect are indeed a pattern, made up of a reoccurring five sided polygon, or pentagon.
Blue hour shot of the Shard taken from the public viewing platform above the Thames Path near to London Bridge.
I spent so much time concentrating on this shot that I was completely oblivious to the illuminated Tower Bridge lifting to let a tall ship pass.
Thanks goes to James Beard, who made me aware of this great little viewing platform through his photostream.
