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.
camera toss plus processing = fun
my initial foray into programmatic sources for camera toss, see this photo for a better description.
Hello there! I hope all is well! Happy Monday my friends! A new week is upon us in a new month! I am featuring Mudhoney with the Blaire hanging chairs, Jian with these precious puff pups and KraftWork with a beautiful Polygonal frame today in this monochrome space. I have full details and slurls on my blog. Feel free to have a look! Thank you so much for the support and have a blessed day. xoxo <3333 Ebony

Dumps in former mining areas have become part of the landscape over time. This is exactly what the Förderverein Bergbau Erbe Saar e.V. Ensdorf/Saar did not want to happen. It wanted "a symbol for the 250-year mining tradition on the Saar... and for the necessary new beginning and structural change thereafter! "He succeeded in doing this by organising a competition and the winning project by Pfeiffer Sachse Architekten. The Duhamel slag heap is once again becoming a landmark. A new unity emerges from the interplay between the heaviness of the slag heap and the lightness of the polygon. Both the slag heap and the project reinforce each other's effect. Although static as an object, the polygon appears almost kinetic and has a completely different effect depending on the view. Sometimes almost unstable, like a triangle on a point, sometimes broadly dominant. From a distance, the figure is almost intriguing because it cannot be grasped directly. Then, on the approach and ascent, it disappears, only to unfold all the more dramatically in all its facets on arrival at the plateau. The polygon becomes both a stage for the far-reaching view and a magnet for the view from a distance, a land art that also fulfils a functional function as a viewing platform.With simple means from the production of industrial culture, a spatial framework made of sectional steel has been created here, a sculpture that emerged from local steel production. A complex effect was achieved with simple means. The artificial light effect has also emerged from the structure and enhances its effect at dusk with discreet use.This project between land art and steel construction is an extremely successful sign for the client, the architects and engineers. It is an understandable and at the same time an emotional project for everyone, far beyond the region.
Halden in ehemaligen Bergbaugebieten sind über die Zeit teil der Landschaft geworden. Angenommen von der Bevölkerung, riskieren sie ihre Symbolkraft über die Zeit zu verlieren.Das ist genau das, was der Förderverein Bergbau Erbe Saar e.V. Ensdorf/Saar nicht haben wollte. Er wollte « Zeichen für die 250-jährige Bergbautradition an der Saar… und für den erforderlichen Neubeginn und Strukturwandel danach! » Dies ist ihm mit der Auslobung eines Wettbewerbs und dem Gewinnerprojekt von Pfeiffer Sachse Architekten einprägsam gelungen. Die Halde Duhamel wird wieder zur Landmarke. Aus dem Wechselspiel zwischen der Schwere der Halde und der Leichtigkeit des Polygons entsteht eine neue Einheit. Beide, die Halde und das Projekt verstärken sich gegenseitig in ihrer Wirkung. Der massive Sockel wird zur Bühne einer leochten begehbaren Skulptur.Obwohl statisch als Objekt, wirkt das Polygon fast kinetisch und hat je nach Ansicht eine völlig andere Wirkung. Mal fast unstabil, wie ein Dreieck auf einer Spitze, mal breitspreitzig dominant. Aus der Entfernung ist die Figur, fast intrigierend weil nicht direkt erfassbar. Dann bei der Anfahrt und Auffahrt verschwindet sie, um sich um so dramatischer bei der Ankunft auf dem Plateau in alle Facetten zu entfalten. Sowohl eine Bühne für den Weitblick als ein Blickmagnet aus der Entfernung wird das Polygon zum Landart, das zudem noch als Aussichtsplattform eine funktionelle Funktion erfüllt.Mit einfachen Mitteln aus der Produktion der Industriekultur ist hier ein Raumfachwerk aus Profil-Stahl, eine Skulptur entstanden, die aus der lokalen Stahlherstellung hervorgegangen ist. Eine komplexe Wirkung wurde mit einfachen Mitteln erreicht. Auch die künstliche Lichtwirkung ist aus der Struktur hervorgegangen und verstärkt ihre Wirkung bei Dämmerung mit dezentem Einsatz.Dieses Projekt zwischen Landart und Stahlbaukonstruktion ist ein äußerst gelungenes Zeichen für den Bauherrn, die Architekten und Ingenieure. Es ist ein verständliches und gleichzeitig ein emotionales Projekt für alle, weit über die Region hinaus. Quelle bda-bund.de
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.

Το Κάστρο του Πλαταμώνα κτίσθηκε από Λομβαρδούς Σταυροφόρους το 1204 στη θέση της αρχαίας Ελληνικής Μακεδονικής πόλεως Ηράκλειας και εξυπηρετούσε τον έλεγχο της «κλεισούρας» των Τεμπών, του στρατηγικού περάσματος δηλαδή από τη Μακεδονία στη Θεσσαλία καθώς και την αφ’υψηλού επόπτευση της δυτικότερη ς εισόδου του Θερμαϊκού κολπου.
Μετά την κατάληψή του από τα Βυζαντινά στρατεύματα,οι Τούρκοι κατέλαβαν το κάστρο για πρώτη φορά γύρω στο 1386, σύντομα όμως περιήλθε σε ενετική κατοχή. Κατά την επιχείρηση για την ανακατάληψη του Κάστρου από τους Τούρκους, το 1425, οι Ενετοί υπερίσχυσαν και πάνω από 100 Τούρκοι κάηκαν ζωντανοί μέσα στο κάστρο. Μετά το 1427 οι Ενετοί έχασαν και πάλι τον έλεγχο του Κάστρου του Πλαταμώνα, όταν οι Τούρκοι εδραίωσαν την κυριαρχία τους.
Το 1770 καταλήφθηκε για μικρό χρονικό διάστημα από τους Έλληνες, όπως και το 1825 και 1878. Βομβαρδίστηκε από τον πλοίαρχο
Σαχτούρη το 1897 και από τότε εγκαταλείφθηκε από τους Τούρκους.
Το ότι το Κάστρο δεν καταστράφηκε από τους Τούρκους φαίνεται να οφείλεται
στη στρατηγική σημασία του.
Το 1941 το Κάστρο χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως οχυρό των Νεοζηλανδών, οι οποίοι σκόπευαν να καθυστερήσουν την κάθοδο των Ναζί προς τη Θεσσαλία.
Σ' αυτό συναντάμε τα 3 βασικά χαρακτηριστικά των μεσαιωνικών φρουρίων: τον πρώτο περίβολο, το δεύτερο περίβολο που αποτελεί και την ακρόπολη και τον κεντρικό πύργο. Ο εξωτερικός τοίχος του κάστρου έχει σχήμα πολυγωνικό.
Σήμερα το Κάστρο του Πλαταμώνα αποτελεί το σημαντικότερο ίσως αξιοθέατο του νομού Πιερίας και "σήμα κατατεθέν" του νομού.
Castle Platamonas Lombards built by Crusaders in 1204 on the ancient Greek Macedonian Iraclia city and serve the control of "stale" Tempi, strategic passage namely from Macedonia to Thessaly and the top-down supervision of the western entrance of As Thermaikos gulf.
After the conquest of the Byzantine troops, the Turks occupied the castle for the first time around in 1386, but soon fell into Venetian possession. In business for the recapture of the Castle from the Turks in 1425, the Venetians prevailed over 100 Turks were burned alive inside the castle. After 1427 the Venetians lost back control of the Castle of Platamonas, when the Turks established their dominance.
In 1770 it was occupied briefly by the Greeks, as in 1825 and 1878. It was bombed by the master
Sachtouri in 1897 and then abandoned by the Turks.
The fact that the castle was not destroyed by the Turks seems to be due
in strategic importance.
In 1941 the castle was used as a fortress of the New Zealanders, who planned to delay the descent of the Nazis to Thessaly.
In this there are the three main characteristics of medieval fortresses: the first enclosure, the second enclosure which is the citadel and the central tower. The outer wall of the castle has a polygonal shape.
Today the castle of Platamonas is perhaps the most important attraction of Pieria and "trademark" of the county.
L'abside romane, formée d'un polygone à 5 pans, est l'élément fort de l'abbaye. Son répertoire décoratif antiquisant d'oves, de perles et d'acanthes est tout à fait remarquable. La décoration des arcs des niches était assurée par des stucs, dont il reste un fragment.
The Saar Polygon in Ensdorf, Saarland is a monument commemorating the coal mining industry in Saarland, which ended in June 2012.
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.

The Gray Comma is found from Alaska to Newfoundland in the north, south in the Appalahian Mountains to North Carolina, and from Kansas west to Wyoming and Colorado. In Alberta, the Gray Comma occurs throughout forested regions and is usually associated with mixed wood forests. They are sighted frequently along roads and in clearings. (Alberta Butterflies)

Schloss Wernigerode
Die Grafen ließen die Burg als ringförmige Anlage mit einer vieleckigen Ringmauer auf einer vorgeschobenen Bergkuppe des Agnesberges als gut verteidigungsfähige Höhenburg errichten.
Wernigerode Castle
The counts had the castle built as a ring-shaped structure with a polygonal ring wall on a protruding hilltop of the Agnesberg as a well-defensible hilltop castle.
The unique brutalist Welbeck car park, in Marylebone (close to Oxford Circus), London.
Built in 1971 by Michael Blampied and Partners to serve the flagship Debenhams store on Oxford Street, the car park exterior design is composed of tesselate concrete polygons. In 2017 its demolition was approved by Westminister Council. Campaigners are fighting to prevent it being torn down and replaced by a hotel.
An interesting article about the situation on Spaces.

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.
One of the most common forms of patterned ground in Arctic regions are ice wedge polygons. In winter the cold causes frozen soil to shrink, and cracks form (similar to drying mud). In spring meltwater seeps down into the cracks. It freezes and expands when it is chilled by the still-frozen soil. The frozen water forms wedges of ice in the soil. The ice wedges tend to increase in size year after year. I found these patterns by chance flying a drone over tundra. It is much harder to observe these polygons from ground level.
