an unusual shape at BALLS 29. It flew on a soft sparky motor, and rose slowly up into the sky.

First Bradford got 6 of these Volvo B7 RLEs from Greater Manchester during 2024, all started life elsewhere though, most in South West England. They have carried many liveries since they were new 15 years ago. This example was one of the first in the latest new livery and as such carries this early variation at the front. Despite the age they must be half decent buses, out most days even Sundays as shown here. 69447 climbs towards the terminus at Upper Eldwick above Bingley. This section of road is usually a dark tunnel of leaves and trees but a cloudy day in Winter makes a shot possible.
The rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid (geometry) and one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces. It has 20 regular triangular faces, 30 square faces, 12 regular pentagonal faces, 60 vertices, and 120 edges.

Figured I should upload this before it's gets to be too many months after Winterlude 2015.
A Section Commander from 4th Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment directs his troops during a patrol through the Australian Bush.
In one of the first military exercises of its kind, British Army Reservists have been training with their Australian counterparts in the subtropical bushland of New South Wales.
A platoon of 30 Reservists of the 4th Battalion The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (4 LANCS) spent a week living and working outdoors in the harsh bush landscape surrounding Lone Pine Barracks, home to the Australian Army School of Infantry, north of Sydney.
The unit, which recruits from across North West England, was taking part in a 400 strong training exercise alongside Reservists of the Australian Army - the first time a British Army Reserve unit has been invited to do so.

This church dates from 1699, but was originally built in Viseu de Jos. It was brought to Botiza
at the end of the 19th century, replacing an earlier church which was demolished and donated to Hoteni's denominational school as a building material.
In plan, the naos and pronaos make up a rectangle, from which the polygonal sanctuary apse protrudes. At the west end there is an open porch which is larger than is usual in Maramures churches. The roof has eaves at two levels, the lower eaves being continuous all around the building.
A bell tower with a gallery and a slender spire rises above the pronaos. Note the door frame at the entrance, which is decorated in the style of a Maramures gate, and the twisted rope motif carved around the church. In 1899, after the church had been brought to Botiza, the interior was restored and painted by Dionisie luga and his daughter Aurelia, painters from Nicula (a centre of traditional religious painting near Gherla in Transylvania). The painting consists largely of floral motifs. The iconostasis paintings are probably older than those on the walls.
Note on the inside of the entrance door, the painting of Death with a scythe accompanied by several moralizing inscriptions (by an unknown artist).
"Supernova" 840+30 units With my hand.(I didn't want to risk trying to hold something this big one-handed for a picture.)
The World's Most Complex Geometric Woven Structure, and The Largest Wireframe Ever Made! I think everyone following my work has been waiting for years for me to design something that "blows the books" of complexity. Also, I wanted to see a new record breaker in terms of the number of units used that was not just another spiky planar ball. It may be a bit ambitious to call this the world's most complex geometric structure, but I haven't seen anything more complex. Even with years of experience, there was points where I would lose track of where I was at with the weaving process.
This model also tests some of the limits of paper. Although all of the proportions are fine, there are still a few points where the units "flatten out" under the sheer weight of this model if they are on the underside. Wireframe models can be designed such that their strength is greater than their weight, and thus edge interaction was designed here for the most part for ideal stability. Still, considering 75.937 sheets of 24lb copy paper are used here, this is definitely pushing the limits.
Also, there is, fairly obviously, a solid dodecahedron embedded within this structure, used for the initial design process. I do not believe it is required for support, and seriously considered removing it, but everything is so snug and stable as is that I figured I wouldn't disturb it. I even considered refolding this without the dodecahedron, but there is that issue of 840 units.
I still tend to wonder whether such a contrived structure exists as some kind of geometric abstraction or was a pure creation. I'm not sure if even I could could replicate this without the original model in hand.

Turbines Tessellation Star
I designed this star more than a year ago, and never posted a picture of it because I planned on fully tessellating it. I was still thinking on tessellating it not long ago, and refolded a single molecule out of better paper than the original.

The Lena delta is one of the largest still pristine river deltas in the world. Its many naturally meandering arms form a magnificent tree-like shape. And ice wedges in the fine sediments of the treeless tundra form regular polygons with small ponds. The whole of the Lena Delta area has been nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On August 12, 1996, the Russian Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) significantly expanded the Lena Delta state nature reserve. At 14,330 square kilometres, the Lena Delta reserve ("Zapovednik") was already one of the largest and most important nature reserves in the Arctic. With its new size of 61,320 square kilometres, the expanded Lena Delta Reserve is now the largest protected area in Russia and one of the largest on earth. It is, however, only a small part of Sakha’s “Gift to the Earth”. Sakha, a republic approximately the size of Western Europe, decided in 1994 to designate at least 20% of its territory as a nature reserve.
