The comma is a medium-sized orange-and-brown butterfly. It gets its name from the comma-shaped white spots on the underneath of its wings. It is on the wing throughout the year, having several broods and overwintering as an adult. It is a common and widespread butterfly of woodland edges, particularly during the spring and autumn. The caterpillars feed on common nettles, elms and willows.
They have brown and white flecks that make them look like bird-droppings and help to camouflage them.
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.
Plaza de Toros de Valencia, oficialmente Plaça de bous de València. Fue construido entre 1850 y 1859 en estilo neoclásico, inspirado en la arquitectura civil romana como el Coliseo de Roma o la Arena de Nimes (Francia). Fue construido por el arquitecto valenciano Sebastián Monleón Estellés. Su estructura está formada por un polÃgono de 48 lados, con 384 arcos exteriores. Sigue el llamado estilo neomudéjar.

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. :)

I could not get a ventral shot. I will post one later if I get one.
Elk Island National Park, Alberta.
Much different from the ventral view on my first post.

Aquest és el campanar de l'antiga catedral de Sent Liser. Aquest estil constructiu és molt caracteristic del romanic del entorn tolosà .
La vila de Sent LÃser (Saint Lizier en francès) es troba en un puig sobre el riu Salat, just al nord de St. Girons. Té la particularitat de comptar amb no una, sino DUES ex-catedrals. Aquesta és una de les dues, l'altra es troba al cim del nucli antic, i s'anomena N. D. de la Sède. Una cosa molt complicada de legalisme canonic medieval. Sembla que va tenir un sol bisbe però amb dos capitols catedralicis separats. En fi.

=============================================
A view of the romanesque bell-tower of the former cathedral of St. Lizier. This style of tower is quite usual in the Garonne basin.
Saint Lizier (Sent LÃser in occitan) is nice old village above the Salat river. It has the really unusual detail of having TWO former cathedrals. I can't really understand what happened, but it seems that in the middle ages it was the seat of a bishop, but with two cathedrals, and all was abolished during the French Revolution. The other (former) cathedral is known as N. D. de-la-Sède.
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.
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)
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.
Shot with a Nikon D40 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens and processed in GIMP (including the addition of a light Orton effect) and Photoscape.
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.
Stone polygons, formed by frost uplifting of soil, at Þórðarhöfði in N-Iceland. My hiking shoes do little for the aesthetics of the image, but thought they might help to add scale to this geological phenomenon.
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.
