I took a Night Photography class sponsored by Desert Botanical Garden and taught by Ryan Parra - a photography professor at Mesa Community College and Arizona State University. I learned a lot and practiced a lot. I really feel that I had improved significantly by the end of the class. One big problem with classes like this is keeping other photographers out of the frame.
This HYBYCOZO sculpture is titled Pyrite Field. It greets visitors in the Ottosen Entry Garden. Any correction will be appreciated.

LIGHT BLOOM by HYBYCOZO is a limited-time exhibit where nature and light converge. This mesmerizing display invites you to explore the Garden transformed by stunning geometric light installations that illuminate the beauty of the desert landscape in a new way. As the sun sets, LIGHT BLOOM comes to life, casting intricate shadows and vibrant hues across the Garden. Wander the trails and let the enchanting installations transport you to a magical realm where the natural world meets the abstract.
HYBYCOZO is the collaborative studio of artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk. Based in Los Angeles, their work consists of larger than life geometric sculptures, often with pattern and texture that draw on inspirations from mathematics, science, and natural phenomena. Typically illuminated, the work celebrates the inherent beauty of form and pattern and represents their ongoing journey in exploring the myriad dimensions of geometry. HYBYCOZO is short for the Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone, a nod to their favorite novel (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and was the title of their first installation in 2014. They continue to create under this name. In the novel earth was being destroyed to make way for a bypass. It lead Serge and Yelena to ask what it means to make art at a time where the earth’s hospitable time in the universe may be limited.

Q: Walk us through your creative process?
A: The focus of our creative process is to explore the intricate interplay between geometry, light, space and to inspire contemplation, wonder and a sense of place among our audiences. Geometry and pattern-making serve as the backbone of our creative expression. It is the framework through which we navigate the complexities of form, proportion and spatial relationships. Patterns, both simple and complex, have a profound impact on our perception and understanding of the world. They possess the ability to evoke a sense of order, balance and aesthetic pleasure. Pattern making and geometry offer us a means of storytelling and communication. These patterns serve as conduits for deeper exploration, provoking introspection and contemplation to uncover the underlying symbols embedded within the human psyche.
Q: What inspired the concept of LIGHT BLOOM?
A: Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset, blossoming with light and transforming the night into a glowing landscape of art and geometry.
Desert Botanical Garden has an incredible collection of plants and cacti arranged in a beautiful park setting.
"Think the desert is all dirt and tumbleweeds? Think again. Desert Botanical Garden is home to thousands of species of cactus, trees and flowers from all around the world spread across 55 acres in Phoenix, Arizona."

My first Dragon MOC and my entry for Dragonland.
Special thanks to Dennis Qiu for his advice on proportion.
Original Concept was the exception work of my best friend Staven Andersen based on my work of Vandaria: Winterflame. I also take some idea from Graven Jung concept art.
Brythorn Arxellias is a zombie dragon resurrected by a very powerful magician, while he is no longer breathing fire, he breath a burning frozen flame.
The Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew, commonly known as Wells Cathedral, is an Anglican cathedral in Wells, Somerset. The cathedral, dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle, is the seat of the Bishop of Bath and Wells. It is the mother church of the diocese and contains the bishop's throne (cathedra). It was built between 1175 and 1490, replacing an earlier church built on the same site in 705. It is moderately sized among the medieval cathedrals of England, between those of massive proportion such as Lincoln and York and the smaller cathedrals in Oxford and Carlisle. With its broad west front and large central tower, it is the dominant feature of its small cathedral city and a landmark in the Somerset countryside. Wells has been described as "unquestionably one of the most beautiful" and as "the most poetic" of English cathedrals.
The Registan - the 3 buildings here are amongst the world's oldest preserved medrassas, anything older having been destroyed by Genghis Khan.
The Registan was the heart of the ancient city of Samarkand of the Timurid dynasty, now in Uzbekistan. The name Registan means "Sandy place" in Persian.
The Registan was a public square, where people gathered to hear royal proclamations, heralded by blasts on enormous copper pipes called dzharchis - and a place of public executions. It is framed by three madrasahs (Islamic schools) of distinctive Islamic architecture.
The three madrassas of the Registan are: the Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417–1420), the Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646–1660) and the Sher-Dor Madrasah (1619–1636). Madrassa is an Arabic term meaning school.
15th Century - Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417–1420)
The Ulugh Beg Madrasah, built during the Timurid Empire era of Timur—Tamerlane, has an imposing Iwan portal with lancet arch facing the square. The corners are flanked by the high well-proportioned minarets. The mosaic panel over the iwan's entrance arch is decorated by geometrical stylized ornaments. The square courtyard includes a mosque, lecture rooms, and is fringed by the dormitory cells in which students lived. There are deep galleries along the axes. Originally the Ulugh Beg Madrasah was a two-storied building with four domed darskhonas (lecture rooms) at the corners.
17th century - Sher-Dor Madrasah 1619–1636)
In the 17th century the ruler of Samarkand, Yalangtush Bakhodur, ordered the construction of the Sher-Dor and Tillya-Kori madrasahs. The Sher-Dor (Having Tigers) Madrasah was designed by the architect Abdujabor. The decoration of the madrasah is not as refined as that on the Ulugh Beg madrasah of the 15th century - the "golden age" of Timurid Samarkand architecture. Yet the harmony of large and small rooms, exquisite mosaic decor, monumentality and efficient symmetry, all place the structure among the finest architectural monuments of Samarkand.
Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646–1660)
Ten years later the Tilya-Kori ("Gilded") Madrassa was built. It was not only a residential college for students, but also played the role of grand masjid (mosque). It has a two-storied main facade and a vast courtyard fringed by dormitory cells, with four galleries along the axes.
I experienced Canyon de Chelly from both its rim and its bottom lands. The experience was truly awesome.
The canyon was inhabited by pueblo-dwelling peoples hundreds of years ago and it still a summer home to many Dineh (Navajo) families today. The canyon is located in the Navajo Reservation in Chinle, Arizona. I spent three nights in Chinle.
The bottom of the canyon is illed with loose sand and in the dry season a jeep ride through it is like an ocean ride in choppy water in h high-speed motor boat. What an experience! With the help of our local guides we learned about the historic and present relationship between the canyon and the Dineh.
While I was able to take photos of the abandoned pueblos and petroglyphs, I'm focusing upon the land in this trio. I was not able to take phots of modern Dineh dwellings, land, or people because doing so went against their customs.
Note: I am posting the shot with the vehicles driving in front of the jeep I was in to give a sense of proportion

C'est la famille des Essarts qui va créer Ambleville, même si rien n'atteste ou ne confirme d'une époque antérieure. Une famille qui s'alliera au XVI à la famille des Mornay, famille illustre. C'est la famille des Mornay qui va donner l'ensemble italien que l'on peut voir aujourd'hui. Le château et les jardins s'inspirent directement des traditions toscanes d'Italie ce qui confère au château une ressemble très net avec des châteaux de la Loire, toute proportion gardé bien sûr. Mais cette architecture aux portes du Vexin est à ma connaissance unique. Surtout qu'il a eu la chance ( ou la malchance ) d'être sur un ancien château médiéval. Mme de Maintenon y viendra régulièrement avec ses enfants illégitimes à l'époque.
It was the Essarts family who created Ambleville, even though there is no evidence or confirmation of an earlier period. A family which in the 16th century allied itself to the Mornay family, an illustrious family. It was the Mornay family who created the Italianate ensemble that can be seen today. The castle and the gardens are directly inspired by the Tuscan traditions of Italy, which gives the castle a clear resemblance with the castles of the Loire, all proportion kept of course. But this architecture at the gates of the Vexin is, to my knowledge, unique. Especially that it had the chance (or the misfortune) to be on an old medieval castle. Mme de Maintenon came there regularly with her illegitimate children at the time.
I thought this was quite a dramatic flight shot of a Cuckoo flying past like a paper dart. I took this one a few days ago when there were two males chasing each other on the Peak District moors.
Cuckoos are suffering a massive population nosedive in Britain, but particularly those in England. All British Cuckoos winter in the same area of central Africa but they don't all take the same route. 42 Cuckoos from nine breeding areas were satellite tagged and bizarrely most of the English Cuckoos take a different migratory route to most of the Cuckoos from Wales and Scotland. Most English birds took the shorter route via Spain with others taking a longer route via Italy or the Balkans. Despite the route via Spain being shorter, the proportion of birds using it strongly correlated with the population decline. It seems that most of the mortality occurs before the Cuckoos even reach Africa. West flying birds spend more time fattening up in Britain before migrating. Big caterpillars are the main food of Cuckoos and the decline in these is more pronounced on the western route. The decline in big caterpillars, coupled with the increased frequency of droughts in Spain are the suspected causes of the rapid decline in Cuckoos.
In a city that never sleeps where hustle and bustle is an integral part of everyday life, Plaza de Oriente is a haven of peace and tranquillity. The landscaped gardens are enclosed in a kind of semi-circular design. It's a leafy area with plants and trees beside broad walkways, one of which is lined with the statues of Spanish kings from the medieval period.
There are 44 statues of Spanish monarchs lining the square. They range from the Gothic period up to the time when the country was reunified following the defeat of the Moors in 15th century. They also seem a little out of proportion, but this is simply because the statues were originally designed to be installed on top of the palace. However, the architects felt that the statues were too heavy and they were left at ground level.
Taking centre stage of Plaza de Oriente is a huge statue of Felipe IV astride a horse that was modelled from an art piece by Veláquez. It stands on a large pedestal and is indeed a striking sculpture.
Its designer, Pietro Tacca, was afraid that the rearing horse could not be balanced properly, and that it would fall forward under its own weight. The famous Italian astronomer, Galileo Galilei, came to his rescue by suggesting that the front rearing part of the sculpture should be hollow, and therefore relatively light, with the back part solid to anchor the weight.
Plaza de Oriente was not finished in its present form until the reign of Isabel II. During this time the Teatro Real, the Royal Theatre, was also built opposite the palace on the east side of the square.

14 years in this tiny condo, 26 stories above Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta. And the sunsets never fail to illuminate the beauty of the skyline. I love the proportion of earth to sky... blue to orange... and lights to building silhouettes.

First attempt to build a motobike, totally different from building cars, although it's the same proportion on both sides, the real mechanism is quite different.
It still needs more improvement, but for now, i will drink my tea first and enjoy the MOC on my table ^____^
The National Gallery Singapore, often known exonymously as the National Gallery, is a public institution and national museum dedicated to art and culture located in the Civic District of Singapore. It oversees the world's largest public collection of Singaporean and regional art of the Eastern world, specifically of Southeast Asia, with a collection of more than 9,000 items.
The Gallery aims to provide an understanding and appreciation of art and culture through a variety of media, focusing on Singapore's culture and heritage and its relationship with other Asian cultures and the world. It consists of two national monuments, the former Supreme Court and former City Hall buildings, and has a combined floor area of 64,000 square metres (690,000 sq ft), making it the largest visual arts venue and largest museum in Singapore. A total cost of approximately S$532 million has gone into the National Gallery Singapore's development.
For the breadth, scope, and magnitude of its collections, the National Gallery Singapore is widely considered by art enthusiasts as being one of the greatest art museums in Singapore and the region. Subsequently, it is one of the most visited art museums in the world, often attracting almost two million visitors annually. Admission to the National Gallery Singapore is complimentary for Singaporean citizens and permanent residents.
The National Gallery also houses various fine dining restaurants that has won global accolades. These include Odette, a restaurant that has been rated as being one of the best in Asia – in addition to having three Michelin stars, as well as the National Kitchen by Violet Oon.
The museum is composed of a combination of the Former Supreme Court Building and City Hall, both of which are national monuments and have played significant roles in Singapore's history. The buildings face the Padang, an open field. Through link bridges and a new basement level, the design for the National Gallery integrates the City Hall and former Supreme Court buildings, combining both old and new architecture.
The Supreme Court was built on the site of the former Grand Hotel de l'Europe, one of the most palatial hotels in Southeast Asia that was demolished in 1936. Designed by Frank Dorrington Ward, Chief Architect of the Public Works Department, the former Supreme Court building was built to house Supreme Court offices and courtrooms and was declared open on 3 August 1939. This building is the former courthouse of the Supreme Court of Singapore, before it moved into the new building on 20 June 2005. The architecture of the former Supreme Court building is in harmony with that of its neighbour, City Hall. The general layout of the building exemplifies British colonial architecture, comprising four blocks of offices and courtrooms surrounding a central rotunda with a dome that was originally used to house a circular law library. It was to be the last classical building to be built in Singapore. United Engineers Ltd was the building contractor. The Corinthian and Ionic columns, sculptures and relief panels were the works of Italian artist, Cavaliere Rudolfo Nolli. There are the tympanum sculptures and ornamented frieze panels.
The City Hall building was constructed between 1926 and 1929 and was originally known as the Municipal Building. Designed by the British Municipal architects A. Gordon and S. D. Meadows, it was used to house the offices of the Municipal Council, which was responsible for the provision of water, electricity, gas, roads, bridges and street lighting. From 1963 to 1991, City Hall came to house offices of several government departments and courtrooms. The building was vacated in 2006. City Hall has been the focal point of many important events in the history of Singapore. It was in the City Hall building that Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten, on behalf of the Allied forces, accepted the surrender of the Japanese forces on 12 September 1945.
The building also housed the office of Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, the first prime minister of Singapore. Mr. Lee and members of his Cabinet took their Oaths of Allegiance and Oaths of Office on 5 June 1959 in the City Hall Chamber. It was gazetted on 14 February 1992 as a national monument. The original layout of City Hall is a typical example of neoclassical British architecture. The building's interior is modestly proportioned, but its front façade is distinguished by 18 three-storey-high Corinthian columns facing the Padang.

He is out of proportion in this sketch, but it kinda looks like him, anyway. Fred Milton follows me from room to room all day long.
The cooling towers at the decommissioned Radcliffe-on-Soar power station, Nottingham. Putting into proportion the need for green energy...
With ships this sizes one loses all sense of proportion. It helps to keep in mind that those are forty-foot equivalent unit (FEU) containers. Each container is 40 feet (more than 12 metres) long and 8 feet (around 2.5 metres) wide and high.
That puts things into perspective, doesn't it? And Ever Golden can carry 10,000 FEU containers or 20,000 TEU containers.
The stack you can see is 59 metres wide and almost 18 metres tall, counted from the ship's deck.
Note that there is some issue with sharpness in this picture. That is because near the end of the roll the batteries were flat and had to be replaced. This had a detrimental effect on the metering and the autofocus. So if you wondered how many rolls of film can be shot with a load of eight AA batteries: The answer is sixteen. I always rewound the films manually, which may have saved some battery life.

At the Wartime in the Vale 2025 event. Ashdown Camp, at Ashdown Farm, off Badsey Road, Evesham, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Sunday 22nd of June 2025.
About the photograph.
I dabble in vexillology, not really a serious interest, just a bit of passing interest in the study of flags.
I was attending a military vehicles re-enactment event when I saw this flag flying at one the camps, so I took a series of shots using high continuous frame rate mode.
This is the national flag of Australia.
It is a 1:2 proportion flag with a blue field, and the British Union Flag in the canton (the upper left side), with a large white star in the lower hoist quarter (lower left side), plus five small stars forming the Southern Cross constellation on the fly half (the right side of the flag).
Other way to describe the flag would be to say the Blue Ensign defaced with the Southern Cross on the fly half.
It was designed from 1901 onwards, and was adopted on 11th February 1903.
The large star is referred as the Commonwealth Star, while the five stars on the fly side, being the Southern Cross is because the constellation can be seen in the Southern Hemisphere.
About the event.
Wartime in the Vale is an annual re-enactment event, held at the former Second World War camp, next to the town of Evesham, during the summer. The event is organised by the Military Vehicle Trust – South Midlands Area.
The event is held during the weekend, and believed to have at least more than 500 military vehicles of various eras, but mostly of First and Second World Wars, on display as well as re-enactment events in the main arena, including blank firing of weapons. They even have a flypast over the area.
The Ashdown Camp is a 40 acres site, with some old WWII era buildings, mainly huts, located near the Ashdown Farm, just to the east of Evesham.
Feel free to comment on the photo, on the subject of the photo, or of your experience.

One of the biggest gentrification projects in the city...
located almost in the centre of the city, is a quirky, urban conundrum in the throes of a government gentrification drive. Officially, they are calling it a renewal programm – in reality, it’s a complete makeover and redevelopment, involving tearing down old structures, which are part of Istanbul’s architectural heritage, to make way for a new commercial zone, comprising shopping centres, malls and hotels.
In Bangladesh, a large proportion of marine and freshwater fish landings are processed by drying. Dry fish is locally called ‘Shutki’. In winter, many fishermen catch fish mainly to make dry fish. But traditional drying methods are used in the absence of a modern dry fish preservation facility. Most of time they dry fish under sun; these dried fish can bring them profit by exporting them. The fish is also exported to different countries after meeting local demand, traders say. Demand for fish drying labor corresponds with the lunar cycle, with two high and two low weeks each month. A flexible labor force is thus required, and most workers are hired on a daily basis. These casual laborers, who often lack alternative employment options, are usually able to find work for around 15 days per month, but sometimes as few as 10. The working day runs from dawn to dusk (roughly 6.00 am to 6.00 pm), and there is a strong gender division of labor. Men perform tasks which include washing fresh fish, applying pesticides to prevent fly infestation, hanging fish up to dry on scaffolding, weighing and bagging dried product and loading it onto trucks. Women are responsible primarily for sorting fresh fish by species, tying pairs of churri and loitya together so that they can be hung up, and turning and further sorting of mixed fish species during the drying process. At least 50% of the causal laborers employed are women & child. Workers said they get daily wage of Tk 300 in addition to some raw fish.
