My first time on shooting from this side of Science World. Now that the Olympic Village is open, I will definitely come back.
My wife and I were shooting at the same location. Have a look at her stream, too.
Thanks everyone for their kind comments, faves and visits!
Just before dawn, with the Milky Way arching over the Paranal Observatory in Chile.
Four 8m diameter telescopes which toghether make the largest telescope in the world.
10 Frame pano stiched with Lightroom CC.
This is inspired from the movie Weird Science, definitely an 80's classic that I was addicted to watching!

NEMO Science Museum
The green Nemo building
NEMO Science Museum (from latin Nobody) is a science center in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is located in the Oosterdokseiland neighborhood in the Amsterdam-Centrum borough, situated between the Oosterdokseiland and the Kattenburg. The museum has its origins in 1923, and is housed in a building designed by Renzo Piano since 1997. It contains five floors of hands-on science exhibitions and is the largest science center in the Netherlands.

For Looking Close...on Friday!'s #letters theme
Where would be without these letters? They define everything around us!
The periodic table: taken from "The Secret Life of the Periodic Table". Bought to try to stimulate my sons' interest in science...unfortunately, no visible obvious results as yet. But there's still time...
Berkeley High School
Streamline Moderne style designed by architects Henry H. Gutterson and William G. Corlett.
A nice trio of NASA test aircraft performing a fly past at Edwards AFB. The F-15 in this mix is actually the oldest flying F-15 out there.
Blinded by science, I'm on the run
I'm not an appliance, don't turn me on
What's in the future, has it just begun
Blinded by science, I'm on the run...

..with an egg I made the rocket. The smoke is cotton wool. The moon and the astronaut are models.

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.

The fine greens of a perfectly maintained Japanese lawn go very well with the finest brutalism.

What do you think? Are they watching Nibiru?
I apologize everyone for not really being able to visit all your streams and comment on everyone's wonderful photos. Unfortunately i need to post and run again, going to dinner, then mini golfing. My sister, mom and dad and peanut are leaving tomorrow. I will miss them so MUCH!!!! :(
I will be returning to my 365 project tomorrow.
c-ya, <3, happy monday!
Scale: field of view is approx. 25 cm by 15 cm.
This photo shows a cross-sectional view (a roughly planar surface perpendicular to the originally flat sedimentary bedding/layering). The reddish-brown (oxidized, rusty) vertical linear structures are the fossilized impressions (casts, traces) of plant roots that grew downward into sandy soil (later buried and lithified into sandstone). Some of the root structures show downward branching: inverted V shapes or inverted Y shapes (the 'wishbone' shape near the upper right corner is the best-defined example of this). Preservation of the root structures is patchy and irregular in some places.
The original sedimentary bedding (flat to low-angle layering) is faintly visible in a few spots: near the upper left and lower right corners of the view, low-angle laminations (sloping down to the left) in the sandstone are the internal micro-layering of preserved ripple structures. To recognize such subtle details, it helps to have the 'expert eye' of a clastic sedimentologist, a type of geologist that specializes in this sort of thing.
This view of sedimentary geological details is from a boulder of Paskapoo Formation sandstone (Early Tertiary age: ca. 60 million years old) that has been used as building stone at a site in south Calgary. Back in Early Tertiary time, sand and mud (later lithified into Paskapoo Fm. sandstone and shale) were deposited in and around rivers (in river channels, and on the floodplains adjacent to the main river channels) in what is now southern Alberta, and unsurprisingly, plants would have grown on the floodplain (overbank) areas, just as they do near rivers today.
See other examples of geological details in my "Paskapoo Fm. sandstone" and "Field geology: bedrock exposures" albums.
