Gracie gives Siera a sponge bath after our ride.
One of the nicest things about having a well behaved animal [and a youngster with horse sense], is knowing that I can step back and let them work togther.
CSX Q212 southbound on the River Sub in Newburgh NY. on 08-11-2021. These three ex CSX SD40-2's were rebuilt into SD40-3's and the railfan community affectionately gave them the nickname of "Sponge Bob" because of their squared off rebuilt cab profile looking similiar to the cartoon character Sponge Bob Square Pants. 4006 was ex CSX 8078,4227 was ex 8114,and 4036 was ex 8012. Q212 is a combo stack and rack train operating between Buffalo NY and Port Newark NJ. Howard Kent Jr.
More incredible sessile life out on the Bare Island bommie. The pale blue-green tint is due to this being a wide, long shot at depth (about 15 m). The sea water cuts the red light, and flash light can only reach the foreground.
Here is another version of my Menger Sponge Tessellation, level 2. Actually, this was the original one designed in 2014, but when I first folded it, I decided to include the inner sides, too.
I folded this one last month, in a quite strict time, to be able to send it for the upcoming Origami Universe exhibition, as my other version was at the Bridges 2016 exhibition these days in Jyväskylä, Finland.
I documented a few steps of the folding process on fb, and this time it took less than 3 weeks to complete it...
Design: Alessandro Beber, 2014
Folded in July 2016, from a 70 cm regular hexagon of dark green StarDream paper.

My crystal ball told me that the sponge for my bread would rise up...and it did!
Many sponge species have symbiotic relationships with algae (like corals) and cyanobacteria. In my dives this week I saw what appeared to be sponge bleaching in both Port Hacking and Manly - most likely related to water temperature
My new Holga camera, just for the holiday, had its sponge inserts come free and roll around the film. It happens to us all...:) There's a group just for it..!
When I was younger, my parents used to tell me "our son, study hard for a better future". I was stubborn and didn't exactly do what they asked me to do. I studied harder and harder, a lot more that what I was told. Then after 20yrs I ended up in one of these cells :). So I guess the take home message is: "Always lesson to your parents"...
Simmons Hall, designed by Steven Holl as an exploration of porosity, built for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the height of the iconic architecture era.
To prevent the construction of a compact block because of the peculiarity of the terrain (long and narrow), who closed with its imposing the free circulation of air and visual Charles River, Holl has designed a building "porous" with a transparent skin and with large openings on the landscape.
Designed like a sponge, construction is defined by exterior walls marked by more than 3,000 small openings, spaced by larger openings in correspondence with common services, with the entrances and outdoor spaces.
