This night photograph of part of Tower Bridge was taken from the bridge pier looking towards the North Bank of River Thames during my recent visit to London.
The vertical bars held by pin connections from the blue primary members carried the bridge deck and traffic loads. The traffic light trails complemented the intricate structural patterns as seen from the bridge pier.
Best wishes for a wonderful week.
(full colour mix) Coleyville country. ...from an Easter Monday drive with Ernie to Rosevale, via Coleyville, and up the Kerwitz Road. Ernie is 91 and retired from his diary farm in the area about 34 years ago. There are changes in farmers' approaches in the area as the diary industry structurally adjusts to a modern economy. There are very few diary farms left. Most of the land has been given over to beef cattle (as with this one), horse studs and hobby farms. Whether or not this is a good thing remains to be seen...

The Agora of Perge within one of the most well-designed and planned cities of Roman Anatolian provides an example of this type through its plan and structural characteristics. The Agora positioned to the east of the Hellenistic Period Gate is surrounded by a wide stoa and there is a paved area surrounded by columned galleries. There are shops behind the galleries paved with ornate floor mosaics. Unlike the contemporary examples in Anatolia, the doors to the Perge Agora stores were arranged to open towards inside or outside alternatively. The entrances are in the centre of each of the porticos. The open area on the western side these structures was employed as a main entrance hall. Given the natural slope of the area, it is possible to say that the south side of the Agora was of two storeys.
The place termed the Agora (Bazaar) was subsequently called as the Macellum, as meat and fish as well as luxury goods such as perfume were sold here.
It was the second largest Agora in Turkey in terms of its size, consisting of three nested squares. The inner area measuring 51 x 51 m is of compacted soil. The tools of circular plan situated in the middle of this area could have been a temple, as at Side. However in the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) period, water pipes were placed in the walls around the tholos podium and consequently this structure is thought to have then been employed as an agiasma.

This image is looking up at balconies of Wardian London, one of two similar towers in Canary Wharf, East London, using intentional camera movement. The architects are Glenn Howells.
I like to think this photo has the feel of a scientific abstract image taken by the great photographer Berenice Abbott (1898 to 1991).

This is Gateway House, completed in 1969. Architect: Richard Seifert.
Situated in the Carmichael estate, Lanark, the Carmichael family have been in existence since the 1300AD but this house was built in the 16th century after the two parts of the Carmichael family split around 1500AD. The first reference to the house was on the ordnance maps dated 1654AD, The house went through some structural changes up until 1789AD. During the war in 1940 it housed the Polish army stationed in the area.The last member of the family Richard Carmichael inherited the house in 1980 but due to extensive dry rot all efforts to save this house failed & it fell into dereliction from that moment on.

Sometimes you think nothing is a coincidence. Moments after finishing this GIMPed abstract of "The Wave", I saw a photograph that had many similarities. So I copied the very suitable title of that photo.

A view up into the canopy on a misty morning in Little Wittenham Wood, South Oxfordshire. I was taken by the snaking structure of the branches as the reach up into the sky.
Blue turned out to be the dominant colour in this photo. From the blue 1955 Pontiac Chieftain, to the balconies and doors. Even another MYL derrière mural is blue. This was taken in near Habana harbour, in front of Family Pedroso historic (what is not historic in Havana?) building. Now Palacio de la Artesiana. The balcony is on this 18 century building is 32 meters long and still structurally sound. A miracle. This time of a year, I would have a room booked for January somewhere in Cuba already.

These beautiful blue shades on the wings of Heliconius sara are purely iridescence, or structural coloration. The wings need to be at just the right angle to fully reveal these stunning colors.
