As a photographer, a common theme I like to find is minimal geometry and patterns in nature or man-made objects.
This photo represents geometrical patterns and shapes created by the architecture and reflection of the Prudential Plaza in Jacksonville, FL. I walk past this building so many times, but one day managed to stand underneath it, and discovered this magic.
The architect is KBJ Architects from Jacksonville, FL, a firm responsible for shaping the incoming Jacksonville skyline we have today.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts or comments on how I can improve this.

The male Anna’s Hummingbird moved its head while I was photographing it which showed the amazing transformation of colour when viewed from the right angle. I decided to put two of the images together to show the effect that a simple head-turn can have on its appearance.
In 1665 Robert Hooke wrote a book called Micrographia in which he noted that the shining colours on a peacock’s feather disappeared when the feather was plunged into water, but reappeared when returned to air. This showed that the colours cannot be due to pigments, but must be due to something structural in the feather. When you see rainbow colours in an oily puddle that is because oil and water don’t mix so the oil forms a microscopically thin layer on the water’s surface. We see light reflecting from the surface of the oil, but also from the surface of the water, just a few thousandths of a millimetre away through the oil. But that light has refracted, or bent, because oil is denser than air. The intereference between these two light waves creates colours, and the exact colour we see depends on the thickness of the oil layer. Something similar happens with the throat feathers of Hummingbirds, but it is more complicated. Firstly, the barbules that make up a feather usually have a rounded surface but in Hummingbirds they are flat. Secondly these barbules have up to 15 microscopically thin, transparent, air-filled layers of keratin called melanosomes. The light waves reflect off each of these layers, but when viewed from the correct angle the waves line up and intensify the colours, creating the dazzling iridescence. But when viewed from the wrong angle the reflected light waves are higgledy-piggledy cancelling each other out. Rather like the colours on an oily puddle, the thickness of these layers of melanosomes creates different colours, with thinner layers producing colours at the violet end of the spectrum, and thicker layers producing colours at the red end.
"The Kelpies are a pair of monumental steel horse-heads between the Scottish towns of Falkirk and Grangemouth. They stand next to the M9 motorway and form the eastern gateway of the Forth and Clyde Canal, which meets the River Carron here. [...]
The sculptures, which represent kelpies, were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013. An unveiling ceremony took place in April 2014.
[...]
Built of structural steel with a stainless steel cladding, The Kelpies are 30 metres (100') high and weigh 300 tonnes each." (Wikipedia)
We saw many pictures of the Kelpies and in every single one showing them at night they were beautifully lit.
Not on this day.
I have no idea why. They were still very impressive but not as I imagined.

A quick photo op this afternoon when we stopped at an intersection and I had my little Sony handy. There are a lot of nice details in this warm sandstone building, St John the Evangelist Episcopal Church, built in 1895, Elkhart, Indiana.
This time, a black and white view looking up at the curvaceous balconies of the 'Riverwalk' apartments, overlooking the River Thames at Westminster, in London. Architects: Stanton Williams.
The Leon County Courthouse & Jail have both architectural and historical significance. The courthouse & old jail are simple yet dignified expressions with Classical lines; the 1918 jail (seen in the photo above) displays Medieval military architectural elements. All are located on the Centerville public square which has been the center of governmental activities since the founding of the town.
Late in 1885, the courthouse at that time burned and a resolution was introduced to build a new courthouse on the same plan as the old. Several years later the county judge and four county commissioners determined to build a new jail. Facilities for the detention of criminals up to this time had never been satisfactory. The orders which had authorized a new jail in 1873 culminated in the purchase of a store building from V.H. McAnnally for $2,500. This served as a temporary jail which was entirely also unsatisfactory.
Finally in 1893, a contract for the construction of a new jail was awarded to contractors Robb and Wilson for $3,850 and shortly there after the old temporary jail was sold at public auction. Early in 1894 it was completed and a new fence was set up around the building. In 1906, new cells furnished by the Southern Structural Steel Company were installed, and various repairs were made. Since this jail still proved inadequate, a second jail was built near the courthouse and the earlier jail. In 1918, the Southern Structural Steel Company of San Antonio was contracted to build a new jail, according to plans they furnished. The building was completed and accepted that year. The style of the 1918 jail symbolized strength. Incorporated into the design are corner towers and crenellations — representations of Medieval military architectural features.
Although the building is no longer used for detention, it is still sound and serves county functions such as the office of the county surveyor and others. And, for its political & governmental history and its architecture, the jail (along with the county courthouse) were added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 12, 1977. All of the information above was found on the original documents that can be viewed here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
