Kampong Glam (Singapore's Muslim Quarter) features many early shophouse style architecture (c. 1840s–1900s), characterized by
narrow, two-story, low-ceilinged structures with minimal plaster ornamentation. These conserved buildings often feature five-foot ways with arched walkways, French windows with louvered shutters, and, today, are renowned for vibrant murals, colorful facades, and independent boutique shops.
These are some of the earliest, most intimate shophouses in Singapore, with many just over 4 meters wide.
Gazetted as part of the Kampong Glam Conservation Area in 1989, these buildings maintain their historical structure while being adapted for modern retail, cafes, and restaurants.
When Fermilab’s founding director, Robert Wilson, imagined an ideal laboratory, he wanted it to be architecturally impressive and artistically inspiring. With this in mind, he installed remarkable sculptures and designed buildings in influenced by culture, history, and physics.
Acqua Alle Funi, 1978
On the reflecting pond across from the entrance of Wilson Hall, there is a hyperbolic obelisk designed by Wilson. The name “Acqua Alle Funi” is an Italian phrase meaning “water to the ropes,” which refers to a story about an Egyptian obelisk ordered by Pope Sixtus V - considered to be a symbolic act, illustrating the triumph of Christianity over Paganism raised in St. Peter’s Square in the 16th century.
After viewing a multitude of photos of the sculpture in the enormous pond at the front entrance of Fermilab I did not see one which was a direct straight on shot. - and direct straight on image structuring is a taboo in photographic composition.
Hello ! - It's your camera and your moment so straight ahead it is!
By it's contours and it's exact center placement I believe this would be the way the designer wanted it to be best appreciated.
Oddly enough I can recall how frigid and windy it was out on the open prairie of the Fermilab compound that afternoon.
The growth and development of flowers occurs over several weeks from the germination of seeds planted in a ground or container to the time in which flowers bloom. The entire process happens in about five stages for most flowers. Although flower species have varying bloom periods, the general growth and development process is basically the same for all flowers. Moderate variations in the length of time of certain stages may differ by flower species. A Sprout Is Born
The seed begins the germination process during the first five days after being planted. During day 3 of the initial growth and development stage, imbibition begins as the dry seed takes in water from the ground. Next, the root emerges from the seed coat on or about day 4. On day 5, the root begins to extend and develops a root system at one end while a stem forms at the other end. The stem starts the process of making its way upward and eventually past the soil's surface. Hey, Bud
Stage 2 is the stage when a flower's leaves develop. Leaf development usually begins on day 6 and continues to day 26. Leaves begin as tiny rosettes (leaf buds). As the stem begins growing leaves, the development of a flower's primary root structure also culminates usually sometime after day 14. Even though leaf growth does not officially happen until stage 3, the first leaf buds may begin growing after day 18 and continue until day 26. A New Leaf on Life
Leaf growth overlaps slightly between stages 2 and 3 as buds evolve into new leaf growth. But stage 3 officially marks the entire leaf growth period at around day 19. During this stage, all of the leaf buds grow until each one reaches full maturity at about day 29. It's also possible for stage 4 to begin during the latter part (day 26) of the leaf growth stage.
Beginning of the Blossom Day 26 is the day in which most flowers experience inflorescence emergence. In other words, flower buds start appearing on the stem, signifying stage 4 of development. It often occurs toward the end of stage 3 leaf growth; however, it is treated as a separate stage because the period indicates the growth and development exclusively of flowers.
Bloom Times
Stage 5 commences the flower production phase. On approximately day 31, the first flower bud opens. Additional flower buds continue opening throughout a roughly 18-day bloom period until day 49 at which point flower production typically ends.

"Allesandersplatz", Haus der Statistik, Nähe Alexanderplatz, Berlin
The Haus der Statistik is a building complex in the Berlin district Mitte in Otto-Braun-Straße 70-72 (between 1966 and 1995 Hans-Beimler-Straße), south of Karl-Marx-Allee. It was founded in 1968-1970 as the headquarters of the State Central Administration for Statistics of the GDR. After German reunification, German authorities used the buildings, which have been empty since 2008.
Until 2017, the building was owned by the Federal Republic of Germany, which wanted to demolish it and sell the site. However, the Berlin Senate was able to acquire the building complex as part of the capital city financing agreement. Together with several other initiatives and administrations, the complex will be completely renovated and will be used for a wide range of purposes.

Another photo from the beautiful granite coast in the south of Western Australia. This is the Natural Bridge in Torndirrup National Park. I am forever fascinated by the intricate structure and textures of this amazing coastline.

A little abstract fun with the St. Louis Arch. A beautiful mid week afternoon under the Jefferson Memorial Expansion in St. Louis, Missouri. I was looking for creative ways to capture this iconic gateway to the West. This is directly under the East end of the monument looking straight up and as tight as I could get it with the wide angle lens. It's crazy to think that even with the ultra wide angle at 10.0mm that I didn't even touch a little more than the midway point at the top. The sun's reflection is coming off the bank of glass windows on the top of the arch for people to view out of when they travel to the top.

Alberta's oldest seed cleaning mill, operated from the 1930s to 1960s, not far from Camrose, Alberta. Founded by the Haselwood family. Alfred William Haselwood and his family arrived in Wetaskiwin, Alberta from England in 1897. The Haselwood family was one of the first families to settle on the homestead lands in the Rosenroll-Bittern Lake area. The Haselwoods built a gristmill at the beginning of 1900 and erected a flour-mill in 1906. The flour-mill was later destroyed by fire in 1933. The site had a B&B and antique shop at one time, but was up for sale at one point. Current status is unknown at this time.
Happy Fence Friday! HFF!

This is a view of the power station at Dartford, Kent England, taken around 7.00am in the morning and as the sun started to rise I just used the post to block the sun and to throw everything into silhouette, love the lighting and colours!
Lines, shadows, and vanishing points — Cologne’s Chlodwigplatz subway station becomes an architectural stage in black and white. The wide-angle lens reveals the bold geometry of escalators, staircases, and columns, frozen in a moment of striking contrast and perspective.
