This structure was inspired from the idea of taking a traditional pergola and turning it upside down. We then decided to support it by cables suspended from a single post. This was created in the Toronto area.

Leonardo da Vinci
From The Renaissance Nude
(March to June 2019)
Trace the development of the nude through some of the great masters of the Renaissance. Bringing together works by artists such as Titian, Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Dürer and Cranach, we shed light on a visual tradition at its most vital moment.
The 15th and 16th centuries were a pivotal time for the nude in Western art. A renewed interested in ancient Greek and Roman art brought the human body to the forefront of artistic innovation. Artists on both sides of the Alps – Perugino, Pollaiuolo and Gossaert among others – were copying from classical models, experimenting with naturalistic approaches, as well as exploring new, non-religious subject matter.
At the same time, the nude was transforming Christian art, encouraging modern and dynamic representations of age-old themes, from the story of Adam and Eve to the crucifixion.
This spectacular exhibition explores these important changes in a selection of exquisite works. From full-scale paintings to jewel-like illustrations, bronze statuettes to anatomical studies, they contrast idealised beauty with the ageing body, and public images with more intimate, private works.

The Banca Celestial (Skyband bench) from the Structure 8N-66 Central is one of the most outstanding pieces of art at the Mayan city of Copán. Residence 8N-66C was constructed around 750 CE and is part of the residential group 8N-11 in the Las Sepulturas complex. The carved bench is exhibited at the on-site Museo de Escultura.
A series of symbols for the sun, moon, and planets, grouped together in a long frame, are referred to as skyband. Skybands have been found throughout Mesoamerica; they serve to establish a heavenly context. This beautifully carved bench is from interior room of the large central portion of Structure 8N-66. This is the only full-figure depiction of a skyband in the Maya area.
There are two mythical birds at either end. They carry the carved images of the celestial bodies. The figures are, from left to right, the graceful image of the moon deity, the sun both by day and by night, and the planet Venus. In between are repeating masks of the Milky Way. These figures parade across the heavenly frame and transform this bench into the seat of power.
Las Sepulturas was an upscale residential complex located about 1.5 km to the east of the Gran Plaza at Copán and connected with it by a sacbé (sac’be), that is a causeway or raised, paved road. The Las Sepulturas complex consists of 40 to 50 buildings arranged around 11 courtyards and a central lagoon. The elites of Copán appear to have lived here, particularly during the final decades before the collapse of the Mayan culture at Copán around 820 CE. A large number of residences contain grave sites, hence the name Las Sepulturas, literally the tombs.

MICHIGAN CENTRAL DEPORT, PORTER, INDIANA
Date: 1908
Source Type: Postcard
Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Albert Hahn Company (#1374)
Postmark: June 9, 1908, Porter, Indiana
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: The photographer was facing southeast while standing on the tracks of the Michigan Central Railroad. This structure was the railroad's passenger depot, while the structure farther down the tracks, to the left and not visible in this image, operated as the railroad's freight depot.
The passenger depot was located southeast of the intersection of Wagner Road and Lincoln Street, on the south side of the tracks. Today, the location of the passenger depot is a brush-filled lot.

The following news item appeared in the October 14, 1915, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:
Porter Department
The depot of the M. C. R. R. at Porter is putting on a rather distinguished appearance these days. The company has had its workmen here fixing it all up. They have raised it, put in new floors and windows and put in a new desk for Agent Glover which brings a smile of satisfaction to his face. A new roof and a coat of paint finished the job. The freight house and the company's other building came in for their shore [sic; share] also.

NORTHRIDGE - 40 firefighters found the garage (attached) of a single-family home fully involved and extinguished the fire in 13 minutes. Initial reports of a person trapped in the fire room proved to be false after a thorough search. The fire was stopped quickly before extending into the home. No reported injuries.

I love the shape, colour and structure of artichoke. Of course you can eat them, lovely, but these ones are allowed to grow and show their violet flowers inside. But we need patience.
I love the chaos that occurs when you combine paperclips and magnets ... this is a particularly strong magnet (almost removed my thumb once when I wasn't paying attention) and it's a lot of fun ...
... as you can see!
Luang Prabang is an outstanding example of the fusion of traditional architecture and Lao urban structures with those built by the European colonial authorities in the 19th and 20th centuries. Its unique, remarkably well-preserved townscape illustrates a key stage in the blending of these two distinct cultural traditions
From the 14th to the 16th century the town became the capital of the powerful kingdom of Lane Xang (Kingdom of a Million Elephants), whose wealth and influence were related to its strategic location on the Silk Route. The city was also the centre of Buddhism in the region. Luang Prabang takes its name from a statue of Buddha, the Prabang, offered by Cambodia.
After the establishment of the French Protectorate in 1893, following a period of turmoil during which the country was divided into three independent kingdoms, Luang Prabang once again became the royal and religious capital during the reign of King Sisavang Vong. It played this role until Vientiane became the administrative capital in 1946.
Luang Prabang is exceptional for both its rich architectural and artistic heritage that reflects the fusion of Lao traditional urban architecture with that of the colonial era. Its remarkably well-preserved townscape reflects the alliance of these two distinct cultural traditions.
The richness of Luang Prabang architecture reflects the mix of styles and materials. The majority of the buildings are, following tradition, wooden structures. Only the temples are in stone, whereas one- or two-storey brick houses characterize the colonial element of the town. The many pagodas or "Vat" in Luang Prabang, which are among the most sophisticated Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia, are richly decorated (sculptures, engravings, paintings, gilding and furniture pieces). Wat Xieng Thong, which dates from the 16th century, comprises an ensemble of the most complex structures of all the pagodas of the town. It is remarkable both from the archaeological point of view, and from the Lao iconographic and aesthetic viewpoint.
Many traditional Lao houses remain; they are built of wood using traditional techniques and materials introduced in the colonial period, such as plaited bamboo panels coated with wattle and daub. Brick colonial buildings, often with balconies and other decorative features in wood, line the main street and the Mekong.
The built heritage of Luang Prabang is in perfect harmony in the natural environment. The sacred Mount Phousi stands at the heart of the historic town built on a peninsula delimited by the Mekong and the Nam Khan, domain of the mythical naga. Ceremonies to appease the nagas and other evil spirits, and Buddhist religious practices (Prabang procession, the monks’ morning quest) perpetuate the sanctity of the place. Natural spaces located in the heart of the city and along the riverbanks, and wetlands (a complex network of ponds used for fish farming and vegetable growing) complement this preserved natural environment [unesco.org]
The Central Shaheed Minar, an imposing structure in red bricks, rises seventy one feet high into the open sky from its base and is dedicated to the martyrs of the Language Movement. The three seventy-one feet columns, the fifty-two feet base and the eight steps leading up to the base are symbolic of our culture and events in our national life. The structure was completed in 2008, and its designer is Architect Rabiul Islam.
Waimea Valley is an area of historic cultural significance on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The valley, being an important place in Hawaiian religion, includes several historical structures including stone terraces and walls constructed during the time of the Hawaiian monarchy. Much of the garden floor was once cultivated for taro, sweet potato, and bananas, with new crops and orchards introduced by Europeans after their arrival.
Formerly known as the Waimea Valley Audubon Center and the Waimea Arboretum and Botanical Garden, the Waimea Valley is a historical nature park including botanical gardens. It is located at 59-864 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa, Oahu, Hawaii and is open daily except for Christmas and New Year's Day; an admission fee is charged.
The garden was managed until 2003 by the City and County of Honolulu, when management was assumed by the National Audubon Society. In 2008, management was handed over to Hi'ipaka LLC, a non-profit company created by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
The garden now contains 35 distinct collections, representing some 5,000 taxa from around the world. It contains one of the finest collections of Polynesian plants in existence, as well as excellent collections of very rare Hawaiian plants, rare and endangered species native to Lord Howe Island, and individual gardens dedicated to plants from Guam, Madagascar, the Mascarene Islands, the Ogasawara Islands, and the Seychelles.
Other major collections include the hibiscus evolutionary garden, araceae, bauhinia, bromeliaceae, heliconia, liliaceae, as well as bamboo, begonia, ferns, tropical fruit, etc.
The garden valley is approximate 0.75 miles in length, with a small waterfall and swimming hole at the valley's high end.
