playing around with imaging once again, trying to get hold of "strong" colors using more or less clear structures... how did I do, so far? ;) at least, it's sort of bright, in a certain way...

Locking up, in a tensile structure @ Dammam cornish ..
---------------------------
Ad-dammam Cornish last tuesday for a photography class assignment..
The Assignment was to choose a theme and take photos for it, while adjusting the Iso, aperture and the shutter speed ..
Our theme ( me and my friends) was about the Cornish.. Sunset time and at night , Ofcourse we were late and we missed the sunset :(
I wasn't there the last class so I didn't got it right.. hoping from now On, my Photogrphy skills will improve, Ur comments will help me alot..
Enjoy :D
Shatterconed sandstone in Ontario, Canada.
Shattercones are striated conical structures in rocks formed by a powerful shock wave or pressure front moving through during an impact event. They have a three-dimensional cone-like structure, with the points of the cones directed toward the shock wave origination site. Undisturbed shatterconed rocks will have the apex of the cones pointing toward the direction of the incoming object (i.e., upward - toward space).
The host rocks here consist of ~2.3 to 2.4 billion year old fluvial sandstones of the Mississagi Formation. Notice that the shattercones are pointing downward, indicating that the impact event also overturned the beds.
This outcrop is in the Sudbury Impact Structure, the site for one of the largest impact events in Earth history. The impact structure, located in southeastern Ontario, is ovoid in shape, about 37 miles long by 19 miles wide. It was originally ~circular, but has since been laterally compressed by tectonic deformation. Before erosion and structural deformation, the structure may have been between 60 and 120 miles across. The impacting object is estimated to have been about 6 miles in size. The impact event itself occurred at 1.85 billion years ago. At that time, this part of Ontario was ocean. Computer modeling indicates that the splash wave generated by the Sudbury Impact may have reached about 30 miles high and generated a ~300 feet high megatsunami that radiated away from the target area for up to ~1800 miles. The impact punched a hole down into underlying mantle rocks.
Abundant evidence indicates that the Sudbury, Ontario area was indeed the site of an impact long ago. This includes impact breccias, shattercones, and extensive syn-formational sulfide mineralization. The sulfides are rich enough for mining to occur. In fact, the Sudbury Mining District targets the # 1 most productive nickel deposit on Earth.

Steel structure that looks more like a rollercoaster than a building, that's a sign it most be a Frank O. Gehry design. Taken march 12, 2002.

The amazing structure inside the Belfry (Halletoren) in Brugge. This medieval bell tower was originally built in 1240 but burnt down in 1280 before being rebuilt. The octagonal upper stage of the belfry was added between 1483 and 1487. On the right hand side you can see the stairwell, leading ever higher. The image is taken on the second floor.

A dual structure and motor vehicle fire occurred simultaneously Thursday afternoon along the 200 block of Pine Lane SE in the Town of Garden City.
A 911 call was received concerning the burning structure and adjacent car around 12:30 pm. Firefighting units from both Hanceville and Garden City were dispatched to the location.
Hanceville Fire Rescue were first to arrive with Chief Rodger Green leading the fire fight. They discovered the manufactured home on the property fully engulfed in flames. A motor vehicle next to the structure was directly effected by fire as well. Garden City Fire and Rescue arrived soon thereafter.
In addition to the fire departments listed above, a deputy with the Cullman County Sheriff’s Office was on scene to provide traffic control and hold down a security perimeter around the fire scene.
Additionally, members of Hanceville Police Department including Chief Bob Long were on scene. We observed police officers and Chief Long assisting firefighters with running and management of water hoses as well as structural removal to aid in exposing hot spots in the structure.
Additionally, the always active Hanceville Mayor Kenneth Nail was on scene. He was observed running chain from his large vehicle to the endangered vehicle. Using his truck, he pulled the pulled the melting car away from the fire to a safe distance way from the blaze and out of the way of responders. That is a 'first' in our coverage of fires across Cullman County.
Cullman Emergency Medical Services were also staged at the location as a precaution in case of injuries to responders and/or occupants
Live electrical power serving both the home was flowing through feeder wires during most of the firefighting effort. Cullman Electric Cooperative did arrive and disabled power to the structure making the end game of the operation safe for all parties involved.
According to Police Chief Bob Long, the residence was occupied by three individuals at the time of the fire:
"We think there were three people in the home when the fire started. One was asleep; the other two were awake. This fire moved very fast. It was quick thinking on the part of the two residents to wake up the gentleman, and get him out of the house. As best we can determine, no occupants were left in the house, and no one was physically injured."
The motor vehicle mentioned above sustained significant fire damage to one side.
Unfortunately, the manufactured home at this address was a total loss, displacing the family to find new residency elsewhere.
The Cullman chapter of the American Red Cross was summoned to the completely destroyed home to provide disaster relief and emergency assistance to the home’s occupants. The Red Cross assured that the occupants have suitable short-term living support arrangements in place until they can sort out their next steps.

The palazzo was constructed in 1385 as a single-storey structure without wings for Alberto V d'Este, Marquis of Ferrara. It was meant for suppers and diversions only, an equivalent of a Roman villa suburbana. The name Schifanoia is thought to originate from 'schivar la noia', which means to 'escape tedium' in Italian. In 1465-1467, under the commission of Borso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara,
architect Pietro Benvenuto degli Ordini designed an upper level for the palazzo, providing the building with rooms suitable for receptions of ambassadors and delegations. Here, in the Salone dei Mesi ('Hall of the Months'), are located the highlights of the building: the fresco cycle executed in around 1469-1470 by different Ferrarese painters from the school of Cosmè Tura, one of the
most important 15th-century fresco cycles in Italy. The walls of the hall are divided into 12 sections, one for each month. (Today only seven of them survive.) Each month is divided into three horizontal bands. In the upper band, the world of the Roman gods is depicted. In the lower band, the world of man, where Borso d'Este is portrayed as a wise and fair governor, is painted. The third band is placed between the gods and men and illustrates zodiac signs (testimony of the great importance held by astrology in the
court of the Estes). In the Sala delle Virtù ('Hall of the Virtues'), a sumptuous gold-painted panelled ceiling from the 15th century can be admired. The upper band of the walls is illustrated with figures of the virtues. Only Justice is missing. It was probably represented in a different form. The façade was once crowned with crenellations and and was frescoed with fake polychrome marble. It has an elegant marble portal.

“Wind turbines turning steadily in the breeze, the mighty Delta Works standing tall along the Oosterschelde, and the stunning Zeeland Bridge stretching toward Zierikzee — a perfect afternoon in the Netherlands.”
Things seen at this year's Strathbungo Window Wanderland.
I especially liked the architectural effort at Greek Thomson's old house
They are building this interestingly-shaped structure at Don Mills and Eglinton.
I wonder what it is...
Does anybody know?
