This amazing glass couture piece Structures of Self was recently modeled by one of the collaborating artists during the new Beakerhead festival of science, art and engineering. The idea to collaborate on an a photoshoot that paired the alien/bug like garment with the 40 foot RayGun Gothic Rocketship during the setting sun, made for some pretty creative images

The prostrate kānuka
is one of the few plants that can survive hot grounds in the immediate surroundings of geothermal features like fumaroles and craters, for instance at "Craters of the Moon" (Karapiti), a geothermal area close to Taupo in New Zealand.
This particular tree in the Otari-Wilton's Bush plant sanctuary is very old and has been pruned above the ground to allow other plants space beneath. The effect is to show off the rather flattened structure of the trunk and branches as compared with standard kanuka. The flowers on the prostrate form are also noticeably smaller than kanuka but have the same smothering pattern to make the tree appear almost white with snow.
Family:Myrtaceae
Genus:Kunzea
Species:K. ericoides var microflora
Kanuka is a tree or shrub which is restricted to Australia and New Zealand. Until 1983, Kānuka was classified as being in the genus Leptospermum.
It is widespread particularly in coastal scrub and colonising land recovering after a fire or reverting to a natural state after being used for agriculture. However it has been recorded growing to altitudes of 2000 metres above sea level. With its small but abundant flowers it can colour a whole hillside white, almost giving the appearance of snow cover. The wood is very hard and although not durable in the ground it is used for wharf piles and tool handles. It is particularly popular as firewood, burning with a great heat. In New Zealand, Kānuka can grow up to 30 metres high with a trunk up to one metre across.
Kākāriki parakeets (Cyanoramphus) use leaves and bark of Kānuka and the related Mānuka tea trees to rid themselves of parasites. Apart from ingesting the material, they also chew it, mix it with preen gland oil and apply it to their feathers. Mānuka and Kānuka are superficially similar species and they are often confused with one another - the easiest way to tell the difference between them is to feel the foliage, Kānuka leaves being soft, while Mānuka leaves are prickly.
This roof structure was amazing. This is only a small section that repeated about 10 times and was at least 100 feet long. It the dome building at Messe in Frankfurt, Germany.
We stopped at Chichen Itza as part of a tour package. We didn't arrive until about 3 p.m. and it was very hot - and crowded. We had the slowest and most boring guide imaginable so my wife and I broke away from the group and saw as much as we could in the two hours we were there.
I was at Chichen Itza several times in the 1990s - back then you could climb to the top of El Castillo and other structures but now pretty much everything is roped off. No climbing and it's actually hard to see a lot of the carvings.
All in all it was a good trip but next time we'll go independently .
I took these photos in February 2017.

CAL FIRE/Placer County Fire Department assisted Placer Hills Fire Protection District with a structure fire on Ponderosa Lane Auburn February 2023.
This is Khan el-Khalili, a marketplace in Old Cairo that was built on the site of the royal palace and cemetery of the Fatimid Dynasty, with redevelopment of the area into an urban neighborhood during the 14th Century under the Mamluk Dynasty. By the late 1400s, the souk, or marketplace, had become a major center of international trade, with its long, narrow streets protecting merchants and goods (including many slaves) from the harsh sunlight of Egypt’s arid climate. However, the souk did not take on its current form until the rule of Sultan al-Ghuri, whom altered the layout and added many structures to the souk, including the monumental gates and a large funerary tomb complex, as well as rearranging the streets into a grid pattern. A large Turkish presence historically existed in the souk, as the Turks were some of the most prolific merchants in the Islamic world prior to and during the Ottoman Empire period, and the area was historically the center of the Turkish community in Cairo, especially during the Ottoman Empire. Today, the souk remains full of shops and life, though it has transitioned from a marketplace of foreign goods into a market mainly catering to foreign tourists, with many locals owning souvenir and various goods shops in the district, along with several cafes and restaurants.

About the Artist: Fred Wilson
Fred Wilson was born in 1954 in the Bronx, New York, to an African American father and, as Wilson describes her, an “Anglo-Amerindian” mother. When he was young, the family moved to Westchester, Connecticut, to live what Wilson calls “the American dream.” Racist graffiti showed up in their yard before they even moved in.
Wilson spent most of his time in Westchester alone. “I had no friends,” he says of his time in Connecticut. “I developed this whole world on my own, and I think that’s why I’m an artist.”
Wilson’s parents divorced when he was eight years old. With his mother and sister, he returned to the Bronx and took art classes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, wandering after-hours into areas that the public never saw. He studied performance art and dance at the State University of New York in Purchase and worked at the campus’s Neuberger Museum of Art as a guard. After graduating in 1976, Wilson was employed by many of New York City’s major museums, where he gained a unique, insider’s perspective.
Wilson’s art reveals what might otherwise be forgotten or ignored. “Working in the Education Department at the Met and at the Museum of Natural History, I was very aware of what wasn’t being shown to the public,” he recalls. “Those were the experiences that really got me thinking.”

Interpretive Text
Venice is famous for its glass production, and chandeliers are a central part of that story. Artist Fred Wilson researched the history of Venice and uncovered a hidden history about the many contributions of Africans to the art and culture of Venice. What he learned led to a series of works in glass, all made in traditional Venetian style, but not with traditional colors. Part of that series, this chandelier visually represents the influence of Africans on the culture of Venice, with its pale glass elements gradually taking on a rich black luster.

Squire's Castle is a shell of a building located in the North Chagrin Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks in Willoughby Hills, OH.
Feargus B. Squire was an executive with the Standard Oil Company and former mayor of Wickliffe, Ohio. Squire's earliest known residence was at 1729 Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. In 1905, Squire moved to 7809 Euclid Avenue. Squire completed work in 1902 on Cobblestone Garth, a Victorian mansion located in Wickliffe, Ohio. The Squires moved from their Euclid Avenue home into Cobblestone Garth in 1910. About 1890, Squire purchased 525 acres (2.12 km2) of forest land near what is now Willoughby Hills, Ohio, east of Cleveland. He called it River Farm Estate and planned to turn it into an English country estate complete with manor house. About 1895, Squire began construction on a gatekeeper's house in the Romanesque Revival style. The structure, which was exceedingly rustic (lacking electricity, natural gas, running water, or sewer) was completed about 1897.
The outer walls are of locally-quarried Euclid bluestone, a form of bluish-colored sandstone found throughout the greater Cleveland area. The structure originally had a ground floor, two upper floors, and a basement. Its windows were of leaded glass.
Squire abandoned plans for a manor house after encountering difficulty obtaining building materials and labor. Squire and his daughter used the gatekeeper's house as an occasional weekend country home (even spending most of the summer of 1903 there). But Squire's wife disliked the house, and Squire rarely visited it after 1908. He sold the estate and gatekeeper's house to developers in 1922. After the developers went bankrupt, the estate was seized by a local bank. The Cleveland Park Board (precursor to Cleveland Metroparks) purchased most of the land from the bank in 1925. The park board began calling the structure "Squire's Castle". Cleveland Metroparks removed the upper floors and filled in the basement.
Squire's Castle was heavily vandalized over the years, with vandals removing the leaded glass windows and stripping the interior of almost all architectural and decorative details. The structure was somewhat restored in 1995.
