Ok, maybe the colors inside the cave are not natural. I am so pleased with the many places that LED technology is changing our lives. This revolution in lighting is not getting the credit it deserves! Here they can add more lighting with no heat or other complications that lighting a cave can bring.
My family are suckers for a cave. We actually visited Great Basin National Park largely to see these caves. These are Lehman Caves. Normally a cave is far less interesting or even fun if it has to be a tour (as opposed to roaming free within the cave). This is especially true for photography, where everything needs to be by tripod. A tour is simply not that conducive to stopping and taking your time with an image. So this set of caves already had a long way to go to win our love. But, WOW. These ended up winning our hearts for sure. This cave system was second only to Carlsbad Cavers for us. At least as far as walkway-lighted-mass-of-people caves were concerned (we still have a soft spot for un-named natural caves too). The tour went slow enough to allow some slow photography, which was great. But the cool part was the narrow walkways that weaved between stalagmites, stalactites, columns, cave straws, cave bacon, cave popcorn, and unique to this cave, cave shields. You can see one of these just above the blue area in this image. Nerds? Yes, but excited to see cave shields? YES.
This image is a blend to tame the highlights. Always a problem with lit caves. I will be posting more form this cave for certain. Stay tuned.
If you ever have a chance to tour a large refinery... do it! The behemoth scale of everything dwarfs humans, yet it all came out of our little inventive minds! It’s an experience never forgotten.

There's some irony here, I think, in the way this sign is crumbling and littering the small patch of nature below it...
...taken at the site of a college that focuses its curriculum on environmental sustainability.
The biggest security risk in any system is the user.
"Hundreds of Westminster insiders were added to - and then deleted from - a WhatsApp group set up by shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick to promote his London Marathon run".
In this day and age there should be minimum level of competence with technology to gain access to any position of power or trust, (especially after the U.S "signal app" fiasco).
(As we old techies used to say the problem is "BTKAC" between the keyboard and chair).
The BBC has been told Jenrick is not referring himself to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which investigates data breaches. (What a surprise!).

Kait Workshop von Junya Ishigami 2010
Aus dem Erläuterungsbericht des Architekten: Das „KAIT-Workshop-Building“ ist Teil einer Campuserweiterung des Kanagawa-Institute of Technology. Es liegt zwischen Bibliothek, Mensa, Instituts- und Laborgebäuden an einer Kirschbaumallee im Weichbild Tokios.
Es ist gedacht als offenes Kommunikations- und Werkstattzentrum. In dem eingeschossigen 2000-Quadratmeter-Raum können die Studenten an freien Projekten arbeiten. Sie können probieren, Roboter zu bauen oder Lampen und Fernseher zu reparieren. 46 mal 47 Me-ter misst die Halle, sie ist vollverglast, fünf Meter hoch, hat keine Trennwände und ist über drei Flügeltüren ebenerdig zu betreten. Im Inneren hinter der umlaufenden Glaswand scheint sich das Campusgelände als künstlicher Bam-bushain fortzusetzen, wie eine zufällige Streuung von weißen Stahlstützen, vor-gefundenen Möbeln der Universität, Maschinen und Blumentöpfen. Ich behaupte: Jeder, der sich in der Halle bewegt, fühlt sich, als würde er durch einen Wald laufen, in dem das Sonnenlicht durch die Baumstämme gefiltert wird. Die Konstruktion besteht aus 305 schlanken Stützen, die praktisch keine identischen Proportionen, Querschnitte oder Materialitäten haben. Die Breite der Stützen bewegt sich zwischen 80 und 160 Millimetern, ihre Dicke zwischen 16 und 62 Millimetern. Der Kräfteverlauf im Stützensystem ist konstruktiv in Querkräfte und Normalkräfte getrennt. 16 und 45 Millimeter breite Flachstahlstützen nehmen die Horizontalkräfte auf, quadratische Stützen die Normalkräfte. Die Benutzer des Instituts können aus dem Erscheinungsbild der Konstruktion keine Regeln für die Anordnung der Stützen ableiten. Erst durch die Inszenierung des Zufälligen, dadurch, dass die geometrische Nachvollziehbarkeit und Logik der Konstruk-tion verwischt wird, wird sich der architektonische Raum an die wechselnden Bedürfnisse der Nutzer anpassen können.

Sitting on the window-sill and enjoying the low afternoon sun. Illuminated and in sharp focus is the "good" eye, the one I use for photography. The other one plays second fiddle. However, none of them was really involved in taking this self-portrait. It was the artificial eye of the camera in connection with a clever algorithm (automatic eye recognition) that kicked in when I pressed the shutter release (via a long cable). This is one of the situations where camera technology enables me to do things with ease that, if done manually, would have been quite difficult to achieve.
The spokes of a wheel cast their shadow on the wall behind.

This Melbourne institution has grown enormously from its humble beginnings in technology. It is fast becoming the university of choice for overseas students seeking a career in architecture and design besides IT.
