As a photographer, a common theme I like to find is minimal geometry and patterns in nature or man-made objects.
This photo represents geometrical patterns and shapes created by the architecture and reflection of the Prudential Plaza in Jacksonville, FL. I walk past this building so many times, but one day managed to stand underneath it, and discovered this magic.
The architect is KBJ Architects from Jacksonville, FL, a firm responsible for shaping the incoming Jacksonville skyline we have today.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts or comments on how I can improve this.

Thanks for your time!
Mscro Mondays Theme: high key.
Size of the handel is about 1.5 cm.

Not doing much photography at the moment after having major surgery on one of my eyes. Vision impaired, so my apologies for not taking part in the group or commenting much. Hopefully back to full participation soon.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of "rust" I couldn't believe how hard it would be to find something rusty in my house!

Thème du mois de Janvier 2025 : En noir et blanc
For the 1st theme of this year: subjects with black and white patterns or a treatment of photos in black and white, in light/dark...
Gray will be accepted as well as a few small touches of color provided that they do not exceed 10% of the photo

Timepieces.
A small collection of my older watches, I seem to have too many to wear!!
Added to: "Weekly Theme Challenge"
This weeks Macro Mondays theme is Citrus.
You always hear about the bad apple, but you never hear about the bad citrus. Surely there are consequences for bad citrus, possibly including the electric chair? It appears this Cutie segment has been bad, and has met such a fate.
Nothing special in this photo, it is exactly as it seems. 12,000 volts of electricity running through fruit.
Best viewed large.

Magnetic goop known as ferrofluid
Ferrofluid: When magnets go nano
For this I used a pipette, ferrofluid , petri dish and lots of paper towels.
Coloured lights.
A ferrofluid is a liquid which becomes highly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. The distinctive ‘spikey’ shape of a magnetized ferrofluid is caused by the need to find the most stable shape in order to minimize the total energy of the system, an effect known as the normal-field instability. The fluid is more easily magnetized than the surrounding air, so is drawn out along the magnetic field lines, resulting in the formation of peaks and troughs. However, the extension of the ferrofluid is resisted by gravity and surface tension.
The more complicated explanation is all about nanoparticles. Back in the 1960s, experiments in chemistry showed that ferrofluids could be created and stabilized — a discovery actually made by NASA while searching for ways to control liquid fuel in the weightlessness of space.
Okay, but how does the ferrofluid magically transform into spikes and those crazy hedgehog shapes?
Think of it as a very careful chemical balancing act involving many different forces all hitting a sweet spot. Imagine that you apply a magnetic force to a ferrofluid, say, through a permanent magnet you have lying around

Ferrofluids are also the focus of current scientific research and have the potential to be used in many medical applications. In magnetic drug targeting for example, where drugs could be enclosed by ferrofluid and, once injected into the specific body area requiring treatment, a magnetic field could be applied to keep the drugs in this target area. The localization would limit exposure to the rest of the body and enable the dosage level to be decreased, reducing the adverse side effects experienced by the patient
Safety in the use of Ferrofluids and Magnets is recommended.
Do not leave anything else magnetic near your work area and keep mobile phone away
For Macro Monday group, this week's theme was "Cloth".
I took lots of photos, and really, only running out of time made me choose this one... there are only nine minutes left before the group closes for the week!
This is some gold cloth, and some gold flecked lacy netting.
Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
Ghosts - Art Week Gallery Theme
Ethereal souls between dark and light, not because they are doomed, they just have not yet found the way or their time, lost between conflicting feelings often in intersecting timelines ...
With the music : Howard Shore - Twilight and Shadow
