Interesting patterns I noticed as I ate my watermelon... I like how the light comes through on this one.
Salmon skewers that have brined over night, now they will sit at room temperature for several hours developing a nice patina, before being hot smoked for an hour or so and then consumed. Recipe and procedure at Salmon University, idea for smoked skewers from Ray's Boathouse in Ballard.

Taken by a friend of mine, Brian Cheyne. The post work and light setup was done by me! I had to do a lot of PS to make me look like something, hehe!

Please drop some comments, advice or criticism! Thanks
The roof of the station is covered in translucent glass-fibre membranes with a double-sided, self-cleaning Teflon coating, which were designed by Sir Norman Foster.

Comments: Habitat and habitus of these cup fungi fit very well to Humaria hemisphaerica. Also spore shape, surface and gutules do so. The species is a common one. At least in my literature I can't find an acceptable alternative determination. However, spore and asci dimensions do not correspond to data from literature. I don't know whether the differences observed are acceptable (data from literature have quite large scatter too) or this find represents another, probably rarer and seldom described species.
Growing in a few groups of more than 30 fruit bodies in an area of about 2 x 2 m; apparently associated whit Lycoperdon perlatum. Some cups seemed as attached to this fungus (see Fig.3) and I didn't find a single cup more than a quarter of meter away of more than ten fruitbodies of Lycoperdon. Pilei diameter 8 - 22 mm, like translucent, pearly inside; taste and smell indistinctive; SP too faint to allow color determination.
Spores warty with two large gutules each. Spore dimensions: 25.4 [27.1 ; 27.8] 29.6 x 13.8 [14.5 ; 14.8] 15.5 μ, Q = 1.7 [1.8 ; 1.9] 2; N = 37 ; C = 95%, Me = 27.5 x 14.7 μ; Qe = 1.9. Asci dimensions: 205.4 [231.4 ; 244.8] 270.8 x 13 [15.4 ; 16.6] 19 μ, Q = 12.9 [14.5 ; 15.4] 17; N = 24; C = 95%, Me = 238.1 x 16 μ; Qe = 14.9. Hairs septated. Dimensions: 339 [505 ; 621] 787 x 13 [15.2 ; 16.8] 19 μ, Q = 20.1 [31.6 ; 39.6] 51.1; N = 15; C = 95%, Me = 563.5 x 16 μ; Qe = 35.6.

The new Philharmonic Hall,
designed by Spanish studio Barozzi Veiga, has won the Mies van de Rohe Award 2015. The concert hall features a zigzagging roof profile and a translucent ribbed‑glass façade, and was selected by a jury who visited all five shortlisted buildings. Named after German‑American architect
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe,
the biennial award is the most
prestigious accolade in European architecture and is awarded to a building completed in the last two years by a European architect.
The concert hall is even more spectacular than its glass façade, illuminated with lamps which can be arranged in 20,000 different combinations. With 951 seats for orchestral concerts, the hall is the fourth largest concert hall in Poland, and one of the most modern in terms of equipment and sound systems.

This painting was created for my 2011 solo exhibition "The Poem of Ecstasy". All the artworks for this show were inspired by the classical music of 20th century Russian composer Alexander Scriabin.
Oh, Nalgene, how I love thee.
One of my most famous photo-a-day objects is the Nalgene bottle. It keeps me hydrated, and is more fashionable to carry than a man purse. Here it is, in the sunlight, doing what translucent colored bottles do.
