China Uncut and Unrated

3 different colors of uncut, untreated, rough sapphires mined in Montana. A red sapphire is a ruby. The largest stone here is not quite a cm long. In our collection. Seen here illuminated from behind.
Already in Classical Antiquity this pretty flowering plant was notorious for its sharp leaves. Hence the name 'Butomus', something like 'Ox-cutter' in English; it would not do as animal fodder. But insects remain uncut. Here along a ditch the summer-flowering blossoms is being visited by a Fly and a Hoverfly.
Europe, Portugal, Algarve, Sotavento, Olhão, Avenida Bernardinho da Silva, Crossing, Pedestrians (uncut)
The Avenida Dr. Bernardino da Silva, one of Olhão boulevards, was built in 1926 and remodeled in 1988.The traditional ‘pedras portuguesas’ were ofcourse used for the pavement. The avenue was named after a former Olhão celebrity (Vila Real de Sto António 1856 - Olhão 1916). He held the positions of doctor of the Maritime Commitment, Municipal Doctor and Deputy Delegate of Health. He was also a lover of music and wrote "Music: its influence and employment".

while trying to get prepared for this weekend's sale, I found the cigar box with the five-uncut polyhedrons. I have had these for over thirty years and still have not cut one.

Netherlands, Den Haag, Spui, City Hall, Atrium, Richard Meier (uncut)
The Ciy Hall (1995) was one of the devices used to rejuvenate the Den Haag inner city. It’s nick name is Ice palace (IJspaleis) and the front part of the dashing atrium on display here is the core of the building. All the public functions of the municipality are positioned here.
The building (designed by Richard Meier) was controversial. During a design competition it won over the more mundane design of OMA (Rem Koolhaas). After the opening the late Haagse Harry the self proclaimed cartoon vox populi of Den Haag said about it:
'Die amtenare zitte in 'n glanzend wit palès van vieâhhondartmijoen te besluìte dat 'r gein cente zèn om mèn krotwauning te reinauvere! Mindâh stadhuìs; meâh huìze in de stad!'
Important in the political process that lead to the decision to realize the Ciy Hall was alderman (wethouder) Adri Duivesteijn who later had to resign because of a conflict in the PvdA (labour party) about the financial risk management of the project. He wrote "Het Haagse stadhuis, bouwen in een slangenkuil" (The The Hague City Hall - building in a snake pit) about the building project, an interesting read. What Jan Shaeffer was in the Dutch political arena to affordable public housing, Adri Duivesteijn was to architecture and urban development of The Hague and Almere.
Shot straight up into the front part of the atrium during a wonderful and extended Schlemmer / Escher lunch with Leun .
After the restaurant we popped in to the Escher museum. And on the way back to the station entered City Hall to check if there were Escheresque things to be captured. They seemed to be not really there. But you never know, it's all in the mind and its shifting expectations ;-)
Thanks Uήkή☢wŇ for the cover of S-L UnCut v2: www.flickr.com/groups/sluncut20/ I Really appreciate it !
Europe, Netherlands, Hilversum Noord, Mediapark, Beeld & Geluid, archive (uncut)
".......Dat de architectuur van het nieuwe gebouw van Beeld en Geluid bijzonder is, blijkt al na een blik op de glasgevel en een blik op de binnenzijde van het gebouw. (.....)
In de nieuwbouw was behoefte aan archief- en depotruimten, technische werkruimten, een multimediabibliotheek, een publieksattractie, kantoor- en vergaderruimten, maar ook aan een bedrijfs èn publieksrestaurant, een klantenservice, videozalen en een studiecentrum. (.......)
Neutelings Riedijk Architecten ontwierp een gebouw waar, binnen een kleurrijke huls, de afzonderlijke taakstellingen van Beeld en Geluid met een eigen behuizing en bouwvolume zichtbaar bleven. Een hoog òp-, en laag nèèrgaande vide beheerst met zijn vele trapvormen het ontwerp. Dit atrium verbindt als een centrale hal de afzonderlijke delen van de organisatie. Er is hierbij gekozen voor één, gemeenschappelijke ingang voor alle gebruikers van het gebouw. Terwijl voor deze gebruikers, onafhankelijk van hun bestemming, de diverse andere onderdelen of functies van Beeld en Geluid voortdurend zichtbaar zijn."
The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. It consists of 10 levels: 5 under ground and 5 above ground. The underground levels form the national archives of Dutch radio and television recordings. Above ground is the media museum. The third element is an office slab The three volumes together enclose a large public atrium with a restaurant The façade of the building is a screen of coloured relief glass that depicts famous images of Dutch television, a composition by graphic designer Jaap Drupsteen.
Shot from the entrance area into the archive. The innards of it are connected with jukeboxes 2.0 through the cables on display here (or they only suggest it). They disrupt the clear geometrics of the archive (if you want that - it's here) but do add to the liveliness and flag the thing that the archive is about - connecting the now with the then, from A to Z.
The beach is North Avenue Beach in Chicago. Recent rain reduced large boulders of ice to small nuggets.
An uncut 10kg doner kebab meat vertical rotisserie spit skewer thingy gently rotating inside the very amiable 'Chelmsford Takeaway' aka 'Mangal Express' takeaway food outlet on Duke Street in the City of Chelmsford in the County of Essex (UK).
This outlet is located on a street with many nightime takeaway shops and I can vouch, this is the best one out of all of them.
Always hot and good quality food here together with a very clean and well presented premises.
Note the Christmas lights.
