Another spiral staircase in Ljubljana castle, this time seen through a viewing port at the top of the staircase. The surrounding woodwork gives a vortex effect.

During one of my recent ventures out on the coast I spotted this little well, hole, vortex or whatever else of similar nature comes to mind. I was committed to making a composition with that feature in one way or another. I tried various angles and in the end I settled for this one.

Another image in my series of water drop shots. Explored on 28th March 2014 for about 5 hours at #487
An ant is holding onto a leaf, keeping itself dry and alive. The rapids can be tough, unforgiving and survival isn't given around the next bend of the stream. The stream of life, which is time. Like this ant we're just passengers and life is our vessel as we rush through time. Mostly the rapids of life flow in a fairly predictable way, sometimes slower, sometimes faster. That is until you reach a vortex. Those are the events in life that can decide whether you get pulled out of the ride or not. You can fight the Vortex and win, you can fight an loose too. There certainly is no guarantee. Sometimes the Vortex will pull you in, throw you around and spit you out again. Nevertheless, whenever you're in that Vortex, it feels like your taken out of the regular flow. It is like if time stops and all you do is fight for survival, this is your Dies Irae. There is no karma, no bad or good luck. It's only anymore or not anymore.

This is the result of the famous “polar vortex” that is currently in force in Europe on this rather original fountain in Tervueren, close to Brussels.
Voici le résultat du fameux vortex polaire qui sévit en Europe sur cette fontaine plus qu’originale à Tervueren (une commune proche de Bruxelles).

Spent too much time around the house yesterday, so I thought I'd have another go atone of these.
It is hard to believe that when we went out and took these shots, the dam capacity was close to empty, I heard it was sitting around 5% capacity, but i can't confirm that.
Irrespective, that I can't corroborate that, even in the underexposed foreground you can see it is quite low. However, it is now at 125% capacity and spilling!
"Non mi illudere se poi non ci sei Non farmi dipendere da te se poi te ne vai. Non darmi attenzioni se poi smetti di farlo. Non darmi affetto se poi mi fai morire per averlo. Non riempirmi di emozioni se poi mi lasci un vuoto. Non farmi affezionare se poi sparisci.
Non trascinarmi giù, verso il fondo ,in un vortice di emozioni che non riesco a fermare. Piego i ricordi, prendo a calci il niente, straccio il dolore e risalgo piu forte"
Another shot from yesterday. Last winter we were hit by extreme cold weather due to a Polar Vortex, where a mass of Canadian air drops over the Great Lakes region. For the last two days we have been experiencing the summer time version of the same phenomenon, with temps 15 degrees below normal. It's fantastic!
On 9 November 2005, 10 years ago today, ESA’s Venus Express spacecraft left Earth and began its 153-day journey to Venus. The craft then spent eight years studying the planet in detail before the mission came to an end in December 2014.
One of the mission aims was to observe the planet’s atmosphere continuously over long periods in a bid to understand its dynamic behaviour.
The atmosphere is the densest of all the terrestrial planets, and is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide. The planet is also wrapped in a thick layer of cloud made mostly of sulphuric acid. This combination of greenhouse gas and perennial cloud layer led to an enormous greenhouse warming, leaving Venus’ surface extremely hot – just over 450ºC – and hidden from our eyes.
Although winds on the planet’s surface move very slowly, at a few kilometres per hour, the atmospheric density at this altitude is so great that they exert greater force than much faster winds would on Earth.
Winds at the 65 km-high cloud-tops, however, are a different story altogether. The higher-altitude winds whizz around at up to 400 km/h, some 60 times faster than the rotation of the planet itself. This causes some especially dynamic and fast-moving effects in the planet’s upper atmosphere, one of the most prominent being its ‘polar vortices’.
The polar vortices arise because there is more sunlight at lower latitudes. As gas at low latitudes heats it rises, and moves towards the poles, where cooler air sinks. The air converging on the pole accelerates sideways and spirals downwards, like water swirling around a plug hole.
In the centre of the polar vortex, sinking air pushes the clouds lower down by several kilometres, to altitudes where the atmospheric temperature is higher. The central ‘eye of the vortex’ can therefore be clearly seen by mapping thermal-infrared light, which shows the cloud-top temperature: the clouds at the core of the vortex are at a higher temperature, indicated by yellow tones, than the surrounding region, and therefore stand out clearly in these images.
Venus Express has shown that the polar vortices of Venus are among the most variable in the Solar System. This series of images of Venus’ south pole was taken with the VIRTIS instrument from February 2007 (top left) to April 2008 (bottom right).
The shape of this vortex core, which typically measures 2000–3000 km across, changes dramatically as it is buffeted by turbulent winds. It can resemble an ‘S’, a figure-of-eight, a spiral, an eye, and more, quickly morphing from one day to the next.
Each of the images in this frame is roughly 4000 km across.

"The Vortex"
Sitting outside the Museum of Modern Art in Fort Worth, the Vortex is an instant attention getter both for its immense size and because the reverberating sounds it makes when inside.
