The Egg is a chair designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1959 for the Radisson SAS hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is manufactured by Republic of Fritz Hansen.
The Egg was designed in a typical Jacobsen style, using state-of-the-art material.
It is believed to be inspired by Eero Saarinen's "Womb chair", from which it borrows some traits.
Related to the Egg is the Swan chair and, to some degree, many of Jacobsen's plywood chairs such as "7", the Ant, the Cigar, the Grand Prix-chair, the Pot, the Drop and the Giraffe..
The Egg (like the Swan) was also designed as a couch. While the Swan couch is still in production, only a handful of Egg couches have ever been made. A few were made for the Radisson Hotel, and a few years back[when?], some were made as a "special edition" couch. The price was quite high—about 400,000 DKK, the equivalent of roughly US$75,000.
The reason for the limited production of the Egg couch, besides the wish for exclusivity, is the difficulty involved in making it, plus a design flaw: the couch is too big to be covered by two entire cow-hides, which is only just possible with the Egg-chair. This leaves a very visible stitching down the middle of the couch. This problem can, however, be solved by making the upholstery in fabric rather than leather.

3 pm. The weather's been like this off and on today. Gray, rainy and Blah. But it could be worse. We are just getting bands of rain off what is now Hurricane Hermine. Nothing really serious here. The brunt of the storm is north and west of us.
Our club gained access to the Winter Gardens which has money from the lottery fund and is about to be restored. It was a very interesting experience. Details here tinyurl.com/2whssyxu
The trees in the distance start to emerge from the fog that had blanketed the Mayfield Valley all day, as the sun starts to set. Another shot from my window last week.
An odd mix of a spring sunset and terrible air pollution caused by Havana's power plant resulted in a series of William Turner sunsets for the duration of my stay in the old city.
The city's power plant, lacking effective pollution control at the time, was burning very low grade bunker fuel that it was provided at a discount from Venezuela, in exchange for Cuban medical expertise and direct service in Venezuela. Ironical how selling healthcare resulted in creating a health hazard for the people of Havana.
The stack exhaust created a pall of ash that depending on the wind plumed over the city in a cloud or was blown either inland or out, towards the American coast.
Joseph Mallard William Turner lived and painted during a time of heavy industrialization in the UK and the rest of Europe, during which massive amounts of coal was burned to support industry and transportation. Knowing that and seeing the effect of fossil fuel ash in the atmosphere in Havana, goes along way to explaining the skies he painted.

Running, cold from cold, mind to eye
a mood within a mood set to rely
upon omniscient twilight of january
rubbing shoulders with time so carefree
pensive our these days isolated by hurts
mysterious to the mobility of all efforts
rasping gales in the showing mind of flypast
caught on the breeze hope remains steadfast
it's just a dream within a pane of a day agleam
a vista neither here nor there in dido scheme
call upon the view again in sunsetting splendour
a journey to speak of in this setting venture
now could be forever were it not for the missing seconds
taken to redeem shattered days of forgotten legends
remembered tonight like the proudest silhouette
resplendent crowns adorn the memory of a living vignette.

This one woke me up at 3am and usually I'll just turn around and drift back to sleep but this time the photographer in me kept poking until I got up and grabbed my IPhone and did quite a few window photos with beautiful rain drops reflections and glowing street water reflections. The downpour was such that it was really worth being awake for over an hour and enjoying the heavens opening over the village...
Actually I haven't take this shot.My one of the fellow junior captured this during his visit to his old palace. He showed me up. I found it eye catching and post it. I didn't know how to ypu feel about this shot. So put your valuable opinion here so that we can show you some amazing shot. This shot is a contrasty one!
Since 2000, I have documented Dark-eyed Junco arrivals and departures in my backyard. I created an album of 572 photographs of the species.

I know this gorgeous blossom as an Easter Cactus blossom, it shouldn't be blooming now, but it is!!! Lucky me, the plant is blooming on my living room windowsill ! Had to share its beauty with you! Please view large.
Often times the rain comes after the scary black clouds move on. Happily, no harm came to us from these clouds.
This morning, I express my sincere gratitude to the 'manflu', making me sufficiently unable to sleep properly, for not missing this spectacular sunrise. Even my nose got unblocked from the good vibe hormones flowing through my head.
Disclaimer
Enjoy the sunrise view the same way I did and please exercise caution when attempting to visualise the state of my nose! Have a brilliant Sunday everyone!
