Paisajes Emergentes

Dancing House, Prague, Czech Republic Touch of 1990s whimsy, Prague's "Dancing House," on Resslova Street, designed by Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunic, represents an upstanding Fred Astaire with a flare-skirted Ginger Rogers

Mayerne’s experiments with pigments, Sloane MS 2052, f. 81v

High Trestle Trail Bridge: Arching over the decking are 43 steel "cribbings," each lined with blue LED strips that come on at night—creating a must-see journey along the trail after dark. Walk through them, and you are bathed in the fluorescent glow; ride through them at 10 mph, and the lights spiral and blur together as though you're plunging deep into a mine or firing into warp drive.
