Shiny Pillar in Wisconsin State Capitol Building

Super glossy polish on the granite pillar in Wisconsin State Capitol building shows mirrored image of curved skylights below as well as reflection of barrel-vaulted wing, recapitulating overall building

Reason #48 why I love the State Capitol Building: the architectural details in this surface recapitulate those in the entire building's plan.

Dueling Circles

Black polyester with bright blue, black, purple, yellow, orange, fuschia and cornflower blue circles in a regular grid rests on top of fuschia pink polyster with sketchy white outlined circles in almost random sizes and positions.

Part of an exhibit at my branch library, a group work called "Books on Books," by http://arts-tribe.com

This mixed-media piece is "Book of Life, an End" by Jayne Reid Jackson

...from the exceptionally talented deli staff at our local food coop, Willy Street Coop.

Most of the gingerbread houses were shingled entirely in shiny candy, but the Coop took a more "natural" looking approach with graham crackers. I thought the maple sugar candy decorations interspersed with star anise were particularly exquisite.

The CASAs are court-appointed special advocates who volunteer to act in the "best interests of the child" in custody issues in U.S. courts. That people are making cakes to raise money for this work shows that family health is low on our national scale.

Clearly someone is living their dreams with this car. Choosing one shot was hard.

I seem compelled to caption these images. What do other shutter-speedsters think? Does it modify your experience?

This "Window to the Stars" seems like abstract art, but

sasha_feather can testify that it's actually my living room ceiling.

Up north in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, light and water are major industries (after popsicle stick factories and paper converters).
