Annalia S.'s photos with the keyword: grid

Light and shadows play on a grid protecting a vent and generate an optical effect: if you look at the image for a couple of seconds, you will see small grey dots appearing and disappearing where the lines criss-cross. I want to dedicate this to Goandgo, who is responsible for inspiring me to look with a different eye at these utilitarian subjects, supposedly "boring" and common place but actually quite interesting when the light plays on them! Hope everyone has a great HFF!

At the children's playground of the Anconella Park in South Florence one can see a small, half finished replica of Brunelleschi's cupola that was made to demonstrate one of the possible building techniques the master architect could have devised for his unique masterpiece (see also side view in the pip). The replica shows both the herringbone bricklaying technique and the "slack rope" curvature of the various subsequent sections that make up the cupola's unusual building structure. (anyone interested can see a video illustrating this hypothesis of Brunelleschi's building technique here: brunelleschi.imss.fi.it/genscheda.asp?appl=LIR&xsl=filmato&lingua=ENG&chiave=100986 ) The openings left at ground level were later either bricked in or fenced off (or both, as can be seen in the main image), probably to keep children and pets from wandering in. Only a rather small grid/fence this week, but HFF all the same! I hope everyone has a pleasant weekend!

Weathered and peeling but still securely locked, an old farm gate blocks access to a sunlit field at the outskirts of the hamlet of Girone. Shaded by nearby trees, the fence lies in darkness, while the last light of the afternoon bathes the landscape beyond. From nearly locked down Tuscany, I wish everyone a HFF, a good weekend and the strength we need to deal with these sad, scary times.

In a renovated building along the river banks, an old arch window maintains its brick arch and interesting old iron grid, while the new steel and glass window reflects the trees at the Cascine Park on the opposite bank of the river ... and part of my bicycle that I thought I had parked out of the way enough not to turn up in the shot but evidently didn't :D In the pip: a detail of the grid design (and unintended reflection of my arm, of course!). HFF and a great weekend to all!

Just a wall of a storage building along the river that seemed to have several layers of history ...
