      Sure dear Dale: sources are linked to the pictures 😉

      I would ask how you do that, but that would admit that I don't know how 😄 (which I don't, so ... How did you do that?)

      😄 In fact it's very simple,, but alas don't work with our Upload attachment manager! ( In case you will have to register to a free service like Photobucket to link your pictures)
      Very often you can right clic on a picture and choose to open it on another tab or just copy the link

      You just have to attach a the url to your picture like this.

      [url=http://www.xyz.com][img]xyz.jpg[/img][/url]
      

      exemple with this "natural" fine design 😆

                  Nice, Bob.

                  It reminds me of the Milwaukee Art Museum, which also definitely belongs in this thread 👍 The architect, Santiago Calatrava, designed the 'wings' to actually move. They open in the morning(weather permitting), 'flap' once at noon, and close in the evening.

                    I just wanted to comment on those Clark photos posted by simon le bon. Man, those are amazing, and shows real dedication. I could imagine the bruises suffered in the getting.

                    I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                            One of SketchUcation's contributors Richard designed these, and in keeping with the top quality of work he produces whether it is a set of design guidelines, or it appears handbags.

                            Catch the thread here.
                            This IMHO exemplifies fine design. Simple, well thought out, understated. Brilliant

                                      Actually I have built the stair drawers many times. Don't know who originally thought of it, but it is a damn fine use of space.

                                        Rich, when my daughter was a baby we had springs under the feet of her crib. Great idea indeed.

                                          A quote from the always quotable atomic physicist Niels Bohr:
                                          " To think about the paradoxical truths of quantum mechanics is to think in images, because the only way to know anything about the invisible is to create an image of it that is by definition a human construct, a model, a half-truth trying to hint at the real truth."
                                          He also collected cubist paintings by the likes of Picasso... thought provoking.Screen shot 2012-02-02 at 5.58.48 AM.png

                                            Another fine piece from Marcus (d12dozr), who you all know for his contributions to SketchUcation.
                                            Here is a link to the Thread in case you haven't seen it. http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=383931#p383931
                                            In my own experience, there is nothing more exciting than seeing something you envision come to life. It's a big undertaking, and I congratulate Marcus on bringing this little gem to life.Screen shot 2012-02-10 at 6.17.57 AM.png
