Copper Swirl
This is a piece of modern architectural work that is amazing in its use of swirling metal, which looks like it could almost be made of cloth, so graceful and lifelike are the curves.

@ Copper Swirl

Blue And Copper Egg
The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.

Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.

Small and Greater Escalator
Escalators are an indispensable part of a mobile society. They keep people moving in virtually all areas of public life, from airports and railway stations to shopping centres, large department stores and even the larger hotels. They can handle a huge amount of people, and are beneficial to the elderly or those with reduced mobility, as an escalator can be fitted in the same space as stairs, and means they don't have to climb stairs. There is no waiting time either -- just stand on the first step, hold the handrail and be transported to the floor or floors above!
