Don't ask, this is a new one in my experience. Maybe I'd call it a baby-bottle-brush flower.

You might enjoy using inaturalist. It's an app where you can report your observations of nature. It also helps identify the things you see plus it supposedly helps science and it's educational and fun.

Gosh, now that is something I'm interested in also. Thanks.
 
Stunning! This calls for a Shikoku travel journal.

That bridge just looks scary to cross when wet!
 
Sorry, but a design objection--the library looks like eye candy, rather than a place that invites people to browse, stay, relax and read. It's hard to see anyplace that you'd be able to stay and read for a while.

And the shelving is too often down on the floor, with the sight lines left open so you can see the building and ceiling decorations, rather than focus on books. Rather than vertical, at the very least there should have been some angle (lean back?) as in this:

 
I agree that those low shelves aren't exactly enticing. I was also irritated by the top beams protruding from under the roof, but I have to admit that our local ward library just doesn't compare to Mr Kuma's designs.
 
It's nice that the dog gets me out for walks, to see the flowers:

My daily life isn't nearly as photogenic as that of イェンス, so I only share commuter pics pimped up with Photoshop.





 
Must be cool to live in a big city with a river to go fishing in ?
