"De Kijkbuis"

Meyer en van Schoten Architects

 

Footbridge "De Kijkbuis" connects the NS trainstation with the Media Park.

 

In den Gärten befinden sich mehrere Denkmäler und Statuen, darunter das Reiterdenkmal General Louis Bothas (erster Premierminister der Südafrikanischen Union), das Delville Wood War Memorial zur Erinnerung an die Südafrikanischen Soldaten, die im Ersten Weltkrieg und während des Koreakriegs starben, und das South African Police Memorial für die südafrikanischen Polizisten, die während der Ausübung ihres Dienstes starben. Die Statue Nelson Mandelas wurde am 16. Dezember 2013 durch Präsident Jacob Zuma eingeweiht und befindet sich am früheren Standort der Statue von James Barry Munnick Hertzog (Premierminister 1924–1939). Die Statue Hertzogs wurde um 90 Grad gedreht nach Osten versetzt. Einige Geschütze säumen die Union Buildings. Eine Besonderheit stellt dabei die 10,5-cm-Kanone an der westlichen Zufahrt dar, welche ursprünglich ein Geschütz der SMS Königsberg war und nach deren Versenkung im Rufijidelta durch die Briten geborgen wurde.

MYANMAR ,Burma - Old-Bagan, Sonnenuntergang mit Blick von der imposanten Shwesandaw-Pagode(Tempel)

MYANMAR ,burma - Old-Bagan , zum Sonnenuntergang auf die Shwesandaw-Pagode,

 

Zum Sonnenuntergang total überfüllt.

 

Die Stufenpyramide hat fünf quadratische Terrassen, dann zwei achteckige Zwischenstufen und schließlich den klassischen zylindrischen Stupa-Aufbau mit Glocke, Turban, doppeltem Lotus, Bananenknospe und Hti. An den vier Seiten führen bis zur fünften Terrasse Treppen hinauf. Früher dienten sie den Gläubigen, damit sie die inzwischen verschwundenen Terrakotta-Platten mit Szenen aus den Jatakas auf den einzelnen Terrassen erreichen konnten; heutzutage steigen Touristen hinauf, um den Sonnenuntergang zu bewundern.

 

Wir natürlich auch.

This is at Carr`s Lookout at 4am just after moonrise

The clouds were rushing through

I waited until one past and tried to get a shot away ,succeeding occasionally

This is a three shot stitch

Empty alley, closed doors... a cat staring at me... clouds gathering, it's about to rain. Where have all people gone?

 

Location, Kastoria, Hellas.

 

Have a wonderful day my friends and thank you all for your kind visits, comments and faves.

I decided to re-edit this piece because I felt that the first image hadn’t quite lived up to it’s name nor the moment that I had captured.

 

The morning I had captured this, a storm had just passed through, the beach was soaking wet from the rain, it was windy and cold - all-in-all it was pretty miserable. I decided to do one last long exposure of about 15 seconds before packing it in. During that 15 seconds the sky lit up like a fire had rolled through, brilliant reds, yellows and oranges burst at the horizon.

 

Sitting under the pier with my camera, the right side was full of illumination and brilliance and the left side was dark and moody. This re-edit shows (in my opinion) a more accurate telling of what I saw that morning.

The Schnoor quarter is the oldest documented quarter of Bremen and it has largely preserved its medieval character.

 

First mentioned in the 13th century. The two oldest remaining buildings are from 1401 and 1402 respectively. Some buildings are just remaining facades or have been relocated from other locations.

La luz tiende su velo de plata sobre el mar.

Sosegadas, las olas subliman el silencio

de los tímidos pasos del día

aventurándose en su costumbre

de ruidos ascendentes

 

La piel se recupera y va asumiendo

el esplendor del sol que ya prodiga

su lujo de colores y relieves

el mar azul, el avaro espejo

en que se mira el cielo soleado

y en su vaivén el rumor de las olas

sugiere un largo viaje a la memoria.

Cada día renueva su memoria viejos días

en la unidad de tiempo que es la vida

 

The light spawns its silver light over the sea.

Pacified, the waves magnify the silence

of the feeble steps of the day

venturing into their habit

of increasing noises.

 

The skin gets over and is assuming

the splendor of the sun which already lavishes

its luxury of colors and reliefs,

the blue sea, the greedy mirror

in which the sunny sky watches itself

and in its swinging the sound of the waves

suggests a long trip to memory.

Each day renews its memory, old days

in the time unit which is the life.

En ocasiones tenemos una idea preconcebida de una imagen, cierta composición que nos atrae, y esperamos que se produzca algo especial, pasan los días pero no obtenemos los resultados que esperábamos, derrepente un día ocurre eso que estábamos esperando y se produce tan rápidamente que o estamos preparados con todo dispuesto o se nos escapa, este es uno de esos procesos la luz comenzó a envolver los árboles de la zona izquierda de la composición otorgándoles un colorido para mi muy especial, pero el sol sólo permitió hacer apenas unas cuantas fotos en menos de 5 minutos este efecto ya se había evaporado y por suerte conseguí plasmarlo con bastante acierto en esta fotografia, espero les guste.

 

Muchas gracias a todos

Thanks so much!!

Torneträsk or Torne träsk is a lake in Kiruna Municipality, Lapland, Norrbotten County in Sweden, in the Scandinavian mountain range. Träsk is the local word for lake (in Standard Swedish it means "swamp"). It is the sixth largest lake in Sweden, with a total area of 330 square kilometres and a length of 70 kilometres. The lake drains to the south-east through Torne älv. South-west of the lake lie the Abisko National Park and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Laponian area.

 

Torneträsk originated from the remnant of a glacier, which has given the lake its depth of 168 metres, making it the second deepest lake in Sweden. It is usually ice-covered from December through June, with variations dependent on temperature variations.
