A playground that no longer exists. Behind the fence, a Ford factory that no longer exists.
From nearly 40 years ago, but there will be many a playground that looks like this today.

Here is a shot of Devils Tower at twilight with the Belt of Venus and the Moon serving as a beautiful, colorful backdrop for the scene. I had this entire area to myself, and it really was a peaceful and serene as it looks.
Sounds like a Bourne novel title doesn't it? Was trying to find a clever title for an image that is [to me] interestingly framed. The two churches along the Limmat river form the "goal posts" and between them you have two bright stars visible in the blue hour night... except that these aren't stars, this is Jupiter (on the left) and Venus (on the right) and they are getting closer in alignment all through the month of June until they appear nearly converged towards the end of June. This is a rare alignment and I had no idea as I was framing the shot. In fact, I hadn't intended to capture any stars at all, was hoping for some sunset color reflected in the water between my Zurich "goal posts", but sunset was a total bust (almost no color whatsoever).

HFF!
I found this fence while out for a drive in the countryside. The fence posts were in perfect alignment...straight as an arrow! You don't see that very often in rural areas.
Last week the conditions were perfect for the full moon and Trans America Building to intersect each other in perfect harmony. I met up with Tim McManus, and we walked down to Kirby Cove. For the long walk down, I brought a large wagon filled with two big lenses, tripod, and camera gear.
It was probably the warmest evening I have ever experienced at the Marin Headlands. We got down to the beach, and there was hardly a breeze. We set up our gear, and watched San Francisco reflect brilliant light towards us as the sun set behind us. The Golden glow from all the building's windows was amazing to watch. You could just tell with these conditions it was going to be a good moonrise! Nick Steinberg, and Stephen Boyle were set up next to us, and we waited for the moon to rise with some of the best conditions anyone could ask for.
Watching the moon ascend behind San Francisco on this evening was amazing! There were so many great moments during the moonrise, but this shot was my absolute favorite.
This is a single shot taken with a 600mm lens @ F/4 @ 1/4 second @ ISO 100.
My 600mm has no cpu chip, so my camera never records accurate exif info.
A big thanks to Tim for all his help!
Thanks for looking!

I keep being inesorably attracted by this kind of landscape views, just close to my home environment.
The edges. The light and the darkness.
The frozen land and the warm embrace of the first light.
The flat ground and the steep hills.
It's only one moment: everything just happens and lines up perfectly.
Sometimes I just feel that it was written. And I was so lucky to be at the right time in the right place, with the right mood. But when every thing lines up just perfectly, I realize that it can't be no more a matter of Chance. It's a matter of will. And the strive for the need of romance.

Gli allineamenti perfetti
Continuo a sentirmi inesorabilmente attratto da questo tipo di immagini, più o meno tipiche della mia terra. I confini. La luce, il buio.
Il terreno congelato e il caldo abbraccio della prima luce.
L'orizzonte piatto e le colline ripide.
E' solo un momento: ogni cosa accade e si allinea perfettamente.
Qualche volta mi sembra quasi che sia stato già scritto. E che sono stato solo fortunato nel trovarmi al posto giusto, al momento giusto, con il giusto animo. Ma quando ogni cosa risulta perfettamente allineata, mi accorgo che non è sempre frutto del caso. E' un atto cosciente. E lo sforzo per la ricerca di un po' di poesia.
Da ascoltare: Norah Jones, Sunrise

There are numerous follies on the Wentworth Woodhouse estate and the Needle’s Eye is one of the best known and probably the oldest. The Needle’s Eye is a 14m high pyramid shaped obelisk topped with an urn and arch (‘the eye’) running through its base. It is located 1 km north of Wentworth Woodhouse in Lee Wood and at the highest point of an old road that ran from the Lion (Rainborough) Lodge on the northern boundary of the estate. That road no longer exists but its alignment is easily seen when looking north to the Lion Lodge. The vista to the south of Wentworth Woodhouse no longer exists because of the trees nearer the house.
Legend has it that the Needle’s Eye was built by the 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, Charles Watson-Wentworth, to satisfy a wager that he could drive a “horse and carriage through the eye of a needle” circa 1780. A nice story but unlikely to be true though.
Charles’ father Thomas Watson-Wentworth the 1st Marquess of Rockingham listed a “building of an obelisk in Lee Wood in his summary of activity between 1722 and 1733. There is an engraving of an obelisk in Lee Wood dated 1728 and reference on a plan of the estate dated 1730. So, in all probability the Needle’s Eye was built between 1722 and 1730 and possibly before the 2nd Marquess was born.
A further curio is that there are small round holes on the eastern side of the obelisk, and these are thought to be from musket balls. There is an unsubstantiated rumour of a firing squad involving Jacobite rebels.
With no accurate record of when, why and who built it the Needles Eye remains on of the most enigmatic follies on the estate.

As we approach the Jupiter/Venus conjunction on 2 March, the Moon and the two planets align as they slip down to the south west soon after sunset.
Semáforos, luminarias, calles y edificios se alinean para terminar en el mismo lugar. - Traffic lights, luminaries, streets and buildings line up to end up in the same place.
It's not often that I manage to capture an image that exceeds my expectations.
I noticed this alignment of pine trees a couple of months ago, and wondered how it might look with the sun setting perfectly within the gap.
There are only a few days in any year where it would be possible to capture a photo exactly like this. Would the weather play along with my plans?
I've been returning to this exact spot most evenings this past week... hoping to capture my pre-visualised shot. Every previous attempt was a failure, with the sun disappearing behind the clouds before it appeared in my frame.
But then yesterday evening I got everything that I was hoping for... and more. I'm stoked! :)
Shinagawa for tourists is nothing more than a transfer point for shinkansen services and maybe a cheap hotel. For railfans, it is train heaven.
Perched above the busy JR Tokaido Line and Shinkansen is Keikyu's Main Line. The green steel through truss bridge and S curve make it a decades long railway landmark in Tokyo. Train traffic is heavy, with a train crossing over the bridge every minute or two during rush hour. However, the remodeling and track realignment of Shinagawa Station to improve grade separation will mean this view will be gone in a few years, roughly 2030.
Here during a cool autumn morning, an outbound Keikyu 600 Series exits Shinagawa bound for a rolling stock depot, while an inbound Toei Subway service from Haneda International Airport approaches Shinagawa.
