The French Quarter in New Orleans is interesting night or day. I loved the color, texture, and feel of the old streets and architecture. It was especially handy to have the 28-300mm lens for shots like this to have the option of zooming to 300mm and compress the image.

Another look at architecture. This time it's a more playful, more imaginative take. Still, how much more wonderful and inspiring it might be to live and work in cities that were actually inspired - in their architecture, their planning, green space, public amenities and overall shape and composition?
What if architecture were to have, beyond of course it's very practical purpose, inspiration and the elevation of the culture as its prime directive? .....
Haven't we had enough of the ubiquitous glass box? I thought Modernism was dead ( at least in architecture ) ! Two Clock/Bell Towers and the "Bow". A ship of time.

^^^^^^^^^ *** I've noticed that every day, almost without fail, at least 30 - 50 people view this series, "RE-IMAGined Architectures". This image, to date, has 2,822 views. I really want to know who's viewing these images so regularly, and why. I am VERY curious. Are you architecture students, engineers, city planners, developers??????? Are the images up for discussion and how are they received in discussion. What kind of institution are these images being viewed at? What's the course and department. Someone please let me know! :-) *** ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Continuing my Astro Projection series on maximum WARP!!
Zoom-long exposure travelling in my out-of-body & lens experience on downtown-scapes during Canada Day festivities this summer! It was an exciting 2-stop manual zoom-journey during the long 30 sec exposure, experiencing all these festive city colours, lights and CN Tower's magical projection too...
...all brought to you by my manual zoom / long exposure magic! : )
*It's a SOOC image, manual zooming during long exposure - no processing involved!
....its doors in 1894 .........as penitentiary! Enlarged (!) ever
since it is now one of Germanys largest prisons.................
I like this dude Clohn who's steadily putting work up around Pittsburgh. He seems like he's got a real good outlook.
Central Java R-trip Episode 02 - Lawang Sewu
Lawang Sewu ("Thousand Doors") is a landmark in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, built as the headquarters of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company. The colonial era building is famous as a haunted house, though the Semarang city government has attempted to rebrand it.
Lawang Sewu was designed by Cosman Citroen, from the firm of J.F. Klinkhamer and B.J. Quendag. It was designed in New Indies Style, an academically-accepted term for Dutch Rationalism in the Indies. Similar with Dutch Rationalism, the style is the result of the attempt to develop new solutions to integrate traditional precedents (classicism) with new technological possibilities. It can be described as a transitional style between Traditionalists and the Modernists, and was strongly influenced by the design of Berlage.
Construction began in 1904 with A building, which was completed in 1907. The rest of the complex was finished in 1919. It was initially used by the Nederlandsch-Indische Spoorweg Maatschappij, the first railway company in the Dutch East Indies.
After the Japanese invaded Indonesia in 1942, the Japanese army took over Lawang Sewu. The basement of B building was turned into a prison, with several executions taking place there. When Semarang was retaken by the Dutch in the battle of Semarang in October 1945, the Dutch forces used the tunnel leading into A building to sneak into the city. A battle ensued, with numerous Indonesian fighters dying.Five employees working there were also killed.
After the war, the Indonesian army took over the complex. It was later returned to the national railway company. In 1992 it was declared a Cultural Property of Indonesia.

5XP HDR shot of Admiralty Arch near Trafalgar Square in London, England.
I walked via The Mall from Buckingham Palace to this location and kept reminding myself "It'll be worth it!" as I trudged along the deceptively long stretch, lol It was also very amusing to see the expressions on passenger's faces as they zoomed by in their cars or waited on the stop light as I was waiting on the long exposures. Yep, you know what I'm talking about... :D
The translation for the Latin inscription is:
(In the tenth year of King Edward VII, to Queen Victoria, from most grateful citizens, 1910)

The Place des Terreaux is a square located in the center of Lyon, France, on the Presqu'île between the Rhône and the Saône, at the foot of the hill of La Croix-Rousse in the 1st arrondissement of Lyon. The square belongs to the zone classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Life unfolds in this beautiful and busy central square, home to a superb fountain sculpted by Statue of Liberty designer, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi.
In the past, Place des Terreaux was used as a site of executions; crowds would have gathered here to watch public beheadings. It was redesigned in 1994 by architect Christian Drevet and artist Daniel Buren, who installed 69 jet fountains into the ground.
