St Peter, Needham
It is an ill wind which blows nobody any good, and Needham has benefited from the hideous Diss to Yarmouth road which now bypasses it, leaving it a pleasant, pretty village with an exceptionally wide and empty high street. St Peter is thoroughly rural, sitting in a tight little churchyard right beside the road. In the days when the juggernauts were hurtling through to the east coast ports, it must have been as beleagured as poor little Thorpe Abbotts a couple of miles off. Now, it is a haven of peace, dripping with wysteria and laburnum.
Well out of the loop with Flickr after a busy week. Threw this together just as I left the house again this morning. Another shot looking west down the nave of Exeter Cathedral. Pleased with the shot, but not had a proper look after a harried processing and may be a little dark.

Bronkhorst is one of the smallest cities in Holland, with only 171 inhabitants in 2006. It attracts a lot of tourists because the buildings and streets didn’t change much during the last hundred years. Besides that, Bronkhorst is famous for the Charles Dickens museum.
The word Yazd means, feast and worship, The city of Yazd has resisted the modern urbasisation changes and maintained its traditional structure. The geographical features of this region have made people developed special architectural styles. For this reason, in the older part of the city most houses are built of mud-bricks and have domed roofs. These materials served as insulation preventing heat from passing through.
The existence of special ventilation structures, called Badgirs, on the roofs is a distinctive feature of the architecture of this city (A Badgir is a high structure on the roof under which, in the interior of the building, there is a small pool). Therefore, Yazd has presented its stable identity at the foothills of the 4000 meter Shir Kooh.
The Turning Torso is a residential skyscraper in Malmö, Sweden. It towers 190m high and was completed in 2005.
This photo is a 263s long exposure with a stacked 10-stop and 6-stop ND filter. The weather was sunny but bearable - taking this kind of photo in Singapore in the daytime is tough!

El Puente Monumental de La Arganzuela, también conocido como Puente de Perrault, es sin lugar a dudas, el lugar más fotografiado, visitado y recorrido de Madrid-Río.
Pasarela sobre el Río Manzanares, su forma de tirabuzón y sus dos brazos que suman 278 metros le hacen verdaderamente espectacular y futurista. Su cobertura, de malla metálica que brilla con el sol durante el día, y su iluminación nocturna permiten que este puente se vea prácticamente desde todo el Parque. Su pavimento interior es de madera y por él pueden circular bicicletas y peatones.
Desde un punto de vista práctico, el puente de Perrault une los distritos de Arganzuela – con entrada por el paseo de Yeserías- y Carabanchel - a la calle Antonio López.
Dominique Perrault, a quien este puente debe su sobrenombre, es el arquitecto francés de 57 años que ha diseñado y dirigido la construcción de este Puente que ha costado a la ciudad de Madrid 13,6 millones de euros.
En definitiva, toda una obra de nuestro tiempo, que con el paso de los años se convertirá sin duda alguna en uno de los iconos de Madrid.
Este puente es obra del arquitecto francés Dominique Perrault, al cual los madrileños debemos también la Caja Mágica. El puente unirá el Paseo de Yeserías y la Avenida del Manzanares, y será la puerta principal de entrada al parque de Arganzuela. La inauguración será el próximo 15 de abril, y como podéis observar en las fotos (20 de marzo de 2011) está ya muy avanzado. Tiene 250 metros de longitud y 5 metros de anchura, con carril bici, paseo para peatones y unas gradas para sentarse. El suelo es de madera y en el centro tiene grupos de farolas con varios focos.
Esta foto ha tenido su día de gloria en el blog de María Cañal - Escarabajos bichos y mariposas, siendo la coprotagonista junto con la canción Go your own way - Fleetwood Mac.

I can't decide between the two images which is the better one this one or version 1 so I'll let you decide and I'll delete the one with the less likes. You may hate both which is equally fine as I'm very unsure myself.
Department of Energy Headquarters Building
Architects: Curtis & Davis (1968)
Location: Washington, DC (SW)
This brutalist concrete office building was harshly and widely criticized upon its construction, and it's pretty easy to see why. It cuts off the rest of the L'Enfant Plaza neighborhood from the National Mall, and appears, as the Washington Post put it in 1968, like "an elephant teetering on giraffe legs". It's also a bit scary and imposing looking, especially when viewed from below, in the street.
Despite being literally across the street from the National Mall and the city's greatest tourist attractions, there are no tourists here - only government workers who react suspiciously when they see someone with a camera. I was confronted by both government employees and very aggressive security guards who told me that that I couldn't take pictures of the buildings and that if I was not a Department of Energy employee, that I would need to leave the area immediately - despite being in a public area. So the whole area has devolved into a sort of Orwellian nightmare, both in the architecture and the behavior of those who inhabit it.
Incidentally, for those of you who may be wondering, photographing Federal government buildings is perfectly legal and authorized. The Department of Homeland Security, itself, has issued guidance to clarify the official position: documents.nytimes.com/photographing-federal-buildings-fro...
Tom said he's hadn't ever heard of temperatures that high (98-103°) at Rainier, and I can think of no better shot to prove my point. I suppose I could have taken a shot of my wife on the ground being attended to for heatstroke. (Fortunately, a nurse with a gallon of water happened to be passing us at 8,200 feet and tended to my wife and then walked us back down to the base.)
Architects: Henn Architekten
Project: Bugatti Studio
Location: Molsheim, Alsace, France
Client: Bugatti Automobiles
Area TGA: 3570 m²
Planning: 2002 – 2003
Construction period: 2003 – 2004
From Wikipedia: The original plans designed by Hoit, Price and Barnes included a twin building to be paired on the immediate west side of the building, but plans were abandoned after the Great Depression took a greater toll than expected. As a result, the west side of the building has no windows. After its completion in 1931, the Power and Light Building was Missouri's tallest habitable structure at 36 stories, until the completion of the One U.S. Bank Plaza building in St. Louis in 1976. In 2002, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Taken from the 27th Floor of my office building across the way medium high atop downtown Kansas City, Missouri (I know I know, I should be working but . . . . . ).

Inspired by Montanan Brett Swain ( www.flickr.com/photos/brettswain/ ). Over a recent dinner we had, I moaned that I had no mountains to photograph in Kansas City, and he reminded me that he had no urban sky lines to photograph in Kalispell Montana. Proof that it is all in the perspective.
Resuming a series of photos from Vietnam (?). Circa 1972. These photos are from book number 3 of 5. Enjoy.
Extreme contrast - Acros 100 rated at 80 iso. Rodinal 1:100 stand development, 1 hour @68F, agitated every minute for first 5 minutes and then 2 inversions twice during the hour. Pretty pleased with the tonal range and lack of grain. First time I've tried stand development.

In 1901 besloot de Haagse gemeenteraad de elektriciteitsvoorziening in eigen beheer te nemen. De te bouwen ‘Electriciteitsfabriek’, een ontwerp uit 1904 van de gemeente-architect A.A. Schadee, werd gebouwd op het Kleine Veentje. Dit was een onbebouwd terrein van volktuinen net buiten de singels. Het technisch ontwerp was van het Gemeentelijk Energie Bedrijf (GEB) in samenwerking met het Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) dat ook de elektrische installaties leverde. De Duitse centrales van AEG met hun burcht- en paleisachtige architectuur hebben Schadee duidelijk beïnvloed bij zijn ontwerp. Het gebouw heeft een rijk uitgewerkte gevelbeëinidiging met siermetselwerk, kantelen en arkeltorentjes. Dominant in het stadsbeeld waren twee hoge bakstenen schoorstenen langs het Verversingskanaal.
Het industriële complex is voor een deel nog altijd in gebruik als elektriciteitscentrale en warmtekrachtcentrale voor het netwerk van de stadsverwarming.
