The Builders Arms Hotel is a historic pub on Gertrude Street Fitzroy, and the public bar has been whetting the whistle of locals since 1853.
With the last car just clearing the Rum River, the eastbound Empire Builder passes the Northstar commuter rail station at Anoka enroute to St Paul Union Depot.
Architect:
Built in: 1537
Builder: Gustav Vasa (Gustav I of Sweden, born Gustav Eriksson of the Vasa noble family and later known as Gustav Vasa, King of Sweden from 1523 until his death, 29 September 1560.)
“On the shores of Lake Mälaren, Gripsholm Castle towers powerfully and fairytale-like over the idyllic small town of Mariefred in Södermanland. Gripsholm is known as Gustav Vasa's castle, as it was he who built the castle here in 1537. Take time to wander slowly through the many rooms and winding passages. Gripsholm Castle is filled with over four-hundred years of history.
See the Swedish State's collection of portraits – featuring prominent Swedes from the days of Gustav Vasa to present day musician and composer Benny Andersson.
At Gripsholm you can take a royal stroll around the romantic castle grounds or meet the royal deer at the Hjorthagen nature reserve.”
While Amtrak train 7, the westbound 'Empire Builder' waits in the Milwaukee Intermodal Station, CSXT 140 pulls through on the bypass with a CP ethanol train.

Titled after a song by Gong. "Master Builder", on their album "YOU" is a power-house piece of music like no other. Starting off with deep Tibetan style chanting and repeated mystic syllables, the song gradually and gradually builds up to a muscular, repeated figure leading to furious and dazzling displays of synth, guitar and saxophone.
"Master Builder" takes no prisoners. It makes no compromises and relays a spiritual power that is hair-raising and breathtaking. It's shocking, rocketing finish is like being propelled out of cannon into the vast, light filled sky of another universe. In this case, on the album, "Master Builder" leads to the complex wonder of "A Sprinkling of Clouds", one of the greatest pieces Gong ever created. The two songs are inextricably linked.
It is this moment, from the Zen-shock finish of "Master Builder" and the propulsion into "A Sprinkling of Clouds" that came to mind when this image was created.
"Master Builder
Tell me how you make a Temple.
Jewels and Moonstones
You don't really need them.
You know.
Master Builder,
Tell me what the Temple's
Made of.
Deep inside you,
You can make
An Invisible Temple
In your own Imagination
If you Will."
- Allen, Smyth, Blake, Malherbe, Moerlen, Howlett, Hillage.

Returning to Chicago on the eastbound Builder is a handful of horizons and amfleets from 'Snow Train' on the west coast, it's not very often you get to see Amtrak's single-level cars out here, especially on a 'warm' December day...
Skokie, Illinois. Fabulous sculpture outside the most mundane business strip in the world. There's a sculpture park nearby; maybe this one is in for repair.
The Empire Builder at one of my favorite places to shoot; Approaching Duke. Became a little more difficult to visit after 9/11 since the Prairie Island Nuclear plant is just to the right.
One of Gunnars best clients is the well-known boat builder Hanko Swift. He runs his business together with his three sons.
After many memorable adventures on their travels, Elmar and Adele von Rabenstein finally decide to return home. With some of the golden coins from their treasure heist they buy a brand new boat with a custom yellow painting from Hanko and say "goodbye for this time!"

Amtrak 45 leads Amtrak train #7 a shortened version of the Empire Builder only going as far as St Paul due to snow in North Dakota. Westbound at Lake Forest, IL.
Amtrak 116 and 162 lead up the inbound builder just after sunset with only a few miles to still go till the trip is over.
Last year, I photographed barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) both in Norway, Greece and Kenya.
This one collected nest materials in a pond on a dirt road in Greece in May.

La catedral de Colonia (en alemán, Kölner Dom —oficialmente Hohe Domkirche St. Peter) es un templo católico de estilo gótico, comenzó a construirse en 1248 y no se terminó hasta 1880. Está situada en el centro de la ciudad de Colonia. Con sus 157 metros de altura fue el edificio más alto del mundo hasta la culminación del Monumento a Washington en 1884, de 170 metros. Es el monumento más visitado de Alemania. Es además la sede del arzobispo de Colonia y de la administración de la arquidiócesis de Colonia. Fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 1996.

Cologne Cathedral (German: Kölner Dom, officially Hohe Domkirche Sankt Petrus, English: Cathedral Church of Saint Peter) is a Catholic cathedral in Cologne, Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne and of the administration of the Archdiocese of Cologne. It is a renowned monument of German Catholicism and Gothic architecture and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1996. It is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day, and currently the tallest twin-spired church at 157 m (515 ft) tall.
Construction of Cologne Cathedral commenced in 1248 and was halted in 1473, leaving it unfinished. Work restarted in the 19th century and was completed, to the original plan, in 1880. The cathedral is the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe and has the second-tallest spires. The towers for its two huge spires give the cathedral the largest façade of any church in the world. The choir has the largest height to width ratio, 3.6:1, of any medieval church.
Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of the Three Kings and fit its role as a place of worship for the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe".
“A job you have to do, or a job you want to do?” I asked as I approached. “Oh I love it.” Was the answer. This is one of the roughest paths on Cader Idris, mostly used as a descent route. Erosion from footfall and weather has taken its toll. The massive chunks of stone are dropped in by helicopter and then chaps like this slowly manhandle then into place. He’s been at this since September and has another year to go. Funding is an issue, having lost some in European money due to Brexit, so if you’re visiting, use the car park, pay the fee, it all helps these guys continue to improve and maintain the paths too many people take for granted.
Fortunately, I don't actually have a multi-ton block of plastic crushing me. However I still need your help. What should I build next?
I photographed the builders and staff for a contracting company here in Ottawa. I think what's different about these is you rarely see the faces of who will actually be working on your home or business. L3 doesn't sub-contract any of it's work, so an in-house team means a bit of stability and I think a more personable approach. We shot these on a job-site so the dirt is real ;)
Strobist info: Elinchrom Ranger Quadra through a Westcott Apollo Orb on-axis and angled towwards subject. Large silver scrim-jim below for fill. A Ranger Quadra through an 18cm gridded reflector for the background (2 lights). Triggered with skyports.
This is a shot that I did for a builder's portfolio. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.
It's about 10-12 total layers. Sky and grass replacements. Several flash pops STU to bring up the lights a little. I tried to accentuate what was more than just lighting it all up.
While the next round of Iron Builder rages on, I present a trophy to my victorious opponent Andrew, as per the tradition of the Iron Builder competition.
I hope there is space for this Brickarms Bionidoll trophy to stand proud on your shelf of wonders!
Cheers! : D
The Empire Builder at Chestnut St. A couple hours late as it descends Short Line Hill and heads to St Paul Union Depot.
For the Iron Builder Contest - playing catch-up at the moment!
For the record, I'm colour blind, so a sand green squid looks perfectly normal! As for the four tentacles... no comment!
