Casts

Think that’s one of the things I like about macro, you can make something mundane look more interesting!
Shoreline remains of wooden moulds used to cast concrete blocks. These were used to build the Churchill Barriers on Orkney. The wood has weathered from exposure to sea water over the decade and the steel hooks and rings used to move them by crane are slowly rusting away.
Worth expanding this photo to see the texture and the spiders web!
Challenge on flickr: CoF**4 - HIGH CONTRAST
J'ai retrouvé un série de diapositives (Ektachrome) prises lors de mon stage ouvrier en 1971 effectué dans l'aciérie Röchling à Völklingen en Sarre.
Ici, la fonte en fusion sort du gueulard et s'écoule via des rigoles ménagées dans le sol vers des cuves montées sur des wagons, qui étaient situées à l'"étage" inférieur. La fonte était ensuite transportée vers les convertisseurs de l'aciérie.
Le plus gros risque à ces postes était la "percée": au lieu de suivre docilement le chemin ouvert par la perceuse (die Bohrmaschine), la fonte se créait sa propre issue dans le revêtement réfractaire du haut fourneau et une "jolie" cascade incandescente imprévue se mettait à arroser les ouvriers...
Les derniers hauts fourneaux ont cessé de travailler depuis longtemps, en France comme en Allemagne.

The last sunlight cast a shadow on a dune, viewed from Balanced Rock in Big Bend National Park. The landscape seemed to glow in gold color. The backdrop is Chihuahuan Desert.
Another autumn day. Sun shined through trees and cast lights on the ground when I hiked down from Mt Kearsarge. Phenomenally trees, branches and ground were lit up. Took to use iPhone 17.

Winter has shown us its less beautiful side in the last few days. It's actually cloudy, dreary and gray out there all day long. Probably at night too, but we are spared this sight because of the regular darkness.
Now it's time for me to change the seasons once again to at least spread a little light and color here.
And so we go back to a beautiful November evening in the beautiful Elbe Sandstone Mountains (on the outskirts of Lohmen) in a beautiful beech forest (someone might say I have a problem with superlatives) and enjoy the sun as it casts stripes of light and shadow on the forest floor.
By the way, the area directly in front of us spontaneously reminded me of a road, which led to the title of this picture.
Der Winter zeigt sich uns in den letzten Tagen von seiner weniger schönen Seite. Es ist eigentlich den ganzen Tag lang trüb, trist und grau da draußen. Nachts wahrscheinllich auch, doch da bleibt uns dieser Anblick auf Grund der regelmäßig einsetzenden Dunkelheit erspart.
Da wird es jetzt Zeit für mich einmal mehr die Jahreszeiten zu wechseln um wenigstens hier ein bisschen Licht und Farbe zu verbreiten.
Und so gehen wir noch einmal zurück zu einem wunderschönen Novemberabend im wunderschönen Elbsandsteingebirge (am Stadtrand von Lohmen) in einen wunderschönen Buchenwald (da soll mal einer sagen ich hätte ein Problem mit Superlativen) und genießen die Sonne, wie sie den Waldboden in Streifen aus Licht und Schatten teilt.
Der direkt vor uns liegende Bereich hat mich übrigens spontan an eine Strasse erinnert, was dann zum Titel dieses Bildes geführt hat.

There was a great orange horizon when we arrived at Burnham Overy staithe to catch the dawn colours which cast some interesting light on the old building.

Seems the wind has knocked out my main internet, so will catch up extra slowly :D But when do I ever catch up quickly?
Wishing all a fine weekend ahead...
The original shot.Cast iron fronted buildings were constructed by machine made,and mass-made and mass-produced interchangeable parts that were simply bolted to the façades,and that allowed for exuberant designs and many different architectural styles that were mimicked like neo-classical and Romanesque.This kind of manufacturing was introduced in the Industrial Revolution (around 1790 and into the 1850's).Steel manufacturing had not yet been invented,but came later in the Second Industrial Revolution.I don't know the architectural style or the former names of the buildings shown here,but from top to bottom the intricate ornamentation on them look pretty amazing!The greenish building on the right is a retail store telling from the banner hanging on it.Some of the old commercial buildings in Manhattan's SoHo district were originally retail stores anyway,so the newer buildings like these are just keeping with tradition.Hope you like it.Have a great week ahead. pocket.co/soHUts
This shot shows the shadow of some peeling lettering on a shop window cast onto a letter L that was part of the window display.
Some of the folks in that appear in the "Grand" family album. Check out the sistah with the baseball bat. Do not mess with her...she is wielding even bigger things in another picture.
Out shooting I’m always swapping between the incredible Schneider 28mm Tilt Shift and 90mm Tilt Shift and love both lenses equally. The 28mm is super easy to use and pin sharp throughout the aperture range and is fairly forgiving with focus, the 90mm on the other hand is a real tricky beast and has to be perfectly focused for optimum sharpness. I find I have to slow everything down and make sure tripod and camera are firmly positioned.
One of the first truths you encounter about Patagonia is that no two days are the same. Known for unpredictable weather, photography in Patagonia is a game of chance. But when you win, you win big. On this morning the peaks of Cuernos stand up and greet the sunrise with a fierce disrespect, casting shadows for miles over the landscape and in your mind. The mountains always have something to say no matter the conditions and leave you pining for more.

The 1882 New York Mercantile Exchange building on Broadway in the SoHo historic district of Manhattan.This building also has a cast iron facade on it.You can't really see the metal nuts on it,but the signs of rust and discoloration are evident on the facade.Of the beautiful details you'll see on the structure there are some images of roses on it🌷.The building was designed by HJ Schwartzmann & Co. who also designed the Puck Building,twelve shots down.
GLENORCHY - QUEENSTOWN - NEW ZEALAND
After three days of miserable rain we had a relatively clear morning, so I headed out at 4am for Glenorchy to shoot the pier, the temperature dropped last night so we had a nice dusting of snow throughout the region, I had the pier to myself all morning and finally settled on the classic composition.
I hope everyone is having a nice start to the year.
