This is one image in a series I'm shooting on parking decks ... shapes and forms, light and shadow play, mood and atmosphere. Some images are minimalist; others representational; still others abstract. To see more in the series click Parking Deck Series

I've been wanting to visit this spot for years, and finally found a day to do so. I had clear skies, so I put cameras facing in opposite directions. This camera looked out from the columns, and the other camera captured the North Star over these columns. A small moon provided helpful illumination over the landscape; this is a single image with no compositing/stacking involved.
Taken from the entrance of the Pantheon. To this day I am amazed that I was standing before and inside a building that was constructed nearly 2,000 years ago.
Hailed as one of the great works of twentieth-century sculpture, Endless Column by Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957) was commissioned by the Women's League of Gorj to honor the soldiers who defended Târgu-Jiu against a German force during World War I. The sculpture is a 98-foot-high (30 meter) column of zinc, brass-clad, cast-iron modules threaded onto a steel spine, and is part of a three-sculpture ensemble along with two travertine monuments called Gate of the Kiss and Table of Silence. Despite the ensemble's artistic importance, it was considered degenerate art during the Communist era.

The “line_up“ is a paperwork series I developed since 2010. The “liners” are made out of paper (Din A3/A4),
oil paint and graphite. The theme is the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers.

It's not easy for me to take a macro of a tripod without a tripod!... so I needed to bump up ISO to 25600 in order to take hand held @ 1/160th.

One I took a while ago - we don't get the aurora too often so had to try! One lesson learned - scout out a better location to shoot before you go out at night and drive around in the dark for an hour looking for a decent place.....

The history column is the essential part of a fountain on the Josef-Görres-Platz in the old town of Koblenz. It was presented to the city by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate in 1992 for the 2000th anniversary celebrations. However, it was only completed and handed over to the city on June 1, 2000. The fountain with historical column was created by the sculptor Jürgen Weber. The column, which is 10.59 meters high, weighs 3.6 tons and costs DM 1.25 million, tells the moving 2000-year history of the city of Koblenz in ten images from Roman times to the present day. From 1884 until it was removed shortly after World War II, the Goeben Monument stood on the same site in honor of the Prussian General August Karl von Goeben.
The following events are shown in rows from bottom to top:
