New building facade: The Dutch Vault

Royal Dutch Mint, Houten (NL)

  

After countless juxtapositions it has become clear to me that these can be found everywhere. For the unsuspecting audience, the complicated juxtapositions are often too difficult to read, while the simple ones are too easy for the attentive observer.

 

Now it's time for something different, a subject that has always fascinated me. Surprising compositions in the everyday, a special view of buildings, lines made abstract. I hope the intention comes across. The name of the new series is Lines and planes.

 

This curious building suggests depth that, on closer inspection, is based on optical illusion. From a distance, this hall is a real eye-catcher. It is the new warehouse and distribution center of the Dutch "Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt" in Houten. The KNM produces not only Dutch coins but also delivers coins to over 70 countries worldwide.

 

Designed by Wastiau & co architects from Belgium, the warehouse looks like a massive gold brick. The golden color on the outside was specially made to match the colours of the Euro coins.

Lake Garda, Italy

 

There are countless jetties dotted all around Lake Garda... the only problem is, you need to be an Olympic Long Jumper or Pole Vaulter to access 99% of them. Most are either the property of the adjacent lakeside hotels or private residences. Just to make sure you are aware of this most are fenced off with padlocked gates and the few overzealous ones use a little barbed-wire to keep you off them. The long jump/pole vault option comes into effect for those jetties where the lakeside section has been removed to make them totally inaccessible.

 

This is the first jetty I found that I could actually walk onto without any restrictions but was a good half hour walk south of Malcesine town centre. Taken half an hour after my previous posting just as the sun was beginning to touch the mountain tops on the opposite side of the lake. Just to the left of the jetty can be seen the town of Limone Sul Garda and at the very top of the lake is Riva del Garda.

 

Today, Monday's floral greeting is a little more hidden. There are no trees in full bloom today, nor are there any large-scale flowers. Instead, there are countless small white (wood sorrel) and blue (wood violet) blossoms scattered across this clearing in the Black Forest.

And although they seem so small and inconspicuous from a distance, they are nevertheless beautiful and transform this place into a fairytale forest.

In life, too, we sometimes find it difficult to recognize the beautiful things that are far too often overshadowed by the stress or chaos of daily life. Problems and difficulties are simply much easier to recognize.

But, as is so often the case, it's a question of inner attitude and thus where we direct our attention.

If we consciously seek out these small miracles of everyday life, we will be able to discover them even in the greatest chaos. Be it in nature, in a person we meet or in ourselves. Unfortunately, what we hear and see in the news every day is not particularly conducive to this. To do this, we have to go out and really look (or listen).

And so, this week, I wish you an eye and a heart for the little miracles around you, and that you will discover many of them.

It's much easier for me at this point. Because I have you.

 

Heute kommt der montägliche Blumengruß mal etwas versteckter daher. Es sind heute keine in voller Blüte stehenden Bäume und auch keine Blumen im Großformat. Stattdessen sind es unzählige kleine weiße (Wald Sauerklee) und blaue (Wald Veilchen) Blüten, die sich hier auf dieser Lichtung im Schwarzwald verteilen.

Und obwohl sie so klein und auf diese Entfernung unscheinbar wirken, so sind sie doch wunderschön und verwandeln diesen Ort in einen Märchenwald.

Auch im Leben fällt es uns manchmal schwer die schönen Dinge zu erkennen die viel zu oft vom Stress oder dem Wirrwarr des täglichen Lebens überstrahlt werden. Probleme und Schwierigkeiten sind einfach viel leichter zu erkennen.

Doch wie so oft ist es auch hier eine Frage der inneren Haltung und somit der Frage wohin wir unsere Aufmerksamkeit lenken.

Wenn wir bewusst auf der Suche nach diesen kleinen Wundern des täglichen Lebens sind, dann werden wir in der Lage sein, auch im größten Chaos welche zu entdecken. Sei es in der Natur, in einem Menschen, der uns begnet oder in uns selbst. Leider ist das, was wir tagtäglich in den Nachrichten hören und sehen hierfür nicht sonderlich förderlich. Dafür müssen wir hinaus gehen und wirklich hin sehen (oder hin hören).

Und so wünsche ich Euch für diese Woche einen Blick und ein Herz für die kleinen Wunder um Euch herum und das Ihr viele davon entdecken werdet.

Ich habe es an dieser Stelle deutlich leichter. Denn ich hab ja Euch.

Cats in Crete provide countless iconic images of Greece and Greek Island life - whole calendars are devoted to them, and you can see prints, photographs and paintings depicting felines of all shapes and sizes, cleverly composed against backgrounds of brightly coloured doors, windows and flower pots, or in the arms of children.

 

Many visitors to Greece are struck by the sight of legions of cats roaming the streets, dosing in the sun at archaeological sites (as here), and loitering around tavernas looking for a handout. Seen here is the youngest of several who had made one of the few shaded areas of the Fortezza of Rethymno their haunt that afternoon.

After countless steps, sunrises, and storms, you finally stand before the cathedral — and realize the real journey was never just the miles behind you, but the person you’ve become along the way.

countless waterfalls form the beauty of Iceland's landscapes likes jewels interwoven into rough fabric. This is just one of the many we encountered in one single place near Djupivogur at Iceland's Eastern shores.

They emerge in countless numbers in Spring (see below) and by now have reached their gargantuan size of three inches...these amazing grasshoppers are a common sight around here, and they look to be clad in black leather, still a highly popular style, long after Marlon Brando and his motorcycle gang popularized it in the 1950's movie, 'The Wild One'...and these very slow moving giants are pretty wild, too!

 

See second shot below for one molting...

Lots of starlings repeat every day their fabulous flights near our village.

Of the countless Driftwood Turn trips that I made in an effort to document the Bigs in their last summer, this was one of the more memorable days, as a whole bunch of friends including the Chicago mafia were out, and we didn't suffer any cloud incidents whatsoever. Zach and Max recrewed them south of town, and made sure to lock in a drinkie-poo for later by providing some smoke before we would all converge at Randy's on the River in Olean upon their return.

The lights that adorn the streets of cities with Christian traditions inspire countless fantasies.

 

This photo was taken with a Nikon Z6III camera and a Brightin Star 50mm F0.95 II lens.

 

Obviously, with this maximum aperture of F0.95, the conditions for working in critical light conditions are amazing.

 

As I've explained in previous photos, this lens doesn't have electronic connection pins for exchanging information between the lens and camera. Therefore, the information displayed may be inaccurate.

 

Furthermore, the focus is entirely manual.

 

In other words, total creativity.

Las luces con las que se adornan las calles de las ciudades de tradición cristiana sirven para muchas fantasías.

 

La foto está hecha con un cámara Nikon Z6III y una lente Brightin Star 50mm F0.95 II.

 

Evidentemente con esta máxima apertura de F0.95, las condiciones de trabajar en condiciones críticas de luz son sorprendentes.

 

Como ya he explicado en fotos anteriores, esta lente no tiene pines de conexión electrónica para intercambiar información entre lente y cámara. Por lo que la información que aparece puede ser errónea.

 

Además, el enfoque es totalmente manual.

 

Es decir, creatividad total.

One of countless baroque churches with an onion dome in Bavaria: the Catholic Parish Church of Inningen, built in 1713.

 

When the Baroque church was built, the Gothic church tower of the previous building was retained, but was given an octagonal superstructure with an onion dome, which was clearly influenced by the model of the Basilica of St Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg.

 

Inningen was an agriculture-based community until the 2nd World War. After the war, the village developed into a preferred residential area near the city of Augsburg, which eventually annexed it in 1972.

Scene from Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri

Since I began this McLean County series on March 2 of this year, the name of the Bloomington architect George H. Miller (1856-1927) has been mentioned countless times. Miller was the first architect to practice for any substantial period in Bloomington. He designed many public buildings, churches, office buildings, and private homes in Bloomington and the surrounding area, He also served as Superintendent of U.S. Buildings and designed many federal buildings throughout the midwest.

 

Many of the buildings Miller designed are now listed in the National Register of Historic Places or have achieved local landmark status. Between 1880 and 1910, it can be argued Miller had a greater impact on the appearance of Bloomington than any other single individual. This is particularly true in the period following the Great Fire of 1900 that, in a matter of eight hours, reduced 45 buildings and 4-1/2 blocks in the core of downtown Bloomington to little more than smoking rubble, including the 1868 McLean County Courthouse.

 

Miller's major works in downtown Bloomington that previously been posted in this McLean County, Illinois series includes the Central Fire Station, Chatterton Opera House, Corn Belt Bank Building, Livingston Building, H. J. Higgins & Co. Marble Works (a.k.a. Jung & Kleinau Building), George Brand Building, and the Elder Building.

 

This view shows Miller's house on W. Market St., five blocks northwest of the old McLean County Courthouse. Miller built this home in 1890 three years after his marriage to Rose Stautz, and lived here for the remainder of his life. The house is representative of a grander west side Bloomington home where many wealthier German Americans lived.

 

The Miller House is an eclectic variation on the Queen Anne design. Some have labeled the style as being Victorian Gothic, but the house does not rest well in any formal category. It is in a very real sense an expression of the architect's own personality, eclectic in detail but unified in overall conception.

 

The house features a hexagonal tower on its southeast corner and a conical dormer projecting from the front of the multi-component roof. The front entrance is arched and flanked by columns; small recessed porches are located above the entrance and on the east side of the house. The house also has several stained glass windows. The property was individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 20, 1978.

 

It is disappointing to see how the George H. Miller House has been neglected. It is in need of substantial work to restore it to its historic appearance and, so far at least, I have come across no evidence that this is happening or is planned.

 

Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is home to State Farm Insurance, Country Financial and Beer Nuts. Illinois Wesleyan University is located here, while the neighboring twin city of Normal is home to Illinois State University and Heartland Community College. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.

I want to thank the countless comments here and followers on instagram!

I have been very happy with it ♥

Do not know if you've noticed, but the Vast Majority of my photographs are inspired by the songs of Alanis Morrisette. It is amazing how listening-there makes me so sensitive enough to mount something from the heart.

 

I thought this song suits that picture, after all it was made ​​that inspired.

Apparently, I am easily amused spending countless hours thinking about lights and motion My mornings are spent blowing bubbles, waving my arms and lights around in the dark, and hoping for magic. I've mentioned that I am not one that feels like sitting and meditating does anything for me but the act of creating my photos puts me in a flow state. It is one of the times I can maintain mental focus for a prolonged period of time. What activities help you?

Even though we saw countless scarlet mackaws in Costa Rica, I was having a hard time catching an in-flight shot of one of them...until one day when we went to the beach and a whole flock of them flew by. There were more mackaws than pictured here but they were spread out a little more. Lucky me! The sky was really bland so I jazzed it up with a couple of textures, including Florabella, Distressed, and one of my own.

Ps Lets us clap for the forgotten heroes of the pandemic, delivery drivers, shop workers, the people who decontaminate buildings and work places, the people who deliver food and supplies out of pure kindness, the people who support us and make us laugh.

 

Once again I must say "Take care my friends"

 

“Boundless the leaves roused by spring,

Countless the twigs which tremble in the dawn.

Whether the willow can love or not,

Never a time when it does not dance.

Blown fluff hides white butterflies,

Drooping bands disclose the yellow oriole.

The beauty which shakes a kingdom must reach through all the body:

Who comes only to view the willow's eyebrows? “

But anyone who thinks they have all the time in the world for this kind of photography is mistaken. The light doesn't take a break, it gives and takes everything from you.

A sight that could once be seen countless times a day, an F59PH leading a Metrolink train is now one of the rarest things in Southern California railroading. With all of Metrolink's F59 fleet being retired (and most having holes cut in their prime movers to render them inoperable), the days of the old workhorses being the primary power for the commuter trains are over. However, on rare occasions when the new standard power is in short supply due to servicing, two survivors, F59PHRs 856 and 868, get to turn their wheels again over the rails they once dominated. Here, 856 makes a station stop in Claremont, something it has done countless times in its nearly 30-year life. But this time is different, as before long it will be pulled from service and stored again, uncertain when or if there will be a next time.

"The art installation, written about in countless tourist blogs and periodicals throughout California, is entitled “The Corporate Goddesses” by Muriel Castanis (1926-2006). In April 1985, the twelve goddesses were airlifted to the top of 580 California. Johnson commissioned Castanis to create the statues as a “whimsical flourish” for their postmodern building. She answered with these mysterious, fiberglass figures, a contemporary exploration of classical Greek and Roman sculpture."

One of countless Baroque churches with an onion dome in Bavaria: the former parish church of the village of Pfersee near Augsburg, which has been part of the city since 1911.

 

St. Michael was rebuilt in 1685 on the remains of a medieval church. The octagonal addition to the tower with the onion dome was constructed in 1693 by Hans Georg Mozart, a Baroque master builder and great-granduncle of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose ancestors, including his father Leopold, all originate from the Augsburg region.

 

From 1907 to 1910, a new and much larger parish church, namely the Herz-Jesu Kirche, was built because the population had grown enormously due to industrialization.

Stars

(Robert Frost)

 

How countlessly they congregate

O'er our tumultuous snow,

Which flows in shapes as tall as trees

When wintry winds do blow!--

 

As if with keeness for our fate,

Our faltering few steps on

To white rest, and a place of rest

Invisible at dawn,--

 

And yet with neither love nor hate,

Those stars like some snow-white

Minerva's snow-white marble eyes

Without the gift of sight.

Just one area of countless many more marble walkways and floors that make up the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy.

 

My eye was taken with this once smooth and polished surface, now weather-worn and aged - but in its own way equally as beautiful as when it was first mined, prepared and laid down for those feet to walk upon, almost two thousand years ago.

My countless previous photos never captured the pod details like this one finally did.

 

I can't blame the camera anymore :)

Zo blij dat ik hier een paar maanden geleden was, de ochtend was prachtig met deze lichtval, en dan nog de talloze geluiden van de natuur om je heen deed mij goed......

 

So glad I was here a few months ago, the morning was beautiful with this light, and then the countless sounds of nature around you did me good....

The leather was well-loved, showing signs of countless miles marched through mud and dust, rain and snow. They bore the weight of a soldier's commitment, each scuff and scratch telling a tale of battles fought and hardships endured. The laces, frayed and unevenly worn, had been tied and untied countless times, securing the soldier's foothold on foreign lands far from home.

 

But now, these boots lay silent, their laces left untied, the dust of a distant land clinging to their once-polished surface. The soldier who had worn them with unwavering pride and determination would not be returning to lace them up again.

 

In the quiet moments, when the world outside seemed to pause, these boots served as a poignant reminder of a life interrupted, of a future forever altered. They were more than footwear; they were a symbol of a sacrifice that had reached its culmination, an embodiment of a hero's journey that had come to an untimely end.

Countless photos of my 'nothing spectacular' neighbourhood lakes aren't the result of hoping to get 'a better image this time'. I know my gear (and my skills) limitations.

I simply keep snapping because the lake looks so different each time, as if it's another place. And I'll keep shooting, apologies to those bored :(

Over the years, the question, "will a Union Pacific "Big Boy" ever return to the rails?" has been asked a handful of times. The answer was always no because of some factors. Well, let's jump ahead to 2013 when the Union Pacific announced they are acquiring a "Big Boy" steam locomotive and restore it to operating condition. It was decided that 4014 in Pomona, California will be the locomotive to be restored. In 2014, the locomotive made the trek back home from Pomona to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where for the next five years, the steam team will restore the locomotive.

 

On May 2, 2019, history was made as for the first time in 60-years, an operating "Big Boy" departed Cheyenne, Wyoming under its own power debunking that million dollar question. Special thanks go to Ed and his team for working countless hours on restoring this locomotive that no one would ever think see running again. Seen here, on its first break-in run, Union Pacific "Big Boy" No. 4014 departs Cheyenne westbound after ducking under the C&S bridge into the setting sun.
