Europe, Netherlands, Utrecht, Utrecht, Centre, Rabobank HQ (slightly cut from L & R)
The neo-modernist glass facade of the HQ (the 'old' part) of the Rabobank (Articon - Fichtinger/Bak, 1983). The blue reflective glass outer layer with its geometric patterns hides the load-bearing part of the facade - stacked and punctured concrete pre-fab slabs.
This is number 898 of the Minimalism/explicit Graphism album.
And number 203 of the Urban Frontiers - since this is the brutalized part of the old centre of Utrecht. During the development of this zone, even traditional waterways (grachten) were filled in and built over - it was a spectacular example of what in the day was called 'city vorming' (city creating). The choices of the time are deplored now and on some spots 'grachten' are being brought back.
The New Merwede River: protection through depolderization
The Netherlands has long been associated with polders, ever since its engineers became renowned for developing techniques to drain wetlands or reclaim land from the sea and make them usable for agriculture and other development. This is well illustrated by the English saying: “God created the world but the Dutch created Holland.” In an unusual project, one of the famous Dutch polders is being handed back to nature. To reduce the risk of flooding on the New Merwede River, water has to flow faster when its level rises. A large-scale ‘depoldering’ project was embarked upon.
Taking place between 2011 and 2015, this project involves creating a floodplain at the ‘Noordwaard’. This is an area covering approximately 4,450 hectares — approximately 6,000 soccer pitches — in the province of Noord Brabant. Part of the Noordwaard will be ‘depolderized’, restructured and transformed into an intertidal area, through which large amounts of river water will flow to the sea.
Work includes the construction of creeks, dikes, mounds, bridges, pumping stations, roads and channels and a range of soil remediation operations. Sustainable solutions are characteristic features of the approach. Cooperation with local residents, businesses and stakeholders has been crucial to the success of this project.
The number of areas with dike protection in the Noordwaard was reduced and a new ‘Green Wave reducing dike’ was built. To spare the local residents from having to look out onto a higher newly-built dike, a 100 meter-wide willow forest was planted on the river side of the dike. Every other year the willows will be pruned back so that the stumps produce shoots which will catch a large part of the wash. By regularly replacing the willows they are expected to be able to absorb up to 80 per cent of the waves’ energy. Farmers and local residents were given the option of staying in the ‘depolderized’ Noordwaard by relocating their houses and some buildings to the tops of mounds to protect them.
The new landscape will be a resting place for birds throughout the year and the combination of the river discharge and the tides will create opportunities for major nature developments that are unique in Western Europe.
This was an idea of my Flickr friend Jim Hill. I already posted two of those images separately and he proposed that it could make a nice triptych if I included a third one with a modern digital look. He saw more in this triptych as well as he noted that the amount of people in the images could stand for the growing accessibility of photography. Kudos to you, Jim!
If you like this triptych, head over to Jim's page and leave him a few likes. If not, head over there all the more and find something you like. His night images from Chicago stand out and are among the most interesting work here on Flickr.
This also concludes my series of images from Corfu. Tomorrow, a series in Frankfurt will start.
Abstracted the forms some, this land soon being developed. Black rock referring to the black lava rock.
How can anyone think this eyesore is an improvement! Whoever decided to have this done wants sacking!
It's that time of the year again. Hiawatha #336 arrives Chicago behind the class Amtrak B32-8WH which is subbing for a Charger that shit out a few days prior. The searchlight installations at the east end of Morgan Street were installed in the early 1980s.
Real estate development has exploded in the West Loop over the past decade. The Fulton Labs on the right were completed last year, and 345 N. Morgan on the left was completed a few months ago (still under construction when this picture was taken). The latter was built by Sterling Bay which is also overseeing the redevelopment of the former ADM flour mill. What you see here is only a fraction of what's to come to the West Loop in the next few years.

Middle East - GCC - United Arab Emirates - UAE - Dubai - Dubai Water Canal - Dubai Creek - Artificial canal with modern sky high buildings with iconic Burj Khalifa - Khalifa Tower - Skyscraper & tallest man-made structure in world at 829.8 m (2,722 ft)
Middle East is not known for its amazing sunsets, but occasionally something spectacular occurs. This cloud with setting sun was perfectly positioned just next to the tallest building in the world - iconic Burj Khalifa.
Timelapse movies had become my new way of capturing my travels besides regular photography. Dubai is a very dynamic city, perfect for timelapse. See for yourself at :

Said Bear found some ribbon and decided it would look better on him than a jam jar. He likes mauve against green. So do I, so harmony prevails.
Bristol Freighter MK21E A81-1
Originally in service with the British Ministry of Supply as G-AIMI, and the RAF as WB482, the aircraft was transferred to the RAAF in April 1949, and upon arrival was re-numbered A81-1 and allotted to the Aircraft Research and Development Unit for testing. In May 1949, the aircraft served briefly with No 34 Squadron before being used to transport troops in July 1949 to relieve the coalfields strike. In May 1950 the aircraft returned to No 34 Squadron, after incorporation of modifications at No 1 Aircraft Depot. In October and December, engine problems caused A81-1 to make forced landings at Woomera and Mallala respectively, but little damage occurred. After major repairs and reconditioning in the second half of 1952, the aircraft was returned to No 34 Squadron, and in May made yet another forced landing at Woomera due to engine problems.
In October 1955, A81-1 was allotted to the Edinburgh Air Trials Unit for use by their Woomera Detachment. In early 1956, the aircraft made two more forced landings at Ceduna and Eyatts Field, with more engine problems, and was serviced at Bristol Co. at Bankstown that November. In March 1957, the aircraft returned to the Air Trials Unit. Further engine problems caused an emergency landing at Mt Isa in January 1958 and an inflight engine fire in May 1958. In June 1960, the aircraft was transferred to No 2 Air Trials Unit, and was stored at Edinburgh from July 1961.
In 1967, the aircraft was sold to Air Express, and subsequently flown to Archerfield for resale to Jetair Australia in August 1969. A81-1 was registered VH-SJG in February 1970, and flew charters until the end of the year, when the aircraft was sold back to Air Express, doing freight runs to Tasmania, Queensland and Papua New Guinea. The aircraft flew its last freight run on 1 July 1978, after which it was sold to Malcolm Long, and ferried to Point Cook for restoration and repainting into RAAF colours. Flown to Coolangatta in 1980, A81-1 was displayed at the Chewing Gum Field Air Museum before being gifted to the RAAF in 1988. Upon its arrival at Point Cook, the aircraft was repainted by members of the 'Friends of the RAAF Museum', and put on static display at the RAAF Museum.

As usual (?) thin negs when using push recipes from The Massive Dev Chart. And yet another lesson showing that "shit in" isn't necessarily "shit out".
The saviour is lith development, as many times before. Split second snatchpoint, however.

Amid overdevelopment along a busy freight and commuter rail corridor, Utah Railway's RUT312 local passes through CP C784 Salt Lake City with 24 cars on Oct. 29, 2022.
I’ve been thinking recently that there is something missing from flickr, (well something that I haven’t found yet). A kind of place (group) that has the ability to inspire, to welcome experimentation, a place that has a lot more depth than the usual shallow resting place for hundreds of images. I want equality, a place that isn’t run by power obsessed admin's, a place that isn’t a all closed network of buddies, a place that welcomes true thought, true learning, true experimentation. I want to visit to contribute, to experiment, to crit others work, to have a balanced group of people that respect others values. I want a place that doesn’t have any irritating insecure people trying to tell you how good they are. Yes I'm wanting a lot and I do get these things from different groups (id say about 3 or 4 that I visit regularly) but I want them all in one place.
To be honest, I would like to cherry pick the people I value (for many reasons) and get them together and create a new group that would be fantastic. But I also don’t want to upset anybody…and god not another group, please no not more groups.
I also have been wondering if there isn’t a better way of developing ideas, sparking inspiration. For me I would love to get more involved in a discussion-based group concerning the ideas behind photography. Kind of the deeper physiological elements to why we take photos, what the viewer feels, presenting challenging concepts, blar blar blar. I feel that to push in these directions is fascinating. As some of you may have observed, I've been trying to get this type of thing going in the threads of some groups, but it doest seem to be working. What I'm asking here I suppose is does anybody know of any groups that offer this type of thing or do I have to set one up, or do I try and push one of the groups I'm involved in into this direction? Also I wonder if there is any others out there, who are committed enough and have the desire to challenge them selves, push themselves in different directions. I only know of a few people here on flicker that I ‘Guess’ would welcome this type of direction but id truly love to meet more. This isn’t about just image quality (that is a given) its about ideas, experimentation, forging new ground (if that’s possible)
Anyway, any thoughts out there?
Note: this is taken on Constantine beach at sunset this summer. I got down very low and used a polarizer to maintain the foreground leading lines. Anyway I hope you like it.
