This is a view down the center aisle of the Marienkirche in Husum, Germany. This church is known as a main work of classicism in Schleswig-Holstein. I think that the B&W conversion adds to the general impression of elevated simplicity.
Living in Chicagoland or as a visitor you inevitably will end up in the clouds...its a Cliche shot but none the less an inspiring view, if your lucky enough to make it on a cloudy day and catch a break with a clearing its quite wonderful...if you get rolling fog banks, then the magic is complete.
You may look at this and say "that's not a bridge", but it actually is the vey end of one. This track is in Parkersburg, WV, and the curve in the distance is the bridge across the Ohio River. It is actually pretty high up over the water, but the slope of hill rises to meet the track at this point.
I also think this is one of those "you had to be there" shots that is more impressive to behold in person than in a picture. I personally found it very compelling to see, though, especially when the train went back and forth several times a day, including a few minutes after I captured this.
' In the brilliant distance he waits. A lonely angel silhouetted in a vanishing world. Immortality cast in granite. Head raised, Eyes flaring. Wings spread out. Rain streaming down his dark jagged tips. Fast flowing rivulets of molten silver. Streaming and colliding. Collecting into pools of eternity at his feet." ~ Prabir C. Purkayastha

A grain elevator abandoned in the southern area of Alberta. Here is some info from Wikipedia:
The elevator was likely built in the 1920s when the CPR line was extended through the area.
At its peak, the site had two grain elevators serving local farmers, handling over 100,000 bushels of wheat per year. The elevators were shut in 1982 when the coal industry in the area dwindled. The elevator owned by the Alberta Wheat Pool was demolished, but the Parrish & Heimbecker grain elevator remains standing.
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a monumental and highly innovative navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal over the River Dee valley in north-east Wales. Completed in 1805, it is a Grade I listed building and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized as a masterpiece of industrial civil engineering.
Key Facts
Location: Trevor, near Wrexham, in North East Wales.
Designers: Chiefly Thomas Telford, with William Jessop as the more experienced supervising canal engineer.
Dimensions: It is the longest and highest aqueduct in the UK:
Length: 1,007 feet (307 meters).
Height: 126 feet (38 meters) above the River Dee.
Width/Depth: The cast-iron trough is 12 feet (3.7 meters) wide and 5.5 feet (1.7 meters) deep.
Structure: The aqueduct consists of 18 hollow stone piers supporting a trough made of cast-iron plates, a pioneering use of iron in structural design.
Construction: The project took ten years to design and build (1795-1805). A notable detail is that the lime mortar used in the masonry contained ox blood, believed to add strength.
Significance
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct was a groundbreaking achievement during the Industrial Revolution, enabling efficient transport of goods like coal, slate, and iron between North East Wales and the English canal network. Its innovative use of cast iron in a bold, high structure set a new standard for transport infrastructure worldwide.
Today, the aqueduct, known as the "stream in the sky", is a major tourist attraction where visitors can walk along the towpath or take a narrow boat trip across, enjoying magnificent views of the Dee Valley.

Hamburg's subway system (underground and elevated) was introduced before the First World War (1912). The viaduct along the harbour front (parallel to "Vorsetzen" street) is perhaps its most picturesque section. To the right, the new Elbphilharmonie (symphony hall) and an old (1940) bunker.

SHOWING YOU BUT a 5% of the celestial dome on that day. The rest was the same. Is somebody trying to turn the sky into a semi-conductor? Or induce magnetic properties? Or is it solely a natural phenomenon. Fast forward two days later, the same time of the day, there's no single trail in the whole clear sky's hemisphere, or perhaps 1-2 at the most.
Exactly 79 years ago the sky was clear too where my grandpa lived. German army was retreating. Mere weeks to go until the final liberation - after four long years of war, famine, occupation, famine, civil conflicts and famine. Then all of a sudden the sky went black and the sound got an ominous low pitch. It took a short hour and two sweeps of the allied B-29 formation's carpet bombing and the town's population was decimated. Among them the three sons of my grandpa, three dear teenage uncles of mine.
The survivors thought at first it must have been a mistake. But soon they heard that many other towns and cities have been bombed too, with many thousands of civilian casualties as well.
Interestingly, the carpet that fell next was a carpet of silence. It fell country wide over this subject that remained taboo for the 40 years to come. Thus circumstantially revealing the makers and accomplices of the 1944+1945 bombing agenda.

A rustic cottage moving up in the world .. this sort of house raising was done to create more space underneath .. to allow more cooling air to circulate up top and in some instances to evade rising flood waters .. a good reason to move up in the world . This one appears to be an historical project in the making .

A brokehn elevator. Stuck at the top. Nothing more, nothing less.
Did not stop me from getting to the top floor. Lights were fading with the sun. And gained intensity with the cars riding the streets of Montreux. Did not stop the stars either. They descended to pay me a quick visit, sneaking under the ceiling through my thoughts.
#Paying my dues to this beautiful and now abandoned place that rythmed my life during the last months.#

With the train, car and pedestrian traffic, Chicago's Lake Street Bridge is always busy. It cuts a great path thru the buildings into the Loop.
I’ve written about the difficulties of following in others photograph footsteps before, and don’t wish to labour this point, but this image has been lurking around my hard drive for some time and unusually keeps pulling me towards it. My real issue here is, that I do really like the image, it has solid composition and it catalyses powerful memories (what else can I ask for!), but I worry that it’s just that bit too obvious. There isn’t much evidence in the shot that I am pushing myself into new and dynamic creative directions and as a troubled artist, my ego seems to need flattering with originality.
Anyway, I post this image as a “I don’t care if its dynamic, but I still like it” attitude. You may mock my lack of deep contemplative creativity (and I’m sure some will criticise with elevated photographic snobbery) but I’m posting it, so that it lets me be.
By the way, if anybody wants to join me and a handful of other enthusiastic participants for a landscape photography workshop, take a look here... (It’s advisable to book early as the recent lovely weather is inspiring others to do so and I only have limited dates and spaces).
