The main reason of existence for the yard of Clabecq is steel. NLMK is still active on site and Lineas brings in steel from Gent and La Louvière. Cow and calf Cockerill shunters take the heavy loads into the factory on 26/04/2021.

If the existence of a Berlin Wall memorial in Rapid City seems random, well, that’s mostly because it is. There was no particular motivation for bringing a piece of the wall to the city, other than a whim, according to the man who made it happen. “It was just a neat thing for us to have out here,” 81-year-old Dale Clement recalled this week. The pieces of the wall were installed in Memorial Park in 1996. Its roots lie in a mid-1990s traveling Berlin Wall exhibit that came to the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology. Clement, who was then an executive at Black Hills Corp., played host to a man who was associated with the exhibit. After the exhibit, Clement took a call from Gale Holbrook, who was then a Pennington County commissioner. Holbrook suggested that since the traveling exhibit had been so successful, perhaps Clement should buy a piece of the wall for permanent display in Rapid City. Clement called his contact with the traveling exhibit, and soon he was the owner of a Berlin Wall segment and a pair of tank traps. The purchase price, he recalls, was a few thousand dollars. Others soon joined the effort to display the newly acquired items, including Paul Reinke, who was an early partner in the project with Clement. The privately financed memorial was erected with interpretive panels and eventually turned over to city ownership. And that’s how Rapid City’s Berlin Wall Memorial came to stand in Memorial Park near the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. Clement said it’s a fitting place for a tribute to freedom, given Rapid City’s proximity to the Shrine of Democracy (Mount Rushmore) and also to Ellsworth Air Force Base, which contributed bombers to the 1940s Berlin Airlift humanitarian mission. Clement said it is freedom he will think about this weekend on the 25th anniversary of the Berlin Wall’s collapse. “You can tie people up,” Clement said, “but they also have to come free at some time.”

Many segments of the Berlin Wall have been given to various institutions since its fall on November 9, 1989. Segments are occasionally moved, so locations shown may not be current in all cases.

Existence is the silent killer. Really and truly. Every single photo description over the last four weeks I have said that i was feeling like a blob and just meh. I know why. I have no passion, no joy, none of the zest for life that I usually have. I am not unhappy, but I have lost my "carpe diem" attitude somewhere along the way. I need to get it back- I need to get back to me.
Something simple this week. Sorry I'm not very talkative.
I am fond of the idea that you can be casually strolling along a sandy beach and unknowingly be a part of an artistic moment of creativity/beauty/whathaveyou. In short, every moment we exist is a moment we are participating in something outside of ourselves, or larger than ourselves, whether we are aware of it or not.

Parallel existences momentarily splitting and then merging again. Maybe I am over thinking this!

“It isn't by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.”
― Ken Kesey
Archaeological excavations carried out in Basilicata, near Anglona and near Policoro, have brought to light numerous works currently kept in the National Archaeological Museum of Siritide, ascertaining the existence of settlements dating back to the 3000 B.C. the inhabitants of these areas were called Enotri, in particular however the inhabitants of the area between the rivers Sinni and Agri, were called cones. Since the VIII century B.C., on the Ionic coast, by the hand of the
Greeks from Ionia, were founded the city of Siris, Heraclea, Metaponto and Pandosia. Siris is believed founded at the beginning of the VII century B.C. by the peoples of the Epirus, destroyed from Sibari and Crotone in the VI century B.C., from its ruins rose Heraclea between 443 b.c. and 430 B.C. in the IX century the city is mentioned under the name of Polychorium and in 1126 in an act of donation to the monastery of coal, it displays the current name of Policoro. Pandosia, that bordered with Heraclea, is considered the most ancient pagan city of Siritide. Founded of Enotri before 1000 b.C., was very rich and important thanks to the fertility of the soil and the strategic location. Until the middle of the XIX century was a center populated and important, guardian of traditions and the thruster of culture.
The Rabatana became a tourist destination especially for track of the poet Albino Pierro, which has made the Rabatana the source of inspiration of his poetry. In Rabatana you can retrace the narrow streets of the ruins of the primordial core and visit the remains of the ancient houses, often only one compartment on the ground floor. Pandosia was destroyed between the 81 BC and 72 BC by Lucius Cornelius Silla Roman general. From the ruins of Pandosia arose, shortly before the Christian era, Anglona town once flourishing. In 410 the Visigoths of Alaric I sacked and semidistrussero Anglona. To check the surrounding territory built a castle on a hill halfway between the Agri and Sinni rivers. The surviving residents of the city of Anglona took refuge around the castle giving rise to Rabatana, first village populated by Tursi.
Exploring some new photo locations. This was snapped at Sol Existence; and I'm going to be a frequent visitor :-) Fly birdies!
my first step of this year is that go straight my goal, consequentially keep the reflection of life stably.
maybe it's too abstract to understand, but there are several things request - I'm 100% sure what I'm doing, what I'm talking, and make mistakes less and less.
wish you a gorgeous year and have full of inspirations of photography.
happy new year. *grin*
Somehow, I'd completely missed the very existence of Tamar Park the first time I visited Hong Kong. Feeling a bit stupid when I saw pictures of it when I returned home, I made sure it was on my second list.
Its a funny space- it's a large space that doesn't feel large. Made of smaller, oddly-shaped sections, I'm not sure that all that much of the space can be used.
What you're missing: Right next to me where a young couple that could not keep their hands off each other.
I'M RIGHT HERE GUYS. (Thank goodness people generally don't appear in long exposure photography)

Hong Kong! Again! After the first time not working out so well (mostly due to my condition) me and my best friend Michael returned to do the bits we missed out on and generally have a few different experiences than before.

I completely forgot existence of this observation deck. It is several years since having come last. It was suggested that I photograph the Shinkansen here by a friend, but, in the case of my photography method, it is necessary for the Shinkansen to stop here for several seconds.
On October 14, 2014 in Hoku-Topia observation deck, Kita ward.

僕はここの存在をすっかり忘れていました。 訪れたのは数年ぶりです。 友人にここで新幹線の撮影を勧められたのですが、僕の撮影方法の場合、新幹線はここで数秒停止する必要があります。
