....Consequently too much of the work is merely about the technology. The HDR and QTVR fads are good examples. Instead of focusing on the subject, users obsess over RAW conversion, Photoshop plug-ins, and on and on. For good work to develop the technology needs to become as stable and functional as a typewriter :-)

View from the Sedrun multi functional station inside the Gotthard base tunnel.
The exit of the tunnel in this direction is 20 km away, in the other direction it is even 37 km away.
By chance I had the opportunity to visit the tunnel through the SBB gottardino program. Once the tunnel goes into full operation in December 2016, it will no longer be possible for the public to have such a close look.
This is my first image posted using my new Z8. While somewhat smaller than the Z9, the Z8 retains the majority of the functionality of its "big brother." This is also the first image I have posted from my new backyard shooting gallery. I'm still able to get creamy backgrounds while getting closer to my subjects without spooking them. Fun!

Ciamis West Java .
a famous bridge and border between ciamis and tasikmalaya district , it was functional bridge since the upper side is for train and the below side is for cars and motor bike
A hospital ward, could be anywhere I would think. It is functional too, as long as you know what kind of functions are included or excluded. Is a "sense of beauty" functional? Is a piece of art included in the functions offered by a hospital? A flower perhaps? Small things can make a big difference. Most important is the other thing one cannot see in this picture - the humanity of the hospital staff and the person-to-person contact between nurses, doctors and patients. Whatever the architecture.

Excerpt from www.tourstcatharines.com/tours-wellandave.shtml:
17 Welland Avenue: Memorial School was the neighbourhood school from 1919 until it was closed in 2015. It is a typical one storey red brick public school with a symmetrical façade. The style is Modern Classicism which used classic details such as pediments and pilasters to decorate modern buildings which were required to be simple and functional.
Two Mississippi style pleasure boats on The Thames. I suspect that the rear paddles are decorative rather than functional.
Der niederländische Architekt Jacobus Johannes Pieter Oud gehörte zur Gruppe ausgewählter Architekten, welche für Entwürfe der Weissenhofsiedlung angefragt wurden. Anfänglich erhielt J.J.P. Oud zwei separate Aufträge, welche den Bau einer freistehenden Villa und vier Reihenhäuser für Arbeiter vorsahen. Nach seiner Intervention wurde ihm stattdessen der Bau von 5 Reihenhäusern zugestanden. In seinem Entwurf verfolgt J.J.P. Oud das Ziel, eine kleine Wohnung als Synthese neuer Materialien, Konstruktionsmethoden und Formen zu entwerfen. Der Entwurf orientierte sich dabei an den Prinzipien der Einfachheit, Effizienz und Funktionalität. Der Entwurf für die Weissenhofsiedlung war als Typologie zur wiederholenden Anwendung gedacht. Zumal aber in der Weissenhofsiedlung lediglich eine Reihe errichtet wurde, lässt sich die Konzeption von J.J.P. Oud nur bedingt nachvollziehen. Nach seiner Vorstellung wären die Reihen so repetiert worden, dass die Gärten einer Reihe auf den Küchenhof der nächsten Reihe treffen würde.
Die fünf aneinander gereihten Häuser wurden in Stahlbeton nach dem Kossel-System erbaut. Das Kossel-System war in den 1920er Jahre neu, und erlaubte die monolithische Bauweise. Die Materialpalette wird erweitert durch Metall für Fenster- und Türrähmen, Ruberiod für das Flachdach und Sperrholz für die Türen.
The Dutch architect Jacobus Johannes Pieter Oud was one of the group of selected architects who were asked to design buildings for the Weissenhofsiedlung. Initially, J.J.P. Oud received two separate commissions, which included the construction of a detached villa and four terraced houses for workers. After his intervention, he was allowed to build 5 terraced houses instead. In his design, J.J.P. Oud persued the goal of designing a small apartment as a synthesis of new materials, construction methods and shapes. The design was based on the principles of simplicity, efficiency and functionality. The design for the Weissenhofsiedlung was intended as a typology for repeated use. Especially since only one row was built in the Weissenhofsiedlung, the concept of J.J.P. Oud only partially understandable. In his mind the rows would have been repeated so that the gardens of one row would meet the kitchen courtyard of the next row.
The five row houses were built in reinforced concrete according to the Kossel system. The Kossel system was new in the 1920s and allowed a monolithic construction. The range of materials is expanded to include metal for window and door frames, ruberiod for the flat roof and plywood for the doors.

Less than three months after emerging from the assembly plant in La Grange, Illinois, a Union Pacific a SD40-2 glides through North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on June 16, 1979.

Loulé is a traditional Portuguese market town and one of the most popular day trip destinations of the central Algarve region. It’s boastful and characterful historic centre, lively market and traditional Portuguese atmosphere attracts visitors year on year keeping the small town alive.
Portugal is one of the few remaining European countries that still operates functional produce markets. The focal point of Loulé is the Arabic inspired market, with outdoor and indoor stall selling local produce, fresh fish and regional handicrafts. The market is surrounded with busy shopping streets and a warren of medieval alleys and beautiful traditional houses that make for a great day out.
Loule Market is open Mon- Saturday from 7am to 3pm. The best time to visit Loule is on a Saturday morning [...] when the daily market expands to include a farmer’s market which spills onto the surrounding streets with fresh local produce. It is worth getting there early as many of the fresh food and fish stalls will start to pack up as soon as their produce is sold. Google

This is the gondola link from Greenwich on the south of the Thames across the river. It is functional but also a tourist attraction.
Sciacca's biggest industry is fishing and the town's fishing harbour is large and functional rather than picturesque. Around 500 boats are based here. The port can be reached down a road or flights of steps from the main part of town, which is perched up above. Although it isn't picture-postcard pretty, the harbour offers a chance to see a real working fishing industry, get views back towards the town, and to enjoy incredibly fresh seafood at one of the restaurants in this part of Sciacca.
just have these dusty pencils with metal framed erasers on it ... (the only color was the blue of the metal parts, there was no desaturation of other colors)
I really liked the moment that I captured watching that Great Blue Heron hunting late at night... I always wonder how can they see? Especially hunting those bushes. In the third picture the Great Blue Heron catches a tiny little crab... a lot of work for such a little prize. I did not have much hope that I would be able to publish any of these images because of the high ISO I had to set on my camera. Images ISO ranges from ISO 5,000 all the way up to ISO 20,000. Topaz Denoise AI came to the rescue to a certain extend. But then Jarek S. "Jerry" www.flickr.com/photos/162376953@N04/ told me about the new product that Topaz has released, Topaz Studio 2 which includes several filters including Clear AI which deals essentially with the noise ... I gave it a try and reprocessed all the pictures of this series with the new version of the Topaz product. In my opinion it is even better than Denoise. I purposely left all the file formats available (including extra large display) for those interested in looking at the performance depending on the compression. The noise handling is pretty good in some cases all the way up to extra large format... In that series, the Great Blue Heron continued to hunt even in the dark. I have shots taken at ISO 20,000 and they are still usable, especially if you post your images in a 2048 x 1365 format, something that many Flickr subscribers do. Can you guess which images of this series has a ISO of 12,800.
PS I only used the Clear AI filter software in its auto mode but the software offers a much greater functionality.
Many Thanks to Jarek for sharing one of his secrets of his wonderful photography....now I have to continue to dig in for more of his other secrets :) Have a look at his photostream when you have a minute... it is great
Taken for Saturday Self Challenge 19/03/2022 - Decorative .
First thought for this was the upper window in a big posh house , however , Jan did mention railways and they are always good for some embellishment on the older architecture . Here on this station the pillar supports to the station canopy are functional but on the load spreading supports at the top are quite decorative . I first tried a compressed view on platform two but not happy as I clipped the top a bit too tight plus a gutter got in the way from whichever end I took the shot . Platform one one the other hand presented a clear shot of the whole line of pillars with their elaborate top sections .
Also in shot is a passenger waiting on a seat , not sure about how he looks , but then this is the London platform - not a place to look forward to visiting as far as I am concerned .
