London Docklands, still they build office space, despite much of what they build being left empty !.

Although I failed to get a photo of a moose during my trip to Alaska last year, I managed to capture this moment of wildlife encounter with an amoosing mural by Jacob Watts in Chicago's South Loop.

There are subjects that have been photographed thousands of times.
For me, the point is not to show once more what a place looks like,
but how it feels when I connect it with my own imagination.
Stuttgart City Library is a strong piece of architecture,
but in a purely documentary image it becomes interchangeable for me.
It’s the kind of picture you look at for a moment and forget the next day.
For the wall, I am looking for something else:
an interpretation that still inspires years later.
So this is not a classic documentary photograph.
I take the idea of the architecture and push it further –
into a calmer, clearer, futuristic version that still remains believable.
A smartphone could document this space perfectly well.
So why do we walk in with high-end cameras and lenses
only to produce yet another “correct” documentation?
I deliberately photograph in a way that turns a real location into a personal world.
Many architectural images are clean and technically correct – and still interchangeable.
One has a bit more sharpness, another a bit less noise,
but in the end it’s essentially the same picture.
You recognize the building, but not the person, the photographer, the artist behind it.
That’s where such images lose their impact, especially if you want to live with them on your wall.
Do we really want to contribute the ten-thousandth version of the same scene?
Creating your own visual worlds is much more demanding.
There is no template, nothing to copy, no guaranteed formula.
All you have is your inner idea of the place, and everything has to build around that:
colors that work together, light that carries a certain mood,
and the question of what this image is supposed to express.
That’s also why such a style is hard to imitate –
there is no preset for it, only the artist’s handwriting.
It took me a long time to understand this.
For many years I held back my own signature because I thought
photography had to be “correct” first and foremost.
But that way of working makes many images age quickly.
Photography becomes truly interesting when you dare to think a subject further –
not just to document, but to interpret.
That is what interests me today:
revealing the potential of a place, not just its surface.
If this image encourages other photographers to repeat less
and show more of their own signature, it has done its job.
There are far more possibilities than “natural colors” or “black and white”.
Once you allow your inner version of a subject to flow into the picture,
you start creating images you genuinely want to keep for a long time.

don’t worry, that’s me. 😉

The Toorji Ka Jhalra was constructed in the 1740s by the queen-consort of Maharaja Abhay Singh, and features detailed sandstone carvings. Notably, the Jodhpur Stepwell had been buried for years and only recently underwent a restoration to return it to its former glory. The primary function of the structure was to provide a reliable water source during the dry seasons. It also served as a communal gathering point and still does.

A pendant that I've had for a very long time. It's about 1 1/2 inches long. For Macro Mondays: Geometry Shapes and for my POTD.
Oops - I used the wrong tag - it is Geometry Shapes, not Geometric Shapes. Thanks to the admin for fixing it for me!
Marbles for Macro Mondays, borrowed from a friend, placed on a black pizza plate, Villeroy & Boch, series Manufacture Rock. For the light sun, through a metal plate for grilling.
The main challenge, was to place the marbles onto to the plate, somehow equidistant from each other, in a straight line, put no parallel to the lens, to get some dept of field. Last but the grill plate into a magic clamp, adjust the plate for the right hot spot, camera to tripod and take some photos.
If you look carefully, there are different reflections and hot spots on the marbles.
Directly below shot of the steel tower in Shiodome district, Tokyo.
Four corners of the Nippon TV Headquarters building are reinforced with these towers.
The height of the steel tower is approximately 200 meters and each steel pipe has a diameter of 120 centimeters.
The Parish Church of Santa María is situated in Plaza de España the historic centre of Alcoy, Built in the 18th century, its origins date back to the 1200s. The neoclassical style façade features columns and pilasters, with two symmetrical bell towers A large central rose window allows natural light to enter. A central dome over the transept, side chapels between the buttresses and sober decoration are typical of the neoclassical period. The high altarpiece is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The church suffered major damage during the Spanish Civil War and had to be partially rebuilt. It is one of the most significant religious buildings in Alcoy and is still the centre of many religious and cultural celebrations in the city, including the famous Moors and Christians festivities.

I invite you to visit all my photo-gallery. Thanks
In the end, I picked this to enter to the group because I believe that, though it might look simple, it took a lot of knowledge to design the geometric twists and turns to give challenge to those who might dare and have the patience to solve the puzzle.
GROUP: MACRO MONDAYS
THEME: GEOMETRY (GEOMETRIC) SHAPES
SUBJECT: A PUZZLE (THIS IS NOT BW)

captured in the warm afternoon light of inca, this playful assembly from a playground series takes on an abstract art form. the vibrant seats, each a different hue – red, green, blue, and purple – are splattered with sunlight and shadow, creating a lively rhythm across the image. the curving metal line that connects them invites the eye to dance along its path. this image is not just a capture of playground equipment, but a celebration of color, light, and the joyous spirit of childhood spaces. the shadows stretch and bend, adding depth and intrigue, as if the ground itself plays along, echoing the laughter and movement once present here.

captured at the urban intersection of museo de escultura al aire libre in madrid under the causeway Eduardo Dato, where modern architecture meets the flowing lines of sunlight. a solitary man moves through the rigid structures of the city, yet his shadow stretches freely across the ground. the fractured shadow lines and sharp contrasts highlight the scene’s symmetry and dynamism, while the interplay of light and darkness reflects the duality of freedom and confinement in an urban environment.
