Macro of bathroom window glazing. I only had to take down the highlights a tad. The macro brings out all the details of the pattern. Looks really strange doesn't it? Looks very different in summer months when the colour of the trees outside can be seen. check this one out

I was going to use this composition for an arriving Pendolino but chose instead to use it for the 10.18am Carlisle N.Y. - Tees Dock BSC Export Berth (6E97), which just happened to get a signal check across on the Up platform. DB Cargo Shed 66171 is in charge.
The location is Carlisle and I couldn't let the elegant vertically framed glazing go to waste. Known as Citadel station in British Railways days (and probably still referred to that way by some locals) the architecture sure does the label justice. Perhaps not surprisingly the station was given Grade II Listed status as far back as 1972.

I'm a bit behind so commenting is off for this one. Looks better full screen, and where the unexpected pigeon is more easily spotted!

This set of crockery is 35yrs old and has developed cracks in the glazing in just this one plate! I think we are lucky.
#macromondays #star
I got exited about the upcoming #MacroMondays Theme called star. I had some ideas in mind with my little helpers. But as i started to shoot a new idea just popped up and i switched the setup to the one you see here. As there are stars and some real tiny glassbottles i thought i name it star glazing :)
Thank you for visits, comments and favs!

Sun + Reflection in the River Scheldt on the Right, Reflection in the Double Glazing of the Window on the Left.
The magic aspect of this photo is the IMPOSSIBLE ANGLE of shooting as a result of which the reflection of the sun came inside the Double Glazing of the window.
NO PHOTOSHOP - NO OPTICAL ILLUSION - NO MANUPULATION - NO TRICKS
Genuine photo in every aspect

glass bead from Murano, In its reflections I see all the colors of that unforgettable day on Murano, the island near Venice famous for glassmaking. Blue sky, blue sea... HMM!

Sandstone cave window. This is on the path behind my Dads house, I rarely walk there but the bluebells led me that way! (More to follow)

The Great Court of the British Museum, Foster and Partners, 2000.
The Great Court is the largest covered square in Europe. The glass and steel roof is made up of 4,878 unique steel members connected at 1,566 unique nodes and 1,656 pairs of glass windowpanes making up 6,100 m2 of glazing; each has to be a unique shape because of the curving nature of the roof.
Glazing in the trees and sections of the river freezing over as well. Captured while hiking around in Gunpowder Falls State Park.
One of Melbourne's tall city buildings (taken from the station platform of Southern Cross station while waiting for a train) catching some reflected afternoon light - with a little sliding goodness thrown in.
Happy Slider Sunday!

Created for Skagitrenée for her birthday, Dec 27.
Renée is the 'silent partner' that is the rock and foundation of the 'Totality of Reality' and "PANO-Vision" groups run by Maestro Paul Ewing and myself. She's our 'go to' when we need to make technical changes that neither of us know how to do. She is, as well, a sober and crystal clear voice of wisdom and experience. When the boys get a little rambunctious, she calms us down with her insight and honesty.
Renée has often shied away from birthday images, preferring to let the day pass unnoticed. She has done so much for Paul and I that this year we were not going to let another birthday get by us. I thought that an image honouring her love of flowers and plants would be the best way for me to homage her.
So here you are, Renée !!! Created and designed with you, very particularly, in mind. A VERY HAPPY Birthday !!!!!!

Pano-Sabotage shots of plants and flowers, most from the same location, but from different angles. These were blended with a few straight floral shots with stellated mirroring and layering of translucencies ( "glazing" ) added.
This is the last image of 2018. A birthday image in thanks to a very important person is a fine way to close up the year. :-)

The Zeche Zollern II/IV (translated: Zollern II/IV Colliery) is located in the northwestern suburb of Bövinghausen of Dortmund, Germany. The Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG projected Zollern in 1898 as a model colliery.
Ground up construction began in 1898 on a new site. Most of the buildings of the colliery were built in solid brickwork by the architect Paul Knobbe and were completed in 1904 with the central engine house, in which the most up-to-date generators and machinery used in the colliery were housed. The architecture and state-of-the-art technology support the transition of Gothic-revival to Art Nouveau and the industrialization of the early 1900s.
Due to deadline pressure, the central engine house was built in iron framework construction with infilling of red brickwork, planned and executed by the Gutehoffnungshütte. The Art Nouveau styled main entrance was designed by the Berlin architect Bruno Möhring, it shows a lead glazing of blue, green and-glass. Counterpart of the main entrance is the big control board of polished marble in brass mounting, with a brass clock hanging from above.
Other buildings on the site include administration bureaus, blacksmith's shop and carpenter's shop, first-aid and fire station with stable, pithead baths, tools store and the central gateway.
In 1969, three years after it closed down, the colliery was recognized as Germany's first technical building monument of international importance. Since 1981, it has been the headquarters of the Westphalian Industrial Museum.
The original pit frames had been scrapped before 1969, two similar constructions from other collieries were reconstructed on this site in the 1980s.
The museum is an anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage.

This week for Macro Mondays the theme is imperfections, this little ceramic scent pot has several imperfections, dust, fibers, light glaring in reflection just name a few. It happens to all so why not show case the problems of doing a macro! 2" x 2" or 50mm by 50mm.
A male Sparrowhawk flushed all the birds into a bush when he arrived in my garden. He was very patient, but eventually left hungry. Taken through double glazing. 19/08/12
A very hasty shot of the squirrel from indoors looking through double glazing . The squirrel had been scurrying about looking for anything to eat , on the patio there are loads of whirrly bird seeds from the field maple . This was about the only shot before he was off on his toes again !!
A quick suitable tune to go with this capture !!
Low air temperature while the big freshwater lake Vättern is still open, often result in ice sculptures like this.
The sun is low and gives the reddish teint.
A frozen soap bubble (siting on a snow paddy) with reflection on black spandrel glazing. I was intrigued by the subtle differences between the actual bubble and its reflection; almost like an alternate reality.
A little inspiration from the FlickrFriday theme, along with the temperature once again getting cold enough.

Regno Unito, Londra, The Gherkin (From Vertigo 42), Estate 2012
The Gherkin (il cetriolo) è il popolare soprannome del grattacielo inaugurato nel 2004 a No.30 St Mary Axe. La strada prende il nome dalla vicina chiesa di St Mary Axe ('axe' fa riferimento a una reliquia conservata nella chiesa). La “pelle” dell'edificio è a doppio vetro e lo spazio tra il vetro è ventilato per aiutare con controllo della temperatura e riduzione del consumo energetico. Si dice che il Gherkin utilizzi solo la metà dell'energia rispetto ad edifici simili. La maggior parte delle lastre di vetro sono completamente piatte e l'unico vetro curvo è la 'lente' in cima. Ogni piano è stato ruotato di 5 gradi rispetto al piano di sotto. La parte superiore della torre è stato mantenuta come uno spazio aperto in modo da poter avere una visuale a 360 gradi.
The Gherkin is the popular nickname for the office block opened in 2004 at No.30 St Mary Axe. The road is named after the nearby Church of St Mary Axe (the 'axe' part referring to a relic kept in the church). The skin of the building is double-glazed and the space between the glazing is ventilated to help with temperature control and reducing energy use. The Gherkin is said to use only half the energy of similar sized office towers. Most of the panes of glass are completely flat - the only curved glass is the 'lens' at the very top. Each floor has been rotated 5 degrees relative to the floor below. The top of the tower has been kept as an open space to give an uninterrupted, all-round view.
