Some more views of the Amgen Double Helix Pedestrian Bridge off of Elliot Ave near the Seattle waterfront.
The first few times I only saw this building from far away. Driving in the evening over the highway past Arnhem. After I found out where it actually was situated it still took over a year before I made my first attempt to photograph it. During the day it still was the dull office I had known. But when daylight turns to dawn and the coloured lights on the (students-) apartment building switch on, it becomes a rather interesting subject for a blue hour shot. I love the bright colours and the X- pattern. Especially with its own reflection in a nearby pond.
Enjoy!

Heal's Department Store, London, England
Most photographers in London have seen or even visited the wonderful staircase at the Heal's Department store, the one with the awesome chandelier in the middle of it well this is that same staircase before they renovated it. No chandelier there and looking rather different to what it is now.
Don't get me wrong, I love the new staircase and how it looks now but there is something that I really like about the old staircase, maybe its is honesty and its worn feel or maybe its the fact that it looks slightly uncluttered compared to what it is now, I am just not sure. My favourite part of the staircase within this photo is the darkening on each stair and how each one is unique and different, to me this is part of the character of the staircase.
Which is your favourite, the way it is here or the way it is now? Cast your votes now :-).

When a star like the Sun runs out of fuel, it expands and its outer layers puff off, and then the core of the star shrinks. This phase is known as a "planetary nebula," and astronomers expect our Sun will experience this in about 5 billion years. This Helix Nebula images contains infrared data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope (green and red), optical light from Hubble (orange and blue), ultraviolet from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer (cyan), and Chandra's X-rays (appearing as white) showing the white dwarf star that formed in the center of the nebula. The image is about four light years across.

Here you can see the Helix Nebula. This is a planetary nebula located the constellation Aquarius. The nebula is a remnant of a star which shed its outer layers near the end of its evolution. It is located approximately 695 light-years from Earth, making it one of the nearest and brightest of all of the known planetary nebulae.
This image is a stacked version of 60 one-minute exposures with a Celestron 8-inch Rowe-Ackermann Telescope and an ASI 294mc color camera.

The beautiful curves of a spiral staircase in an abandoned castle in Northern Italy. This was the last location of the recent trip and time was tight with a flight to catch an hour away. Still a nice gentle roam here for 90 mins before heading home, tired but very happy.
Shot with the truly amazing Pentax 645Z.
A strangely twisted and bluish illuminated structure crossing a river, a ship-like but curved object resting on three pillars, a building resembling a white flower.
Few people would have imagined such an architecture a few decades ago.
All of this is reclaimed land. Many Singaporeans told me they remember this being ocean.
As it happens I used the first 2 letters. of my surname. I could have used the first 5, but settled for just 2.
Width about 3 cm.
The Marina bay area is a great place to take photos, I always seem to be drawn there every evening when I'm in Singapore.
This model uses the the bends I posted recently. I like that this looks like a helix even though all the folds are straight lines.
Helix of Becoming conjures a spiral of spiritual and emotional emergence—an energetic architecture of the self in motion. Color becomes current; form becomes frequency. Each twist of pigment and light suggests not a destination, but a process: the ever-evolving act of becoming.
The composition pulses with dualities—chaos and grace, fracture and healing—interlacing like strands of thought or memory spiraling through time. At its core, this work is less a depiction than a meditation: a visualization of inner ascent, of the ineffable journey toward integration.
Rather than charting a fixed truth, Helix of Becoming invites the viewer to locate their own center in its turning—a moment suspended between dissolution and becoming, silence and song. It is not the spiral that moves, but us.

Toronto, ON. A view, from its west side, of Long Wave, by David Rokeby, "a site specific installation that was commissioned by Luminato, Toronto Festival of Arts + Creativity and was on view at the Allen Lambert Galleria, Brookfield Place, Toronto, June 5 - 20, 2009. It is a 380 foot long, 60 foot high sculpture tracing a helix through the entire length of the galleria. The helix is constructed from 63 large red spheres hanging from the Santiago Calatrava designed arches of the galleria, rising from just above visitors' heads right up to the vaults of the ceiling."
One of the highlights of my long Birthday treat weekend in Bilbao, was the stay in the 5* Gran Hotel Domine directly opposite the Guggenheim - which has its own stunning monochrome spiral staircase! Needless to say I took lots of photos of it.
