Thanks guys for the spontaneous fun shoot :-D
The Empire State Building and food vendors seen on a side street are an iconic sight in midtown Manhattan.
The Flying Scotsman crossing the Forth Rail Bridge. Its not often that 2 icons of British Engineering come together like this.
I'll bet these are two of the most photographed building in the Old Town area of Stockholm. This is my version. Severely straightened and processed with textures.

Hagia Sophia, Istanbul.
Hagia Sophia is a former Christian patriarchal basilica, which later became an imperial mosque and now a museum. One of the world's most iconic buildings.

28/08 One of Budapest's many iconic views - the Royal Palace of Buda as seen from the Liberty bridge
Budapest, Hungary
Almost abstract crop on a '41 Packard 120 Nose. Very oblique light exaggerates the shades.

Vintage, rustic-style entrance sign on Highway 61 at Gooseberry Falls State Park. This sign is one of my earliest memories of the North Shore.
The park is located in Castle Danger, about ten miles north of Two Harbors, Minnesota on the North Shore of Lake Superior. It is one of Minnesota's most popular and treasured state parks.
It was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the late 1930's/early 1940's as part of the New Deal getting men back to work during the Great Depression. There are several awesome historic buildings here along with lots of trails, many feet of rocky Lake Superior shoreline, a campground (book a year ahead of time for summer camping!), an awesome picnic area with CCC-built tables still in place and lots more.
It's a "must stop" place if you are going anywhere on the North Shore.
It was good to finally re-visit Middlesbrough, a place I last called at almost 47 years ago in 1976. Of course no surprise the industrial landscape and dockyard backdrop of the 1970s was somewhat different this time around.
At the time of the first visit my knowledge of the area was as good as non-existent, so this view featuring the Transporter Bridge as a backdrop to the railway wasn't on the 'shots to be done' list - but then again nor were any others.
This time around I made no mistake, did my homework, and happily made the 0.6 mile or so walk from the station in gloriously good weather to what is presumably called Metz Bridge for the classic shot. Luckily a freight was running too and this image features DRS 'Shed' 66108 hauling the 11.29am Redcar BSC - Doncaster Up Decoy (6D73) engineers' train. Thus the icon was finally captured - and I don't mean the 'Shed'.

The wonderful iconic Wellington Cable Car. The sky was a fabulous colour but I decided to try and do selective colour process to show off the car.
Port-en-Bessin (France) - Ce marin-pêcheur amarre son coquillard au quai. Dans quelques instants, la cargaison de coquilles-saint-jacques sera débarquée.
Pour compléter la série faite de plans larges de navires qui passent l’écluse après une nuit passée à racler les fonds marins, place à un plan plus serré d’un marin-pêcheur.
Ces professionnels de la mer font un métier difficile, très physique. Ils sont engagés dans une lutte incessante contre les éléments, souvent au péril de leur vie.
Cependant, contrairement à une idée largement répandue, ils gagnent très bien leur vie ; du capitaine au mousse. L’organisation à bord est collective et tous les membres d’équipage touchent un pourcentage sur les ventes. L’image iconique du marin attiré par une insatiable soif de l’aventure n’est plus ce qu’elle était.
Port-en-Bessin (France) - This fisherman moors his coquillard to the quay. In a few moments, the cargo of scallops will be unloaded.
Following wide shots of ships returning to port after a night spent scraping the seabed, a closer shot of a fisherman was essential.
Fishermen certainly have a difficult and very physical job. They are engaged in an incessant struggle against the elements, often at the risk of their lives.
However, contrary to a very widely held idea, they earn a very good living; from captain to ship's boy. The organization on board is collective and all crew members receive a percentage of the catch. The iconic image of the sailor drawn by an insatiable thirst for adventure is no longer what it used to be.

Cannot upload something new these days. Here’s an old pic of the classic view of Manarola, Liguria, Italy. Another attempt to present this incredible and cute town in the twilight of the spring evening. Zenith MC Zenitar-C Canon 16 mm F/2.8 Fisheye
Thank you for all the comments and faves, my friends.

Durdle Door is one of Dorset’s most photographed and iconic landmarks. It is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and is an extremely popular beauty spot.
It is located on the Lulworth Estate in south Dorset and is part of the Jurassic Coast. The coastline is of such international geological importance that it was designated England’s first natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001 and is now part of a family of natural wonders including America’s Grand Canyon and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
The magnificent natural limestone arch was formed when the power of the waves eroded the rock and forged a hole through the middle. The name Durdle is derived from an old English word ‘thirl’, which means to pierce, bore or drill.

Built in 1974, the sign became known as the “gateway to the Cross”, featuring on music videos, TV, famous photographs and as a landmark meeting point.
Considered the largest billboard in the Southern Hemisphere at 41 metres long and 13 metres high, the sign is comprised of two sides – the right being the traditional red and white Coca-Cola sign and the left being a flex-faced sign that’s used to display the latest Coke campaigns.
