"Arctic Horizon" - next photo from my exhibition!

In June 2017 I hiked Iceland for 2 weeks. The backpack was about 30 Kg and it was a very demanding tour.
But these locations and views are really worth the effort!
View from Sveinstindur towards lake Langisjór.

Zwei Wochen bin ich im Juni 2017 mit Martin Hülle Fotografie auf Island gewandert. Der Rucksack wog über 30 kg,
und diese Tour hatte es in sich. Belohnt wurde
ich mit Ausblicken wie diesem:
Blick vom Berg Sveinstindur auf den See Langisjór.

Reposting an old, re-edited photo! I love this one so much! It's from House on the Rock in Wisconsin. That place was so much friggen fun!
A shot taken as part of a wee home project I have been working on for some time, this has involved putting together a DIY water drop kit.
No electronic timers, just hand to eye co-ordination.

The Adelaide Zoo's male Sumatran Tiger has a beautiful glass infinity pool in his enclosure. Alas he made his way down the path past the pool all too quickly to grab his lunch and disappear into the undergrowth.

The Infinity Bridge is a public pedestrian and cycle footbridge across the River Tees in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees in the north-east of England. The bridge is situated one kilometre downriver of Stockton town centre, between the Princess of Wales Bridge and the Tees Barrage and it links the Teesdale Business Park and the University of Durham's Queen's Campus in Thornaby-on-Tees on the south bank of the Tees with the Tees Valley Regeneration's £320 million North Shore development on the north bank.

The Infinity Bridge is a public pedestrian and cycle footbridge across the River Tees in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees in the north east of England. The bridge is situated one kilometre downriver of Stockton town centre, between the Princess of Wales Bridge and the Tees Barrage and it links the Teesdale Business Park and the University of Durham's Queen's Campus in Thornaby-on-Tees on the south bank of the Tees with the Tees Valley Regeneration's £320 million North Shore development on the north bank.
Built at a cost of £15 million with funding from Stockton Borough Council, English Partnerships and its successor body the Homes and Communities Agency, One NorthEast, and the European Regional Development Fund the bridge is a major part of the North Shore Redevelopment Project undertaken by Tees Valley Regeneration.
The bridge had the project title North Shore Footbridge before being given its official name Infinity Bridge, chosen by a panel made from the funding bodies, using names suggested by the public. The name derives from the infinity symbol formed by the bridge and its reflection.
A special feature is made of the way the bridge is lit at night. This lighting scheme was designed by Speirs and Major Associates who also designed the lighting for the Burj Al-Arab. At night the bridge handrail and footway are lit with designer blue and white LED lighting built into the handrail that changes colour as users cross. Attached to the steel cable ties are white metal-halide up-lighters to illuminate the white painted bridge arches, and blue LED down-lighters to illuminate the water and ground surfaces immediately below the deck.At night from certain viewing angles when the river surface is flat calm, the twin arches together with their reflection in the river appear as an infinity symbol ∞, and it is this effect that inspired its name.
At the start of construction a temporary jetty was built on the south bank to enable the building of a cofferdam for the safe construction of the central pier. In April 2008 the supporting legs were added to the central pier.Steel falsework was constructed in the cofferdam by Dorman Long[ to support the ends of both incomplete arches as they cantilevered over the river during construction. The first steel arch made from four pieces of fabricated steel welded together, was put in place in June 2008 and was later used to stabilise the cantilevering lower portions of the main arch using a strand-jack and tie cable between the top of the small arch and the large arch and then to reduce sway stress during its progressive construction of the large arch.
The final section of the main arch came in four pieces which were welded together on site and on 5 September 2008 all 170 tonnes of it was lifted into place by a 1,500 tonne mobile crane, the largest in the country. The crane, a Gottwald AK680 owned by Sarens UK is based in nearby Middlesbrough. The crane is 80 metres (262 ft) high with a maximum of 1200 tonnes of superlift, requires 45 transport wagons to move it,and takes three days to set up using a 100 tonne crane.
The concrete deck panels were cast on site using three steel moulds in temporary sheds in a construction compound on the north bank of the river. Using a short temporary jetty on the north bank the deck panels were floated out on a small barge and jacked into position working progressively away from the river pier. The concrete deck sections are held together by steel welds and adhesive.
The footbridge was completed on time and to budget in December 2008 with 530 workers and uses in total some 450 tonnes of Corus steel,1.5 km of locked coil steel cable, 780 lights, 5,472 bolts and weighs 1040 tons. Almost all labour, materials and components were sourced locally.
The bridge was officially opened on 14 May 2009 with celebrations including a sound, light and animation show, parkour freerunners who climbed the bridge arches with flares, and a specially composed music track and synchronised pyrotechnics from the bridge itself with big screens for the estimated audience of 20,000 spectators along the banks. The bridge was opened to the public two days later. Foot traffic is anticipated to rise to some four thousand people a day as the North Shore site develops.
The bridge won the Institution of Structural Engineers' Supreme Award for Structural Excellence 2009,] the premier structural engineering award in the UK. It also won in its own category of Pedestrian Bridges. The other awards the bridge has won include the Structural Steel Design Award 2010,] the Concrete Society Civil Engineering Award 2009, the ICE Robert Stephenson Award 2009, the North East Constructing Excellence Awards 'Project of the Year',and the Green Apple Award for the environment.

This MOC is a version of the work 'Mundo interior' by artist Gustavo Torner (Cuenca [Spain], 1925) that can be seen at the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español.
At this link you can see the original work.
For this MOC I wanted to be faithful to the original work but also make something different.
To achieve the first I had to dig into my part selection in order to get the shape right.
To achieve the second I did not join the exterior part with the interior one, to get a somewhat different meaning for this creation.
This have been a strange MOC to make, so I really hope you like it.
This image is my latest creation of a jetty on Botany Bay Sydney, This was my attempt at creating an image that captured some mood of floating - of distance - of infinity.
Captured on my Nikon 810 and Processed in PS CC using some different strategies.
