Landscaped Infrastructure 2018 by Dan Bergeron with Gabriel Specter: “I painted that mural with my friend Gabriel Specter. We like to paint murals that are site-specific, meaning we want to think about the location where the mural is going to exist, the history of the site and its possible future uses. We looked at the site, but we realized there wasn’t necessarily a lot there. It’s an overpass train bridge. There are a lot of businesses, some more industrial-type businesses with warehouses.
So, we did some research and we found this house, the Senator Frank O’Connor, who was born in 1885 and died in 1939. His house is still there.
We’re really interested in painting things that are not necessarily obvious right off the bat. We want the viewer to have to look at it to figure out what’s going on. So we used these geometric shapes to break the image up. It’s kind of two different puzzles that we put together."

Another twilight shot of the interior of the Reichstag dome in Berlin, designed by Norman Foster. I could have stayed there for hours taking photos!
In the background the Kölner Dom (cathedral). The bridge over the river Rhine is filled to the rim with lovelocks.

This is the Route 64 bridge between Savanna, IL, and Sabula, IA, bridging the mighty Mississippi River. Its upward angle to allow for barge traffic below takes the scene all the way to the horizon of the setting sun. When you think about it, a bridge takes you much farther than from one side to another...it provides the opportunity to bridge the gap to as far as you want to go.
A crowd had gathered on the crow's nest to watch the sunset.

The central cemetery of Bochum (Friedhof Freigrafendamm) is the biggest cemetery of Bochum. He is in the Freigrafendamm street in Altenbochum a district of Bochum.
The buildings available on the cemetery, input area, management, funereal hall and crematory have originated in the time from 1935 to 1939 in the style of a national-socialist construction view. The first burial took place in April, 1935.
On the cemetery most victims of the bomb attacks on the Bochum city centre are buried during the Second World War and about 300 German soldiers. Moreover, in a special area the graves of 1720 forced laborers and female forced laborers are in Bochum.
The St. Marys Rapids are part of the 120 kilometer / 75 mile St. Marys River which drains Lake Superior into the lower Great Lakes; water falls 7 meters / 23 feet over the course of the rapids. The St. Marys River divides Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario from Sault Ste. Marie Michigan.
For over two thousand years, the Anishnabek people of the Great Lakes have gathered at Whitefish Island to fish the rapids, trade, and meet- - -they named this place Baawitigong (Bawating) which translates to “by the rapids”. In 1623, the French explorer Etienne Brule named the rapids “Sault de Gaston” in honour of a French nobleman. In 1668, French Jesuit missionaries, who settled in the area, renamed the rapids “Sault de Sainte-Marie”- - -which translates to Rapids of Saint Mary. Subsequent settlement, industrial / hydroelectric development, and navigation (American Soo Locks / Canadian Lock) have diverted water from the rapids and reduced it’s power and grandeur.
The 1962 Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge is a 2.8 mile / 4.5 kilometer long metal Cantilever (suspended deck) Warren Through Truss bridge with a two span arch over the American Soo Locks and a single span arch over the Canadian Sault canal.
