Photography from a flight over the North American prairies: the journey was from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan into the province of Alberta. A snow-covered landscape shows an interplay of light and shadows.
Yesterday i wanted to visit & photograph the Tulip fields near Lisse & Hillegom in province South Hollan
d (Zuid-Holland). I was a bit dissapointed and did not see alot of tulips in the fields yet although I saw some great tulip field photos of some photographers in other areas in the Netherlands. It was also a bit cloudy on the lower part of the horizon so i was not able to see the sun during the sunset. I decided to go visit one of the three calavatra bridges from the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava between Hoofddorp and Nieuw Vennep. This is most southern of the three of the cable stayed bridges. I upped the contrasted so you don't see alot of details and the focus is 100% on the symmetric lines. It was a challenge to shoot this photo because my nikon 18-200 has zoom creep so the lens falls down when shooting (don't have the 18-200 version with the lock). I will certainly check out the tulip fields and the other calavatra bridges.

This is also probably one of those that's been done so many times, and sorry if I may have "copied" the theme, but I couldn't resist.. plus, I put my own spin on it...
It was a fun day hanging out with some of the talented photographer friends, urbexing on a bone chilling cold day...
Thanks for your visit and comments. Keep your constructive criticism coming.
It goes w/o saying, so please press L now.

These towers have been standing along the electric division of the Hudson line since the electrification was built reaching Harmon, as far as the 600VDC electrification would go, in 1913 the same year Grand Central Terminal would open to the public. Since then, they have stood the test of time supporting the electrification, carrying the high voltage AC that would be stepped down and converted to DC for the third rail along with signal and communication lines as well. Although all of that has been moved either underground or in conduits along the right of way, a fair number of transmission towers still stand along the Hudson, just as they did when the New York Central first erected them. This is one alongside the Hudson at Scarborough, NY.
...and all I found were a few cranes and a rail.
I have identified them as Grus ferrum and Rallus taxusnomore.

Último exponente de la legendaria Escuadra de Sarmiento, la corbeta Uruguay intervino en revoluciones, rescates, expediciones, y fue incluso sede flotante de la Escuela Naval, su acción más destacada se realizó entre 1901 y 1903 cuando al mando del almirante Julián Irizar apoyó y luego rescató a la expedición antártica de Otto Nordenskjöld. Quitada de servicio en 1962 fue declarada en 1967 Monumento Histórico Nacional y como tal hoy se exhibe amarrada en el dique 4 de Puerto Madero, en la ciudad de Buenos Aires.

This illustration shows a prototype development of a station platform canopy based on pre-grouping-era examples I've observed in the southern UK. The design is based on four main elements:
1) The pillar - a standardised element which can be used at any desired interval spacing. It consists of a flanged technic axle inserted into a bearing/double-pin element which is then partially inserted into a 2-brick height cylinder brick. The top consists of a cross-axle connector with half-arch elements stud fitted to the connector. The photo show the details.
2) Frame - This simply consists of technic beams stud fitted to the pillars. Cross beams can be pinned at any desired location to mount the side valances.
3) Valances - End valances are made from angle plates laminated with vertical tiles. Side valances are simply 1x plate lined with "tooth" elements covered with 1x1 tiles (brick consuming!)
4) Roof - The roof is a hinged assembly lined with either tiles and/or other texture plate/tile combos as desired and edged with rail plates. I haven't decided on the right covering yet.
This is still in the development stage, but has progressed enough that I like where its going. I still have to work out how to attach the roof plus some other details. The nice thing about this design is that it is very robust. Because it is fundamentally made from technic elements (beams and axles), it is quite strong and has survived my ham-fisted handling quite well ;) Luckily this strength has not come at the expense of the slender look of the pillars and valances that I wanted to achieve--I didn't want it to look "chunky".
No 1 King Street West in Toronto Canada. The 51 storey condominium tower at the corner of King and Yonge Sts is the tallest residential building in Canada and has the most slender height to width ratio of in the world.

The full rake of eight experimental carriages known as the XP64 set are seen on the 9.00am Paddington to Swansea train hauled by a Brush type 4 as it leaves Newport. The rake consisted of three Corridor Firsts, two Corridor Seconds, and three Tourist Second Opens and were built by Derby Carriage Works in 1964. They resembled Mark 1 stock but inside they included many new features, including pressure ventilation, new seating designs and wider bi-fold doors.

Trein 46704 kreeg vandaag twee fotostops aangeboden door Infrabel en Prorail.
Tweede fotostop was in Breda. Momenteel hebben we een ruimzittend dienstregeling pad voor de trein tussen Roosendaal en Breda. Vandaag mocht de RRF1106 de tijd even afwachten langs het perron. Normaal rijden we via spoor 3 maar even halteren goed voor de zon op spoor 4 is ook geen probleem. Links in beeld de stoptrein naar Utrecht en naast de cargo de sneltram naar Amsterdam.
