Hudson Yards Vessel - NYC - USA. 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs -- almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings -- the vertical climb offers remarkable views of the city, the river and beyond.
A view from the Vessel, Hudson Yard, New York City before COVID taken 8 June 2019. Just one stop along the way with a top to bottom walk around Manhattan with my friend Mathias, aka., m_laRs_k, what a day we had and covered 19 miles. Can't wait to do it again.
The extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is its spiral staircase, a soaring new landmark meant to be climbed. This interactive design piece was imagined by Thomas Heatherwick and Heatherwick Studio as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of the city and one another from different heights, angles and vantage points.
Comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs -- almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings -- with nearly one mile of vertical climb above the Public Square and Gardens, this landmark offers remarkable views.
Thank you for taking the time to visit, comment, fave or invite. I really appreciate them all.

This is an overview of how the backwaters interconnect. The backwaters are made up of lakes, rivers and canals. The boats that provide transportation are found in all shapes and sizes. The large boat is one of the house boats made from an old rice barge. Very clever transformation I would say. And now tourists flock to Kerala for an overnight stay on a houseboat.
I have posted the B&W version of this pano image back in 2019 when the Vessel had just opened. It was made by stitching a few 20mm shots together, the original is 10556 x 8359pixels, the detail is quite amazing and I think it's my favorite of shots that I've taken here.

The ruins of Derrynane Abbey, Ring of Kerry, Ireland
Derrynane Abbey (Ahamore Abbey/Irish: Mainistir Achaidh Mhóir) is a ruined abbey in County Kerry, Republic of Ireland. It is located near the town of Caherdaniel and is very close to Derrynane House, the house of Daniel O'Connell. Derrynane Abbey is on an island appropriately named Abbey Island. It is accessible from the mainland through a beach. It is believed to have been built in the 6th century.
The Abbey itself is very ruined. There are only 3 interconnecting buildings of the abbey left, all without a roof. The main church, like the other buildings, is very overgrown and full of graves, including Mary O'Connell's (wife of Daniel O'Connell) and the eighteenth-century Gaelic poet, Tomás Rua Ó Suilleabháin.
As seen on my travels into the city and a visit to the Hudson Yard area with it's recently opened Vessel. Stitched a few 20mm shots together to achieve this, the original is 11000 by 8800 pixels.

Hey ya'll, hope you all had a great Turkey Day.
Here's another for the Fall series, we were lucky enough that we caught the very last day of fall in the June lake and Mammoth Lakes Loops.
Many of the trees still had leaves but they were falling off quick...all day long piles of leaves blowing across the road almost like golds coins that have lost their value, no longer being connected to the network. Aspen groves are know to grow a root structure that interconnects all the individual trees into a type of neural network something like you would see in a trace draing of the human brain.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, I am always thankful for your views, comments, faves, and support, they are greatly appreciated!! Have a great day my friends!! :)

This is a detail abstract of a Henry Moore public sculpture titled "Locking Piece" that sits right across the street from Tate Britain museum. It was cast in the early 60's and is made up of two large interconnecting forms stacked one on top of the other. Apparently the inspiration for the sculpture was based on bone fragments. More info on the sculpture and a view of the entire sculpture can be found here:

New York City - April 18, 2023: Small crowd of people near the Vessel at Hudson Yards. The spiral staircase is made up of 154 interconnecting flights of stairs with 80 landing. Although it is temporarily closed as some sort of safety netting is being installed to prevent further suicides. There have been four deaths from the Vessel. When it is open it offers remarkable views of the city and the Hudson River.
Kind of a no brainer - surprised it took me this long to hit on this composite. Actually it's a pretty easy one in that it's only two layers, one shifted up and to the right, blended with difference in PS. Then converted to B&W for obvious reasons. I worked really hard to get the symmetry perfect on the other shots so it was nice just to let this fly a bit and see where it was going to land! It sure does highlight the fact that it's a fine line between order and chaos! Think this is the last shot you'll see of this amazing place - I doubt it...
If you have forgotten or this is your first time viewing my photostream: Things That Make No Sense are just that, assorted bits of amusement for nothing more than visual curiosity and my idea of what I call art or abstract art. Now a series of sorts, the series is interrupted with photographs that do make sense, or at least make sense to me. You can like them or not but they make me smile.
Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!

Halgerda willeyi is a species of sea slug. It is a dorid nudibranch, a shell-less marine gastropod mollusk in the family Discodorididae.
This species was described from a single specimen collected at Lifou, Loyalty Islands, by Dr A. Willey. Halgerda willeyi has been reported throughout the western Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan, Vietnam, Myanmar, Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia and in the Red Sea.
The body of the Halgerda willeyi is rigid, with a series of acute interconnecting ridges. The ridges are topped with a yellow or orange line. The grooves between the ridges have chocolate brown lines and these lines extend right to the edge of the mantle as numerous radiating lines. This species is a fairly large halgerdid and can reach 50 mm. (Wikipedia) Mabini, South Luzon, Philippines
As seen on my travels into the city and a visit to the Hudson Yard area with it's recently opened Vessel. I've been trying to process a single image that captures the magnificence of the structure and it's been tough because the scale of it is so grand, I've attempted a few but none really did it for me. As I was flipping through the shots I stopped on this one and decided to give it a go. It's a pretty straight shot but I added a B&W luminosity layer to bump up the structure a bit. In this case I used the "Pinhole" filter for the B&W conversion and it worked pretty well when I layered it back in, I only needed to lightened up the steps on the left and the people in the lower right. The pinhole layer produced a vignetting that darkened the edges but in a cool way, working more on the copper and keeping the interest toward the center with the elevator.

I always wonder if I should just upload something cracking to woo my audiences but not really one of my favorites, like the last uploaded picture, or upload something I truly love and feel excited but risk of being rejected if it isn't mainstream enough.
Dumankaya Ikon is a 149 metres residential skyscraper located in the Kadıköy district of Istanbul. The building is formed of three interconnecting elliptical towers that are linked by observation terraces at the 12th, 22nd and 32nd floors. The ground floor is designed as a shopping center. Dumankaya Ikon was completed in 2013.

The Conemaugh and Black Lick spots mill gondolas in what's left of their yard before taking them to the wire mill on the other side of the Conemaugh River.
The Conemaugh and Black Lick was formed in 1923 as a subsidiary of Bethlehem Steel. It operated 47.5 miles of track interconnecting five sections of the Cambria Works spread out over eleven miles of the Conemaugh River. The railroad survived the closure of the mills in 1992, and during Bethlehem Steel's liquidation in 2003, the railroad was sold to ISG which immediately sold it to Lehigh Valley Rail Management which has operated the railroad ever since. Today, the C&BL serves what little manufacturing remains in the former Cambria Works.

A section of the Evanescant installation that appeared at Nottingham Light Night, in essence it was a series of interconnecting bubbles - see below for a picture.
The ramp down to the underground tunnel connecting to the other platforms at the Adelaide Parklands Terminal.
The Overland train from Melbourne was due to arrive in a few minutes, hence the man sitting in the little cart waiting to pull a little train of carts.
I had been referring to this station as the Keswick Terminal, but today I found out that in 2008 it had been renamed to the Adelaide Parklands Terminal, probably to avoid confusion with the Keswick local train station. This one is specifically for interstate trains.

To capture the enormity of the structure I had to stitch together four 20mm hand held shots taken while looking straight up.

From Debeljak we are traversing by the interconnecting ridge to higher Krasji vrh. This, otherwise unimportant summit, is interesting to visit, because during the World War I it was heavily fortified. In the distance are much higher mountains of Julian Alps.
This extraordinary centerpiece of Hudson Yards is a soaring staircase of a landmark. It's an interactive artwork that was designed by Thomas Heatherwick as a focal point where people can enjoy new perspectives of Midtown West, Manhattan, along the Hudson River. It is comprised of 154 intricately interconnecting flights of stairs – almost 2,500 individual steps and 80 landings. It opened in 2019 and, sadly, has been closed since 2021 because of four suicides.
The Gäuboden is a region in Lower Bavaria in southern Germany that covers an area about 15 kilometres wide south of the River Danube and the Bavarian Forest, beginning opposite Wörth an der Donau and stretching as far as Künzing. The largest town in the region is Straubing, which is often called the centre of the Gäuboden. The Gäuboden is one of the largest loess regions in southern Germany. This small avenue interconnects Moosham and Aufhausen.

The Admiralty buildings lie between Whitehall, Horse Guards Parade and The Mall in the heart of London. The structure is split between five interconnecting buildings, the oldest was once known as ‘The Admiralty.’
A reaction ferry interconnects the small villages of Stausacker and Weltenburg. The cloister of Weltenburg is famous for having one of the oldest breweries in the world, but also for the church designed and equipped by the famous Asam brothers in the 18th century.
Just over a kilometre from Piedra de Los Moros an outcrop and a hermitage from the 11th century. Once again we see a respectful distance from an ancient loci. We see quiet influence. We see 'then modern' versions of monolithic sarcophagi - far from the 'bathtub' forms; and then modern redefinitions of the domed cavities so dominant in Los Moros. Gone are the interconnecting window-doorways, gone is the easy distance between the top opening and floor, gone is the organic top aperture big enough for good light, a quick jump-through access and the symbolic that comes from allusions to a site currently known as a monolithic necropolis, and in place a then modern definition for those with lingering ideas of ancient significations for the Moros site: "Your relics are todays grain silos and nothing more - move on". Said at a respectful distance but with a chip-shifting realpolitik and need to adhere to norms.

The main imambara consists of a large vaulted central chamber containing the tomb of Asaf-ud-Daula. At 50 by 16 meters and over 15 meters tall, it has no beams supporting the ceiling and is one of the largest such arched constructions in the world. There are eight surrounding chambers built to different roof heights, permitting the space above these to be reconstructed as a three-dimensional labyrinth with passages interconnecting with each other through 489 identical doorways. This part of the building, and often the whole complex, may be referred to as the Bhulbhulaya. Known as a popular attraction, it is possibly the only existing maze in India and came about unintenionally to support the weight of the building which is constructed on marshy land.

Set against the backdrop of one of London's most iconic buildings, Boots presents Glide at Battersea Power Station offers unrivalled views of the Thames as you skate around three interconnecting rinks surrounded by twinkling lights and a spectacular 30ft Christmas tree.
Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames in Nine Elms, Battersea in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was built by the London Power Company (LPC) to the design of Leonard Pearce, Engineer in Chief to the LPC, and CS Allott & Son Engineers. The architects were J. Theo Halliday and Giles Gilbert Scott. The station is one of the world's largest brick buildings and notable for its original, Art Deco interior fittings and decor.
The building comprises two power stations, built in two stages, in a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built between 1929 and 1935 and Battersea B Power Station, to its east, between 1937 and 1941, when construction was paused owing to the worsening effects of the Second World War. The building was completed in 1955. "Battersea B" was built to a design nearly identical to that of "Battersea A", creating the iconic four-chimney structure.
"Battersea A" was decommissioned in 1975. In 1980 the whole structure was given Grade II listed status; "Battersea B" shut three years later. In 2007 its listed status was upgraded to Grade II*. The building remained empty until 2014, during which time it fell into near ruin. Various plans were made to make use of the building, but none were successful.
In 2012, administrators Ernst & Young entered into an agreement with Malaysia's S P Setia and Sime Darby to develop the site to include residential, bars, restaurants, office space (occupied by Apple and others), shops and entertainment spaces. The plans were approved and redevelopment commenced a few years later. The main Power Station building was opened to the public in October 2022.
As of 2023, the building and the overall 42-acre (17 ha) site development is owned by a consortium of Malaysian investors.
The station is also notable for its appearance on the cover of rock band Pink Floyd's tenth studio album Animals (1977).

St. Lawrence & Atlantic geep #1758 is up early on this morning in Berlin, NH to switch the bustling James River/ex Brown Company paper mill. An extrodinary amount of business was generated from the local facilities of here, enough to even have their own railroad, Berlin Mills Railroad, that extended a few miles beyond the main plant to interconnect the processing. Within two years of this shot, all this would become a memory. Jame River closed all the plants in 1991 and along with it, erased 1000's of jobs.
That being said, with the help of a modern day darkroom, I also erased the high tension wires that were strung across the tight valley since this shot can't be duplicated today.
