The arbor is aging quite nicely.
I like how the arbor poles intersect with the open grated roof and the legs on the bench intersect together as well.
These paths are in the mangroves at Nudgee Beach in Brisbane and provide human made access through the plethora of mangrove air roots to the beach on the other side. The actual beach can be quite wide at low tide and a great place to walk and explore.
These paths are more well known in parks, forests etc where humans make their own paths, often shortcuts rather than following the constructed ones!
Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia.
"A desire path (often referred to as a desire line in transportation planning), also known as a game trail, social trail, fishermen trail, herd path, cow path, elephant path, buffalo trace, goat track, pig trail, use trail and bootleg trail, is an unplanned small trail created as a consequence of mechanical erosion caused by human or animal traffic. The path usually represents the shortest or the most easily navigated route between an origin and destination, and the width and severity of its surface erosion are often indicators of the traffic level it receives."
You will all know and have used Desire Paths.
Der Große Tiergarten in Berlin ist eine zentral im Ortsteil Tiergarten des Bezirks Mitte gelegene Parkanlage, die sich auf 210 Hektar (2,1 km²) erstreckt. Einige breite Straßen durchschneiden den Park; sie kreuzen sich am Großen Stern, in dessen Mitte die Siegessäule steht. Ein erster Tiergarten wurde schon 1527 an anderer Stelle angelegt, nämlich in der Nähe des Berliner Schlosses, westlich der Berliner Stadtmauer. Das kleine Gebiet wurde seit 1530 nach Westen und Norden hin durch Zukäufe erweitert, bis zu den Grenzen des heutigen Tiergartens und darüber hinaus. Man setzte Wildtiere aus und hinderte sie durch Zäune daran, auf die umliegenden Äcker zu entweichen. Das Gelände diente als Jagdrevier der Kurfürsten von Brandenburg. Als die Stadt Berlin wuchs, wurde das Jagdgebiet nach und nach verkleinert. Friedrich der Große schätzte die Jagd nicht. 1742 gab er den Auftrag, die Zäune niederreißen zu lassen und den Tiergarten zu einem barocken Lustpark für die Bevölkerung umzugestalten. Ab 1818 gestaltete ihn Peter Joseph Lenné zu einem Landschaftspark nach englischem Vorbild um. In der Form, die Lenné ihm gegeben hatte, bestand der Park nahezu unverändert bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde der Tiergarten durch Luftangriffe der Alliierten schwer beschädigt. Unmittelbar nach Kriegsende diente die Ost-West-Achse zeitweise als Flugpiste, auf der Siegessäule war ein Kontrollposten stationiert. In der Nachkriegszeit wurden Bäume und Sträucher aufgrund des Kohlemangels verheizt, auf den freien Flächen wurden Kartoffeln und Gemüse angebaut, eine offiziell von den britischen Besatzungstruppen genehmigte vorübergehende Nutzung: es entstanden etwa 2550 Parzellen. Von ehemals rund 200.000 Bäumen standen noch etwa 700. Die Gewässer waren verschlammt, alle Brücken zerstört, die Denkmäler umgestürzt und beschädigt. Am 2. Juli 1945 beschloss der Magistrat von Berlin die Wiederherstellung des Großen Tiergartens.

Großer Tiergarten "Great Animal Garden") in Berlin is a park centrally located in the Tiergarten district of the Mitte borough, covering 210 hectares (2.1 km²). Several wide streets cut through the park; they intersect at the Großer Stern, in the centre of which stands the Victory Column. A first Animal Garden was laid out elsewhere as early as 1527, near the Berlin Palace, to the west of the Berlin city wall. From 1530 onwards, the small area was extended to the west and north by acquisitions, up to and beyond the boundaries of today's Großer Tiergarten. Wild animals were released and prevented by fences from escaping to the surrounding fields. The area served as a hunting ground for the Electors of Brandenburg. As the city of Berlin grew, the hunting ground was gradually reduced. Frederick the Great did not appreciate hunting. In 1742 he ordered the fences to be torn down and the Tiergarten to be transformed into a Baroque pleasure park for the people. From 1818, Peter Joseph Lenné redesigned it into a landscape park based on the English model. In the form that Lenné had given it, the park existed almost unchanged until the middle of the 20th century. During the Second World War, the GroßerTiergarten was severely damaged by Allied air raids. In the post-war period, trees and shrubs were burned in the peoples' homes due to the lack of coal, and potatoes and vegetables were grown on the vacant land, a temporary use officially approved by the British occupation forces: about 2550 plots were created. Only about 700 of the former 200,000 trees were left standing. The waters were silted up, all bridges destroyed, the monuments overturned and damaged. On 2 July 1945, the Berlin City Administration decided to restore the Großer Tiergarten.

This month I've been given the opportunity to go up to the roof of Fort Dunlop as many times as I like as part of their 100th birthday celebrations. I went up expecting some lovely views back across Birmingham, but found instead that most of those views were blocked by pylons, so I had to get creative.
I made it up a little late in the day, but there was some lovely sunset light emanating from the clear sky, and the planes taking off from BHX would occasionally bank, cutting across the circular structure in the middle.
The processing is somewhat inspired by the likes of Neil Burnell, whose clean monochrome images really resonate in me. I had to work out how to get the best out of this, but it's really fun to do something a little different.
hannover central station, a nexus where countless stories intersect. through a kaleidoscope of reflections, life unfolds in layers. a moment, fleeting yet full, as strangers share a platform, each absorbed in their own world. the cold bite of the morning air contrasts with the warmth that lingers behind the glass. colors blur, a vivid streak across the canvas of daily commute. here, a figure stands out, cloaked in contemplation, their gaze fixed on a destination unseen. another, a silhouette against the morning rush, finds solace in the sanctuary of her thoughts. this image, a snapshot of transient solitude amidst the communal rhythm of travel, captures the quiet intimacy of public spaces, where every passerby is a story, every reflection a window into another life.
Perhaps my favorite sculpture at the Hakone Open-Air Museum. A 1978 work of Japanese artist Ryoji Goto.

Another lurker from the hard drive. This shot is a bit out of control :) Played with the vibrance, recovery, contrast, brightness and blacks till I got where I wanted to be, i.e. garish! In the smaller size, the blacks look a little overdone, but it really comes alive for the larger size.
Taken in the same spot from a previous upload that seemed to be liked. Interested in opinions on this. My 2 cents in a word: FUN!
I want to thank the authors of my latest testimonials: David - Christiane and Rita. When lines cross and paths meet, they ultimately build a story, as in this photograph. I can't help but think of what a beautiful story these three persons have put together for me by intersecting my life. My sincere thanks!

Wandering the back alleys of Vancouver's Mount Pleasant community checking out Vancouver Mural Festival (VMF) works.
"Intersect" by Cara Guri was one of the 2020 VMF entries.
Cara is a Vancouver-based visual artist whose work explores themes of identity construction in portraiture.
Guri is known for her concealed paintings -- portraits hiding the most prominent parts of a subject’s face with an unexpected object placed strategically in front.
Cara’s paintings create a barrier between the subject and the viewer, to examine the often transactional nature of portraiture.
Intended to be a play on the word “insect”, Cara’s mural, “Intersect” plays on the same idea of concealing portraiture through the emphasis of another object. The most notable feature here being the massively enchanting butterfly painted overtop of the subject’s face.
Guri's Mural Statement:
“I wanted this piece to play with the traditional expectations of portraiture, to create a playful barrier between the viewer and the subject and in doing so to invite contemplation on what it means to look and to see.
The location of this mural in a mundane parking lot made me want to produce something that is at once surreal and unexpected, to transport the viewer to an alternate imaginative environment as they go about their daily lives.”
The mural is located between Columbia & Manitoba Streets, in the alley north of West Broadway Avenue.
