Jutting out into the Pacific Ocean from the spectacular Big Sur Coast, the Point Sur Lighthouse stands as a silent sentinel to a by-gone era.
Point Sur, a National Historic Landmark, is the only complete turn-of-the-century light station open to the public in California.
From 1899 until 1974, families lived and worked in the buildings atop Point Sur. Today the place is a ghost town.
The unique stone lighthouse still guides ships with its light, though it is now totally automated.
Thank you for your comments,
Gemma
Explored #20. Thank You
I had all of 2 evenings and managed few shots. Always a big challenge when I go out to shoot these majestic landmarks ...what POV/Angle can I get. Given the lack of the previously seen yellow lights in the arches....made it more difficult. The rains had just stopped and that helped !
The Saarpolygon is a memorial to the coal mining in the Saar region, which finally ended in June 2012. The large accessible sculpture stands on the Duhamel slagheap in Ensdorf, which rises about 150 metres above the surrounding Saartal valley.
The walkable monument is about 30 metres high. The 35-metre-long transverse section is accessed from both sides by 132 steps at a height of 25 metres. The viewing platform weighs around 60 tons. The Saarpolygon is designed in such a way that it has a different shape from each direction: rectangular archway, triangle standing on the top or base, cross with horizontal line. In the ground plan it has the shape of a Z.
147 designs were submitted in the competition of ideas for the artistic implementation - the winner was the Berlin architect duo Katja Pfeiffer and Oliver Sachse.
Their design of a large walk-in sculpture, which "as a symbol of change in an abstract language of form traces a variety of mining motifs", is intended to form a gateway into the future in the eyes of the beholder. The formal language of the puristic steel grid construction is intended to express the inseparability of origin and future in the country and to show the classic connection of coal, steel and energy in Saarland.

Das Saarpolygon ist ein Denkmal zur Erinnerung an den im Juni 2012 endgültig beendeten Steinkohlebergbau im Saarrevier. Die begehbare Großplastik steht auf der Bergehalde Duhamel in Ensdorf, die sich rund 150 Meter über das umliegende Saartal erhebt. Das begehbare Denkmal ist rund 30 Meter hoch. Zu dem rund 35 Meter überspannenden Querstück führen von beiden Seiten genau 132 Stufen in 25 Meter Höhe. Die Aussichts-plattform wiegt rund 60 Tonnen. Das Saarpolygon ist so gestaltet, dass es aus jeder Richtung eine andere Form hat: rechteckiger Torbogen, auf der Spitze oder der Basis stehendes Dreieck, Kreuz mit Querstrich. Im Grundriss hat es die Form eines Z.
Im Ideenwettstreit zur künstlerischen Umsetzung wurden 147 Entwürfe eingereicht- Sieger war das Berliner Architektenduo Katja Pfeiffer und Oliver Sachse. Ihr Entwurf einer begehbaren Großskulptur, die „als Symbol des Wandels in abstrakter Formensprache vielgestaltige Bergbaumotive nachzeichnet“, soll in den Augen des Betrachters ein Tor in die Zukunft bilden. Die Formensprache der puristischen Stahlgitterkonstruktion soll die Untrennbarkeit von Herkunft und Zukunft im Lande zum Ausdruck bringen und die klassische Verbundenheit von Kohle, Stahl und Energie im Saarland zeigen.
Casco Viejo, also known as the Old Town of Bilbao, dates back to the founding of Bilbao in the 14th century and is characterised by its medieval layout. It’s a charming area with narrow streets, colourful facades and significant landmarks.
In 1927, Bert Koontz built this Coffee Pot on the west end of Bedford, Pennsylvania, to attract visitors to his adjacent gas station.
During the Lincoln Highway era (1912-1940), programmatic architecture was developed to appeal new motoring public. The Coffee Pot was one of them along the Lincoln Highway, Route 30, In Pennsylvania. This, 18 feet (5.5m) tall and 22 feet (6.7m) in diameter, was opened as a small restaurant, and later converted to a bar, then a gift shop.
In the 1980s, the Coffee Pot was officially closed and, by the 1990s, it was in bad shape and was nearly torn down. The local community came together, along with the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor to save this roadside landmark.
In 2004, the Coffee Pot was moved across Route 30 to the current location, the entrance of the Bedford County Fairgrounds and restored. Currently, in 2022, it is vacant.
Die Hafenverwaltung / Port-Authority in Antwerpen mit einem Reiter von Zahah Hadid, die man auch am MAS vom Stadthafenbecken, Godefriduskai aus sehen kann.
Ich habe das Gebäude noch nie im Kontext gezeigt gesehen, und deshalb nie ein Größe-Gefühl bekommen, deshalb veröffentliche ich für euch dieses Foto. Es liegt quasi im Niemandsland in einer chaotischen Industriebrache und ohne jedweden Bezug zur Umgebung an der Shelde, wo ständig etwas Neues gebaut wird.
Auf dem Hinweg begleitete uns die "Kakophonie" einer über Kilometer extrem laut zu hörenden Schlag-Ramme. die Spundwände in eines der Hafenbecken verbrachte, um vor Wasser geschützt Fundamente einbringen zu können.
Die von den Gebäuden verschieden stark zurückhallenden Echos verschleierten den Ursprungsort und machten das Aufsuchen des futuristischen Bauwerks noch surrealer.
Am Kai liegt ein, mehr oder weniger, schrottreifes, belgisches Marineboot, amscheined ist die belgische Marine in einem ähnlichen desolaten Zustand, wie unsere Marine und unser Heer. ... ;-) ...

This night photograph of Waibaidu Bridge was taken over two weeks ago during my recent visit to Shanghai.
Waibaidu Bridge, also known as Garden Bridge of Shanghai, crossed the Suzhou River that merged with Huangpu River. This bridge was built in 1907 and was the first steel truss bridge in China.
The long exposure photograph was taken from a spot on the pedestrian walkway on one side of the Bridge. The illuminated bridge, with traffic light trails, contrasted well with some of Shanghai’s landmarks in Pudong, including Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower.

These twin skyscrapers were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004, and are iconic landmarks of Malaysia. The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) and the lit pools in the beautiful KLCC Park are seen in the foreground.
Best wishes for a great weekend!
The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.

:::... Lauv - Modern Loneliness ...:::
I’ve been thinking about my father lately, the person that he made me, the person I’ve become
And I’ve been trying to fill all of this empty, but I’m still so empty
Yeah, I could use some love
And I’ve been trying to find a reason to get up
Been trying to find a reason for this stuff
In bedroom and my closet, the baggage in my heart is still so dark
Modern loneliness
We’re never alone but always depressed,
Love my friends to death but I never call, I never text
You get what you give and you give what you get, so
Modern loneliness
We love to get high but we don’t know how to come down
If I could break my DNA to pieces, rid of all my demons
If I could cleanse my soul
Then I could fill the world with all my problems, but shit that wouldn’t solve them
So I’m left here alone
And I’ve been trying to find a reason to get up
Been trying to find a reason for this stuff
In bedroom and my closet, the baggage in my heart is still so dark
We’re never alone but we’re always depressed
