We planned to visit Yosemite over the Christmas holiday school break, and despite the federal government shutdown continued the trip. I'm glad we did.
At 26°F, it was a chilly morning and each stop for pictures was a challenge. I am very glad we stopped here.

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.
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.
Landmarke “Tiger & Turtle”

Mit der begehbaren Großskulptur „Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain“ haben Heike Mutter und Ulrich Genth eine eindrucksvolle Landmarke für das Ruhrgebiet geschaffen.Mit ihrer geschwungenen Form krönt die Skulptur die Spitze der Halde.Aus der Ferne betrachtet, verspricht die metallisch schimmernde Form der Bahn auf dem “Magic Mountain” das Erlebnis außergewöhnlicher Beschleunigung. In einer Höhe von 85 Metern ü. NN eröffnet sich ihnen ein eindrucksvoller Blick über den Rhein.

Die Mühle von Sönderho auf der dänischen Insel Fanö
The mill of Sönderho on the danish island Fanö
Sønderho Mølle - Mühle Sønderho
Im Jahre 1928 erwarb der Verein Fonden Gamle Sønderho die 1895 gebaute Galerieholländermühle.
Die zum Abriss vorgesehene Mühle wurde seitdem nach und nach restauriert und hat innerhalb die letzten Jahren neue Mühlenflügel und einen neuen Drehkranz erhalten.
Die geniale, einfache Konstruktion basiert auf jahrhundertelanger Erfahrung und zeugt von imposanter Gleichgewichtskunst. Die acht hohen Ecksäulen des Oberbaus stehen unbefestigt auf dem Steinunterbau der Mühle, und die Haube mit Flügeln, Flügelwelle, Kammrad und Krühwerk ruht nur auf 8 kleinen Stahlrollen, die auf einem Stahlring oben auf dem Oberbau aufliegen. Das Eigengewicht der Mühle hält die ganze Konstruktion stabil - bei Sturm und Flaute!
Photographed at Castillo del Morro Light, Havana, Cuba. The cloud behind the Lighthouse is sea spray from the ocean crashing on the rocks below.
This landmark tree sits in the middle of a farm road intersection. Scouted it out last week and hope to get a sunset or Milky Way type image.
The beloved, 114 yr old landmark pier in White Rock, BC Canada was severely damaged by a windstorm that ripped through Metro Vancouver, BC Canada on December 20th, 2018
A section of the pier, to the right of this image was ripped away by high winds and the raging ocean.
The White Rock Pier is a historic landmark dating back to the 1920's and one of White Rock's finest tourist attractions boasting over 1,540 feet of boardwalk.
I appreciate your kind words of support and would like to thank-you all, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.

Another shot from Caerphilly Castle on Saturday evening. After the sun went down I took a walk around the other side of the castle and behind me there was a massive bank of mean looking cloud given a pink hue from the setting sun. With thunderstorms hitting most of the south of England I was hoping this bank of cloud would put on a show, but Wales was spared from the storms and I didn't hear a hint of thunder.

The Netherlands Carillon is a 127-foot tall campanile housing a 53-bell carillon located in Arlington County, Virginia.
The Atomium is a landmark building in Brussels, Belgium, originally constructed for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair (Expo '58). It is located on the Heysel/Heizel Plateau in Laeken (northern part of the City of Brussels), where the exhibition took place. Nowadays, it is the city's most popular tourist attraction, and serves as a museum, an art centre and a cultural place.
Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and the architects André and Jean Polak, it stands 102 metres (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18-metre-diameter (59 ft) stainless steel clad spheres are connected in the shape of a unit cell that could represent an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. Tubes connecting the spheres enclose stairs, escalators and an elevator (in the central, vertical tube) to allow access to the six visitable spheres, which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere includes a restaurant with a panoramic view of Brussels. The building was completely renovated between 2004 and 2006
A rain wet Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier National Park runs through the forest along McDonald Creek. Completed in 1932, the spectacular, 50 mile long Going-to-the-Sun Road bisects the park east to west. The paved two-lane highway spans the width of Glacier National Park and crosses the Continental Divide at 6,646-foot-high Logan Pass. It passes large glacial lakes and cedar forests in the lower valleys; canyons and cliffs; culminating at the windswept alpine tundra atop the pass. Scenic viewpoints and pullouts line the road offering dramatic views and photo opportunities.
The road is nationally significant for its design and monumental engineering accomplishments. The original roadbed, bridges, tunnels, culverts, retaining walls, and guard walls were built in the “NPS Rustic” style. Individually, these structures are often significant examples of period engineering and design philosophy; collectively, they comprise a vital, integral component of the road’s unique character. Most of these structures were designed to harmonize with the roadway setting by using native materials and by blending with landforms as much as possible.The Going-To-The-Sun Road is a National Historic Landmark, is included in the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.

And it’s not just the mill in Landmark’s sights.
An old industrial brownfield on the opposite side of the river is also part of the project. Landmark plans to turn that site into a complex featuring a conference centre, wedding chapel, hotel and other amenities.
“They talk about bringing people here for weddings and receptions and things of that sort – it’s a beautiful, beautiful setting for that,” says Ross-Zuj.
A covered bridge will be built to connect the two sites.
In total, the project is expected to create about 250 jobs. Officials hope there will also be spin-off benefits as the setting draws weddings and other events to the village.

Bosnia and Herzegovina often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeast Europe, located within the Balkans. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city. Bosnia is not entirely a landlocked country as it may appear on a map – to the south it has a narrow coast on the Adriatic Sea long and surrounds the town of Neum. Many people still associate the country with the break-up of Yugoslavia in the heartbreaking civil war of the 1990's. The scars from that time are all still visible. But today's tourist are likely to remember the country for its friendly, modest and warm people. The country has turned into an exciting and versatile travel destination, with beautiful mountains, numerous medieval castle ruins, seven major rivers, impressive waterfalls. Overall, nearly 50% of Bosnia is forested. A country where Eastern and Western civilizations have met over the centuries. Today integration into the European Union is one of the main political objectives of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The local currency is the Bosnian mark. The euro is also accepted. Islam is the majority faith in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also Orthodox Christianity, and Roman Catholicism are all present. The wild and unspoilt nature makes it an ideal place for both adventurers and nature lovers. Mostar is the largest city in Hercegovina, with a small but thoroughly enchanting old town centre. Mostar has been most famous for this beautiful historic Ottoman-style Stari Most bridge, which spanned the Neretva river in what is considered the historic center of the city.
Mostar is situated on the Neretva River. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who in the medieval times guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans (Turkish tribes) in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most visited landmarks. The bridge was destroyed during the Bosnian War. The European Union has spent more than $ 15 million on restoration. The restoration was finished in 2004. In 2005, UNESCO inscribed the Old Bridge and its closest vicinity onto the World Heritage List. Today it is the city’s crown jewel, a grand stone bridge which sweeps across the water, making it the most photographed landmark in the entire country for good reason.
Bosnië en Herzegovina informeel bekend als Bosnië, is een land in Zuidoost-Europa, gelegen op de Balkan. Sarajevo is de hoofdstad en de grootste stad. Veel mensen associëren het land nog steeds met het uiteenvallen van Joegoslavië in de hartverscheurende burgeroorlog van de jaren negentig. De littekens uit die tijd zijn allemaal nog zichtbaar. Maar de toerist van vandaag de dag zal het land waarschijnlijk herinneren vanwege zijn vriendelijke, bescheiden en warme mensen. Het land is een opwindende en veelzijdige reisbestemming geworden, met prachtige bergen, talloze middeleeuwse kasteelruïnes, zeven grote rivieren, indrukwekkende watervallen. In totaal is bijna 50% van Bosnië bebost. Een land waar oosterse en westerse beschavingen elkaar door de eeuwen heen hebben ontmoet. Tegenwoordig is integratie in de Europese Unie een van de belangrijkste politieke doelstellingen van Bosnië en Herzegovina. Mostar ligt aan de rivier de Neretva. Mostar is vernoemd naar de brugwachters mostari die in de middeleeuwen de Stari Most oude brug over de Neretva bewaakten. De oude-brug, gebouwd door de Ottomanen Turkse stammen in de 16e eeuw, is één van de meest bezochte bezienswaardigheden van Bosnië en Herzegovina. De brug is tijdens de Bosnische oorlog verwoest. De Europese Unie heeft meer dan 15 miljoen dollar uitgegeven aan restauratie. De restauratie is in 2004 voltooid. In 2005 heeft de UNESCO de Oude Brug en de dichtstbijzijnde omgeving op de Werelderfgoedlijst gezet. Tegenwoordig is het het kroonjuweel van de stad, een grote stenen brug die over het water is gespannen waardoor het niet voor niets het meest gefotografeerde monument in het hele land is.
