Always reminds me of a rocket waiting to go!!

This tree on the banks of River Werre is a good friend and a perfect indicator for the state of the seasons. Löhne, Ostwestfalen, Germany
A South Okanagan landmark. This barn on the Haynes Ranch was built in 1916 to replace the original one that burned down in 1914. The ranch was on about 21,000 acres of land between Osoyoos and Oliver, British Columbia.
A view of the Art-Deco style Lamar Boulevard Bridge in downtown Austin as seen shortly after sunset. Completed in 1942 as the second permanent bridge to cross the Colorado River in downtown Austin, the Lamar Boulevard Bridge is one of the last Art Deco-style open-spandrel concrete arch bridges built in Texas. Named an Austin Landmark in 1993, the Lamar Boulevard Bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places the following year.
With a population of just over one million residents, Austin is the 10th largest city in the United States. The Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos Metropolitan Area, now with a population of 2.3M, also is the fastest growing large metropolitan area in the country having added more than 579,000 residents since 2010.
A hole left in the heart of White Rock
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
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.
In this scene, you will notice some of the remains of many destroyed sailboats.
During the storm the boats were ripped away from an attached dock, at the end of the pier, and were aggressively tossed around, beaten and smashed to pieces, by the high force winds and rough waves.
I appreciate your kind words of support and would like to thank-you all, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography

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.
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. ... ;-) ...
