Darwen, Lancashire
Always reminds me of a rocket waiting to go!!
Known locally as Darwen Tower, Darwen, Lancashire
The octagonal Jubilee Tower is situated on Darwen Hill overlooking the town of Darwen in Lancashire,
It was completed in 1898 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and also to celebrate the victory of the local people for the right to access the moor.
More recently ii has been fully restored and will hopefully be standing overlooking Darwen for years to come.
The old Venetian harbour of Chania is considered one of the most significant historical landmarks in Crete. It was originally built by the Venetians between 1320 - 1356 AD during their occupation in Crete and it was considered among the most important trade in Mediterranean. Nowadays most of the parts of the harbour have been restored and it is one of the most popular spots on the island.
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.

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. ... ;-) ...

This night photograph was taken from a spot along Esplanade last month. The photograph captured the colourful reflections of the landmarks in Marina Bay. These included (from left of photograph) high-rise buildings in Marina Bay Financial Centre, Central Business District and the historic Fullerton Hotel and Jubilee Bridge.
It was breezy in the Bay and the long exposure captured the attractive and colourful reflections in the Bay.
Best wishes for a great weekend!
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.

#CHEK MY BIO FOR BLOG DETAILS AND LANDMARKS
Whilst visiting Bow Fiddle Rock last week with a friend from work, I met a tourist photographer, we started talking about editing programmes and silver efex pro came up as topic of discussion. I havent used it in ages. So this morning I fired up silver efex and enjoyed doing something different. A good cuppa and an enjoyable sunday morning editing session.
This shot being a daytime long exposure converted to mono in silver efex pro2
