Largs' most famous monument is The Pencil, situated at the south end of the Prom, near to Largs Marina. The Pencil was built in 1912, to commemorate the Battle of Largs 1263, when the Scots defeated King Haco of Norway's troops on the shore at Largs, after the 160 long ships got caught in a storm.

I've been wanting to visit Monument Valley since my first trip to the States in 1997, so I was happy that we were able to plan it into this trip. A truly beautiful place to visit. 21/09/2019.
July 4th, 2006 - wandering the Southwest, looking for photo opportunities, with Jeff Hay.
Monument Valley from my first (and so far only) roll of Velvia with the X-Pan. The saturation is over the top, but this is really close to what the slide looks like on a light box.

The Playfair Monument honours Scottish scientist John Playfair. It is one of the less photographed of Calton Hill's monuments. It was designed by the Scientist's nephew, a prominent city architect who also designed the adjacent observatory. It was constructed in 1825. Edinburgh, Lothian, UK.
Een rechthoekige plaat van cortenstaal op een platform van cortenstaal met daarop in het midden een witte plaquette. Uit het staal zijn onder andere kruizen gestanst. Daarnaast is er ook een tekst uitgespaard.
In 2013 is het originele monument uit 1960 vervangen. De reden hiervoor was onder andere het verbeteren van de gegevens op het monument. Twee mensen stonden namelijk onterecht vermeld. Ook ontbraken er negen namen.
Het origineel was vervaardigd uit witte natuursteen. Op de zuil was een rechthoekige gedenkplaat bevestigd. Aan de onderkant bevond zich een zwarte plaquette.
A rectangular plate of corten steel on a corten steel platform with a white plaque in the middle. Crosses have been punched out of the steel. In addition, a text has been cut out.
In 2013, the original monument from 1960 was replaced. The reason for this was, among other things, to improve the data on the monument. Two people were incorrectly listed. Nine names were also missing.
The original was made of white natural stone. A rectangular memorial plaque was attached to the column. A black plaque was located at the bottom.

Berlin, Bernauer Straße
Architects: Kohlhoff & Kohlhoff (1998)
In April 1994, the German federal government, represented by the German Historical Museum, held a competition for the design of a national monument for the victims of the Berlin Wall and the German division that was to be erected at the historical site on Bernauer Strasse.
In July 1995 the federal government, which hosted the competition, decided that the design proposal by Kohlhoff & Kohlhoff should be realized. This design called for the integration of the remaining evidence of the original border fortifications at Bernauer Strasse, and sought to reinforce and embellish them through artistic means.
The monument, two steel walls enclosing a preserved 70-meter long section of the original border fortifications was inaugurated in August, 1998.

The Monument is a Doric column in London, situated near the northern end of London Bridge and it commemorates the Great Fire of London. Constructed between 1671 and 1677, it is Grade I-listed and is a scheduled monument.
The viewing platform is reached via a staircase of 311 steps and at least three people can be seen on the platform.
These last two shots really had to be in monochrome. I did think about reducing the saturation levels so the barest colour appeared, but in the end I went for classic black and white. I wonder sometimes if some people today struggle with understanding what black and white photography is about. We live in a world of instant simulation, and it takes imagination and effort to "read" a black and white.
Ansel Adams once likened working in colour to be like playing an out of tune piano (Adams was a concert pianist before turning to photography).
'"I can get—for me—a far greater sense of ‘color' through a well-planned and executed black-and-white image than I have ever achieved with color photography," he wrote in 1967. For Adams, who could translate sunlight's blinding spectrum into binary code perhaps more acutely than anyone before or since, there was an "infinite scale of values" in monochrome. Color was mere reality, the lumpy world given for everyone to look at, before artists began the difficult and honorable job of trying to perfect it in shades of gray.' www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/ansel-adams-in-color-...
I like that description. Mind you I recently purchased "Ansel Adams in Color" (Little, Brown and Company, 1993), and although there's not a lot of his colour slides left (most have deteriorated with time), what is in this collection is a real treasure.
Sometimes you just get lucky. Twice a year, as the sun sets, the shadow of the West Mitten butte is perfectly cast upon the East Mitten butte. This phenomenon draws spectators and photographers from around the world. I didn't even know this was a thing. I just happened to be doing a time lapse from the balcony of our hotel room and the sun popped out from behind the clouds for a few minutes and I noticed the shadow.
