Located near China’s National Stadium, better known as the “Bird’s Nest,” the transmission tower (4299 m2) stretches 132 meters high and is the tallest structure in Beijing Olympic Park, making it one of three main landmark structures in the park.

Here's another one from an "urbexing light" guided tour at the Olympic Village of 1936 with 3-day-beard / 3-tage-bart, bananahh and magritknapp. Here you can see one of the athletes' accomodations. Most of these single-storey houses, which were all named after German regions / cities and which were also arranged according to the map of Germany, have been torn down, the others are all bricked up just like the one in my photo, with one exception: the former "Haus Meissen", now "Jesse-Owens-Haus", which was the house Jesse Owens stayed at during the Olympic Summer Games of 1936. Next to the natatorium, the Jesse-Owens-Haus is the only building at the Olympic Village that has been renovated. For more info on the Olympic Village please check my album, if you like.
I haven't posted this capture earlier because of the the totally blown out highlights in the sky (except for a few clouds right above the building which you can still see). I also wasn't exactly keen on the painstaking, sooo fiddly task of manually replacing the sky with something nicer looking in PS. I'd done that once with another photo, and it took hours to mask out all the small details with the brush tool. So when I received my download link for the new Luminar 4 this week, I thought this capture would not only be a perfect canditate for Sliders Sunday, but also for Luminar's brand new "AI sky replacement" tool. Et voilà: I'm very impressed. It seems to be a really convenient solution to jazz up captures with dull, boring, blown out, overexposed skies with one click and a few slider adjustments. There are quite a few sky presets to choose from (I chose one of the "dramatic sunset" presets), but you can also use your own sky images.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone, and have a great week ahead!
Hier eine weitere Aufnahme aus dem Olympischen Dorf der Sommerspiele von 1936 in Elstal bei Berlin. Hier seht ihr eines der Sportlerwohnhäuser. Die eingeschossigen, für die spätere Verwendung als Kasernenunterkünfte für die Wehrmacht solide gebauten Häuser wurden alle nach deutschen Städten / Regionen benannt und auf dem Gelände auch nach ihrer Lage auf der Landkarte angeordnet. Die meisten der Unterkünfte sind abgerissen oder, wie hier, zugemauert, lediglich das ehemalige Haus Meißen, nach seinem berühmtesten Bewohner heute Jesse-Owens-Haus genannt, wurde erhalten und restauriert.
Dieses Foto schlummerte in diversen Bearbeitungen wegen des fast komplett (bis auf wenige Wolken, immer noch sichtbar direkt über dem Haus) ausgefressenen Himmels auf meiner Festplatte und wäre dort wohl auch noch eine Weile geblieben, hätte nicht die nigelnagelneue Luminar-Version 4 ein geniales neues Tool an Bord: das "AI-Sky-Replacement-Werkzeug". Ein Klick auf ein Himmelsfoto der Wahl (eigene gehen natürlich auch) - und der Himmel wird in Sekunden ausgetauscht. Kein stundenlanges, akribisches Rumgepinsel in der PS-Maske mehr ;-) Jetzt habe ich natürlich nicht vor, jeden Himmel in jedem Foto auszutauschen, aber wann immer ein Bild danach verlangt, weil die Belichtung nicht stimmte oder der Himmel einfach nur langweilig wolkenlos blau oder grau war... warum nicht, wenn das ein Foto ohne ewiges Nachretuschieren rettet :-)
Ich wünsche Euch einen guten Start in die neue Woche, liebe Flickr-Freunde!

Photoshop allows a photographer to cheat very easily. Having that said, I have no issue with artistic 'cheating' with photoshop if it lets the viewer see what the artist intended. I know everyone came down hard on Peter Lik for his moon shot. I have no beef with Lik photoshoping his moon. Do your thing dude.
With that out of the way, there was no reflection cheating on this image. I do cheat at times, but no cheat here. Let me know what you think.
In German there is a sayin "When angels travel - the heaven laughs" - probably better translates to "The sun shines for the righteous..."
This was definitely the case on this wonderful autumnal afternoon at the Olympic Park. Six month after the Tour through South America we had the whole group as guests in Munich. What a great reunion - it felt just like we would have been in Bolivia, yesterday...

Wenn Engel reisen, dann lacht der Himmel - so auch an diesem wunderschönen Herbstnachmittag im Olympiapark.
Sechs Monate nach der Tour durch Südamerika hatten wir die ganze Gruppe als Gäste in München zu Besuch - was für ein schönes Wiedersehen - es war so, als wären wir gestern noch gemeinsam in Bolivien gewesen...
It was originally built by Werner March for the 1936 Summer Olympics. During the Olympics, the record attendance was thought to be over 100,000. Today the stadium is part of the Olympiapark Berlin.
Since renovations in 2004, the Olympiastadion has a permanent capacity of 74,475 seats and is the largest stadium in Germany for international football matches. Olympiastadion is a UEFA category four stadium and one of the world's most prestigious venues for sporting and entertainment events.
Next to my workplace is located an amateur archery field. We use the broken arrows to make some parts of academic robots and machines. The arrows are made of graphite, light and strong, ideal for our purpouses.

Go Team GB!!
Just to state that this is an A6 journal. My writing is just very small :)
Along the Vancouver waterfront are many amenities to view. From the statues and walkways, to hotels and cruise ships. There are however a few monuments as well. The Olympic Cauldron is one such notable monolith. If more information is of interest, google can supply all the information necessary.
On a personal note, my challenge was to make it as interesting as possible without the aid of the nighttime lights. Instead, I chose the opposite and the dramatic shadows seen by the camera that our eyes otherwise fill in. The juxtaposition of dark and light along with the unique structures, aided in the situation to create something special.
