The Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) is a medium-sized wild cat widely distributed from Northern, Central and Eastern Europe to Central Asia and Siberia, the Tibetan Plateau and the Himalayas. It inhabits temperate and boreal forests up to an elevation of 5,500 m (18,000 ft). Despite its wide distribution, it is threatened by habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching and depletion of prey.

A studio moment.
A visit to the artist's den, in the midst of creation, with the brush still wet, and the canvas half full. An unfinished work in progress, ongoing, against the interruption. Too soon to share.

A picturesque classic scene of the Nile River unchanged for millennia, focusing on the interplay of natural light, strong composition, and cultural elements.
A traditional Egyptian sailboat 'felucca' is visible in the foreground providing a focal point and a sense of scale and movement, with many others docked along the riverbank. The backdrop features a large, arid hill known as Qubbet el-Hawa 'Dome of the Wind', which contains the tombs of ancient Egyptian nobles
The river represent a strong leading line, drawing the eye from the foreground toward the moored boats and the distant hill. The horizon is placed roughly along the upper third, adhering loosely to the rule of thirds and giving prominence to both the expansive sky and the water.
The contrast between the natural elements (river, desert mountain, trees) and the human elements (boats, ancient ruins) illustrates the historical and ongoing relationship between civilization and the Nile environment. The ruins atop the hill provide a sense of history and depth.
The image tells a story of the serene, timeless beauty of the Nile landscape, highlighting the traditional way of life through the presence of the felucca and other docked boats. The overall mood is peaceful and picturesque, capturing the iconic contrast between the fertile river valley and the vast, arid desert that defines the region.
The scene is highly characteristic of the Aswan region, which is famous for its serene Nile Valley scenery and significant archaeological sites. The contrast between the verdant riverbanks, the placid water, the traditional boats, and the barren desert cliffs offers a timeless Egyptian vista.
Moving this image to the top of my photostream as Russia is ramping up its unprovoked, unjust and ultimately senseless war in Ukraine. We are standing for freedom together!

In March 2016, I published this image under the title "For Brussels, with Sorrow". Since then, so many people have died in similar attacks all over the world... I would like to make it a tribute to all of them, victims of brutal and senseless terrorism.

“Religion is a by-product of fear. For much of human history it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of god a pretty good definition of insanity?”
-- Arthur C. Clarke
. . . . . (from the day the photo was published here) . . . . . . . .
Yesterday, in my ongoing review and cleaning of my old photos in Lightroom, I arrived to photos taken in Brussels. This morning, I heard the terrible news; another terrible news of the same kind: a score of innocent people killed and maimed by a bunch of insane lunatics. I love Brussels, and my heart goes out to the victims’ relatives and friends. I just can’t remain silent. From my small collection, I have chosen this photo of a sculptural composition with the name and author unknown to me. Today, I interpret it as a memorial to the victims who could still live, love, laugh, and work to make their city even more beautiful…

Ongoing Project
This Month I am featuring "Work in Progress", "Work Completed" but still not Premiered, or new ideas that are in their infancy.
There will be 8 groups of 4 pics.
Each day a new pic from a new group will be shown and then it will be repeated throughout the month.
Hope that makes sense!

Veröffentlicht mit freundlicher Genehmigung des Eden Projects.
Das Eden Project entstand nach einer Idee des englischen Archäologen und Gartenliebhabers Tim Smit in einer stillgelegten Kaolingrube nahe St Austell. Von der Idee im Jahr 1995 bis zur Eröffnung der Anlage am 17. März 2001 dauerte es sechs Jahre. Charakterisiert wird der Garten durch die zwei riesigen Gewächshäuser, die aus jeweils vier miteinander verschnittenen geodätischen Kuppeln in der Bauweise von Richard Buckminster Fuller bestehen. Hier werden verschiedene Vegetationszonen simuliert. Die Gewächshäuser des Eden Projects sind derzeit die größten der Welt.
Die Entwürfe für die geodätischen Kuppeln stammen vom britischen Architekturbüro Nicholas Grimshaw, die Tragwerksplanung von Anthony Hunt, ihre Ausführung erfolgte durch die Würzburger Firma Mero. Gedeckt sind die mehrfach miteinander verschnittenen Kuppeln mit doppelwandigen Kissen aus ETFE, einem besonders leichten, transparenten Kunststoff. Die Folienkissen wurden in eine Konstruktion aus standardisierten, sechs- und fünfeckigen Stahlrohrrahmenelementen (Raumfachwerk) eingepasst. Die Raumfachwerkkonstruktionen überdecken stützenfrei eine Fläche von insgesamt 23.000 m² (Oberfläche etwa 30.000 m²) und haben eine Höhe von bis zu 50 m bei einem Durchmesser von bis zu 125 m.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates (now part of Sinclair Knight Merz). Davis Langdon carried out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine[4] did the construction, MERO designed and built the biomes, and Arup was the services engineer, economic consultant, environmental engineer and transportation engineer. Land use consultants led the masterplan and landscape design. The project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.
The Tropical Biome, covers 1.56 ha (3.9 acres) and measures 55 m (180 ft) high, 100 m (328 ft) wide, and 200 m (656 ft) long. It is used for tropical plants, such as fruiting banana plants, coffee, rubber and giant bamboo, and is kept at a tropical temperature and moisture level.
The Tropical Biome
The Mediterranean Biome covers 0.654 ha (1.6 acres) and measures 35 m (115 ft) high, 65 m (213 ft) wide, and 135 m (443 ft) long. It houses familiar warm temperate and arid plants such as olives and grape vines and various sculptures.
The Outdoor Gardens represent the temperate regions of the world with plants such as tea, lavender, hops, hemp and sunflowers, as well as local plant species.
The covered biomes are constructed from a tubular steel (hex-tri-hex) with mostly hexagonal external cladding panels made from the thermoplastic ETFE. Glass was avoided due to its weight and potential dangers. The cladding panels themselves are created from several layers of thin UV-transparent ETFE film, which are sealed around their perimeter and inflated to create a large cushion. The resulting cushion acts as a thermal blanket to the structure. The ETFE material is resistant to most stains, which simply wash off in the rain. If required, cleaning can be performed by abseilers. Although the ETFE is susceptible to punctures, these can be easily fixed with ETFE tape. The structure is completely self-supporting, with no internal supports, and takes the form of a geodesic structure. The panels vary in size up to 9 m (29.5 ft) across, with the largest at the top of the structure.
The ETFE technology was supplied and installed by the firm Vector Foiltec, which is also responsible for ongoing maintenance of the cladding. The steel spaceframe and cladding package (with Vector Foiltec as ETFE subcontractor) was designed, supplied and installed by MERO (UK) PLC, who also jointly developed the overall scheme geometry with the architect, Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners.
The entire build project was managed by McAlpine Joint Venture.

In this ongoing sabbatical from railway photography I've been continuing to trawl through the archives to sweat the assets I already have, and here is a shot that hasn't been aired before.
It features DB Cargo 'Shed' 66025 working hard lifting the 11.55am Tunstead - Dowlow Briggs (6H22) through the village of Harpur Hill just south of Buxton, on the kind of weather day that's not so untypical for June in the High Peak.
The train is carrying coarsely-graded limestone quarried at Tunstead for further crushing at Dowlow, from where it will be transported out, either by train or truck, to various destinations around the UK, often for construction work.
The attraction of this shot was the bungalow in the foreground, complete with the roaming geese! In the background can be seen the old embankment used by the Cromford & High Peak Railway on the final leg of its journey to the Peak Forest Canal at Whaley Bridge. The line, which closed in the late 1960s, joined the Buxton to Ashbourne line (upon which this train is travelling) about a half-mile to the left, although there's very little evidence of the old junction now. Back to the frame and a gentleman can be seeing walking his border collie up Hillhead Lane and passing where a bridge would have carried the C&HPR line over the road - this has long gone and presumably removed to allow the frequent trucks that pass this way unencumbered access.
Sadly the view today won't be quite so bucolic - Harpur Hill is now seeing significant residential development to help ease the national housing shortage, and the area between the train and the C&HPR embankment (along with several other greenfield sites locally) is pretty well a building site. The once sleepy village of Harpur Hill is, I suspect, gone for good.

Everything went according to plan and the old Consolidated Grain and Barge elevator is now a pile of concrete and twisted metal. Clean up at this huge site is ongoing.
Valdecarros - Work in progress
Valdecarros is part of a series of ongoing housing developments in the southeast end of Madrid that will add 100,000 new homes to the city. Valdecarros alone will have 50,000 homes and about 150,000 residents by the time all phases are completed in 2039.
-----
Some months ago I started documenting the construction of Valdecarros; besides its social and environmental dimension I want to reflect on an image-saturated society and where certain types of photography stand.
It is not easy finding a street of any major city/town that is not in Google Street View, with notable exceptions like most of Africa and central Asia.
In 2019 Google announced there were 10,000,000 miles captured in Street View; that was achieved in just 12 years, from 2007 to 2019. There are now also available boat trips in Greenland, forest trails in New Zealand or underwater scenery in Australia.
So, I’ll try to beat that mf Google car and shoot the brand new finished streets before it does. Although one could argue that the last layer of completion of a street is to be part of Street View, in which case the car will win no matter what.
One way or another, when the car arrives the project ends.
