I found this structure a real challenge to photograph. Personally I don't find much beauty in this and found the sharp angles hard against the lens and the sky. I decided to let the sculpture lead the eye up to the sky.
The ArcelorMittal Orbit is a 115-metre-high tower in Stratford in the Olympic Park. It was designed by Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond.
If you have access to a very powerful telescope then you can point it into the night sky and be witness to all of the orbiting speckles in space. They could be meteorites, satellites or other space junk.
I do not have a powerful telescope so I had to take sea salt and other small spices and drop them onto a piece of black paper to get that space "speckle" appearance. This was taken with a macro lens on small section of the black paper to get the sea salt to appear as meteorites.

Hudsonville Fair last night with Lee. No sun on Tuesday night made for a little more of a dramatic sky. Played with this in Topaz to make it pop a little more.
More progress on the SHIP, er Orbital Station (yet to be named).
Due to added weight as the progress continues, the SHIP will now reside on it's side, supported by 4 clear columns for stability purposes. I am thinking of adding a slow motorized turntable to simulate the orbital nature of this station. I might not finish that by end of September, but I hope to get the SHIP done.
Progress:
Dome semispheres finished and attached, Shuttle docking points on 2 sides.
Still to be done:
Life support interior of the bio-dome: vegetaion for oxygen regeneration and food source, waste recycling, water purification.
Communication, solar arrays, thrusters and storage tanks.
Due to my travels to Denmark this week, building progress will resume next Monday.
I found this ground into the rock in Bryce Canyon [USA]. I took this shot because I liked how the lines and curves worked with another. Also the colour of the different layers of the sandstone really add to this picture.
ArcelorMittal Orbit Sculpture, in the Olympic Park, Stratford, London. Tallest sculpture in the UK, by Anish Kapoor, built for the Olympic and Paralympic Games 2012.
This is a Customs Official in the spaceport of Hera. The space elevator is pretty much the only allowed means of transporting goods to and from space. Smugglers keep trying to transport cargo to and from orbit themselves and here is where the Customs have a busy time trying to enforce planetary regulations.
The Pulsar LH88 is a quick and armed shuttle for both atmospheric and space flight. It is a commonly used craft by customs and other enforcing entities in the galaxy.
This is my entry for the New Elementary Build & Fix Contest. I ordered six 43979 and started combining them in different ways. I liked the shape I got from combining two of the parts stud-to-stud. I started attaching bricks on the outside of the parts and this is the result. There are two engines with two 43979 each, and there are also two 43979 in the front of the fuselage.
(Sorry for bad picture. I just had a few hours to shoot and edit this. The lighting was bad and I had problems with my new computer! And now I can't even find the damn originals anymore. Grrr)
ArcelorMittal Orbit is a 114.5 meter high sculpture and observation tower in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London. It is Britain's largest piece of public art and is intended to be a permanent lasting legacy of London's hosting of the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.
It is sited between the Olympic Stadium and the Aquatics Centre.
150 Sec exposure, f 7.1, 16 Stop ND filter.

This is another take on the same Cuban Lily that I posted a few weeks back. Taken at Longwood Gardens with the Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Lens.
I used the great architecture of the building of Stratford Aquatics Centre to create a really interesting composition for the fantastic olympic orbit tower, by doing this makes the image much more pleasing to the eye.
I love the look from the Orbits Ringflash, even without the signature Ringflash halo. I put my SB900 in it with a sync cord to my hotshoe, stuck it on my 24-70 2.8 and chased my son around the house in TTL mode. Can't beat that color saturation!
Go North West has recently introduced newer buses on its 52 and 53 routes, representing a huge upgrade for two important bus routes which connect many of our city's suburbs. The 52 runs from Failsworth to Salford Shopping City and the intu Trafford Centre, whilst the 53 - Manchester’s oldest unchanged bus route - takes an orbital circuit of the city, connecting Cheetham Hill with North Manchester General Hospital, Blackley, Harpurhey, Sportcity, Gorton, Belle Vue, Longsight, Rusholme, Salford Quays and Pendleton.
There's a brand new gift available at the store and marketplace. The Orbit necklace and bracelets set comes in 3 metal and 3 pearls colors.

Über der Piazza des K21 schwebt in über 25 Metern Höhe die riesige Rauminstallation in orbit des Künstlers Tomás Saraceno. Das begehbare Kunstwerk ist eine Konstruktion aus beinahe transparenten Stahlnetzen, die in drei Ebenen unter der gewaltigen Glaskuppel aufgespannt sind. In der 2.500 Quadratmeter umfassenden Netzstruktur sind fünf luftgefüllte "Sphären", gewaltige Ballons, platziert.
Die Installation wirkt wie eine surreale Landschaft, ein Wolkenmeer oder wie der Kosmos mit seinen scheinbar schwerelos schwebenden Planeten. Besucher sind eingeladen, die Installation zu betreten und kletternd für sich zu entdecken. Die Wagemutigen nehmen die Museumsbesucher in der Tiefe aus luftiger Höhe wie winzige Figuren in einer Modellwelt wahr. Umgekehrt erscheinen die Menschen im Netz von unten wie Schwebende oder Schwimmer am Himmel.
Wenn mehrere Personen gleichzeitig die Installation betreten, geraten die Netze in Bewegung – die Spannung der Stahlseile und der Abstand der drei schwankenden Netzebenen verändert sich unwillkürlich. Der Raum in der Schwebe wird so zu einem schwingenden Netz von Beziehungen, Resonanzen und einander bedingender Kommunikation.
Die Besucher nehmen, ähnlich wie eine Spinne im Netz, die anderen Menschen durch Vibrationen wahr. Dies verdeutlicht das Interesse des Künstlers an neuen hybriden, über die herkömmlichen Möglichkeiten des Menschen hinausgehenden Formen von Kommunikation und Kooperation, die er in seinem Berliner Atelier untersucht.

Above the piazza of the K21 hovers the huge installation in orbit of the artist Tomás Saraceno in more than 25 meters height. The walk-in artwork is a construction of almost transparent steel nets spanned in three levels under the huge glass dome. In the 2,500 square meter network structure, five air-filled "spheres", huge balloons, are placed.
The installation looks like a surreal landscape, a sea of clouds or the cosmos with its seemingly weightless floating planets. Visitors are invited to enter the installation and climb for themselves. The daredevils perceive museum visitors in the depths from lofty heights like tiny figures in a model world. Conversely, people in the net from below appear as hovers or swimmers in the sky.
If several people enter the installation at the same time, the nets get moving - the tension of the steel cables and the distance between the three fluctuating network levels changes involuntarily. The suspended space thus becomes an oscillating network of relationships, resonances and interdependent communication.
Similar to a spider in the web, visitors perceive other people through vibrations. This illustrates the artist's interest in new hybrid forms of communication and cooperation that go beyond the traditional possibilities of man and that he examines in his Berlin studio.

The war is going on on all continents! Where there is no direct clashes, special forces forces covertly operate. The oceans of the planet are teeming with warships. Armadas of warplanes filled the sky. How do we manage it all? How do we understand what's going on? Who is a friend? Who is the enemy? Where's that damn B11 gone again?
Catland's Air Force deployed an orbiting satellite constellation. It includes spacecraft created on a single platform: "Cat's Ear" communications satellite, "Cat's Eye" multispectral optical reconnaissance satellite and "Light of Terrus" special satellite of the Holy Inquisition.
In addition to the tasks of reconnaissance, communications and destruction, all devices are aimed at finding and destroying the notorious "Damocles" station in order to end the strife between nations and put an end to the horrors of war with one precise strike of the "Light of Terrus".
This build for LEGO wargame DA4. If you are interested, head over to this group and leave a comment to let the organizers know you are interested...
A digital art creation, consisting of five layers, at varying opacities. No photographic input.
Thanks for all views, comments and fave adds.
I have always been a big fan of symmetry so when I saw this shot in my view, I just had to take it. When you have a sky that looks like this, you definitely have to take the shot. I talk about this a lot; It's nice to have a clear blue sky in your photos but it's even better to have some really nice puffy clouds as well. Don't you agree? Have a magical day!
