Went out with Indriði on short notice and we went to Þingvellir for some nightscapes. We didn´t really expect any borealis because the forecast for them said there was little chance of them. Close to Mosfellsbær we saw this just before we got to Gljúfrastein where the famous writer Halldór Laxnes used to live, this is just up that hill.
The red light shining on the mountain to the left is ambient light coming from Reykjavík, the moon was almost full so that´s why there is so much light on the foreground and an almost blue sky.

The interior of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights has walkways that gradually take you through the various exhibits and to the higher levels of the building.
All the walkways are lined with alabaster which was chosen for its beautiful qualities when backlit.
Narrow, winding and potholed trails or broad, paved, signposted walkways. Pathways may have different forms but, as they say, if you find one with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere worthwhile...
Scan your archives, make your choice, and tweet your best shot to @Flickr, adding #TwitterTuesday #Pathways. We'll showcase the best ones on the Flickr Blog tomorrow.

These photographs document the platform area at Starnberg station, not the main station building. The visible structure consists primarily of historic iron columns and beams that remain in active use but show clear signs of aging: corrosion, flaking paint, and uneven maintenance. What was once a coherent architectural system has become a fragmented, utilitarian framework.
The original platform roofs are completely gone. In their place, the iron skeleton stands exposed to weather and light. Rather than being restored, the structure has been stabilized through added construction: scaffolding, bracing elements, and protective netting that cut across the original geometry. This creates a layered visual language of old infrastructure and temporary reinforcement.
A newer canopy appears only in selected areas, mainly above stair access points. This roof is made of corrugated sheet metal (Wellblech) and serves a purely functional role. It offers basic protection but no architectural continuity with the historic structure. Large sections of the platforms remain open.
The site reflects the character of a “lost place” in operation. It is neither fully preserved nor abandoned. Ongoing disputes between heritage protection (Denkmalschutz), ownership responsibilities, and questions of funding for repair and upkeep have left the platforms in a state of visual and structural limbo. The result is an environment where historical fabric survives, but without clear restoration strategy.
Access is partially restricted through fenced zones and controlled pathways. This affects circulation and accessibility, including limited or indirect wheelchair access. The station continues to function, yet the platform space feels provisional — maintained just enough to operate, but not enough to recover its former architectural identity.
From a photographic perspective, the focus lies on the exposed iron framework, the absence of the original roof, and the contrast between historic construction and pragmatic modern additions. The images document a transitional state: a working railway platform that visually reads as a relic.
“The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created--created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating.” ~ Author Unknown
