Mauritseweg, Rotterdam
That white building looks unreal, as if it is painted on the sky, even when you are looking at it in real life!!
As usual, I find it almost impossible to choose only one to upload, so here's a few. You may have an opinion on which is the more interesting and your comments will be gratefully received.
I'm gonna resist disclosing how they were made for a while, except that I shot them with my fabulous Lomo Diana+.
Taken from the northerly edge of Lydd, Romney Marsh in Kent.
This is one of the two lines of Pylons that leaves Dungeness B Nuclear Power Station, this one once crossing Lydd turns in a northerly direction, while the other heads off in a more westerly direction.
Plus one of the best named farms on the marsh.
The spot-billed pelicans or grey pelicans (Pelecanus philippensis) found to flock together on the electricity cables in an evening in Korattur Lake!
A straight line of Pylons, that cross Walland Marsh, with Little Cheyne Court Wind Farm in the background.

Sunset at paddy field, taken in my hometown.
I’m not really satisfied with the result. Maybe, it’s time to get good filters to capture these kinda moments.
THIS electric car has an extension cord stretching across the sidewalk and into a nearby apartment window. Interesting vanity plate. I actually tripped on the power cable - should zagged and not zigged as I walked down the street.
könnte so ein schöner Anblick sein, aber die StromKabel sind überall
could be such a beautiful sight, but the power cables are everywhere

A storm is any disturbed state of an astronomical body's atmosphere, especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying severe weather. It may be marked by strong wind, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation, such as ice (ice storm), or wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere (as in a dust storm, snowstorm, hailstorm, etc).
Storms are created when a center of low pressure develops, with a system of high pressure surrounding it. This combination of opposing forces can create winds and result in the formation of storm clouds, such as the cumulonimbus. Small, localized areas of low pressure can form from hot air rising off hot ground, resulting in smaller disturbances such as dust devils and whirlwinds.

Looking Southeastwards, back to where the Pylon lines originate at Dungeness B Power Station, hidden in the haze...
This is a photo for this weeks photo assignment, themed Dusk till Dawn.
I realised yesterday evening that I had yet to take a photo for this week's photo assignment, so at about 10:30pm I ran outside into the rain and jumped into my car as this would be my last opportunity to capture a suitable photo. I drove around for about twenty minutes with no real inspiration but just hoping something would catch my eye. Eventually I came across this petrol station hidden away in the middle of a an industrial park. I think that it has something to do with Sunseeker yachts as it is not open to the public and there was security guard in a hut nearby.
I particularly liked the slightly retro look and the fact that it had been raining so there was sections of reflection within the puddles. It is the first time I have ever seen this subject having lived in this area for over 30 years, it just goes to show that a camera can help you to see so much more. :)
With time quickly running out I decided to try and capture a shot. I took a few shots but initially wasn't very happy with them. I wanted to move back further but there was a wall behind me and a spotlight beaming down exactly where I wanted the camera to be so it would completely ruin the shot. In the end I decided to take three shots at different exposures with the intention of creating a monochromatic HDR shot, which is what I have ended up with. I used Photoshop to create the HDR and then I applied a slight vignette in Lightroom to make the edges slightly darker and give the image a more desolate feeling.
In the larger view you can just about make out the trees and the sky in the background, but in the smaller shot it all looks black.
EDIT:
I was pleased to find that this photo features in Explore for June 14th, thank you to everybody for your feedback! :)
Unedited shot of bikers in Amsterdam, reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Sony HX1. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
We are experiencing a really lovely Indian Summer in the best city in the world at the moment, and I am ecstatically happy about being able to finally spend some sunny days in the parks and by the water, if it wasn't for one thing that's bothering me: All the machines in my house seem to rebel at the moment, the battery of my little Netbook died last week, so I'm running it with the powercable connected at all times, but it often refuses to hook up to my Wifi network despite a strong, beautiful signal, my Desktop PC randomly won't start up anymore, and if it does, freezes at the most inconvenient moments and requires several reboots before it'll resume operation, my HTC Desire is doing strange things and will often not go online, even though it has a perfect connection, my TV is behaving like a child that has just entered the early stages of puberty, and my external Hard-drives do whatever they like. Yesterday when I came home from the park, my PC did not find its Network-card anymore and stubbornly refuses to go online, so I'm considering to go and buy a new one today, to have at least one problem sorted out. Stoopid technology, you're supposed to be my slave, not my master, lol :D
Have a wicked weekend :)
VIew from Wierderond in the abandoned village of Weiwerd, The Netherlands
Not so very long ago the village of Weiwerd was a thriving and picturesque community of over 300 people, with many shops and a railway station. It was forced out of existence by the arrival of new industry on the De Oosterhoek, to the East of Delfzijl, much of it the manufacture of industrial chemicals.
The story of its demise is a sad one. It is well described in Wikipedia: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weiwerd_(dorp)
This part of Groningen has also seen the construction of hundreds of wind turbines and several huge solar farms.
I've had this sitting half done on my HDD for months! I know the concept is simple. I know the result is also simple. But for some reason it was harder to do than expected.
One of the two straight lines of Pylons, that cross Romney Marsh or Walland Marsh, depending on where you are standing!
Here's a partial shot of my home office (photos in this set were taken for my Declutter The Mess Under Your Desk! blog post).
The desk is a Palermo office desk purchased from Cost Plus World Market (I believe they're no longer sold). The Logitech V200 cordless mouse and M$ Natural Ergonomic Keyboard are tucked away on a sliding keyboard shelf - a feature I love about this Palermo desk. BTW, the mouse was purchased for $10 after rebate from Buy.com and the keyboard was purchased for less than $20 new off of eBay.
All cables and power bricks have been hidden behind and underneath the desk as shown in this photo and this photo.
The monitor is a Samsung 173P mounted on an Ergotron Neo-Flex LCD arm which I purchased on eBay for $20 refurbished.
The shelf is from IKEA, but I can't for the life of me remember the model - I would personally recommend the BILLY shelf system if you're looking. The storage box on top of the shelf is the IKEA KASSETT, and on top of that rests the FM3 Buddha Machine.
BTW, this is the way my office looks on a regular basis - I've tried my best to minimize any clutter and the only thing that is visible is my MacBook Pro (not shown) which connects to the Samsung monitor via DVI.
