Playing around with creating some scaffolding/supports. It has a lot of potential, but it's parts intensive.

Scaffolding Detail, Manhattan. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
Scaffolding supports against a dark wall, Mahnattan.
Some who know me as a “landscape” or “nature” photographer might be surprised to hear that I love photographing in the urban environment, particularly doing street photography and looking for interesting bits a pieces of the city world. Manhattan is among the most fascinating places to photograph — there’s constant action and a density of people and subjects that is rarely equalled.
On the final morning of my recent visit I had time before heading to the airport to do one more quick walk in the area just below Central Park. Among other subjects I found the ever-present construction scaffolding above sidewalks. These structures are ostensibly there to protect pedestrians from overhead work, but one New Yorker explained to me that sometime they are simply left up since that is easier than paying to stow them!

In complex systems science, "scaffolding" are those structures necessary to move from an initial state to an emerged form. For example, when recapturing an area of land and bringing it back to its natural state (e.g. prairie), you will find that certain birds and plants have to be present during the transition time in order for the old form to re-emerge. Once the new state has emerged, the scaffolding comes down... BUT, without the scaffolding, no change would have occurred.
Another example: Mary Poppins.
The concept of scaffolding has attraction to social scientists and educators too. From: condor.admin.ccny.cuny.edu/~group4/
"Scaffolding instruction as a teaching strategy originates from Lev Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and his concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD). “The zone of proximal development is the distance between what children can do by themselves and the next learning that they can be helped to achieve with competent assistance." The scaffolding teaching strategy provides individualized support based on the learner’s ZPD. In scaffolding instruction a more knowledgeable other provides scaffolds or supports to facilitate the learner’s development. The scaffolds facilitate a student’s ability to build on prior knowledge and internalize new information. The activities provided in scaffolding instruction are just beyond the level of what the learner can do alone. The more capable other provides the scaffolds so that the learner can accomplish (with assistance) the tasks that he or she could otherwise not complete, thus helping the learner through the ZPD."

Not much is left of the three mills that thrived on Ingersley Vale's cleverly harnessed water resources since the early nineteenth century. This old iron aqueduct delivered water to the waterwheels in the Clough Mill, and is now in a sorry state with the site mostly cleared for a potential 66 home development
She didn't want to pass under the scaffolding and my lens "met" her at the ending point of this tunnel.
Post processed with Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro (added a little bit of a grain).
Enjoy!

Bridges are an intermittent but important theme in French painter Claude Monet's art, as seen from the docks of La Grenouillere to the end of his career, with the extended series of paintings he devoted to the Japanese bridge in his garden at Giverny. It was in Argenteuil, though, that the theme first rose to prominence, in the years 1872-1878. The bridge pictured here had been erected in the early 1830's, but it was damaged during the Franco-Prussian War by French troops to hinder the opposing force's march on Paris. Scaffolding can be seen on the right side, indicating the structure's repair.
This Monet original was photographed on exhibition ('Monet, The Early Years') at The Legion of Honor in San Francisco. This was the first major US exhibition devoted to the initial phase of Claude Monet’s career.
Not happy about this, as was not warned the owner of next door was having the outside walls painted . I can barely get in GRRRRRR
My son and the lady who rents next door have lodged their objections and hopefully the painter will finish within the three week period , fingers crossed
Whilst I was in Leeds for the light night I took loads of other photos of things I saw whilst I walked round.
A sculpture made out of scaffolding created by contemporary artist Toby Welsby which can be found at the entrance to Beversbrook Farm on the A3102 just outside of the town of Calne in Wiltshire. It is 15ft high and 26ft long and took over 18 months to build. It was built to advertise the Calne Bike Meet on July 2013.
