Webb Bridge, 2003.
The winning submission for the sculptured Webb Bridge came from artist, Robert Owen in collaboration with Denton Corker Marshall, architects. The design developed out of a desire for a symbolic and poetic demonstration of reconciliation and indigenous history provided a source of its inspiration.
The bridge is an analogy of Koori fishing traps and the gestural flow of the river below. The decommissioned rail bridge, symbol of European culture, is reconciled with the natural and indigenous past. The resulting structure suggests a new link between the old and new, past and future. A pedestrian/cycle bridge crossing the river Yarra within Melbourne Docklands, the scheme is not only a practical solution to the physical site, conditions and program requirements, but also demonstrates the Docklands Authority commitment to art and innovative architecture in the development of the precinct. As such, the project addresses aesthetic, historical and symbolic issues as integral components of its design.
Webb Bridge won the prestigious RAIA Joseph Reed Urban Design Award 2005 and commendation for Urban Design in the National Awards.
The west side of the Lake Street Bridge has trains, roads, steps down to the river, and steps up to an elevated park.
Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay, Singapore. 2012 Architect: Wilkinson Eyre. Guinness World Record for the largest glass greenhouse. The conservatory has a composite structure composed of a gridshell, which works in tandem with an external superstructure of radially arranged, arched steel ribs.
Princes Bridge, Melbourne. The bridge spans the Yarra River and is built on the site of one of the oldest river crossings in the city, and forms a gateway into the central city from the south. It was built in 1888 and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.
Designed by by architect and engineer John Grainger following a competition and the current bridge is the third bridge in the same location.

This shot was taken at sunrise a couple of weeks ago whilst on a job for a bus company. I've been meaning to get a picture from this location for a while now, so here it is.
Kalurghat Bridge, Chittagong
Kalurghat Bridge is the first bridge in Karnaphuli River. Kalurghat Bridge an old bridge, once the only link between the southern region of chittagong division on the bank of the river karnafuli with the rest of the country. This 239m long bridge was installed as a simple rail bridge of steel structure between Janalihut and Gomdandi railway stations in 1930. The bridge was commissioned for operation of trains in Chittagong-Dohazari section in the year 1931. Thirty-one years after its inauguration, considering the suffering of the people it was modified with decking and carpeting and turned into a rail and road-bridge in 1962.

A point of interest in this semi-basement space is that it is open to the air on the left hand side allowing for natural ventilation, and a view through to the adjacent landscape.

the eiffel tower, an iron giant reaching for the clouds, reveals both its strength and grace when viewed from below. this angle celebrates not only the scale but the delicacy of its latticework, like a piece of intricate lace set against the sky. capturing paris from this perspective gives new life to the cityâs most iconic symbol.
Since quite a while a new busstation is in operation at the IJriver side of the Central Station. Amsterdam, 2016.

standing on west 33rd street, near hudson yards, i tilted my lens upward. the skyscrapers rose like steel giants, their glass facades reflecting the city's pulse. a faint rainbow arched across the sky, a delicate contrast to the rigid lines of architecture. in that moment, the convergence of human ambition and nature's subtle beauty was palpable.

Looking up inside the abandoned coal washing plant at Blaye-les-Mines gave me this vertigo-inducing view that I had to capture. I was struck by how the complex grid of beams and platforms created this almost cathedral-like space above me.
I positioned myself directly beneath this central section and aimed upward to emphasize the dizzying height and the symmetrical patterns formed by the structural elements. The warm rust tones and natural light filtering through the distant windows highlight the textures and depth of this massive industrial space.
What fascinates me about photographing these abandoned industrial sites is how they reveal the impressive engineering of a bygone era. This coal washing plant, once filled with noise and activity, now stands silent but still commands respect through its sheer scale and complexity.
I wanted to document this piece of mining heritage while also capturing the strange beauty that emerges when industrial structures are left to age and decay. These places tell important stories about our industrial past that are worth preserving, even if just in photographs.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia,
Glasgow Tower is a free-standing tower located on the south bank of the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland and forms part of Glasgow Science Centre complex. It holds a Guinness World Record for being the tallest tower in the world in which the whole structure is capable of rotating 360 degrees. It has been closed for more than 80% of its life. It re-opened to the general public in July 2014.
Background and world records
At 127 metres (417 ft), the Glasgow Tower is currently the tallest tower in Scotland, and since late 2015 following the demolition of both the Red Road Flats and the Bluevale and Whitevale Towers the structure is now the tallest in all of Glasgow. It holds a Guinness World Record for being the tallest tower in the world in which the whole structure is capable of rotating 360 degrees. The whole structure rests upon a Nigerian made 65-centimetre-diameter (26 in) thrust bearing, and is connected to its foundations by two concentric rings and shock absorbers. The thrust bearing itself rests in a 15-metre-deep (49 ft) caisson. This is to allow the building to rotate under computer control to face into the wind. The tower has two lifts each with a 12-person capacity, but for reasons of comfort, this is normally limited to 6 guests plus a single member of staff. There is also an emergency staircase, comprising 523 stairs from the Cabin level to the Podium

Spanning the Wagonga Inlet.
The Narooma bridge was the first major bridge constructed on the Princes Highway by the Main Roads Board as part of its efforts to develop the highway. The bridge was built between 1929 and 1931 and crosses the Wagonga Inlet. The bridge has three spans and is made of steel and concrete. It is one of two bascule span bridges of its type remaining in New South Wales in 2002

This is the Globe at the Mall of Asia. I have seen it for three days that men are working on scaffoldings and on its framework; installing Christmas lights. I have heard that this will be lighted on November 9, 2009 together with the giant Christmas tree inside the mall.
I documented this activity, hoping that on the day that it will be lighted, I will be there and that would be another photo series for flickr friends
Purely SOOC
Spent the last couple of days on the Oregon Coast with some photographer friends. Our first night we went to the Peter Iredale wreck in Ft Stevens State Park. We lucked out and had perfect weather for night sky shooting, plus extra bonus, bio-luminescent plankton! The bio-luminescent plankton shows up as a nice blue streak in the ocean.
Some history on the wreck: The Peter Iredale was a 4 masted ship that ran aground in 1906. Fortunately, all the crew survived, and the ship was just left to decay.
