The blue steel of the Manhattan Bridge support structure stands out against the blue skies over New York City
towering assertively against the madrid sky, the KPMG tower at Cuatro Torres is a spectacle of reflective glass and steel. It stands as a testament to modern engineering and design, reaching for the clouds that casually drift by. The building's facade is a canvas for the shifting sky, reflecting the ever-changing tableau above, while below, the city pulses with its ceaseless rhythm.

Dasoupoli Cyta Pedestrian Bridge over Nicosia - Limassol Avenue
Whilst we were up in the Northeast, back in August 2018, I had a day to myself and so I headed off, armed with my photo-kit and "Bucket List". First stop was Middlesborough, for a trip across the Tees on the Transporter Bridge, something that I had been wanting to do for a very long time! I parked on the North back and made the return trip as a pedestrian but it was still great fun!
The Montjuïc Communications Tower, also known as the Torre Calatrava, is a striking architectural structure located in the Olympic Park of Montjuïc in Barcelona, Spain. Designed by the renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, the tower was constructed between 1989 and 1992. Its futuristic design, representing an athlete holding the Olympic flame, has become an iconic symbol of the city. The tower also serves as a functional element, transmitting television coverage of the 1992 Olympic Games.
A perspective on La Grande Roue de Montreal in the Old Port of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
As the tallest ferris wheel in Canada, it was opened to the public on September 1, 2017, to celebrate the city of Montreal's 375th anniversary.
Its construction cost $28,000,000 CDN and was paid by private investors.
It is a Ferris wheel model WS60 (White Series 60 metres) from the Dutch Wheels Company (Vekoma Group) with a height of 60 metres (200 feet) and comprised of 42 passenger units, each of which can fit 8 persons for a total capacity of 336 passengers. A ride last 20 minutes.
At 3,030 feet long, 70 feet wide, and 876 feet above the river, the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia is impressive to see. The day before we got there was bridge day, half of the lanes were closed, and BASE jumpers were having fun leaping into the gorge. Now that would have been a photo op!
Standing proudly in the heart of Tokyo, Tokyo Tower is an iconic symbol of the city’s post-war rebirth, embodying a fusion of Japan’s traditional aesthetics and modern aspirations. Inspired by the Eiffel Tower, this 333-meter structure was completed in 1958, making it a distinctive landmark during Japan’s economic boom. Unlike the French tower's classic iron hue, Tokyo Tower is painted in a striking red and white color scheme to meet air safety regulations. As Japan’s tallest structure at the time of its completion, it served as a beacon of Tokyo's modernization and a broadcast tower, transmitting signals across the city.
An insider tip: Visit the tower’s main observatory, where panoramic views of the sprawling cityscape and glimpses of Mount Fuji on clear days offer a breathtaking experience. You can also explore the lower levels filled with quaint souvenir shops and the Foot Town area featuring restaurants and a quirky "One Piece" manga-themed park. For those craving a romantic night, Tokyo Tower shines with different lighting schemes throughout the year, casting a warm glow over the city. The unique lighting designs change seasonally, and occasionally, special colors light up the tower for holidays or events, making each visit feel special and memorable. With its rich history, architectural significance, and unrivaled views, Tokyo Tower is more than a tourist spot—it's a cultural touchstone connecting past and present Tokyo.

The original date to this shot was November 11th 2009!!! I had my friend cboyle23 meet me there in hopes of the towers being illuminated!!! Much to our dismay they did not!!! It was so windy that day that we shot about 30 minutes worth and bounced out. It's such a shame that they no longer light the two towers. Originally they would light them for all National Holidays...(Check My Previous Posts)... Money is Tight!!! What a Pity!!! Would of Made a Great Shot!!!

I shot this picture in Cambridge MA, on the MIT campus. The Ray and Maria Stata Center was designed by Pritzker-Prize winning Frank Gehry and finished in 2004. It is a very interesting building because of its many faces, angles and parts either made of bricks or metal.
To shoot this picture, I set up the camera touching the lower part of the building, in order to accentuate the leading lines and perspectives. I wanted to instill this feeling of looking up at a very high and menacing tower, a little bit like that of a medieval Castle, or something that people would use to reach Heaven, just like the biblical Tower of Babel.

Update on the wheelhouse. I removed the steelstructure for the sunscreens. It was present on the ship when it was build, but when launched it was removed. I have made a modification on the windows of the bridge. The first version shows the use of windows 1 x 2 x 2 without sil as windows. But that did not stroke with the real apperance of the bridge. I changed the windows into transclear panels 1 x 2 x 2 and used white stickers to get the right look. I have tried several snot constructions, but not one of them was good enough. Besides that I would have lost the black plates that sits, at the botom of all the walls, around the whole wheelhouse.
