Esso gas station, Boulevard René Lévesque, on Nuns' island, Montreal @ night.
design by mies van der rohe, 1969
simply awesome.
for total beinahe nichts: on black
[edit 2009] after 40 years the most beautiful gasstation in the world is now closed :-(
[edit 2012] the building saved and turned into La Station, a community centre.

Door de platformwagen, me alle wielen in een andere stand, te draaien is de lastverdelingsbalk gereed voor montage.
After turning, with all the wheels from the SPMT turned, the steelstructured is brought to its place.
Louis Henry Sullivan (1856-1924) and his firm of Adler & Sullivan were the architects for the Guaranty Building (also known as the Prudential Building) in Buffalo, New York; completed in 1895, this early steel skyscraper clad in terra cotta, the superbly executed decoration does not obscure the clarity of expression of the structural elements of this landmark early modern design
This massive 8 acre building has been de-skinned in recent years allowing the impressive framework to be exposed.

...as seen from the mine head tower. The Zeche Zollern / Zollern coal mine was the first industrial complex in Germany to be officially protected and preserved as a historic monument. Since 1969 the site and the structures have been completely restored. Now they are operated as an industrial museum. The mine has been built between 1898 and 1904. It was designed as an exemplary complex of that time. The ground plan was conceived to resemble a castle-like pattern with three wings and an open space with trees in the center.

In the heart of Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania, lies a captivating scene of rustic wood and timeless steel. A narrow wooden walking bridge spans a gentle stream, surrounded by vibrant green vegetation, embracing the serene essence of nature. As the bridge guides the viewer’s gaze, it leads to the remnants of the once mighty Kinzua Viaduct, a historic landmark and a testament to human ingenuity.
The Kinzua Viaduct, also known as Kinzua Bridge, was once an engineering marvel, showcasing the strength and determination of American industry. Unfortunately, a powerful tornado in 2003 tore through the area, causing significant damage to the steel trestle structure. Today, the remaining sections of the bridge serve as a reminder of its former glory, standing tall against the backdrop of a dramatic sky, casting an air of mystery over the picturesque landscape.
Located within the Kinzua Bridge State Park, this breathtaking setting attracts nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers like Duncan Rawlinson. The juxtaposition of the wooden bridge’s simplicity and the steel viaduct’s grandiosity creates an environmental contrast that encapsulates the intersection of nature and human ambition.
The Kinzua Gorge offers visitors an opportunity for outdoor exploration and adventure. The observation platform on the Kinzua Skywalk provides a unique vantage point for admiring the gorge’s views and fall foliage. As the trail meanders through the forest, it offers a tranquil escape into the majestic beauty of the Pennsylvanian wilderness.
Experience the awe-inspiring fusion of natural beauty and historic engineering in this timeless American landscape. Whether you’re seeking an outdoor adventure or simply appreciate the serene elegance of nature, the Kinzua Gorge will surely leave a lasting impression.
The Basilica Minore de San Sebastian, better known as San Sebastian Church, is a Roman Catholic minor basilica in Manila, the Philippines. It is the seat of the Parish of San Sebastian and the National Shrine of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel.
Completed in 1891, San Sebastian Church is noted for its architectural features. An example of the revival of Gothic architecture in the Philippines, it is the only all-steel church or basilica in Asia. It has also been implausibly reputed to be the first prefabricated building in the world, and more plausibly claimed as the only prefabricated steel church in the world. In 2006, San Sebastian Church was included in the Tentative List for possible designation as a World Heritage Site. It was designated as a National Historical Landmark by the Philippine government in 1973.
San Sebastian Church is under the care of The Order of the Augustinian Recollects, who also operate a college adjacent to the basilica. It is located at Plaza del Carmen, at the eastern end of Claro M. Recto Street, in Quiapo, Manila.

The beautiful structure of the London Eye, London (UK).
The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, is a giant 135-metre tall Ferris wheel situated on the banks of the River Thames, in London, England. The London Eye is located at the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames in the London Borough of Lambeth, between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge.
The wheel carries 32 ovoidal passenger capsules, attached to its external circumference, each capsule representing one of the London Boroughs. Each 10 tonne capsule holds a maximum of 25 people. It rotates at 26 cm per second (about 0.9 km/h) so that one revolution takes about 30 minutes. The wheel does not stop to take on passengers: the rotation rate is slow enough to allow passengers to walk on and off the moving capsules at ground level.
The panoramic view over the metropolis of London from the Eye is one of the most beautiful of the city.

Fire protection is very important as far as buildings steelwork is concerned ,When the temperature of a fire (both ambient & direct) reaches the required temperature for the intumescent coating to react and become active, the coating swells and expands to a carbonaceous char. The expansion (swell) of the char can be 50 to 100 times its initial applied thickness. The carbonaceous char act as an insulative, protecting the steels from collapsing.

Sanibel Beach Lighthouse is located in Lighthouse Beach Park on Sanibel Island in Lee County, Florida. The Address is 112 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel, Florida. The Lighthouse is directly across San Carlos Bay from Fort Meyers Beach, Fort Meyers, FL.
Disclaimer: This photograph was taken in May 1998 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35 mm SLR with Color Print Film, when I was just learning photograph, so it is very soft & grainy. I scanned the Negative, and used Photoshop Elements™ to correct the Exposure and Saturation to generate the Digital Digital Image, presented here on flickr™.
