Close up of the supporting structure behind the Lovell Radio Telescope at the Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire.
When you visit the site and stand close to this you can’t help but stare in awe at the sheer scale of the Telescope dish and the supporting structure behind it. The two main altitude bearings are made from two 15” gun turret bearings from the World War II battleships HMS Revenge and Royal Sovereign.
I’d love to have been present in the fifties when Sir Bernard Lovell slapped the plans on the table for this one. If only to amend them with the foot note “ Ensure all parts are present before assembly”.
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.
I took these images with a Nikon F3 camera, PC-Nikkor 2.8/35mm lens, and Ilford XP2 super.

The former Nissan Dealership site is to become the new police station for Huddersfield.
A new regional HQ is being built in Dewsbury, while Huddersfield the larger of the two towns will get a reduced, in size and service, police station.
Demolition has finished and erecting the steel work has begun and is gaining pace in this shot taken from Tesco car park.

Some waterworks around the premise of Tokyo Dome. I love how the colorful lights from the illumination, steel structures, and water reflection play around in the picture. Include also my friend Yayu in the background :)
I remember on Sundays; my mother would take me over to shop on 13th Ave (Boro Park) cause of the "Blue Laws" and we'd pass these groups of older Italian men playing Bocce Ball in the dirt under the cool shade of the L .
And once in a great while I'd see the train that ran on street level. My mother said it delivered the bananas from the boat.
I never found out if she was pulling my leg or what..
I miss dem ghosts.
The choice to shoot tight and vertical against a structure this horizontal is a statement in itself. Rather than the postcard panorama that takes in both spans and the skyline behind, I've isolated a single tower of the western suspension span and let the suspension cables fan outward beyond the frame's edge — implying a larger system without needing to show it whole. The roadbed cuts diagonally from lower left to upper right with real force, the Warren truss underskirting rendered in that characteristic warm ochre that reads almost bronze in direct sun. This is Charles Purcell's engineering made graphic: the X-braced tower legs, the stacked anchorage pier rising from the bay, the catenary geometry overhead reduced to parallel lines against a clean blue field. Shooting from water level — likely from a ferry or a vessel running the Embarcadero side — compresses the tower's base against the pier foundation and eliminates any foreground distraction. The Oakland container terminals visible at the horizon remind you this is a working industrial crossing, not a monument, even when treated photographically as one. Within my Bay Bridge series, this frame sits at the opposite end from my wide Embarcadero vantage shots: maximum compression, maximum structure, the engineering read as pure form.

Another in the PP series from my first survey of the space. I'll be returning in a couple of weeks for more project meetings and am hoping to spend atleast a half day back in the Plant for more surveying and more shots of the place. I really loved the way this one came out showing the richness and layers of this Building within. The structure, large high windows, the layering of levels and the open atrium space left.

One World Trade Center (also known as 1 World Trade Center, One WTC and 1 WTC; the current building was dubbed the "Freedom Tower" during initial basework) refers to the main building of the new World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It is the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere, and the fourth-tallest in the world. The 104-story supertall structure shares a numeric name with the northern Twin Tower of the original World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The new skyscraper stands on the northwest corner of the 16-acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site, on the site of the original 6 World Trade Center. The building is bordered by West Street to the west, Vesey Street to the north, Fulton Street to the south, and Washington Street to the east.
Construction of below-ground utility relocations, footings, and foundations for the new building began on April 27, 2006. On March 30, 2009, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey confirmed that the building would be officially known by its legal name of "One World Trade Center", rather than its colloquial name of "Freedom Tower". The building is 104 standard floors high, but the tower has only 94 actual stories.
One World Trade Center became the tallest structure in New York City on April 30, 2012, when it surpassed the height of the Empire State Building. The tower's steel structure was topped out on August 30, 2012. On May 10, 2013, the final component of the skyscraper's spire was installed, making the building, including its spire, reach a total height of 1,776 feet (541 m). Its height in feet is a deliberate reference to the year when the United States Declaration of Independence was signed. The building opened on November 3, 2014. The new World Trade Center complex will initially include three other high-rise office buildings, which will be built along Greenwich Street, and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, located just south of One World Trade Center, where the original Twin Towers stood. The construction of the new building is part of an effort to memorialize and rebuild following the destruction of the original World Trade Center complex.
The top floor of One World Trade Center is 1,368 feet (417 m) above ground level, along with a 33 ft 4 in (10.16 m) parapet; this is identical to the roof height of the original One World Trade Center. The tower's antenna/spire brings it to a pinnacle height of 1,776 feet (541 m), a figure intended to symbolize the year 1776, when the United States Declaration of Independence was signed. If the antenna is included in the building's height, as stated by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), One World Trade Center surpasses the height of Taipei 101 (1,671-foot (509 m)), is the world's tallest all-office building, and the fourth-tallest skyscraper in the world, behind the Burj Khalifa, Abraj Al Bait, and Shanghai Tower.
One World Trade Center is the second-tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere, as the CN Tower in Toronto exceeds 1 WTC's pinnacle height by approximately 12 m (39.4 ft). The Chicago Spire, with a planned height of 2,000 feet (610 m), was expected to exceed the height of One World Trade Center, but its construction was canceled due to financial difficulties in 2009.

A while ago I got a Walimex Pro 8 mm Fisheye lens. Today I took it for a few test shots with my Canon 60D.
The framework of a power pole is one of them.

Morey's Adventure Pier is one of the three Morey's Piers along the Wildwood, New Jersey Boardwalk. Adventure Pier is located at Spencer Ave and the Boardwalk. This is a night photo of the "Great White" (Out and Back) Wooden (style) Roller Coaster installed by "Custom Coasters International" in 1996, featuring "Philadelphia Toboggan Company" Trains.
The Coaster Structure is Steel, but it is built to look and feel like a Wooden Roller Coaster.
