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.

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.
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.

This historic bridge was engineered by James Dredge in 1854. It was used by traffic until 1932. It now serves as a viewpoint for the River Oich and is right beside the Caledonian Canal. This is a nice place to stop between Fort Augustus and Invergarry.
April 30, 2022 - Konica Minolta on Kleine-Gartmanplantsoen. I love how the steel supports for the sign are attached on the side of the building into the floor line. Amsterdam, Netherlands.
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.

I saw nine men working on a steel structure when I was on my way home. I quickly took out my camera and took this interesting shot!
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.

Shot from Leeds Road, you can see a large chunk of the steel structure of the Gasometre has been demolished, also you can see the molten metal from the Oxy Acetylene Cutting Torch spraying everywhere.
