Maybe that should read "Fisherwoman"? There seems to be a necklace of brown feathers which would indicate a female.
Quite oblivious to boats and people around the Manly Marina as it lands with its catch on a wharf structure.
An old shot slightly improved.

An urban composition drawn from the sharp silhouettes and mirrored facades of Kesklinn, Tallinn, Estonia
Captured with Canon EOS-1D X Mark II + EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM.
The upper walkway of the blast furnace complex is illuminated by direct sunlight, creating strong linear shadows from the overhead steel structures. The reflective surfaces of pipes and ducts emphasize the geometry of the industrial environment. This lighting condition provides high contrast, making structural details clearly visible for photographic documentation.

There is something about steel railroad bridges over major waterways. It is in part their massive size that dwarfs the trains that use them that makes them awe inspiring. This bridge carried Wisconsin Central tracks between the two Sault Ste. Maries in Ontario and Michigan. The photo was made during a boat tour of the Soo Locks. (Scanned from color negative film)
Steel railway lift bridge, officially called "Koningshavenbrug" (English: King's Dock Bridge) but soothingly nicknamed "De Hef" (English: The Lift) by the people of Rotterdam, which became the city's showpiece for many years. It was designed by architect J.P. Joosting. "De Hef" is no longer operational, and is listed as an industrial monument.
The railway bridge connected the Noordereiland with the Feijenoord area to the south of the city center. It was the first bridge of her kind in Western Europe. It replaced a railway swing bridge over the Koningshaven that was completed in 1877 and was opened in the following year by King Willem III with great festivity. "De Hef" replaced this swing bridge in 1927, but the bridge elements on either side connecting with the shore were reused from the old bridge, dating them to 1877. The bridge formed part of an elevated track straight through Rotterdam, which was very special at that time!
On 15 September 1993 the Willemspoortunnel (English: Willem railway tunnel) came into operation and the lift bridge became superfluous. The movable part of the bridge is now permanently in a lifted position between the 60 meter high towers to allow ship traffic to pass. The bridge is lit during the night.

This photograph is a striking study in light, darkness, and modern architectural geometry, set against the backdrop of San Francisco's historic waterfront—a familiar, yet completely reimagined view of the Embarcadero. Rendered in dramatic black and white, the image immediately focuses your attention on the huge, perfectly illuminated white ring or halo that dominates the center of the frame. This circle of light is a contemporary sculpture or architectural lighting feature, placed directly within the arched transom of a large, glass-and-steel building facade, likely near one of the major piers or cultural institutions that populate the area.
The monochromatic treatment strips away the distraction of color, emphasizing the powerful contrast between the brilliant light source and the deep black shadows of the surrounding structure. The entire composition is a masterclass in symmetry. The arch of the building and the grid of the windows are perfectly centered, providing a strong, ordered frame for the glowing circle. The repeating vertical lines of the doors and the horizontal window mullions guide the eye inward, creating a rhythmic, almost hypnotic pattern that locks the light source into place. This structural precision suggests that the building itself, despite its historical context, has embraced a sleek, contemporary aesthetic.
Beyond the glass doors, the interior is visible, hinting at an art gallery, a tech office, or a modern event space. You can just make out geometric patterns on the walls inside—sharp, angular shapes that echo the strong lines of the window grid and offer a further contrast to the perfect curve of the illuminated ring. This interplay between the interior and exterior suggests a threshold, a passage between the utilitarian history of the port (implied by the setting) and the city's modern, art-forward identity. The image feels less about a place and more about an idea: the intersection of raw industry, symbolized by the heavy steel framing and arch, with pure, minimalist form, represented by the perfect circle of light. It captures a moment of quiet, powerful modernity on a street known for its bustling daytime life, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the beauty found in urban geometry and intense visual contrast.

The majestic bridge rises from the fog like a silent guardian connecting two worlds. The mist, so typical of San Francisco, becomes its ally, wrapping the steel structure in a veil of mystery.
The black and white contrast enhances its power, highlighting the perfect geometry of its lines and the strength of the design that has made it an eternal icon.
Steel-riveted pillars holding up the # 6 Metro train tracks as they cross the two-level Bir-Hakeim Bridge in Paris. I previously posted a black & white image of this same photo, which is shown side-by-side with this one in the Paris album. I'm curious to see which is more popular!
Industrial scene, photographed at the break of dawn. I used dynamic blending technique to fuse the HDR base and a single frame exposure of the men beneath the giant steel structure.

Saamis Tepee
Originally constructed for the Calgary 1988 Winter Olympics, the Saamis Tepee is a tribute to Canada’s native heritage. After being moved to Medicine Hat, assembly of the major structural elements began October 20th, 1991, and was completed in less than one week. The World’s Largest Tepee is built entirely of steel with a concrete foundation and is ringed with 10 large circular story-boards depicting aspects of native culture and history. There are ten story-boards built into the tepee depicting native culture and history. The colours of the structure are symbolic, white for purity, red for the rising and setting sun and blue for the flowing river. The Saamis Tepee has a foundation weight of 800 metric tons, and the dead load of the structure is 200 metric tons. The main masts of the Tepee measure 215 feet (equivalent to a 20 story building!) and the diameter of the Tepee is 160 feet. There are 960 bolts holding the Tepee together.

Cromer Pier is a Grade II listed seaside pier. There are records of a pier in Cromer back as far as 1391, although then it was more of a jetty. In the year 1582, Queen Elizabeth I, in a letter to the inhabitants of Cromer granted rights to export wheat, barley and malt with the proceeds to be used for the maintenance and well-being of the pier and the town of Cromer.
