Here is another photograph from the Vision Explorers Chicago workshop I attended with a bunch of amazing photographers last month.
The Hancock Tower was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Its construction lasted several years in the mid-1960s, and it is now one of the most famous buildings in Chicago.
It was hard to come up with an original vision for it, but I found interesting the idea of opposing this solid wall to the delicateness and intricate complexity of the building's metal structure, shooting up the sky as if it was a steel monolyth.

The electromagnetic field under this high tension power lines was pretty strong that I could feel a little tingling sensation on my head.
Only in Malaysia you can find people living nearby these structures and in this case of this plant nursery, people working underneath them. Sigh.
North of here boats docked and were unloaded to streets and railroad cars. It was all business.
Today ships are south of here to unload containers.
This steel structure appears to be much older than the 12th avenue South bridge, built in 1911. Now known as the Doctor Jose Rizal Bridge.
The Bay Bridge doesn’t announce the morning—it receives it. Across these views, the structure stretches low and deliberate, cutting a clean line between water and sky as the city eases into daylight. Warm light gathers at the horizon, then slides slowly across the bay, turning steel into silhouette and water into texture.
From the shoreline, the bridge reads as infrastructure first: cables, towers, and span doing exactly what they were built to do. As the light builds, the city behind it starts to surface—brick, glass, and vertical density rising carefully along the edge. Nothing competes. Everything layers. The water holds steady, absorbing color while keeping its own rhythm.
These are not dramatic moments. They’re the kind locals recognize without naming—early hours when the bay feels calm, functional, and expansive all at once. The bridge becomes less of a landmark and more of a constant, stitching neighborhoods and eras together while the city wakes beneath it. San Francisco shows its best side here: patient, engineered, and quietly beautiful, long before the crowds arrive.

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.

The shipyard's tall gantry crane anchors the middle distance in this view down from a brushy hillside, its steel lattice silhouetted against a wide expanse of pale blue sky. Below, a long white warehouse building stretches along the waterline, its corrugated roof catching glints of light, while an open storage yard filled with tarps and equipment fans out toward the pier. The bay curves gently along the shoreline, calm and glassy, with faint hints of distant hills across the water. Wild grasses and shrubs crowd the immediate foreground, framing the industrial scene below and adding a note of untamed green to the otherwise engineered landscape. The elevated vantage point turns a working shipyard into something closer to a landscape composition, its geometry and scale laid out like a diagram from above.

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 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.

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.

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-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!

It is a steel viaduct built by the Erie Railroad between 1906 and 1909, and it spans the Moodna Creek valley at a height of 193 feet. Today, it carries both the Metro-North Port Jervis Line commuter trains and Norfolk Southern freight trains and is located near Salisbury Mills, NY.
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 is now finished.

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.
The demolition in this shot, is three quarters done on the external structure of the Gasometre
