Great light, and wonderful structural plants, with a cobweb, seen on a late evening walk close to home
For me, the re-arrangements made by flickr to the 'Recent Activity' were a game changer. I will continue to post until I find a better platform. And I want ro keep in touch with flickr friends.
Thanks for over 4 and a half million views, every comment and every fave! Des
(full colour mix) Coleyville country. ...from an Easter Monday drive with Ernie to Rosevale, via Coleyville, and up the Kerwitz Road. Ernie is 91 and retired from his diary farm in the area about 34 years ago. There are changes in farmers' approaches in the area as the diary industry structurally adjusts to a modern economy. There are very few diary farms left. Most of the land has been given over to beef cattle (as with this one), horse studs and hobby farms. Whether or not this is a good thing remains to be seen...

The Kelpies are 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures depicting kelpies (shape-shifting water spirits), located between Falkirk and Grangemouth, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland. Towering above the Forth & Clyde Canal, The Kelpies are a feat of engineering, each made with 300 tonnes of structural steel; a steel frame with stainless steel cladding. The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott and were completed in October 2013 to form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal. The Kelpies are a monument to horse-powered heritage across Scotland.
On the left is the Clydesdale horse named Duke and on the right Baron.

Leipzig, Stadtbad
Nebenraum der Damensauna 1. Klasse mit Durchblick auf die Arkaden
Die repräsentative Dreiflügelanlage des Leipziger Stadtbades im Stil des Historismus wurde nach dreijähriger Bauzeit 1916 eröffnet und musste im Juli 2004 aufgrund des schlechten baulichen Zustands geschlossen werden. Herzstück des Stadtbads war die Damensauna im maurischen Stil, die heute unter Denkmalschutz steht.
Leipzig, Municipal Baths (Stadtbad)
Antechamber to the first-class women’s sauna, with a view through to the arcades
The imposing, three-winged Leipzig municipal bath complex—designed in the Historicist style—opened in 1916 after a three-year construction period, but was forced to close in July 2004 due to its poor structural condition. The centerpiece of the facility was the women’s sauna, designed in a Moorish style, which is now a protected historic landmark.

Looking up at a recently built structure, St James's Market, Central London. Architects: Make Architects. This development was RIBA London Award winner in 2018.
A woonerf is an area with slow traffic. In was "invented" by the Dutch townplanners.
I made also a video of the area where I live.
the Porch of the Maidens, also known as the Caryatid Porch, located on the southern side of the Erechtheion temple on the Acropolis of Athens, Greece. Six sculpted female figures, called caryatids serve as supporting columns instead of traditional columns. These figures, draped in flowing garments, are designed to appear elegant while also providing structural support. The originals are now housed in museums, with replicas in place on the temple.

Detail shot of Musée d'Orsay, an art gallery in Paris, France, on the Left Bank of the River Seine. It is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux-Arts railway station built in 1898 - 1900.
The station was designed by three architects, namely Lucien Magne, Émile Bénard and Victor Laloux.
I understand that the building ceased being a railway station in the 1970s and, at one point, it was threatened with demolition.
The museum officially opened in December 1986.

A view up into the canopy on a misty morning in Little Wittenham Wood, South Oxfordshire. I was taken by the snaking structure of the branches as the reach up into the sky.
I was thankful, that I got the chance to be there and I am curious if you guess which famous building this is ...
the photo is about Structural analysis to show how the bars and beams are aranged for engineering decision ...
the concrete core is there for the load bearing function while the metal columns take the tensile forces that are important from wind on the building above the glass roof ...
tomorrow I will show you the building from the outside ...

Sometimes you think nothing is a coincidence. Moments after finishing this GIMPed abstract of "The Wave", I saw a photograph that had many similarities. So I copied the very suitable title of that photo.
