Obviously not a photo that I took today. Rather it is one that I found languishing in a folder of photos that I wanted to come back to later…so I did.
A pre-spring hydrangea in my nighbourhood caught my eye earlier this year. I love the filamentous structure that holds the dried petals together long after the blooms have faded.
I just didn’t feel like picking up the camera today so I opted for playing with some earlier images instead.
I sometimes think that separately, some new buildings are truely amazing. However, when you see them as part of a cityscape, they just add to the total clutter of a modern city.
I find this building, (or parts of it), to be quite amazing. Unfortunately, the adjacent glass & steel frame buildings does not match thereby just creating clutter.
(sorry for this ranting)
Thanks for stopping by.
All comments, ,hints and opinions are most welcome.

Another source of popular information is Cities of the Underworld, a documentary series that ran for three seasons on the History Channel starting in 2007. This series roamed around the world, showing little-known underground structures in remote locales, as well as right under the feet of densely packed city-dwellers.

Horseshoe Bay’s Boat House is like no other. Imagine walking down the pier and into this soaring and elegant structure to show your friends the handsome Chris-Craft powerboat that dwells there, maybe take them for a spin around the harbour? The Boat House includes a wood decked gathering hall that is the perfect on-water venue for a wine-tasting, a pilates workshop or a sailing demo. Upstairs, there is a resident’s lounge, a come-and go casual perch where you can enjoy watching the passing variety of harbour vessels or chat with your neighbours.
Inside there is a multi-purpose hall with panoramic harbour views, down a flexible accordion stair to the floating dock is the permanent home of the Chris-Craft Corsair 25. On the exterior, a post and beam wooden structure announces Horseshoe Bay’s dedication to craft. Set between the expressed columns and beams are glass panels in both transparent and translucent versions, ensuring that the boat house glows like a lantern by night, becoming a new landmark for the entire harbour.

In Liverpool we concentrated on the Anglican and Roman Catholic Cathedrals. These two impressive structures face each other at either end of Hope Street and are about mile apart. As you approach the Roman Catholic cathedral you are greeted by a very different architectural form. I first saw this soon after it was built when I was at art school in the 1960s and we came to the Walker Gallery. I fell in love with the form and the way it seems to soar to the heavens. I know it is known all around as Paddy's Wigwam but I think it is so successful.
Once inside more modern splendour greets you with wonderful use of the light through stained glass and through the placement of artificial lighting.
These are tricky exposures and I used the Leica M11's high ISO sensitivity to help capture these.
The cathedral's official title is Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ The King. It was originally designed by Pugin as a traditional church. This was started with the Lady Chapel but got no further. Some 60 years later Lutyen's designed a cathedral based around a dome like St Pauls but that came to a dead end. Adrian Gilbert Scott downscaled the design and this final shape was the responsibility of Sir Frederick Gibberd’s (1908-1984) who had a much tighter budget.

Parking structure and urban scene near the Highline Park in New York City
When in New York City... visit the Highline Park, as we did on this 2010 summer visit. For those who may not know, the Highline Park is a novel New York location, a park high above the streets that occupies the right of way of an old elevated railway. It is widely regarded as one of the most innovative public spaces in this city, and it really is a remarkable place.
It is also a great place to do photography. There are plenty of people subjects there, and there is all of the other stuff that is worth shooting in New York, plus the elevated perspective provides a lot of views that are different from those seen from street level. We've all seen this urban parking structures, which stack cars up several deep in order to make more efficient use of limited space. But we don't often see them from above, where the metal framing suggests planes that aren't visible from below but which connect in interesting ways with the angled lines and planes of the other nearby buildings.

The Constitution of 1812 Bridge, also known like La Pepa Bridge (El puente de la Constitución de 1812 or Puente de La Pepa in Spanish), is a new bridge across the Bay of Cadiz, linking Cadiz with Puerto Real in mainland Spain.
Cadiz's first bridge, the Carranza bridge, was inaugurated in 1969, and is now crossed by some 40,000 vehicles per day. In 1982 the Spanish government accepted the need for a second bridge.
It will have two 180m pylons, one in the sea and the other in Cabezuelas Harbour, a 540 meters span and a 69 meters of vertical clearance. The bridge also includes a 150 meters removal span. The bridge is actually on service.
It is the second bridge that crosses over to Cádiz from the mainland, after Carranza bridge, and one of the bridges of greater height in Europe with gauge of 69 meters and 5 kilometers in total length. It will be a suspension bridge with large towers: 187 meters of the sea and 181 meters of earth. Its the third access to the city, along with the isthmus San Fernando and said Carranza bridge. Given the large width of the board, it will be a bridge high capacity communications: motorway with two lanes in each direction and two lanes reserved for metropolitan public transport such as the new tram system.
The bill was drafted by the engineer of roads, canals and ports Javier Manterola. The works were scheduled for completion in 2012, coinciding with the bicentenary of the Spanish Constitution of 1812 which was written in Cádiz. However, due to cuts in public works required by the current economic crisis, the work is more than three years late.
In summer 2013 the work had progressed but at a slower pace. Later, since early 2014 the work progressed at a good pace, highlighting the installation of its cable-stayed span and hiring more staff working every day (including night shifts). In the first half of 2015, the bridge structure is completed, providing full completion in September of the same year.[2]
As data highlights:
The earlier draft described a arch bridge whose total length was 2.3 kilometer y 55 meters.
The total length of the current project, viaducts and links is 5 kilometers: 3096 meters on the bridge of which 1655 meters will be over the sea, with a main span of 540 meters record of Spain, with one hundred meters more than the bridge engineer Carlos Fernández Casado, famous engineer of roads, canals and ports, the reservoir Barrios de Luna. Besides the vain is the third largest in Europe suspended class, after Rio-Antirio Bridge and Normandy bridge.
The maximum height above the sea level is 69 meters, with two pylons 187 meters, making it one of the tallest bridges in Europe.
They are 30 meters higher than the pylons between both sides of the Bay.

Life is sometimes like this photo. We try to go forward towards our goals and aims. But the world around us can distract us from our target. But together, it makes life worth living and beautiful.

Under German legislation (Road Traffic Licensing Regulation or StVZO), winter tyres must be marked with the M+S symbol. Individuals looking for additional safety with regard to the good driving and braking properties of winter tyres should only purchase models with the snowflake symbol. "Snow tyre" means a tyre whose tread pattern, tread compound or structure are primarily designed to achieve in snow conditions a performance better than that of a normal tyre with regard to its ability to initiate or maintain vehicle motion. Germany does not stipulate a specific time at which winter tyres must be used. Instead, drivers have a duty to switch to winter tyres if driving conditions call for it. In wintry conditions (i.e. black ice, packed snow, snow slush or icy roads), only vehicles with M+S tyres are permitted on the roads. Individuals who do not drive in snow and ice can, in theory, continue using summer tyres even in wintertime. However, as summer tyres have material compounds specially developed for hot conditions, their use during winter is extremely dangerous and not recommended!
