A 'flipped' shot of the Atomium in Brussels.
I remember seeing this iconic structure whilst on a coach tour of Europe when I was 13 years old. At that time we only got to see it from the outside so when I visited this time I was keen to explore the inside.

From Wikipedia : "The Atomium is a landmark building in Brussels (Belgium), originally constructed for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair (Expo 58). It is located on the Heysel Plateau, where the exhibition took place. It is now a museum.
Designed by the engineer André Waterkeyn and architects André and Jean Polak, it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall. Its nine 18 m (60 ft) diameter stainless steel clad spheres are connected, so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an α-iron (ferrite) crystal magnified 165 billion times. Tubes of 3 m (10 ft) diameter connect the spheres along the 12 edges of the cube and all eight vertices to the centre. They enclose stairs, escalators and a lift (in the central, vertical tube) to allow access to the five habitable spheres, which contain exhibit halls and other public spaces. The top sphere includes a restaurant which has a panoramic view of Brussels."

Another of my restored photos done as a painterly picture. This one of a bridge in a Japanese garden in San Antonio, Texas. Original photo was taken years ago.
Root structure of an old tree at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.

Taken back in July of 1991, here's the dragger "Commodore IV", retired after several decades of fishing and scalloping. She appears to have been deliberately scuttled and left in place as part of a breakwater. The structure off the bow is one of several extending to the left (south, then east), offering some protection for the south-facing structures along the shore. A newer stone breakwater has replaced this improvised version, part of a two section affair that almost completely surrounds the wharf area and associated buildings.
Driving out to Cape Forchu on the Yarmouth Bar Road (Rt 304), about a half mile past the "Lost to the Sea Memorial" the road crosses a small steel bridge that spans a channel connecting Yarmouth Harbor (south), to the bay (north). I parked near the bridge and grabbed a few photos of Commodore IV, plus another derelict dragger fifty yards east of the bridge. This second boat was in worst shape than its companion, no name being visible anywhere.
Commodore IV was built at the A. F. Theriault & Son boatyard in Meteghan River in 1963, with a gross weight of 176 tons, and according to a marine industry information website... was listed in 1992 as being "out of service" (no longer operating?). Most folks looking at this photo would agree that at the time I shot this image, she was most definitely "out of service" a year earlier than listed.
This image is a copy of an Ektachrome 100 transparency shot with a Pentax 6x7. It was made using a Nikon D3500 camera, a 55mm Micro-Nikkor lens, with a Nikon 4T close-up lens, and a Sigma 1.6x close-up lens mounted on the 4T.

Al nord del Solsonès, en una de les zones amb menys habitants de Catalunya, podeu trobar aquesta barreja d'allotjament japonès dins d'una masia catalana. Es tracta del Mas Puigpinós, ara convertit en hotel japonès, el que vindria a ser un ryokan (petit allotjament rural al Japó). Els propietaris són una parella formada per una catalana i un japonès, pel que tot l'hotel reflecteix aquesta barreja. De fet, la masia mateixa és propietat familiar des de fa segles (obviament per la part catalana).
L'estructura principal és obviament una preciosa masia d'origen medieval, al terme de Lladurs, prop de l'església de Timoneda (a Lladurs no hi ha poble propiament dit, només masies aillades). La part japonesa la trobareu en la decoració, el mobiliari (algunes habitacions tenen futons i tatami) i el menjar, plenament japonès però amb aires del paisatge del Solsonès. Només faltaria, sobretot als mesos freds de l'any, que tinguessin un onsen, però potser d'aquà un temps...

==============================
Picture taken with a Hasselblad 500 C/M, made in 1979; Carl Zeiss Planar f2.8/80mm lens; Ilford FP4+ film developed in Rodinal 1+25.
At the feet of the Catalan Pyrenees, in the comarca of Solsonès, one of the least populated areas of Catalonia, you can find this mixture of Japanese accommodation inside a Catalan manor (masia). This is Mas Puigpinós, now converted into a Japanese hotel, what you can call it a ryokan (small rural accommodation in Japan). The owners are a couple made up of a Catalan woman and a Japanese man, so the whole hotel reflects this mix. In fact, the manor itself has been family property for centuries (obviously on the Catalan side). Puigpinós means "pine hill" in Catalan.
The main structure is obviously a beautiful masia of medieval origin, in the district of Lladurs, near the church of Timoneda (in Lladurs there is no village proper, only isolated churches and manors). You will find the Japanese part in the decoration, the furniture (some rooms have futons and tatami mats) and the food, fully Japanese but with elements of the Solsonès landscape. The only thing missing, especially in the cold months of the year, would be for them to have an onsen, but maybe in a while...
how vulnerable and still are his movements in the busy city. the drawing of his face is like a map, much smaller than that of the city. he himself is also getting smaller in the disappearance of time.
This Romanticist conglomerate of architectural styles is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The structure has been built and rebuilt in this place on the Sintra Mountains since the Middle Ages when an apparition of The Virgin Mary was reported. The Pena Palace is visible from Lisbon and is one of Portugal's best known buildings.

This is the second shot from my mid-week night photography excursion.
This bunker is a pretty amazing structure... especially at night.
The graffiti inside and out is beautiful. This is a great example where well done graffiti can improve a structure. I am enjoying photographing graffiti and street art and I put an invitation out to any Sydney street artists... if you would like me to take photographs of your works of art... just email me at brentbat@gmail.com, I'd love to check it out.
