These photographs document the platform area at Starnberg station, not the main station building. The visible structure consists primarily of historic iron columns and beams that remain in active use but show clear signs of aging: corrosion, flaking paint, and uneven maintenance. What was once a coherent architectural system has become a fragmented, utilitarian framework.
The original platform roofs are completely gone. In their place, the iron skeleton stands exposed to weather and light. Rather than being restored, the structure has been stabilized through added construction: scaffolding, bracing elements, and protective netting that cut across the original geometry. This creates a layered visual language of old infrastructure and temporary reinforcement.
A newer canopy appears only in selected areas, mainly above stair access points. This roof is made of corrugated sheet metal (Wellblech) and serves a purely functional role. It offers basic protection but no architectural continuity with the historic structure. Large sections of the platforms remain open.
The site reflects the character of a “lost place” in operation. It is neither fully preserved nor abandoned. Ongoing disputes between heritage protection (Denkmalschutz), ownership responsibilities, and questions of funding for repair and upkeep have left the platforms in a state of visual and structural limbo. The result is an environment where historical fabric survives, but without clear restoration strategy.
Access is partially restricted through fenced zones and controlled pathways. This affects circulation and accessibility, including limited or indirect wheelchair access. The station continues to function, yet the platform space feels provisional — maintained just enough to operate, but not enough to recover its former architectural identity.
From a photographic perspective, the focus lies on the exposed iron framework, the absence of the original roof, and the contrast between historic construction and pragmatic modern additions. The images document a transitional state: a working railway platform that visually reads as a relic.

Fort Lauderdale station is an inter-city rail station located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is served by Brightline, which connects Miami, West Palm Beach, and Orlando International Airport. The station is located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, on NW 2nd Avenue between Broward Boulevard and NW 4th Street, adjacent to the Broward County Transit's Central Terminal.
Construction for the station began in October 2014 with the demolition of existing structures on the site. The complex consists of an elevated concourse above an 800-foot-long (240 m), 35-foot-wide (11 m) island platform for the trains. The station is a modern-style structure with illuminated V-shaped columns supporting the upper concourse, echoing the designs of the Miami and West Palm Beach stations on the line. It was planned and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in association with Zyscovich Architects, and was completed in January 2018.

Hotel Añaza is the abandoned structure of a hotel or apartment block near Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. Construction was started by a German company in 1973, but was abandoned two years later, before the building was finished. As of 2025 the structure still exists, but it is pending demolition.(Wikipedia)

It had been raining on and off all morning but there’s always something to shoot. Taking shelter under the bridge I thought I’d snap the under structure of the SHB… it’s amazing this was constructed without any safety gear or ropes!

A utility pole that uses the minifigure zip line handles so that string can be fed through to link multiple poles together. Would work well for layouts I think. It's also made to be pretty sturdy. Free Instructions here: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-50464/MasterBuilderKTC/utility-p...
This black-and-white photograph captures the blend of traditional and modern architectural elements. The half-timbered details and distinctive gables add a touch of history to the building, while the symmetrical structure and clean lines exude modernity. The dramatic sky and the dark shadows cast across the facade heighten the mood of the image, emphasizing the contrasts between light and darkness. The scene feels almost cinematic, with the buildings standing as silent witnesses to both past and present times.

Boasting 35 hectares of greenery and 3,000 m² of ecological gardens promoting biodiversity, the Parc de la Villette is one of the largest and loveliest green spaces in Paris. A multi-disciplinary arts and culture venue, it attracts more than 10 million visitors each year.
With 26 bright red ‘follies’ – architectural structures designed by Bernard Tschumi – dotting the landscape (each devoted to a different cultural or leisure activity), the Parc de la Villette is one vast playground for Paris lovers.
