Though these may simply detract from the scenery, I actually find the fascinating with all their angles and shapes.

Structure - holds and protects. I got lucky with this one. The light was changing and fast. 4 images merged with a little crop.

This is a partial view of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, showing a group of tourists reaching the top of the bridge on a guided tour. I did this later the same day - but you can't take a camera with you (or indeed, anything else that's loose) as they're petrified of things dropping onto unsuspecting people or vehicles below. The tourists are all wearing overalls provided by the tour organiser and everything else (glasses, etc.) are attached to them.
The bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long and Co. Ltd of Middlesbrough and opened in 1932. It is the sixth longest spanning-arch bridge in the world and the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134m from top to water level. It was also the world's widest long-span bridge, at 48.8m wide until a new bridge was completed in Vancouver in 2012.
Le Mans se trouve à la confluence des rivières de la Sarthe et de l'Huisne. Ancienne capitale provinciale du Maine et du Perche à partir du xvie siècle, elle voit le mariage de Geoffroy V d'Anjou et Mathilde l'Emperesse, fille du roi d'Angleterre, jetant ainsi les bases de l'Empire Plantagenêt, et la naissance d'Henri II. Le vieux Mans, dénommé Cité Plantagenêt, est le quartier historique de la ville.
I've been in the succulent greenhouse. It's not very exciting there, cacti and all that. But when I saw this plant through the branches, I had to make a pictures.
Eventhough I generally do not like heights, the view from up there is breath-taking, except for the glass-bottom floor! :-O It was exceptionally beautiful as the sun was setting...very romantic :-)

The structure was built in 1910 as soldiers' quarters for the men of the Royal Artillery who manned the Central and West Batteries. On the night of 18 December 1941, Japanese troops successfully crossed the Lei Yue Mun Channel from Devil's Peak and were engaged in fierce fighting with the defenders in this building. After stubborn resistance, the defenders, overwhelmed by superior numbers and firepower, were forced to retreat.

Here you see some impressions taken from an old, ruinous house in prerow. I like it to play with those morbide structures ...
One of the keys to shooting Epic Landscape Photography is exalting the photograph's soul via golden ratio compositions, thusly wedding the photographic art to the divine proportion by which life itself was designed and exalted.

Greetings flickr friends! I am working on several books on "epic photography," and I recently finished a related one titled: The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Why the Fibonacci Numbers Exalt Beauty and How to Create PHI Compositions in Art, Design, & Photography: An Artistic and Scientific Introduction to the Golden Mean . Message me on facebook for a free review copy!

The Golden Ratio also informs the design of the golden revolver on all the swimsuits and lingerie, as well as the 45surf logo!
The Golden Number Ratio Principle: Dr. E’s Golden Ratio Principle: The golden ratio exalts beauty because the number is a characteristic of the mathematically and physically most efficient manners of growth and distribution, on both evolutionary and purely physical levels. The golden ratio ensures that the proportions and structure of that which came before provide the proportions and structure of that which comes after. Robust, ordered growth is naturally associated with health and beauty, and thus we evolved to perceive the golden ratio harmonies as inherently beautiful, as we saw and felt their presence in all vital growth and life—in the salient features and proportions of humans and nature alike, from the distribution of our facial features and bones to the arrangements of petals, leaves, and sunflowers seeds. As ratios between Fibonacci Numbers offer the closest whole-number approximations to the golden ratio, and as seeds, cells, leaves, bones, and other physical entities appear in whole numbers, the Fibonacci Numbers oft appear in nature’s elements as “growth’s numbers.” From the dawn of time, humanity sought to salute their gods in art and temples exalting the same proportion by which all their vital sustenance and they themselves had been created—the golden ratio.
Ansel Adams is not only my favorite photographer, but he is one of the greatest photographers and artists of all time. And just like great artists including Michelangelo, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Leonardo da Vinci, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Botticelli, and Picasso, Ansel used the golden ratio and divine proportions in his epic art.
Not so long ago I discovered golden regions in many of his famous public domain his 8x10 aspect ratio photographs. I call these golden harmony regions "regions of golden action" or "ROGA"S, as seen here:

And too, I created some videos highlighting Ansel's use of the golden harmonies. Enjoy!

You could walk kilometres along a deserted sandy beach. Since I discovered this sand structures.
Man konnte kilometerweit am menschenleeren Sandstrand wandern. Da entdeckte ich diese Strukturen.
Vessel is a structure and visitor attraction built as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in Manhattan, New York City, New York. Built to plans by the British designer Thomas Heatherwick, the elaborate honeycomb-like structure rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings for visitors to climb. Vessel is the main feature of the 5-acre (2.0 ha) Hudson Yards Public Square. Funded by Hudson Yards developer Related Companies, its final cost is estimated to have been $200 million.
