The Fürstenzug in Dresden, Germany, is a large mural of a mounted procession of the rulers of Saxony. It was originally painted between 1871 and 1876 to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Wettin Dynasty, Saxony's ruling family. In order to make the work weatherproof, it was replaced with approximately 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles between 1904 and 1907. With a length of 102 metres (335 ft), it is known as the largest porcelain artwork in the world. The mural displays the ancestral portraits of the 35 margraves, electors, dukes and kings of the House of Wettin between 1127 and 1904.
The Fürstenzug is located on the outer wall of the Stallhof (Stables Courtyard) of Dresden Castle.
By 1589, the outer wall of the recently built Stallhof (Stables Courtyard) of the Dresden Castle was already decorated with a fresco.
For the upcoming 800th anniversary of the House of Wettin in 1889, another stucco version of a large-scale mural was commissioned. It was painted by the artist Wilhelm Walther between 1871 and 1876. Since the picture rapidly deteriorated, it was replaced with about 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles between 1904 and 1907. The mural depicts the 35 Saxon margraves, electors, dukes and kings from Conrad, Margrave of Meissen, who ruled in the 12th century, to George of Saxony who was king for only two years in the 20th century. The only ones missing are Heinrich I von Eilenburg (c. 1089) and the last king of Saxony, Frederick Augustus III, who ruled from 1904 to 1918. Also shown are 59 scientists, artisans, craftsmen, children and farmers.
Only minimal damage to the tiles resulted from the February 13, 1945 bombing of Dresden.
Sporting Group: With his sporty weatherproof coat and can-do attitude, the noble German Wirehaired Pointer is a versatile, sturdy gundog who thrives on outdoor activity. Around the house, the GWP is an eager, affectionate, and amusing family companion. Standing as high as 26 inches at the shoulder, GWPs are a bit taller and heavier than their close relative, the German Shorthaired Pointer. GWPs are balanced, well muscled, resilient, agile, and generally built to beat the bushes all day long without tiring.

The wagon is an IIA high capacity weatherproof hopper and it can be seen that its bogie is not at the end of the wagon but set further back. Internally these wagons have four separate hoppers (hopper 3 and hopper 4 can be observed labelled in this view). The design allows a more effective, balanced rapid discharge with two hoppers (2 & 3) between the bogies and the other two (1 & 4) outside the bogies at each end.

One more closer-upper of the opera house tile work and then on to a different venue.
There are two groups of bridge climbers in the background - $278 Au per adult.
The tiles architect Jørn Utzon chose are a major design element in the building.
Utzon spent twelve months developing the tiles with one of the best ceramic factories in the world, Höganäs in Sweden. Inspired by a Chinese tradition in ceramic firing, for a glass-like finish, Utzon worked with Höganäs to develop the tiles which were specifically suited to the building.
Höganäs developed a technique in which the raw tile is painted with a clay slip of the same material and then fired. It is overlaid with a glossy, transparent glaze before it is fired the final time. This gave a beautiful lustre or sheen to the surface that would retain its visual qualities even when the tile became dirty. Over one million tiles were cast into precast concrete lids on the ground, and then bonded onto the ribbed superstructure of the shells.
The ceramic tiles were part of Utzon's plan to preserve the character of the whole building through the ages.
In 1965 Jørn Utzon explained:
"The top surface of the shells are covered with a weatherproof membrane, a series of precast panels matching the rib segments and covered with white glazed tiles. All the materials are non-corrosive, weather resistant, durable, and will age and acquire a patina without changing their character".
The Sydney Opera House has received many awards for its design and construction. These include the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Gold Award to Jørn Utzon in 1973 upon its completion, the United Kingdom Institution of Structural Engineers Special Award in 1973, and a Commemorative Sulman Award in 1992.
In 2003, Utzon received the prestigious international Pritzker Prize for his contributions to architecture and in recognition of his masterpiece, the Sydney Opera House.
"It is important that such a large, white sculpture in the harbour setting catches and mirrors the sky with all its varied lights dawn to dusk, day to day, throughout the year.' - a citation from the American architect Louis Kahn describes the importance of this surface and of the decision to make the surface white.
Jørn Oberg Utzon
Utzon died in Copenhagen on 29 November 2008, aged 90, of a heart attack in his sleep after a series of operations. He had never returned to Australia to see the completed opera house.
This year, there is a tourist bus which takes you all the way to Slap Pericnik, in the heart of the Vrata Valley.
I took the bus to the falls, and made the climb up to get close (I had my weatherproof Nikon D750 with me) and took some photos before walking back down to Mojstrana.
One of Glasgow's most famous institutions, The Barras was founded by James and Margaret McIver in the interwar years. Several of the smaller 1921-era market halls still bear the McIver name, although the main Barrowland Ballroom building was rebuilt after a fire in 1958, reopening in 1960. The ballroom has become a world-famous musical venue. There was a 'barra's queen.'
The original building opened in 1934 in a mercantile area east of Glasgow's city centre. The Barrowland building includes large street-level halls used for the weekend markets, with a sizeable weatherproof dance hall above. The front of the building is decorated with a distinctive animated neon sign.
In 2016, with market stalls quieter than in previous decades, the city council looked at proposals to redevelop the area.[1]

The weatherproof Finnish Lapphund is a tough and substantial reindeer herder from north of the Arctic Circle. This remarkably empathetic breed is among the friendliest of all dogs' once he's satisfied that you aren't a reindeer rustler. Finnish Lapphunds, with their luscious coat, sweet spitz-like face, and profusely coated tail that curves over the back, are instantly recognizable as Nordic dogs. Lappies stand about 20 inches at the shoulder and are surprisingly muscular and substantial for their inches.

I left the ketchup in the fridge! but I am wearing the boots.
Driving to the airport - going home. Will have some time for better planned photos for the 365 project during the next few days - hopefully getting away from snapshots again :)
Strobist: none
Camera and lens: Had short bath in cider last night at the bar (2:15am about) and the on/off button action is a bit sticky. Lens got a good shower as well and the manual focus override is slightly sticky as well. Everything seems to work - good weatherproofing is nice for these situations ;)
First time lightpainting a rigshot at night working solo.
It rained mid-shoot so a couple of the details aren't quite up to standard (headlights are on but not lighting up the road, f'rinstance) but I'm pretty impressed with the stability of the rig. A couple more frames would've improved this a lot but the skies opened pretty impressively and left me a bit concerned about the weatherproofing on my old D80/ 10-20mm combo which I was using for lightness.

Triumph Herald 1200 (1961-68) Engine 1147cc S4 OHV Production 201,142
Registration Number NBF 650 (Staffordshire)
TRIUMPH SET
www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/sets/72157623847263736...
The Herald was designed by Giovanni Michelotti and engineered by chief engineer Harry Webster.and originally launched at the Royal Albert Hall in 1959. Powered by a 948cc S4 OHV engine of the earlier Standard Pennant.
The range was updated in 1961 following an influx of funds after Standard-Triumphs take over by British Leyland. The model was relaunched in 1961 as the Triumph Herald 1200, powered by an 1147cc S4 OHV engine The new model featured white rubber bumpers, a wooden laminate dashboard and improved seating. Quality control was also tightened up. Twin carburettors were no longer fitted to any of the range as standard although they remained an option, the standard being a single down-draught Solex carburettor. Claimed maximum power of the Herald 1200 was 39 bhp against the 34.5bhp of the older model. Disc brakes also became an option from 1962. Sales of the Saloon increased, The convertible was popular as a 4-seater with decent weatherproofing and the estate made a practical alternative to the Morris Minor Traveller. The coupé was dropped from the range in late 1964 as it was by then in direct competition with the Triumph Spitfire.

Weatherproofing kicks ass... I love not having to worry about the cam getting wet when I shoot these.
Glad to have a weatherproof camera on my walkabout this stormy evening! Still snow coming down and blowing as midnight approaches...

On tax day there were periods of heavy rain. This is what I saw with a tiny weatherproof camera.

Yodography - Portmanteau of Yoda Photography
"Do or do not. There is no try" Yoda, the Empire strikes back.
Sometimes I have thought about a photo I would like to take but, for limitations of time, film, or something else I have to stop before I get it. I have only one or two chances to get it right. These images I whimsically categorize as Yodography so I can, much later, determine what went differently than my idea and whether it was better or worse for it.
This ice cave in Valdez glacier is a must see in Valdez.
We took a kayak tour for this cave, our guide was experienced and quite helpful. He checked the safety of this cave before let us go inside.
The ice was melting and it was raining heavily inside, everything including my bag and camera went wet. Use a weatherproof camera if you want to take pictures inside!
For a longer look of the ice cave, please visit this video:

Update: Based on the update of my friend's recent trip to Valdez, this ice cave was gone due to global warming.
Waterdrops on a feather emphasize its weatherproof nature.
A typical vaned feather features a main shaft, called the rachis. Fused to the rachis are a series of branches, or barbs; the barbs themselves are also branched and form the barbules. These barbules have minute hooks called barbicels for cross-attachment. [...] Feathers insulate birds from water and cold temperatures.
There's a bit of a funny story behind these river shots. In order to get to an even angle with the figure, I had to wade into the middle of the steam, squat down and place my camera an inch above the water -- not a comfortable position. Also, my bum was dipped in water half of the time, so for the rest of that morning I looked as if I crapped myself -- yay!
But the most interesting bit about the story was when my feet slipped. That was when I accidentally splashed water all over my camera in a panic. My camera was by no means weatherproofed, so I experienced a few moments of sheer terror as I scrambled to dry my dripping camera. Thankfully the camera proved to be resilient and lived to see another day.
I guess the moral of the story is "don't put your camera an inch above the water if you don't want it to end up as an expensive paperweight."
Prospect Cottage is a house on the coast in Dungeness, Kent. Originally a Victorian fisherman's hut, the house was purchased by director and artist Derek Jarman in 1987, and was his home until his death in 1994.
Jarman bought the house following the death of his father, at a time when he was looking to leave London. Actress and friend Tilda Swinton recalls Jarman buying "gallons of pitch black paint" to redecorate. The cottage facade of tarred boards and bright yellow paintwork were maintained from the previous owners. The timber walls of the cottage are weatherproofed with tar, and one wall is decorated with lines from the John Donne poem "The Sun Rising". Jarman's 1990 film The Garden was filmed at the house.
In The Belly of a Bear - Calgary artists Caitlind r.c. Brown, Wayne Garrett and Lane Shordee were the masterminds behind the dome with an interior lined in thick, warm fur. The sphere’s dark look comes from slightly torching the surface layer of its wooden exterior, which also weatherproofs it. The installation was one of the most popular with visitors, perhaps put in mind of Leonard DiCaprio's Revenant character, who sleeps inside a horse’s belly for warmth.
A few moments ago I was driving home and I caught a glimpse of a rainbow in the harbour. I ran inside grabbed a raincoat and my camera and took for the rooftop. Good thing my camera is weatherproof, and most importantly the rainbow was still there!
An abandoned school on the plains of north eastern Colorado. This one room school house is typical of rural schools built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Students from miles around would have attended. There would have been one teacher who most likely would have taught students ranging from kindergarten to middle school. These schools were also used for other community events, and a comment on another post about this school in another FB group mentioned that Sunday School classes were sometimes held here. This demonstrates that practical, multi-purpose use of these buildings for the local community.
While I have not been able to track down any records of when it was built or when it closed, the closest information I have come across is from a school districts list for Weld County that lists Rockaway as having been organized in 1873. Whether this particular school building was built then, I do not know.
Architecture wise, the exterior walls are made of a rough, stucco-like material. In one photo you can see where the outer stucco layer has fallen away. This reveals a layer of what appears to be fieldstone or rounded river rocks laid together with mortar. This suggests a composite wall construction, where a rough stone foundation or core was built and then covered with a smoother, protective earth-based stucco or plaster. This technique was a practical way to use readily available local materials (stones from fields or creek beds) while creating a durable and weatherproof facade. The combination of stone and earth construction is highly indicative of resourceful frontier building practices.. The roof is a hipped design, meaning all sides slope downwards to the walls. According to a comment on a post about this school in another Facebook group, there would have been a potbelly stove inside the building that was used to keep the building warm in the winter. The large windows around the sides of the building would have been essential for letting in light for classes to be held.
Today the building stands as a silent reminder to Colorado's history, a peak into the lives of people who once lived on Colorado's plains. Now it is dwarfed by large windmills, whose blades swoosh through the air, a juxtaposition of the past with the present. The dilapidated schoolhouse representing the past, a time of small, decentralized communities that were spread across the landscape, while the wind farm represents the present and future, with large-scale renewable energy infrastructure occupying the same vast, open landscape. This contrast highlights the transformation of the American West from an agricultural frontier to a hub of modern energy production.

This is one from an ongoing series trying to catch the ferry going along the horizon in long exposure. I'm only down in Swanage once every couple of months and with weather, tides and daylight hours all varying, it's taking a while to catch it. The timetable seems to have changed, so I missed it again.
Out at night, with a high tide and thick rain thrashing against the rocks, I shot this one anyway, and kept it for the impression it gives of the storm - that purple sky is SOOC. By the time I'd finished (this is a twenty minute exposure!), the tide had trapped me on the point and I had to climb up the crumbling defense tower to escape.
The more I take pictures, the more I realise bad weather outclasses good every time. I'm lucky now to have a supposedly weatherproof camera, but I also protect it with a thick bubble wrap sheet clipped on with a flexible ruler!
Have a wonderful week everyone!
The Jaipur Gate was originally commissioned for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition held at South Kensington in 1886. The exhibition was opened by Queen Victoria on 4 May 1886 and attracted 5.5m visitors.
The gate marked the entry to the Rajputana (now Rajasthan) section of the exhibition. The Maharaja of Jaipur paid for its construction. Although carved and assembled by Indian craftsmen, the gate is a hybrid construction designed by two Englishmen: Colonel Samuel Swinton Jacob and Surgeon-Major Thomas Holbein Hendley.
The inscription on the front, in English, Sanskrit and Latin, is the motto of the Maharajas of Jaipur: ‘where virtue is, there is victory’. The gate was donated to Hove Museum in 1926 and erected in the garden. It formed the backdrop to the visit of a later Maharaja of Jaipur in 1986 when he visited Hove to mark India’s independence celebrations.
In 2004 the gate was dismantled for conservation, structural reinforcement and weatherproofing by specialist contractors The Green Oak Company. Resin repairs and reclaimed teak, sourced in India, have been inserted to replace decayed timber and a new copper dome and lead roof provides protection against rain.

An old high school friend and I are working on a Barred Owl Nest Box Project together. He discovered that there were barred owls in the area around his lake front home and invited me up to photograph them last year. While there I talked to him about the idea of building an owl box and mounting it in one of the trees on his property and installing a camera similar to the one I had on the Great Horned Owls nest a few years ago.. Before I knew it, he had the box built and was just waiting on me to install a camera and mount it in the tree.
Well the camera I ordered came in and I drove the 85 miles to his house and we spent all afternoon and into the evening getting the box mounted and the camera installed. As I worked high atop a ladder mounting the box, a pair of barred owls flew in and perched in a tree not more than 50' away. they sat there and watched as I worked mounting the box. They hung around almost all afternoon, changing trees a few times, but always staying within sight of me working. Another owl (I think one of their offspring) also showed up and stayed for a while.
On a few occasions I came down off the ladder and grabbed my camera so that i could shoot some pics of the owls. On this occasion the female of the pair decided to swoop down and grab a late afternoon snack from the grass.
Hopefully one of the barred owl pairs in the area will decided to make the nest box their home and raise a family nest fall. If they do I have a Full HD low-light/night vision weatherproof camera mounted in the roof of the box looking down. It records both full HD video as well as sound and will even take 4MP still images through its wide angle lens.
With a brand-new 40 ft Airstream, my team gutted it, cut the side to install a custom designed fold-down door, and then remodeled the interior into a chic espresso lounge. I engineered and built the fold-down door using custom made torsion springs to counter balance the door weight so that it could be easily opened by two people. The interior build includes a custom bar design with real oak, marble and brass, a lounge with a custom fit sofa, sound system, lighting, audio visual equipment, and weatherproof parquet flooring. I also engineered and integrated the espresso machine into the existing Airstream utility system.

and the 'Mariensaüle'; St. Mary's Column [1899].

Since the 1997 Skulptur Projeten, the sculpture 100 Arms of Guan-yin by Huang Yong Ping has remained in Münster. On a traffic island south of St Ludgeri's Church on Marienplatz stands a round scaffolding in the shape of a bottle dryer, but instead of the bottles, 50 arms were attached during the exhibition, holding mundane things like brooms and hooks.
On the one hand, the sculpture is a reference to the Buddhist goddess Thousand-Armed Guan-yin, but on the other hand, it is also a reference to the crucifix of St. Ludgeri, whose Jesus figure lost both arms in a bombing raid during the Second World War.
As the arms of the statue were made of material that was not very weatherproof, they had to be removed in 2002. In 2007, the city's cultural office succeeded in having new, weather-resistant arms made of aluminium produced by the artist for about 19,000 euros. The arms, which used to be clay-coloured but now have a metallic appearance, were installed in time for the start of the sculpture exhibition.

Thursday, 19 January 2012. Pulling some maintenance on my footware. I cleaned them with saddle soap, and weatherproofed with mink oil a few days ago. Today was time for a little polish and elbow grease. Today was a good day to stay inside. Very cold, with a light snow falling most of the day.
i really got to test test the "weatherproofing" on my (at the time) brand new Olympus E3... i inadvertently went swimming a few minutes after taking this shot. (hey, it is hard to watch for the big waves when your eye is pressed against a viewfinder.)
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.

HERITAGE CHARACTER STATEMENT
The gas house, a shingled building of simple design and pleasing proportions, is nestled close to the water's edge on a prominent platform made of large dry-laid granite blocks. Its massing is of interest, with small gabled enclosures projecting from two facades. The utilitarian placement of windows and doors is in keeping with the functional character of the site and should not be altered. The wood-shingled roof is in keeping with the materials of the site. The sidewall shingles are extremely weathered and will require replacement in kind. Careful attention should be paid to ensuring that the openings are weatherproof and that roof intersections are properly flashed to keep water out of the structure. The brick chimney with simple corbelling at the upper courses merits masonry conservation expertise.
Shooting portrait in the rain (in LA... ya right) has always been on my list, and with the pouring rain last week, I was finally granted the chance to do so! It's definitely worth it to get my camera, lens, and flashes wet for a rare opportunity like this!
Big thank you to Irene Yeh for being super chill and patient even though I encountered lots of tech difficulties! You just didn't look like an inexperienced model at all!
And Thank you Kenneth Surajat for getting a model for me even though I asked you for help so last minute! You're a super portable, weatherproof light stand too!

This was taken during the 3rd Out of Chicago Photowalk. Though I did not get any good shots of the supermoon, I did have a blast and got some interesting shots of some cool cloud formations and stuff like these reflections. It may look like the camera and myself are dry but you can ask Brian, we were soaked. Did a few water spot erasing in this photo. The camera is actually sitting in a puddle, testing the D700 weatherproofing skills. Had a blast getting to know some new photographers in the area and hanging with some I met at the 1st photowalk. Cannot wait for the next one Chris!
