Taken just before the blue hour kicked in along a stretch of canal in my home city of Nottingham. These apartments are mostly privately owned but can you believe some students live here? It's a far cry from the squalor I lived in during my degree days that's for sure. The guys I lived with were complete slobs too.
Anyway as I'm sure you'll agree it's not a bad place to live :)

Yes, I know. I should have taken a look at the Crazy Tuesday discussions a little earlier. Though it is debatable whether this blue is pretty at all. The apartments there are certainly very expensive. Nonetheless, after the recent lost places decay (more will follow), I wanted to show something more glossy for a change ;-) Taken during a boat trip on the River Spree and Landwehr Canal in Berlin in summer 2016. This apartment house called "Living Levels" is a new residential tower located at the riverside of the Spree next to the famous East Side Gallery. The building, actually the entire development of the Spree riverside, is very controversial. Most of the new (residental) buildings are / will be luxury buildings, while affordable living space is a scarce commodity nowadays. The irony: The tenants of the Living Levels tower are now fighting against a new hotel which is supposed to be built next to their building. They claim that the hotel will block out the morning sun.
At this point I still had my manual vintage 50mm Zuiko lens mounted, but the 100 mm (crop factor 2 for MFT) on my OM-D were too much tele. Later on that trip I switched to the m.zuiko digital 17mm f1.8.
Wohnturm "Living Levels" am Spreeufer neben der East Side Gallery. Das Bauprojekt (eigentlich alle Bauprojekte dort) war sehr umstritten, Stichwörter: Verdrängung, Gentrifizierung, Mediaspree... Nun klagen die Bewohner des Luxubaus selbst, denn neben ihrem Haus soll nicht nur ein Hotel errichtet werden (bereits in der ursprünglichen Planung enthalten), es soll auch noch zwei Stockwerke höher werden als geplant. Und das nimmt ihnen die Morgensonne weg.
Aufgenommen während einer Bootsfahrt auf Spree und Landwehrkanal im Sommer 2016. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte ich noch mein manuelles 50-mm-Zuiko drauf, aber die 100 mm, die daraus an meiner OM-D werden, waren doch zu viel Tele. Später habe ich dann das m.zuiko digital 17mm f1.8 angeschraubt.

Every time I am at the intersection of Stockton and Bush in San Francisco I can't resist taking an image of this apartment building. I can't explain it, but it speaks to me. And each image with each camera, lens, and film choice brings out something new in it.
This photo was taken in the Panier (Old Town of Marseille). Did you know that Marseille is one of the oldest cities in Europe?
Two mud nests of cliff swallow birds under an overhanging rock in the Silent City of Rocks. Cassia County, Idaho.
Cliff Swallows zoom around in intricate aerial patterns to catch insects on the wing. When feeding in flocks with other species of swallows, they often stay higher in the air. They build mud nests in colonies on cliff ledges or under bridges, eaves, and culverts. Courtesy: All About Birds.Org
