In 1908, the Düsseldorf-based Central-trade-ssociation for Rhineland, Westphalia and neighbouring districts praised a competition for a fountain in front of the Düsseldorf Art Palace.
As a "figurative representation of the iron industry and the mining industry," it was to be sent to the 1902 on the site on the banks of the Rhine (then Kaiser Wilhelm Park, now Rheinpark) the industrial and commercial exhibition was held.
Among the 44 designs submitted, the jury, which was prominently occupied by the painter Fritz Roeber, the painter Georg Oeder, the architect Wilhelm Kreis and the Düsseldorf garden director Walter von Engelhardt, was Prize awarded, so also do not recommend a design for execution. It was initially planned to give the authors of the shortlisted drafts the opportunity to revise them in a second stage of competition (a closer competition).
The fountain was built in its original form between 1911 and 1913. While the Düsseldorf architect Gotthold Nestler designed the actual well complex, the sculptor Friedrich Coubillier created the three bronze figures "Schmied Vulkan," "Bergmann" and "Hüttenarbeiter." Miner and cottage worker are depicted in the loincloth. The bronze casting of the figures took place at the Kunstgießerei Lauchhammer.
On the occasion of the opening of the Grand Art Exhibition in 1913, the industrial fountain in front of the former Art Palace was inaugurated. In 1925 the fountain was dismantled there because of the extensive new buildings at the Ehrenhof.
In 1939, the three sculptures were erected in a new facility on Fürstenplatz in Friedrichstadt. In 1942 the figures were to be melted down as metal donations by the German people for armaments and were removed. However, they remained intact, and in 1950 they were restored.
Una de las pocas imágenes que hice en vertical en mi estadía en la base, una maravilla de lugar, geoformas por todos los rincones con origenes diferentes...

Based on my observations of newt behavior and the time of year, I believe this is a male checking out a female.
Not on the moon and not a base but a restaurant in Timmendorfer Strand, Baltic Sea, Germany.
Keine Mondlandebasis aber das relativ neue Restaurant auf dem Pier in Timmendorfer Strand, Ostsee.
Base image was one of my “Distortion Jewels” series, then transmogrified in iColorama, then upscaled, then repainted in ProCreate.
It feels like I have been working on this for months. The last stage was difficult and I’m still not sure I like the result. Sometimes paintings are like that, right?
Something white...ha,ha!
Have a great week guys.Thank you for comments and faves.

The four DL Alcos that have just dropped their train in Pocono and Cresco are closing in on Scranton with their return train. The set is crossing Roaring Brook River viewed from Davis trail, a neat way to finish the day.
Cumbre considerada el mirador de Picos, el Coriscao (2.234 m.) divide Cantabria y León. Ascendida desde el puerto de San Glorio, con mucha nieve y mucho viento hasta llegar a la cima. Las vistas, alucinantes, hacia Picos de Europa, la montaña cántabra, palentina, leonesa...

A base model Sandero! Was looking for one of these for a while now so happy i finally seen one. Actually like the base model.
I just love my vista’s to be moody with a bit of edge and the bonus of random light highlighting one of the tops, unfortunately this is as good as it got on Tuesday. I didn’t bother to get my Canon out of the backpack as I was iffy on it’s worth and took the photo with my Fujifilm XT30 16-80mm utility lens. This is a super little combo to be hanging on my shoulder in my old crumpler quick escape pouch. The xt30 is small and has got the best aps-c sensor Fujifilm produce at the moment and this 16-80mm is a very versatile lens, giving an equivalent 24-120mm focal range. It’s sharp enough for this sensor and has a great stabilisation. I always like a camera to be handy when I’m in the hills to catch the little moments of drama, regardless of it being a photography day where I would have a bit more camera umph in my rugsack, or a mountain day where I would only carry the small Fujifilm. The photo was taken maxed out at 80mm to catch a rare sight of the high tops. It’s centred on Base Brown flanked by a snow dusted Great End and the Gables either side.
