Aegna, a small island that from its shores has always observed the Estonian capital Tallinn. It
hosted few settlements of fishermen in its golden days, a soviet base in the darkest ones, and
nowadays abandoned constructions along with wild nature. Now the population is accounted to be
of six people, who are not to be found despite any effort; mainland dwellers fleeing the city for a
greener place are instead the only humans that can be spotted. Exploring the island I've indeed
found a summer centre for Buddhist meditation and a couple of monks in spiritual retire, but then
only ran-down or even crumbling facilities of the soviet era, new built estates with the typical traits
of the Scandinavian architecture, spiritual spots for offerings to unknown deities, as well as many
other puzzling and inapprehensible things, like feathers scattered on a pathway for an instance. Not
the actual inhabitants though, except the ones buried in the local cemetery, which counts dozens of
tombstones on a musky field adorned by lichens. Here the people are at the best just an ephemeral
phenomenon, solely consistence of the residuals of their past existence.
On my recent visit for my twin grand daughter’s fourth birthday and my seventieth I managed to spend a day photographing dear old Boston.
Here I am at the new South Boston Waterfront, which is increasingly becoming known as the Seaport District. It is considered the “hottest, fastest growing real estate market in the country”. Boston has old city charm with new city architectural design. What sets Boston apart is that it is a great walking
town exposing itself to its diverse culture, history, New England seafood, the famed “North End” steeped with the best Italian dishes, and the greatest sports town along with its fans in America.

As some of you might have noticed my latest 3 or 4 architectural images are different from my previous successful and award winning series from the past few years. Reason: I always try to keep moving, and never stand still, even if it means you have to leave a successful concept.
To quote Mark Twain: to stand still is to fall behind.
I'm not saying I'm going to change and revolutionize the world of architectural fine art photography, absolutely not. I'm just saying I'm changing myself, once again. Subtle but important changes in my view to keep growing and never get bored of myself and my work.
What you see since a few months and what you will see in the future is a combination of the fine art architectural photography I've done for the past few years and the more technical, sterile and conventional architectural photography as we have always known. Changes will grow over time, this photo reflects today's status. If you want to know more and learn about my new architectural direction, my changed artistic approach and much more that keeps the artistic spirit going, then visit our Chicago architectural fine art photography workshop and I will tell you all about it.

Can be found not far from the famous Ullfington Horse along the Ridgeway.
This a large Neolithic chambered Long Barrow located in Oxfordshire. It is thought to be about 5500 years old.
14 people were buried this tomb. Then sometime around 3300 BC a longer tomb was built on top of it with 3 stone chambers. 8 bodies were found in the newer sections.
The location has a real magical feeling to it. Just off the ridgeway path surrounded by tall trees and the sounds of nature and cool shade. Lovely spot to pause for a picnic while exploring all the great old sites in the area.
If you're into this kind of thing add it to your list of places to visit in this area.

Windows and walls for this week's 100x theme of Black and White.
Taken at an abandoned building in southern Delaware.
The back door with walls slightly askew, paint chipping away and rotting wood. There was a black plastic bag covering the window so we couldn't see inside. But it helped enhance the surrounding tree and sky reflections

A wall full of various window redesigns over time.
Captured with iPhone with the black and white shooter app, Blackie.
Offers you various presets to shoot in black and white. It also re-edit of the original black and white shot, and also color photos from your library.
Precision and repetition — the lens never blinks. A calm, clinical landscape where lines dominate and surveillance becomes part of the aesthetic language.
Goliath. visually explores the theme of scale, emphasizing the contrast between the immense size of urban architecture and the relative smallness of individual human experience within these spaces. It is a study in contrasts: solidity and void, opacity and transparency, enormity and minutiae. Goliath. ultimately raises questions about the individual's place in the architectural colossus of the urban landscape.
Here's an image i took a while back when visiting the financial area in the beautiful city of Luxembourg.
An all-seeing eye under sterile chrome — surveillance camouflaged in elegance. At BMW Welt, function and design merge in silent observation
Another version of the Keep Out Door.
When I posted the original color version in the spring I was really torn about which one to post.
In the end I thought this one would be good saved for Halloween week.

Geometry watches you. Angles converge with precision while the chrome sentinel blends into the modernist canvas — quiet but vigilant.

Český Krumlov Castle from alley way above and across the river.
Český Krumlov is a beautiful small city in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.
Old Český Krumlov is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It sits high on the hill top, spreads downward from hilltops and straddles the Vltava River to join the castle on the other side.
