Fotografia presa amb una càmera Rolleiflex Automat (RF 111A), fabricada el 1938; Ilford HP5+ 400 revelat amb HC110. Aquesta càmera és contemporanea amb Auschwitz-Birkenau.
En aquesta imatge es poden veure els tres tipus de barracons d'Auschwitz I: els originals de dos plantes, els originals d'una planta sobrepujats a dues, i els construits durant la guerra.
Auschwitz. Què més puc dir més enllà d’aquest toponim en alemany d’una vila polonesa. Tots ja sabeu què fou, de 1940 a 1945. Aquí es creà un camp de concentració per la explotació salvatge i mortal dels enemics del III Reich. Però sobretot a partir de 1943 i a la seva extensió (i futur camp independent) de Birkenau: l’extermini dels jueus europeus a nivell industrial.
En aquest cas, el camp original (Auschwitz I o Stammlager Auschwitz (camp principal)) fou creat el juny de 1940 en una antiga caserna del exèrcit polonès. Per això està format per edificis de maons de dues plantes, tant diferent de Birkenau. Els nazis hi afegiren més blocs, torres de vigilancia i filferrades. Entorn el camp proliferaren industries de guerra alemanes, aprofitant sense pietat la ma d'obra esclava. Tot i no ser el camp on es va produir la major part de l'extemini massiu (Birkenau), Auschwitz I fou un infern espantós per a tot aquell que hi va anar a parar. L'esperança de vida mitjana era d'uns 3 mesos i els morts foren centenars de milers.

=====================================
Photograph taken with a Rolleiflex Automat camera (RF 111A), manufactured in 1938; Ilford HP5+ 400 film developed in HC110. This camera is of the same era than Auschwitz-Birkenau.
In this picture you can apreciate the three different block types in Auschwitz I: pre-war 2 floor blocks, pre-war 1 floor blocks (expanded to 2nd floor by the nazis) and "newer" 2 level blocks built by the nazis. By order these are background left, foreground left, and foreground right.
Auschwitz. What else can I say beyond this toponym in German of a Polish town. You all know what it was, from 1940 to 1945. Here a concentration camp was created for the savage and deadly exploitation of the enemies of the Third Reich. But especially from 1943 and in its extension (and future independent camp) of Auschwitz II - Birkenau. The extermination of European Jews at an industrial level.
In this case, the original and main camp (Auschwitz I or Stammlager Auschwitz) was created in June 1940 in an old Polish army barracks. That is why it consists of two-story brick buildings, so different from Birkenau. The Nazis added more blocks, watchtowers and barbed wire. German war industries proliferated around the camp, exploiting slave labor mercilessly. Despite not being the camp where most of the mass extermination took place (Birkenau), Auschwitz I was a terrifying hell for everyone who ended up there. The average life expectancy was about 3 months and the dead were hundreds of thousands.

I've tried this before but I've got a slightly faster lens now and I'm also getting better at processing the results! My last effort from here was a whole lot darker so I'm really pleased to have teased as many stars out in this one. This is the very end of the Milky Way so whilst there's none of that lovely gas cloud on show, there's still a lot to see.
BlueElephantStitches asked for blue, green and white fabrics with a "watery" feel. Her inspiration gallery echoed this idea.
The block is from Oh Fransson's Chopped Vegetables Pillows pattern. I used the third technique in the pattern and resized everything to make a 12.5" block.
Cardboard box with 5 pinholes (pin5hole), equivalent focal length ~8 mm, f/~90, expired 6x9 photographic glass plate, exposure 15 min. Taken on the 26th of April, Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day.
Visited a friend today and took the iphone up to the roof of her building two different times. The clouds were moving fast and the light changed wildly from moment to moment. Later I wondered why this elevator shaft had windows in it? Odd.
I was asked by Blocks magazine to provide info on my spine tree for an article on trees! So thanks for asking and to all who like a good Lego read, than Blocks is what you are looking for! (I noticed Mark of Falworth was in the article as well!)

Developed four exposures from single raw file, merged to HDR image and tone-mapped with Photomatix.
Tacha hope you like your block. Had a great time creating this one though I think I need more practice creating less visible whip stitches ;)
Prints for "Mappings" solo show at [DAM]Berlin. Based on sound signals. Last minute decision to scale up to 150x100 cm horizontal format rather than the 60x90 vertical cropping.

A rather cool February night in Wallan, as N469 pulls Seymour bound train #8337 into the platform.
The signaller is seen greeting the driver as the train arrives. The signaller here would alert the driver by radio that the double line block instruments have failed, and it is absolute block working between Wallan and Kilmore East.
It is not yet clear when the Double Line Block instruments will again be operable.
Wallan, Vic.
