Macro Mondays theme - Broken Created in camera using the multiple function on camera as I felt this replicated the shaking of the earthquake that broke it HMM
The earthquake was in Christchurch on 22 February 2011, this pavalova plate given to me by my mother-in-law was one of the casualties in our home. I did have plans to maybe make something out of all the broken china but the round-to-it must also must have broken
I took this photo in Berlin, Germany in 2012 when it was located at the Neue Nationalgalerie.
Broken Obelisk is a sculpture designed by Barnett Newman between 1963 and 1967. Fabricated from three tons of Cor-Ten steel, which acquires a rust-colored patina. Four multiples of the sculpture exist. With the permission of the Barnett Newman Foundation, a fourth multiple was commissioned in 2003 and completed in 2005–06 by Lippincott, Merrifield, and Roberts. This last of the four multiples was installed in front of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin in 2007–08 and later acquired by Storm King Art Center.
Art critic Robert Hughes, writing on Broken Obelisk in 1971, said: Newman's pursuit of the sublime lay less in nature than in culture. This enabled him to pick ancient, man-made forms and return them to pristine significance without a trace of piracy. One index of that ability was his sculpture. Broken Obelisk, perhaps the best American sculpture of its time, is Newman's meditation on ancient Egypt: a steel pyramid, from whose apex an inverted obelisk rises like a beam of light. Here, Newman bypassed the Western associations of pyramids and broken columns with death, and produced a life-affirming image of transcendence. That unruffled self-sufficiency, beyond style, gave Newman's work its mysterious didactic value. It is not 'expressive'; the silence at the core bespeaks a man for whom art was a philosophical activity, a way of knowledge. [Wikipedia edited]
Whilst cooking boiled eggs for my dogs I noticed one had split in the pan and thought what a great subject for this weeks MM theme - hope you like it
In Berlin at Hackescher Markt, there was a complete broken piano at the street - a very strange guy playing on it with the few black keys that are still there...
Finally getting around to editing pictures that have been sitting on my computer for much too long. I think it's safe to say I'm not really keeping up with my 52 week or Troys either. So for right now I'm just posting whatever ... no particular order just posting. :)
I hope you all had a great weekend and Mothers Day.
Two of my favorite subjects to photograph in Hua Hin, Thailand.

3-D targets also contain iron, for example in the leg of a deer. If an arrow hits it, the tip will be flattened and the shaft can splinter
All manner of interesting things make up the former PMT archive. Potteries Motor Traction were very good at documenting not just the many and varied types in their fleet, but also routes and various mechanical aspects of note. This is one of the last mentioned.
The company had been wooed into purchasing a Land Rover and with it the prospect of being able to use it for bus recovery when the larger vehicles weren't available. Needless to say, the 'theory' had to be tested so it was duly hooked up to one of the company's numerous Weymann bodied Leyland Atlanteans and set the task of hauling it up Hartshill Bank out of Stoke centre. I believe the trial was a success, but I don't think in reality the vehicle was used very much for this line of work.
At nearby Stoniers, much later on, we too had a long wheelbase Landrover which would occasionally get pressed into service for recovery, but that always seemed to result in a broken half shaft within the ensuing 24 hours.
Things have to be broken, isn't it? Scan your archives, make your choice, and tweet it to @Flickr, adding #TwitterTuesday #Broken. We'll showcase the best ones on the Flickr Blog tomorrow.
