Chrome yellow is a yellow pigment in paints using monoclinic lead(II) chromate (PbCrO4). It occurs naturally as the mineral crocoite but the mineral ore itself was never used as a pigment for paint. After the French chemist Louis Vauquelin discovered the new element chromium in 1797 lead chromate was synthesized in the laboratory and used as a pigment beginning in the second decade of the nineteenth century.

Happy Mono Monday!
He rides a road that don't have no end
An open highway without any bends
Tramp and his stallion, alone in a dream
Proud in his colors, as the chromium gleams
On iron horse he flies
On iron horse he gladly dies
Iron horse's his wife
Iron horse's his life

"Berlin" Gold, to be precise – which is made of chromium-nickel steel. This is the famous "Berlin" sculpture on Berlin-Charlottenburg boulevard Tauentzien. It was created in 1987 by artist couple Martin Matschinsky and Brigitte Matschinsky-Denninghoff, and erected for the "Skulpturenboulevard" (sculpture boulevard) exhibition, a temporary exhibition in public space (of Berlin-West) of seven large sculptures/installations on the occasion of Berlin's 750th anniversary in 1987 and in connection with the Capital of Culture Year 1988. The intertwined, yet separated steel pipes of "Berlin" were meant to symbolize the situation of the city that, back in 1987, was still divided by the Berlin wall.
Unlike the other sculptures, "Berlin" was bought by the Senate of Berlin after the end of the exhibition, and is permanently installed on Tauentzien's centre strip. There are several more chromium-nickel steel pipe sculptures created by Matschinsky-Denninghoff in Berlin (and other cities in Germany). The sculpture "Dreiheit" (Trinity), which I've photographed as well (and which I'll probably upload soon as well), can be found in front of the Berlinische Galerie in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
The building in the lower right corner is the Europa-Center, a building complex built between 1963 and 1965. Europa-Center's high-rise tower with the rotating Mercedes-Benz star on the roof was, for many years, West Berlin's highest building and also quickly became one of West Berlin's landmarks. Today, the entire building complex is heritage protected.
Berliner Gold
... Das, strengenommen, aus Chromnickelstahl in Gestalt der Skulptur "Berlin" besteht. Diese berühmte, aus ineinander verschlungenen, aber dennoch voneinander getrennten Röhren bestehende Skulptur, die die damals noch bestehende Berliner Teilung symbolisiert(e), wurde 1987 vom Künstlerehepaar Matschinsky-Denninghoff erschaffen. Die Erstausstellung erfolgte im Rahmen des "Skulpturenboulevards", einer Ausstellung mit sieben Groß-Skulpturen/-Installationen im öffentlichen Raum West-Berlins anlässlich Berlins 750. Geburtstag 1987 und der Kulturhauptstadt 1988. Anders als die anderen Skulpturen des Skulpturenboulevards wurde "Berlin" vom Berliner Senat erworben und ist permanent auf dem Mittelstreifen des Tauentziens in der City-West zu sehen.
Es gibt, nicht nur in Berlin, sondern auch in anderen deutschen Städten, noch weitere von Matschinsky-Denninghoff geschaffene Stahlskulpturen. Eine davon, die ich ebenfalls fotografiert habe (das Foto werde ich vermutlich demnächst auch hochladen), die Skulptur "Dreiheit", ist vor der Berlinischen Galerie in Berlin-Kreuzberg zu finden.
Das Gebäude rechts "unten" ist der Turm des Europa-Centers. Das Europa-Center besteht nicht nur aus dem Hochhaus, sondern auch aus einem Einkaufszentrum am Breitscheidplatz. Das Hochaus des Europa-Centers war lange Zeit West-Berlins höchstes Gebäude und avancierte, nicht zuletzt wegen des weithin sichtbaren, rotierenden Mercedes-Sterns auf dem Dach, schnell zu einem Wahrzeichen der geteilten Stadt. Der zwischen 1963 und *65 errichtete Gebäudekomplex steht heute unter Denkmalschutz.

The first step was a good thought,

For 'sliderssunday'.
Not quite what I expected to produce on a Saturday evening. I did make the paper spirals in the afternoon and used a couple of dabs of glue to hold them together - they are about 6cm in length.
To get the reflection I wanted I had to use a rather battered chromium-plated sheet of metal. When I used my usual mirror I ended up with multiple reflections which just didn't look right.
As for how the original image got processed like this, I'm not too sure but do know that I'm certain I couldn't do it quite the same again.
Whenever I use a mirror surface I always have to do a bit of 'gardening' to remove all the spots of dust and dirt that seem to appear by magic.

Crocoite is a mineral consisting of lead chromate, PbCrO4, and crystallizing in the monoclinic crystal system. It is identical in composition with the artificial product chrome yellow used as a paint pigment.
Crocoite is commonly found as large, well-developed prismatic adamantine crystals, although in many cases are poorly terminated. Crystals are of a bright hyacinth-red color, translucent, and have an adamantine to vitreous luster. On exposure to UV light some of the translucency and brilliancy is lost. The streak is orange-yellow; Mohs hardness is 2.5–3; and the specific gravity is 6.0.

...not too large. There was a built-in upholstered corner seat by the french windows and a man in a white dinner jacket was standing with his back to the room, looking out. He had gray hair. There was a large black and chromium safe, some filing cases, a large globe in a stand, a small built-in bar, and the usual broad heavy executive desk with the usual high-backed padded leather chair behind it."

I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, shots from my cellphone and digital AI artwork fulfill that purpose, at least for the time being.
If in doubt which is my work and which is Generative AI, just look for the watermark on my photography.

Verneuil Ruby on a background of natural Pink/Purple Ruby in grey Zoisite
Just used a Canon Power Shot A480 that I paid a euro for at a thrift store. Used the macro setting.
Beautiful oval verneuil ruby, very nice checkerboard size
Format 12 by 10 mm
Hand-cut by Jura lapidary in France in the 1970s
Lab produced Verneuil Rubies have the same chemical composition as natural Rubies, both have Aluminium Oxide and both have Chromium that gives the red colour. They both have the same high density of 4.0 g/cm3 and the Moh's hardness scratch resistance of 9, second only to diamond. The Verneuil Ruby is only a minute fraction of the cost of natural Ruby. The colour is also very similar, differing with inclusions. Just like lab produced Diamonds can be a beautiful gem, so likewise are lab produced Rubies. Synthetic stones are REAL and are NOT imitations or simulants.

So exciting news! I get to make luffly images for the Zibska brand OFFICIALLY! (Yay me!)
Of course I was all chair dancing and HAD to make an image straight away!
I love serendipity in second life and this is a theme that has been a thread in my art even in my first one! My favourite medium to work with has always been the found object - and boy what an object did I find!

The classic American cars of the 1950's were among my very first subjects when I first made photographs as a 6-year-old boy. I was mesmerized by those cars, and could readily identify the manufacturers and models of almost every car on the street. Each manufacturer had their own unique style, and the cars didn't all look the same as they tend to do now. The automotive designers in Detroit were amazingly creative, using fins, massive amounts of chromium, and sweeping curves. To this day, the American cars of the 1950's are regarded by many as some of the greatest cars ever designed.
