Never really knew how hard concrete is to photograph. It is so porous and holey, I feel like I can never get it to be a clear shot. You can really see city dirt on windows and concrete. Yuck.
It was a windy day in the city and of course hand held, as I twist and turn to see what angle looks best.
Happy Day Ya All.
Despite the government's efforts to create many green spaces, Singapore looks like a concrete city from some perspectives.
Acropolis Museum, Athens
Bernard Tschumi Architects
"Designed with spare horizontal lines and utmost simplicity, the Museum is deliberately non-monumental, focusing the visitor’s attention on extraordinary works of art. With the greatest possible clarity, the design translates programmatic requirements into architecture."

Jacques Herzog (Herzog & de Meuron):
"Wir suchen Materialien, die so atemberaubend schön wie die Kirschblüten in Japan sind oder so verdichtet und kompakt wie die Felsformationen der Alpen oder so rätselhaft und unergründlich wie die Oberflächen der Ozeane. Wir suchen Materialien, die so intelligent, virtuos und komplex wie Naturerscheinungen sind, also Materialien, die nicht nur die Retina des erstaunten Kunstkritikers kitzeln, sondern auch wirklich effizient sind und alle Sinne ansprechen - nicht nur die Augen, auch die Nase, die Ohren, den Geschmacks- und Tastsinn."
Es ist ihnen hier vortrefflich gelungen, wie ich finde! ;-))

Pitched detail of the Hiberus Hotel under the early evening sun (Zaragoza).

This horizontal-shaped building boasts a construction quite untypical for an urban hotel. Minimalist in many ways, it looks pretty cold for my taste, yet it neatly fits in its natural environment, smartly protected from the strong regional wind and the outside noise by glass and concrete walls, which are different in size to provide a unique perspective. // Este edificio horizontal exhibe una construcción bastante atípica para ser un hotel urbano. Minimalista en varios sentidos, tiene un aspecto bastante frío para mi gusto, aunque encaja muy bien en su entorno natural, inteligentemente protegido del fuerte viento regional y del ruido exterior por muros de hormigón y vidrio, que tienen tamaños diferentes para proporcionar una perspectiva única.
Let me breath you in and breath the words in your mouth
Inside your shivering, the silence shouts so loud
I just want to, I just want to stay around
And while my heart beats,
I promise I won't let you down
If I'm somewhere else it doesn't mean that I don't see
That you don't trust yourself,
That's why you don't trust me
It makes me crazy,
When you're crazy, you don't speak
You think you know me,
But what you know is just skin deep
If you keep building these walls,
Brick by brick towers so tall
Soon I won't see you at all, until the concrete angel falls
I knew who you were from the start,
But now I don't know who you are
Soon there will be nothing at all,
Until the concrete angel falls www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFz10R529g&ab_channel=Gareth...
The large (up to 2.5 metres in diameter) sandstone boulders at Red Rock Coulee are concretions - formed undersea, in this case the shallow "Bearpaw Sea" that covered much of the North American interior when the dinosaurs still roamed. Eighty million years old, give or take, they now sit on the Alberta prairie like gigantic, misshapen cow pies.
I wondered what I could do with a fish eye lens here, so when the sun emerged from a cloud bank very late in the evening, I got out the Rokinon 8mm. Keeping the camera level produces a straight horizon; any tilt and there is a pronounced curve. The limitation lies in its extraordinary 180° field of view: if I shifted to the right, the sun would be in my frame; to the left and I have to deal with my own shadow. And the photo op turned out to be brief; I had time for half a dozen shots and then the light faded.

btw, how about the huge shadow of a small seagull. I can't explain it but like it.
