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! ;-))

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.

Made up of over 700 miles of man made "concrete and pipe" river, the California Aqueduct system provides water to Los Angeles County and it's population of over 10 million. That's more people than 42 States have. For years now farmers haven't been getting the water they're allotted and paid for due to several reasons that I'm not going to get into, political according to farmers, environmental according to politicians. Los Angeles gets its water, while many farms have reverted to basically desert waste land. Took this picture off I-5 near Patterson California at the top of a hillside scenic view point.

Concrete jungle is the perfect place for those two insane asshat clowns that embarrassed us again in the "debate" last night.

This momumental building, former head office of the Rotterdamsche Cementsteen Fabriek ("Rotterdam Concrete Brick Co.") was build in 1898, and can be found in the southern part of Rotterdam, Netherlands. It is the last building standing on this former factory terrain (now a park). Although it is a listed building, it has been neglected for years and is still awaiting renovation. The unique facade ornaments and large parts of the building are made of concrete, making it one of the first houses in the Netherlands using this material extensively.
