No matter where you look in New York City-- or from what angle- the sights and sounds of building and road construction are unavoidable
I will be at ACP (Atlanta Celebrates Photography) on October 13th. After the portfolio review all the photographers will have an open house. Check out www.acpinfo.org for more info. If your in the area stop in.
It has been said that the official bird of Austin is the Crane. A play on words but the skyline is filled with construction cranes.
A construction worker on a carrying out repair work on a building in the Capital City of Malta.
This shot was taken at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport. The airport has wonderful architecture and the design is amazing. I was lucky enough to be able to capture this shot when it had emptied out a bit after my flight had landed.
I regret not having taken more shots but I was pleased to be able to capture a couple and I look forward to posting some further edits in due course.
I processed using Nik HDR Efex Pro and Color Efex Pro.
most private constructions, unless absolutely necessary, were placed under a state of suspension until further notice due to the lockdown
Took a walk at the construction site nearby, still quiet, as today is Lantern festival and the workers have not yet returned from their hometowns where they went to celebrate Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year.
Destruction of the old houses is complete and only rubble remains and here and there an old toy, a broken pot, pieces of green glass, old tiles and red bricks.
Everything is in place for construction to begin behind brand new white walls as soon as man power is back. Do not know yet what will rise up from the rubble.
The people who lived here have moved to new apartments somewhere else. I know some of them moved happily and some found it very hard to depart their hundred-year- old homes beside the river.

The Royal Palace of Madrid (Spanish: Palacio Real de Madrid) is the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family at the city of Madrid, but it is only used for state ceremonies.
The old Alcázar was built on the location in the 16th century. After it burned 24 December 1734, King Philip V ordered a new palace built on the same site. Construction spanned the years 1738 to 1755[ and followed a Berniniesque design by Filippo Juvarra and Giovanni Battista Sacchetti in cooperation with Ventura RodrÃguez, Francesco Sabatini, and MartÃn Sarmiento. Charles III first occupied the new palace in 1764.
The palace has 135,000 square metres (1,450,000 sq ft) of floor space and contains 3,418 rooms. It is the largest royal palace in Western Europe by floor area. The interior of the palace is notable for its wealth of art and the use of many types of fine materials in the construction and the decoration of its rooms. These include paintings by artists such as Caravaggio, Francisco de Goya, and Velázquez, and frescoes by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, Juan de Flandes, Corrado Giaquinto, and Anton Raphael Mengs. Other collections of great historical and artistic importance preserved in the building include the Royal Armoury of Madrid, porcelain, watches, furniture, silverware, and the world's only complete Stradivarius string quintet.

Grey herons constructing their nest. Male delivers branches and female weaves them into the nest.
The grey heron (Ardea cinerea) is the largest heron in Europe. It has a long neck, a strong, dagger-like bill and long yellow legs. In flight, the neck is folded back, and the wings are bowed. In adults, the forehead, sides of the head and the centre of the crown are white, whereas in juveniles these are greyish. The sexes are similar in appearance.
Grey heron (Ardea cinerea)
The grey heron feeds mainly on fish, which it hunts by patiently standing completely still at the side of the water, and striking rapidly when a fish comes into range. The prey is caught in the bill or speared; amphibians, small mammals, birds and invertebrates may also be taken. Feeding areas are often vigorously defended against intruders. It breeds either solitarily or in colonies, called heronries, in woodland close to water. The heronries are usually traditional sites used by successive generations. The flat nest of sticks is built in the crown of the tree early in the year, and four or five eggs are laid towards the end of March, though often earlier in mild winters. Both parents share the duties of incubation, which takes 25 to 26 days. The young, which are covered in down in their first days of life and are fed on regurgitated fish, fledge after 20 to 30 days.

Rowel, construction worker.
We met Rowel (50 yo) in Dauin in the construction site of the resort of a good friend. Him and his workmates accepted to be taken in picture.
We will go back next month to meet them again for the construction of bamboo bungallow. :)
The resort name is "la tortue, Diving center" and promises to be extremely nice specially for the divers in the Negros. :)
