These images were captured in an abandoned power plant in Italy. There is not much left of the plant which once generated up to 80 megawatts. However, the control room and a cooling tower are still in place.

Hard work is performed in the control room in an amazing abandoned steelworks in Austria. The place has thousands of interesting things to photograph. Maybe the most dirty place I have visited so far, but i enjoyed every second of being there.

Durante la Guerra Civil (1936-1939) este frente tuvo una importancia estratégica, dado que su control permitía el acceso al abastecimiento de agua de los dos principales embalses que abastecían a la capital: Puentes Viejas y El Villar. La caída anticipada del los embalses en manos del ejército franquista hubiera supuesto un duro revés para la defensa de la ciudad de Madrid.

Animated collage, for this week's Kollage Kit's theme.
I used a starter created for me by Josephina54.
[Explore]: This is hands down the most comfortable hotel room I've ever stayed. It is also the most technologically-sound with every imaginable (and unimaginable) gadgets you will ever see.
LCD TV, another TV in bathroom, remote controlled curtains are becoming a standard feature in most top luxury hotels, but no other hotel have these all: a nail dryer; a personal lavazza coffee machine, personal fax machine; outside temperature indicator and many more. It is so high-tech that even every phones and remote control are motion-sensored. When your finger almost reach the phone, the lights and screen suddenly light up indicating the local time and your home town time. Afterwards, it is back on the 'power save' mode.
This room is 54m2 and are among the largest in Japan. Among several other hotels I've stayed in Tokyo, The Peninsula has the best room; but the Mandarin Oriental has the best service; and the Park Hyatt has the best view.
That said, The Pen Tokyo is still my #3 fave hotel of all time. For the ultimate wow-factor, the Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong is the undisputed perennial favourite, followed closely by the Park Hyatt Seoul and Crown Towers Macau, both tie as runner up.

'' I've never met a sunset that I did not like and with each one comes the promise of a new dawn ''
Ten years on from joining Flickr, I wanted to take a moment and a short journey looking back at some of the photographs that have been important to me over the years. They might be commercial successes, personal favourites or special memories, images that are defined steps in my photographic journey and progression.
AS THE SHADOWS CHASE THE SHORELINE
A competition winner that wasn't!
I've always personally favoured a more natural style of photography, trying to faithfully capture what my eyes are seeing at any given moment, be it a rolling misty landscape, bright golden sunrise or the beauty of Mother Nature's animal kingdom. Heavy processing has rarely been an option used, and I am not at all a fan of overly worked, HDR photographs. However this series of shots proved an exception, and luckily for me a very successful one to date.
We were enjoying a lovely couple of weeks in the New Forest National Park in South West Hampshire, I think in Brockenhurst at a leisurely pace amongst the New forester ponies and gorgeous rolling landscapes and decided on a little excursion to Bournemouth for the day. It was just a short twenty mile or so journey using the A338 past St Leonards and our companion on the trip was my Rover 75 Connoisseur SE called Roxy (which after fifteen years is still with me), loaded up with provisions, camera gear and BBC weather services promising a perfect day.
It was indeed a fabulous day and well worth the drive broken only for comfort stops and raids on Starbucks coffee shops for Vanilla lattes and fresh Millionaire shortbreads. Towards the end of the day with the sun beginning to think about taking itself off to bed, and before embarking upon the five hour trip home, we stopped at our final location off undercliff Drive and opposite Menzies East Cliff Court on the golden sands of Boscombe Beach in Bournemouth, in the ceremonial county of Dorset, England. It was now around 6pm and the light was changing to an amazing golden hue which was very beautiful across the golden sands of the beach as I began to shoot some final shots of the incoming tide, the shoreline and the pier behind us.
Away inland to my right in my peripheral vision I noticed a young man and his girlfriend kicking a football about happily and remember thinking that I hope they didn't stray in to my frames and ruin them. Then the girl seemed to completely miskick the ball which had her fella scurrying to the water's edge to retrieve it rather stylishly with a Lionel Messi like flick and turn. The elements all seemed to come together and I really liked the silhouette, clicking four separate frames as he gathered the ball and departed the scene.
I was shooting hand held with my Nikon D7000 and the excellent Nikkor AF-S 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED, at between 78mm and 85mm (35mm film equivalent of about 117mm) over the four shots and after taking those frames, we basically quit for the day, returned to the car and headed back to out B&B accommodation in the New Forest.
I processed the individual shots normally and all of them have gone on to success with publication by Getty Images and Shutterstock as well as being selected in some cases for Flickr Explore and appearances in one of my published books. This particular frame went on to be my most successful from that photo shoot and is a merged photograph from all four of the individual ones, something I had never really done before. To this day I still use the same Adobe Photoshop elements 8 software suite that I originally bought as I really don't like masks and layers and heavy processing, but for this image I uploaded the four images as raw files and used the Photo merge Scene cleaner tool with a brush and eraser to painstakingly transpose each individual outline of the man into a final image. I was very fortunate that limbs and details did not overlap, apart from the left two images of him which took many hours to get just right without losing limbs and minor details, and the result needed just some minor clearing up before being saved as a giant 200MB raw file. I then opened it up and did my usual processing to bring out the details, sharpness and contrast and saved it as a JPeg.
Initially, I uploaded the image to Flickr and then eight months later submitted it to JESSOPS, the largest photographic retailer in the United Kingdom, for possible inclusion in the 'EXPOSURE' feature in their forthcoming Spring 2013 edition of 'IMAGE MAGAZINE'. I'd previously won first place in an earlier competition with them and had several images published in their quarterly magazines. In January 2013 I was delighted to be informed that the frame had won first place and would be printed but my delight was short lived when JESSOPS, without warning went bust and into liquidation literally overnight. They had previously avoided going into administration in 2009 by agreeing a debt for equity swap with lenders HSBC but on January 9th 2013 Pricewaterhouse were appointed as administrators and the chain that first began in 1935 sank. Trading ceased, all shops closed, every single staff member lost their job and in the UK we lost the feel good factor of actually touching camera equipment before we buy it. Just like video killed the radio star, internet cheaper sales had killed off the physical camera store and phone cameras were beginning their domination over DSLR's. A sad day, and for me personally, a photograph that was so nearly printed, a Nikon camera prize that I so nearly received but never did!
A version of the photograph was published in the Shutterstock Commercial Collection on February 1st 2019 and this version was published by Getty Images in the Moment open collection on January 23rd 2019, becoming my 3,376th photograph with them and it has sold through both agents. It's a photograph with great memories of younger days when my energy levels did not so quickly deplete and I had colour to my hair, it's a 'nearly' shot that won a competition and then didn't, and a success that was never expected and which has taught me to on occasions try something different out of my comfort zone.

Roughly 8.5 x 11 inches. I was thinking a bit about the work of Hooded Fang when I collaged in the guy working at the bank of machines that control our lives.
Life.. has betrayed me once again
I accept that some things will never change.
I've let your tiny minds magnify my agony
and it's left me with a chemical dependency for sanity.
Yes, I am falling... how much longer 'till I hit the ground?
I can't tell you why I'm breaking down.
Do you wonder why I prefer to be alone?
Have I really lost control?
I'm coming to an end,
I've realized what I could have been.
I can't sleep so I take a breath and hide behind my bravest mask,
I admit I've lost control
Lost control...

Needless to say, the eagles were not happy with the decision.
A fire broke out at work last week. Luckily it was contained. Shows how quickly we can lose control.
