There´s an interesting lesson to be learned from this photo. I had been trying to shoot some photos in the recreational area where I live. The light were wrong for long time exposure, people were in the way of my photos, and when it started raining I called it a day. On my way home, driving my car I spotted this scene. I hit the breaks and stopped in the middle of a crossroad. Since there were cars behind me I only had time for one shot and I had to let it count. And I believe it did. What do you think? Appreciate all input. The lesson I learned which of course is obvious is that the best photos don´t come from planning but from being alert and taking the opportunity when it comes your way.

Late afternoon watery sunshine on this emerging crop of winter beans, with a battered Ash tree standing guard.
My next image takes us back to the Mizushima Industrial Complex.
I’m not entirely sure why I keep finding myself drawn to heavy industry whenever I’m in Japan, especially considering we have similar industrial sites here in Europe. Perhaps it’s because Japan seems to offer more vantage points from which these places can truly be observed and appreciated.
For most people, it might seem strange to stand and admire an industrial complex, but for me there’s something deeply captivating about it. The towering turbines, smoking chimneys, and the occasional burst of flame cutting through the darkness. The relative stillness around you, while somewhere in the distance the whole structure hums with life — scraping steel, squealing bearings, hissing pipes, metallic echoes rolling through the air.
It’s an immense machine that never truly sleeps.
There’s also something undeniably futuristic about it, as if you’ve stepped onto another planet. In moments like these, I’m a little kid again, completely lost in imagination.

There’s a moment between breath and thought when the world goes silent and something raw rises to the surface. That is the place this portrait lives. A gaze that refuses to hide, framed in shadow and red, holding equal parts fearlessness and exhaustion. It is the storm behind the eyes that tells the truth long before words ever manage to. A study in stillness. A portrait shaped by darkness and light. A reminder that even quiet hearts burn with their own fierce and complicated fire.

What you see here is the coke plant in Duisburg, in this plant they produce cokes that are pre-heated and cooled-down with water before the cokes are transported to the furnace of the steel factory. The black tower in the middle produces enormous clouds (vaporized water).
En danse, il suffit parfois de presque rien pour perdre l’équilibre. Un pied reste au sol, l’autre s’éloigne, le corps se penche, les bras cherchent leur place. Pendant un instant, on ne sait plus vraiment si elle va tomber ou retrouver son axe.
C’est peut-être ce qui me plaît dans cette image. Elle ne montre pas une danse parfaite. Elle montre ce petit moment où il faut s’adapter, reprendre son équilibre et continuer malgré tout. Sur scène, personne n’attend.
La musique continue, les lumières aussi...
The show must go on.
EN In dance, sometimes it takes almost nothing to lose your balance. One foot stays on the floor while the other moves away, the body leans, the arms adjust. For a brief moment, it is hard to tell whether she is about to fall or find her balance again.
That is probably what I like about this image. It does not show a perfect dance. It shows that small moment when you have to adjust, find your balance again, and keep going anyway.
On stage, nobody waits. The music goes on, the lights stay on...
The show must go on.

The little village of Elgol is one of the most photographed parts of the Isle of Skye. Elgol is an increasingly popular destination for climbers and hill walkers of all levels due to its unparalleled access to the famous Cuillin Hills and the various smaller hills dotted around wherever you look. Elgol is a crofting and fishing village in the Strath area of the Island. The small, sparsely populated village is scattered along the final mile of the road from Broadford.
Though you may never have heard of the little fishing and crofting village of Elgol in the Scottish Highlands, there is a good chance that you have seen photos of Elgol's famous mountain and seascape scenery in postcards, Scottish books and even film scenes and television programmes. From the larger Skye village of Broadford many visitors have turned down the enchanting Elgol road completely unaware of the magnificent scenes that await them around almost every corner. The 15 mile journey over twisty single-track roads will take you past High Pastures Cave, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the area, then sweep you around the corner to the ancient, historical site of Kilchrist church
Every mile you drive on your journey from Broadford to Elgol will fool you into thinking that the scenery simply cannot be bettered. However, you will be proved wrong when you arrive in Elgol and reach the shore and the little fishing harbour. There is simply nothing on earth to compare to the site of the Cuillin Hills beyond the Elgol shore - a breathtaking view whether it is sunny or stormy.
There are various opinions as to the meaning of the name, 'Elgol' (or Ealaghol in the native Gaelic, some suggesting 'The Noble Dale' and others 'The Weeping Swan' (folklore details the story of a Viking captain who perished when his longboat named 'The Swan' came to attack the people of Elgol).

I captured this iconic bronze sculpture on the jetty of Palavas-les-Flots, where a group of fishermen point towards the open sea. The black and white treatment emphasizes the dramatic poses of the figures and the textures of the bronze against the clean lines of the lighthouse and railings. I love how the small silhouettes of people sitting on either side give a perfect sense of scale to this powerful monument. A timeless scene from this little Mediterranean coastal town just minutes from Montpellier.

Walking back down the track after a disappointing, dismal , non productive walk towards Sty head and suddenly the sun burst through the cloud behind us for the first time that afternoon and we dived over the stile into the Lingmell beck and shot away for fifteen minutes .
It made the trip worthwhile after all.

It seemed fitting to post a sunset shot as my farewell to 2011. I hope all of my Flickr friends have had a wonderful holiday season, and I wish you all a happy and prosperous 2012!

this shot captures a fleeting moment where urban geometry meets human presence, taken in a quiet corner of the city. the sharp contrasts of light and shadow paint a striking scene, where the figure is caught walking along a path defined by architecture and sunlight. the lines and shapes create a sense of rhythm and movement, emphasizing the everyday dance of city life. it’s a visual exploration of space, light, and the quiet moments that often go unnoticed. and on the side, a very subtle portrait of @blendenschule ... so this photo is staged

Egypt - Luxor - الأقصر - al-Uqṣur - Ancient Thebes - Θῆβαι - Thēbai - طيبة - UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site on banks of river Nile - Sailing in Felucca (boat) in the evening time
A felucca is a sea-craft, made to a traditional design, with broad canvas sails. Essentially, the craft is reliant on wind-power with no motor, and are dependent upon the wind factor to propel forth, so itineraries are subject to change from time to time. The craft carries between 5-10 passengers comfortably and the deck is strewn with soft colorful cushions and rugs and equipped with a canopy that offers shade and protection from the elements.
Traveling down the Nile by felucca is a 'must-do' in Egypt. The sun setting across the Nile in the evening aboard a graceful felucca can't be beaten.

One of my favorite views at the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum isn’t of a locomotive—it’s looking through these enormous industrial windows. The silhouettes of the shop machinery, the grid of glass and the CB&Q coach outside make the scene feel like it could have been photographed in a working roundhouse 75 years ago.
That authenticity is intentional. Jerry and Laura Jacobson built the museum in Sugarcreek, Ohio, between 2008 and 2012 around Jerry’s remarkable collection of steam locomotives. Its 18-stall brick roundhouse, 115-foot turntable and working back shop were designed not simply to display railroad history, but to preserve the look, feel and function of the places where steam locomotives were once maintained. Today, restoration work continues here, making Age of Steam as much a working railroad facility as a museum.
FR Regard en clair-obscur, suspendu entre confidence et énigme.
La pose effleure le silence, chaque geste retenu comme un secret à demi révélé.
La lumière sculpte le mystère, glisse sur la peau et s’arrête dans les yeux là où tout commence, et rien ne se dit vraiment.
EN A chiaroscuro gaze, suspended between confession and enigma.
The pose brushes against silence, each gesture held like a half-revealed secret.
Light carves the mystery, sliding across the skin and settling in the eyes where everything begins, and nothing is ever fully said.
