Nach dem Großen Brand von 1842 wurde das bis dahin weitgehend überbaute Areal des heutigen Rathausmarktes völlig neu geplant. In diesem Zusammenhang entstand am Mündungsfleet der Alster, dem Alsterfleet, vor dem Stau der ebenfalls neuen Schleusenbrücke ein Bassin, die Kleine Alster. Chateauneuf entwarf für die Nordwestseite einen Arkadengang im italienischen Stil, dessen ursprünglicher Anstrich nach neuen Befunden ockergelb war, später aber weiß verputzt wurde und dieses charakteristische Aussehen bis heute bewahrt hat. Nach verschiedenen Veränderungen wurde 1951 der ursprüngliche Zustand wiederhergestellt, die Farbe blieb weiß. Die Alsterarkaden gelten zusammen mit den dahinterliegenden Häusern als prominentes Beispiel für die sogenannte Nachbrandarchitektur.
Der Bau wurde bis 1843 im Verlauf des vormaligen Vogelswalls ausgeführt, die dahinter liegenden fünfstöckigen Häuser entstanden in den Folgejahren bis 1846. Lediglich das direkt am Jungfernstieg gelegene Eckhaus entstand erst um die Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert.

After the Great Fire of 1842, the area of today's Rathausmarkt (City Hall Market), which had been largely built over until then, was completely redesigned. In this context, a basin, the Kleine Alster (Small Alster), was created at the mouth of the Alster, the Alsterfleet (Alster Canal), in front of the dam of the Schleusenbrücke (Lock Bridge), which was also new. The architect Chateauneuf, commissioned with the planning of the city’s rebuilding, designed an arcade in the Italianate style for the northwest side, whose original painting was ochre yellow according to new findings, but was later plastered white and has retained this characteristic appearance to this day. After various changes, the original state was restored in 1951, the color remained white. The Alster Arcades, together with the houses behind them, are considered a prominent example of so-called post-fire architecture.
The construction was carried out until 1843 in the course of the former Vogelswall, the five-story houses behind it were built in the following years until 1846. Only the corner house located directly on the Jungfernstieg was built only at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
the sunset last night just after i came home from camp was magnificent..i could not capture the full beauty..but this is what i can share with you from my canon ixus50..i love to share the icelandic sunsets with you!
the thickness of the clouds and the colors are something that astonishes me..and to see it life..is a priviledge..this time of night..an how the clouds split the sky into totally different colors..
For Sam and I, this was our fifth consecutive New Years campout.
After two years of no snow, we were finally blessed with an abundance of white stuff on our local mountains! We went up the main Seymour trail for about 30 minutes and just before reaching Brockton Point, we found a decent spot to set up camp.
This year we built an igloo. Yes, Sam spent New Years sleeping inside an IGLOO!!! Unfortunately he crashed out around 11:30 and had no interest in getting up for the light-painting. So here are the four snow elves who helped write in 2016.

Five lives converge on this narrow stage,
A sidewalk symphony of the modern age.
Each step a note in the day's grand score,
A dance of humanity, forever more.

Stenciled numbers on a weathered wall next to a roll-up door.
Weathered, decaying subjects and subjects with strong patterns attract me, and this one works on both counts. I photographed it a few years ago while wandering around in San Francisco and poking my camera into odd little corners and alleys. This is in a shoreline area that was once a location of true maritime industry, but which is today much like the rest of San Francisco — in other words a place for small offices, start-ups, restaurants and similar enterprises.
The stenciled numbers did catch my attention when I first saw this little scene. Initially I think that their weathered character may have been responsible. But more recently I have wondered about them. Do they still mean something or are they now remnants divorced from an earlier context? Is the message “5” or is it “55?” And what, if anything, is the relationship between the two different fonts used?

Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

Homer's Odyssey: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide. . . Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; --Homer's Odyssey translated by Samuel Butler

This guy is a lizard, not a snake. Notice the front and rear legs! We occasionally see them at Airlie, and they're very interesting to observe.
numbers @ the river site - In fact there is no five and I have no idea why there is a cross instead. Anyone … ???
Poem.
Salmon-pink sky, silhouetted headlands and an islanded, silver-studded lake branded by the sun.
Five and twenty miles away, virtually lost in the evening ozone, the islands of Eigg and Rum fade upwards in the glare, to oblivion.
Here on the northern slopes of Morar, sheep graze, unmindful of the blinding, dazzling sunset.
Pine-fringed islands lead the eye sea-wards where a two mile river gushes the lake into Morar Bay – a white-sand haven.
Here at a five hundred foot elevation the path turns northwards linking Morar – a nearly fjord, to Nevis, a real fjord.
Mountains interspersed by east-west stretches of sea-water typify this remarkable coastline.
Bounded by fifty beaches and islands the perspectives are breath-taking at every twist and turn.
A shimmering haze suspends the senses, time seems to slow and the moment stretches, like Dali-esque “floppy” clocks.
Space, time and reality blur and merge, soothing the senses.
The moment passes, but for that moment,
Karma, Nirvana, Paradise.
