Die Langen Foundation ist eine 2002 gegründete private Kunststiftung. Sie widmet sich der Kunstsammlung von Marianne und Viktor Langen. Die Stiftung unterhält ein von dem japanischen Architekten Tadao Ando entworfenes Ausstellungsgebäude auf dem Gelände der ehemaligen NATO-Raketenstation bei Neuss.
...die vom russischen Architekturbüro SPEECH entworfen wurde.
Hier ein Auszug aus dem Museumsführer:
"Das Museum für Architekturzeichnung liegt auf dem Gelände des Pfefferbergs in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. Das Areal wurde 1848 für die Brauerei Pfefferberg erschlossen und weist eine wechselvolle Geschichte auf.
Seit 1990 haben sich in den meist unter Denkmalschutz stehenden Gebäuden Kultureinrichtungen, Galerien und Künstlerateliers angesiedelt.
Gefärbter Beton und Glas bilden die Fassaden des Gebäudes, eine Kombination, die unter verschiedenen Aspekten kontrastreich und vielschichtig ist.
Sowohl die plastische Gestaltung des Betons als auch seine Herstellung und der konstruktive Einsatz sind bemerkenswert und prägen neben der Kubatur das außergewöhnliche Erscheinungsbild des Museums.
Die geschlossene Gebäudeoberfläche ist dekoriert mit stark vergrößerten Fragmenten architektonischer Skizzen in Reliefform. Die überdimensionierten Linienzeichnungen verweisen auf die Nutzung des Gebäudes als Ausstellungsort und Archiv.
An vielen Stellen im Inneren des Museums kehren die Gestaltungselemente der Fassade wieder und manifestieren den Designcode des Hauses; diesem Prinzip folgen auch die eigens entworfenen Türbeschläge..."
This house was undermined by a flood a handful of years ago. Slowly the house collapsed with its belongings still inside. Located in rural Brown County, Ohio a few miles north of the Ohio River.

Supporting the 'Temple of the Winds' folly in The Neale, Co. Mayo, Ireland are the foundations of a castle built c. 1776 that was never completed. This image was taken the morning before my previously-posted star trails shot of the exterior.
Sand castles built on a small sandy beach overlook Lake Cascade in Idaho during sunset. The mountains in the distance are obscured by low-lying clouds... the remnants of a storm.

I am making the rounds again, visiting many of the old abandoned houses I have photographed over the years. Many aren't around anymore, and some are deteriorating very rapidly. I am doing more film these days, as I both like the quality of film slightly more and the fact that images are "saved on film". I also photographed this place today on film and will share the photos once they are developed.
ja, der Victor, lieber Paul, war mit Recht sehr erfolgreich und konnte dieses moderne Gebäude schon in den 70er Jahren inszenieren ... natürlich nur, damit ich es dir heute zum Geburtstag schenken kann ...

Exiting the Brant Foundation you walk through this lovely tree lined area to the street.
Happy Fence Friday
We caught some of the exhibitions at the Rencontres photography Festival in Arles. This building was hosting a display by the Manuel Rivera-Ortiz.Foundation for documentary photography

This B-25D Mitchell nicknamed 'Grumpy' is the oldest production B-25 still flying in the world. The paint job looked it, too! While everyone loved the look, an airplane that sees all kinds of Washington weather needs a good solid coat of paint as protection from the elements, so this old bird is getting a fresh coat. This was my last opportunity to photograph 'Grumpy' in 25-year-old paint (at least for another 25 years!).
The Village Weaver is one species of 8 predominantly yellow coloured seed-eaters that flock together and with every breeding season build fresh hanging nests in a large communal tree.
Often they share that tree with 2 or 3 other species of weaver birds, making ID sometimes a challenging game.
What I loved about this particular tree was that the birds were in different stages of building, so we could truly see how they start the structure - they build the "frame" - a strong, sturdy circle first, beautifully demonstrated by this male Ploceus cucullatus in his prime :) I hope he found a mate happy to nest in what he is building :)
PS: I'd like to add, that we were at the Bird-Hide at Panic Lake, near Skukuza Rest Camp in Kruger National Park. The tree was on the other shore across the lake and I used my 500mm zoom less, had to crop very heavily and I used Topaz to slightly upscale and denoise the image, to be able to show the detail of the nest ring.
There was no disturbance of the birds; we were too far away from them, so we could watch their natural behaviour :)
Gehry, always overdoing it... here again, at Foundation Louis Vuitton - because we all know "98 percent of everything that is built and designed today is..." I think he is just in the expensive part of the 98 percent.
The set of Asimov's "Foundation" trilogy is my dad's...the tea set is my mom's from their wedding...and the unique retro teapot is something I picked up at a thrift store in Pittsburgh but have since passed on to a friend who appreciates vintage pieces even more than I do.
This is also appropriate because my dad got me into sci-fi but my mom got me into tea, and all three subjects were made circa the 60's and 70's.

We had a fab day today at the raptor foundation ! Plenty of opportunity to get some great images like this !
Hamburg, Germany. 2008 to 2016.
Taken on 135, color negative film.

Technical Notes: Minolta XD7. The film emulsion was probably Rossmann's house brand of a ASA400 film, made in Japan, likely relabeled Fuji film sold under the Rossmann brand. This film does not exist anymore. Scanned on a PrimeFilm XAs in RAW with VueScan Pro, then processed in Lightroom with Negative Lab Pro.
Our church mission trip took us to the village of Ch'ixtotic, in the state of Chiapas, Mexico, where we worked and worshipped with the people of the Presbyterian congregation there and helped them lay the foundation for a new church building.
Not a bad view from the worksite, if you know what I mean. This was sunrise one morning. Loved the fog hanging in the valley and the colors of the sunrise in the sky.
So, I did a thing. And that thing was redesigning SWF.

Foundation repair is a traumatic experience. Homes in the Houston (Texas) suburbs are built on concrete slabs over a clay-rich soil that expands and contracts with the seasons. Given enough years, foundation cracks are common. Using the weight of the house, cylindrical concrete piers are driven into the soil until refusal, about 16 feet (5 meters) down in 14 locations around the affected sides of the house in our case. Then the home is jacked back into level. Doors are closing properly again. Not sure our ornamental shrubbery will survive the required transplantation, but if not we'll be planting Texas natives that attract butterflies. Angel, shown here, was an industrious and pleasant worker. Thanks Angel.
