Endangered and on the IUCN red list...These are the rarest breed of Leopard left in the world.
There are only 2500 North Chinese Leopards remaining in the wild in highly fragmented ranges.

Knowing how to dose banality and paradox: this is all the art of the fragment.

A new day breaks over the horizon as I watch through a frosty window. The scattered beauty of the moment gives me hope. Life may be edgy and fragmented but we can still look for the beauty.

The Ruinenberg is a hill in the Bornstedt borough of Potsdam, located north of Sanssouci Park. In 1748, the Prussian king Frederick the Great had a water tank with a capacity of around 7600 m³ built on top to supply the Sanssouci water features, and had it decorated with artificial ruins. From 1841 a surrounding landscape garden was laid out at the behest of King Frederick William IV of Prussia, according to plans designed by Peter Joseph Lenné.
Master Builder Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff and Theater Painter Innocente Bellavite designed blinds of imitation antique ruins. A Monopteros (round temple), three high ionic columns, a small pyramid, and a ruined wall, designed as if from a Roman theatre, were grouped around the pool. (Wikipedia)

So, this shot has been sitting on my hard drive since I took it back in January 2017, I loved the fractured reflection and the sort of dark, surreal alternate reality it conveyed with golden glitter and distorted classic architecture. It's as if the building is saying, "Look at me" but it's not real, it's a distortion of reality taken from the surrounding buildings. Take away the reflection and it's dark building that struggles to convey power and strength, a false power and strength but alluring all the same. So it's with this in mind that it never got posted.
I decided to post it today because of some factors that seem to have come together. One is the obvious end of a four year nightmare and one has to do with me just missing a good walk in the city due to COVID. I've been looking through my archive folders at city pics that never were posted and thinking now is the time. Along this line, I was conversing with Leon, a new contact here on Flickr and was a bit surprised to find that he hadn't seen any architectural shots in my photostream. The reason goes back to not being able to get to NYC or any city for that matter since COVID started so not much architectural or travel photography in quite some time.
With this in mind it seems the time is right to post this shot.

Thanks.
this is again what I always prefer - "nothing"!
Nothing on a planetary scale, just a fragment of a sphere.
Majestic nothingness, there is neither the eternal "makeshift" Eiffel Tower, nor the greatest marvel of Italian marketing - the ever-falling bell tower. Luckily that's not all! And still thousands of people do not crowd and sell hot dogs. Not yet.. ) What a blessing that there is NOTHING !
If you have something inside.. then you need it so much - a little air around !

The composition of this image was achieved IN CAMERA using an Apple iPhone 4S. Post capture processing was indeed done, but only involving the treatment of light and colour. By "breaking the rules" of the iPhone's panoramic function, the image can be skewed, splintered or fragmented into a multi-planarity that could, perhaps be called a form of "Millennial Cubism".
