Title: Eternal Serenity – A Journey Through Traditional Japanese Architecture and Soul
This collection, titled "Japanese Architecture 001," offers a contemplative journey through the heart of traditional Japan, blending structural harmony with the raw beauty of nature. The series explores the deep-rooted aesthetic of wabi-sabi—finding beauty in the transient and the weathered.
From the mist-shrouded, thatched roofs of remote mountain villages to the intimate warmth of a wooden interior lit by a crackling irori hearth, each frame captures a moment of profound stillness. The collection traverses the seasons: the crisp silence of a snow-dusted garden bridge, the vibrant transition of autumn leaves being swept by a solitary monk, and the dramatic atmosphere of a summer thunderstorm illuminated by lightning. Detailed close-ups of rain-slicked wood and artisanal stoneware emphasize the tactile relationship between human craft and the elements. These images invite the viewer to escape the modern rush and reconnect with a world of discipline, nature, and timeless architectural grace.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Rankine Generating Station is a former hydro-electric generating station along the Canadian side of the Niagara River in Niagara Falls, Ontario, slightly downstream from the older Toronto Power Generating Station. It was built for the Canadian Niagara Power Company and named for company's founder William Birch Rankine (b. 1858), a New York City (and later of Niagara Falls) lawyer originally from Geneva, New York who died three days after (in Grafton, New Hampshire) the station opened in 1905 and renamed in 1927. Acquired by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation in 1950 and in 2002, the station became a wholly owned subsidiary of FortisOntario (and part of Canadian owned Fortis Inc.). It was decommissioned in 2006.
It reopened in July 2021 as a tourist site.
The facility, also known as The Canadian Niagara Power Generating Station, contained eleven vertical axle, 25 Hertz generators rated at 8320 kVA each for a total generating capacity of 100 MVA. When opening in 1905, the plant was equipped with only five turbines and generators. The generators were based on a design by Nikola Tesla. Peak capacity was achieved in 1924 when additional 25-cycle generator units were installed. The mechanism consisted of "11 vertical steel shafts, each running from a turbine in the deep pit to a generator 130 feet above". Power was transmitted to a transformer station in another Niagara Falls, Ontario location via underground cables.
A September 2019 report provided these additional specifics:
Housing 11 vertical penstocks, water from the Niagara River would enter through the forebay and drop 180 ft (54.8 metres) before being expelled into a 2,000 ft (609.6 metres) tunnel that emptied into the lower Niagara River, right at the base of the Horseshoe Falls.
The station was licensed to generate a maximum of 76.4MW of 25 Hz AC current using its eleven generators. By the 1950s, most other Ontario power plants were producing 60 Hz power but this station was allowed to continue at 25 Hz since there was adequate demand.
Desde hace un tiempo, influenciado por la pandemia y por mi propia evolución como fotografo, estoy explorando distintas formas de relacionarme con la naturaleza en términos fotograficos. Cuando realiza scouting de lugares, estoy más atento, más receptivo a los gatilladores que generen mi interés con alguna imagen, momento o evento. Una vez identificado este interés, exploro las diversas técnicas y herramientas que he aprendido para poder capturar de la mejor forma la imagen visualizada.
Esta toma es resultado de lo descrito, paso a paso voy avanazando,para poder siempre compartir con ustedes mis Moemntos de Luz, Momentos de vida.
For some time, influenced by the pandemic and by my own evolution as a photographer, I have been exploring different ways of relating to nature in photographic terms. When scouting places, I am more attentive, more receptive to the triggers that generate my interest with some image, moment or event. Having identified this interest, I explore the various techniques and tools that I have learned in order to best capture the image displayed.
This shot is the result of what has been described, step by step I am advancing, so that I can always share with you my Moments of Light, Moments of life.
