Songbirds in Europe
View allAll Photos Tagged glazing
Usually in winter, I photograph birds outside, but the kowhai tree flowering last spring was incredible... and the best view is from inside, where it's elevated and I can photograph straight into the tree. So I spent some time photographing through double glazing! Not my favourite glass... but... the glimpse into birdworld was too strong to resist :-)
Silvereyes are very communal birds, often visiting in small family groups and pairs. Some preening pairs are family, some couples, and some just dating ;-) If one preens too roughly the moment is soon over!
I glimpsed this pair through my lcd quite far back in the tree... I didn't see them at all with my bare eyes. They were there maybe only a minute, but seeing minutes like these makes a lot of happiness :-)
Here's to the world beyond the window...
and to moments of joy 🌼
whether quiet or aloud
my thanks for being here
on the other side of the glass!! :-)
Macro of bathroom window glazing. I only had to take down the highlights a tad. The macro brings out all the details of the pattern. Looks really strange doesn't it? Looks very different in summer months when the colour of the trees outside can be seen. check this one out

I was going to use this composition for an arriving Pendolino but chose instead to use it for the 10.18am Carlisle N.Y. - Tees Dock BSC Export Berth (6E97), which just happened to get a signal check across on the Up platform. DB Cargo Shed 66171 is in charge.
The location is Carlisle and I couldn't let the elegant vertically framed glazing go to waste. Known as Citadel station in British Railways days (and probably still referred to that way by some locals) the architecture sure does the label justice. Perhaps not surprisingly the station was given Grade II Listed status as far back as 1972.

I'm a bit behind so commenting is off for this one. Looks better full screen, and where the unexpected pigeon is more easily spotted!

This set of crockery is 35yrs old and has developed cracks in the glazing in just this one plate! I think we are lucky.
glass bead from Murano, In its reflections I see all the colors of that unforgettable day on Murano, the island near Venice famous for glassmaking. Blue sky, blue sea... HMM!

"The railing of the balconies are in dichroic glass. That is to say that depending on the orientation, the angle of view, a color will appear appearing from blue to yellow, going through the green."

Sandstone cave window. This is on the path behind my Dads house, I rarely walk there but the bluebells led me that way! (More to follow)
HTT!
Glazing in the trees and sections of the river freezing over as well. Captured while hiking around in Gunpowder Falls State Park.

Happy Slider Sunday!

Low air temperature while the big freshwater lake Vättern is still open, often result in ice sculptures like this.
The sun is low and gives the reddish teint.

The Zeche Zollern II/IV (translated: Zollern II/IV Colliery) is located in the northwestern suburb of Bövinghausen of Dortmund, Germany. The Gelsenkirchener Bergwerks-AG projected Zollern in 1898 as a model colliery.
Ground up construction began in 1898 on a new site. Most of the buildings of the colliery were built in solid brickwork by the architect Paul Knobbe and were completed in 1904 with the central engine house, in which the most up-to-date generators and machinery used in the colliery were housed. The architecture and state-of-the-art technology support the transition of Gothic-revival to Art Nouveau and the industrialization of the early 1900s.
Due to deadline pressure, the central engine house was built in iron framework construction with infilling of red brickwork, planned and executed by the Gutehoffnungshütte. The Art Nouveau styled main entrance was designed by the Berlin architect Bruno Möhring, it shows a lead glazing of blue, green and-glass. Counterpart of the main entrance is the big control board of polished marble in brass mounting, with a brass clock hanging from above.
Other buildings on the site include administration bureaus, blacksmith's shop and carpenter's shop, first-aid and fire station with stable, pithead baths, tools store and the central gateway.
In 1969, three years after it closed down, the colliery was recognized as Germany's first technical building monument of international importance. Since 1981, it has been the headquarters of the Westphalian Industrial Museum.
The original pit frames had been scrapped before 1969, two similar constructions from other collieries were reconstructed on this site in the 1980s.
The museum is an anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
