This shot was taken about four years ago at a very large property that seeks to combine an art museum called Glenstone, consisting of a private collection, an architectural project, and a horticultural one. It is located about 22 miles northwest of the Washington Monument in exurban Maryland. It's a lovely place, and has many pieces of post WWII art, as well as a lovely physical plant and grounds.
This shot involves late afternoon winter light; it was taken after 4:00 pm EST. While the building material tends to be a bit on the blue side, the late light provides a mixture of warmth in the highlights, and cool colors in the shadows.

The most expensive photograph in the world: "Rhein II" by Gursky ...
Many photo enthusiasts rolled their eyes when they heard that Cindy Sherman's “Untitled Nr.96” photo motif was sold at the beginning of 2011 for 3.89 million dollars - and with it the “99 Cent II Diptych” by Andreas Gursky (sold for $ 3.55 million) surpassed. But it only took almost half a year for the Düsseldorf-based photographer and artist to regain the title: The "Rhein II" photo, taken in 1999 on the banks of the Rhine in Oberkassel, was sold in New York as part of the Chriestie`s auction "Post-War Contemporary ”was auctioned at a record price of $ 4.3 million, which makes it currently the most expensive photo in the world.
The photograph auctioned in November 2011 - first made known during the red-green election campaign between Gerhard Schröder and Joschka Fischer - is not only number 1, but also the largest of an edition of 6 with a size of 185.4 x 363.5 cm Motifs. Why the early and well-known photography "Rhein II" is so popular can be guessed by looking at the list of museums and collections in which the remaining works of the edition are located: The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, the Tate Modern in London and the Glenstone Collection in Potomac are in possession of the other photographs.
Update January 5th, 2015: In 1999, experts estimate, the photo was sold for 25,000 to 30,000 Deutschmarks. Today all photographs are in the hands of collectors whose names are not known or have been published.
My friend Wiki told about Rhine II that it is a color photograph by the German artist Andreas Gursky from 1999.
The picture was taken for a second and larger C-Print edition with the motif “Rhine”. The copies are numbered from 1/6 to 6/6 on the back and hand-signed. Gursky shows a radically reduced landscape. Under an overcast sky, the Rhine flows horizontally between grassy dikes. An asphalt bicycle and footpath can be seen under the front dike.
The Lausward power plant, which was originally photographed with, and other port facilities in the background, as well as a person in the foreground walking her dog, were digitally removed by Gursky. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The picture was taken from the dike on Rheinallee in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel between Walkürenstrasse and Hectorstrasse. He had the picture exposed in a C-print process in a size of 185.4 × 363.5 cm and mounted with the picture side on acrylic glass.
The gallery Monika Sprüth in Cologne acquired the print 1/6 and sold it to an anonymous German collector. On November 8, 2011, the picture achieved a price of 3.1 million euros at a Christie's auction in New York, making it at times the most expensive photograph in the world. The identity of the buyer is - as is often the case with auctions by international auction houses, where bids can also be made by telephone - not known.
Another copy (5/6) is in the collection of the Tate Gallery in London. Copy 4/6 is in the possession of the Pinakothek in Munich. Further specimens are in the Museum of Modern Art, New York and in the Glenstone Collection, Potomac.
Another motif, “Rhine” (later referred to as “Rhine I”), dates back to 1996 and dealt with the same theme. It was also printed in an edition of 6 copies in the format 145.8 × 180.8 cm. The 3/6 was auctioned at Sotheby’s in New York for $ 1,805,000 in 2014. The copy 6/6 fetched 2,098,500 US dollars in a previous auction in 2011. [6] Further copies of “Rhein I” exist in the format 186 × 222 cm.

This is yet another detail of the rusted surface of a huge steel panel constituting a small part of Richard Serra's sculpture, Sylvester, a massive structure of bent steel, large enough, I suspect, for fifty people to comfortably wander inside it at the same time. This is basically a picture of a small bit of the huge weathering steel structure, obviously reflecting some of the color of the day's sun and blue sky. Somewhat boosted in post, you'd have a hard time picking out this bit of the sculpture in person, not least because it is not at all unique.
I have a question for you: is this a picture of another artist's work, an abstract image of some weathering metal, a bit of the natural world of weathering metal, a pure post production product, or all or none of the above? The question is not entirely idle, for it bears on which flickr groups this image should be shared in.
I encountered Serra's massive work at an art museum called Glenstone, consisting of a private collection, and located about 22 miles northwest of the Washington Monument in exurban Maryland. It's a lovely place, and has many other post WWII pieces of art, as well as an architecturally interesting physical plant and rather spectacular grounds of over 200 acres. And admission is pretty reasonable: it's free.

"can't stop" ...
I worked on the quadriptych for a couple of days, and although the individual images looked better, I felt it was more important to show you the overall campaign.
Yesterday, while cycling in the sun along the Rhine, I suddenly had the idea for the title, because this is about green, and the word deal has taken on a whole new, unpleasant, terrible meaning since Trump. It was very different in Franklin D. Roosevelt's time, when morals and ethics and a cohesive society were still important.
An early use of the phrase "Green New Deal" was by journalist Thomas Friedman. He argued in favor of the idea in The New York Times and The New York Times Magazine. In January 2007, Friedman wrote:
If you have put a windmill in your yard or some solar panels on your roof, bless your heart. But we will only green the world when we change the very nature of the electricity grid – moving it away from dirty coal or oil to clean coal and renewables. And that is a huge industrial project – much bigger than anyone has told you. Finally, like the New Deal, if we undertake the green version, it has the potential to create a whole new clean power industry to spur our economy into the 21st century.
By the 2009 European Parliament election, the European Green Party's manifesto was titled A Green New Deal for Europe and called for:
a Europe of solidarity that can guarantee its citizens a good quality of life based on economic, social, and environmental sustainability; a truly democratic Europe that acts for its citizens and not just narrow industry interests; a Europe that acts for a green future.
The European Green Deal - European Commission
The European "Green Deal" adopted in 2019 is about how the Commission wants to make the EU a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy and climate-neutral by 2050.

This green gentleman here seems to want to explore the secrets of this photo down to the smallest detail. He probably kept setting off the alarm, but the security staff stayed away and relied on the protective glass...
Gursky's photo ...
Rhine II is a color photograph by the German artist Andreas Gursky from 1999 (at one time the most expensive photograph in the world).
History of creation
The photograph was taken for a second and larger C-print edition with the motif "Rhine". The copies are numbered on the back from 1/6 to 6/6 and signed by hand. Gursky shows a radically reduced landscape. Under an overcast sky, the Rhine flows horizontally between grassy dikes. An asphalted bicycle and footpath can be seen under the front dike. The Lausward power plant, which was originally photographed, and other port facilities in the background as well as a person in the foreground walking their dog were digitally removed by Gursky.
The picture was taken from the dike on Rheinallee in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel between Walkürenstrasse and Hectorstrasse. He had the picture printed using the C-print process in a size of 185.4 × 363.5 cm and mounted with the image side on acrylic glass.
Another motif, "Rhine" (later referred to as "Rhine I"), dates back to 1996 and dealt with the same theme. It was printed in the format 145.8 × 180.8 cm, also in an edition of 6 copies. Copy 3/6 was auctioned at Sotheby's in New York in 2014 for 1,805,000 US dollars. Copy 6/6 achieved 2,098,500 US dollars in a previous auction in 2011. Other copies of "Rhine I" exist in the format 186 × 222 cm.
The Monika Sprüth Gallery in Cologne acquired print 1/6 and sold it to an anonymous German collector. On November 8, 2011, the picture fetched a price of 3.1 million euros at a Christie's auction in New York, making it the most expensive photograph in the world for a time.
The identity of the buyer is not known - as is often the case with auctions by international auction houses, where bidding can also be done by telephone. Another copy (5/6) is in the collection of the Tate Gallery in London. Copy 4/6 is owned by the Pinakothek in Munich.
Other copies are in the Museum of Modern Art, New York and in the Glenstone Collection, Potomac. Since November 2017, a copy has been hanging in the State Chancellery of North Rhine-Westphalia. For the 2002 federal election, Gursky provided the motif for the election campaign of the red-green federal government.

An dem Quadriptychon habe ich ein paar Tage gearbeitet. Obwohl wieder die Einzelbilder bessser wirkten, war mir doch die Gesamtaktion wichtiger euch zu zeigen.
Gestern beim Fahrradfahren in der Sonne am Rhein kam mir dann plötzlich der Gedanke zum Titel, weil es hier um Grün geht und das Wort "Deal" seit Trump eine ganz neue unangenehme, schreckliche Bedeutung bekommen hat.
Das war zu Franklin D. Roosevelts Zeiten noch ganz anders. Da waren Moral und Ethik und eine Gesellschaft mit Zusammenhalt noch wichtig.
Der Begriff „Green New Deal“ wurde schon früh vom Journalisten Thomas Friedman verwendet. Er sprach sich in der New York Times und im New York Times Magazine für diese Idee aus. Im Januar 2007 schrieb Friedman:
Wenn Sie eine Windmühle in Ihrem Garten oder ein paar Solarmodule auf Ihrem Dach aufgestellt haben, dann können Sie froh sein. Aber wir werden die Welt nur dann grüner machen, wenn wir die Natur des Stromnetzes grundlegend ändern – indem wir es von schmutziger Kohle oder Öl auf saubere Kohle und erneuerbare Energien umstellen. Und das ist ein riesiges Industrieprojekt – viel größer, als Ihnen irgendjemand erzählt hat. Und schließlich hat es, wie der New Deal, wenn wir die grüne Version umsetzen, das Potenzial, eine ganz neue saubere Energieindustrie zu schaffen, die unsere Wirtschaft ins 21. Jahrhundert katapultiert.
Bei der Europawahl 2009 trug das Manifest der Europäischen Grünen Partei den Titel „Ein Green New Deal für Europa“ und forderte:
Ein Europa der Solidarität, das seinen Bürgern eine gute Lebensqualität auf der Grundlage wirtschaftlicher, sozialer und ökologischer Nachhaltigkeit garantieren kann; ein wirklich demokratisches Europa, das für seine Bürger und nicht nur für enge Industrieinteressen handelt; ein Europa, das sich für eine grüne Zukunft einsetzt.
Der europäische Grüne Deal - European Commission
Im europäischen, beschlossenen "Green Deal", von 2019, geht es darum, wie die Kommission die EU zu einer modernen, ressourceneffizienten und wettbewerbsfähigen Wirtschaft und bis 2050 klimaneutral machen will.
Zu meinen Fotos ...
Dieser grüne Herr hier scheint die Geheimnisse dieses Fotos bis ins Kleinste erforschen zu wollen. Er hat wahrscheinlich ständig den Alarm ausgelöst, jedoch blieb das Aufsichtspersonal fern und verlies sich auf das Schutzglas ...
Zum Bild selbst ...
Rhein II ist eine Farbfotografie des deutschen Künstlers Andreas Gursky aus dem Jahr 1999.
Entstehungsgeschichte
Die Aufnahme entstand für eine zweite und im Format größere C-Print-Edition mit dem Motiv „Rhein“. Die Exemplare sind von 1/6 bis 6/6 rückseitig nummeriert und handsigniert. Gursky zeigt eine radikal reduzierte Landschaft. Unter bedecktem Himmel fließt der Rhein horizontal zwischen grasbewachsenen Deichen. Unter dem vorderen Deich ist ein asphaltierter Fahrrad- und Fußweg zu sehen. Das ursprünglich mit abgelichtete Kraftwerk Lausward und weitere Hafenanlagen im Hintergrund sowie eine Person im Vordergrund, die ihren Hund ausführt, wurden von Gursky digital entfernt. Aufgenommen wurde das Bild vom Deich an der Rheinallee in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel zwischen der Walkürenstraße und der Hectorstraße. Er ließ das Bild im C-Print-Verfahren in einer Größe von 185,4 × 363,5 cm ausbelichten und mit der Bildseite auf Acrylglas montieren.
Ein weiteres Motiv „Rhein“ (später als „Rhein I“ bezeichnet) stammte bereits von 1996 und befasste sich mit dem identischen Thema. Es wurde im Format 145,8 × 180,8 cm ebenfalls in einer Auflage von 6 Exemplaren abgezogen. Das Exemplar 3/6 wurde 2014 bei Sotheby’s in New York für 1.805.000 US-Dollar versteigert. Das Exemplar 6/6 erzielte in einer vorhergehenden Auktion 2011 noch 2.098.500 US-Dollar. Weitere Exemplare von „Rhein I“ existieren im Format 186 × 222 cm.
Die Galerie Monika Sprüth in Köln erwarb den Druck 1/6 und verkaufte ihn an einen anonymen deutschen Sammler. Am 8. November 2011 erzielte das Bild in New York bei einer Auktion von Christie’s einen Preis von 3,1 Millionen Euro und wurde damit zeitweise zur teuersten Fotografie der Welt. Die Identität des Käufers ist – wie häufig bei Versteigerungen durch internationale Auktionshäuser, bei denen auch telefonisch geboten werden kann – nicht bekannt. Ein weiteres Exemplar (5/6) befindet sich in der Sammlung der Tate Gallery in London. Das Exemplar 4/6 ist im Besitz der Pinakothek in München. Weitere Exemplare befinden sich im Museum of Modern Art, New York und in der Glenstone Collection, Potomac. Seit November 2017 hängt ein Exemplar in der Staatskanzlei von Nordrhein-Westfalen. Zur Bundestagswahl 2002 stellte Gursky das Motiv für die Wahlwerbung der rot-grünen Bundesregierung zur Verfügung, erzählte mir meine Freundin Wiki ...
