Passed this hundreds of times before noticing it wasn't just a fence. On the very disused Warrington and Altrincham Junction Railway (I think) where it crosses the A6144 in Carrington.
Day 177/365
Since it had already become quite dark by the time I got to the self-portraits on my tonight's tour of the Osthafen lock, I had to take this at long exposure.
Unfortunately, the wind was always blowing my hair into my face so that it was tough not to get all blurry. I only took 4 SPs, the other 3 turned out total crap (cropped feet and all), and this one was halfway acceptable, but only after playing around a bit with the levels tool in GIMP.
Btw: Someone must have been up there before with a pretty low opinion of a united Europe. Actually I only recognized this when I saw the picture itself, and not while I was looking for an interesting backdrop up there. So much for my photographic eye ;-)

I made this card for a gamer friend's birthday. I used the Balloon Strings background because it reminded me of wires.
Eemhouse Amersfoort NL
Client Municipality of Amersfoort / NRA
Architect Neutelings Riedijk Architects
Project size 15,000 m² GFA.
Lead time 2007-2014
Construction costs € 55 million
Various cultural and educational institutions in Amersfoort come together in the Eemhuis/Eemhouse: the Eemland Library, Art Schools, Eemland Archive and Kunsthal KAdE. The building is located in an inner-city redevelopment area close to the city center.
The building is organized as a vertical stack of the aforementioned programs. This setup stimulates collaboration between users and visitors. Through collective initiatives, a wider audience will visit the Eemhuis. The KAdE art hall is right next to the public square with a large exhibition hall that is half sunk into the floor. This large hall is surrounded by an enfilade of smaller exhibition spaces. The library in turn is directly connected to the public space of the Eemplein. The public character of the square is continued inside, where the library extends from the ground floor in a high hall upwards like a staircase with large, wide terraces, accessible to everyone. The Eemland Archive, the collective memory of Amersfoort, hangs above the library space like a treasure chest.
The facade of the Eemhuis has 24,000 small and large aluminum spheres. The upper floors therefore deviate from the brick plinth. The outer façade extends to the interior and the motif refers as an expression of art to the art education that is housed behind the façade. In addition, the spheres symbolically refer to the shield of the dragon slayer Sint-Joris, which is depicted in the municipal coat of arms of Amersfoort.
The municipality has the ambition to make this area, the Eemkwartier, the "second city center" of Amersfoort. In 2003 the Bolles + Wilson agency was commissioned to make a master plan for the Eemkwartier. Designer Peter Wilson provided a space that opens to the river in two ways, with a diverging perspective and a sloping slope towards the quay. The square walls, designed by Mecanoo (residential-retail building), Dick van Gameren (hospitality building), Drost and Van Veen (residential), Rijnboutt Van der Vossen (cinema) and O'Donnell + Tuomey (residential) ), just like in the historic center, would be made of masonry. Bureau Sant en Co worked out the square with stairs and greenery, the cars disappeared into an underground parking garage. The Eemhuis was to be the crowning glory of the new neighborhood.

A train of Cross Country passing over the level crossing by Lydney Station.
Cross Country is a franchise owned by Arriva UK Trains. It operates inter city and other long distance services which do not serve Greater London. Owning no stations of its own, it terminates at Birmingham New Street.
Actually taken from the window of a moving car (as a passenger) going over a level crossing for anyone about to cry "Trespass!"
