#sliderssunday
My last photo from the Berlin government district (which you can find in the first comment) was taken from the Kronprinzenbrücke (Crown Prince Bridge); in that image, you could only see one of the rusty fenders of that bridge; since I'd also uploaded two other images before where you can only see a small part of the Crown Prince Bridge (please check the album, if you like), I thought it's about time to upload a photo of the bridge itself. I have two different versions, taken from both sides of the Spree, which differ quite considerably in their "look and feel", although the bridge itself looks pretty much the same, of course, so it was difficult to choose which I'd upload first. This photo is the more harmonious version because there isn't so much going on in the background – the buildings you can see here are the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (on the left), and the building of the Bundespressekonferenz (Federal Press Conference; on the right) –, while in the other photo of the Crown Prince Bridge which I'd taken four days before this there are the more well-known governmental buildings plus a "slice" of the berlin cube in the background, and there are also nice drama clouds.
So stay tuned for the "drama version" of the Crown Pince Bridge which is even more of a slider than this one; you will see it on one of the future Slider Sundays :)
This final image is an HDR made from exposure bracketing consisting of three single images which I've combined in HDR Efex, and which I've sliderified in Lightroom with the masking tool, and in Color Efex Pro with various filters.
The Crown Prince Bridge was designed by famous Spanish-Swiss architect Santiago Calatrava. His style is unique and the design of his buildings is so distinctive that I think you will always easily recognize a Calatrava design once you've seen one of his constructions. To me, his constructions often have a distinctive sci-fi touch, and they also remind me of alien or futuristic exoskeletons, but that's probably just me ;) The origins of the Crown Prince Bridge date back to 1709, when a simple wooden bascule bridge, the "Thiergartenbrücke", was erected across the Spree. Much later, from 1877 to 1879, a new wrought-iron bridge was built in the current location, and that bridge was named "Kronprinzenbrücke" in honour of Prussian Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm (Frederick III) who later was German Emperor for 99 days until his death in 1888. That bridge was heavily damaged in WWII. Since it connected the Berlin boroughs of Tiergarten (West-Berlin) and Mitte (East-Berlin), it was finally torn down in 1961 after the Berlin Wall had been erected. The new Crown Prince Bridge which was opened in 1996 was the first new bridge construction that (re-)connected the former Western and Eastern sectors after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Happy Sliders Sunday, and have a nice week ahead, dear Flickr friends!

A small cloud envelopes the top on One World Trade Center where the top of the building meets with communication mast atop on a cool fall evening. The rebuilding of the World Trade Center site was delayed while the New York City, New York State, Port Authority of NYNJ and Silverstein Properties squabbled about the final configuration of the site post the tragedy of September 11, 2001. One World Trade Center did not emerge from the slurry wall of the Ground Zero until 2012, 11 years after the tragic events, the final configuration and location represent careful studies from a security perspective. What many do not realize is that it’s design features 8 sides, representing the 4 sides of each of the original 6 & 7 World Trade Center, the original Twin Towers. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @wtc @nycurbanism @nybucketlist
The elegant classic stone Egyptian styled obelisk that honors George Washington, who served as the victorious commander in chief the Continental Army of the American Revolutionary War, president of the Constitutional Convention, this nation’s first President, founding father and visionary who carefully chose the site the fledgling nation’s capital at what today is Washington DC towering at 555 feet, beautifully lit at night in the center of the National Mall in Washington DC in the image. When it was completed in 1884, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world. In 2011, a 5.8 earthquake occurred 84 miles southwest of DC in Virginia that cracked the monument, causing injuries although minor to visiting occupants within it, I felt the quake at my desk at work in Lyndhurst New Jersey. It was closed as a results of 150 cracks with the heaviest damage to the pyramidion or top of the monument. It reopened in 2014, I do have images in my image archives I’ll have to dig up of the monument clad in scaffolding to post. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @nationalparkservice @nationalmallnps @visitwashingtondc
Omijima island

The entire island of Omijima is designated as Kita-Nagato Kaigan National Park, and you can enjoy various landscapes. And the remote islands of Hagi City in the background were also created by magma activity in the past. It called as Hagi Geopark.
青海島は島全体が北長門海岸国定公園に指定されていて、さまざまな景観が楽しめます。そして背景に見える萩市の離島もかつてのマグマの活動で作られたもの。萩ジオパークの一部となります。

A seal on the shores of Moku Nui which is part of the Mokulua Island State Seabird Sanctuary resting on the sand, no he was not dead but quite alive. Seals only sleep with half their brain when they are out in the wild like this, it is called half sleep. Basically one side sleeps the other stays alert for predators. A native Hawaiian explained as we brought our kayak back the waters just outside Moku Nui are full of tiger sharks waiting for seals for meals. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot @oahu_hawaiii @visit.hawaii #seal
