Those who want to take part... feel free.. I can't promise to get to everyone... But I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to get some practice in. ♥ Thank you ♥
... "Tre Torri" area where the old urbanist project meets the most modern one...
Zaha Hadid Architects’ (ZHA) 170-meter-tall Generali Tower has topped out at 44 stories in Milan, Italy. The Generali Tower, along with two other towers, forms the centerpiece for the CityLife masterplan to revitalize the old site of Milan’s International Fair, which closed in 2005.
Through the redevelopment, which began in 2004, the site will be open “to year-round public use, with the inclusion of new civic spaces, public parks, and residential buildings, in addition to shopping areas and corporate offices, all with direct transport connections via the Tre Torri station on the line 5 of the city’s metro system.
Generali Tower (Lo Storto (The Twisted One in English) is a skyscraper under construction in Milan, Italy that will reach a height of 185 m (607 ft) with 44 floors (+ 3 floors basement), and a total floor area of about 67,000 square metres. Its designer is the Anglo-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid. The geometry of the building is that of a warping shape, where both the floors dimension and their orientation vary along the tower axis.
The structure is concrete and composite. A central core acts as main horizontal stiffening and resisting element. Foundations are of mixed raft and piles type, where the piles are used as settlement reduction devices. The base raft is a 2,5 m thick concrete slab, resting on 64 piles arranged in clusters and points under the main load points. In order to resis the main torsional effects due to the warped column arrangement, the core lintels above main doors feature composite solutions with a mixed use of steel elements, rebar and concrete. Due to the specific form-dependent deformation effects, a highly sophisticated stage analysis both for construction and long term effects has been effected. A steel, free form podium for commercial use surrounds the base of the building.
The building serves as the headquarters of the second largest insurance group in the world by revenue, Assicurazioni Generali.

Yes, this is REAL money. Piles and stacks of money - coins and US dollars.
View on Black and LARGER.
Although it looks like a ton of money, there is only $10,000.00 dollars here in real money. (Even so, we were happy to get this much cash safely back into the bank when the shot was over!). Those are real money bags (with coins) from the Denver Mint and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. And those are real $100 bills (before the recent design change). We were able to style this shot using only 10 grand because many of the stacks of $100 bills have ones underneath. It takes a couple of hours to style a shot like this.

I just self-published my first photo book (photos of the Grand Teton NP). You can see a preview of it at my blog, Your Photo Vision. Since this is a blog read by photographers and wanna-be photographers, I also discuss the advantages and pitfalls to self-publishing through the new print-on-demand format. I'd love to hear your comments.
I often see a man walking the trails of Mapleton Park in Moncton very early in the morning leaving little piles of seeds for the birds and the squirrels.
Stacked Stills Continued...a bit of laziness... no idea for another stack of something... so I opened my cupboard where I keep my bowls and made a few shots... and added some presets...

Here's a farm stead and barn at the west edge of Pella while I decide upon a different series. This place used to be into agricultural production back in the day before they sold off their lands for gravel production. Now it is mostly a left over pile of detritus around the remaining barn. Old wood, old plastic, old fencing, old tomato cages and an old wheel barrow... dumped in piles. Maybe they should have stuck with agriculture. Loads of young folk are starting organic farms around the valley. The folks in India relate how cows can't be used for milk and cheese after they are used for their meat.
Back in June, when the greenup was in full swing, I made a couple of treks out to Pella Crossing Park in Hygiene after BoCo reopened it. My first was a walk around one loop at Pella East. A crew was still working on replanting natural plant life. The natural habitat at Pella East is slowly recovering after getting flushed downstream. Boulder County eventually reopened Pella Crossing Park after the flood a decade ago. Who thought that a flood plain with multiple gravel pits, a river bottom and ditches would ever flood in the age of (whisper) global warming... Pruett and his Petroleum Parade is watching me and reporting to Sessions on his special Bat Phone. We have met the enemy and they are all liars and scum artists. 3,000 lies in two years; he's making Nixon look good.
This all started when Ronnie in Hygiene related that the park on the both sides of the highway south from Hygiene had reopened. It's been some time since I wandered the area so in June I checked out Sunset pond at Pella and found this natural path side junk pile. My Pella stories are tales from two different days as I found them.
Pella was an original St. Vrain river ford settlement after the mid 1800s, like Longmont, that long disappeared unlike Longmont. Now, there apparently are several prairie castle owners who prefer this flood plain and the flodd that barely missed. The mini-community of Hygiene eventually sprung up north of old Pella. First, I visited here, the park's east side of North 75th Street south of Hygiene. Any trek out here is pleasant. Boulder County volunteers were near reseeding some damaged area. The county already stood the flood damaged out house back up. HA.

Finally got a huge over 60' tall damaged Sycamore removed. The first company quit after the guy got up and saw how dangerous it was. Just walked off from a $2,000 job without picking up the big piles of branches already on the ground. "It's free for you." and off he went. Hired another company. They had to call a more experienced guy after going up but he got it down with minimal damage to my yard. The guy in the lower right hand photo shows how massive this tree was. I've been worried about it even before the Big Freeze in 2021. April 2022.

So far this spring there have been 32 carloads of new ties unloaded at New Richmond. The piles are getting bigger and showing up in places where they normally don't. CN is currently reconfiguring the layout of the autoport they are building to include intermodal container loading. Not sure if the changes will impact the planned mid-summer opening. I'll know things are happening as soon as the piles start going down. April 17, 2020.
The tiles made by Johnsons in Stoke that didn't make it past quality control. Most of these will be pulverised and have a sort of second chance to make it to the sales shelf.
Een heipaal is van gewapend beton en het heiblok is van metaal. Om te voorkomen dat het heiblok het beton afbreekt, wordt er een blok hout tussen het heiblok en de paal gelegd. Dat mag dus alle klappen opvangen en overbrengen op de paal. Niet alleen wordt dat blok hout samengeperst. Bij dat samenpersen komt zoveel energie vrij, dat het hout heel heet wordt, en spontaan begint te roken en te blakeren. Eens in de twee palen is het houtblok aan flarden en moet er een nieuw blok hout in. Het heiblok komt dan met een dikke rookpluim van de heipaal af, en het ruikt naar een goed kampvuur.
English:
A pile is made of reinforced concrete and the pile driver is made of metal. To prevent the pile driver from breaking the concrete, a block of wood is placed between the pile driver and the pile. This block of wood is allowed to absorb all the blows and transfer them to the pile. Not only is this block of wood compressed. During this compression, so much energy is released that the wood becomes very hot and spontaneously starts to smoke and scorch. Once in the two piles, the block of wood is in tatters and a new block of wood has to be put in. The pile driver then comes off the pile with a thick plume of smoke and it smells like a good campfire.
