Street photography from Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
A previously unpublished shot from Newcastle Central Station captured in November 2018. Laden with my travel case and camera gear baggage I couldn't resist this shot as I waited for the train to Edinburgh. Enjoy!
To truly notice the enormous size of this platform and its moais, it’s ideal to walk around the back. As with the other ahu, at some point in history, the Rapa Nui Moai toppled the Tongariki. But beyond that, the earthquake that measured 9.5 points on the Richter scale, which struck the Chilean coast of Valdivia in 1960, caused a large tsunami in the Pacific Ocean; with waves that reached up to 11 meters high in Easter Island, waves that hit the ahu and dragged the moai up to 100 meters inland, damaging them significantly.

At Hamamatsuchō station, Tokyo (if you are wondering, it is that name that is written as はままつちょう on the middle pillar).
No, the platform isn't straight in this shot - but you can't get everything, especially not when you take a photo on the go, just because you like the position of the two sitting men with their phones (that there are three other men in the photo who also happened to be busy with their phones was just a thematically happy coincidence).

The tradition of pond building in the northern Upper Palatinate is almost 1000 years old. Around Tirschenreuth there are still countless fish ponds for carp, pike or tench. Cycling and hiking trails lead through this unique water landscape with its 4700 pools. The highlight of every tour is the 20m high ladder to heaven. It is only 1.4 kilometers outside of Tirschenreuth and offers a breathtaking view. And it is the showpiece of local architecture.
The construction of the ladder to heaven with its slender steel columns promises maximum transparency to the landscape on the one hand, and on the other hand the stair-like archaic overall shape provides a unique viewing experience.
The opposing arrangement of the two staircases automatically results in a slim gate situation from both sides, which once again addresses the issue of entering this special landscape for cyclists and pedestrians. The platform itself offers an all-round panoramic view of the depth and breadth of the landscape and can be used for didactic explanations. Furthermore, it allows a protected observation point for the native, special fauna.

The viewing platform was constructed to support the outfall. It connects to the foreshore walkway system and provides the public elevated access to the water’s edge and views of Hawke Bay and back to the city.
Thanks to all who take the time to visit and comment on my photo stream....it's greatly appreciated. Also for all of the invitations to join or post my photos into groups!
Trying something different by making it black and white (mostly because there was no way I could make it look good in colour).
Built in 1222 A.D. by Minister Anantathura, who also set up an inscription in stone. The temple rests on a high platform and faces east. The interior walls are decorated with mural painting.
Located in the route between New Bagan and Nyaungu, this temple is just a few meters away from a local village. The temple itself is different from the rest with a white exterior.
