Sculpture de David Renaud, 2011.
"Etre à la fois au-dessus, dans et devant le paysage, c'est l'expérience que propose David RENAUD avec "Table-relief", en référence aux modes de représentation du territoire. La table d'orientation, emblème d'un tourisme qui contemple, est associée ici au plan-relief, retranscription du paysage en volume, à vocation stratégique et militaire. Cette contradiction de la "Table-relief", entre tourisme et défense du territoire, résonne avec le Col de Larche, à la fois frontière défendue par les Forts qui la jalonnent et lieu de passage, d'échanges entre cultures. Imaginée comme un point de départ, cette sculpture est une invitation à s'en détacher : en arpentant les crêtes, en suivant les failles et les pics, le marcheur fait de la montagne un espace vécu."

One building is clear or rather in focus. I enjoy doing these and the hard part is which way to go. Which object to unlayer.
Happy Slider Sunday
Sandstone relief created by erosion in a rock face, "Arches Gorge", Sinai Peninsula, Egypt (archive image).
Durch Erosion entstandenes Relief aus Sandstein in einer Felswand der "Bogenschlucht", Sinai-Halbinsel, Ägypten (Achivbild).
I’ve been in a bad place recently so I needed to get in a good place. I’m not growing old gracefully, like many in their mid sixties I’m on the wrong end of the average in developing common age related problems and rather than getting on with it I’m letting them effect my life. My anxieties are stressing me out and zapping my confidence. Definitely the pandemic has exacerbated my black moods, but again this is just a case of me allowing it too. So I needed to make an effort to get in my happy place, and there is nothing better for me to get out there and climb a mountain. So yesterday I actioned a plan I had bubbling in my head for a week to get to the lakes and do a gut busting climb up to Dalehead from Rosthwaite, and if I’m going to get up a 4am and drive for two and a half hours I might as well throw in some early morning photography. Believe it or not considering my many trips to the lakes I can’t remember ever standing on the shores of Derwent water. The reasons for that is that I usually head upwards, secondly Borrowdale is very touristy with space and loneliness is what I crave, however at 6:30am in the morning went I’m park the car I have that in spades. So here I am on the shores of Derwentwater the first thing I do is take the photo millions of other have done before me, but there is a reason for that, don’t you think? After a happy hour catching the morning I head off to Rosthwaite to really throttle back that relief value. Once the boots are on, the packs on my back and I walk away from the car everything is forgotten and my only thoughts go towards the next 2500 feet of ascent and did I say I was smiling.
Almost right in the middle, between Cranberry Grade to the west and 17 Mile Grade to the east, Oakland, MD serves as one of the few tranquil spots on the Mountain Sub. This loaded dude from Grafton left his helpers behind at Terra Alta and in the next ten miles will encounter a steep descent down 17 Mile Grade just east of Altamont.

"Plasteblock" Nr. 683, Halle-Neustadt, Germany.
The GDR wanted to test as much plastic as possible in this housing block. However, windows made of Glakresit, skylights made of polyester, plastic panels and foams for thermal insulation, and PVC doors remained a one-off fashion, as did bathrooms with plastic bathtubs and sinks. Only plastic facade cladding on Neustadt balconies became commonplace during the GDR era.
Design (1965): K. Fietsch und Kollektiv
Le décor des élévations de la salle est dans l'ensemble fidèle au prix-fait du 2 octobre 1698, qui précise la technique à employer pour les peintures murales, avant de donner la composition générale du décor : les quatre murs de la salle seront peints comme à fresque, avec un ordre d'architecture en trompe l'œil qui régnera tout autour, en faux marbre blanc, garni de pilastres en faux porphyre veiné, aux chapiteaux de couleur or composés de symboles, les frises agrémentées de fleurs de lys et d'ornements en rapport avec l'idée de la justice, de la guerre et de la paix ; les pilastres seront disposés en fonction des poutres, des ouvertures et des angles de la pièce, et les pans de mur qu'ils délimitent ornés aux armes du duc du Maine, prince souverain de Dombes. Au-dessus des portes, des bas-reliefs feints, en camaïeu de couleur rehaussés d'or, contiendront des scènes historiées relatives au thème constant, l'auteur étant libre de leur choix. Enfin, un tableau du Christ en croix, peint à l'huile sur toile, placé au centre du mur principal, au-dessus des sièges des magistrats, parachèvera le décor.

Oelde, Burg Stromberg
Stromberg präsentiert sich als weitläufige Burganlage. Die Burg, die ihre Blütezeit zwischen dem 12. und 15. Jh. erlebte, existiert größtenteils nur noch als Ruine. Erhalten blieben Reste der Umfassungsmauer und der als Hauptzugang dienende Paulusturm mit seiner aus dem 13. Jh. stammenden Glocke. Auch ein spätgotisches Burgmannshaus mit steilem Giebel, das Mallickrodthaus, der Burgbrunnen und die Kreuzkapelle haben dem Verfall widerstanden. Die dreischiffige gotische Hallenkirche stammt aus dem Jahr 1344, beinhaltet aber auch Reliquien aus der Vorgängerkirche vom Beginn des 13. Jh.
created with a card packaging box, , photographed and used for another design, this piece lived for about ten minutes!
Relief is always closer than we sometimes think...in the form of a new day. Night's separation of our days allows the world to catch its breath and to catch up. Seemingly impossible situations and overwhelming decisions crumble to digestible perspectives upon a decent night's sleep.

Later in the day (taken from the same place as the recent shot I posted), when the sun had moved around, the relief of the cliff face of the island made itself known.

"The Externsteine relief is a monumental rock relief depiction of the Descent from the Cross scene, carved into the side of the Externsteine sandstone formation (www.flickr.com/photos/tabliniumcarlson/54607905469/in/dat...) in the Teutoburg Forest....
It is the oldest relief of this type known north of the Alps, dated to the high medieval period (likely the 12th century)." [Wikipedia]
