100 Pictures - #18 - City Scene...
my homage to the top album 'breakfast in america' by Supertramp... made entirely of kitchen paraphernalia, I deliberately left the rather obvious salt pot on the left so that no-one was fooled ;0) ... took quite a while to set the shot up, but a single lamp behind a white reflecter gave me the light and - unfortunaltely, a slighty more 'textured' sky than I'd hoped for... overall reasonably happy with the results though, having been such a labour of love to get to this point. The end product is prettty much SOOC apart from converting the RAW file.

As we approach the settlement of Keylong, looking back at where we came from. The thin horizontal lines on the mountain are parts of the road we just came from!
The entry in to Ladakh, this is the Manali-Leh highway.
One of the highest and most rugged highways in the world, the journey on the Manali - Leh highway is one that leaves the traveller gasping for breath on all accounts...dream like landscapes taking your breath away at almost every turn and sheer breathlessness from the lack of oxygen as you cross some of the highest roads and mountain passes in the world.
It connects the Manali valley to Kullu valley, Lahaul and Spiti and Ladakh and is open only between June and mid-September when snow is cleared from the road. Prominent passes that one crosses include Rohtang La (3,978m), Baralacha La (5,045m), Lachulung La (5,059m) and Tanglang La (5,325m). Between Lachlung La and Taglang La the road crosses the More plains, a vast desert like expanse at an altitude in excess of 4,500mts.
The journey along the road normally takes two days and many travellers make overnight stops at Jispa and tented camps such as Sarchu. Alternately, overnight stops can be made at Keylong. Owing to the high altitudes and the low-oxygen air, many travelers experience breathlessness, headaches and nausea or in some cases even acute mountain sickness.
The highway was designed, built, constructed and is maintained in its entirety by the Indian Army and is capable of supporting the heaviest of their vehicles. This journey is often referred to as the ultimate challenge for riding and off-roading enthusiansts and attracts bikers from all over the world.

Germany, Nordhein-Westfalen, Essen-Gelsenkirchen, Zeche Zollverein, Ruhr Museum (uncut)
View from the roof of the Ruhr Museum ( a former coal washery) in the mind bogglin’ Zollverein – an extensive former colliery and coking plant complex.
It was in operation from 1847- 1986 and was (in)famous for its impact on the environment and also for its efficiency and the high quality of its Bauhaus inspired architecture and 'urban plan'. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site now and is (being) transformed into a cultural, creative economy and touristic industry park. The masterplan for this transformation was made by Rem Koolhaas/OMA. The drastic renovation of the coal washery was designed by OMA too.
The coal washery and the buildings in the foreground belong to the extensive shaft 12 complex (1933), designed by Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer. In the background is the shaft 1/2 site, the place where the Zollverein started its mining operations.
