Falling snow obscures the forrest and the lakeside along which I stand. Magical. I was the first one out on the trail today, so I didn’t encounter a singe footprint for the first 5 km.
Tommerholtdammen, Trøndelag, Norway
Celebrated for their harmony singing and energetic instrumentals, they embody the values of homemade and homegrown music and lifestyle. Their unique old time mountain style takes inspiration from the music of the Appalachian Mountains and beyond.
everywhere you see photos and landscapes with meanders and I thought, heyyy, there is one in my bath sheet! Ha ha, it's in fact not a real one, but worth a click ;-)
Happy Thursday, all!
These photographs document the platform area at Starnberg station, not the main station building. The visible structure consists primarily of historic iron columns and beams that remain in active use but show clear signs of aging: corrosion, flaking paint, and uneven maintenance. What was once a coherent architectural system has become a fragmented, utilitarian framework.
The original platform roofs are completely gone. In their place, the iron skeleton stands exposed to weather and light. Rather than being restored, the structure has been stabilized through added construction: scaffolding, bracing elements, and protective netting that cut across the original geometry. This creates a layered visual language of old infrastructure and temporary reinforcement.
A newer canopy appears only in selected areas, mainly above stair access points. This roof is made of corrugated sheet metal (Wellblech) and serves a purely functional role. It offers basic protection but no architectural continuity with the historic structure. Large sections of the platforms remain open.
The site reflects the character of a “lost place” in operation. It is neither fully preserved nor abandoned. Ongoing disputes between heritage protection (Denkmalschutz), ownership responsibilities, and questions of funding for repair and upkeep have left the platforms in a state of visual and structural limbo. The result is an environment where historical fabric survives, but without clear restoration strategy.
Access is partially restricted through fenced zones and controlled pathways. This affects circulation and accessibility, including limited or indirect wheelchair access. The station continues to function, yet the platform space feels provisional — maintained just enough to operate, but not enough to recover its former architectural identity.
From a photographic perspective, the focus lies on the exposed iron framework, the absence of the original roof, and the contrast between historic construction and pragmatic modern additions. The images document a transitional state: a working railway platform that visually reads as a relic.
This contact sheet has just been found by my mum - it's from my days at university. I don't know if I still have the negs.
Fortuitously I've catched a sheet lightning during the 30 seconds.
Zufällig konnte ich in den 30 Sekunden noch eine Wetterleuchte einfangen.
I'm looking for, I'm craving for
The feeling of my absent thoughts
Spiraling away from all my fears
It's coming now, I'll just relax
Following the sickness pass
There are only good things here
And my mouth is dry
And my face is numb
Another one I will become
You know she makes me sleep
Wraps me in sheets of green
Takes me underground to see the sun
Another one I will become
She makes me pure, the sweetest pure
Hands like vines caress my spine
Smoother than a wave on sand
Inside of me and underneath
She fills me with that sweet relief
Coating and contorting my disease
And my mouth is dry
And my face is numb
Another one I will become
You know she makes me sleep
Wraps me in sheets of green
Takes me underground to see the sun
Another one I will become
Another one I will become
Another one I will become

A beautifully sunny (but decidedly chilly!) spot in the Park...
Just as I was finishing, I spotted the sun catching the trees beyond the bandstand...
It was a pleasure to meet Phil Bell - thanks for the photo, Phil:
