The photographs over the next few days are all Infra Red and taken with my converted compact camera. Since Infra Red applies to a limited band in the electromagnetic spectrum (720nms to 1mm), and invisible to the naked eye, these photographs provide us with a glimpse into a parallel world to the one we can see. Here the IR makes the forest structure look like the living organism that it is. It's very reminiscent of the structure of blood vessels for instance.
Unlike the cyanotype method which goes back 180 years to the dawn of photography, Infra Red photography specifically dates from the publication of American physicist Robert Wood's IR photographs in the February 1910 edition of "The Century Magazine" and in the October 1910 edition of the "Royal Photographic Society Journal". Wood took an otherwise scientific process of spectrography and adapted it to capture landscapes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_W._Wood

Das Eden Project entstand nach einer Idee des englischen Archäologen und Gartenliebhabers Tim Smit in einer stillgelegten Kaolingrube nahe St Austell. Von der Idee im Jahr 1995 bis zur Eröffnung der Anlage am 17. März 2001 dauerte es sechs Jahre. Charakterisiert wird der Garten durch die zwei riesigen Gewächshäuser, die aus jeweils vier miteinander verschnittenen geodätischen Kuppeln in der Bauweise von Richard Buckminster Fuller bestehen. Hier werden verschiedene Vegetationszonen simuliert. Die Gewächshäuser des Eden Projects sind derzeit die größten der Welt.
Die Entwürfe für die geodätischen Kuppeln stammen vom britischen Architekturbüro Nicholas Grimshaw, die Tragwerksplanung von Anthony Hunt, ihre Ausführung erfolgte durch die Würzburger Firma Mero. Gedeckt sind die mehrfach miteinander verschnittenen Kuppeln mit doppelwandigen Kissen aus ETFE, einem besonders leichten, transparenten Kunststoff. Die Folienkissen wurden in eine Konstruktion aus standardisierten, sechs- und fünfeckigen Stahlrohrrahmenelementen (Raumfachwerk) eingepasst. Die Raumfachwerkkonstruktionen überdecken stützenfrei eine Fläche von insgesamt 23.000 m² (Oberfläche etwa 30.000 m²) und haben eine Höhe von bis zu 50 m bei einem Durchmesser von bis zu 125 m.

The project was conceived by Tim Smit and designed by architect Nicholas Grimshaw and engineering firm Anthony Hunt and Associates (now part of Sinclair Knight Merz). Davis Langdon carried out the project management, Sir Robert McAlpine and Alfred McAlpine[4] did the construction, MERO designed and built the biomes, and Arup was the services engineer, economic consultant, environmental engineer and transportation engineer. Land use consultants led the masterplan and landscape design. The project took 2½ years to construct and opened to the public on 17 March 2001.
The Tropical Biome, covers 1.56 ha (3.9 acres) and measures 55 m (180 ft) high, 100 m (328 ft) wide, and 200 m (656 ft) long. It is used for tropical plants, such as fruiting banana plants, coffee, rubber and giant bamboo, and is kept at a tropical temperature and moisture level.
The Tropical Biome
The Mediterranean Biome covers 0.654 ha (1.6 acres) and measures 35 m (115 ft) high, 65 m (213 ft) wide, and 135 m (443 ft) long. It houses familiar warm temperate and arid plants such as olives and grape vines and various sculptures.
The Outdoor Gardens represent the temperate regions of the world with plants such as tea, lavender, hops, hemp and sunflowers, as well as local plant species.
The covered biomes are constructed from a tubular steel (hex-tri-hex) with mostly hexagonal external cladding panels made from the thermoplastic ETFE. Glass was avoided due to its weight and potential dangers. The cladding panels themselves are created from several layers of thin UV-transparent ETFE film, which are sealed around their perimeter and inflated to create a large cushion. The resulting cushion acts as a thermal blanket to the structure. The ETFE material is resistant to most stains, which simply wash off in the rain. If required, cleaning can be performed by abseilers. Although the ETFE is susceptible to punctures, these can be easily fixed with ETFE tape. The structure is completely self-supporting, with no internal supports, and takes the form of a geodesic structure. The panels vary in size up to 9 m (29.5 ft) across, with the largest at the top of the structure.
The ETFE technology was supplied and installed by the firm Vector Foiltec, which is also responsible for ongoing maintenance of the cladding. The steel spaceframe and cladding package (with Vector Foiltec as ETFE subcontractor) was designed, supplied and installed by MERO (UK) PLC, who also jointly developed the overall scheme geometry with the architect, Nicholas Grimshaw & Partners.
The entire build project was managed by McAlpine Joint Venture.

The picture is from our trip to Morocco in 2019, and it fits well at a time when I'm working on colourful architectural structures. I only recently "discovered" it and processed it.
This is a real photo with an exposure time of 0.8 seconds.
This is one exposition.
I was inspired by the works of Harold Ross, especially "Burnt Offerings I". When I found a structure that matched my idea of the images I wanted to make, I thought it was worth showing such an object as a levitating one. For a long time I was looking for a way to take this photo at home.
The most difficult in this photo was to show the object and space so that a shadow with a hole could be seen confirming the free hovering of the object.
The object has dimensions of 64x64x50 mm.
This is a version made in the dark with additional lighting with several colored mini flashlights and a laser.
I also exhibited a version in full light (lighting comes from lamps on the ceiling of the room) - both photos were taken simply on a winter evening.
A rain wet Going to the Sun Highway in Glacier National Park runs through the forest along McDonald Creek. Completed in 1932, the spectacular, 50 mile long Going-to-the-Sun Road bisects the park east to west. The paved two-lane highway spans the width of Glacier National Park and crosses the Continental Divide at 6,646-foot-high Logan Pass. It passes large glacial lakes and cedar forests in the lower valleys; canyons and cliffs; culminating at the windswept alpine tundra atop the pass. Scenic viewpoints and pullouts line the road offering dramatic views and photo opportunities.
The road is nationally significant for its design and monumental engineering accomplishments. The original roadbed, bridges, tunnels, culverts, retaining walls, and guard walls were built in the “NPS Rustic” style. Individually, these structures are often significant examples of period engineering and design philosophy; collectively, they comprise a vital, integral component of the road’s unique character. Most of these structures were designed to harmonize with the roadway setting by using native materials and by blending with landforms as much as possible.The Going-To-The-Sun Road is a National Historic Landmark, is included in the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.

Thank you everyone for your visit, favorites and comments.
Whilst on a family trip to Valencia, a visit to the City of Arts culture and science was a great experience. Here is an angle undershot of its modern structure.
a shot inspired by a video. you will enjoy this on vimeo. trust me.

The last two days of New Mexico White Sands shots have me wanting to return to storm pics... so here's another one. When a cloud takes on unusual shapes we call it structure... here's some.
I visited this famous area for the first time and immediately forgot to bring my highly necessary tripod plate. Fortunately, Rob and later Karin were there and we had a nice chat about our mutual hobby....Fortunately, I still managed to get the chance to take this shot and clearly have another reason to return there.....:)
