Mark di Suvero sculpture in Marlene Dietrich Platz
"...Mark di Suvero's works deal with the subject of the moment of movement in a symbolic sense. In contrast to their virtual stasis and centered calm, his sculptures appear to carry dynamic expressive powers which actively pervade the surrounding area. The overriding impression they give is one of merely latent and imaginary mobility, even though there are sometimes moving parts on his sculptures." Daimler Art Collection
Was hoping for a waterspout with this one, but it didn't happen. Seen out over Lake Winnebago, Oshkosh, WI. July 20, 2010.

The cloisters at Gloucester are the earliest surviving fan vaults in England, having been designed between 1351 and 1377 by Thomas de Cantebrugge. The cloisters stand to the north of the cathedral and, along with the cathedral precincts to the north and east, contain a number of listed buildings. The Great Cloister itself is listed at Grade I. The other major structures within the precincts are the Chapter house and the Treasury and library. They date initially from the 11th century, although they have undergone major reconstruction in subsequent centuries. Both are Grade I listed buildings. The treasury adjoins the main cathedral on its northern side, with the library above it, and the chapter house adjoins the treasury.

Structures like this often fall into disrepair due to shifting regional demographics or economic consolidation.
Once left empty, these locations undergo a well-documented cycle:
Nature Reclaims: Weeds break through the concrete courtyard, and weathering strips the exterior stucco plaster.
Human Intervention: Vandalism, broken windows, and graffiti elements begin to leave a modern mark on the historic walls.

You could walk kilometres along a deserted sandy beach. Since I discovered this sand structures.
Man konnte kilometerweit am menschenleeren Sandstrand wandern. Da entdeckte ich diese Strukturen.

Paris memories - the view from the top level platform of the Eiffel Tower, Paris
Another vertiginous aerial view looking straight down and thinking about life and mortality :)
Tour Eiffel
Constructed between 1887 and 1889 as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair, it was initially criticised by some of France's leading artists and intellectuals for its design, but it has become a global cultural icon of France and one of the most recognisable structures in the world. More info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_Tower
'The Eiffel Tower was built on the Champ de Mars. At the end of the 20-year concession granted to Gustave Eiffel, which began on 31 December 1889, ownership of the Tower would revert to the owner of the land it was built on, the City of Paris. But would the city have preserved it? It is in fact its use as a gigantic radio antenna that saved it from destruction.'
