ENG: A backyard view with many corners, edges and reflections in the middle of the Berlin district Mitte. I discovered this large backyard by chance while walking along the Spree river near the Friedrichstraße Structure suburban train station and was immediately thrilled by the sight of the architecture and the view of the sky.
Why "Am Zirkus"? Because that's the name of the street by the building today. ☻ The street was actually called Markthallenstraße when it was built in 1865, but it was quickly renamed. Because the market hall was an economic failure. In 1873, the "Markthallen-Circus" (later taken over by the Circus Renz) opened in the building, whereupon the street was renamed, first Am Circus, since 1903 in the current spelling. Nowadays, of course, the market hall is history and in the same place stands a new building since 2014 in which there is also a hotel.

GER: Ein Hinterhof Ausblick mit vielen Ecken, Kanten und Spiegelungen inmitten des Berliner Bezirks Mitte. Ich habe diesen großen Hinterhof durch Zufall entdeckt beim Spaziergang an der Spree nahe des S-Bahnhofs Friedrichstraße und war sofort begeistert von dem Anblick der Architektur und dem Ausblick in den Himmel.
Warum „Am Zirkus“? Weil die heutige Straße am Gebäude so heißt. ☻ Eigentlich hieß die Straße bei ihrer Erbauung 1865 mal Markthallenstraße. diese wurde aber schnell umbenannt. Da die Markthalle ein wirtschaftlicher Misserfolg war. 1873 eröffnete in dem Gebäude der „Markthallen-Circus“ (später vom Circus Renz übernommen), woraufhin die Straße umbenannt wurde, zunächst Am Circus, seit 1903 in der heutigen Schreibweise. Heutzutage ist die Markthalle natürlich Geschichte und an selbige stelle steht seit 2014 ein Neubau in dem sich auch ein Hotel befindet.
Groynes reduce longshore transport by trapping beach material and causing the beach orientation to change relative to the dominant wave directions. They mainly influence bedload transport and are most effective on shingle or gravel beaches. Sand is carried in temporary suspension during higher energy wave or current conditions and will therefore tend to be carried over or around any cross-shore structures. Groynes can also be used successfully in estuaries to alter nearshore tidal flow patterns.
What happens to large structures that become derelict? No, this is not about 'me', but who is responsible or can you just be allowed to let something decompose irrespective of how it affects others or the environment? This may be a wreck in a better state than the RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach harbour. Apparently it is at risk of sinking as there are no bilge pumps to drain the lower compartments and they are corroding and weakening. But who can afford the hundreds of millions that might be required to replace the weakened parts and keep it floating? The current owners seem to be suggesting it's not their problem. If it sinks, will they just leave someone else to pay the bills and deal with the wreck? It's a bit big.

The ETFE façades are shaped in a “sail” like form and are installed on three sides of the building; East, South, and West. A total of 399 sails cover an area of 8,125 square meters, supported by 180 tons of structural aluminum framing and 57 carbon steel “headmounts”.

Back to when I got to Worthing pier when low tide coincided with the sunset.
Here I made my way out to nearly the end of the pier to capture the only bit of cloud that we had seen that day but the colours of the sky were lovely.
The pier added my foreground interest and the light on the foreground rocks was amazing too.
I have been out shooting some images in the mist this morning including shooting my fave tree near Upper Beeding which will be a monthly project.

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
