Apologies for repeating myself, but when I updated my home page I suddenly felt that these two needed to be together. Not in the least because of how they reflect the ideas behind the design of this pavilion.
"For the Sonsbeek pavilion Van Eyck provided an elementary structure of six parallel walls made out of concrete blocks, which he manipulated into a surprisingly rich and labyrinthine interior by inserting semicircular niches and apses into the rectilinear structure. Van Eyck described the result as an urban space intentionally conceived in opposition to the natural idyll of the nineteenth-century park, which followed the formal language of the English landscape garden.
The scenography aimed to create the experience of an almost spontaneous encounter with the artworks on display. This was not only communicated through the spatial typology of streets, alleys and small piazzas, but it was also crucially achieved by a relatively high density of artworks gathered together in the narrow spaces which forced one to walk by the sculptures in close proximity."
Ok, here we go.
My opinion is that a cinematographer composes the image while a photographer structures it.
A cinematographer has the luxury of beginning with a blank slate and just as a painter they introduce their elements and forms and colors where they feel fit.
We photographers can only work with what is already there. It is already composed. All we can do is move into a position as to structure the scene before us.
Compare it to an orchestra conductor. They do not compose the music. It is already there. They structure it as to what it will sound best. They call it "Arrangement", but I feel there is no rearranging of the notes.

Here I could not compose any of the characters before me. I had to find the best POV to structure the scene to my liking. I decided to gain height to achieve what I wanted.
Relationship in space is important to impose 'characterization' to the various elements. To infuse believability to an item. In other words; it comes forth from the background and becomes something. They are no longer alone, but present themselves in concert, each enhancing one another's presence.
In such a structure the cloud and even grassy field become involved entities in the picture.
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.

Der Aufgang zur Hamburger U-Bahnstation Elbbrücken in einer Bearbeitung die das Ziel hat, die interessante und außergewöhnliche Architektur und Struktur des Bauwerkes herauszustellen.
Der Aufgang befindet sich im vorderen Teil des Bahnhofes. Ein Bild des hinteren Abschnittes folgt...... Also dranbleiben.:-))
Unterwegs mit Angelo ( Hier bekannt als dras )
Schaut euch unbedingt seine herausragende Galerie an.

The entrance to Hamburg's Elbbrücken subway station, edited to highlight the building's interesting and unusual architecture and structure.
The entrance is located in the front section of the station. A picture of the rear section will follow... so stay tuned. :-))
On the road with Angelo (known here as dras).
Be sure to check out his outstanding gallery.
The Beihai Park was an imperial garden and now a public park located to the northwest of the Forbidden City in Beijing. First built in the 11th century, it is among the largest of all Chinese gardens and contains numerous historically important structures, palaces, and temples. Since 1925, the place has been open to the public as a park. It is also connected at its northern end to the Shichahai.

The third National Park I went to was Bryce Canyon National Park. This scene was taken from Inspiration Point looking down at a natural amphitheater seen along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau.
Bryce Canyon National Park /ˈbraɪs/ is a National Park located in southwestern Utah in the United States. The major feature of the park is Bryce Canyon, which despite its name, is not a canyon, but a collection of giant natural amphitheaters along the eastern side of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. Bryce is distinctive due to geological structures called hoodoos, formed by frost weathering and stream erosion of the river and lake bed sedimentary rocks. The red, orange, and white colors of the rocks provide spectacular views for park visitors. Bryce sits at a much higher elevation than nearby Zion National Park. The rim at Bryce varies from 8,000 to 9,000 feet (2,400 to 2,700 m).
The Bryce Canyon area was settled by Mormon pioneers in the 1850s and was named after Ebenezer Bryce, who homesteaded in the area in 1874. The area around Bryce Canyon became a National Monument in 1923 and was designated as a National Park in 1928. The park covers 35,835 acres (55.992 sq mi; 14,502 ha; 145.02 km2) and receives substantially fewer visitors than Zion National Park (nearly 4.3 million in 2016) or Grand Canyon National Park (nearly 6 million in 2016), largely due to Bryce's more remote location. In 2016, Bryce Canyon received 2,365,110 recreational visitors, representing an increase of 35% from the prior year. - From Wikipedia
"Allesandersplatz", Haus der Statistik, Nähe Alexanderplatz, Berlin
The Haus der Statistik is a building complex in the Berlin district Mitte in Otto-Braun-Straße 70-72 (between 1966 and 1995 Hans-Beimler-Straße), south of Karl-Marx-Allee. It was founded in 1968-1970 as the headquarters of the State Central Administration for Statistics of the GDR. After German reunification, German authorities used the buildings, which have been empty since 2008.
Until 2017, the building was owned by the Federal Republic of Germany, which wanted to demolish it and sell the site. However, the Berlin Senate was able to acquire the building complex as part of the capital city financing agreement. Together with several other initiatives and administrations, the complex will be completely renovated and will be used for a wide range of purposes.

Another photo from the beautiful granite coast in the south of Western Australia. This is the Natural Bridge in Torndirrup National Park. I am forever fascinated by the intricate structure and textures of this amazing coastline.
