Structure of the well known Olympic roof at the Olympic park in Munich, Germany. This is on the way to the former Olympic Village in the north of the park.
Initially the plethora of elements was overwhelming, but after about 10 minutes of utilizing the tenants taught by Stephen Shore in structuring the transparency of 3D space onto a flat picture plane I slowly became comfortable with the scene.
That yellow pail was the fulcrum where I began structuring my picture around.
Tenganan Village is a village in the regency of Karangasem in East Bali, Indonesia. The Village had gates on all four points of the compass which were guarded. The Village is known for the gringsing or geringsing, double ikat textiles woven in only 3 places in the world; and for its gamelan selunding or Gambelan selonding music played on iron metallophones. It is a working village where people live and the villagers still work on their craft as they have done for generations
Before the 1970s it was known by anthropologists as a secluded society in the archipelago. Rapid changes have occurred in the village since the 1970s, such as the development of local communications by the central government, the opening up to tourism, and the breaking of the endogamic rules.[1]
Tourists are attracted to Tenganan by its unique Bali Aga culture that still holds to the original traditions, ceremonies, and rules of ancient Balinese, and its unique village layout and architecture.

A macro view of pitaya reveals a hidden logic of matter — a rhythm of forms and colors that shifts the fruit from flavor to structure with its own quiet dynamics.
Metropol Parasol is a wooden structure located at La Encarnación square, in the old quarter of Seville, Spain. It was designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer and completed in April 2011. It has dimensions of 150 by 70 metres (490 by 230 ft) and an approximate height of 26 metres (85 ft) and claims to be the largest wooden structure in the world. Its appearance, location, delays and cost overruns in construction resulted in much public controversy. The building is popularly known as Las Setas de la Encarnación (Incarnation's mushrooms).

I’m getting a bit addicted to my 16mm close-ups. It is just amazing what kind shots I come home with.
The lovely structures on the beach find a mirror in the sky above.
CSX D789 passes through Harpers Ferry's Lower Town across the 1850's wooden trestle built by the Winchester and Potomac Railroad. The train is taking 105 cars of wheat destined for Winchester, VA just after midnight on March 26, 2017. The structure was necessary to avoid the occasional high waters that rage through the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. It was shortened at it's east end to rebuild the right of way in order to connect with the 1894 B&O bridge by using fill and a single deck bridge.
The Lloyd's building is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London, and is located at One Lime Street, in the City of London, England.
It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986. Bovis were the management contractor for the scheme. [1] Like the Pompidou Centre (designed by Renzo Piano and Rogers), the building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside. The 12 glass lifts were the first of their kind in the UK.

We hiked cross country to find these structures constructed by John Cyty. John was a colorful character. He built this cabin in 1911 and prospected a couple of major mines in the area of the Keane Wonder Mine. He lost one of the mines, The Big Bell Mine, while gambling. He was charged with killing another miner over a dispute over a claim near this cabin. He was tried twice and acquitted during the second trial. He also operated a dance hall in nearby Rhyolite but was forced to cease that operation because he employed non-union dance hall girls. He tried to process gold ore in the stamp mill he created behind his cabin but that effort was unsuccessful. He worked for a time as a caretaker of the nearby Keane Wonder Mine property after it ceased operation. He apparently quit the prospecting, milling efforts and caretaking and moved to Beatty in the 1920's where he was charged with another murder during another dispute. That conviction was apparently overturned on appeal.
The star cluster Melotte 15 in the central region of the Heart Nebula, IC1805, in Cassiopeia.
The image is dominated by clouds of emitting hydrogen gas with dark dust lanes within.
The gas near the star cluster is sculpted into rope-like, contorted, and intricate pillar-like shapes and whisps. These features are believed to be as a result of stellar winds and intense radiation emanating from the young, hot stars, of Melotte 15.

This is a further process of data that I acquired last year - but I have reprocessed centring on the central star cluster with its associated fascinating gas structures.

Concrete things with holes in them, at the edge of a Lincolnshire field. I don't know what these things are. There are several of them in one location, quite big, probably been there a long time and no obvious purpose. One on its own might have been an artwork I suppose. Get the sun behind one of them and you can make silly effects.
