Structures on a log.

Crocus

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.

I took this shot to get a closer look at the bottom left corner of the web on the adjacent shot, and how is had been attached to that lower twig to give the square, our cuboid shape of the overall structure. To think that you could just stumble through that unthinkingly, and destroy it, after all that engineering skill and work.

I was on the same location in mai. Different focus on the remains and totally different light on the remains of the pier.

A roadside find in Pincher Creek, southwest Alberta.

Part of a building girder structure, Tokyo Japan.

Structure Fire this was practice burn by local firemen, they managed to destroy the whole building safely, shot in North Carolina.

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 new Design Museum in Kensington opened in November 2016. The building was formerly the home of the Commonwealth Institute and it was opened in 1962. The architects were RMJM (Robert Matthew Johnson Marshall). This photo shows a section of the original roof structure.

I use to shoot in B&W until people want me to shoot color more! now i am being ask to shoot more B&W again!!

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.
