A different angle of The Wave structure in Arizona. What a place to see! But don't forget to get a permit to go there.
One World Trade Center (also known as 1 World Trade Center, 1 WTC or Freedom Tower) is the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, and the sixth-tallest in the world. The supertall structure has the same name as the North Tower of the original World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The new skyscraper stands on the northwest corner of the 16-acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site, on the site of the original 6 World Trade Center. The building is bounded by West Street to the west, Vesey Street to the north, Fulton Street to the south, and Washington Street to the east. (borrowed from Wikipedia)

Multiple levels (parallel planes; rock surface curves down to right) of slickensided fault surfaces in an outcrop of Marron Fm. andesitic volcanic rock (in south-central British Columbia), with one of my fingers for scale. Above my finger, the lighter coloured material is a mineral vein (fluid flowed along a fault plane and mineral precipitated from solution) with a patchy distribution now because it is partly eroded away.
The slickenlines present have two different groove lineation directions, diagonal down to the left and down to the right in both the purplish-brown host rock and the light brown vein material. They record two different steep (sub-vertical) directions of fault motion at this site back in the Eocene (ca. 50 million years ago), a time of post-orogenic normal faulting in this part of western Canada.

When approaching this majestic auditorium, I was immediately captivated by the purity of its lines. My intention was to transcend mere architectural documentation to reveal the poetic essence of this structure. By isolating this particular curve and working in black and white, I sought to create a tension between the immensity of the structure and the delicacy of its form. The deliberately minimalist composition allows the eye to focus on the dialogue between shadow and light, transforming this architectural feat into an almost celestial abstraction. I waited for the moment when natural light would perfectly sculpt this bright line on the building's surface, creating a dramatic contrast that elevates the sensuality of the curve.
Inspired by Stephen Shore's gorgeous photo; U.S.10 Post Falls, Idaho and it's lyrical beauty and acceptance of the world around us I went this morning searching for just such a scene.
I looked for a location with minimal expression and inherent beauty, yet without drama. Found it 16 miles away.
Some photos are created in a snap or two. this one took me 10 minutes to compose and click.
Full of elements, yet those puddles are the most important ones.
They give your eyes a runway to take off and escape this place.
The Palace of Fine Arts, located in the Marina District of San Francisco, is built around a small artificial lagoon. The lagoon was intended to echo those found in classical settings in Europe, where the expanse of water provides a mirror surface to reflect the grand buildings and an undisturbed vista to appreciate them from a distance. This monumental structure was originally constructed for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in order to exhibit works of art. Conceived to evoke a decaying ruin of ancient Rome, this structure has become one of San Francisco's most recognizable landmarks.
