From Wikipedia -
Motif Number 1, located on Bradley Wharf in the harbor town of Rockport, Massachusetts, is a replica of a former fishing shack well known to students of art and art history as "the most often-painted building in America."[1][2] The original structure was built in 1840 and destroyed in the Blizzard of 1978,[1] but an exact replica was constructed that same year.[3]
Built in the 1840s as Rockport was becoming home to a colony of artists and settlement of fishermen, the shack became a favorite subject of painters due to the composition and lighting of its location as well as being a symbol of New England maritime life. Painter Lester Hornby (1882–1956) is believed to be the first to call the shack "Motif Number 1,"[2] a reference to its being the favorite subject of the town's painters, and the name achieved general acceptance.
This is a real photo with an exposure time of 0.8 seconds.
This is one exposition.
I was inspired by the works of Harold Ross, especially "Burnt Offerings I". When I found a structure that matched my idea of the images I wanted to make, I thought it was worth showing such an object as a levitating one. For a long time I was looking for a way to take this photo at home.
The most difficult in this photo was to show the object and space so that a shadow with a hole could be seen confirming the free hovering of the object.
The object has dimensions of 64x64x50 mm.
This is a version made in the dark with additional lighting with several colored mini flashlights and a laser.
I also exhibited a version in full light (lighting comes from lamps on the ceiling of the room) - both photos were taken simply on a winter evening.
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.

Thank you everyone for your visit, favorites and comments.
Whilst on a family trip to Valencia, a visit to the City of Arts culture and science was a great experience. Here is an angle undershot of its modern structure.

I visited this famous area for the first time and immediately forgot to bring my highly necessary tripod plate. Fortunately, Rob and later Karin were there and we had a nice chat about our mutual hobby....Fortunately, I still managed to get the chance to take this shot and clearly have another reason to return there.....:)

Rudra Hills across the Rudramata reservoir near Bhuj ..Kutch region Gujarat.
The house/hut like structure in the foreground is called a Bhunga.
Bhungas are traditional houses unique to the Kutch region in Gujarat. The houses are circular walled with thatched roof. They are known for their structural stability in earthquakes and for being climate responsive. It also protects against sandstorms and cyclonic winds.
It is constructed using locally available materials like clay, bamboo, timber, etc. Structurally the roof is placed on two thick wooden posts placed across the circular walls. These two posts bear the weight of the roof. Wooden framed windows are set at a lower level for cross ventilation. The low hanging roofs cover the walls against direct sunlight and add to the insulation from the environment. The thatched roof is built on top of the walls resting on a spiral frame forming a cone.
The traditional bhunga requires periodic maintenance, a regular application of lipai or lime plastering to the walls and floor, and the replacement of the dried grass on the roof. The exterior walls are adorned with colourful paintings while the interiors are decorated with exquisite mud and mirror work.

Trying to follow the tenets of the New Topographics in photographing structure and form rather than subject matter.
My handy dandy little aluminum step ladder would have proven a benefit in elevating me about 3 feet and separating those middle ground elements.
