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.
"The Cathedral of Bern (Das Berner MĂ¼nster) is Switzerland's largest ecclesiastical building. Construction started in 1421 and continued under a series of different builders for generations.
The spire was finally completed in 1893. The portal with its depiction of the Last Judgment is a remarkable feature. The vantage point of this masterpiece is located 344 steps above the entrance, in the 100m-high cathedral spire.
The Cathedral is Switzerland is the largest and most significant church dated back to the Late Middle Ages. As the dominant structure in Bern's Old Town, which was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 1983, the Cathedral plays a pivotal role in the city's architecture.

Typically this west facing side of the Golden Gate Bridge is inaccessible due to water height. Minus tides this week really open up Marshall's Beach so one can walk right up to this massive steel & concrete structure. Fun shoot with Alvin Tenpo .
My fist outing with the newly purchased Z8.

A lot of dilapidated country barns hold one man's junk and another man's treasure as evidenced by this failing structure that serves as a parking spot for an old pickup and a cream separator and if you dared to venture further there is probably more items inside. Older people hold memories of how things were in the past and the wise younger person quietly draws them out.
Electric power companies tend to build large and very heavy, structurally sound buildings because they sometimes contain elements like transformers that deal in very large amounts of energy. It is protection and strength, in case of a malfunction. Photograph taken in Sacramento, California.
A detail of the Academy of the Arts in Berlin, which is, in my belief, a wonderful architecture - unlike the newer building close to the Brandenburg Gate.
Also I love this tiny camera. Always to have with me, extremely fast to shoot with and still under my control.

Ilford FP4, exposed in the Mamiya C220 and developed in 510 Pyro. The structure is the open position stop for the 19th century swing bridge in Ramsey Harbour, Isle of Man.
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.
La Isla Pancha es un islote que se ubica en la punta noreste de Ribadeo, en la desembocadura del RĂo Eo. De superficie limitada, ocupa casi 1 hectĂ¡rea y, aunque en ella se levantan dos faros (uno de ellos pintado de blanco y azul, datado de 1860) lo mĂ¡s probable es que no se pueda acceder ni al faro ni a la isla en general debido a que estĂ¡ unida a la costa por un puente que la mayorĂa de las veces se encuentra cerrado. Pese a ello, cabe destacar que la vista es mucho mĂ¡s hermosa desde el mirador que desde el faro.
En cuanto emprendemos camino por la carretera del Faro (la cual se señaliza como "Estrada do Faro") se presenta ante nosotros una impresionante panorĂ¡mica de la RĂa, con Figueras y Castropol de fondo.
Pancha Island
is an islet that is located at the northeastern tip of Ribadeo, at the mouth of the Eo River. With a limited area, it occupies almost 1 hectare and, although two lighthouses stand on it (one of them painted white and blue, dating from 1860), it is most likely that neither the lighthouse nor the island in general can be accessed due to because it is linked to the coast by a bridge that is closed most of the time. Despite this, it should be noted that the view is much more beautiful from the viewpoint than from the lighthouse.
As soon as we set off along the Faro road (which is signposted as "Estrada do Faro"), an impressive panoramic view of the RĂa appears before us, with Figueras and Castropol in the background.

Part of my 'Duffus Castle through the seasons' project.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.
