Europe, Portugal, Setubal, Almada, Cacilhas, Tejo, Cais do Ginjal, Old harbour facilities (uncut)
The Cais do Ginjal is the post-industrial northern edge of Lisbon’s ‘outra banda’. Before the Ponte 25 de Abril was built in 1966, it had a very important logistic function for the city of Lisbon. The Tejo formed a natural barrier then and products coming from the southern part of the country were kept at the quay's storage facilities to be shipped to Lisbon later.
The whole stretch of the quay (including Olho de Boi) will be redeveloped/transformed. The planning process took 10 years. And some months ago a final decision was made to start with the actual works. All the old industrial facilities will be affected. Like the Hugo Parry & Sons shipbuilding- and repair workshops: here and here.
The functions to be realized in the revitalization plan are, not surprising: creative industry, recreational facilities and accommodations for the performing arts. Check out: Novo Cais do Ginjal.
This is number 184 of the Lisboa & Outra banda album and 113 of Urban restructuring / World.
A Child is an Uncut Diamond
- Austin O’Malley
(from my 2011 archives)
The Mrs. and I were enjoying a morning walk in Lhasa (Tibet) when this mother saw that I was taking pictures and indicated that she wanted me to take a photo of her child.
Of course I snapped a pic and thanked her. After many smiles and waves we parted… both a bit happier on that fine morning.

Europe, The Netherlands, Noord Brabant, Tilburg, Spoorzone, LocHal (uncut)
The Spoorzone is a decommissioned maintenance yard of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen – the Dutch Railways. This pic is shot inside building 60. LocHal means Locomotive Hall. In this more than 18 meters high shed, locomotives were manitained/repaired
The 1932 modernistic building is characterized by the use of glass and steel. There were fourteen giant workstations. Under some of these, there were recessed, trench-like spaces that enabled the mechanics to easily reach the undercarriages of the locomotives. Thru the years steam locomotives were maintained, electric locomotives like the 1200 series and the diesel traction units of the Dutch/Swiss TEE.
The Spoorzone was decommissioned in 2010 and sold to the municipality of Tilburg. A Master Plan (2012) was the basis of the revelopment of the zone. Since then most large buildings have been given new use, often after major renovation.
The Spoorzone is now transformed into “an attractive breeding ground with a mix of alternative catering & cultural facilities (e.g. a library), urban sports, creative workspaces, progressive education and non-conformist public events.” Source: here
Braaksma & Roos designed the redevelopment of the the LocHal. Mecanoo was responsible for the interior of the library.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holand, Rotterdam Zuid,, Katendrecht, Mid rises, Santos, Crown (uncut)
The Santos veem, the former Blauwhoedenveem (J.P. Stok Wzn en J.J. Kanters), (veem=warehouse), was built in 1902 to store coffee shipped from the port of Santos (adjacent to Sao Paulo) in Brazil. In its time, it was the highest and most modern warehouse in Rotterdam. The structure of the building: load-bearing walls with riveted cast iron columns placed in a square grid, supporting the six wooden floors.
The building was abandoned in 2001 and is being transformed (Renner Hainke Wirth Zirn Architekten and WDJ Architecten) to accommodate the Nederlands Foto Museum.
One of the big spatial interventions is shown here: the new crown of the building where a restaurant will be created. The façade is ready now and the chosen colour and texture are indeed crown-like. Is it a neo- or post-modern detail? Let's give it the benefit of the doubt.
This is number 9 of the Santos album and 712 of Rotterdam architecture.
This uncut raw end is on a agate nodule that comes from Ojo Laguna in Chihuahua, Mexico. Known as Laguna agate, it originates from the Sierra Tarahumara region of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains. The nodules occur in andesitic volcanic rocks.
Agate is a variety of cryptocrystalline quartz that typically contains 1–20% of the mineral moganite. Both quartz and moganite are forms of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), but they differ in crystal structure—a phenomenon known as polymorphism. Because the crystal structures are too small to see without magnification, agate is described as cryptocrystalline, meaning “hidden crystals.” The brilliant colors in the intricate banding result from trace amounts of iron oxides and other mineral impurities.
This specimen was photographed at the 2025 Wyoming State Gem and Mineral show in Gillette, Wyoming. This is the raw end of the same noodle shown in the preceding photo.
Already in Classical Antiquity this pretty flowering plant was notorious for its sharp leaves. Hence the name 'Butomus', something like 'Ox-cutter' in English; it would not do as animal fodder. But insects remain uncut. Here along a ditch the summer-flowering blossoms is being visited by a Fly and a Hoverfly.
Europe, Scandinavia, Norge, Oslo, Holmenkollen, Kapell (uncut)
The Holnekoppell Chapel obviously predates the Ski jump, but there is a relation with..... hiking.
Holmenkollen Chapel was first built in 1903 after designs by architect Holger Sinding-Larsen as a panelled wooden pole construction. "Holmen og Voxenselskabet" was founded in 1880 for the acquisition and development of the area as a recreational area for locals. When the company disbanded in 1890, it gave one of its plots of c. 10,000 square meters (110,000 sq ft) to the municipality of Oslo to build a sports chapel.
Closely related to Holmenkollen Chapel was Fortidsminne-foreningen. This association was established in 1844 with several painters as initiators. It was primarily the painter Johan Christian Dahl who spoke in favour of a stave church design. The association was the birthplace of a young generation of Norwegian architects around the turn of the 20th century, reviving the tradition of Norwegian historic wooden architecture. They searched back to the early Middle Ages when Norway had its Golden Age. They emphasized identity and their own history, nature and architecture. Holmenkollen Chapel was a direct result of the young generation of architects' emerging awareness of this heritage.
From its opening in 1903, the building was used as a chapel. Only in 1913 was it dedicated to the use of church services and church ceremonies such as baptism, confirmation, marriage, funerals and sports services.
The chapel was intended as a facility for hikers who wanted to attend a Sunday service, even if they chose to go up to the heights for exercise and fresh air. Hiking in the woods was almost fashionable in the late 19th century.
Tourist hotels, restaurants, spas and sanatoriums were built in the area, making it a destination also for the growing population of the capital Christiania (now Oslo). Nature trails and roads led up the Holmenkollåsen (the hill at Holmenkollen).

while trying to get prepared for this weekend's sale, I found the cigar box with the five-uncut polyhedrons. I have had these for over thirty years and still have not cut one.

Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim + Hybrid Redscaled Konica Minolta VX Super 200 + Double Exposure. (Print first, Redscale 2nd.)
Continuing experiments with redscale... First run through as standard print film mostly around Bristol, Blagdon Lake, & Stanton Drew. The film was then removed from the canister in a dark bag, reversed then replaced in the canister (all still in the dark bag) and shot through as Redscale around Bristol, Weston Super Mare (briefly) & Glastonbury.
I did not line up the film, nor take notes, nor plan the compositions, beyond remembering that the first run through might take up some variety of colour and the second run through might work well with strong lines & silhouettes or textures.
The negatives were returned uncut as requested, but I did get lab scans - any overlaps of one frame over another, are a result of this. I have cropped where I feel it is most helpful to do so, so any inclusion of frame overlap is these uploaded images has been an active choice. I will almost certainly return to the negs with a home scanner to search for alternative compositions to complement these.
Redscaling.
Basically it involves taking a roll of ordinary 'bog standard' print film, reversing it and respooling it into another film canister (all done in a dark bag) so that the light is exposed on 'the wrong side of the film' when you take a shot. You then lose two 'stops' on the optimal exposure conditions from the original. It gets developed in exactly the same way as print film, but be prepared for the technician to be a little startled (at best) or a little irritated (at worst) when they realise that something very odd has happened to the film. :)
