Het hoogovencomplex werd in 1902 door de "Rheinische Stahlwerke zu Meiderich bei Ruhrort" gebouwd, en werd later overgenomen door de Thyssen-groep. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog raakte het zwaar beschadigd, maar het werd in de jaren 50 weer opgebouwd. In 1985 waren de hoogovens van het complex te klein geworden om nog rendabel te zijn, en werd het complex gesloten. Tussen 1991 en 2002 werd het terrein als openbaar park ingericht.

To survive the hot summer days, the architects of this city designed wind catchers or wind towers that act like natural ventilators. They catch the wind, cool it, and direct the stream of cool wind into the inner spaces. Usually, there are big or small ponds below the wind catchers to make the ventilation more effective.

I wasn't sure about how I cropped this earlier, so now trying this one. Main problem was getting all of the ventilators in focus, so I cropped one out. Next time, f/8 or so.
This is Creamer's Dairy in Fairbanks, Alaska. It was a dairy farm in the 20th Century that was converted to a museum and wildlife sanctuary.
In 2002 this stainless steel sculpture by Thomas Heatherwick was installed in Paternoster Square in the City of London. The sculpture is actually a ventilator for an underground electrical substation.
One more architectural pic....this was when I looked up while having dinner in the Sky World Entertainment Centre in Auckland.

Wat Suthat Thepphawararam is a royal temple in Bangkok, Thailand. It is a royal temple of the first grade, one of ten such temples in Bangkok. There are 23 in the whole of Thailand. Construction was begun by King Rama I in 1807. Further construction and decorations were carried out by King Rama II, who also assisted, but the temple was not completed until the reign of King Rama III in 1847. This temple contains the Buddha statue Phra Sri Sakyamuni, which was moved from a temple in Sukhothai province. Sukhothai was the capital of the first kingdom of Siam in the 13th and 15th centuries. Twenty-eight Chinese pagodas are placed on the lower terrace of the base, signifying the twenty-eight Buddhas born on this earth. In 2005, the temple was submitted to UNESCO for consideration as an addition to the World Heritage List. The viharn of Wat Suthat is one of the oldest surviving buildings from the Rattanakosin era. It contains the main Buddha statue of the Wat. The Phra Si Sakyamuni is an eight meter high bronze Buddha statue. The temple is beautiful and is not inferior to the Grand Palace. The big advantage that you can take pictures inside and it is wonderfully quiet.
The temple complex officially called Wat Suthat Thepphawararam is one of the largest in Bangkok and covers 10 hectares. The viharn of Wat Suthat is one of the oldest surviving buildings from the Rattanakosin era. It contains the main Buddha statue of the Wat. There is an 800 year old Sukhothai Buddha statue standing 8 meters high in a demure Mara pose. It was cast in Sukhothai some 800 years ago and was brought to Bangkok by riverboat from an abandoned temple in Sukhothai. The Phra Si Sakyamuni is an eight meter high bronze Buddha statue.
Wat Suthat Thepphawararam is een koninklijke tempel in Bangkok, Thailand. Het is één van de tien eerste graadstempels in Bangkok. In heel Thailand zijn het er 23. De bouw werd begonnen door Koning Rama I in 1807. Verdere bouw en versieringen werden uitgevoerd door koning Rama II, die ook zelf heeft geholpen, maar de tempel werd pas voltooid tijdens het bewind van koning Rama III in 1847. Deze tempel bevat het Boeddhabeeld Phra Sri Sakyamuni, die werd verplaatst van uit een tempel in de provincie Sukhothai. Sukhothai was de hoofdstad van het eerste koninkrijk Siam in de 13e en 15e eeuw. Op het onderste terras van de basis zijn achtentwintig Chinese pagodes geplaatst, die de achtentwintig geboren Boeddha's op deze aarde betekenen. In 2005 werd de tempel voorgelegd aan de UNESCO ter overweging als toevoeging aan de Werelderfgoedlijst. De viharn van de Wat Suthat is één van de oudste nog bestaande gebouwen uit het Rattanakosin-tijdperk. Het bevat het belangrijkste Boeddhabeeld van de Wat. Er staat een 800 jaar oud bronzen Sukhothai Boeddhabeeld van 8 meter hoog in een ingetogen Mara-houding. Het werd zo'n 800 jaar geleden in Sukhothai gegoten en werd per rivierboot vanuit een verlaten tempel in Sukhothai naar Bangkok gebracht. De tempel is prachtig en doet niet onder aan de Grand Palace. Het grote voordeel dat je hier wel binnen mag fotograferen en heerlijk rustig is.
Now I know why there's always a wind blowing on the coast.
Jetzt weiß ich, warum an der Küste immer Wind weht.

I wish to dedicate this photo to the medical & healthcare professionals of our hospitals (and the ambulance people, who are at the very first line). They are facing the Covid-19 emergency at the best of their professional and humane possibilities, wrestling with limitations in supplies, lack of ventilators, ICU beds, personal safety devices, and all sorts of other difficulties, of which I am able to imagine only a small part.
Covid-19 infected people are cut off from their relatives (who are quarantined at home as soon as the patient has been found to be positive), so the psychological side of the hospitalisation can be almost as hard as the infection itself. Cell phones help a lot, of course - and, in case, WhatsApp can compensate for difficulties in speaking (e.g. because of the oxygen mask). However the feeling of loneliness is very strong, an almost physical sensation - you feel lost, overwhelmed. At the mercy of events.
Physicians and nurses could restrict themselves to the management of the health threat in itself - after all, who could blame them for this? They are justly called heroes for their dedication. But they are aware of your psychological distress and do not restrain themselves... They offer you their sympathy and humane support. I can only begin to imagine the additional weight of this burden at the end of their by now exhausting shifts (when they return to their beloved ones being so worn-out and worrying about even the remotest chances to infect them). Note that I do not say such things in principle: I have experienced this closeness, which greatly helped me to rise up. So they are not "simply" heroes - they are angels as well: angels at work in a hell of spherically symmetrical pain, where you can see two people slip away in a handful days, and that only in your own hospital room.
I am deeply moved when I think of them. I am quarantined at home now - effectively out of hell - but I cannot forget that they are still in the trenches of the struggle against this multifaceted infection and its often deadly effects, so I often phone the ward to ask them if they are faring well and to renew my gratitude and moral support. So I heartily offer this image to them: to those who supported me* and to all the others who are doing the same for so many other infected people.
More than three years later I am re-reading this text, after the ebbs and flows of the pandemic and of the conspiracy theorists and no-vax, and biosimilars, I confirm every single word. I would write the very same text right now. Maybe in uppercase.
* Sadly, I cannot even recall their faces, since the safety devices made almost all of them an indistinct blur of facial features. Of course I was able to discern whether they were male or female, or to recognise someone taller than the average; however I can not forget their unique voices.
This image has been unhearted from my Rosolina Mare archives (June 2016) (see the album Rosolina sunrise). That surprigingly beautiful location gifted me with a couple of sunrise sessions; the first was the most fruitful one: a powerful thunderstorm had stormed the night, leaving behind an incredible cloudscape. Moreover the low tide revealed harmonious wavy patterns carved in the sand by the flow of the gentle waves.
As I walked southwards the beach resorts soon ended and I found myself walking along an expanse of wild beach with beautiful dunes and stranded driftwood here and there. This image depicts one of the innumerable views I was gifted with that morning.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.0/0/+1.0 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4. RAW files processed with Darktable.
The look & feel of this photo notwithstanding, here there is only an intensive work of blending of the bracketed photos (uncharacteristically, much of this work has dealt with the overexposed shot). No Orton or similar effects; just the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic as a final contribution to the processing of the foreground. While this technique (which, its imposing name notwith standing, is pretty simple to implement) often holds interesting results in full daylight landscapes, its effects on a low-light capture (e.g. a sunrise) are utterly unpredictable, so at the end of my workflow I often give it a try to ascertain its possibilities.
