Der Münchener U-Bahnhof Harthof: Die säulenlose Bahnsteighalle strahlt eine gewisse Nüchternheit aus, ist sie doch in ihrer Gestaltung vergleichsweise "unaufregend". Bei näherer Betrachtung fallen jedoch die durchdacht integrierte Beleuchtung und der behutsame Umgang mit Formen, Farben und Materialien auf. Die gefaltete Dachkonstruktion dient gleichermaßen als Lichtreflektor wie auch als gliederndes Element des Bahnsteigs, hat man doch das Gefühl, in einem Bauwerk mit herkömmlichen Dach zu sein. Die mit hellrosa und granatroten Glasfliesen verzierten Wände nehmen Bezug auf das kräftige rot des Linienbandes. Geplant wurde der Bahnhof vom Architektur-büro Obermeyer in Zusammenarbeit mit dem städtischen U-Bahn-Referat. Eröffnung:

Munich’s Harthof Underground Station: The columnless platform hall exudes a certain sobriety, since its design is comparatively “inexciting. ” On closer inspection, however, the well-thought-out integrated lighting and the careful handling of shapes, colours and materials stand out. The folded roof construction serves both as a light reflector and as a structural element of the platform, since you have the feeling of being in a building with a conventional roof. The walls decorated with light pink and garnet red glass tiles refer to the strong red of the line ribbon. The station was planned by the Obermeyer architectural office in collaboration with the city’s subway department. Opening: 20 November 1993. (Source: www. u-bahn-muenchen. de)

Eye Film Institute, Amsterdam
Delugan Meissl Associated Architects
"Situated in the privileged riverside area in the heart of Amsterdam, the Film Institute represents the visual landmark of the new Amstrdam Noord quarter. This development area extends over to the former Shell Terrain on the opposite side of the river to the Centraal Station, Amsterdam’s train station. As the international oil company’s former research centre, this area which is situated close to the city centre and along the the busy urban water vein held a sensitive function. It used to be an isolated wasteland, hermetically secured and not accessible to the public. (...) The Overhoeks Tower is the only architectural relic that reminds of the area’s former use. This distinctive landmark has been integrated into the Film Institute’s conceptual design idea through formal referencing." (archdaily.com)
"Unübersehbar thront der kristalline weiße Bau als Blickfang am Nordufer des Flusses IJ hinter dem Hauptbahnhof, flankiert vom ehemaligen Shell-Hochhaus aus den späten 1960ern – auf dessen Formensprache er subtil Bezug nimmt – und einem Grüppchen neuer Wohnbauten von der geleckten Sorte. Auch wenn Roman Delugan das nicht gerne hört, handelt es sich bei dem Gebäude zweifellos um eine Skulptur. Von jedem Standpunkt aus bietet der Bau, der abends zum riesigen Leuchtobjekt wird, einen anderen Anblick: Hat man ihn von Osten gesehen, ist er von Westen kaum wiederzuerkennen. Diese Dynamik der Wahrnehmung bildete die Basis des Entwurfskonzepts, das um den Bezug zwischen Film und Architektur kreiselte." (baunetz.de)
The fascinating thing of chameleons are their eyes. They could be moved in every different direction. So they could watch back and forward at the same time!

"If you want to express yourself you must present something tangible. But after a while this has only the function of a historic document. Objects aren't very important any more. I want to get to the origin of matter, to the thought behind it." Joseph Beuys, 1969. Ignore the Exif data, this shot was done with the Helios 44M-7 wide-open.
Clark's Woods - Iowa
Didn't have to venture out very far to capture the early morning delights. Buds, blossoms and leaves are finally "popping" announcing that spring is here in the heartland!
The variety of colors, shapes and size makes a walk in the woods worth the effort!

An ominous view over Clear Lake yesterday morning as the weather forecast was predicting freezing rain, sleet mixed with snow for our area starting late last night!
Well guess what? The weather man must know what he is doing because that is just what we are experiencing here this morning!
Sigh . . . not good!

Despite wind gust of over fifty miles an hour, tranquility and calm prevailed as I climbed Kane Mountain's 98 year old fire tower. The views are of a small corner of the southern Adirondack mountains, but amazing from any direction. Located near Caroga Lake, New York in the 518. Pentax.

In the windswept wilds of the North, a lone figure stands defiant atop a river stone, wrapped in a billowing white sheet that dances like a spirit in the wind. The landscape—rugged, raw, and golden under a break in the clouds—echoes the solitude and strength of the moment. It’s a portrait of resilience and grace, where nature and human presence blur into something timeless.

Lower Antelope Canyon in Page Arizona was our last stop in a week long trip to National parks in the area before we hit the Las Vegas. Last time I was here in afternoon so could not see the different shades of Red color which only is visible in morning time and you can see so many colors changing from here as morning sun rises above.
