Fotografia presa amb una càmera Rolleiflex Automat (RF 111A), fabricada el 1938; Ilford HP5+ 400 revelat amb HC110. Aquesta càmera és contemporanea amb Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Una de les zones més vistes i terribles de Birkenau és la plataforma de les vies, la "Judenrampe", on els SS decidien qui vivia i qui moria entre els desgraciats acabats d'arribar en tren al camp. Les conegudes "seleccions". Tots els infants, ancians, malalts, ferits etc andaven directament cap al final de les vies, cap a les càmeres de gas. Els "supervivents" (destinats a treballar fins a morir, sovint en setmanes), eren enviats a la "Centralsauna", l'edifici d'arribades del camp. Poca gent sap que els trens només entraren dins Birkenau a partir de maig de 1944. Anteriorment la via no hi arribava, i els descarregaven uns 2 km enfora, a la "Alte Judenrampe".
Auschwitz. Què més puc dir més enllà d’aquest toponim en alemany d’una vila polonesa. Tots ja sabeu què fou, de 1940 a 1945. Aquí es creà un camp de concentració per la explotació salvatge i mortal dels enemics del III Reich. Però sobretot a partir de 1943 i a la seva extensió (i futur camp independent) de Birkenau: l’extermini dels jueus europeus a nivell industrial.
Birkenau, o Auschwitz II, fou la expansió massiva del camp original (després conegut com Auschwitz I) a partir de 1942, inicialment amb el proposit d'explotar l'influx massiu de presoners de guerra sovietics, però que aviat va canviar cap a camp d'extermini per als jueus europeus, francesos, holandesos, grecs i sobretot, polonesos i hongaresos. Les cambres de gas de Birkenau començaren a funcionar el març de 1942 i no pararen fins octubre de 1944. Finalment, el camp fou alliberat el 21 de gener de 1945. Els nazis hi assassinaren més de 1.300.000 persones, la gran majoria just baixar dels trens, i la gran majoria, jueus...

=====================================
Picture taken with a Rolleiflex Automat camera (RF 111A), manufactured in 1938; Ilford HP5+ 400 film developed in HC110. This camera is of the same era than Auschwitz-Birkenau itself.
One of the most visible and terrible areas of Birkenau is the platform between the tracks, the "Judenrampe", where the SS decided who lived and who died among the unfortunates who had just arrived by train in the camp. The well-known "selections". All the children, the elderly, the sick, the wounded, etc. went straight to the end of the tracks, to the gas chambers. The "survivors" (destined to work until death, often within weeks), were sent to the "Centralsauna", the camp's arrivals building. Note that the trains only entered the camp from May 1944 till October, more or less. Before that, there was to track, and since 1942 the trains stoped a couple of km outside, on the "Alte Judenrampe".
Auschwitz. What else can I say beyond this toponym in German of a Polish town. You all know what it was, from 1940 to 1945. Here a concentration camp was created for the savage and deadly exploitation of the enemies of the Third Reich. But especially from 1943 and in its extension (and future independent camp) of Auschwitz II - Birkenau. The extermination of European Jews at an industrial level.
Birkenau, or Auschwitz II, was the massive expansion of the original camp (later known as Auschwitz I) from 1942, initially with the purpose of exploiting the massive influx of Soviet prisoners of war, but which soon changed to a camp of extermination for the European Jews, French, Dutch, Greek and above all, Polish and Hungarian. The Birkenau gas chambers began operating in March 1942 and did not stop until October 1944. Finally, the camp was liberated on January 21, 1945. The Nazis murdered more than 1,300,000 people there, the vast majority just of the trains, and the great majority, Jews...

From last night’s walk through Halloween Horror Nights.
Flying home today, but bringing lots of photos with me from the trip.
It’s been a good trip but as they say in Hollywood.....’it’s a wrap’.
Caernarfon Castle (Welsh: Castell Caernarfon) – often anglicized as Carnarvon Castle or Caernarvon Castle – is a medieval fortress in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, north-west Wales cared for by Cadw (Welsh for "to keep or look after"), the Welsh Government's historic environment service. It was a motte-and-bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward I of England began replacing it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale. There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon's Roman past and the Roman fort of Segontium is nearby.

Job 1 passes through the Route 11 bridge construction zone. The construction offers a new crossing to shoot at and another on top the approaches.
EXPLORE Highest Rank #62
Every so often I get the urge to try something new, something that I haven't tried before, and most importantly, something that I don't feel is within my "zone of comfort". So off Tom & I went to Palm Beach for some sunset and nighttime shooting.
I wasn't too excited about the sunset image opportunities at this particular site, so we concentrated on what we would do when the nighttime arrived.
I was taking images of the Royal Park Bridge, which connects the towns of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach, as seen from a small park area just south of the bridge. I was fascinated by the reflections of the city lights on the Intracoastal waters below, with the streetlights shining in the background, along with a glimpse of the downtown buildings. I still felt that something was missing, so I found this bench which offers one the opportunity to sit and take in the view of this beautiful area and I decided to incorporate it into the shot.
I really think that, while I didn't feel too comfortable with this type of shooting, that it's important to stretch our "comfort zone" in life, whatever realm of our life that is. Tom & I often do what many people might think are "crazy things" (you know, adventure activities - nothing makes us feel more alive - not to mention the feeling of conquering our fears or limitations that we place upon ourselves). So from a photographic standpoint, this was my way of doing that. Not so scary after all.
Thanks so much for stopping by to view and especially for all of your comments, which are very much appreciated.
Hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend!
A day at the playground with one of my great grand daughters. Smile. As I watched her pure glee on this merry-go-round I was taken WAY back to my own rides on a wonderful action machine like this and all the imaginary places it whirled me off to in my mind.
Fushimi Inari Shrine is one of the most famous shrine in Japan, so that thousands of people visit here everyday, but few visit at night. This photo was taken at "Senbon-Torii zone", it was very dark and mysterious atmosphere indeed.
写真では明るいように見えますが、実際はかなり暗くて足下もよく見えません・・・。ISO800で30秒ほど露光してもこの程度の明るさです。撮影しているといろんな虫が飛んで来てかなりミステリアス。時々、観光客が通りますが、行くならぜったい昼間がお勧めです。
