This caught my eye.

Cool. Just let it continue to catch your eye

Connections (trainstationstudy nr 4b)
Which, according to the rule of thirds, is clearly about the pillar.

[Rob C]

Obviously, Oscar, you have no idea about what a good photograph has to be:

1. a pillar, of itself, holds no interest to third parties;

2. you have allowed important shadows to go below an acceptable value;

3. your monitor is obviously not propely calibrated;

4. the total lack of a strong, definitively blue sky makes the image look ridiculous.

But I can help you!

I have just published a new guide - a guide to end all guides - that is available by direct purchase from me. I don't use shops because I don't want my new best friends wasting precious learning time going shopping!

Just post a blank cheque to the address I shall give you via PM. (I ask for it to be blank so that I can save you money by giving the very best exchange rate at the moment of purchase! Every little bit helps!)

Expectantly yours -

Garry.

Pfff, i better send some advance cash via Western Union, no?

You're speaking my language!

I didn't have time to consult any rulebooks or find my cameras so a grab shot with the phone.

I rather like this image. it is quite mysterious and sensuous.

Connections II

As can be seen on this picture they are frantically building away at the new trainstation. It will be fun creating a set of images of the final result. The title for the project seems to have surfaced as well.

[32BT]

Here's the view towards the main entrance. An open structure. The wooden bench shows it is still under construction. The roof structure is clearly visible and includes an interesting waved shape. They are planning a large wooden statue of a dog at the front.

[32BT]

Here is part of the roof with the slight curving of the wave visible. It gives the impression of an upside down railway track. Although i like the abstract example previously posted here, i'd like to end up with a version including the wave to give that impression of tracks and the crisscrossing to allude to travels by train.

Thanks guys

Oscar, nobody think of the fire hazzard?

That road bridge collapse at Genova has made me determined never to try crossing the mega one recently opened in France. Neither would I like to cross the one that's shown in the opening titles of Inspector Montalbano (should have included him in the tv lists elsewhere!).

I think the Kingston Bridge in Glasgow can't be much younger than the one in Genova... it never looked finished - the Glasgow one.

Actually, i expect several of these extraordinary bridges to be part of your upcoming epic roadtrip. It 'll be your swansong anyway, so i'd say: wth...

First I have to get the apartment sold, then the epic trip - if I still have my driving licence by that stage. Of course, if the lottery turns out friendly first, then I have decided to keep the apartment as a spare, buy a new red Mustang (GT variety - no rag-tops) and forget all about European classics. More crumple zone in a big Yank. Which could be important.

I guess you can't avoid them, bridges, even off motorways, because if not over them, they are over you. You could say they've got your number!

Sorry for the off-topic rant, but we still have bridges and aqueducts from Roman and medieval times standing tall and proud, but our contemporary bridges crumble after 50 years!? In the recent case in Miami, literally the next day. Speaking about progress. Not to mention the irony of the First World looking more and more like the Third

Retribution?

That probably accounts for "repopulation", too.

From this afternoon's park walk.
#1: this lady seemed as surprised to see me as I was to see her. 
#2: this haughty chap stayed in place on his perch, posing (though likely not for me), for a good 30 seconds.

Retribution?

More like selective attention to detail. "There are so many more auto accidents now than there were a century ago! People's driving skills must be poorer!"
