"Das Geleucht" - a pit lamp designed by Otto Piene as a landmark on an old mining waste heap. Around 30 meters high. The heap lies on the left bank of the rhine and is something like the western frontier of the huge former industry area called "Ruhrgebiet".

Jupiter 11-2, 135mm, f5.6

Sadly the Mir-10A wasn't usable with longer exposure times than 6 seconds - heavy ghosting was the result:

Actually, call me weirdo, but I like the ghosting!! Very Happy
It gives it a retro sci-fi atmosphere.

These are taken half an hour before, a view east to the ruhr area. First factory premise behind the rhine is Thyssen, one of the biggest stealmills in the world.










Way to the peak (Mir-!0A):

Thank you for your comments. I enjoyed the trip very much because I rarely have the time for something like this. But today Yvonne said that it was o.k. to leave her alone with the kids... Very Happy

Michael, the more I look at your pictures, the more I love them.

There is something in #2 and #3, some "pureness" of lines and airiness, that reminds me of the best Leni Riefenstahl (one of my preferred photographers, politics aside)

Design. Geometry. No easily led persons intruding. In other images here, easily led persons are arranged in lines and blocks, so Leni uses lines and blocks in her design. When she went to Africa, she found designs painted on people, and used those, apparently without discovering a scandalous excess of regimentation there. She can handle curves, spaces, and random non-geometry, too.

Michael
So good to have you back. Fine series. Does the Baron von Thyssen still drive around in the stainless steel Porsche? Smile Smile Smile
