Green Roofs

Spanish colonial architecture in the historic centre of Icod de las Vinas, Tenerife.

Interior of the roof, in mudejar style (a fusion of spanish and moorish tradition)

Great series. What a intricate work!

Looking for Cimabue

Interesting building, I find crypts a bit claustrophobic but this feels more roomy and relaxed.

Definitely has a strong Moor influence, so pretty, wood panels and decorations are fascinating.

A fisherman on the Galata Bridge in Istanbul. They are kind of professionals! They sell their catch while they are still alive. They catch mostly istavrit

That's a strange way to stand while fishing, he can hardly see what he's doing ;-)
I guess there wasn't much space next to fence or perhaps it was just too windy there.

I don't know why he was standing this way, you can see all the others fish on the edge of the bridge. It was not windy at all. But gave me a nice composition.

Agreement between municipal, provincial and federal governments resulted in creation of a massive $1.5 B flood control project where Don river meets Lake Ontario. In order to facilitate grand landscape development 3 sets of bridges were constructed. Designed in UK, engineered in Germany, manufactured in Holland, assembled in Nova Scotia and brought on barges to Toronto for final installation. There is still a lot of construction around, but bridges are open to vehicular traffic, walkers, runners and bikers. I could have spent hours there, but I think return trip in better weather is a must.

Interesting project. Lots of potential for photography 😁 Are they going to be illuminated at night?

Excellent shot! I wonder how edible the fish are? The waters of the golden horn must be pretty polluted?

Thanks for your nice comment, the fish are perfect for consumption as the water are pretty clear now. This point where the golden horn meets with Bosphorus there are very strong currents that keeps circulating the water. When you travel further in, water quality gets poorer as there are human made structures hamper the flow.

Goldeneyes

Last weekend visited bird sanctuary, which was bad idea. Most of road was frozen solid ice, so I had to walk very carefully while holding my camera. Not much birds were seen, until I reached shore and saw some goldeneyes quite close to waterline diving for something. It was relatively warm (ca. 0C) and sunny but wind was quite strong, adding chill effect and I managed to stay there for maybe 20 minutes before my hands were completely frozen. But at least I got some shots which was kind of surprising, as usually they are very cautious birds and don't let approach very easily.

Goldeneyes ! They deserve their names.

This is a very pretty site for urban photography. I love lines and curves together very much :)

YSL museum in Marrakech! I am surprised.
Very skillfully composed and you captured the director's action just in time.

He loved Marrakech and lived out there for a long time with his partner. He created an amazing garden at the back of the museum (which was originally his house).

Having a human presence adds greatly to this shot. Are they other visitors? As it looks like a fashion shoot.

I like the strange way the guy seems to be hiding from the fish in the river.
