#fensterfreitag #windowfriday #montreal #architecture #photography

Photograph of two windows. The small one at street level has twelve small glass squares in a white frame and is protected by a simple black grill. Someone has left a water bottle in the bottom right corner. The window above on first floor is composed of four sections with white frames. A red brick building and blue sky are reflected in them. The wall of the building is made of large grey bricks. Black stains on the brick can be seen around the smaller window. On the left side of the two windows, five bright red exhaust pipes can be seen coming out of the building.

I realised I've now been around here for several years and tooted a ridiculous number of things so it's time for an updated intro to pin to my profile.

I'm Joanna. I live in Melbourne on the lands of the Kulin Nation.

I'm a legal administrator for a conservation not-for-profit. It makes me really happy that my spreadsheet wrangling helps protect threatened creatures and landscapes. In my spare time I'm a (very) amateur but enthusiastic birder- I'm sure neighbours who see me pointing cameras up at trees think I'm strange. I'm obsessed with #eurovision, get a lot of joy out of trashy dance music and have been getting into #MusicalTheatre. I'm always interested in #book recommendations. I post quite a bit about things happening in #Melbourne and love discussing what might make this place better. Long walks through Melbourne make me happy. I'm an amateur #photographer, mostly of #architecture and cute animals (instagram links in bio). I'm also currently trying to learn to speak #indonesian

Some other interests I probably won't post that much about but would be interested to follow discussions on are #christian #theology and spirituality, #linguistics and Indigenous history and culture.

📷 by Artist: #KarunchaiTreetrong 🇹🇭 in Loc.: #QuarryBay / Yick Fat Building, 1048-1056 King's Rd/ #Hongkong 🇭🇰 2024 - Title: untitled - #Art #Streetart #PhotoArt #Artist #Fotografie #Architecture #Travel #Photography ➡️ #APhotoLove

Photography. A color photo of an eighteen-story skyscraper with a red double-decker bus in Hong Kong. The photo shows the lower part of a huge skyscraper with countless windows, most of which have small metal boxes for air conditioning. In front of it is a red double-decker bus with advertising (for Toshiba) and next to it a train. The wooded mountain behind the building marks a straight green line in the photo, which makes the photo special. Both fill the entire picture. On the left is the ugly gray concrete wall with countless tiny windows that form a straight cut to the impressive green of the trees on the right. The train forms a straight bottom line and the red bus stands exactly between the building and the mountain. A photo with several levels and a great view of the photographer.
Info:
The Yick Fat Building, also known as the Monster Building, was built in the 1960s. It consists of several five buildings that merge into a huge architectural complex and are all connected by a very narrow inner courtyard. It is therefore one of Hong Kong's most famous photo motifs on Instagram. Visitors call it the "Monster Building" because the buildings resemble a Transformers-like monster. It consists of 2,243 units that are 18 storeys high. Currently, 10,000 people live in the complex.

读过 Cathedral 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
久闻大名且不负盛名的一部作品，一个花了 86 年四五代人才能完成的项目，需要有多大的集体信念感才行。中世纪营造涉及到各种工种，如采石匠、切石匠、雕刻师、水泥匠、泥瓦匠、木匠、铁匠、盖顶匠和玻璃匠，汇集了人类当时知识和技术的精华，叹为观止。

Black and white photograph of the top section of a symmetrical white stucco building, showing its staircase shape roof typical of this art deco style, with a brick chimney and three antennas on the four corners. On the floor level, the main entrance is partly visible, with three double doors and the words "Piscine de l'exposition" written above in capital letters. On the left side, cedar trees are hiding the building. On the right side of the entrance, the wall is pierced by a tall vertical window in three sections, the frosted glass having art deco square motifs in it.

A rather beautiful wally close in the west end of Glasgow. For those not familiar with the term, wally refers to the ceramic tiles used to line the communal stairwell (the close) of a tenement building.

Morning in the city

Apart from some little cropping, I didn't do anything to this photo. It doesn't look quite real, like a city from a comic book. That's how I feel when I go into a big city. I'm always looking for the organic, the living, the sun and the shadows, but the superposition of lines, the rectangles and the brightness of all the glass behind this old building is what I like here.
