Walking Far (You can call me AL)

It was a real bonus getting to see it from the inside plus it was a free tour that day!

Nice when that happens. I found an old CF card recently which had photos from 20 years ago on it. Wish I could find the camera they were taken with but it might turn up one day during a clear out 🤞

Was really disappointed until I started thinking of it as just “loosely” based on the Foundation books. Then I started to appreciate it much more and really enjoyed the last two series.

A black and white photograph in portrait format. It shows a view inside a small bedroom in a castle. There is a leaded glass window with two wooden chairs in a niche. There are other wooden boxes and storage items in the room in the gloomy corners.

Fortunately, they wouldn’t let us climb the ladder to the top

A black and white, vertical photograph looking directly up into the complex internal steel framework of a Kelpie sculpture. A dense network of industrial pipes, girders, and cross-beams creates a symmetrical, geometric pattern that tapers toward the top. Light filters through the gaps in the outer steel plates, creating a high-contrast, mosaic-like effect against the dark structural skeleton. A narrow ladder runs vertically through the center of the frame.

👏👏

They are huge. You can get a tour of the inside. I did that the first time I went there. I’ll post an insider view to give you an idea

Thanks Beth, was from right at the edge of the pond in front of it.

🫣 yeah, life jacket required for that manoeuvre 😀

Thank you!

A black and white, low-angle photograph of one of the Kelpies. The sculpture is made of hundreds of interlocking steel plates held together by rivets, creating a textured, armor-like surface. The long, tapering base leads up to a bulbous, mechanical head on which only the nostrils are visible, making it look like an alien.

Close encounters of the Kelpie kind...
Seen from this angle, directly underneath, this Kelpie loses its horse head and looks more like it comes from another galaxy.

That’s a beautiful composition in its symmetry and simplicity Gregory

Awesome!

the boat pond, steeped in shadowed reflections, lays the placid foreground for the rise of the San Remo residence towers on central park west dominating that part of the inner city skyline

Black-and-white nighttime scene of a quiet, tree-lined road. Bare branches arch overhead, and a series of streetlights cast pools of light through thick fog, illuminating the wet pavement. Two small, distant figures walk along the path toward the glow, with a low wall and a sign visible on the right side. The atmosphere is moody and misty, with strong contrasts between deep shadows and bright light.

Thanks Maria! 🙏

Maybe he was new and just looking up the words to O Sole Mio 😀

A dramatic low-angle black and white shot of a Kelpie sculpture, looking directly up toward its open mouth and neck. The perspective emphasizes the towering height and the intricate, jigsaw-like assembly of the metal plates. The sky behind is filled with soft, wispy clouds that contrast with the hard lines of the steel.

A high-contrast black and white photograph of one of The Kelpies sculptures in Falkirk, Scotland. The horse head is shown in profile, facing left, against a dramatic, cloudy sky. Sunlight glints sharply through the gaps in the riveted steel plates. The lower portion of the frame shows the silhouette of a person and a railing, emphasizing the massive scale of the monument.

Must be time for another Kelpie post or two.... 
The way the sun was breaking through the steel was pretty neat😎
