Pupating II / 10 Years TE, a photo from Zuid Holland, South

Photographer's Note

Pupating 2 / 10 Years TE

In nature some insects pupate .... and during construction most buildings do too. After a building has reached its maximum height, the construction is often covered in safety netting and during the closing stages of the building process this netting is removed in stages.

Like in the previous post, netting hanging from the new glass roof (with its photovoltaic elements) of the train shed of the new Rotterdam Central Station is displayed here. In this post I zoomed out and one of the massive Y shaped pillars of the new shed and the catenary wires can be seen. Also can be seen that some of the netting has already been removed - the pupating has progressed.

I shot this one through a train window, hence the gritty charachter of some elements/textures of the picture.

The new station will be opened in mid 2013 and the construction is a complex process of transformation of the old station which remains in operation during it. It involves phased demolition of the old station and creating temporary and new facilities. This picture was shot from one of the platforms.
Information about the new station is here.

And ofcourse: Happy Birthday TE ! 10 Years.....!

Bonjour Bert!

Les yeux du photographe ont bien fait leur travail! :o)
Jeu sublime entre les couleurs et la profondeur de l'image. Et magnifiquement cadré, comme d'habitude...

Hi Bert

We can better "read" this one than the previous one! I like the sharp red areas against the out of focus grey places. I don't understand why the blue building is sharp and not the grey one.
warm regards
CLODO

Royaldevon (85862) 2012-10-09 2:18

Good Morning Bert,

I think this may be even stronger than your previous shot for, besides the wonderful rich textures, patterns and colours, we have a great sense of depth, too.
Excellent!

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Dag Bert,

Het is schitterende samenstelling opnieuw gebruik makend van de rode kleur.
Zelf de blurred achtergrond maakt uw beeld aantrekkelijk.
Ux fotografie heeft altijd een buitengewoon tintje, waar wij overkijken heeft u gezien, dit is er zo goed aan.
Mooi foto werk Bert. Bedankt.

Groeten uit Vlaanderen, 13.9° C. 3/8 bewolking en 17km/h wind, zacht herfst weertje
John.

Hi Bert,

A really fine supplementary photo to your previous post. Exactly what I wanted to see. I really enjoy the mix of background foreground, strong colours, sharp and blurred parts and shapes and forms. A masterpiece! TFS and have nice evening!

Cheers,

Ulf

Hoi Bert,
Min oog viel meteen op deze foto,door de felle kleuren maar hoe lang ik ook kijk en je uitleg less,ik rijg het beeld en wat is het nou maar niet in mn hoofd ;=]]en dat is nou precies het leuke aan deze foto.
Ik v0nd overgens de oude stationshal van Rotterdam central ook wel wat hebben,behalve de achterkant dan,vorral in de jaren 90;=]]
Fijne avond Bert,

jan

Hola Bert

Beautiful graphical capture where you play and well with shadows and light
Good complement of your last capture
Well done
Maria

aliabazari (22099) 2012-10-13 18:57

Hi Bert's
Verstuur een mooie en aantrekkelijke display. Verlichting en een goede compositie. Duidelijk te zien.

Met alle respect, mijn vriend.

annjackman (23019) 2012-10-14 9:59

Hello Bert,
Love this! The vibrant red dominates but the other colours play their part. An array of graphic shapes that come together to give a fabulous abstract composition. The clarity is superb.
Kind Regards, Ann

maloutim (13617) 2012-10-16 18:08

Hi Bert,
This is a very interesting post about how a new station is built. And you made a very graphic, colourful photo out of a particular stage.
It's amazing how "Abstract Art" can be found anywhere in everyday life ! And when you know what it is, it isn't abstract at all ! But your shot made it so, because there is no way we could have guessed what it was without your explanation.
The red netting gives an incredible effect, and the shapes are very elegant.
Thanks for sharing into the anniversary theme with this post about a future train station, which means more travel, communication, adventure and photographs...
Best regards.
Marie-Louise.

Hello Bert,
Only after reading the note understood what we see here.
Always, RR stations draw attention and intriguing photography sessions.
The red canopies under outside light are main asset to this composition, blue and grey parts in fine contrast.
Good afternoon,
Ike
