Night time photograph of a highway, shot from the diverging lane, pointed towards the void at the end of the street. A street lamp over the highway shines blindingly bright into the darkness that reaches the rest of the street. An other street lamp that's out of the frame shines light onto the street markings in front of the photographer's perspective. It's not really well visible what's left and right of the street but you can make out what looks like bushes.

Photograph at night, of train tracks with pipes running along those tracks on one side, behind that is a power plant that is partially lit by blue and purple light. The blue and purple light also colours the fumes that come out of the two chimneys, on the left and right of the power plant. Right to the outer left chimney are two tall buildings and a building with industrial scaffolding around that, and a crane; right of that you have the left outer most chimney. There is a way bigger chimney in the middle of the power plant in picture, but further back and it's not lit up. A few buildings that neighbour the plant are visible and they're soaked in the power plant's purpelish-blue light.

Photograph of a close up cluster of high rise buildings at night with fog. The lights from the windows of the buildings shine in a bright, cold blueish white colour, which gets also picked up by the fog surrounding the skyscrapers making the surroundings of the skyscrapers light up as well. The skyscraper in the middle of the frame has an antenna that is lit by yellow light, which also gets absorbed by the surrounding fog, making the building have a foggy outline of coloured light. There is an other high rise next to the yellow one, appearing small because it is partially behind one of the foreground buildings. That building has, opposed to all other buildings, red lights shining from the windows, making that building stand out, even though it's relatively small, compared to the foreground buildings.

Photograph at night, of a city's high rise skyline – city is Frankfurt, Germany –. The lower third of the photograph is dark, shadowy and shows the many railways of the central station; there are two trains that are parked and lit in cold blue light from above; an other rail is occupied by a driving train that you can only see the back of, with its red lights. The upper part of the image has many high rise buildings that shine a cold, blue light into the foggy sky. The high rises on the left side are more sparsely spread whereas the buildings on the right side are more clustered together, which results in a veil of cold, blue city lights above the buildings due to the fog in the sky.

Photograph of an industrial train yard that looks run down. The yard buildings are all sprayed with different graffiti, mostly throw up graffiti. A building further away on the yard has horizontal metal frameworks that come out of the side of the building where the tracks are. The frameworks run a few meters over the train tracks and end over the harbour basin that is barely visible in the photograph. The sky is overcast, the sun shine on the clouds make them partially really bright, while other parts of the clouds are pretty dark.

An other pretty old shot of ours (Feb. 2021)

#photography #streetphotography #bahnhofsviertel #frankfurt #urban #urbanphotography #urbanlandscape
Daylight photograph of a dirty street after rain. The street is still shiny from how wet the streets got. Buildings surround the street. There is an erotic store that looks really run down from the outside. There are parked cars on the street and further back are cars driving on the street, with their headlights reflecting somewhat strongly. A crow, with its wings stretched out is flying over the small area of the photo where the sky is visible.

"It would be cool if images had metadata embedded in them about the copyright owner or something.", well good thing that it is a thing with XMP metadata.
Screenshot of window with title "Metadata Viewer" (part of image manipulation software GIMP). There are three tabs, "Exif", "X-M-P" and "I-P-T-C"; the "X-M-P" tab is in view, showing a number of various metadata. All of the lines, except for the lines where copyright data is embedded are blurry. The lines that aren't blurred out contain the attribution URL, the URL to the license, and the URL to the license text.

Photograph of the interior of a house that's about to be demolished. The floor is almost too dark to see that there is a puddle, the size of almost the entire room. The only visible wall in front of the camera lens has four breakthroughs, through the wall, into different rooms. The roof seems to be held up by an arrangement of support pillars, that are aligned with the wall. The wall is mostly painted white, but only to a certain height; the brick wall is visible above the white part. There are windows in the rooms behind the breakthroughs, where deep red light shines through.

Photograph of a landscape where the sun is setting behind the peaks of two mountains in the distance. The cloudless sky lights up in bright yellow, that turns more orange/reddish at the horizon, but gets more off-pink in the sky above the sun. There's a green meadow with some trees between the mountains and the lense, and a river that stretches along the whole bottom of the picture.

Photograph of a small room with tiled ceramic walls. A round ceiling light is illuminating the room in a deep, dark, red color. There is so much red that it is basically the only color besides the black shadows of the objects in the room. A series of four trash bins is lined up to the left wall, from the back of the room to the middle of it They are almost black, except for the labels on them. A cage trolley is standing in the front, aligned to the right wall, with a pile of waste paper on it. There is a closed door at the back right of the room.

Photograph at night of a foggy park path, covered with brown leafs. There are three light posts in a periodic distance of approximately 10 meters, or 32 feet. They shine bright with a blueish tint, but mostly fail to illuminate the surroundings. The leafs on the path reflect some of the light, as well as the green grass next to the light post and path, but you can't see most of the grass, as darkness covers almost the whole picture.

Photograph at night. Shot from a dark corner near the train path at a service way. There are multiple train tracks on the left side with overhead wiring on top, that are held by a series of horizontal metal bars, that is held up in the air by two steel trusses on each side. An assortment of pipes run along next to the tracks. There is a building with a lookout tower that can oversee all tracks, on the service pathway. The trains on the tracks are brightly illuminated and the city skyline is visible behind the trains. The skyline shines and slightly illuminates the clouds above.

Photograph of a high voltage transmission tower from inside an other transmission tower. The camera is pointed upwards so that the tower is visible from top to almost bottom. The sky is dark and there is purple light, coming from the right side of the image. It illuminates the grid structure of both towers in a purple light.

One of my first pictures that I've ever taken as part of my photography artistic journey and also one of the first photographs I ever had the joy to develop and post produce.
Surreal how one of our most favorite shots ever was also one of our first proper shots ever.

#photography #urbex #urban #art
Photograph of a run down room, where the wall paint is almost completely flaking off. The colors are a muted and greyish, except for the brightly colored graffiti on the wall, which stands out very much with its colors. A long, narrow cabinet with a destroyed front stands next to the graffiti, in the corner of the room. Windows from the right side of the cabinet illuminates the furniture and the graffiti. The floor looks like it hasn't been swept in many years. The windows have white, wooden frames. The frames are mostly destroyed as well. Beneath the windows are radiators on the wall, they are very dirty and not illuminated very well.

Photograph of the end of an underground railway station. The picture is nearly, but not completely void of color. There are two rectangular pillars at the left outer edge of the frame, that separates the two tracks. Only the part of the tracks on the photographer's side are visible, the rest is covered by the platform, which leads to the darkness of the tunnel. Right next to it, is the wall of the station, which houses a fire hydrant in an impression of the wall, covered by a bright red door with a pictogram of the hydrant on it. The floor is covered by regular, square tiles, with a guiding strip at the edge of the wall, and at the edge of the platform. Luminescence lights are parallelly over the edge guide strip. The light reflects rather brightly from the tiles on the floor in a blueish-grey tone.

I really hope Danger Mouse and Peng Mouse are friends!
(Graffiti by Peng, photo and post production by me)
Graffiti on the side of a set of stairs. The graffiti depicts a simple drawing of a mouse, with whiskers, four small feet and two triangular ears, and a wavy tail. Inside the mouse the name "Peng" is written. The railing on the stairs has a german sentence written on with white marker, that states in the original: "Ein Leben ohne Peng-Maus ist möglich". Translated it means "A lice without Peng mouse is possible"

Photograph of an empty, foggy street at night, shot at a crossing of the street. The silhouette of turned off set of traffic lights are in front of two very orange shining street lights, that lighten up the surrounding fog in an orange tone, which gets more diffused as it gets away from the light source. The street and its markings are in an orange tone due to the street lights. You barely can see anything else besides the street and traffic lights, because it's so dark.

Night photograph of skyscrapers. One of the skyscrapers is on the entirety of the left side of the image, with blueish grey light illuminating some windows and yellow accent light for its facade. Neither the top nor the bottom of the tower is visible. Another skyscraper is in the middle of the image, surrounded by dark silhouettes of other buildings and the aforementioned skyscraper. The windows of this tower are shining their light blindingly bright into the thick fog. A red shining partially visible logo is on top of this tower, with most parts of the logo being covered by the dark silhouette of one of the buildings that are in front of the tower with the logo. The lights let the fog in the air light up in a dystopian way.

Photograph of foggy pedestrian walkways at night. Very little light, except for the bright, diffused light that comes from the few streetlamps that are present. The streetlight directly above the visible area of the image illuminates the leafs of a tree on the pedestrian walkway. There is a stairway up that leads from the tree to the streetlamps that are visible.

Photograph of a symmetrically shot train path with four tracks. Railway overhead power lines and their supports running along the tracks, periodically. Leafless trees surround the sides of the tracks, the leafs being all red and on the ground. Lush grass is between the trees and the train path. A skyline of skyscrapers is at the very end of the train path, behind a grey, cloudy sky.
