I’ve been wanting to take a panorama of the city for a long time, but lately I have not been in the mood for photos in general. A bad case of inspiration disappearing (among other things I have lost recently) out of the sudden. Today I did it… and all flowed perfectly and now I have several different panoramas, all with different techniques and different moods to them. I’m not a huge fan of HDR photos, I think they look overprocessed but I liked how this one turned out.

I met a fellow RedBubbler, Adam Mattel yesterday and we did a photo shoot together. It was a very enjoyable morning and a pleasure to meet a member that lives nearby. This is one the images captured along the Susquehanna river at Harrisburg, PA. This site was settled due to the founder Harris operating a ferry across the river.

The Puente de la Salve absolutely shimmers over the Ría de Bilbao at night. Formerly a poster child for urban decay and post-industrial decline, inspired urban planning has the Basque city of Bilbao on the comeback trail.

I’m captivated by this bridge that I look at everyday from my office window. I had a rare opportunity to see it from a different view.

This is an original linoleum print that I created for a Dia De Los Muertos Exhibition. It was inspired by a visit to a old historical cemetery during a 4th of July celebration. There were kids climbing all over the head stones and there were some strobe flashing fireworks going off and everything was illuminated and the children’s shadows were being cast against the stones and envisioned that those who were buried there were somehow aware of the activity and, in fact, the dead were gathered together to celebrate the living. Dia De Los Muertos, or Day Of The Dead, is a celebration by the living to welcome back the dead. I have studied the origins of this Mexican Holiday and subscribe to some of it’s tenants; that there are times when the dead walk among us.

Sach’s Bridge near Gettysburg, PA. along old Pumping Station Road, is a rebuilt version of the bridge which was used by the Confederate Army as it began its retreat from the Gettysburg battlefield. The original bridge was said to be haunted by three Confederate soldiers that were hung from its rafters for desertion. It’s claimed that the new bridge is now the home for the ghosts.

Others related images: 1.987 – 1.992 ENGLISH Client: Junta de Andalucía / Architect: Santiago Calatrava / Type: Bowstring / Span: 656 ft / Use: Mixed Local Authorities ordered from Sevilla Santiago Calatrava bridge to provide access to Cartuja island where the Universal Exhibition held in Seville in 1992. In its original form two bridges planned Calatrava symmetrical and opposed to each side of the Cartuja island to provide access to the important exhibition. Subsequently, due to excessive cuts in the budget, the client chose to perform a single bridge over a viaduct of 500 meters in total length. The Alamillo Bridge finally stood on the east side of Round Ring, meander through the San Jeronimo, a tributary of the Guadalquivir river. Highlights of this work is undoubtedly the spectacular cable-stayed pylon height of 142 meters final with the help of 13 pairs of wires that are anchored to the bottom of the deck and through its own weight, get long sustain board 200 meters in total length. This enormous basin, which contains within itself a staircase than one viewpoint at the summit which is called “the eye of the horse’s head” and from which you can see a panoramic view of the entire city of Seville has an inclination of 58 degrees resembles one of the pyramids of Egypt, Cheops. It would give the board a mixed use which was distributed in three lanes for each direction of traffic on both sides and a walkway for pedestrians and bicycles higher in the center. Inspiration Calatrava imagined prior to the completion of this majestic bridge was triggered by a previous sculpture designed by the architect himself called “Torso in motion.” ESPAÑOL Cliente: Junta de Andalucía / Arquitecto: Santiago Calatrava / Tipo: Atirantado / Vano: 200 metros / Uso: Mixto Las Autoridades Locales de Sevilla encargaban a Santiago Calatrava un puente para dar acceso a la isla de la Cartuja donde se celebraría la Exposición Universal de Sevilla en el año 1.992. En su primer diseño Calatrava había previsto dos puentes simétricos y opuestos a cada lado de la isla de la Cartuja para dar acceso a la importante Exposición. Posteriormente, debido a recortes excesivos en el presupuesto, el cliente prefirió realizar un solo puente más un viaducto de 500 metros de longitud total. El Puente del Alamillo se situó finalmente en el lado este de la Ronda de Circunvalación, atravesando el meandro de San Jerónimo, un afluente del río Guadalquivir. Lo más destacado de esta obra es sin lugar a dudas el espectacular pilón atirantado de 142 metros de altura final que con la ayuda de 13 pares de cables que se anclan a la parte inferior de la cubierta y mediante su propio peso, consiguen sustentar el largo tablero de 200 metros de longitud total. Este enorme pilón, que contiene en su interior una escalera de acceso superior a un mirador situado en la cúspide al que se le conoce como “El ojo de la cabeza de caballo” y desde el que se divisa una vista panorámica de toda la ciudad de Sevilla, dispone de una inclinación de 58 grados similar a una de las pirámides de Egipto, Keops. Se le daría un uso mixto al tablero que se distribuyó en tres carriles para cada sentido de tráfico rodado a ambos lados y una pasarela para peatones y bicicletas más elevada en el centro. La inspiración previa que imaginó Calatrava para la realización de este majestuoso puente vino motivada por una escultura previa diseñada por el propio arquitecto llamada “Torso en movimiento”. © José Miguel Hernández Hernández

Cliente / Client: EXPO 92 / Ingeniero / Engineer: Juan José Arenas de Pablo & Associates / Tipo / Type: Atirantado – Bowstring / Vano / Span: 168 metros – 551 ft / Uso / Use: Mixto – Mixed ENGLISH EXPO ‘92 in Seville instructed the Engineer Juan José Arenas de Pablo a bridge linking the historical city of Seville with the Cartuja island where it was to celebrate the important Exhibition in Seville in the year 1992. We designed a truly innovative bridge through a mixed structure of steel and concrete that has become a symbol for this city. Two triangular shaped sloping porches at both ends of the bridge combined with a large central arch of steel. This enormous steel structure rests on a view reinforced concrete foundation with four pillars located at the four corners and 30 feet away in the transverse direction thereof. These two porches and sloping triangular steel receiving the axial force of the bow so it does not crash this and loads transmitted to the foundation, also served to make the gateway to the important event. At the core of the gateway and the bridge longitudinal direction of tensioned cables were arranged to make the work of sustaining the long board which has 168 meters total length. The bridge construction system was fairly simple. After building the structure on land in one of the two sides, would turn around later on heavy-duty boats through the channel to match the four millimeter concrete supports located at the four corners on both sides of river. A mixed use would be given to the tied arch bridge that has become an emblem for the city of Seville by two lanes of traffic in both directions and two pedestrian walkways at the ends.

Esta enorme estructura de acero descansa sobre una cimentación vista de hormigón armado mediante cuatro pilares situados en los cuatro vértices y a 30 metros de distancia en el sentido transversal del mismo. Estos dos pórticos triangulares e inclinados de acero que reciben la fuerza axial del arco para que no se desplome este y que trasmiten las cargas a la cimentación, sirvieron también para hacer de puerta de entrada para el importante evento. En el eje central de la pasarela y el sentido longitudinal de puente se dispusieron los cables tensados que hacen la labor de sustentar el largo tablero que cuenta con 168 metros de longitud total. El sistema constructivo del puente fue bastante sencillo. Después de construir la estructura en tierra en uno de los dos lados, se giraría posteriormente sobre unas balsas de gran resistencia a través del cauce para hacerlo coincidir milimétricamente con los cuatro apoyos de hormigón armado situados en los cuatro vértices a ambos lados del río. Un uso mixto se le daría a este puente de arco atirantado que se ha convertido en todo un emblema para la ciudad de Sevilla mediante dos carriles de tráfico rodado en ambos sentidos y otras dos pasarelas peatonales en los extremos. © José Miguel Hernández Hernández

1.996 – 2.000 Cliente / Client: London Borough of Southwark, Millennium Bridge Trust / Arquitecto / Architect: Norman Foster + Partners / Colaboración / Collaboration: Anthony Caro & Ove Arup Engineers / Tipo / Type: Puente Colgante – Suspension Bridge / Vano / Span: 320 metros – 1049 ft / Uso / Use: Peatonal – Pedestrian ENGLISH The modern and innovative design of this interesting bridge was the result of creative collaboration between architecture, art and engineering through the prestigious architect Norman Foster, the sculptor Anthony Caro and structural engineers Ove Arup & Partners who won the international competition of ideas. The material was used in the design of this bridge is aluminum and steel, however, highlight the two huge concrete supports that are anchored to the two steel supports in the form of “v” and linked to one itself with the aid of suspension wires, make the work of supporting the 2,000 tons of total weight to withstand the weight of 5,000 people on the bridge at the same time. Steel profiles that traverse the bridge from one side to another and which are repeated across the bridge every four feet, contained in the longitudinal direction by way of the four huge cables strung taut with circular cross section on each side. Opened after it was discovered that due to the large influx of people crossing the bridge daily, give the well-known phenomenon of “lateral movement” amazing event that is produced by the crosswalk synchronized swing that causes the gateway to a large measure. After extensive testing by different technicians, discrete dampers were installed under the hood that corrected the problem seriously. To gain sufficient altitude giving coverage to small-scale vessels, opposite the Tate Modern was designed as a ramp over which will be achieved to reach the top level of the catwalk. The Millennium Bridge was the first bridge built in the Thames after the adjournment of the famous Tower Bridge in the year 1894. The Millennium Bridge is located between Southwark and Blackfriars bridges and save the River Thames at the height of the Cathedral of St. Paul joining the Bankside area with the City. ESPAÑOL El diseño moderno e innovador de este interesante puente fue fruto de la colaboración creativa entre la arquitectura, el arte y la ingeniería a través del prestigioso arquitecto Norman Foster, el escultor Anthony Caro y los ingenieros estructurales Ove Arup & Partners quienes ganaron el concurso internacional de ideas. El material que se empleó en el diseño de este puente colgante es el aluminio y el acero; no obstante, destacan los dos enormes apoyos de hormigón armado a los que se anclan los dos soportes de acero en forma de “v” y que unidos entre sí con la ayuda de unos cables en suspensión, hacen la labor de sustentar las 2.000 toneladas de peso total para poder resistir el peso de 5.000 personas sobre el puente al mismo tiempo. Unos perfiles de acero que atraviesan transversalmente la pasarela de un lado al otro y que se van repitiendo a lo largo del puente cada cuatro metros, contienen en el sentido longitudinal a modo de hiladas los cuatro enormes cables tensados con sección circular a cada lado. Después de inaugurado se descubrió que debido a la gran afluencia de personas que atravesaban el puente diariamente, se diese el conocido fenómeno del “movimiento lateral”; sorprendente caso que se produce por el paso peatonal sincronizado y que hace que se balancee la pasarela en gran medida. Después de diferentes pruebas exhaustivas por parte de los técnicos, se instalaron discretos amortiguadores bajo la cubierta que corrigieron el serio problema. Para ganar la altura suficiente dando así covertura a los barcos de pequeña envergadura, frente al Tate Modern se diseñó una rampa en forma de v a través de la que se consigue llegar hasta el nivel superior de la pasarela. El Millenium Bridge fue el primer puente que se construyó en el río Támesis después de que se levantase el famoso Puente Torre en el año 1.894. El Millenium Bridge se encuentra localizado entre los puentes de Southwark y Blackfriars y salva el río Támesis a la altura de la Catedral de St. Paul uniendo la zona de Bankside con la City.

1.994 – 1.997 ENGLISH The promoter Campo Volantín S.L. was the catalyst that brought to contest the construction of a bridge over the river Nervión not far from the site where it is located today the prestigious Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the work of another renowned architect, Frank O. Gehry. The main feature of the project was also agreement that the bridge would be high enough to let ships pass under his bottom. Santiago Calatrava, who won the project, designed a breathtaking runway thanks to the great parabolic arch of steel bent and split across the bridge from side to side. The steel arch with a circular section of 50 cm. thickness reaches a final height of 15 meters. The gateway, with a total length of 75 meters rises to 8.5 meters high with respect to its high water to make way for vessels flying their underpass. Two ramps in two tranches of 2 meters wide each with a slope of 7%, saving the high slope that provides the bridge to cross from one side to another. Tensioned wires of 30 mm. in diameter, are anchored to the arch of an immaculate white for the support of the striking gateway. The architect gave to this footbridge and innovative modern design by using a material with beautiful colors, translucent glass, and together with the artificial lighting by means of staying under the dashboard lights, produce every night a unique visual spectacle and truly spectacular . ESPAÑOL La promotora Campo Volantín S.L. fue la promotora que sacó a concurso la construcción de un puente que salvase el río Nervión no lejos del emplazamiento donde se encuentra ubicado hoy día el prestigioso Museo Guggenheim, en Bilbao, obra de otro reconocido arquitecto, Frank O. Gehry. La característica principal de dicho proyecto consistía también en que el puente tendría que ser lo suficientemente alto como para dejar pasar a los barcos bajo su paso inferior. Santiago Calatrava, que ganó el proyecto, diseñó una pasarela sobrecogedora gracias al gran arco parabólico de acero que inclinado y desdoblado cruza la pasarela de un lado a otro. El arco de acero, con una sección circular de 50 cm. de espesor, alcanza una altura final de 15 metros. La pasarela, con una longitud total de 75 metros se eleva a 8.5 metros de altura con respecto a su pleamar para dejar paso a los barcos bajo su paso inferior. Dos rampas de acceso en dos tramos de 2 metros de ancho cada una y con una pendiente del 7%, salvan el alto desnivel que ofrece la pasarela para cruzarla de un lado al otro. Unos cables tensados de 30 mm. de diámetro se anclan al arco de un color blanco inmaculado para el sustento de la sorprendente pasarela. El arquitecto dotó a esta pasarela peatonal de diseño moderno e innovador mediante el empleo un material de preciosas coloraciones, el vidrio translúcido, y que junto con la iluminación artificial mediante unos focos alojados bajo el tablero, producen cada noche un espectáculo visual único y auténticamente espectacular.
