Holländisches Viertel, Potsdam
"Potsdam's Dutch Quarters consist of 134 red brick houses, divided into four blocks, built between 1733 and 1740 by Dutch master builder Johann Boumann. King Frederick William I of Prussia had two things in mind when he ordered the development. Foremost, the Dutch had the reputation of being Europe's most modern and industrious nation of the time and the King wanted to attract other Dutch artisans to move to his residence. The plan didn't really work out and instead, Prussian and French merchants and artists moved into the Quarters.
But Frederick William I was also known as "The Soldier-King" and by building this particular kind of houses, he created affordable living quarters for his favorite soldiers, the Potsdam Giants, an elite troop of foot soldiers with a minimum height requirement of six Prussian feet (6'2"). Dutch houses were not very wide, but relatively tall. Each house had a small quarter on the third floor and every resident was required to house one of Frederick's giants in these rooms."

A shot from an old railway tunnel in wales, Tim on silhouette duties while I smoked him and Tom Hill out, A lovely end to the weekend. I like this shot a lot as I think its a bit dramatic, Dark but the gap between the tunnel walls and the silhouette kind of make it for me, simple stuff, CWB & a laser and the most silhouetted man in the world!

Thomas Schütte’s 'Model for a Hotel 2007' is on show at Trafalgar Square. It lends itself perfectly to those of us who like to dissect a shot - every angle reveals a new structure. It's quite amazing. You can see the 'real thing' below - although this is 'real' too apart from having been cropped. The white quarter is the sky - I chose to shoot into the sun.
