Green Stairway to the Sky

Scheduled to be up and running this summer, the Mercedes House by Ten Arquitectos will provide a fresh new look to the bustling streets of Midtown Manhattan. With spectacular views of De Witt Clinton Park and the Hudson River, the building zig zags vertically and diagonally to preserve city side streets.

The massive 1.3 million sq ft structure features 865 residential units, commercial and storage spaces, a neighborhood market, health club, horse stables for the NYPD, and of course, a state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz dealership.

New York-based photographer Eric Cahan captures long, vertical shots of beautifully multihued horizons in his ongoing work entitled Sky Series. This project, at its core, is an exploration of light, space, and memory. By capturing a wide array of colors in different skylines, Cahan is reflecting on the power of light in different settings.

High-res First amateur image of another solar system captured by New Zealand man A NEW Zealand man has been hailed as the first amateur photographer to capture an image of another solar system, after he photographed the star Beta Pictoris using a 10-inch (25cm) telescope at his home in Auckland. The photo shows the protoplanetary disk surrounding the star. The disk represents a developing solar system, and the material inside the disk could develop into planets and asteroids.

Extremely long exposure: Photographer endures 15-hour shoots in the wintry Australian outback to snare stunning images of star trails in the night sky

Australian photographer Lincoln Harrison’s photographs of star trails in the Australian night sky. These long-exposure shots were taken over the course of 15 hours! Not only did these shots require a lot of patience but they also required a great deal of stamina.

In order to take these shots, Harrison had to withstand Australia’s cold winter night near Bendigo over Lake Eppalock. Harrison describes his experience saying, “It was a grueling night with a total shooting time was 15 hours in freezing conditions, sunset to sunrise.”

From the Artist: “While out exploring places far from city light pollution, I occasionally come across houses, farms, structures that have long been abandoned. It’s fascinating to me the beauty these places can still hold while slowly falling to pieces. I get nostalgic and imaginative wondering who built it. What plans did they have, what lives did they live in these places?

In its current state, it is a hazard. Many would call it a failure. A body, dead, but unburied- bones and skeletons still standing. The wallpaper is gone, the windows are usually broken long ago, roofs caved in sometimes, stairs collapsed- but every one of those elements was once purposefully and carefully put there, piece by piece until a house was made”.
