Mini series: First day on the horse pasture / Erster Tag auf der Pferdeweide (Bonus)

A blurred photo as a series bonus? Really? Yes, absolutely! We photographers always strive to produce sharp images, but sometimes it's the blurred pictures that end up fascinating us the most. That's how I feel about this picture. My personal favorite image from this series. When I took the picture, I was standing in the middle of the herd with the horses galloping around me. Beauty, power, dynamics, speed and unbridled joy of life. This picture expresses all of that for me. Let the horses run! That's what they are for.

Ein unscharfes Foto als Serien-Bonus? Echt jetzt? Ja, unbedingt! Wir Fotografen bemühen uns ja immer scharfe Bilder zu produzieren, aber manchmal sind es die unscharfen Bilder die uns am Ende am meisten faszinieren. So geht es mir mit diesem Bild. Mein persönliches Lieblingsbild aus dieser Serie. Als ich das Foto machte, stand ich in der Mitte der Herde und die Pferde galoppierten um mich herum. Schönheit, Kraft, Dynamik, Schnelligkeit und unbändige Lebensfreude. Alles das drückt dieses Bild für mich aus. Lasst die Pferde laufen! Dafür sind sie da.

1540 Arquitectura references agave plant with triangular-shaped ranch

Exterior 1540 Arquitectura Ranch Tequila

Mexican studio 1540 Arquitectura has created a series of triangular structures incorporating a stable called Services Agavero Ranch in the Tequila district of Jalisco, Mexico.

Set in the Mexican countryside, the ranch was designed to resemble the shape of the agave plant, which is used to make tequila in the region that shares its name.

1540 Arquitectura designed the fully functioning ranch to be built within the existing agave fields.

Because of the uneven rise and fall of the landscape, triangular shapes were chosen.

"The triangle allowed us to rotate the constructions to our liking, only touching at one point with the construction next door, thus allowing us to adapt to the shape of the road in a natural way," said the studio.

"The similarity with the agave plant in terms of shape was a pleasant coincidence of the process."

The ceilings and foundations of the structures were made out of pigmented concrete, while the walls were formed from light brick.

The concrete colour is similar to the hues of the landscape and "allows a certain degree of transparency when the whole is observed from the back", according to the architecture studio.

1540 Arquitectura positioned the stables and the storehouse on either side of the caretaker's residence, which includes a bed, kitchenette, dining room and bathroom.

The storehouse contains all the equipment necessary for running the ranch.

Because of the changing needs of an agricultural operation, the use of multiple triangular structures allows for the future addition of more rooms.

While the tips of the triangular ranch structures stretch out and back towards the field, the broad fronts line the road. The entrances of the three separate envelopes are connected by a colonnade-lined portico.

The rows of colonnades that connect the exterior reference the "porticoes of small Mexican towns," according to the studio.

The overhang of the exterior walkway also provides shade from the intense desert sun. Lighting fixtures styled in an antique variety follow the walkway and saplings are planted in the gaps between the buildings.

The structure represents 1540 Arquitectura's plan to integrate the structure naturally into the landscape through colour, and into the cultural background through the use of traditional features like the portico.

"This time," the studio said, "it was the turn of the brick, the triangle, the podium and the colonnade, which combined together projected the atmosphere and presence we were looking for on this occasion".

This is not the first time that the firm has been involved with infrastructure for the tequila industry. Also in Jalisco, it designed the offices for the Casa Leyros Distillery.

For more architecture that integrates stables and horses, see these wooden stables completed by Pook on the edge of a Finnish forest and Casey Brown's design of a metal-clad house and stables in an Australian national park.

Das war der August

Dinks August-Rückblick im Schnelldurchflug.

Mir ist mal wieder die Halterung meiner VAUDE-Satteltasche kaputt gegangen. Während der Fahrt. Ich hab dann einfach das Band einmal durch den Gepäcktrager gefädelt und zurück in den Verschluss an der Tache gesteckt. Ging auch.

Ich habe VAUDE deswegen erneut angeschrieben und erneut kostenlosen Ersatz bekommen. Einfach klasse.

Wir im Südwesten haben einfach die besten Radwege. So!

Immer gleich. Immer anders.

Kino am Fenster.

Über’m Baumbach die Füße baumeln lassen…

Entspannung auf’m Kiesplatz in Lauffen am Neckar.

Immer gleich. Immer anders.

Da hab ich doch glatt meine Impfpriorisierung nicht genutzt.

Die Kilianskirche in Heilbronn.

Weitblick auf’m Prallhang.

Der Ludwigsburger Marktplatz.

Selbstbrotbackstube.

Red River in Heilbronn. Aus die Maus.

Hä…?

Der Alpsee im Allgäu.

Chaos und Stau am und im Bäcker Drive-thru in Beilstein. Mit laufendem Motor wird hier auf die Butterbrezel gewartet. Nebenbei rauchend auf’m Smartphone rumgewischt. Der Rest ist Lärm und Gestank.

Unfassbar … und die Szene geht noch. Ich muss mal bei doppeltem Chaos ein Bild machen.
