A reflective, monochrome photograph of a steel retaining wall or sheet pile wall, whose massive vertical segments, with their bolts and fasteners, dominate the lower part of the image. Above them, railings and posts stretch across the image in undulating, distorted lines, as if the scene were dissolving into moving water. Light and dark surfaces merge into an almost abstract composition of reflection, industrial form, and rhythmic structure. The photograph appears cool, still, and at the same time slightly detached—like an urban waterscape caught between technical harshness and fleeting perception. (Photographed at the Teltow Canal, Berlin)

Black-and-white photograph of a quiet stretch of the Teltow Canal crossed by a broad road bridge. Several cars move across the bridge, their dark silhouettes standing out clearly against the pale sky. On the left, a massive bridge pier bears a large graffiti piece, and beneath it a small boat or working barge rests close to the bank in shadow. The canal water is almost mirror-still, reflecting the bridge, the riverside trees and the bright opening beneath the span in soft, slightly blurred vertical forms. Bare trees and dense wintery shoreline vegetation frame the scene, while out-of-focus branches in the foreground guide the view as if seen through a hidden window. The image feels hushed, cool and slightly detached, blending urban infrastructure, natural landscape and lyrical reflection.

Black-and-white photograph of a quiet stretch of bank along the Teltow Canal. At the centre, a dark steel sheet-pile wall projects diagonally into the calm water, its vertical ribs forming a strong graphic structure against the lighter background. The smooth surface of the canal reflects the wall, the bare trees and the wintry shoreline in long, slightly blurred vertical streaks. Behind the structure are dry reeds, undergrowth and a narrow metal railing, while on the left a slim post with a top element suggests something like a navigation marker or a technical shoreline signal. The scene feels hushed, cool and faintly melancholic, shaped by contrast, reflection and the austere hardness of steel set within a natural landscape.

Black and white photo of a canal under a bridge, with graffiti on the walls, icy patches on the water, and structural columns creating strong shadows and lines.

A black-and-white photograph showing an icy surface covered with a light layer of snow. The shadows of a steel railing create geometric patterns on the surface. The texture of the snow contrasts with the dark steel and the dark areas of ice and water that are partially visible. This gives the scene an interesting and somewhat abstract depth.

A black-and-white photograph of an industrial bridge structure with riveted beams and columns. Graffiti can be seen on some of the columns. Beneath the bridge is a railing and water, partially covered with ice floes, reflecting the patterns of the beams above. The image captures the geometric details and structures of the metal construction.

View across the Teltow Canal from Adlershof to Altglienicke. The black-and-white photo shows the surface of the Teltow Canal in the foreground, with trees reflected in it. Behind it, you can see the Altglienicke shore with a storage and transshipment area, the gravelly embankment, a few leafless trees (it is winter), and long steel bridge sections stored behind the trees. In the background, you can see the first houses of Altglienicke and, far away, the dark edge of the forest.

Ice floes on a canal. A steel fender system extends diagonally from the bottom left to the top right of the image. The sky is reflected darkly in the patches of water between the floes. To the right of the fender, a discarded bicycle basket lies on an ice floe.
