For Looking close... on Friday: "Silhouette"

There is a time before the world awakes and the cacophony of daily life starts that I call 'contemplation o'clock'. A time when you can hear yourself think.

Chippie prayers.

Well now we are contemplating the coming of Tropical Storm Nicole, which will hit the Florida coast sometime Thursday with 75 mph winds which is a Cat 1 Hurricane. This will be 35 days after Ian, and we just got the mess from that one cleaned up in our community.

in the silence

I'm revisiting old photos and developing them anew. Truthfully I'm procrastinating ... I will need to snowblow the driveway sometime today and I am just not in the mood. This is a street portrait that I think has potential but my skills with Photoshop won't let me 'get it to where I want it to go.' It was taken on the Lisbon subway (it was dark and the train was moving) at 1/15 second and subsequently is not as sharp as I would have wanted. I used 'high pass sharpening' and 'shake reduction' which improved it considerably. It's still not 'there' but perhaps it's closer to what I intended when I took it?

Cascais sunset reflection in Atlantic, Europe finishes here....land's end.

Contemplating the change of season with winter on the way. We were particularly intrigued with the short tail on the top sparrow and the down feathers on the bottom. "Yours is bigger than mine" springs to mind.

The view from the terrace at Schloss Heiligenberg in early spring. Such a peaceful place in the afternoon sun.
