"Ribwort plantain is a plant of grasslands, field edges and cultivated ground and tracks, and regularly pops up in lawns as a weed. It flowers between April and October; in contrast to the long flower spikes of Greater plantain, the short, oval flower heads of Ribwort plantain appear as if balanced on the top of their thin, wiry stems. Its seed heads remain for most of the winter providing food for Goldfinches and other seed-eating birds." Wildlife Trusts website
When exposing an image, many adhere to the notion of ETTR. (Expose to the right) For the most part, it achieves the purpose when working with histograms. However, in this shot, I purposely underexposed the image in order to emphasize the light on the horizon.
The clouds on the skyline were a vivid yellow, with dark clouds above. This helped deliver a brooding atmosphere. An ETTR exposure tended to change the yellow to a brighter white, which changed the narrative.
Near high noon brings a northbound manifest off the Greeley Subdivision as it prepares to enter Cheyenne, WY. Ironically, right behind the Tier 4 compliant ACe was a long string of loaded company coal cars, surely to much chagrin of many a Green New Deal advocate.

If you looked at the couple on the left and you were wondering if they were socially / physically distant enough. If they live in the same household - there is no problem, there is no way to tell unless you were to check their IDs. Towards the centre of this picture, you can see someone in red crossing the road where they shouldn't be. Jaywalking is becoming very common now on the sidewalks of Toronto due to Social / Physical distancing (though we can't be 100% sure this was the case here).
When you looked at this picture what did you notice first? Do you see the changing of the times?

'Cassiopeia' with the 5Q94 07.34 Allerton DMU depot to Long Marston service, conveying 769421 for storage.
To the right of the tracks is the building site for the HS2 terminus at Curzon Street, the light brown building on the right edge of the image is the original building which was opened by the London and Birmingham Railway in 1838.
The large unusually shaped silver building on the far left is Selfridges department store which opened in 2003 having cost £60 million pounds to build. In front of it is Birmingham Moor Street Station.
At the bottom of the image next to the canal is the Proof House. It was founded by an act of Parliament 1813.
Its remit was to provide a testing and certification service for firearms in order to prove their quality of construction, particularly in terms of the resistance of barrels to explosion under firing conditions. Such testing prior to sale or transfer of firearms is made mandatory by the Gun Barrel Proof Act 1868 (31 & 32 Vict. c. cxiii), which made it an offence to sell, offer for sale, transfer, export or pawn an unproofed firearm, with certain exceptions for military organisations.
The proof process is that of testing a firearm for integrity using a severely overcharged cartridge, or proof load which is fired through the gun in an armoured testing chamber. This exposes it to pressures far beyond what it would experience in normal service. It is awarded a stamped proof mark if it survives without either being destroyed or suffering damage from the proof load. Larger guns were tested at a shooting range in Bordesley along a railway viaduct; however, the expansion of the city centre resulted in the closure of the shooting range.
Proof may be rendered invalid if the firearm is damaged or modified significantly; at this point it is described as "out of proof" and must be re-proved before it can be sold or transferred. Note that the correct term for a satisfactorily tested firearm is proved, or proven.
There are penalties for non-compliance with proof laws; a fine of £5,000 may be levied for selling an unproofed or out-of proof firearm, more if a number of firearms are involved in a transaction. Tampering with, or forging, a proof mark is regarded as even more serious.
The Proof House still exists, largely unchanged in both purpose and construction, although it offers a wider range of services including ammunition testing and firearm accident investigation. The building contains a museum of arms and ammunition, and can be visited by prior arrangement.
Morristown & Erie MO-1 ducks under the catenary enroute to Lake Junction in Mount Tabor, New Jersey on the NJ Transit Morris & Essex Line with a leased NJT GP40PH-2 leading the freight move, this unit has been leased for PTC compliance on the M&E until the remaining units on their roster get equipped, this has been the regular for a while but I finally got a chance to get shots of it in action. If you look closely you’ll also see a cut of Whippany equipment at the rear of the train, which got dropped for storage in Kenvil (5/18/22).
A very weird unmarked sculpture in the Columbia Slough Wildlife Refuge, in Portland OR, shot with my holga and filtered through photoshop.

CSX Q409 parallels the Hudson River on the Ex-NYC River Line with a duo of KCS units trailing behind a CSX ES44 for cab signal compliance, of very notable importance is KCSM 4554, one of the few AC44s on the roster remaining in the “Grey Ghost” scheme (5/15/21).
I realize that I am behind yet again and your art is all important to me. After going to a protest yesterday at noon in Chicago, I went to see Hidden Figures at Logan Theater in Logan Square. I had just paid and found my seat when I heard about the protest against Trump's anti-Muslim ban at O'Hare airport and decided to leave, even though I didn't have my camera with me and don't live in that area. My friend Joshua Mellin posted some amazing photos to his Flickr site here: www.flickr.com/photos/joshuamellin/ and I posted a photo and a few videos to my Instagram account here: www.instagram.com/kirstiecat_photo/ There's another protest happening at Terminal Five at O'Hare Airport at 6pm as Trump continues to defy all other government branches, act like a fascist, and appoint a white supremacist with Steven Bannon. If you are an American and you don't stand up to this , shame on you. It doesn't matter what race you are. We are all accountable for making sure our leaders follow the Constitution and adhere to Democracy vs. fascism.

Three times my life has opened
Three times my life has opened.
Once, into darkness and rain.
Once, into what the body carries at all times within it and starts
to remember each time it enters into the act of love.
Once, to the fire that holds all.
These three were not different.
You will recognize what I am saying or you will not.
But outside my window all day a maple has stepped from her
leaves like a woman in love with winter, dropping the
colored silks.
Neither are we different in what we know.
There is a door. It opens. Then it is closed. But a slip of light stays,
like a scrap of unreadable paper left on the floor, or the one
red leaf the snow releases in March.

Questa foto non è contro Flickr, ma CONTRO LA CENSURA.
"La decisione di cambiare Flickr in Germania non ha mai riguardato la censura - è stata presa per fare in modo che Yahoo!Germania rispettasse le restrizioni legali del Paese." (Leggete qui)
"Il Governo Cinese sta attualmente censurando Flickr" (Leggete qui)
Flickr sta attraversando il periodo più complesso della sua storia, denso di scandali. A quanto pare ci sono molti conflitti tra Yahoo Corp e i governi Cinese e Tedesco. Le restrizioni imposte dal sito non sono certo le migliori, ma a quanto pare sono attualmente costretti ad agire così.
Quindi io spero che gli azionisti Yahoo propongano una nuova mozione contro la censura, e che si continui a lottare CONTRO LA CENSURA in Germania, in Cina e in tutto il Mondo!
___________________________________________
This not against Flickr, but AGAINST CENSORSHIP:
"The decision to change the Flickr experience in Germany was never about censorship - it was made to try to ensure that Yahoo! Germany was in compliance with local legal restrictions." (read here)
"Chinese Government is currently censoring Flickr" (read here)
Flickr is through the most difficult time of its history, and there are some hard conflicts between Yahoo Corp and China and German governments. The restrictions taken by the site aren't the best ones, but it seems they need to take them.
So I do hope Yahoo investors will vote a new policy against censorship, and we all will stand AGAINST CENSORSHIP, in Germany, in China and all around the world!
After losing the ability to convene with loved ones for celebrations, I had the idea to create an image that told a story of loneliness on ones birthday in the midst of the pandemic. This is my 7th composition in my “Covid Compliance” series.
Saw this skirt and thong at today's weekend sale and knew immediately that I needed this in my life.

This photograph is a part of my most recent series, “Covid Compliance.” When the pandemic struck, and the ability to go out and photograph the world was no longer an option, I struggled in my identity as a photographer. “Am I still a photographer when I have no one to photograph anymore?” I asked myself. The change was sudden and tumultuous. We were forced into such intimate isolation with ourselves. This photo was birthed out of Trump’s commentary about ingesting bleach paired with those feelings of loneliness, isolation, and confusion that I was so intimately left with. Every photo in this series was taken in the confines of my basement and uses me as both the subject and photographer. The intimacy of the loneliness in the pandemic catalyzed in me a revival in my artistic practice. The confines of the loneliness expanded my imagination, and demanded I find new ways to tell stories. In this photograph, I use painted clouds to communicate the distance I felt from the outside world, the dead flowers to indicate the grim realities of our mortality during the pandemic, and the manipulated clock to communicate how disorienting time became in isolation. I created images to feel as dystopian and as surreal as reality felt during that time.
Morristown and Erie MO-1 runs eastbound down the Morris and Essex Line at GREEN Interlocking in East Orange with five tank cars for interchange with Conrail at Center Street. Leading is NJ Transit GP40PH-2 4104, which is still temporarily on lease to the M&E to meet PTC requirements.
There are only a few hundred Americans left: they are the bloated old white guys sucking up the air conditioning inside the virtually empty Republican National Convention Hall in Minneapolis this week. Everyone else is a suspect.
In the shot, above, a cop in riot gear grinds his knee into the back of a demonstrator's neck, pressing down with the full weight of his body while his vitcim's face is smashed into the concrete. The photographer, along with hundreds of others, was charged with "rioting." Organizers of the protests are being charged with "furthering terrorism" under Homeland Security Statutes.
Soon they will come for you.

"My name is Elliot Hughes. Me and some friends were chanting for—so that we could receive food in Ramsey County Jail, because we hadn’t been provided food. And six or seven officers came into my cell, and they took—one officer punched me in the face, right here where you see this bruise. And then they slammed—and I fell to the ground, unconscious. And the officer grabbed me by the head, slammed my head on the ground and re-awoke me out of—to consciousness. And I was bleeding everywhere. They dragged me to another detaining cell. They put a bag over my head that had a gag on it. And they used pain compliance tactics on me for about an hour and a half. They pressed—they separated my jaw as hard as they could with their fingers. And they bent my ankles back. They basically bent my foot backwards. I was screaming for God and like screaming for mercy, crying, asking them why they were doing this. And I’ve never been so violated in my life."
--Testimony of 19 year old RNC detainee Elliot Hughes.
[Sheriff Bob Fletcher told the Star Tribune that Hughes was, quote, “extremely disruptive in jail,” and that, quote, “it took some force to control him.”]
