For the Weekly Colour Challenge - Macro Red. This one was nearly the Macro Monday post for this week too!
Panasonic Leica Summilux 25 mm Bokeh. When I first got into Micro4/3 with the Panasonic GX7 the Leica lenses always stood out. I could scroll through Flickr and there was always something special about the PanaLeica photos. It is my favorite lens for the M3/4 system followed by the Oly 45mm which has a similar look to me.
The structure is an abandoned feed mill just outside of Atlanta. A lot of interesting photo opportunities given the length of abandonment. Have read that developers are circling for new apartment complex but for now it is open.
30 Days of Perception - Day 12
I was stopped in my tracks by the beauty of these embedded stones and noticed their structure and texture and the variety of tones. The moss growing between them created a connection.
Letting go of preconceptions. Everything is worthy.
I like the simplicity of the photograph, showing the connection via the steam. this was my 2nd favorite photo of a morning shoot in Seattle. I like the contrast of the sharp structure of the buildings with the softness of the steam.
A first picture of the „cobweb connection“ series.... :P

Melting Connection
Almost a kiss, almost a collapse.
This image was generated by artificial intelligence.
Two cybernetic beings—man and woman—reach for intimacy,
but as they connect, their circuits melt and form dissolves.
They are made of code, light, and nothing permanent.
Born from data, they can be erased like a thought.
Located on the West side of Joliet, Illinois, this lovely old building long served the Catholic nuns of the order of Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate, serving as their Motherhouse. Having three great aunts that were nuns in this order, I was fortunate to have visited this building in the past. It's good to see it renovated, and being used by the students of the University.
Motherhouse Renovation
The University of St. Francis purchased the historic Motherhouse, home to its founders the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate, at 520 Plainfield Road in 2004. Built in 1881, the Motherhouse was the first home to the university and has again become a center of campus activity.
The first renovations, completed in fall 2005, created classroom and state-of-the-art laboratory space for the College of Nursing and Allied Health, along with conference space and student housing.
In fall 2007, student center spaces and additional student housing opened. The student center space includes a game room, Three Oaks Bistro sandwich/coffee shop, the Fireside Lounge and a cyber café.
The Three Oaks Bistro, named for the tree that greets visitors at the quad entry to the Motherhouse, is open to the community.
Students can study at tables, work on computers or gather in groups to watch television in the Fireside Lounge and cyber café.
The residence hall space is particularly exciting, with many rooms having uniquely shaped windows, some like the gothic-shaped window seen in the USF logo. Amenities include modern bathrooms, laundry facilities and study and lounge spaces on each floor. All rooms have wireless Internet connection. The residence hall space includes three apartments, nine single rooms, 15 double rooms, three suites and one triple room.
St. Joseph Chapel was updated with paint and air conditioning. It was rededicated on Founders’ Day Opening Mass, Sept. 5, 2007. A meditation space for multi-denominational use is located near the chapel along with University Ministry offices.
Work remains to be completed on the center of the second floor, which will house office space and a heritage room.
I've seen this many times in Vancouver photos but this is my first take at it. For some reason I like it when I view it in a thumbnail but not so much when viewed large. I'm amazed at how I got the symmetry right (at least for my taste) at one take.
This was from a photowalk with Eric, Glen and Kenny this morning. March 08, 2009.
Ibra (Arabic: ابراء) is the second largest city in the Ash Sharqiyah Region of Oman. It is located about 170 km (2 hours) from Muscat and has a population estimated at 55,000 people.
Ibra is one of the oldest cities in Oman and was once a centre of trade, religion, education and art. The city acquired its importance as an important meeting point at the base of the Ash Sharqiya. Ibra is home of the huge Al-Harthy tribe, one of the biggest and most powerful tribes in Oman. The Al-Maskary tribe and the Al-Riyamy tribe are also both very prevalent in Ibra.
History
Ibra predates the Prophet Muhammed's calling. The city contains many castles and old mousques.
Ibra has become a more modern city since 1970 under the reign of Sultan Qaboos. Improvements include connections to Muscat via a two-lane highway, which has increased tourism. Communications have been improved to include broadband access, and there is now a substantial hospital. Ibra provides three choices of higher education: Ibra College of Technology, Ibra Nursing Institute, and beginning in the fall of 2010, A’Sharqiyah University. There are now two hotels in Ibra, and tourism is promoted in the area.
Geography and climate
Mountains surround Ibra on every side, and there is some outstanding mountain scenery close by. From November to March, the climate is relatively cool, with temperatures dropping as low as 10 C in December. In the summer, the climate is hot and dry, with temperatures reaching 50 C in July. Precipitation is very low and occurs mostly in the winter, when masses of low pressure air cause rain to fall.
Attractions
The main tourist attractions in the city are its many beautiful watchtowers, the traditional Souq, and Falaj AlAfrit. The design of the souq compliments the fort in every way. The Bait al Kabir was built in 1650 during the Ya'riba Dynasaty. It once stood as a centre of Government in Ibra.
Ibra Souq
The city, famous for its handicrafts and agricultural products, has an expansive souq showcasing an array of products. It is one of the most important in the country besides Muttrah. The souq bustles with vendors selling everything from meat, fish, fruits and vegetables to spices, dates, gold and silverware. Ibra is renowned for its silver jewelry which is considered to be the best in the country. Halwa (a traditional Omani dessert) is also sold in the souq. Halwa is a sticky dessert made from sugar and spices and flavoured with sesame seeds or almonds. Ibra souq is the only souq in the country to have a whole day just for women.
