I can't belive how time flies! This one is already the 200th picture I've uploaded to my stream. Thanks for your support so far!
Earlier this week I had the chance to walk through the Oculus down at Ground Zero here in Manhattan. It's a stunning space and far grander than an iPhone snap can capture.
I'll be back with my ultra wide lens and see what I can do to try and photograph the space in a way that conveys how you feel when you are standing there.
If you're interested, here's some more info about the Oculus pulled from their website...
"The state-of-the-art World Trade Center Transportation Hub, completed in 2016, serves 250,000 Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) daily commuters and millions of annual visitors from around the world.
At approximately 800,000 square feet, the Hub, designed by internationally acclaimed architect Santiago Calatrava, is the third largest transportation center in New York City.
The Hub's concourse will ultimately connect visitors to 11 different subway lines; the PATH rail system; the Battery Park City Ferry Terminal; the National September 11 Memorial & Museum; World Trade Center Towers 1, 2, 3, and 4; and Brookfield Place (formerly known as the World Financial Center), which houses the Winter Garden. It represents the most integrated network of underground pedestrian connections in New York City.
The “Oculus” serves as the centerpiece of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, incorporating 78,000 square feet of multi level state-of-the-art retail and dining. The concourses emanating from the Oculus link the entirety of the site above and below grade. With an additional 290,000 square feet of exciting, multi-level retail and dining space, the World Trade Center site is the focal point of Lower Manhattan."

P.S. Can you see the two guys clinging to the windows in the center strip of glass at the peak of the space? I didn't see them when I was taking this and was surprised to spot them when processing the image. Pretty wild!
This week's themes - "Connections". I had some other ideas that I had originally intended to use, but ran out of time.and so they did not come to fruition. While walking home from work I thought of my Dad and how he loved to spend time with his family playing games. This made me feel connected and I thought of using the game of Scrabble to show these connections between me and my Dad.
HMM everybody! Thanks in advance for all your likes and favourites.
Spaceship Earth's Rainbow Connection presentation of the Beacons of Magic light show during the 2022 International Festival of the Arts at Epcot in Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida on Friday, February 4, 2022.
Another Topaz Labs Photo AI processed photo. It really cleaned up the noise in the sky and in the colors being projected onto Spaceship Earth. Back in Lightroom Classic, I opened up the people using a linear gradient mask at the bottom of the frame. For the most part, people were stationary during the exposure.
Mobile phone hands free is the Bluetooth connection that will save you money and a blighted licence. Happy Macro Mondays.

Feel the tips,
inside your hand,
an itchy sense,
dreams are not
always huge or intense,
feel the golden glow,
before the first
drifting snow,
and i am close
to reflections,
so much connections,
what do we feel,
what do we know...

still finding all this flickr malarkey very amusing, for anyone who hasn’t seen the response that flickr got after asking what people thought of the site you can read the 158 pages (so far) here www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/72157633547442506/
im going to stop posting other story-telling shots below my main shot now as there isn’t much point now – and apologies in advance to anyone else who does this if i now don’t see yours
also wanted to say a huge thanks to everyone, whether it’s knee-jerk or not, a lot of people may now be leaving to go elsewhere – it’s such a shame as this was such a lovely little community luv m xxx
(PLEASE NO AWARDS OR PICTURES OR FLASHY BADGES)
This is a very special place. At the end of WWII, resistance people were shot here by the occupants. The dead make their presence felt through the monument. People acknowledge the connection by placing small found items on top of the monument. A special energy.
But I wanna talk to you, to pull you aside
I wanna ask you to come with me tonight
I wanna stay by your side

Ellen was married to John O’Connell who is also remembered on the grave. John died on July 19, 1942. I haven’t been able to find anything more on Ellen, but John’s death notice is in Trove and it states that he died at home, 17 Taylor Road, Claremont. Ellen and John had were remembered by their seven children.
There is also mention of James O’Connell who died in 1939. He is not mentioned in the funeral notices for John, so the connection is unclear. Possibly the eighth child?
Macro of a circuit board. C10, C11, and C12 but no COVID-19 in this picture but just because you can't see it doesn't mean it is not real!
Connections with family and friends are so important during this time of social distancing, always being mindful of prudent steps to keep the pandemic at bay. May we develop the "capacity" to love and serve in new ways and not "resist" God's hand in teaching us and changing us during this time world wide reformation.
