Today in San Francisco. I guess it's a throwback Tuesday of sorts, well maybe not in San Francisco.

Weirdly beautiful and fascinating place - at times it feels like a moonscape

 

The Burren refers to an area of Carboniferous limestone uplands in North County Clare famous for its incredible plant biodiversity

Wandering lonely 2. I remember this day. Shannon estuary. Almost totally alone on miles of sand. No footsteps.

it looked miserable on a cold day

I am definitely a sourdough bore these days!

 

This one today was particularly good though.

 

So posting one more sour dough picture ...last for a while I promise

This is my room key in Tokyo. I think it's awesome that it's a real key and not a plastic card.

Back Story to this photo. I was walking in a recreational park just after sunrise after a long three day weekend. The area is used for BBQ and party events. This apparent "gift" must have been unwanted by the receiver and left abandoned outside the public bathrooms. I'm sure there are tons of whitty titles for this image just waiting to be shared in the comments....please have at it. ;-) Wayne

... well it certainly blends with it's surroundings.

 

Found near La Honda, California, this afternoon.

The Rosette Nebula is a vast star-forming region, 100 light-years across, that lies at one end of a giant molecular cloud the constellation Monoceros. The nebula is estimated to contain around 10,000 solar masses. The nebula is located about 5,000 light-years away from Earth. Intense radiation from the young stars inside a cluster in the nebula causes the gasses to glow. The background image is from the Digitized Sky Survey, while the inset is a small portion of the nebula as photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope. Dark clouds of hydrogen gas laced with dust are silhouetted across the image. The colours come from the presence of hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.

 

[Image description: A square, ground-based observation of the entire Rosette Nebula. A large, diffuse donut shape primarily composed of light brown and gray gas and dust extends to the edges. Several bright blue stars are at its clearer center. There are innumerable small stars throughout the background, most of which are blue. A tiny box at center-left connects to a zoomed-in image of this region at bottom left from the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble image shows a dark gray V that extends from just below top left all the way down to the lower right corner and back up toward the top right. It looks like thick, irregular smoke. Behind the dark gray on the left side there are arced lines in light orange and yellow. The background at top left is hazier, the blues covered in semi-transparent orange wisps, making a few sections appear green. In the bottom right, the background is bluer. There are a few bright red and purple stars scattered along the right half.]

A Northern Cardinal on Avery Island, Louisiana, near dusk, hence the very soft focus. They must have been the models for angry birds, right?

A little rain cleans the streets, and heaven knows, they need cleaning. You can probably tell which corner of SF I work by the repeat pictures I take.

I dug up my archives and found some old stuff that I had never uploaded to Flickr and his high angle shot of the sky at sunset is one of them. 😃

 

Captured with my PowerShot S95 near a Caltex gas station not far from home.

Spent the day in a hotel conference room yesterday, this is a picture from the lobby. Mel Brookes filmed High Anxiety here, which in turn was a parody on Hitchcock's Vertigo, Birds and some other films. Hard to capture with my cell phone, but the inside is somewhat like an inverted pyramid with the floors directly above me extending further out as they got higher, each with a clear view directly down over empty space. Definitely vertigo inducing.

Sunset, Lake Michigan... All my work is Creative Commons, so it can be used freely with attribution. I'm willing to trade the risk of little stealing (it happens) with the benefit of others getting value from it and mentioning my name (it happens a lot more).

OK this was a wierd experience for both of us.

Playing around yesterday evening, using tree ornaments as prisms.

Wandering around west Main on Christmas day. The Old Western Saloon was open. Prince Charles had a pint here once.

Camped out for an hour or so, looking for the albino jackrabbit once more. It turned up. It has two buddies which would have been much easier to photograph, I wonder does it sense that it contrasts more with its surroundings, it's so much more nervous, last to step forward, first to bolt.

 

Anyway, likely to be my last effort this summer. I don't have time to come back for quite a while. Something a bit magical about seeing it, I can see why so many myths and superstitions surround white offspring of any species, sadly so much being negative and hostile, because of the alleged "demon" eyes. The good news is that it seems to be accepted by the other rabbits in the group.

Spotted this guy looking through the window last night, casing the joint I guess. Please don't comment on the smudgy window.

 

Today is day 133 of Project 365 (Thursday).

the route along the Annacloy river!

Shy exploring one of the Crooked River tributaries yesterday. This is weather, he was made for. Still offline, be back later this week.

These ones are probably long since gone. ..so imagination comes into it.
