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.

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

EXPLORED
I have been taking photographs as a hobby for about 18 months now. I have been registered with flickr for just about a year.
In that time I have been amazed at what tips, tricks and inspiration I have picked up from other photogaphers on flickr.
I am passionate about the quest for a photograph - looking at things differently, trying to compose a great photo from something ordinary; or capturing an unique moment. This gives me a great kick.
When I upload these shots on to my laptop, I have a real buzz when I see what I have captured. Some are not as good as I expected, some are atrocious, but a few are a real treat.
I then really enjoy using Photoshop to crop, enhance, adjust my photo to please my eye. Some people see this as cheating, but I don't see the difference in doing this as opposed to the manipulation that can occur when you develop your own film. Anyway, I really enjoy this creative part of my process.
When I upload to flickr and someone sees it and comments on it, it makes my day.
I do all this to please me, but when it pleases someone else as well - that is the icing on the cake.
Photography is like a drug to me; but I don't want to kick the habit.

the series goes from left to right, capturing the sunset in the west, the streets running north and final capture depicts the east river.

Born Burgess Collins, Jess had worked as an engineer on the Manhattan Project. This multimedia work is part of "Plugged In: Art and Electric Light" currently at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California. My wife and I went there this past Friday for a mental health break while we are not able to return to our home in Altadena due to the Eaton Fire.

I took this shot at the hypocenter of the nuclear blast in Hiroshima, which is the surface location directly below the nuclear explosion.
On Monday, August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m., the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima from the Enola Gay, and detonated approximately 600m directly above this exact spot, immediately killing at least 70,000 and destroying 70% of the city's buildings. In short, with a vanishingly small number of exceptions, anybody standing within 3/4 kilometer of where I was standing ceased to exist instantaneously. Of course the casualty numbers expanded dramatically over the coming days, and indeed months.
Truth be told, I'm not a bleeding heart, and can understand those who rationalize the necessity of this event, as much as those who believe it is an inexcusable horror that should never have happened. It did happen though, and the consequences were real and undeniable, and still can be felt when you stand in a place such as this. If you have the means and opportunity to visit Hiroshima sometime in your life, do.

The rim of this ice-rich crater catches the early morning sunlight in the high northern latitudes of Mars, imaged by the CaSSIS camera onboard ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter on 26 October 2019.
This image features a simple 7 km-wide bowl-shaped crater pictured in the early morning. The sunlight falling on the ice deposits on the crater’s north-facing walls causes the ice to appear extremely bright. Ice fills much of the crater floor, and coats part of the surrounding terrain.
While the image was taken during the summer months, some shadowed regions receive fewer hours of sunlight on average throughout the year, so they trap permanent deposits of water ice.
The image is centred at 230.77ºE/73.95ºN. It was taken on 26 October 2019. The scale is indicated on the image.

Poor night heron trying to get some daylight zzz's, but the Grackles are back, as noisy and boisterous as ever, no wonder he's red-eyed.

The sparkling spiral galaxy gracing this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week is UGC 5460, which sits about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. This image combines four different wavelengths of light to reveal UGC 5460’s central bar of stars, winding spiral arms and bright blue star clusters. Also captured in the upper left-hand corner of this image is a far closer object: a star just 577 light-years away in our own galaxy.
UGC 5460 has hosted two recent supernovae named SN 2011ht and SN 2015as. It’s because of these two stellar explosions that Hubble targeted this galaxy, collecting data for three observing programmes that aim to study various kinds of supernovae.
SN 2015as was what’s known as a core-collapse supernova: a cataclysmic explosion that happens when the core of a star far more massive than the Sun runs out of fuel and collapses under its own gravity, initiating a rebound of material outside the core. Hubble observations of SN 2015as will help researchers understand what happens when the expanding shockwave of a supernova collides with the gas that surrounds the exploded star.
SN 2011ht might have been a core-collapse supernova as well, but it could also be an impostor called a luminous blue variable. Luminous blue variables are rare stars that experience eruptions so large that they can mimic supernovae. Crucially, luminous blue variables emerge from these eruptions unscathed, while stars that go supernova do not. Hubble will search for a stellar survivor at SN 2011ht’s location, and the explosion’s identity may be revealed at last.
[Image Description: A spiral galaxy seen close to face-on. The centre of its disc is a bright, pale yellowish oval shape. Spiral arms extend from either side of the oval through the disc on irregular paths. They are marked throughout by bright bluish-white patches of stars. Distant background galaxies appear as small orangish blobs around the spiral galaxy. In the top-left corner a nearby star shines brightly, spikes radiating from it.]
