I hope you like, and as usual... to see LARGE on black.
Strobist info: two lights, one in the background on the right cam with a blue gel and another one above the cup with 1/2 CTO gel.

Photo 17/31 October Picture a Day
I went to look for the Atlas comet this evening but no luck. The sky was generally quite clear but some clouds where the comet might have been. So a shot from earlier in the day when I went on a fungi hunt. This may be the Blistered Cup Fungus or the rarer Polydesnia Pruinosa, but I don't know really.
Haven't been posting for awhile---as my Mom would say, "When it rains, it pours".
I'm waiting for a new camera (Canon EOS 7D Mark II) to arrive this week and while I'm excited about it, I do miss my old Canon, my old buddy, my old friend.
Additionally, my 8-year-old Mac is at the end of its life and is not cooperating much anymore.
And I fell again.
All overshadowed by the fact that I have a new granddaughter!!!
Life goes on.

Ardrossan near Brodick on the Isle of Arran.
Late Neolithic / bronze age.
Whilst the style differs from the Galloway cups and rings further south east, and the northern England cup and ring petroglyphs, the dialogue of cups interfaced with circles and canals (tails) is recognizable between the sites, and indeed carries on with relations carved as far away as Galice in Spain (see below). This photo is part of a wider monolithic outcrop with a variety of carvings. There is no question that the rock does anything other than descend deep into the ground. This is worth noting as, recently, a Scottish boulder with cup and ring marks was turned to reveal more cup and ring marks on its hidden surface. This discovery rightly made it into the UK national press who were able to say that nobody really understood what the meaning of the marks was, before opening the window to the crass idea that they might be shepherd's doodles! A shepherd can doodle onto leather, or with charcoal onto rock or wood. Everyone has the right to doodle. The effort required to then peck and scratch out his doodle for all time into a petroglyph is great and requires the motivation and tools to push for an idea that is high on meaning and social connection. Doodles are neither.

I was lucky enough to catch the World Cup Snow Cross event at Blue Mountain in 2019. Brady Lemon took the gold. I call this one Triumph.
The last couple of years has not been kind to old school dining establishments on Rt 22 outside of Phillipsburg, New Jersey. The Key City and Catch 22 diners caught on fire with only the former reopening for good. And then there's Toby's Cup, which is just a few blocks west of the Key City Diner.
Toby's started out eighty years ago as a hot dog cart in Phillipsburg but has been in this little shack for decades. It closed permanently in 2022. The property, which is actually three parcels and several buildings, listed for $859K in June 2023 and was sold at auction to a "Jersey Shore hot dog baron" for $500K in January 2024. That link says the new owner has plans to revitalize the place but there were no signs of work having been done when I stopped there on Saturday.
This photo is something of an optical illusion; both because the cup is gigantic and because that hamster is obese. It's also - improbably enough - the second time I've photographed one of my mum's pets in a giant teacup.

Tonight I'm procrastinating. Playing around when I shouldn't be!
No new pics - just playing with old ones!
Thanks to les brumes for the lovely textures! Try it on black
