This was an idea of my Flickr friend Jim Hill. I already posted two of those images separately and he proposed that it could make a nice triptych if I included a third one with a modern digital look. He saw more in this triptych as well as he noted that the amount of people in the images could stand for the growing accessibility of photography. Kudos to you, Jim!
If you like this triptych, head over to Jim's page and leave him a few likes. If not, head over there all the more and find something you like. His night images from Chicago stand out and are among the most interesting work here on Flickr.
This also concludes my series of images from Corfu. Tomorrow, a series in Frankfurt will start.
Abstracted the forms some, this land soon being developed. Black rock referring to the black lava rock.

Mural on a building side in downtown Des Moines, Iowa
"You can almost hear her gasp!
A blonde woman from a vintage comic strip looks in wide-eyed shock at the graffiti spreading across the wall of a building downtown. ....
Weber ....The artist is known for politically and socially charged artwork along the lines of the current exhibition he guest-curated at Moberg Gallery, which helped arrange the Workspace commission.
But the new mural’s message is more subtle, he said. The blonde woman represents “the overall American consumer” or a “more traditional” Des Moines citizen reacting to downtown’s rapid growth. Partially hidden among the graffiti tags are Dopey from Disney’s “Snow White” and a pair of Smurfs, whose woodland habitat is threatened by development.
“In any city in America, there are murals everywhere. In Oakland, you can’t go two blocks without seeing one,” Weber said, praising downtown Des Moines’ own murals by artists Chris Vance, Van Holmgren and others. “Hopefully, in another year or two, we’ll have twice as many.”
Founded in 1597 the state expedition Vasily Golovin and Ivan Voeikov as a fort to protect one of the most popular waterways in Siberia. In 1600, was set up customs, and walked through the city all the Siberian products. Construction of other roads were forbidden. The city was badly damaged by fire in 1674 and 1738 years, and its development has slowed.
After the 1917 revolution in first the Bolsheviks took power, and from September 1918 to July 1919 Verkhoturye was controlled by the army of Kolchak. In 1926 Verkhoturye lost city status, which he returned only in 1947, in connection with the 350th anniversary of its founding.
Verkhoturye is both the oldest and the most numerically small town in the Sverdlovsk region.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Park Hill Road Bridge (2002), formally known as the Queen Street Bridge (1933), was one of the three bridges credited with contributing to the development of early Galt. The bridge was reconstructed and widened to four lanes in 2002 retaining much of the original appearance.
*Working Towards a Better World
Peace is the marriage of the people and the planet, with all attendant vows. - Anonymous
Peace comes from being able to contribute the best that we have, and all that we are, toward creating a world that supports everyone. But it is also securing the space for others to contribute the best that they have and all that they are. - Hafsat Abiola
In some ways, the challenges are even more daunting than they were at the peak of the cold war. Not only do we continue to face grave nuclear threats, but those threats are being compounded by new weapons developments, new violence within States and new challenges to the rule of law. -
Kofi Annan
There is no time left for anything but to make peacework a dimension of our every waking activity. - Elise Boulding
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding. - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
It's that time of the year again. Hiawatha #336 arrives Chicago behind the class Amtrak B32-8WH which is subbing for a Charger that shit out a few days prior. The searchlight installations at the east end of Morgan Street were installed in the early 1980s.
Real estate development has exploded in the West Loop over the past decade. The Fulton Labs on the right were completed last year, and 345 N. Morgan on the left was completed a few months ago (still under construction when this picture was taken). The latter was built by Sterling Bay which is also overseeing the redevelopment of the former ADM flour mill. What you see here is only a fraction of what's to come to the West Loop in the next few years.
Here comes Mycena Crocata in different stages of development.

I came across this little pocket of "bush" at the ocean reef marina redevelopment. This little gem lies beside the path I skateboard on and is just inside the fence of the development site. It will not remain there much longer as the bulldozers are already clearing this area of the dunes. Ive made a few trips over the fence to capture this magical scene. The canopy is only about 2 m off the ground and beneath it there are open passages which you can crawl under and provide protection for little birds and mammals. the ground is Limestone covered in soil and moss. I took my macro lense in there and got some wonderful shots of this area. If you sit long enough you can see all the insects crawling and flying around. It is a magical little world and very therapeutic to lie there watching. The shame is it wont be there for much longer. I will miss this lovely place when its gone. This is a shot of some of the protruding limestone and the moss beds growing around it.
again some older shots...These grain elevators are still standing tall, only the red one changed into an ugly greenish color. I like how the red one stands out. This scene is not "available" anymore as loads of development is changing the view. I guess this "photo-spot" is now a home for someone 😄

There is so much development that finding puddles can be challenging, but fun to photograph.

...as in I'm pretty sure being upside down is good for their brain development. Don't quote me on that though. Unbelievably this is my fifth explore in 5 days!!!!!
There are now five Sandhill Cranes at Bombay Hook NWR, DE.
Two had taken up permanent residence at BH and now three have joined them. So at least for now, there is one juvenile and four older ones. The three newbies may have relocated from 1,000 Acre Marsh in New Castle (DE), a bit farther north.
Yesterday morning our local Swifts were flying over the garden so I went out with my camera for some target practice. This wasn't my best photo of the session, but a Swift feeding is something I've been trying to photograph for ages. They fly around catching flying insects which they store in their crop to take back to the nest. They can catch up to a thousand insects before returning to feed the chicks. David Lack who studied Swifts nesting in a tower at Oxford University counted 312 different species of insect and spider in these bug balls, and found that typically they contain 3-500 insects. Because winged insect food is so variable and unpredictable the youngsters can go into a kind of torpor, dropping their body temperature and arresting their development, then resuming to normal development when the insects start to reappear. They probably hunt at about 25 mph but even at this speed they can differentiate between insects. One swift was found to have caught several stingless drone honeybees but neatly avoided all of the stinging females. It is thought that each Swift may catch 10,000 insects in a day, which makes it surprising that this is the first time I have managed to photograph one feeding.
Portreath, mid-way between Perranporth and St Ives on the north coast of Cornwall, was one of Cornwall's earliest industrial ports. The building of the harbour in 1760 was the result of the development of copper mining in the early 1700s. It was uneconomic to smelt copper in Cornwall so the ore was taken to South Wales where there was a plentiful supply of coal. By 1800 there was a need to expand the port so that increased quantities of Welsh steam coal could be imported to fuel the steam engines at the nearby mines. A local tramway was built to connect the port to them. By 1827 Portreath was being described as Cornwall's most important port. The copper industry peaked in 1840 when 100,000 tons of ore were shipped to South Wales.
But by the late 1860s copper production was slumping and Portreath then relied primarily on the coal traffic. It continued as a reasonably important port, but the advent of the railways and better roads eventually led to its decline. By the 1960s the port had virtually ceased to trade and it is now surrounded by modern housing. I suspect most residents are blissfully unaware of its rich history.

Past observations of 33499: production - development
I’ve been thinking recently that there is something missing from flickr, (well something that I haven’t found yet). A kind of place (group) that has the ability to inspire, to welcome experimentation, a place that has a lot more depth than the usual shallow resting place for hundreds of images. I want equality, a place that isn’t run by power obsessed admin's, a place that isn’t a all closed network of buddies, a place that welcomes true thought, true learning, true experimentation. I want to visit to contribute, to experiment, to crit others work, to have a balanced group of people that respect others values. I want a place that doesn’t have any irritating insecure people trying to tell you how good they are. Yes I'm wanting a lot and I do get these things from different groups (id say about 3 or 4 that I visit regularly) but I want them all in one place.
To be honest, I would like to cherry pick the people I value (for many reasons) and get them together and create a new group that would be fantastic. But I also don’t want to upset anybody…and god not another group, please no not more groups.
I also have been wondering if there isn’t a better way of developing ideas, sparking inspiration. For me I would love to get more involved in a discussion-based group concerning the ideas behind photography. Kind of the deeper physiological elements to why we take photos, what the viewer feels, presenting challenging concepts, blar blar blar. I feel that to push in these directions is fascinating. As some of you may have observed, I've been trying to get this type of thing going in the threads of some groups, but it doest seem to be working. What I'm asking here I suppose is does anybody know of any groups that offer this type of thing or do I have to set one up, or do I try and push one of the groups I'm involved in into this direction? Also I wonder if there is any others out there, who are committed enough and have the desire to challenge them selves, push themselves in different directions. I only know of a few people here on flicker that I ‘Guess’ would welcome this type of direction but id truly love to meet more. This isn’t about just image quality (that is a given) its about ideas, experimentation, forging new ground (if that’s possible)
Anyway, any thoughts out there?
Note: this is taken on Constantine beach at sunset this summer. I got down very low and used a polarizer to maintain the foreground leading lines. Anyway I hope you like it.

Excerpt from www.chch.com/chch-news/artists-create-what-could-be-canad...:
A group of artists have begun working towards creating what they say will be the largest mural in Canada.
The canvas is an iconic Hamilton building that is currently in development limbo.
That iconic building is Hamilton city centre on James Street and York Boulevard in the heart of the city’s downtown core.
The building was closed back in 2022 with a goal of turning it into a condo but that project was paused. With no solid timeline for that project to start back up again, the artists say the developers let them use it as a canvas.
“It’s kind of dismal looking with everything kind of shuttered… so we’re putting lipstick on a pig, but we’re just trying to make the best of a bad situation,” says Scott McDonald.
As the developers of Hamilton city centre wait for the real estate market to improve before turning it into condos, local artist Scott McDonald and dozens of other artists are giving it a facelift.
“For this weekend we have over 60 artists from around 16 different countries. They’re all kind of doing their own thing, it’s a combination of graffiti, street art, and just fine art,” McDonald says.
“It’s exciting and intimidating at the same time, you’re surrounded by world class talent, and it’s just an honour to be here and it’s inspirational to be honest,” Shipman says.
And steps away from Shipman’s, Shalak Attack’s piece will have a message.
“It’s gonna be kind of a spider woman with a nature girl beside her. We’re in the concrete jungle so I’m trying to remind people that we are still connected to nature in some way,” Shalak Attack says.
Around the corner, Christopher Bennett is going full realism.
“My roots is graffiti writing, so doing typical lettering but with this I wanted to do something special, something a little bit more,” Bennett says.
“You have to be of a certain stature, a quality that you bring, so to be a part of it is wonderful.”
Before the artists could actually come out and get to work, the entire building had to be painted black.
“So it was 250 gallons, imagine about three skids of five-gallon pales. So, there’s 16 on a skid, 48 pales or something like that. It’s a ton of paint,” Sherwin Williams told CHCH News.
“47-thousand square feet. me and about four other friends helped, sometimes it was just me… my arms are dying right now,” Scott McDonald says.
McDonald says the nearly 6 figure art project is all worth it and made possible by multiple donors and supporters like Sherwin Williams, Molotow Spray Paint Company and others.
“Thanks to everybody who has believed in my crazy vision and it’s happening,” McDonald says.
“When you have all these creative people working in the same space, that energy is just intoxicating, it’s awesome.”
Now there is of course a lot more work to do before this could be Canada’s largest mural. Artists will be here throughout the weekend.
