Looking across the Isle of Dogs, east to west, towards Canary Wharf.

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.

Valdebebas urban development in the blue hour, Madrid, Spain.

 

Some airplanes light trails in approach to the nearby Madrid-Barajas airport over the buildings.

 

Best viewed large.

 

Wish you a beautiful weekend!

Photo 3 from the Des Moines Series

 

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.”

 

Further development and change of perspective, in life and in creativity is always a gain for yourself and also for the people with whom you are in communication. The photo is a small project in which new ideas were implemented. Thank you for the support and implementation by my friend.

The growth and development of flowers occurs over several weeks from the germination of seeds planted in a ground or container to the time in which flowers bloom. The entire process happens in about five stages for most flowers. Although flower species have varying bloom periods, the general growth and development process is basically the same for all flowers. Moderate variations in the length of time of certain stages may differ by flower species. A Sprout Is Born

The seed begins the germination process during the first five days after being planted. During day 3 of the initial growth and development stage, imbibition begins as the dry seed takes in water from the ground. Next, the root emerges from the seed coat on or about day 4. On day 5, the root begins to extend and develops a root system at one end while a stem forms at the other end. The stem starts the process of making its way upward and eventually past the soil's surface. Hey, Bud

Stage 2 is the stage when a flower's leaves develop. Leaf development usually begins on day 6 and continues to day 26. Leaves begin as tiny rosettes (leaf buds). As the stem begins growing leaves, the development of a flower's primary root structure also culminates usually sometime after day 14. Even though leaf growth does not officially happen until stage 3, the first leaf buds may begin growing after day 18 and continue until day 26. A New Leaf on Life

Leaf growth overlaps slightly between stages 2 and 3 as buds evolve into new leaf growth. But stage 3 officially marks the entire leaf growth period at around day 19. During this stage, all of the leaf buds grow until each one reaches full maturity at about day 29. It's also possible for stage 4 to begin during the latter part (day 26) of the leaf growth stage.

Beginning of the Blossom Day 26 is the day in which most flowers experience inflorescence emergence. In other words, flower buds start appearing on the stem, signifying stage 4 of development. It often occurs toward the end of stage 3 leaf growth; however, it is treated as a separate stage because the period indicates the growth and development exclusively of flowers.

Bloom Times

Stage 5 commences the flower production phase. On approximately day 31, the first flower bud opens. Additional flower buds continue opening throughout a roughly 18-day bloom period until day 49 at which point flower production typically ends.

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 taken at a very low angle focusing on a small plant growing in a hollow in the limestone. Beautiful miniature world.

Set in a gated community amidst nurturing green and the white glory of the pagoda dogwood, this condominium birdhouse development offers luxury apartments and stylish single homes. It is situated in the Children's Garden of Ellyn's LOST GARDEN.

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.

Took some shots at the Ocean reef marina development again. The new reclaimed land for the Marina is starting to be built on. I always find the simplicity of the water, sky and sea wall elements make for striking photos. On this day the clouds were also making an appearance and added further interest. The colours are always amazing here and the water is mostly a silty yellow/green colour which is best seen when I use the polariser to get rid of the glare. In these shots you can see the effects of varying amounts of polarisation.

Said Bear found some ribbon and decided it would look better on him than a jam jar. He likes mauve against green. So do I, so harmony prevails.

Arrested Development live in London

I really do not enjoy the process of taking sunset photos, having to be in the perfect place, at the perfect time is something I have difficulty with - and my lens being incompatible with (sensibly priced) filters doesn't exactly help either, but all in all despite the bitching, I'm pretty happy with how this one came out.

Manaus is a municipality, Amazonas state capital and the main financial center, corporate and economic development of northern Brazil. It is a historical and port city, located in the center of the largest rainforest in the world.12 It is situated at the confluence of the Negro and Solimões.13 rivers is one of the best known Brazilian cities worldwide, mainly by its tourist potential and ecotourism, which It makes the city the tenth largest tourist destination in Brazil.14 It belongs to the middle region of the Amazonian Centre and the homonymous micro-region, and stands out for its architectural and cultural heritage, with remarkable museums, theaters, temples, palaces and libraries. It is located in the far north, the 3490 km of the national capital, Brasília.4

 

It is the most populous city in the Amazon and the Amazon, with a population of 2,020,301 inhabitants, according to estimates by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in 2014.6 At the national level, it stands as the seventh most populous in Brazil, 15 beyond the 131st most populous in the world. It is the seat of the metropolitan region of Manaus, the most populous of the north and the eleventh most populous in Brazil, with 2,360,491 inhabitants, representing 1.22% of the total population brasileira.16 Despite recording one of the largest economies in the country and be one of its most populated cities, Manaus has the worst Human Development Index (HDI) among Brazilian capitals, with 0.737 points, which places it in 23th place among the state capitals of the country, ahead only of other four capitals. In its metropolitan area, the rate is even lower, with 0.720 points, the worst result among the 16 major metropolitan areas brasileiras.17

 

Originally founded in 1669 by the Portuguese with the fort of Sao Jose do Rio Negro, 12 was elevated to the village in 1832 under the name of Manaos, in honor of the indigenous nation of manaós, one being legally transformed into town on October 24, 1848 with the name City of Barra do Rio Negro. Only on September 4, 1856 returned to have his name atual.12 became known in the early twentieth century, the golden age of rubber, attracting foreign investments and immigrants from some parts of the world, especially French. At that time was named as "Amazon Heart" and "Forest City" 12 Currently its main economic engine is the Manaus Free Zone.

 

With the sixth largest economy in Brazil, the city gradually increased its participation in the formation of Brazilian economic sector in recent years, rising to account for 1.4% of the economy brasileira.18 In the ranking of the magazine América Economía, Manaus appears as one of 30 best cities in the line of business in Latin America, 19 ahead of capital from South American countries such as Caracas, Asuncion and Quito.19 was one of the twelve Brazilian host cities for the World Cup 2014.

  

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.

Tucked into the mountains of Iwate Prefecture near the under visited, stunning Sanriku Coast in eastern Japan is the Iwate Development Railway.

 

Established in 1939, the railway operated passenger and limestone transport from its mine in Iwate Ishibashi, to the cement plant at the port city of Ofunato for a total of 11km in length. The line suffered severe damage during the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami. In fact, photos of debris covering the top of this bridge can be found online. The railway was brought back just 8 months after the quake and has been going strong since.

 

Two trains, pulled by DD56 Centercabs, shuttle 18 car limestone trains back and forth from the mine to the cement plant around 12-18 times a day. Here a midday empty train crosses over the Sakari River bridge bound for the mine for another load of rocks.
