First post with my Christmas present, a Laowa CF 65mm F2.8 CA-Dreamer Macro 2X prime lens. Perfectly sharp from close focus 2:1 super-macro to infinity. Macros to follow, one expects. Maybe portraits as well. The catch is that it's fully manual--no electronic communication with the camera at all. Fortunately, I have gotten pretty comfortable with manual exposure and focus after almost 10 months of practice with the X-S10, which makes it easy.

1 Peter 1:14 “Like obedient children, do not comply with the evil urges you used to follow in your ignorance.”
University of Washington researchers wanted preschool teachers to wear cameras in the classroom. These cameras would record everything, including the children. They wanted to use the footage for developing AI models.
Teachers are helping train AI, so that AI can replace them. C’mon teachers! Are you really that dumb?
Shocker: Microsoft and OpenAI have donated millions of dollars to teachers unions for AI training.
They are destroying the education system, so that they have an excuse to bring AI into the classrooms. Ya, because that’s not dystopian. Their dialectic: problem, reaction, solution. At this point, it’s way too obvious!

Water hyacinth can, in a sense, be called a paradox. On one hand it is unwanted, on the other it is part of nature. Yet the water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is not native to this soil. Its journey begins in the Amazon basin of South America. It is said that during the colonial era, someone brought it to this subcontinent for its ornamental beauty. And it never left. Today it spreads across the wetlands, canals, beels, rivers, and haors of Bangladesh like an occupier — sometimes blocking waterways, sometimes cutting off light, sometimes etching worry lines on the foreheads of fishermen and farmers. Environmentalists call it one of the most harmful aquatic weeds in the world. In Bangladesh its name is kochuripana — a name spoken with far more irritation than affection.
And yet.
In the soft light of the monsoon, the water hyacinth blooms. And that blooming — extraordinary. Clusters of flowers ranging from pale violet to lavender. Each petal holds a golden eye, standing like small torches above the dark, glossy green leaves. Seen from a little distance, the individual plant disappears. What remains is only a sea swaying in waves of purple and green.
This photograph is of that moment. In the shallow focus, the edges melt into an impressionist haze, while at the very centre, sharp in focus, stand a few flowers — dignified and luminous. Completely indifferent to their own reputation.
Water hyacinth is a dialectical presence in our wetlands. It covers the water, yet it also purifies. It absorbs heavy metals from polluted water. It blocks waterways, yet shelters small fish and aquatic insects. In recent years, artisans and entrepreneurs have been crafting baskets, bags, and furniture from its dried stalks — transforming an environmental problem into a livelihood.
What we call foreign, invasive, or unwanted — its own beauty perhaps does not catch the eye easily. Yet sometimes the most neglected thing holds within it the most beautiful scene.

Manarola is another lovely town along the northern coast Italy. Just wonderful views everywhere.
Manarola (Manaea in the local dialect) is a small town, a frazione of the comune (municipality) of Riomaggiore, in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy. It is the second smallest of the famous Cinque Terre towns frequented by tourists.
Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name "Manarola" is probably dialectical evolution of the Latin, "magna rota". In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to "magna roea" which means "large wheel", in reference to the mill wheel in the town.
Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. The local wine, called Sciacchetrà, is especially renowned; references from Roman writings mention the high quality of the wine produced in the region. In recent years, Manarola and its neighboring towns have become popular tourist destinations, particularly in the summer months.
Tourist attractions in the region include a famous walking trail between Manarola and Riomaggiore (called Via dell'Amore, "Love's Trail") and hiking trails in the hills and vineyards above the town. Manarola is one of the five villages. Mostly all of the houses are bright and colourful. Manarola was celebrated in paintings by Antonio Discovolo (1874-1956).

I am going to sound like a bossy teacher but this image is well worth looking at for a second. It is extremely unusual, a thirteenth century stained glass window that is not religious but celebrates the achievements of the arts and science . The rose window is the North transept of Laon Cathedral in Northern France . Laon is a fascinating town with a marvellous cathedral we always used to stay in the town on our way south but I think most people just drive by it on their way to Reims
The glass in the nine openings of the rose window is early 13th century and the earliest remaining in the cathedral. The window contains scenes representing the sciences as understood and practiced in the thirteenth century - the trivium and the quadrivium - the sciences and the liberal arts.
Philosophy in the centre with her head in the clouds , then going clockwise from twelve o’clock 1 Rhetoric writing on a tablet on her knees; 2 Grammar, with the rods with which she threatens the little children seated at her feet; 3 Dialectic; 4 Astronomy holding a bushel; 5 Mathematics ; 6 Medicine; 7 Geometry and finally Music.
Anyway sorry for the lesson but in my opinion its remarkable window as far as I know unique
The shot was hand held at a fairly high ISO it would have been clearer with a tripod
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
First of a B&W urban series on homelessness in Seattle. Prominently visible from the breakfast room at my hotel, but I went down to the street for a better angle.
One could pursue this theme in any American city. I don’t claim that the series is in any way definitive or systematic. I just shot some of what I saw walking through generally prosperous commercial and residential neighborhoods on the north side of downtown. Homelessness in America used to be a mental health problem. That hasn’t been fixed—some of it will show up in this series—but now there is also “economic homelessness”. Due to limited availability, in many places those with a median income can not afford median housing costs. The problem predates Covid.
For the Brits: “median” is American for “central reservation”, the green belt separating traffic on multi-lane roads.
Happy Mono Monday, anyway!

Original title “Working Girl” was inappropriate. Looked back at all my photos that year and asked myself what I liked best, and why. This is the type photo for a core theme—images resolving contradictions. In this case, order and chaos, as the woman cleans the window of a clock shop with a perfectly horizontal squeegee stroke in a sea of bubbles. Love her contemplative expression, and the clutter of urban reflections superimposed on the orderly interior of a Viennese clock seller.

NASA Infrared Telescope Facility, and the island of Maui, from a secondary peak on Mauna Kea, the highest point in the Pacific.
Maui, of course, is very cool. The IRTF is chilled below 4ºK with liquid Helium to capture infrared images uncontaminated by thermal noise. The telescope is not quite the coldest place in the Universe, which includes vast regions of intergalactic space at 3ºK due to the Cosmic Microwave Background, and a lab at MIT that uses sophisticated techniques to get down to a small fraction of 1ºK, Still, very cool. And, sitting on top of the the geologic hotspot that forms the Big Island of Hawaii at an altitude of 14,000ft is also just about the coolest place one can be on Earth, even without the snow and the bone-chilling air.
The 13 observatories on Mauna Kea, each funded by multi-national consortia, offer research time to astronomers from all over the world. The absolute peak of the mountain is reserved as a sacred space for indigenous people.

A fable of 3 cultures:
Mammon, Buddha, and Jesus walk into Greybeard’s Bar & Grill.
Mammon offers keen interest in return for exclusive service, orders a Manhattan, and gulps it down in a New York minute. He gets up to go, calling over his shoulder, “Have another meeting. Been real.”
The proprietor watches wealth slip away, and wonders silently what Buddha will desire.
Buddha—having no preference—has by now occupied every seat at the bar. He smiles, “If it’s all the same to you, practice detachment from a veggie burger. Please make me one with everything.”
Having set those wheels in motion, Greybeard finds Jesus—seated in a booth, ordering through the screen: one Godfather, on a rock; one shot of Everclear, straight up; a carafe of tap water, and a wine glass.
The old gent lifts an eyebrow. “You want ice in that carafe, Son?”
Jesus replies, “No, thanks—it just dilutes the Chianti.”

Tiger and Turtle nimmt über die in ihm angelegte Dialektik von Geschwindigkeit und Stillstand Bezug auf die Umbruchsituation in der Region und deren Wandel durch Rückbau und Umstrukturierung. Indem die Skulptur die dem Bild der Achterbahn anhaftenden Erwartungen ad absurdum führt, reflektiert sie ihre eigene Rolle als potentielles überregionales Wahrzeichen, welches zwangsläufig als Bild vereinnahmt wird. Sie stellt der Logik des ewigen Wachstums eine absurd‐widersprüchliche Struktur entgegen, die sich einer eindeutigen Interpretation widersetzt.“

Tiger and Turtle, through the dialectic of speed and stillness, is referring to the upheaval situation in the region and its change through dismantling and restructuring. By sculpturing the absurdity of the image of the roller coaster, the sculpture reflects its own role as a potential supraregional landmark, which is inevitably taken as an image. It counteracts the logic of eternal growth with an absurdly contradictory structure that opposes a clear interpretation. "

Excerpt from the plaque:
Chimera by Denys Horodnyak and Enzo Zak Lux
Chimera engages with the notion of mirage through a twofold perspective. On a material level, it offers a direct, tangible interpretation of illusion, employing fisheye mirrors as aesthetic modules that distort perception. On a sensory and conceptual level, it serves as a dialectical reflection on the fragmentation of physical and digital realities, exposing the delicate imbalance between control and security – two cornerstones that define modernity.
From a distance, the installation blends seamlessly with its surroundings, dissolving into space through a cascade of mirrored repetitions. Moving closer – the illusion unravels, revealing the framework that sustains it. In this encounter, the viewer meets their own reflection multiplied and displaced, a shifting constellation of selves that provokes an uneasy awareness of being observed. The viewing platform becomes a t4emporary sanctuary – a cocoon of quiet detachment – from which the gaze can wander freely into the open expanse beyond.

I've seen similar photos of Manarola here on Flickr, and was so taken by the locale that I planned a vacation around it. Don't think I'm adding anything new over other great photos here, but I knew I had to capture this.

Inaugurated in 2009, the gallery is home to De Lama Lâmina (2009), the latest development in Matthew Barney's project in partnership with musician Arto Lindsay, which took place at the Salvador carnival in 2004. Made especially for the Inhotim Institute, the installation reaffirms the artist's interest in mythological narratives, finding in Afro-Brazilian syncretism a fertile field for exploring the dialectical nature of things.
Inside the steel and glass geodesic dome, located in the woods away from the centre of the park, is the tractor that supports a tree, used in the performance in Bahia. The piece highlights Barney's environmental concern and the possibility of reading the work in the field of ecology.

Scale, noun, relative size. From Latin scala, ladder. Sometimes hard to judge in viewing and/or photographing landscapes. For example, this is a portion of the East wall of Glen Canyon, immediately downstream from the dam. The ladder at right apparently offers safe passage for a broad-shouldered man from the path with handrails at top right down to what appears to be a narrow ledge leading left to a cement block with a railing on top. Obviously functional, but completely mysterious to me. An example of Nature and Culture in close contact, neither making any concession to the other.

Ruff - Calidris pugnax
The ruff (Calidris pugnax) is a medium-sized wading bird that breeds in marshes and wet meadows across northern Eurasia. This highly gregarious sandpiper is migratory and sometimes forms huge flocks in its winter grounds, which include southern and western Europe, Africa, southern Asia and Australia.
Three differently plumaged types of male, including a rare form that mimics the female, use a variety of strategies to obtain mating opportunities at a lek, and the colourful head and neck feathers are erected as part of the elaborate main courting display.
The original English name for this bird, dating back to at least 1465, is the ree, perhaps derived from a dialectical term meaning "frenzied"; a later name reeve, which is still used for the female, is of unknown origin, but may be derived from the shire-reeve, a feudal officer, likening the male's flamboyant plumage to the official's robes. The current name was first recorded in 1634, and is derived from the ruff, an exaggerated collar fashionable from the mid-sixteenth century to the mid-seventeenth century, since the male bird's neck ornamental feathers resemble the neck-wear.
Typical adult male ruffs start to moult into the main display plumage before their return to the breeding areas, and the proportion of birds with head and neck decorations gradually increases through the spring. Second-year birds lag behind full adults in developing breeding plumage. They have a lower body mass and a slower weight increase than full adults, and perhaps the demands made on their energy reserves during the migration flight are the main reason of the delayed moult.
Ruffs of both sexes have an additional moult stage between the winter and final summer plumages, a phenomenon also seen in the bar-tailed godwit. Before developing the full display finery with coloured ruff and tufts, the males replace part of their winter plumage with striped feathers. Females also develop a mix of winter and striped feathers before reaching their summer appearance. The final male breeding plumage results from the replacement of both winter and striped feathers, but the female retains the striped feathers and replaces only the winter feathers to reach her summer plumage.
The ruff is a migratory species, breeding in wetlands in colder regions of northern Eurasia, and spends the northern winter in the tropics, mainly in Africa. Some Siberian breeders undertake an annual round trip of up to 30,000 km (19,000 mi) to the West African wintering grounds.
Ruffs were formerly trapped for food in England in large numbers; on one occasion, 2,400 were served at Archbishop Neville's enthronement banquet in 1465. The birds were netted while lekking, sometimes being fattened with bread, milk and seed in holding pens before preparation for the table.
The heavy toll on breeding birds, together with loss of habitat through drainage and collection by nineteenth-century trophy hunters and egg collectors, meant that the species became almost extinct in England by the 1880s, although recolonisation in small numbers has occurred since 1963.
The draining of wetlands from the 1800s onwards in southern Sweden has resulted in the ruff's disappearance from many areas there, although it remains common in the north of the country.
The use of insecticides and draining of wetlands has led to a decrease in the number of ruff in Denmark since the early 1900s.
There are still areas where the ruff and other wetland birds are hunted legally or otherwise for food. A large-scale example is the capture of more than one million waterbirds (including ruffs) in a single year from Lake Chilwa in Malawi.

Manarola (Manaea in the local dialect) is a small town, a frazione of the comune (municipality) of Riomaggiore, in the province of La Spezia, Liguria, northern Italy. It is the second smallest of the famous Cinque Terre towns frequented by tourists.
Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name "Manarola" is probably dialectical evolution of the Latin, "magna rota". In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to "magna roea" which means "large wheel", in reference to the mill wheel in the town [1].
Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. The local wine, called Sciacchetrà, is especially renowned; references from Roman writings mention the high quality of the wine produced in the region. In recent years, Manarola and its neighboring towns have become popular tourist destinations, particularly in the summer months. Tourist attractions in the region include a famous walking trail between Manarola and Riomaggiore (called Via dell'Amore, "Love's Trail") and hiking trails in the hills and vineyards above the town. Manarola is one of the five villages. Mostly all of the houses are bright and colourful.

I toasted my computer making this video. I am currently posting this from a Linux computer. I won’t be able to do much in the next while.
Many are the brainwashed, many are the sheep
Many are the zombies, many are asleep
Their socialist traditions are full of conceit
Their detestable religion of Marxism is on the creep
It attacks the brain like an antichrist parasite
It hides in the mind of the host; it has won the fight
Yes, the devil is in the details of the dialectic
darkness fills their soul; they are helpless, so pathetic
Many bow to the system; they will bow to the Beast
Many will take the Mark of their great high priest
Their spiritual contagion is full of deceit
They love their wicked ways, what they sow they will reap
It’s a mind virus, it holds them captive in its chains
Dawn of the living dead; they embrace their sin and stains
They adore the Image of the Beast in their romance
Nanobots flooding their veins; they are in a trance
Come for the ride, the world’s getting hazy
You cannot hide, the herd’s getting crazy
You must fight, be strong and steady
As prophesied, it’s going to get deadly
False peace, a rider on a white horse
Violence, a rider on a red horse
Famine, a rider on a black horse
Death and hell, riding on a pale horse
she'd really unroll really slowly
listening to what was pulling her forward.
her insights were a child-like dialectic
internalized in the interstices of the now
and the not-yet. bound.
unbound earthbound. playing
in the stratosphere her poetry
capturing the small slivers of beauty
knot with the one who softens the heart
never cleaves to the abstract, to unmusical
beyond boundaries, the home
holding space; a space of kinship
when i think of you. my trail begins
