Happy Mono Monday!
These shots were taken from Point of View on Mt. Washington, above Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When Washington and Guyasuta met there was no Pittsburgh as it looks today from Point of View.
Point of View is a 2006 landmark public sculpture in bronze by James A. West; it sits in a parklet named for the work of art, Point of View Park, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The piece depicts George Washington and the Seneca leader Guyasuta, with their weapons down, in a face-to-face meeting in October 1770, when the two men met while Washington was in the area examining land for future settlement along the Ohio River.
The work weighs 750 lbs. and cost $130,000 for materials with charitable donations of land, pedestal and artist time.[1]
Point of View sits on the edge of Mt. Washington (Grandview Avenue at Sweetbriar Street) on the westernmost end of Grand View Scenic Byway Park and the Grand View Scenic Byway, a designated Pennsylvania scenic byway.
I went outside and found the ugliest dying weed we have and photographed it from the top down. I used our colorful groundcover as a backdrop, and took the whole thing into TS. Tada! Now the ugly old thing looks kinda spiffy.
(I think the name of this ugly plant is - "Labrador Lousewort." It even has an ugly name to go with it. LOL)
The idea for this abstract nature image formed while manipulating another image posted earlier today (spider www.flickr.com/photos/vivid_dreams/37443059864/in/datepos...). This is a small cropped section from the lower center right of the image.
The cropped image was rotated 180 degrees, converted to monochrome which was then inverted to the negative look, pushed the contrast for better blacks and cleaned up any white spots.
African green mamba...
Having some digital fun with stock images. The shot of the green mamba was taken in Jan 2014 during a reptile exhibit at the RBG.
Merrin really liked those wings, so this is for my beautiful best friend and wife!
I had questions about the display on the opera house.
So just a bit of information about this lightshow, it is a 15 min. looping cycle of moving pictures, a bit like a movie projected onto the sails.
This is what makes it so tricky to get a decent shot of it, exposures can't be longer than half a second anything longer gets blurry. Not your normal long exposure!
Vivid Sydney will continue for another 2 weeks

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

This beautiful old church is in the tiny village of Copper Center, Alaska. I think that the log construction is very interesting, from the foundation; to the old wooden cross on the top of the steeple.
By mid-September Doc and I remove our truck camper from the truck - winterize it - and put it under cover. Once that is done, it is time to put the two utility boxes back into the bed of the truck. Those boxes are heavy and bulky, and I worry about him wrestling them into place, with out smashing his fingers - but somehow he manages. How many other eighty six year old men do you know that could tackle those chores all alone?

Until this summer - I had never heard of, or enjoyed, a fruit called "Donut Peaches". When the "fruit man" arrived in town this summer - he handed out samples of this delightful peach - and now I am hooked. I find them to be sweeter and juicier than a regular peach, and I can't wait to get my hands on some more.
**(Donut peaches are distinguished by their shape, which is roughly rounded and squat with a dimpled center at the fruit's stem end. The fruit's skin has a velvety finish and is flushed with tones of ivory, rose and rouge. Within the fruit's core is its non-clinging, easy to remove pit. Its creamy, juicy-when-ripe flesh is low-acid with a candy-like sweetness and a melting quality. The sweetness is due to what is referred to as the honey gene, a dominant gene that is found in all Chinese peach varieties. Documentation of peaches was first recorded in Chinese writings during 1100 B.C.)
... the overpowering sense of isolation felt and needed when faced with the loss of a loved one.
The silhouette is from an image dating back to 2015 of someone alone at the edge of a pier shrouded in fog and whom later on I found out she was grieving the sudden loss of a close friend.
As with all my work, all images used are my own.
The hardy people that choose to live in bush Alaska often have to become like MacGyver, and at any given moment, jerry-rig anything that has broken. That is the reason you see a lot of what the average person would call "junk" - laying around outside of a remote cabin or home. You can't just jump in a car and go to the local hardware store, as it may be a couple of hundred miles away. (As it is in the case of this homesteader.)
On the other hand - what do you do with an old car or large home appliance that has quit working when you live off grid? There are a lot of puzzles like the ones I have mentioned, that have to be solved when living remotely. What would you do?
*(Notice the old truck parked down in the right hand corner of the photo? Old vehicles always capture my attention.)
