Single frames with this lens are actually quite good but pushing the boundaries of what cheap lenses can do....there is significant 'moustache' distortion in a panorama this wide....it took me forever to repair all the issues. Ah well even with that it is still one of my favourite lenses to use as it has basically all my most used focal lengths in a single lens that is smaller than you'd expect❤

#FlickrFriday #black
My form of protest is to *not* participate in “Black Friday”. Large corporations and big box stores will not get my patronage. When I was still teaching (not yet retired from teaching), I used to go to small specialty shops and buy my coworkers ornaments for their trees or trinkets.
i trofei si intrecciavano formando una W - sorridevo pensando ad un saluto ☺️

Mono Lake is a saline soda lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in an endorheic basin. The lack of an outlet causes high levels of salts to accumulate in the lake and make its water alkaline.
The desert lake has an unusually-productive ecosystem based on brine shrimp, which thrive in its waters, and provides critical habitat for two million annual migratory birds that feed on the shrimp and alkali flies.
Mono Lake occupies part of the Mono Basin, an endorheic basin that has no outlet to the ocean. Dissolved salts in the runoff thus remain in the lake and raise the water's pH levels and salt concentration.
The basin was formed by geological forces over the last five million years: basin and range crustal stretching and associated volcanism and faulting at the base of the Sierra Nevada. Five million years ago, the Sierra Nevada was an eroded set of rolling hills and Mono Basin and Owens Valley did not yet exist.
From 4.5 to 2.6 million years ago, large volumes of basalt were extruded around what is now Cowtrack Mountain (east and south of Mono Basin); eventually covering 300 square miles (780 km2) and reaching a maximum thickness of 600 feet (180 m). Later volcanism in the area occurred 3.8 million to 250,000 years ago. This activity was northwest of Mono Basin and included the formation of Aurora Crater, Beauty Peak, Cedar Hill (later an island in the highest stands of Mono Lake), and Mount Hicks.
Mono Lake is believed to have formed at least 760,000 years ago, dating back to the Long Valley eruption. Sediments located below the ash layer hint that Mono Lake could be a remnant of a larger and older lake that once covered a large part of Nevada and Utah, which would put it among the oldest lakes in North America. At its height during the most recent ice age, the lake would have been about 900 feet (270 m) deep. Prominent old shore lines, called strandlines by geologists, can be seen west of the Lake.
Currently, Mono Lake is in a geologically active area at the north end of the Mono–Inyo Craters volcanic chain and is close to Long Valley Caldera. Volcanic activity continues in the Mono Lake vicinity: the most recent eruption occurred 350 years ago, resulting in the formation of Paoha Island. Panum Crater (on the south shore of the lake) is an example of a combined rhyolite dome and cinder cone.
Many columns of limestone rise above the surface of Mono Lake. These limestone towers consist primarily of calcium carbonate minerals such as calcite (CaCO3). This type of limestone rock is referred to as tufa, which is a term used for limestone that forms in low to moderate temperatures.

Mono Lake is believed to have formed at least 760,000 years ago, dating back to the Long Valley eruption. Sediments located below the ash layer hint that Mono Lake could be a remnant of a larger and older lake that once covered a large part of Nevada and Utah, making it among the oldest lakes in North America.
Mono Lake is a terminal lake in a watershed fed from melting runoff with no outlet. Dissolved salts in the runoff thus remain in the lake and raise the pH and the salt concentration.
Mono Lake is in a geologically active area at the north end of the Mono-Inyo Crater volcanic chain of the Long Valley Caldera. The geological activity is caused by faulting at the base of the Sierra Nevada, and is associated with the crustal stretching of the Basin and Range Province.
Volcanic activity continues in the Mono Lake vicinity: the most recent eruption occurred 250 years ago at Negit Island in Mono Lake. Panum Crater (on the south shore of the lake) is an excellent example of a combined rhyolite dome and cinder cone.

Qatari Diar Pavilion
Design: The Design Avenue
Event Hosted By: Cairo Design Week
The pavilion abstracts the idea of a city in constant evolution. A series of rising architectural fins form a fragmented skyline, while mirrored interiors distort the surroundings, turning the visitor and the city into part of the architecture. The textured base echoes everyday cultural artifacts, blending heritage with contemporary form. The result is a spatial metaphor for how modern urbanism emerges from layers of memory, context, and reflection.

Scotrail Inter7City set formed of 43143 & 43179 slow for the crossing into the bi-directional Up & Down platform at Kingussie on 4th July 2025 with 1T88 1450 Inverness to Glasgow Queen Street. When I was here last time I didn't get a shot of what, from a distance appears to be a bracketed gantry on the north side of the station - only when close did I see it was two separate signals!
Not sure how long the 25 short HST sets have to go in Scotland - rumour is they'll be phased out over the next year or two, no doubt replaced by some inferior riding Japanese or Spanish tat!
Ice that had formed in a meandering stream and 'copied' the shape of the stream in its folds. Sometimes its almost as if the 'ideas' of forms and shapes exist before those forms become manifest in nature and preceed even the physical forces that eventually reveal them
STEAM INCORPORATED
Formed fifty years ago in 1972 Steam Incorporated is based at Paekakariki on the Kapiti coast near Wellington, on the North Island of New Zealand, where its primary purpose is to rebuild and maintain heritage railway equipment to the high standard required for main-line operation.
As part of the organisation's 50th anniversary celebrations, they ran one of their Ja class steam locomotives, an Ab class locomotive, and a pair of heritage Diesels on a short section of track; for a 'fee' of $50, members of the Public could drive one of the locomotives during the three day weekend that has just concluded...!
The experience was in high demand...!!!
Ja 1271 AND ITS CLASS MATES
There is much that could be written about this Class of locomotive, but I'll limit myself to just two facts, namely:
1. there are numerous instances of this type of locomotive charging across the Plains of the South Island at sustained speeds of 70mph (112kph) or more while hauling the South Island Limited Express that consisted of ten carriages (or coaches, but remember: we're influenced by British terminology!),
and
2. for an engine with just 56 inch driving wheels, this resulted in a rotational speed of 360 revolutions a minute or 6 revolutions a second - quite an achievement for the 3 foot 6 inch track gauge and a locomotive, that by world standards, fell into the "mixed traffic" class...!
TODAY
Today, however, it was rather pleasant to just sit and enjoy the warm sun, to watch Ja 1271 trundle quietly down a short length of track, and to allow my imagination to take me back to the days when it and its Class mates stormed across the Plains of the South Island, white clag / exhaust streaming behind, driving rods a blur of high speed motion, and the noise on the footplate a cacophony of Sound...!
Sigh... Those were the days...!

Part of the spring that forms around Jacob's well, close to where nine people have died. The park isn't exactly forthcoming with that information, but it did happen. When I reached the well itself, one of the the park rangers was impressed when I brought it up. I asked her, "So is this the only way in?" She was like "What do you mean?" LOL. You could tell she we nervous because she thought I might have plans to go cave

Rovingian Council - Rovingian Council - Exploring the Universal Language of Symbols and Forms by Daniel Arrhakis (2026)

Exploring the Universal Language of Symbols and Forms (I)
Introduction to the Rovingian Quest: The Language of Silence
Rovingian nomadic monks are known for their dedication to the quest for sacred symbols and geometries, transcending the boundaries of traditional ritualistic patterns. For these monks, the spiritual world does not express itself through alphabetic languages, whether spoken or written. Instead, they believe that spiritual communication manifests itself through a visual language composed of geometric forms and patterns that are incorporated into the very structure of Nature and the Universe.
The Language of Silence
By rejecting spoken languages, Rovingians aim to eliminate cultural and mental barriers, seeking a direct and intuitive connection with the cosmos. This connection is achieved through the study and contemplation of sacred geometries, symbols, and ritualistic patterns. Thus, they pave the way for silent communication, a truly profound visual language that allows for a dialogue with the universe without the limitations of words.
The Visual Language: While words vary and disappear over time, the ways in which the triangle or spiral maintains mathematical meaning anywhere in the universe highlight its universal and timeless value.
The Geometric Source Code of the Universe
Rovingians believe that the universe is governed by a fundamental geometric code. Understanding this code allows one to unravel the hidden order of reality. For them, studying sacred geometry is a way to reconnect with the cosmos, treating nature as a true living temple, and the universe as a symbolic book, open to interpretation.
The Living Temple: For the monks, the world does not contain temples; the world is the temple itself. Natural elements, such as a nautilus shell or a quartz crystal, are seen as sacred scriptures. For example, the quartz crystal is not just a mineral, but a geometric lesson on order, clarity, and repetition.

Explorando a Linguagem Universal dos Símbolos e Formas (I)
1 - Introdução à Busca Rovingiana: A Linguagem do Silêncio
Os monges nómadas rovingianos são conhecidos pela sua dedicação à procura de símbolos e geometrias sagradas, ultrapassando as fronteiras dos padrões ritualísticos tradicionais. Para estes monges, o mundo espiritual não se expressa através das línguas alfabéticas, sejam elas faladas ou escritas. Em vez disso, acreditam que a comunicação espiritual se manifesta por uma linguagem visual composta por formas e padrões geométricos que estão incorporados na própria estrutura da Natureza e do Universo.
A Linguagem do Silêncio
Ao rejeitarem as línguas faladas, os rovingianos pretendem eliminar barreiras culturais e mentais, buscando uma ligação direta e intuitiva com o cosmos. Essa conexão é alcançada através do estudo e contemplação das geometrias sagradas, símbolos e padrões ritualísticos. Assim, abrem caminho para uma comunicação silenciosa, uma verdadeira linguagem visual profunda, que permite um diálogo com o universo sem as limitações das palavras.
A Linguagem Visual: Enquanto as palavras variam e desaparecem com o tempo, formas como o triângulo ou a espiral mantêm o significado matemático em qualquer parte do universo, evidenciando o seu valor universal e intemporal.
O Código-Fonte Geométrico do Universo
Os Rovingianos acreditam que o universo é regido por um código geométrico fundamental. Compreender esse código permite desvendar a ordem oculta da realidade. Para eles, estudar as geometrias sagradas é um caminho para se reconectar ao cosmos, tratando a natureza como um verdadeiro templo vivo, e o universo como um livro simbólico, aberto à interpretação.
O Templo Vivo: Para os monges, o mundo não contém templos; o mundo é o próprio templo. Elementos naturais, como uma concha de nautilus ou um cristal de quartzo, são vistos como escrituras sagradas. Por exemplo, o cristal de quartzo não é apenas um mineral, mas sim uma lição geométrica sobre ordem, clareza e repetição.
Industrial forms against bushline. The vertical compression pulls the storage tanks closer to the trees than it really is, which suits the truth more than the distance does. Compositionally, it’s a quiet argument between utility and intrusion. Note the gravestones behind.
Parking structure at Vallco Mall, Cupertino. Shot with Fuji X100S.
Part one of a two part series on a local mall that is on its last legs. The series starts off in the various parking lots around the mall. I was really drawn to the play of light. All the lots were pretty much empty so I could take my time and not worry about getting run over.
PHOTO ESSAY: BEFORE THE FALL
Antelope Canyon was formed by erosion of Navajo Sandstone, primarily due to flash flooding and secondarily due to other sub-aerial processes. Rainwater, especially during monsoon season, runs into the extensive basin above the slot canyon sections, picking up speed and sand as it rushes into the narrow passageways. Over time the passageways are eroded away, making the corridors deeper and smoothing hard edges in such a way as to form characteristic 'flowing' shapes in the rock. - Wikipedia

This was the hotel I stayed in in Istanbul earlier this year. I'm just practicing a technique for a forthcoming trip to New York.
I would appreciate really constructive critisism on it
Deconstructed is a commissioned photography project about the industrial zones of Vilnius.
I was asked by Plazma architects (www.plazma.lt) to make a series of photographs for their new urban-themed hotel project. After considering many ideas we decided to explore industrial side of Vilnius – the one that would be the most difficult to explore for a random resident. It took a few months to create a final selection of 10 images.
First of all I wanted to distance this project away from the usual, dirty industry. I’ve wandered in those industrial areas before so I knew that there’re plenty of aesthetic visual exclusivities like expressive colours and forms. Areas are also very secluded so I tried to put some of a mystery and utopia in every single image.
On the first days of shooting I’ve faced some private-area issues, so I immediately moved a project to a new, more difficult level. I decided to construct the images from separate but real fragments.
After printing the test prints it turned out that the original resolution is way too low for 2 meters prints. So I shot every single fragment in parts (something like Brenizer method), merge them and lastly create a final composition from separate fragments.
All places in the images are non-existent. Those are the concentrated reflections of Vilnius’ industry as I see it.

I saw this at the garden department of Home Depot. I haven't gotten it for my garden--yet. [EDIT: Looks like I won't, either, because when I went back to buy it, there were no more. Next time I will not resist the urge for an impulse purchase.]
Here's some information about this lovely flower.

Graffity in France in Longwy / Rèhon
Artist: Grafodeco = Scaf Oner
Hinter Grafodeco steckt der französische Straßenkünstler Pierrot, auch bekannt als Scaf oder Scaf Oner. Er ist ein talentierter und kreativer Graffiti-Künstler, der sich auf beeindruckende 3D-Illusionen und interaktive Wandgemälde spezialisiert hat.
Diese gigantische Wand der Stadt Rehon ist mehr als 400 Meter lang und in der Fotografie nicht global zu sehen.
Pierre Bertolotti alias Scaf Er ist ein französischer Graffiti-Künstler. Er schafft auch gerne Klassiker (wie Skelette, Spinnen und Schlangen), um sein Repertoire zu diversifizieren. Er malt seine Tiere sehr oft in Anamorphose, um den Realismus seiner Babys zu steigern. Seine Werke sind ungewöhnlich, fantastisch und manchmal lustig. Die Form der Wände, die gewählten Winkel, die Perspektiven, die Schatten und die Reflexionen verwandeln den gesamten städtischen Raum in eine Bewegungseinstellung.
Es hat die Besonderheit, zwei verschiedene künstlerische Unterschriften zu haben: Grafodeco, wenn es um Auftragsarbeiten geht, und Scaf, wenn es um Straßenkunst geht.
Baldrian Desnoyers alias Valer ist ein Teil von Crew Mill. Er ist ein zeitgenössischer urbaner Künstler, der 1982 geboren wurde.
Dieses 450 m lange Fresko widmet sich der Geschichte der Stadt, einschließlich ihrer Stahlvergangenheit (Fotos Nov 2021).
Lage: Rue de Longwy, Rehon (Abteilung 54 - Meurthe et Moselle)
Fertigstellungstermin: August 2016

The Pontalba Buildings form two sides of Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. They are matching red-brick, one-block-long, four‑story buildings built in the late 1840s by the Baroness Micaela Almonester Pontalba.
Baroness Pontalba, an accomplished businesswoman, invested in real estate, purchasing the land on the upriver and downriver sides of the Place d’Armes. She constructed two Parisian-style row house buildings in the 1840s, at a cost of over $300,000. The buildings include the first recorded instance in the city of the use of iron railings, now a prominent feature of the city's residential architecture.
The Devil’s Bathtub is a fascinating piece of streambed. It consists of a unique tiered waterfall located between the Upper Falls and Old Man’s Cave. The tub is situated in a weak layer of Blackhand sandstone and is constantly being enlarged by the swirling action of Old Man’s Creek. The upper part of the falls drops into a deep, bowl-shaped basin, forming a captivating whirlpool before dropping again into the large pool below. Whether you’re a Hocking Hills local or are just passing through, the Devil’s Bathtub is truly a sight to behold.
Fun Fact: While legend has it that the pool extends deep into the depths of Hades, it’s actually only a few feet deep!
