a welcoming gradient is a photograph I took late at night while on the road. this was created in-camera with minor exposure tweaks in post processing.
Thanks for viewing and your comments are always inspiring.

a life is not a flat plane. it is a steep and unforgiving gradient. a hard line drawn between the shadow of the past and the bright, unknown summit. there are no spectators. there is only the rough texture of the concrete and the solitary rhythm of the climb. the destination is not the point. the upward movement is everything.

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Previously unpublished shot from June 2017.
While I am not out on the street, thankfully, I am now officially homeless and am on the list for emergency temporary accommodation. I may find myself in a place without Internet access and could be in that position for 6-8 months or more.
Also realising just how small one bedroom apartments are means that in the next 4 weeks I have to streamline my life like never before. I will have to get rid so much of my life I fear there will be nothing left to hang on to. I know that possessions are ultimately unimportant, they are a part of our own personal stories and I am not ready to rid myself of so much of them. I have little choice.
In the 'temporary' accommodation I could also end up in the middle of nowhere. Isolated. I cannot express how terrifying this all is while suffering from C-PTSD where comfort, continuity and safety are paramount. It is taking almost all of my effort to remain in a position to be able to do even simple things.
I know that you must all be sick of hearing negative things from me. It helps me to write out and share these things and please know that when, or if, positive things happen, I will share those with fervour.
I thank you for all of your support. Every little helps. Take care.

I do find this island photogenic and the weather was great for LE work, processing was minimal here, spot removal, a little contrast and sharpening on the island and a slight gradient to the sky, it took several shots as the incoming tide was disturbing the tripod legs, exposure time was 4 1/2 min with a Heliopan ND 3 (a 10 stop I think) a great filter, I have dropped it from ten feet up and although it's a bit loose in it's mounting it didn't even scratch! I also converted it to B+W

Country Life, my cosmos garden
田舎暮らし・コスモス園
Of all the plants I planted this year, this was the only one with small, gradient-colored cosmos flowers. I liked it so much that I have already harvested the seeds.
今年植えた中でこのグラデーション色の小さなお花のコスモスが一本だけ含まれていました。気に入ったので、種を収穫済み。来年のお楽しみです。

Caen Hill Locks, Wiltshire
Situated on the Kennet & Avon Canal the 29 locks have a rise of 237 feet in 2 miles (72 m in 3.2 km) or a 1 in 44 gradient. The locks come in three groups: the lower seven locks, Foxhangers Wharf Lock to Foxhangers Bridge Lock, are spread over 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km); the next sixteen locks form a steep flight in a straight line up the hillside and are designated as a scheduled monument and are also known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Waterways. Because of the steepness of the terrain, the pounds between these locks are very short. As a result, fifteen of them have unusually large sideways-extended pounds, to store the water needed to operate them. A final six locks take the canal into Devizes. The locks take 5–6 hours to traverse in a boat
One I had not got around to posting. Back in September I went on a couple of days to see if I could get the sun rising over the locks between the trees. Alas I gather I was probably a day or 2 late but I did get one of those misty mornings where the mist hung over the canal and was gradually burnt off as the sun rose. Nice to get the narrowboats moored there and quite an atmospheric morning with just me and a couple of other Togs around.

A colorful winter sunset taken in high-res mode through my Agfa Agnar 85mm f4.5. This lens came off of an old Agfa Isolette that my Grandfather bought in Germany during his time in the army in the late 40’s. It’s an interesting, surprisingly sharp, lens with extra sentimental value.
A failed attempt to drag out a smaller steam roller from the undergrowth - the rain had made the ground slippery and adding to the uphill gradient.......
Was a great demonstration but the persistent rain that started caused to me retire to the dry engine shed for a welcome mug of tea.

Another of the places that most impressed me of the Cantabria Coast.
Photographing the north coast, it becomes a difficult task for all the variables to fit, coincidence of sunrise-sunset with high-low tides depending on each place, having good lights and whenever you can look for less-seen frames, it complicates a lot things.
On the technical side, say that I used the combination of a ND four steps filter and a soft gradient ND three steps filter.
I hope you like it. Have a nice Sunday. :)

The Land Remembers and The Sky Carries Us
The Land Remembers and The Sky Carries Us are part of many public artworks on display across the City of Mississauga.
Jeannette Ladd, 2026

City Centre Transit Terminal, 200 Rathburn Road West
The two murals, The Land Remembers and The Sky Carries Us, are a pair. One rooted in memory of the earth and the other carried by the cycles of the sky. Together, they create a visual journey through the terminal: grounding commuters in the strength of the land while lifting their gaze to the guidance of the sky. These works balance stillness and movement, past and future, reminding all who pass through that we walk on lands with long memory and move beneath skies that continue to carry us forward.
The Land Remembers is a tribute to the living memory carried by the lands and waters of Mississauga. Long before the modern city rose along the shoreline, this place thrived as a landscape of forest, river, and sky, where the cycles of the natural world moved in balance.
The sun, moon, and stars mark the passage of time, guiding the rhythms of day and season. Birds take flight across the sky, carrying with them teachings of freedom and connection between the earth and the spirit above. The trees stand firmly in the soil, their roots stretching deep below, reminding us of strength and the unseen networks of life that continue beneath the surface, even as the City grows. The river flows steadily, offering sustenance, its waters alive with fish and story. Along the banks, the flowers bloom, carrying both beauty and medicine, showing that healing and life still emerge from the land. Above it all, the skyline rises, a reminder of how the City has grown and continues to change. In the sky, the four sacred colours (yellow, red, black and white) stretch across the
sky representing balance, the four directions and the teachings that guide Anishinaabe life.
Alongside these, the mural carries rich earth tones, deep blues of the river, and vibrant greens and floral hues. This piece speaks to the truth that the land itself remembers. It remembers the forests that once covered the horizon, the waters that have always moved through its valleys, and the lives that have depended on its gifts. Even as the skyline changes, the land continues to hold memory, urging us to pause, reflect, and honour the stories written into the earth.
If the first mural speaks of memory rooted in the earth, the second turns its gaze upwards to the sky, the messengers, and the pathways of light that guide us forward.
Above the City, the sun, moon, and stars move in timeless cycles. They are keepers of direction and rhythm, reminding travellers that every journey is part of something larger. Birds, butterflies, or celestial beings appear as messengers which are symbols of migration and transformation. In this mural, soft gradients of blues, purples and gold echo the cycles of the sky, creating a sense of uplift and continuity as commuters move through the space. Where the land remembers, the sky carries us. It holds both the movement of commuters through the terminal and the movement of ancestors whose spirits still travel with us. In the shimmer of wings and the glow of constellations, stories are told of belonging, resilience, and shared passage. This mural creates a sense of uplift within the transit space: a reminder that while our feet move across the City, our spirits are always connected to the cycles of the sky and the guidance of the messengers.
Together, The Land Remembers and The Sky Carries Us form a visual journey through the City Centre Transit Terminal. One grounds travellers in the enduring memory of the earth, while the other lifts their gaze toward the guidance of the sky. These works are meant to create moments of stillness and connection within a place of constant motion, reminding us that every step we take is held by the land and carried by the sky.
