Geometric and parallel lines run across the Nazca Desert accompanying the spider, monkey, spaceman etc... I just loved the moodiness of this landscape.

The Carquinez Bridge refers to parallel bridges spanning the Carquinez Strait, forming part of Interstate 80 between Crockett and Vallejo, in the U.S. state of California. The name originally referred to a single cantilever bridge built in 1927, helping to form a direct route between San Francisco and Sacramento.
A second parallel cantilever bridge was completed in 1958 to deal with the increased traffic. Later, seismic problems of the 1927 span led to the construction and 2003 opening of a replacement: a suspension bridge officially called the Al Zampa Memorial Bridge (named in the memory of iron worker Al Zampa, who played an integral role in the construction of numerous San Francisco Bay Area bridges). Currently, the Alfred Zampa Memorial Bridge carries westbound traffic from Vallejo to Crockett, and the 1958 cantilever span carries eastbound traffic.
The Carquinez Strait is a narrow tidal strait in northern California. It is part of the estuary of the Sacramento and the San Joaquin rivers as they drain into the San Francisco Bay. The strait connects Suisun Bay, which receives the waters of the rivers, with San Pablo Bay. The strait forms part of the border between Solano and Contra Costa counties, and is approximately 15 mi north of Oakland, the cities of Benicia and Vallejo lie on the north side of the strait, while Martinez, Port Costa, and Crockett sit on the southern coast. The Napa River joins the strait, via the short Mare Island Strait, the strait is named after the Karkin, a linguistic division of the Ohlone Native Americans who resided on both sides of the strait.
The California Maritime Academy is at the end of the strait on the northern waterfront. The C&H Sugar refinery is located on the shore in the small town of Crockett. The strait is crossed by two bridges, the Carquinez Bridge on Interstate 80 and the Benicia-Martinez Bridge on Interstate 680. Each highway bridge consists of two spans, Interstate 780 connects the two highways on the northern slope of the strait. State Route 4 connects these highways south of and inland from the strait, a rail bridge just east of the Benicia-Martinez bridge is used by the Capitol Corridor, California Zephyr, and Coast Starlight trains.
A rail ferry, with the ferries Contra Costa and Solano, which were the largest train ferries ever built, provided service across the strait near the location of the current rail bridge until the bridge was built in 1930, this bridge is still the second longest rail bridge in the US and the longest west of the Mississippi River. Tall pylons carrying power lines cross the strait as well, the Carquinez Strait Powerline Crossing was the world's first powerline crossing of a large river.
The channel is navigable and is used for commercial and military shipping, deep water ship traffic bound for both the Port of Sacramento and the Port of Stockton traverse the strait. The narrow gap in the Coast Range that forms the strait has led to the formation of the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta, a river delta, upstream of it.
The strait is too small to allow the passage of huge amounts of floodwaters created during years with heavy rainfall/snowmelt events. Because the Delta area is the first to fill and last to drain in an event, silt and soil have more time to drop out of suspension.

An opening was held for L&C Alumna Kaleigh Grace's (Class of 2021) "Intimate Parallels" solo photography exhibition at Picture This And More in Alton, Friday, June 25, 2021.
_1360296 - Walking up the slipway and this just caught my eye. It was Friday and I had been taking shots of benches so thought it would add a twist to the collection. Apologise for the focus on the front edge at least
Square cropped to remove lower wall section of the bench as I wanted you to focus on the bench rails and the yellow lines, so the centre of focus is at the other end of the bench.
DMC G1 + Helios 44M - Hence the short focus area
Free hand (hands were very cold at this point almost frozen fingers)

my inspiration for this album come from my favorite video game (silent hill)
While not an overly unique building, the Kellogg, Brown, and Root Tower is completely and utterly symmetrical.
This project is my speculation about presumable existence of parallel universes. The universe is infinite, but there is only limited amount of particles everything is made of. That means, that any combination of limited amount of participles will repeat again. Theory of hyperspace says, that our universe is just one small bubble in the foam full of bubbles.What if somewhere there, in the depth of infinite universe, exists exactly the same version of me?
Or you?
Most Parents are probably just like me - Concerned about their childrens welfare on a daily basis and trying their best to secure a good future for them.
Most workers are probably just like me - We do our jobs the best we can. Not always enjoying it but we need the money for the things we need and love.
Most lovers are probably just like me - Love their partners most of the time and occasionally wondering what planet they hail from.
Most children are probably just like me - Need their parents and their approval forever, yet are experts on their flaws and shortcomings.
Most siblings are probably just like me - Fighting and loving in the same sentence and expressing their extensive capability for forgiveness and understanding regularly.
We are humans in various packaging, more the same than different. Our lives run parallel and this lack of intersection maybe what leads us to judge on the package rather than content.
