We have been in extreme drought for some time now. No measurable rain in over a month, and not a lot for some time before that. Some trees are dying, especially the oaks. There are fires all about, and thousands of acres have burned in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. There has been smoke in the air for weeks, hazy and irritating.
There are no fires in the Smoky Mountains yet, but some near there. This is a part of Spruce Flats Falls, and area that is usually covered in rushing water. Only a remnant remains.
Walls of China, Mungo National Park are a place to time travel. Travel back 60,000 years to when todays lunettes were created in rich lush forests. Wind, rain and drought have transformed the landscape to what we see today. These two images were taken at sunset.
(Always seek approval before stepping on to this sacred ground and have a guide with you.)
The pano shot is from 2009, shot on my last roll of Kodachrome, and the second shot is from 2022 of the same view on Weston Road. Those houses have been there since around 2000 and looked onto the massive Bunge complex (which I have many photos of in my Junction folder), and where the Stockyards Village Mall is.
Every time I go to the mall, just like today, I always tell whoever I'm with that I wish Bunge was still here because it is how my mental map was anchored by it. It was a huge complex and many people lost their jobs. In today's climate it's the first time I've heard people's view change about local manufacturing.
While looking in our garden for some macro inspiration, I came across this single colorful mystery remnant of last summer's flowers. I had no idea what it was but my wife seems to think it's a dried up rose hip. It's not a particularly interesting subject but took some thought to set up with lighting, edit, and focus stack two images. In hindsight, I should have had a minimum of three photos as one part of the stem above the rose hip is not quite sharp. In any case, it was a fun project on a cold and damp, gray afternoon.
Just playing around with shallow depth of field, this time with my Leica 50mm f2 lens that I haven't used in years. I was very pleased with the results on a full frame mirrorless camera.
Also I'm trying not to be a one trick pony and just shoot grand vistas. This view from inside a hedge row bush shows off the quality of this lenses' bokeh.

Our cities were once great logging towns. The lakes and rivers in our area are littered with old pilings that have been cut down, instead of removing them from the lake/river bed. Every winter they resurface and it creates confusion to new transplants of the area.

CTB 1 is a supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation Cassiopeia and a source of optical, radio, and X-ray emissions. A recent study reports that a pulsar was born from the supernova that produced CTB 1 and ejected into the galaxy.
CTB 1 is approximately 9784 light years away and physically spans another 98 light years in diameter while it is dated to be approximately 10,000 years old.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled in stunning detail a small section of the expanding remains of a massive star that exploded about 8,000 years ago.
Called the Veil Nebula, the debris is one of the best-known supernova remnants, deriving its name from its delicate, draped filamentary structures. The entire nebula is 110 light-years across, covering six full moons on the sky as seen from Earth, and resides about 2,100 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan.
This 3-D visualization flies across a small portion of the Veil Nebula as photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Trudging west over wet rail and intermittent driving rain, the crew of CSX L453 finds a brief moment of calm before the storm as they ease through the snaking curves outside of Sparksville. With original signaling falling in November of the previous year, the lineside codeline and telegraph poles are the final remnants of B&O control over the St. Louis division, and they too will fall soon.
