During my recent photo excursion to the Flint Hills of Kansas. I ran across a very lovely cemetery with a unique fence. Image made with a Pentax K 5 with post processing in Silver Efex Pro2.
It is quite fun to pass the time dripping water into a pan and seeing what comes out. I found a piece of gradient paper at the crafts store, and shot the flash into it, the colors that came out I think are pretty wild. The colors are straight out of the camera, no processing involved.
This is a minimalist view of Lake Huron in the winter. In the morning there was snow-covered ice just about to the horizon, but a few hours later the ice shelf had broken loose and began to drift away, with the open water filling the gap. The thin blue line at the horizon is open water at the far edge of the ice. By late afternoon the wind had kicked up and the ice was gone. This is a good example of why one should use great caution and judgement before going out on the ice. Decades ago my father had to be rescued by the Coast Guard when he and others were stranded when the ice on which they were ice-fishing on the Detroit River broke loose and headed downstream.

Strobist info : foldable black background highlighed by a strobe in TTL at 24 mm. Model with the Godox Ad600 through octabox in TTL mode.
PP in PS : first step : frequency separation to clean skin and soften the hightlights and shadows on the face. Then I added layers for the color and texture with Topaz Texture. Finally, I modified the white background with Topaz texture.
Feel free to add any comment.
I was just about to take a picture of Mina and Silver together this morning when Mina's head fell off. The pin has broken, which has happened to me before, but luckily i have spare neck pegs to sort out for her :) Strange as it may sound, i think she looks beautiful without a body! So i thought i'd take a picture of her...
The picture of her and Silver will come later, when she's borrowed a body :D

The Lee Theater in central Little Rock is an old abandoned movie theater that reflects accurately the time period in which it was built. The theater was built in 1940 in the Art Moderne style, which grew from the Art Deco style of the 1920s. But its construction also showcases another aspect of life in the South - segregation.
The theater was designed by Jack Corgan, who worked out of an architectural firm based in Dallas. The firm designed over 400 movie and drive-in theaters across several states. Corgan would also help design a terminal for Chicago's Love Field (which included the first ever moving walkway in an airport), and also the JFK Memorial in Dallas. The Art Moderne style became popular during the Great Depression, and it can be found in the Lee Theater's facade. The front of the building has a "large expanse of decorative tile and stucco on the front façade, patterned tile bands, streamlined awnings, neon lighting, round windows."
But the interior was designed for segregation. The Lee Theater had a seating capacity for 950 people on two floors, however the balcony was reserved for "Negro" use only. Besides the balcony, the theater also had a separate entrance and bathrooms. The goal of the separation was so that Black people "[would] not come in contact with white patrons in any way nor at any time,” which according to a news article from the time was a "wise precaution in the South." But theater balconies were not an ideal place to watch a movie, with it being farthest away from the screen and at an elevated angle that was not calibrated for the projector. The segregated balconies would become known derisively as the "peanut gallery," the "buzzard's roost" or the "crow's nest."
The Lee Theater showed movies until 1957, when it closed and the building was used by an electrical supply company. When that company relocated to a different building, the Lee Theater was left empty and vacant. It was about this time that segregation would officially end in Little Rock, thanks to a judge's order in 1963 that opened the city's movie theaters and Robinson Center to Black people on an equal basis with white people.
The Lee Theater never re-opened, and it sat empty for decades. A few years ago, part of the roof collapsed and also brought down the old balcony. It now sits in a tall pile of rubble in what would have been the lobby of the old theater.
The Lee Theater was named one of the state's most endangered historic places in 2015 by Preserve Arkansas. Despite its condition, the Lee Theater remains as the only stand-alone movie theater built before World War II that is still standing in Little Rock. Although it is not sure how much longer the brick and stucco walls of this old place will withstand the forces of weather, gravity or the bulldozer.

The planet’s biggest and most powerful wind turbines have begun generating electricity off the Liverpool coast, cementing Britain’s reputation as a world leader in the technology.
(circa 2017)
Danish company Dong Energy has just finished installing 32 turbines in Liverpool Bay that are taller than the Gherkin skyscraper, with blades longer than nine London buses. Dong Energy, the windfarm’s developer, believes these machines herald the future for offshore wind power: bigger, better and, most importantly, cheaper.
The Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm is a 348 MW offshore wind farm located on the Burbo Flats in Liverpool Bay on the west coast of the UK in the Irish Sea. It consists of an original 90 MW wind farm commissioned in 2007 and a 258 MW extension completed in 2017.
The wind farm was developed in the 2000s by SeaScape Energy, which was acquired by DONG Energy (now Ørsted A/S) in 2005. A 25 turbine installation using Siemens Wind Power 3.6 MW turbines was constructed from 2005, and officially opened in 2007. A further 32 8 MW turbines were constructed in 2016–17.

The Separation
Quick contour/continuous line sketch from imagination. I find that there's a sense of both sadness and love in their expressions which I quite like.

Sometimes, I enjoy the mechanics of certain photos for what they can represent, even if they don't feel like particularly "interesting" compositions. I loved all of the lines of separation here: the foreground and background, the lit and shaded parts of the large rock, the vertical trees and the horizontal line from the foreground. I find those elements contrasting to be really pleasing and am drawn to shots like this one.

Always enjoy an off the wall camera capture, especially when it has to do with railroading. The somewhat explosive separation of the airbrake hoses and attendant escape and condensation of the compressed air. See the next photo for them coupled and close to disengaging. Captured during the 611 photo shoot. Going down tomorrow to watch them fire it up, meaning it will be stone cold and the fire will have to be built, engine lubed and all the other start up items.

My neighbors are losers! Though no words have been exchanged I think they hate me for doing the D-Generation X crotch chop in the middle of the street in front of their kids. We live in the city not the suburbs... this is how we spell relief! "Lets Get Ready to.......
