From its edge here of dusty pulverised rock near Kangerlussuaq, it extends 450 miles eastwards before meeting the Atlantic. Second only to Antarctica in size and nearly a mile thick on average. Complete melting raises the global sea level by 24 feet.

With this being the beginning of Spring, I'd thought I'd say farewell to Winter by sharing my last wintry photos of the season including this look at Chicago Harbor as seen from Navy Pier. I'm not sure if all of this ice is melted yet since this photo was taken less than two weeks ago. Hopefully any remaining ice is minimal ... perhaps two or three sheets to the wind :) Happy Spring from The Windy City :)

More and more of the St. Lawrence River is freezing over. Was able to reach a section of open water with broken ice due to high winds the day before. A lovely sunset under clouds with snow on the forecast soon. Also, ongoing below freezing temperatures will create more ice. A closer view below...

Early in 1914, moreover, we realized that it would be impossible to free the Saint Anna from the ice; at best, we would drift until the autumn of 1915, more than three years after we had departed Alexandrovsk.* If we stayed on board, starvation would become a real threat by January 1915, if not sooner. In the darkness of the long polar night, a struggle against hunger carries no hope of salvation. During this season, hunting is out of the question, as all animals are in hibernation. The only certainty for those trapped in its realm is that "white death" lies in wait for them.
excerpt from In the Land of White Death by John Krakauer
Have you ever wondered why ghosts are depicted as looking like people with sheets draped over them? Perhaps because people sometimes do throw sheets over their heads and mock the dead by pretending to be ghosts. I don’t know that I believe in ghosts. I suspect that we are so tied to our bodies that when our bodies fail that whatever is left (if anything) is too fragile to make its self known. Perhaps the prototypic ghost shape represents some other phenomena.
A member of my immediate family is something of an amateur ghost hunter. He shared with me a video he took of phenomena that looks something like a traditional ghost. Less so a man with a sheet over his head than a source of glowing energy like an elongated jelly fish. If you wish to see the video and judge for yourself, you may watch it here:

Constructed on a fence at the Merced National Wildlife Refuge. These non-sticky webs are designed to entangle or stop flying prey in the upper portion, after which the prey often falls onto the lower "sheet" where the spider awaits. Notice the loose curved threads strung between the stiff vertical strands. This web was about 6" long. Quite a piece of engineering!
It's New York City here, not Greenland, or should I say Iceland, like our "Stable Genius" mistook it for? 😂😂😂
A rare sight for sure!
Thank you for your visit; much appreciated!
sitting the brass incense burning on the soap stone case incense burner and getting lights right presents a flow unique and pixel worthy.
Here's one you may not immediately recognize from Zion NP. This is The Subway with higher than normal water flow!
Over the past decade one of the common advices given to aspiring photographers is to explore various of photographic themes from which they may start developing their own style. Style, so I believe, is first and foremost the reflection of the photographer’s own personality combined with his/her favored theme/subject and her preferred technique(s) of execution. It’s good advise even though slightly inadequate.
I have realized this couple of months ago when my work was criticized as “mirroring the reality”. Indeed, simply just. Behind the bland words and the euphemistic praises the critique is not very pleasant to read, however it was probably one of the most insightful critique I ever received. It hallowed me to deepen the engagement with my subjects, not in order to capture photographs but to make pictures and even tableaux.
So let’s start with a ‘blank sheet’

I've shared some other b/w photos of this developing scene in the last month or so. This photo was (as I recall) the culmination of some fascinating clouds building up to this release. I was quite dry where I was.
Falling snow obscures the forrest and the lakeside along which I stand. Magical. I was the first one out on the trail today, so I didn’t encounter a singe footprint for the first 5 km.

About twenty minutes before I took this photo I looked out to the Northeast of the island and saw some ominous clouds off in the distance. I could tell they were headed south and, possibly, even west. That would put the clouds right on top of me. The storm rolled past me about two or three miles to the east. I'm glad I didn't have to hike out in the mud.
I've really been falling back in love with some of my color 4x5 images. The emulsions that I usually use haven't been produced in decades (and will never be produced again) (and if they were still in production, there's no way I could afford them).
I do have some left and I'm sure I'll pick up a few more boxes here and there, but I really need to understand that soon I'll have no color sheets left.
Maybe in five years (at the rate I shoot color now, which is slowly) they'll all be gone.
But who knows what will be happening in five years, so (as far as color sheet film goes) I think I'll live for today-ish.
This photo memorializes the yellow flowers I saw for most of my trip. This one in particular is along an abandoned stretch of US Route 20 that was originally (very close to) Goodall's Cutoff of the Oregon Trail.
I don't know what the flowers are, though I remember knowing at the time.
There are flashes of blue on the rocks and I have no idea why. It was noon-ish, so maybe they are reflections that blew out of highlights and this is how the film rendered the blow out. That's my best guess. With normal color film, these might have rendered as white.

At the southern end of the Earth, a NASA plane carrying a team of scientists and a sophisticated instrument suite to study ice is returning to surveying Antarctica. For the past eight years, Operation IceBridge has been on a mission to build a record of how polar ice is evolving in a changing environment.
The information IceBridge has gathered in the Antarctic, which includes data on the thickness and shape of snow and ice, as well as the topography of the land and ocean floor beneath the ocean and the ice, has allowed scientists to determine that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may be in irreversible decline. Researchers have also used IceBridge data to evaluate climate models of Antarctica and map the bedrock underneath Antarctic ice.

In sailing, a sheet is a line (rope, cable or chain) used to control the movable corner(s) (clews) of a sail.
HMS Victory is a 104-gun first-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, ordered in 1758, laid down in 1759 and launched in 1765. She is best known as Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
good to go
