Street scene in winter light on the Upper East Side, Manhattan
Today's photo takes us back to the urban world again, and away from the world of winter migratory birds that I have shared more recently. The photograph is from our weeklong visit to New York City between Christmas and (almost) New Year's Day. It was a cold week! As we usually do, we went out and wandered Manhattan quite a bit — hard to do street photography without going into the street! Daytime highs made it (barely, and not always) into the low 20 degree range, but we fought back by layering up and by stopping frequently for refreshments in warm places. Not that the latter is a bad thing!
I made this photograph on one of those cold days. We had queued up to get into the Guggenheim, but the line wasn't moving at all. Standing there in the bitter cold and strong wind, the thought of finding a place with warm soup suddenly occurred to us, and we left the line and found food. Feeling warmer now, we headed back out onto Lexington and walked south. When I first spotted this place, somewhat interesting in its own right though not quite unique as a structure, the words on the sign caught my attention: "Soda Candy Luncheonette." Then I noticed the nice light coming up Lexington and the interesting arrangements of pedestrians as they walked past.

Another example of the brilliant color we saw in the Dolly Sods Wilderness in West Virginia... This was on the Bear Rocks Trail. The low red shrubs in the foreground are huckleberries.
This is a shot I took while Adam was changing our flat tire in the Dolly Sods Wilderness a few weeks ago.
The shot isn't anything special, but I think it shows the stark beauty of the area. It's mostly rocky and barren with a few windswept pines hanging on. The flats are covered with blueberry bushes and the area is especially beautiful in the fall when those bushes turn crimson red.
Another thing you notice about Dolly Sods is that it gives you a great opportunity to look down on the shorter mountains all around.
Bilder från en vandring till-, och runt det gamla fyrhuset vid Islandsberg, söder om Grundsund, Bohuslän. 2024-05-02.
Turen till det gamla fyrhuset, som ligger på Skaftös sydligaste udde, går på grusvägar, genom skog och över klippor med hänförande utsikt över Västerhavet.
Väl framme möts man av en samling byggnader, bl.a. det kombinerade fyr-, och bostadshuset.
Fyren uppfördes 1883 och var i drift till 1938 då den ersattes av en ny fyr. - Pictures from a hike to and around the old lighthouse at Islandsberg, south of Grundsund, Bohuslän, on the Swedish west coast. 2024-05-02.
The tour to the old lighthouse, located on the southernmost point of Skaftö, goes on dirt roads, through forest and over cliffs with breathtaking views of the Västerhavet.
Once there, you are greeted by a collection of buildings, i.a. the combined lighthouse and residential building.
The lighthouse was built in 1883 and was in operation until 1938 when it was replaced by a new lighthouse.
My next set of MOCs is for the Eurobricks Technic Triple Challenge.
Features a working MAN TGS crane, a JCB 150t forklift, and a Brouwer 1576 Sod Harvester. I hope you enjoy.

A sod roof or turf roof is a traditional Scandinavian type of green roof covered with sod on top of several layers of birch bark on gently sloping wooden roof boards. Until the late 19th century, it was the most common roof on rural log houses in large parts of Scandinavia. Its distribution roughly corresponds to the distribution of the log building technique in the vernacular architecture of Finland and the Scandinavian peninsula. The load of approximately 250 kg per m² of a sod roof is an advantage because it helps to compress the logs and make the walls more draught-proof. In winter the total load may well increase to 400 or 500 kg per m² because of snow. Sod is also a reasonably efficient insulator in a cold climate. The birch bark underneath ensures that the roof will be waterproof.
Dolly Sods Wilderness Area, Monongahela National Forest. This was the venue for sunrise photography two of the three mornings of the Potomac Highlands Photography Workshop I participated in September 11-14 (offered by Randall Sanger Photography), but we had heavy cloud cover and fog both mornings. Happily, the setting is beautiful whatever the weather -- but I'd still like to catch a great sunrise there. (Time in EXIF data is standard, rather than daylight, and I did not reset the camera's clock.)
