Seemingly absorbed in distant thought, a mature gent keeps a close clutch on his afternoon latte in Chicago's Chinatown neighborhood.

A couple different thoughts come to mind while looking at this shot. All of them provoked by the eye squint. Is he squinting to lower the amount of light his eye lets in, so he can see further into a dark space? Or is it a safety habit in case something were to jump out? Or could it be a squint of intense precision to not break away the bark from his highly engineered food source? Hmmmmm?

♫ And we stare at the sun, but we never see anything there. Just a glare has become all that we'll ever see there. ♫

Here's one I found in the file-pile.
I saw this funny little beast while doing a hike near Mt. Baker a couple summers ago.
first shot only grabbed his front half, but it was pretty sharp, sadly this is the best I can offer. I guess I can hope to see him again someday under better circumstances, hope he wasn't just passing through...
Here we see Dill, eye barely open, her head on pale Nutmeg, and tuxedo Nigel, backed up in view on the right- Cat Pile!!
Happy Caturday - "Something in the Eyes"
There is a lot to dislike for many people during Minnesota winters. As you get older and more vulnerable, walking on snowy and icy parking lots can quickly become a life-changing event.
But there are some positive aspects as well as illustrated by the surreal foggy landscape interrupted by two dots of eagles high on a tree squinting for unfortunate prey scurrying across the snow below.
I found it amusing how this nice butterfly seemed to be staring at me ... I just had to "portray" it
I have wanted to get this location for such a long time after seeing images from the likes of Trevor Cotton and Spencer Brown and an opportunity arose over the weekend that I couldn't turn down, high tide at sunset!!
I arrived on location only to struggle finding the entry point for the forshore this gem sits on, 10 minutes later and some local hash heads gave the game away, after being told it was a 5 - 10 minute walk by the above mention weed smokers I arrive 32 minutes later......with the sun setting behind a bank of cloud.......gutted, so what was a promising bit of light and I end up on a recce!
I still really struggle with LE's at this time of day due to the ever changing light! Give me a grey day and I'm good, but sunrise or sunset and I start to have issues!
Anyway, after a fair bit of time sat at the PC, this is the end result from that recce and to be fair, Im fairly pleased with it! I would love feedback from the people that know this location as I feel there are issues with my editing!
360 Seconds of LE goodness here!
Hard to see behind tree Black Widow F-Unit helper assist Sparks-Roseville for SDP45 3200 up on the point CoSF 1968. A good day at Black Rock.
If you squint you could be fooled into thinking this was somewhere deep in the Adirondack in the middle 20th Century headed to Malone instead of the beginning of the second quarter of the 21st Century up in the Mount Washington Valley!
Conway Scenic Railroad's 2 PM 'Snow Train' cuts some fresh powder southbound about to cross Sawmill Lane at MP 136.6 (from North Station in Boston) on the Conway Branch, owned and operated since 1974 by the Conway Scenic Railroad after having seen its last Boston and Maine Railroad freight depart two years prior. Leading the train is CSRR 1751 an EMD GP9 blt. Sep. 1956 as Chessapeake and Ohio 6128 but dressed in New York Central style lighting stripe paint from its time on the Finger Lakes Railroad.
Due to the worsening conditions the remainder of the trains would be canceled this day and the railroad would regroup to shovel out and try again on Monday.

One of the original buildings at the Britannia Shipyard.... peering back at me.
