I did a double-take when I downloaded this photo of a Great Blue Heron in the Shiawassee National Wildlife Refuge today, August 3, 2025. Might it have gotten wet, perched, and absorbed the wildfire soot from our wildfire skies, being so bad over the past few days? Might this be the look of a chimney sweep, thus the photo title? The last time I saw something like this was the tragic photos from the Deepwater Horizon spill from a few years back and the wildlife covered in oil. I have sent this photo to the refuge's Director and Park Ranger. Ugh.
Many thanks Dorota for the link:
Rochester Sweeps Festival :-))
It may be the 2012 event but it gives a good idea
of what the event is all about!!
google translate says sweepers while I would say cleaners ... what is the correct term in English ? sweepers sounds weird ;)

A familiar comp, but would have been rude not to shoot it while I was there and the sky was putting on a show
I kind of like the minimal amount of focus in this shot. The soft bokeh tells the rest of the story.

Perhaps this is the first time that I have shot a closeup of this sweep, but I did have a purpose in mind. I wanted to use this favorite art piece in a couple of Photofox photo editing creations creations. "Not Easily Distracted" is one of them.

I headed out this weekend to try out a new Benro tripod setup since the previous gitzo suffered a fracture of one of the footings. It feels just as stable and manouverable and costs less than half the price- If it lasts , I know what I will be getting in the future. This image something I've been meaning to try for a while. Long exposure panoramas of water have been problematic for me because of the stitching issues but I tried to get each frame only during high outgoing waves and to my surprise, this worked pretty well!

Happy Wall Wednesday!

It was so sunny when I went for a walk, and from the first pic on my video it took only 10 minutes and it was all grey.
a lot to take in at a glance

The sunset provided an excellent subdued background for this piece of artwork. Subtle is good, especially in these drama-filled days.

Chimney sweeps on their rounds are a common sight in Vienna, even in the 21st century! All chimneys must be swept at least once a year and inspections are made quarterly. You can expect to be visited by your local sweeps around Christmas and New Year. They bring a calender and are hoping for a good tip - it's supposed to bring you luck! They are said to enjoy their work - up on the roofs every morning they see many a pretty sunrise! These days women are also taking up the trade.
Do zoom in on the sweeps for a closer view - you get to see their equipment!
Happy Sliders Sunday!
