Looking toward Belvidere Street and the north side of the Berklee 160 Mass Ave Building (with illuminated garage door) at late twilight.

An eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe stack train, led by Santa Fe GE C44-9W No. 665, approaches Bison, Montana, while crossing scenic Marias Pass on June 5, 2002.

ascending into light, beneath mirrored steel and toward a symbol of centuries past, one figure steps forward. the silence of the frame holds weight — here, progress and memory converge in architecture and shadow.

Looking toward Richmond, Morrel Bridge & the towers. Saturday mornign along the Yarra. The light, on this the penultimate day of Autumn/Fall, was glorious for a very relaxed and slow morning catching images. The rowers, cyclists and walkers generally missed the beauty of the time.

Toward dreams

“When everything starts to feel big and therefore scary and insurmountable, when I hit a point of feeling or thinking too much, I’ve learned to make the choice to go toward the small.”

~Michelle Obama, Overcoming: A Workbook, p. 7, Clarkson Potter (December 3, 2024)

 

Although Michelle Obama referred to her knitting rather than macros, these are Swarovski® crystal beads I’ve used before. Placing these .8cm / 0.31 inch beads vertically on top of one another proved vexatious, but absorbs my mind.

 

This Laowa lens magnifies by two. Aperture used was f/8.

Looking out toward the Salish Sea, I was reminded of an axiom of photography. It is an accepted practice to avoid shooting directly into or toward the sun. However, adhering to what others say, might result in missing out on an opportunity.

 

The sun was directly overhead, and the light was far too much for the sensor. As a result, a sparkling effect rises on the water, heavy contrasts result in lines, and a coloured background appears under an exceptionally dark cloud.

 

Along the horizon a tug boat pulls its barge and a story ensues. That is to say, harsh conditions will not prevent this Captain from fulfilling his duty.

Just a hint of colour and some blur in the fast moving clouds makes for an interesting sky over Dunmore Bridge. Woodville, New South Wales. Australia.

Taken the morning of August 2, 2009, around Banner Lakes at Summerset State Park near Indianola, Iowa.

Toward Point is the southern extremity of the Cowal Peninsula, near the village of Toward and six miles south of Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. There has been a lighthouse here since 1812. The location is the south-west extreme point of the Highland Boundary Fault as it crosses the Scottish mainland. Toward Point Lighthouse was completed in 1812. It was built by Robert Stevenson (1772–1850) for the Cumbrae Lighthouse Trust. Two lighthouse keepers' houses were added in the later 1800s. A white building on the foreshore housed the foghorn mechanism, originally a steam engine and then diesel engines. The foghorn was taken out of operation in the 1990s. Today the buildings are a private home and not open to the public.

 

A couple walking toward the sunlight, on an ealry October morning. They seem to walk on purple clouds of heath.

Looking toward the tower on the beach at El Palmar, Spain

At 5:52 p.m. on March 22, 2024, Amtrak’s California Zephyr descends off the front range mountains towards its next station and service stop of Denver. The eastbound train has just exited Tunnel 1 and is headed for the mouth of Coal Creek Canyon between aptly-named Plainview, and Eisele, Colorado. Train 6 this day is led by freshly-repainted GE P42DC No. 82 in current Phase VII colors, and is entering a large horseshoe curve that will send it eastward toward Big 10 Curve and a descent toward Denver.

As April rolls on toward May, there’s hope, at least, that tourists will soon no longer need coats to take a boat ride, though one can never really be certain here. This shot of Chicago’s Michigan Avenue DuSable Bridge looks north from the south side of the Chicago River.

 

For Our Daily Challenge: Hope; and for Fence Friday. Depending on how one counts, there are at least eight separate fences visible in this image.

 

HFF!

Some beautiful light and skies this morning at daybreak on Ballytrent looking out toward the Tuskar Lighthouse.

When the deer has bedded down

"And the bear has gone to ground

And the northern goose has wandered off

To warmer bay and sound

It's so easy in the cold to feel

The darkness of the year

And the heart is growing lonely for the morning

 

Oh, my Joanie, don't you know

That the stars are swingin' slow

And the seas are rollin' easy

As they did so long ago

If i had a thing to give you

I would tell you one more time

That the world is always turning toward the morning."

 

"Turning Toward The Morning" by New England singer and songwriter, Gordon Bok

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all you fine Flickr friends !

The glacier- and cloud-capped volcanic peak of Mount Rainier (at 14,411 ft [4,392 m], the highest peak in the Cascade Range) looming more than 9,000 feet above the steep trail headed up its slopes, as summer wildflowers begin to fill the alpine meadows.

We went out a calm evening to lay down a few crab pots and the water was so calm. My brother's son is sitting in front looking into the horizon. We took the opportunity to take a bath from the boat as well =)
