Many Chicago residents still don't know about the hidden gem that is the contemporary art gallery known as Wrightwood 659. It is sandwiched between Clark and Ashland on the border of Lincoln Park and Lakeview on an unassuming shady street but it has had some excellent exhibitions over the years!
Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now! is an exhibit that spans through February 15th, 2025. You can see more on their website:

This piece is by Asha Kama Wangdi and here's a link for the artist specifically:
bhutanart.bt/artists/asha-kama-wangdi/
There's also a video piece in the second floor space of the art gallery John Akomfrah entitled Four Nocturnes that is almost an hour long with thrilling scenes of high detailed nature shots so you might want to reserve about 3 hours if you go visit.

A vast vacant lot facing the Sumidagawa river and Tokyo Bay used to be the Tsukiji fish market.
This photo was taken from Kachidoki Bridge over the Sumida-gawa, part of which is seen in the extreme right of the photo.
Namiyoke Jinja is in the right near the centre. Just behind the Shintou shrine is Tsukiji Outside Market, and further behind is Ginza where the land price is the most expensive in Japan. Total area of the former Tsukiji public market is 23 ha, which is not small in the tightly built-up Tokyo.
Although five years have passed since the departure of the public market, Tokyo prefecture has not yet disclosed its redevelopment plan. It is apparent that the plan is in turmoil probably over the future of Outside Market.
Greenery in the left is the Hama-rikyuu (浜離宮) Japanese garden (flic.kr/p/245VtJE).
The area with new high-rise buildings behind the garden is called Sio-site which is a redevelopment of the former Shiodome Freight Station of Japan Rail.
Tsukiji may be redeveloped like that.

Taken during a visit to my favourite bookstore in Johannesburg, while waiting to pay for a purchase. This vast emporium has shelves packed with books, the extent of which is vastly magnified by reflective material atop the walls and in the ceiling!. Many thanks to the management and staff of Exclusive Books in Hyde Park for permitting me to take this photograph.
This is a simple vast beach without any special features except for the occasional piece of drift wood and magical sunrises.
Standing where the cliffs have yet to rise, the fortress of Pointeroc serves as the vigilant eye of Grancastell, watching the vast, menacing horizon for the first sign of an enemy sail.
Spanning two province, Songkhla Lake is the largest natural lake in Thailand and covers an area of over 1,000km squared. Although it’s called a lake, it is mostly tidal, the water brackish, and it’s geologically a lagoon.
The vast distances between remote communities in Canada's north and Alaska can take hours by car. The airplane, float plane, and ski plane are the quickest ways to get supplies and travel to appointments in larger places. These great distances make the airplane the lifeline for remote communities. These two are private, and the landing strip is just slightly up the hill where the windsock is. The village of Muncho Lake also has a floatplane base on the lake.

The Moutoa Sluice Gates and floodway, completed in 1962, are recognised as one of New Zealand’s outstanding engineering projects of the 20th century. They still serve as a lynchpin of the vast and growing network of drains, stopbanks and floodgates that comprise the Lower Manawatu Scheme and protect the farms, orchards, market gardens and homes between the ranges and the sea.
In their first 40 years to 2002 the sluice gates were opened almost 50 times. Since then they have been opened on average every 15 months with the biggest test being the disastrous floods of 2004. In fact, 2004 was a particularly notable year for floods in the Manawatu River with the gate required to be opened six times.

At the end of the winding road,
Where the horizon kisses the sky,
Lies a view so vast, so broad,
A sight to make the heart sigh.
"However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light." - Stanley Kubrick

Only two main gates allow entry into the vast 38 hectares (94 acres) of the Red Fort in Agra. Inside there are representative palace buildings from the time of Shah Jahan as well as mosques and gardens. The Red Fort was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983.
Nur zwei Haupttore gewähren Einlass in das riesige 38 ha (94 acres) umfassende Gelände das Roten Forts in Agra. Im Innern befinden sich repräsentative Palastbauten aus der Zeit Shah Jahans sowie Moscheen und Gärten. Das Rote Fort wurde 1983 in das UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe aufgenommen.

Rijssen - Nagenoeg vaste gast op de Bentheimroute op vrijdag is RFO met de gasketeltrein naar Sloe. Vaak rijdt deze trein al 's ochtends vroeg uit Bad Bentheim naar Sloe, waardoor de trein vaak lastig te doen was met zon. Op vrijdag 13 september was dat gelukkig niet het geval, en zou de trein rond 18u vertrekken uit Bad Bentheim. Samen met Jelani besloten we naar de Duitse grensplaats te rijden, om hopelijk een plaatje te kunnen maken in Gildehaus. Helaas bleek op de beoogde stekken enorm hoog mais te staan, en op een alternatieve stek werden we al snel weggestuurd, dus besloten we maar door te rijden naar Zenderen. Eenmaal daar aangekomen werden we vrij zenuwwachtig van de enorme wolken die op ramkoers waren, dus reden we toch nog maar een stukje westelijker. Uiteindelijk belandden we in Rijssen, alwaar de wolken het eveneens alweer enorm spannend maakten. Een paar plukjes leken de foto waar we de hele middag naar uitgekeken bijna te verpesten, maar toch kwam de zon gelukkig net op tijd goed genoeg door voor doorkomst voor een fraai plaatje. RFO 1828 passeert met gasketeltrein 42794 van Bad Bentheim naar Vlissingen Sloehaven de twee fotografen ter hoogte van het Twentse Rijssen. Tevreden kon er weer terug naar huis gegaan....
Vrijdag 13 september 2024
De dag begon grijs en grauw waardoor de goederentrein G 5113 ongefotografeerd bleef en ook de G 5129 ging de mist in door een passerend busje. In een afwisseling van zon en wolken, passeerde keurig in haar pad en daarmee fraai voor de zon G 5135 van Landquart naar Pontresina. Deze goederentrein is een vaste dienst van de Ge 4/4 II in dubbeltractie. De fraaie combi van RhB 613 "Domat/Ems" en 617 "Ilanz" had met een korte sleep ketels haar eindbestemming Pontresina bijna bereikt. Aan de ketels in deze treinverbinding is te zien dat de winter alweer nadert.
EDIT: Conform verwachting zijn de RhB 613, 616, 617, 618 per ultimo 2023 buitendienst gegaan.
This is the view from Auchindoun Castle. It is a lovely area so unspoiled. I could hear the sheep and the cows in the distance. As you can see a little snow on the tops but not a lot.
A picture from a couple of summers ago of some vast open space near The Hundred, Herefordshire, England.
The two people on the right give a sense of scale to the vast landscape here.
Cradle Mountain reflecting in Dove Lake as night sets in. This image is slightly earlier in the night than some of my other shots - some cloud still in the sky that later cleared revealing a perfectly clear starscape.
Cattails sway about madly as extreme winds blow in behind a late autumn cold front. I love experiencing rapid weather changes brought on by storms. There's a feeling of disarray, both in the landscape and sky, as air masses collide. Vast amounts of energy are released in the process, an abundant source of creative motivation just waiting to be tapped.
Out in this open meadow, the gusty wind was whipping everything around me into a continuous blur. Very difficult to focus the eye on any one thing when everything is in motion. Photography truly becomes more of a shoot by feel process rather than one of looking through viewfinder. As is often the case, I'm responding more to how the scene makes me feel rather than how it actually looks.
The cattails delineate an impassable boundary for me. Stems from an irrational fear of snakes. Even as a child, I equated cattails with marshes and wetlands and a high probability of harboring snakes. Even with snakes in hibernation in this freezing cold air, the tangle of overgrowth and the certainty of sinking into mud in the still soft earth was more than enough to deter me. Still I lingered on the verge; the scene almost comically bleak, the sky a dark shade or murder gray.
In the battle-grounds of life only strong will survive. After a fight, a male Blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra) was sending the defeated rival with a hard chase in style. In the peak of actions they were frozen in their natural habitat. Interestingly, the vast natural grassland was the battle ground for the males and they were huge in numbers, trying their strengths to establish the dominance hierarchy. Pics was taken from Tal Chhapar Sanctuary in Rajasthan, India.
In certe dimensioni del paesaggio la luce sembra giocare con la vastità . Crea, la luce, singolari geometrie d'acqua, con la complicità dei profili scuri della terra. Nella volta celeste sono invece le nuvole a filtrare il magico alito che colora e dona la vita, la dimensione, la profondità e la bellezza. In questi casi il paesaggio stesso diviene semplicemente momento, attimo fuggevole, sensazione, suggestione. Ancora più affascinante in quanto finalmente orfano della presenza umana ..... ..
Le vaste monument qui s'élève depuis 1979 sur la place du Vieux Marché où elle a été brûlée répond à une double reconnaissance : c'est à la fois une église pour honorer sainte Jeanne d'Arc et un mémorial civil pour commémorer l'héroïne célébrée par la France le deuxième dimanche du mois de mai. A Rouen, les fêtes Jeanne d'Arc ont lieu le dimanche le plus proche du 30 mai. Son architecte, Louis Arretche, a voulu renouer avec la tradition de beaucoup de vieilles églises normandes en donnant à l'édifice la forme d'un bateau renversé : il a pour cela retrouvé les principes de la construction navale traditionnelle et la structure en bois reste apparente au-dessus de la nef.
L'extérieur, résolument moderne, évoque la mer avec une couverture d'écailles en ardoises ou en cuivre.
The vast monument that has stood since 1979 on the Place du Vieux Marché where she was burned responds to a double recognition: it is both a church to honor Saint Joan of Arc and a civil memorial to commemorate the heroine celebrated by France on the second Sunday of May. In Rouen, the Joan of Arc celebrations take place on the Sunday closest to May 30. Its architect, Louis Arretche, wanted to reconnect with the tradition of many old Norman churches by giving the building the shape of an upturned boat: to do this, he rediscovered the principles of traditional shipbuilding and the wooden structure remains visible above the nave. The exterior, resolutely modern, evokes the sea with a covering of slate or copper scales.
Vaste prik op de zaterdagmorgen is de styreentrein van DB Cargo vanuit Rotterdam over de Betuweroute naar Duitsland. Echter op zaterdag 21 maart was zoals zo vaak Emmerich-Oberhausen dicht, dus moest de trein omgeleid worden via de Brabantroute.
De DB Cargo 193 338 passeert de inmiddels, vanwege begroeiing, onbruikbare stek aan de Broekdijk in Hulten met de styreentrein vanuit de Rotterdamse Botlek richting Duitsland en uiteindelijke bestemming het Oostenrijkse Herzogenburg!
From Colonnade Arch (or Five Hole Arch), near the rim of the Green River Canyon, looking down into Two Mile Canyon and up at the Milky Way.
Three planets are visible in the ecliptic plane which crosses the Milky Way--Jupiter is the brightest point in the upper right of this frame. Below the Milky Way, and not as bright, are Saturn and Mars.

Vaste, maar toch interessante, dagelijkse klant in Dedensen-Gümmer is EVB gevestigd in Zeven, Niedersachsen. Met haar 140's, 192's en ER20's is ze dagelijks actief met verschillende autotreinen en containertreinen in het noorden en midden van Duitsland. De betreffende treinen hebben meestal haar bestemmingen liggen in Emden of Bremen waardoor deze makkelijk in Dedensen-Gümmer te fotograferen zijn.
Te Dedensen-Gümmer passeert de EVB 140 870 met een BLG autotrein. De op 5 januari 1973 aan DB afgeleverde oude dame is vanuit Wolfsburg onderweg richting Bremerhaven alwaar daar de auto's verscheept zullen worden!
Le vaste panorama de la ville de Placentia, de la baie de Plaisance, du fjord et de l'entrée du port à partir de la colline du Lieu historique national de Castle Hill, partie ouest de la péninsule d’Avalon, Terre-Neuve (Newfoundland), Canada.
On peut apercevoir le Placentia Lift Bridge qui enjambe le Gut, ce petit chenal qui relie Placentia à deux criques profondes qui s'enfoncent vers l'intérieur.
Le Lieu historique national de Castle Hill conserve les ruines de Fort Royal, élevé par les Français vers la fin du 17e siècle puis reconstruit et rebaptisé Castle Hill par les Anglais. Celui-ci se dressait en sentinelle devant une ville côtière pittoresque, à l’époque où les troupes britanniques et françaises se disputaient le contrôle d’une pêche lucrative.
Grâce à sa position stratégique, le fort domine Placentia et offre un superbe panorama. Le centre d'accueil du Lieu historique national de Castle Hill explique la présence française et anglaise dans la région grâce à des diaporamas, maquettes et tableaux et un spectacle théâtral intitulé Visages du Fort Royal. Sa visite permet d'explorer une part de l’histoire qui a déterminé le sort d’un continent. Un joli sentier dans la pinède, le long de murets de pierres sèches, mène au Gaillardin, redoute construite par les Français en 1692.
Een vaste verschijning op de Bentheimroute in het weekend is CD Cargo vanuit Nymburk naar de Amsterdamse Westhaven v.v.
De 383 004 liet zich tot nu toe weinig in Nederland zien, op zondag 3 november kwam daar verandering in, de fraaie en schone loc passeert hier ter hoogte van Zenderen als trein 42797 richting Bad Bentheim.
Na een mislukte poging nog de Mat'64 nog een keer op de Kippenlijn te fotograferen werd naar Harselaar gereden. Er werd al de hele ochtend een schuin oog gehouden op meldingen van treinen afkomstig uit het oosten. Toen de melding kwam dat RRF in aantocht was met één van hun 1600'en met een keteltrein vanuit Bad Bentheim, werd het plan voor de vierde slag van Keolis omgegooid om RRF vast te leggen bij Harselaar. Ik tref zelf bijna nooit RRF voor de lens, dus het was het mooi dat er een dergelijke trein met een Good Ol' Nez-Cassé in aantocht was. In januari mislukte nog een foto van zo'n trein met 1600 door een flinke wolk voor de zon.
Het is 14:06 als de RRF 4401, de vroegere 1606 en tevens oudste nog dienstvaardige 1600 op het Nederlandse net, met een typische verouderde set Millet-ketelwagens de fotografen in Harselaar passeert onderweg naar Rotterdam IJsselmonde.
