Seek, and you will find. It amazes me how certain elements within nature just come together. Its kinda like peanut butter and jelly. I scouted this area out for sometime when I came across this section of mud tiles that caught my eye. I noticed that this small section had the perfect pyramid formation that pointed straight out into the badlands.
Hope all you guys out there are doing well. Summer is almost over! YAY!!!!! Stay cool out, the fall is almost here.
Lots of new images coming soon!!! Peace and Love.
ARCHITECTURE
"The Oculus was positioned as part of the World Trade Center masterplan by Daniel Libeskind and designed by Santiago Calatrava. The structure’s white metal-clad steel ribs reach up and out in a monumental move symbolic of a hand releasing a dove.
The structure's orientation serves as a lasting reminder of the attacks of September 11, 2001. It is in alignment with the sun’s solar angles on each September 11, from 8:46 am, when the first plane struck, until 10:28 am, when the second tower collapsed. Its central skylight fits this alignment and washes the Oculus floor with a beam of light."

A hidden mystery in the woods near Roche Harbor on San Juan Island, WA is the John S. McMillin Mausoleum.
John McMillin - a mason by trade - brought a lot of this skill into the architecture of the mausoleum which you'd imagine was plucked from some sort fantasy novel/mythical tale.
The next day we boarded the boat that would take us iceberg hunting. We found a few and were amazed at how cold it would become the closer we got. As we circled the behemoth, I noticed the thin cloud above and aligned the two as we rounded it again.
A black and white version of an earlier shot of the log storage lagoons on the River Clyde. About 2 acres of these are found in the shallows near Port Glasgow, used extensively during the Clydes ship building period the area stored a vast amount of logs to be used in the ship building process.
less about making a good picture, more about recognising conditions in which your phone will cooperate...
This weekend was Mum and Dads birthday, Mum who was a year younger - would catch up to Dad for one day each year in a Brigadoon kind way.
We lost them both a few years back and normally I'd go home to Werri Beach and say G'day to them at the ocean - like eveything else this year lockdown has stolen that chance as well.
So I went to the place I feel most at peace - Lake Illawarra, for the sunset today and remembered you pair and hope you had a great birthday up there.
Happy Birthday Mum an Dad.
Keeping the cobwebs off the 200/3.5 Tak. It takes some patience (& some luck TBH) but it really delivers when the planets line up.
Shot wide open
I stopped to catch a few shots of this Red Tailed Hawk in the snag.
As luck would have it, I quickly realized the moon was right there and I only had to move a few feet to line it up behind the hawk. My luck was further compounded when I shot a short burst right as it took off.

The Kermario Alignment consists of 1029 stones in ten columns, about 1,300 m (4,300 ft) in length. This alignment is also called the "House of the Dead."
The granite structure in the foreground is a dolmen -- or burial chamber -- and was originally completely covered by an earth mound. The menhirs -- standing stones -- in the background are generally smaller than those in the Ménec alignment and were installed later.
One theory is that the alignments are a giant necropolis, with each stone representing a leader. Each row could represent a different tribe. The dolmen could have been the burial site of a very important person, perhaps a religious figure. Although archeologists have not been able to prove that human remains and artifacts found around dolmens date from the time when the stones were originally set in place, it is a story that appeals to the imagination.
Hope you have a good start to the new week. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your visits, comments, awards and faves.

Low Fog Sunset at Golden Gate Bridge, taken from a small airplane.
The sunset burn w/low fog was predicted by Yiupai sunrise/sunset forecast service.
At last the days are more spring-like and the crocuses are getting a chance to open. I have seen one or two pollinators around so they would get a treat if they visited my crocus pots.
Super wide angle view. I likie the way the palm tree points to the darker line in the clouds towards the top.
Chicago South Shore winds its way through a residential area of Hammond, IN, with cars for Chicago interchange. In 2021, work started here to realign the railroad and remove the reverse curves in an effort to accommodate expansion for commuter agency NICTD. The mainline is now about 40 feet behind where I am standing, and this area is now access and parking for the new Hammond Gateway Station.
