New York, Connecticut border south of Kent, Connecticut.
Dave and I hiked from Bull’s Bridge north along the Appalachian Trail along Schaghticoke Ridge with this small stream as our destination.
The water was running because of snow melt and there were small waterfalls, foam eddy currents, and lots of bubbles. The Ricoh GR did some interesting things with the bubbles so I'm posting a few of them.
At Fermilab, there's an old bubble chamber mounted on display as an industrial art piece. So, I snapped a few pictures on a bright sunny day of this very shiny bubble and got exactly what you'd expect: specular highlights all over the place.
This is one of my first cracks at an HDR photo, generated using qtpfsgui on Linux from a single raw photo. It's very noisy at the original size, but I rather like the effect at smaller sizes; it seems fitting, given the subject. In the background on the left, you can see the geodesic dome, another interesting (but somewhat less photogenic) building at FNAL.
Edit: Amazing what a little time spent with software can do. www.getpaint.net/'s noise reduction is really quite good.
There's street art, and there's art in the street. These clear acrylic bubbles on the cobbled street of Duxton Hill are... well, I'm not sure which category they belong. What I do know is that they're part of a pop-up art trail around the area, but the whole meaning of these things is largely left up to you.
One thing that has amazed me is that they've been on the street now (it's a pedestrian-only road) for a week now, and:
1. they're not broken or cracked
2. they're clean, no fingerprints from curious passers-by
3. they've not been marked by any of the legion of stray cats that wander the area.
So what kind of art is this? I guess that depends on the beholder, but right now, I'm digging these weird bubbles.
Also called NGC 7635, Sh2-162, or Caldwell 11. The Bubble Nebula, 7100-ly from earth, is thought to be formed by the solar wind of a central star. Also seen in this image is the Lobster Claw Nebula (Sh2-157), Open Cluster M52, NGC 7538, Sh2-159, and Sh2-161.

Thank you.
The bubble girl works late at the Chinese Markets to sketch a passer by. Taken at Chinatown, Sydney.

A not entirely successful attempt to capture the patterns on a bubbles surface.
Would have liked less bubbles in front of the face, but I only got one shot at it. I need to get a more accommodating model next time :-)
Bubble fun last night in the backyard! AVON bubble bath rocks, it doesnt kill the grass...LOL!

Preeetty. You have no idea how difficult it is to get a shot like this. Particularly when you have two small children attempting to pop said bubbles.
or: Bubble Week, Day Seven
The small tragedy behind this shot is that we lost the tree in our backyard last week (hence the stump). It was an elm, and succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease. We had an arborist/tree removal company come and put it out of its misery. Now we have a big stump and no shade. Sigh.
