I loved the shadows the hot air balloon cast on the fields and trees we flew by.

Below are more aerial shots, the majority of countryside we saw was in rural areas & farmers fields. The bottom image is a new development in Oak Bluff with impressive show homes.

I noticed a series of clumping flowering bushes on this beach at the ocean reef marina development site. They are exquisite bushes about 1m round with dainty flowering heads. I have no idea what they are but want to salvage them in some way. They will be destroyed as part of the development over the next few months. It is terribly sad to see such beautiful things destroyed. I will update you on whether Im able to salvage anything from them. At present they remain unidentified by me. Such a shame.

Photo 3 from the Des Moines Series

 

Mural on a building side in downtown Des Moines, Iowa

 

"You can almost hear her gasp!

 

A blonde woman from a vintage comic strip looks in wide-eyed shock at the graffiti spreading across the wall of a building downtown. ....

 

Weber ....The artist is known for politically and socially charged artwork along the lines of the current exhibition he guest-curated at Moberg Gallery, which helped arrange the Workspace commission.

 

But the new mural’s message is more subtle, he said. The blonde woman represents “the overall American consumer” or a “more traditional” Des Moines citizen reacting to downtown’s rapid growth. Partially hidden among the graffiti tags are Dopey from Disney’s “Snow White” and a pair of Smurfs, whose woodland habitat is threatened by development.

 

“In any city in America, there are murals everywhere. In Oakland, you can’t go two blocks without seeing one,” Weber said, praising downtown Des Moines’ own murals by artists Chris Vance, Van Holmgren and others. “Hopefully, in another year or two, we’ll have twice as many.”

 

Further development and change of perspective, in life and in creativity is always a gain for yourself and also for the people with whom you are in communication. The photo is a small project in which new ideas were implemented. Thank you for the support and implementation by my friend.

and the change of light and color

this photo was captured just a quarter of an hour earlier - still, blue is dominating ...

Huge abandoned Industrial complex

Set in a gated community amidst nurturing green and the white glory of the pagoda dogwood, this condominium birdhouse development offers luxury apartments and stylish single homes. It is situated in the Children's Garden of Ellyn's LOST GARDEN.

 

NOW! What are YOU doing about the latest iteration of Flickr??

** SmugMug - who conjured up that name?! From having looked it over, I can't see staying. To me, it seems that too many things are happening at once!

It's that time of the year again. Hiawatha #336 arrives Chicago behind the class Amtrak B32-8WH which is subbing for a Charger that shit out a few days prior. The searchlight installations at the east end of Morgan Street were installed in the early 1980s.

 

Real estate development has exploded in the West Loop over the past decade. The Fulton Labs on the right were completed last year, and 345 N. Morgan on the left was completed a few months ago (still under construction when this picture was taken). The latter was built by Sterling Bay which is also overseeing the redevelopment of the former ADM flour mill. What you see here is only a fraction of what's to come to the West Loop in the next few years.

Said Bear found some ribbon and decided it would look better on him than a jam jar. He likes mauve against green. So do I, so harmony prevails.

...as in I'm pretty sure being upside down is good for their brain development. Don't quote me on that though. Unbelievably this is my fifth explore in 5 days!!!!!

The always changing skyline of Perth. Here new buildings near the zoo.

Amid overdevelopment along a busy freight and commuter rail corridor, Utah Railway's RUT312 local passes through CP C784 Salt Lake City with 24 cars on Oct. 29, 2022.

If you've never had the pleasure of meeting a deer fly before, just visit Iowa in the summer sometime. This female will lay her eggs on vegetation hanging over water or wet soil. Upon hatching, the larvae eat organic matter in the mud, including tiny critters there. They stay buried in the mud all winter and pupate there the following spring before adult deer flies emerge. Females need a blood meal for egg development and often try to get it from us or another unlucky animal. Males are harmless and drink flower nectar.

Testing out the Canon 5D in daily situations. This was taken on a lot next to my daughter's school - the far background is around the Las Vegas strip. Lots of construction going on notwithstanding the bad economy.

Day 25 (v 16.0) - primarily research, and not much of that.

Growth halted on this little snowflake when it met it's destiny early, and floated down to Earth.

more than 30 years ago a trip to the province meant stepping back in time . provincial life was a laid back rural community. people in those days will take a stroll in the park just before dusk and would normally be home before it gets too dark. so for the city dweller a quick break in the province is a welcome relief from the busy , chaotic city life. fast forward 30 years later, 2019, this is how most popular provinces look now, new malls, more establishments and other modern conveniences, a replica of a major city in a smaller scale.

...backing onto green space.
