This was an idea of my Flickr friend Jim Hill. I already posted two of those images separately and he proposed that it could make a nice triptych if I included a third one with a modern digital look. He saw more in this triptych as well as he noted that the amount of people in the images could stand for the growing accessibility of photography. Kudos to you, Jim!
If you like this triptych, head over to Jim's page and leave him a few likes. If not, head over there all the more and find something you like. His night images from Chicago stand out and are among the most interesting work here on Flickr.
This also concludes my series of images from Corfu. Tomorrow, a series in Frankfurt will start.
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.
The growth and development of flowers occurs over several weeks from the germination of seeds planted in a ground or container to the time in which flowers bloom. The entire process happens in about five stages for most flowers. Although flower species have varying bloom periods, the general growth and development process is basically the same for all flowers. Moderate variations in the length of time of certain stages may differ by flower species. A Sprout Is Born
The seed begins the germination process during the first five days after being planted. During day 3 of the initial growth and development stage, imbibition begins as the dry seed takes in water from the ground. Next, the root emerges from the seed coat on or about day 4. On day 5, the root begins to extend and develops a root system at one end while a stem forms at the other end. The stem starts the process of making its way upward and eventually past the soil's surface. Hey, Bud
Stage 2 is the stage when a flower's leaves develop. Leaf development usually begins on day 6 and continues to day 26. Leaves begin as tiny rosettes (leaf buds). As the stem begins growing leaves, the development of a flower's primary root structure also culminates usually sometime after day 14. Even though leaf growth does not officially happen until stage 3, the first leaf buds may begin growing after day 18 and continue until day 26. A New Leaf on Life
Leaf growth overlaps slightly between stages 2 and 3 as buds evolve into new leaf growth. But stage 3 officially marks the entire leaf growth period at around day 19. During this stage, all of the leaf buds grow until each one reaches full maturity at about day 29. It's also possible for stage 4 to begin during the latter part (day 26) of the leaf growth stage.
Beginning of the Blossom Day 26 is the day in which most flowers experience inflorescence emergence. In other words, flower buds start appearing on the stem, signifying stage 4 of development. It often occurs toward the end of stage 3 leaf growth; however, it is treated as a separate stage because the period indicates the growth and development exclusively of flowers.
Bloom Times
Stage 5 commences the flower production phase. On approximately day 31, the first flower bud opens. Additional flower buds continue opening throughout a roughly 18-day bloom period until day 49 at which point flower production typically ends.

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.

Took some shots at the Ocean reef marina development again. The new reclaimed land for the Marina is starting to be built on. I always find the simplicity of the water, sky and sea wall elements make for striking photos. On this day the clouds were also making an appearance and added further interest. The colours are always amazing here and the water is mostly a silty yellow/green colour which is best seen when I use the polariser to get rid of the glare. In these shots you can see the effects of varying amounts of polarisation.

Grudziądz is a town located in the northern Poland on the Vistula River, near the Osa River; it ia an urban county situated in Kujawsko - Pomorskie Voivodeship (Province).
The first reference to Grudziądz appears in the document from 1065 - the document sent by Boleslaus the Brave to the St. Benedictine Monastery in Mogilno. Castrum Grudomzch is mentioned as one of the towns from which the monastery received tithe payments.
The etymology of the town's name has been the source of arguments among researchers. Some of them point out that the name derives from the word "gród" (fortified settlement), others claim that the name originates from the word "gruda" (a hard clod of soil, existing in this area in abundance). There are also those, however, who due to the town's close proximity to the border with Prussia, consider the name "Grudziądz" to be of Prussian origin.
In 1231, the Teutonic Order took over the town with the surrounding settlement; at the same time, the Order made diplomatic efforts to eliminate the competition of the Prussian bishop in Chełmno Land and Prussia. The written history of Grudziądz dates back to 1222 and is strongly related to Christian - the missionary bishop of Prussia. In 1299, Meinhard from Kwerfurt, the Land Master of the Teutonic Order, granted the town a location privilege and new charter according to the Chełmno Law.
In 1415, thanks to Michał Kuchmeister, the Great Master of Teutonic Order, the first waterworks supplied by the mill waters could be conducted. However, due to the continuous problems with water supply, and thanks to the permission of King Sigmund August, Trynka Canal was dug in 1552. The Castle of the Teutonic Order was built north of the city in the second half of the 13th century.
Only in the 15th century was the contiunous development of the town possible. After the Order provided the town with a number of economic benefits, Grudziądz became a craft and trade centre. Having few ranaries, the town participated in the corn trade in the north-eastern part of Chełm Land.
The uprising which broke out on January 14, 1454 was soon suppressed on February 8. For over 300 years Grudziądz belonged to the Polish Duchy. In the new circumastances the town became a part of Chełm Voivodeship.
An intensive industrial development in the second half of the 19th century, the construction of the railway line and the bridge on the Vistula River promised well for the future of the town. First, Grudziądz-Jabłonowo (1876), and later Grudziądz - Laskowice (1879) and Grudziądz - Chełmża railway lines were established. In 1885, in the south-eastern suburbs of the town, Central Railway Station was built; around the railway junction the new district was created.
I really do not enjoy the process of taking sunset photos, having to be in the perfect place, at the perfect time is something I have difficulty with - and my lens being incompatible with (sensibly priced) filters doesn't exactly help either, but all in all despite the bitching, I'm pretty happy with how this one came out.
Buildings in strong sunshine, with a background of dark cloud: always one of my favourite types of lighting conditions for photography!
This is Clayton Street, in Newcastle upon Tyne's Grainger Town district, the historic heart of the city centre, incorporating classical streets built by Richard Grainger, a builder and developer, between 1824 and 1841. It is one of the finest townscapes in Europe. These buildings are predominantly four storeys, with vertical dormers, domes, turrets and spikes.
The area decayed quite badly between the 1960s and 1980s, with both the residential population and the number of commerical tenants collapsing thanks to suburbanisation. Around a quarter of the original scheme's buildings were demolished from this period. A programme of property development and environmental enhancement was started in 1993 with Newcastle City Council and the English Heritage to tackle most of the worst buildings at risk and stop the decline of the area. Between 1997 and 2003, city leaders, national government, and the heritage sector worked together to secure £174 million of investment into the area, £146 million from the private sector. This, at least for another generation, secured the future of Grainger Town.
The street is named for John Clayton, antiquarian and town clerk of Newcastle upon Tyne during the nineteenth century. He worked with the builder Richard Grainger and architect John Dobson to redevelop the centre of the city in a neoclassical style and also did much to preserve the Roman-era Hadrian's Wall.

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.
I’ve been thinking recently that there is something missing from flickr, (well something that I haven’t found yet). A kind of place (group) that has the ability to inspire, to welcome experimentation, a place that has a lot more depth than the usual shallow resting place for hundreds of images. I want equality, a place that isn’t run by power obsessed admin's, a place that isn’t a all closed network of buddies, a place that welcomes true thought, true learning, true experimentation. I want to visit to contribute, to experiment, to crit others work, to have a balanced group of people that respect others values. I want a place that doesn’t have any irritating insecure people trying to tell you how good they are. Yes I'm wanting a lot and I do get these things from different groups (id say about 3 or 4 that I visit regularly) but I want them all in one place.
To be honest, I would like to cherry pick the people I value (for many reasons) and get them together and create a new group that would be fantastic. But I also don’t want to upset anybody…and god not another group, please no not more groups.
I also have been wondering if there isn’t a better way of developing ideas, sparking inspiration. For me I would love to get more involved in a discussion-based group concerning the ideas behind photography. Kind of the deeper physiological elements to why we take photos, what the viewer feels, presenting challenging concepts, blar blar blar. I feel that to push in these directions is fascinating. As some of you may have observed, I've been trying to get this type of thing going in the threads of some groups, but it doest seem to be working. What I'm asking here I suppose is does anybody know of any groups that offer this type of thing or do I have to set one up, or do I try and push one of the groups I'm involved in into this direction? Also I wonder if there is any others out there, who are committed enough and have the desire to challenge them selves, push themselves in different directions. I only know of a few people here on flicker that I ‘Guess’ would welcome this type of direction but id truly love to meet more. This isn’t about just image quality (that is a given) its about ideas, experimentation, forging new ground (if that’s possible)
Anyway, any thoughts out there?
Note: this is taken on Constantine beach at sunset this summer. I got down very low and used a polarizer to maintain the foreground leading lines. Anyway I hope you like it.
