This small series of 3 are all done in the same colors but with a different feel to each. They were painted in conjunction with a current series that I am still working on. Same colors (as I seemed to have mixed up vats of the colors), but completely different set of parameters for this three than the series. In these I am not trying to encapsulate sadness (which is proving difficult for a usually cheerful person).
An abstract landscape is unusual for me, so is definately an experiment.
And I have to say a huge "Thank You" to everyone who takes the time to look at the work. Even greater thanks to those who like and comment. Really, it is a gift in this time and place that we can circumvent the gatekeepers.
When I saw the report that the Leucistic Bald Eagle made an appearance in the morning I knew I had to take my chances at this super rare raptor. I left at 4a.m. and drove two hours South. I had to wait for the sun to rise, but found him immediately crunching bones from a fish he was holding down on the mudflats. Shortly after he perched just above us next to the walking trail. Still no light but extremely close. He was very calm as he did not flinch when a jogger came by. He flew to this Eucalyptus several times and perched calmly for several minutes. The light was starting to filter through the leaves in the background as this majestic beauty posed for us. It was a very awe inspiring experience I will never forget. We had a solid two hours to photograph him that morning. He eventually flew off into the distance and we were admiring and reflecting on this one of a kind beauty.
Uncorruptable and timeless, they are to store away and treasure forever.

"Algunas ventanas encapsuladas" Este es el título en español...Ponerlo en ingles, es por si a estos señores de "Flickr" se les ocurre fijarse en ella para ese explore que me vetan una y otra vez... ¡Yo también estoy aquí...!
Bueno, como se que eso no va a suceder...Aquí os dejo estas ventanas encapsuladas para el que guste mirarlas.
Por cierto, esta fachada era la más fea de la emblemática calle por la que paseaba...Desentonaba totalmente con el resto de las aristocráticas arquitecturas, todas ellas, llenas de maravillosas forjas donde asomarse a la calle... Pero bueno, a veces el patito feo se convierte en cisne según el ojo que lo mire.
Thank you very much for your time and for your faves!
(Just giving a fave is perfect if you like the photo, thank you!)
“It's strange. How hollow I feel. Like there might be echoes inside of me. Like I'm one of those chocolate rabbits they used to sell around Easter, the ones that were nothing more than a sweet shell encapsulating a world of nothing. I'm like that. I encapsulate a world of nothing.”

With dense fog encapsulating Belpre, Job 1 gets to work at Orion switching out carbon hoppers, Parkersburg interestingly had very little fog at all despite being just across the river.
This is another from the Bulb on an iPad Showing Something Lurid series taken at a fun evening with local photographers.
Unlike the previous one this one wasn't focus-stacked. It's also the right way up and shows you the iPaddle. See flic.kr/p/2orM5ap for more detail if you are interested.
Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100x :)

encapsulated lights in oval soft gels

- soft-gels
All modern soft-gel encapsulation uses variations of a process developed by R. P. Scherer in 1933. His innovation was to use a rotary die to produce the capsules, with the filling taking place by blow molding. This method reduced wastage, and was the first process to yield capsules with highly repeatable dosage.
Softgels can be an effective delivery system for oral drugs, especially poorly soluble drugs. This is because the fill can contain liquid ingredients that help increase solubility or permeability of the drug across the membranes in the body. Liquid ingredients are difficult to include in any other solid dosage form such as a tablet.

a tiny portion of the staggering baroque encapsulation of space that is cádiz cathedral. it is built of pale, fine-grained stone that is struck each day with a delicate, powdery light, the effect of which is beautifully multiplied by the intersecting cobwebby nets stretching languorously across the entire roof space, anchored by myriad baroque entablatures that echo and re-echo as far as the eye can wander. for more images in the eclectic series click here
A view that encapsulate the ever-changing city landscape of Tokyo quite well.
The shot was taken from World Trade Center (now demolished) towards the Rainbow bridge and Odaiba - a big, artificial island in the bay. And the Ferris wheel, in the distance, is the Palette Town Ferris Wheel - which was closed down in 2022 after having been somewhat of a skyline fixture since its inauguration in 1999. At the time of its construction it was the largest Ferris wheel in Japan.

Was immer diese Kapsel birgt, schön anzuschauen ist sie allemal.
It's not Fort Knox, but it is a proof of the ingenuity of nature.

Спасибо Юрию за прекрасные картинки
Well ... one month's intended absence turned into nearly three!!! (missed you all though, and flickr's been on my mind a lot).
Back now, though not on an everyday basis as work is keeping me busy. Thanks for the messages and the good luck wishes for the exam.
Mega catch up to do, so bear with me ... :-)
I find myself standing at the edge of a road that leads to Zahara de la Sierra in Andalusia, captivated by the scene unfolding before me. The photograph captures a vast expanse of harvested agricultural fields, stretching out as far as the eye can see. It's a breathtaking sight, with gentle rolling hills adorned in a beautiful tapestry of vibrant green, created by the meticulously patterned crop cuts.
The fields, now empty of their bountiful harvest, seem to invite a moment of reflection and appreciation for the hard work and dedication of the farmers who tend to this land. The earthy scent of the recently harvested crops lingers in the air, mingling with the fresh breeze that brushes against my face.
As I gaze upon the undulating landscape, I am struck by the harmony and symmetry of the crop patterns. It's as if an artist has meticulously painted the land with strokes of green, creating a masterpiece of nature and human endeavor. The fields ripple and dance with a sense of tranquility, their curves and contours weaving an enchanting story of seasons passed.
The sunlight bathes the scene in a warm, golden glow, casting long shadows that accentuate the natural contours of the land. It's a serene and idyllic sight, one that beckons me to lose myself in the peacefulness of the countryside.
In the distance, I catch a glimpse of Zahara de la Sierra, a picturesque village nestled amidst the rolling hills. Its whitewashed houses and red-tiled roofs stand out against the verdant backdrop, offering a charming contrast to the agricultural expanse.
As I take in the beauty of the scene captured in the photograph, I am reminded of the harmony between nature and human cultivation. The fields reflect the rich agricultural traditions of Andalusia, where the land and its people are intricately connected in a timeless cycle of sowing and reaping.
This photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty that can be found in simplicity and the profound impact that human touch can have on the landscape. It encapsulates the essence of the countryside, inviting me to appreciate the splendor of the earth's offerings and the labor of those who nurture it.

Created specifically for the "Gratitude" challenge at Award Tree:
www.flickr.com/groups/awardtree/discuss/72157718782212166/
This encapsulates a couple things that on a daily basis I am grateful for...
1) When I was a little boy, I would always dream and fantasize about living in a big city. I couldn't wait to get the hell out of Florida! Im grateful for my adventurous spirit that I had in my twenties. On a whim...I bought a bus ticket to SF and spent four days on buses traveling to what would be my new home. To this day when Im on the Bay Bridge, I always think and remember when I was on that Greyhound bus...the sun rising, and I saw SF for the first time....I was ecstatic...and I will always call SF my home. Ive lived here for 29 years, and will never move away....even if I were to become homeless again.
2) As I mentioned....I was homeless here In SF. I succumbed to my addiction, and willingly became homeless so that I would have more money to sustain my addiction. How crazy was that.....that is the insanity of addiction. I was homeless for over two years. I slept in parks and on benches, and ate at churches that would supply food. It wasnt until I adressed my addiction, that I got honest with myself that my life began to turn around. Ive had my struggles, and some relapses.....but I never returned to the streets, thank God. I moved into an apartment in the Tenderloin and lived there for several years until moving to where I now live.
I live in the SOMA district, in a small high-rise, on the top floor. The artwork posted here is my view. Ive lived here for 3 years, and I have 4 years of recovery and sobriety.
These.....are things that I am grateful for on a daily basis....I have tears in my eyes as I write this as I never want to forget that I was homeless and where I slept, and how if I idnt get into recovery, I would never be able to live in this beautiful space.......and I always think of when I was little.....dreaming of living in a big city.
This image of an ice encapsulated juniper in my garden looked a lot less dramatic in the original due to the out of focus areas of the body of the tree which is now the black negative space. The approach taken gives the image an almost studio controlled setting quality... The title chosen, for those who don't know, makes reference to the fact that juniper berries are used in the making of gin.
This captivating photo encapsulates the exhilarating experience of swimming among sharks in their natural habitat. The graceful movement of these majestic creatures, coupled with the crystal-clear waters, creates a mesmerizing scene that embodies the beauty and wonder of the ocean. This snapshot serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring moments that await those brave enough to explore the depths of the sea and embrace the unknown.
A photo that tries to encapsulate the spirit of the moment we're living through as a global community: the solitude and darkness will fade, and light will rise to warm our days again.

I've come to realize lately from your comments that there is a longing to see more ocean, and I've also realized that I don't photograph the ocean nearly enough! I myself, returning from my recent two-day trip, wanted to see the ocean first, even before going home. I actually feel that longing every day.
My title is taken from a Tears for Fears song called Rivers of Mercy:
If by magic, you mean the ocean
If by tragic, you mean the end
I only came across this song a couple of months ago but was immediately struck to the core by those mysterious opening words. Even without any further context - or maybe especially without any other context, I feel these two lines are quite possibly the most beautiful lyrics ever written! They seem to encapsulate a dimension of truth so deep and profound that it makes me tremble inside. I see reflected my own reactions to the sea as well as questions about the whole of humanity.
After deciding that I wanted to post an ocean photo with this title, I went out with my best lens and quickly discovered what a challenge it is to deliberately photograph "the ocean." The play of light, colors, waves is always changing. I literally said out loud to myself: "I could take a picture of the ocean every day and never get that ONE definitive photo!" And so an idea was born. It's time for a new Flickr project: 52 weeks of ocean photos!
It will be my gift to everyone with the hunger to see the ocean, and it will be my own never-ending pursuit trying to capture the magic.

On a photo walk I captured these tiny buds completely enclosed by ice. Winter makes for some excellent photo opportunities! I hope we have more snow this season....
This plant (a type of fig) in my backyard has been very essential for attracting birds. They can't seem to resist feeding on them once they turn red. They have been very useful for my backyard bird photography :D
TRIVIA: This, as most figs are, is not actually a fruit, but a flower. Think of them as an encapsulated flower. They can only be pollinated from the inside so most figs require a specific type of wasp to burrow into them to get pollinated.
This is what a "ripe" one looks like. A bird accidentally dropped it -> www.flickr.com/photos/akhombre/16633194270/in/dateposted/
I've been staring at this for over an hour as it seemingly has encapsulated the crossroads our state and this country has found itself. This was taken on a gloomy day that was so bright it hurt the eyes and yet I couldn't have told you where the sun was to save my life. These gentlemen were erecting a wonderfully vibrant sign in the rain between this jaunty fountain and the once magnificent State Capital which now stands in need of some attention. Sporadic park goers came and went, no one stayed long. There was some laughter, but nothing loud, the Cherry trees were in bloom, but drooped with heavy droplets and showed dully in the diffused light while being photographed by people wearing coats in the Spring. Lying on the wet pavement one can see discarded flowers of vibrant yellow near the gray distorted reflection of the Capitol Rotunda. Inspiration, hope? Not until this line in the sand mentality is gone, the 'you are either with me or against me' attitude that our politicians seemed to have morphed into. It's We the People, I can disagree with you and you with me, it's the moving forward together part that's missing, let's get back to that. Don't get me started on the assault on the thin blue line where we can't even arrest thieves.....
Anyway....
This shot threw me down a rabbit hole that I knew existed but have striven to ignore for several years and now I find myself screaming from the bottom.
PS If you are into sado masochisme (sp?) try photographing a randomly shooting water feature with traffic passing through the shot, good luck. :)
