Today, in a middle of a sunny and hot afternoon, I found myself out there scouting for new flowers I have not photographed yet...but when I saw this purple aster which I took so many times before, I just could not resist clicking on one more time. This flower is amazing beauty. I love the symmetry, the colors and the overall esthetics.
the foremost resource is the photographer himself. It is his authentic response to life and his urge to embody it in superb photographic form that is the active root of our esthetics.

A beaver lodge and dam is a fascinating site to visit. One can marvel about how ingeniously beavers have learned to evade their much faster predators--the lodge can only be accessed by swimming underwater. Another aspect about beavers is that they can fashion sticks into a dam that holds back water--I couldn't do that. I also wonder also if beavers have a sense of esthetics--do they revel in fall colors, as we do?
Beavers have taken a liking to the Ruby Anthracite Creek, which flows between the Ruby Mountains and the Anthracite Mountains in western Colorado. Three dams are visible in this frame, but there are many more.
This made me wonder, once again, whether beavers have a sense of esthetics--they work so hard to create reflecting pools to live in. But on the other hand, one might say that they build dams to build homes safe from predators--their lodges have underwater entrances.

The Ancient Limber Pine stand is in the lee of the Continental Divide, just 5 miles south and west of Fairplay, Colorado. Many of the trees on this site are in excess of 1,000 years old. Dead snags are interspersed with trees that hang on, year after year, under fierce, battering winds and extreme cold at 11,200 feet on Sheep Mountain.
Live trees may have limbs or a portion of the trunk that have lost their bark, exposing wood to the elements. Many trees (including this one) show burn marks from lightning strikes. The colors and textures of raw wood delight artistic esthetics.
Here's another installment in my Monarch Butterfly story. You might remember I posted my first pupa, hanging low in a Pride of Madeira, over a month ago. It finally emerged 32 days later, way after the slew of those hanging in my garage eaves. So I post this certainly not for the esthetics with all the busyness and shadows and highlights, but because it is #1. Of note, the timing here is just about 2.5 minutes from when I spotted the first crack in the pupa. Especially, though, I like that it shows how kinked up the wings are from being tightly wrapped. I find it interesting too that the rear wings - the lighter (bottom side) color at the right, straighten out first, while it takes quite a bit longer for the larger forewings. You can actually see how the right forewing has straightened out a little more than the left. Fascinating stuff. She emerged pretty late in the afternoon, so she hung all night and didn't fly till the next morning. I'm guessing it took her a lot longer to emerge because she was in shade almost entirely all day long and maybe not as warm as the ones hanging in the protection of the garage eaves.

I want to make it clear that the foremost resource is the photographer himself. It is his authentic response to life and his urge to embody it in superb photographic form that is the active root of our esthetics :-)

No one likes vultures, but they fulfill an important role and I find these black vultures stunning! Here is one resting in the trees, in a partially shady area, so I had to recall Tanizaki’s masterful essay on esthetics…. Near the Conowingo Dam, Maryland.

After a certain high level of technical skill is achieved, science and art tend to coalesce in esthetics, plasticity, and form. The greatest scientists are always artists as well. Albert Einstein

I have discovered a new way of post processing without the need of HDR. Photoshop blending on Layers. A Combination of soft light, exposure and multiply filters and some merging to include a factory for visual esthetics
Santa Fe southbound freight at "South Junction" behind two "CF7" and F7 with 101 cars + caboose. The train has passed through Wichita Union Terminal, on a stretch of multiple main tracks that lie between "South Junction" and "North Junction." At either junction the Santa Fe and Rock Island came together on their north/south alignment, and I believe that MoPac got into the act as well. The CF7 was the result of converting an F-unit into a hood unit. My friends in Tulsa foamdom referred to these as a "U-G-L-Y-One", while the rebuilt GP7's and GP9's became known as "U-G-L-Y-Two." Esthetics wasn't Santa Fe's intention; usefulness as branch, local, and switching power was. I doubt Llanuza could forgive them!

After Yulia Biriukova arrived in Toronto from the USSR with her architect sister Alexandra in 1929, she was quickly swept into the circle of the Group of Seven, becoming the companion of J.E.H. MacDonald’s son, Thoreau. She revelled in the esthetics of the male form – particularly the husky Canadian “types” of her newfound homeland. She copied her background view from a 1911 sketch by MacDonald, but the sitter himself, and the strategically placed axe handle, could well have been a confection of her imagination.

and Louise Bourgeois, most certainly was,

Styles change. As time moves on, it’s inevitable. Take these two locomotives designed for passenger service in America. Southern Pacific Electro-Motive Division E9 No. 6051 was built in 1954 for service on trains such as the Daylight and Lark, while Amtrak Siemens SC-44 ITDX No. 4621 was outshopped in 2017 for regional Amtrak service in the midwest. What happened? Why does functionality so trump esthetics between the two? Couldn’t we design and build a great-looking passenger locomotive today?
Siemens calls the SC-44 a “Charger” locomotive. Car maker Dodge came out with the Charger in 1965, and they still produce an automobile that is now in it’s sixth, or is it seventh generation. The current Dodge Charger doesn’t look anything like the first, and it’s good design and looks make it popular today with a strong following of its own.
A passenger locomotive built today certainly doesn’t, or shouldn’t, look like the E9 of 1954. But why can’t we have a “Charger” that looks nice too?
