Another look at the fantastic Roaring Fork in the Smokies.

The Macro Mondays theme for this week is "Forks"

Willow Fork Park, Houston, TX

It wasn't looking as though the forecasted storms were going to amount to much tonight, but after catching a few flashes in the corner of my eye at home, I dashed out to the local fields outside Beaumaris... and wow... what a display...!

Fork experimentation

This is my titanium camping fork. I photographed the tines end-on for a more abstract look!

You fling the window open and the room is instantly flooded with this outer, peal-laden haze, which is part damp oxygen, part coffee and prayers. No matter what sort of pills, and how many, you've got to swallow this morning, you feel it's not over for you yet. No matter, by the same token, how autonomous you are, how much you've been betrayed, how thorough and dispiriting is your self-knowledge, you assume there is still hope for you, or at least a future. (Hope, said Francis Bacon, is a good breakfast but a bad supper.)

Распахиваешь окно, и комнату вмиг затопляет та уличная, наполненная колокольным гулом дымка, которая частью сырой кислород, частью кофе и молитвы. Неважно, какие таблетки и сколько надо проглотить в это утро, – ты понимаешь, что не все кончено. Неважно и насколько ты автономен, сколько раз тебя предавали, насколько досконально и удручающе твое представление о себе, – тут допускаешь, что еще есть надежда, по меньшей мере – будущее. (Надежда, сказал Фрэнсис Бэкон, хороший завтрак, но плохой ужин.)

Just playing around with my homemade light table...minimally processed through Lightroom. I converted to black and white, and reduced the dehaze to -40, increased contrast and whites. I'm happy with the effect and hope to play around some more with other items ; )

Forkers is an incredibly popular burger restaurant in 東區 here in Taipei. Hour waits are not uncommon and they've since opened a second shop near Zhongshan MRT station to similar demand.

And why? I have no earthly idea other than to think Taiwanese people have broken burger taste buds.

I tried two burgers that night and they were both godawful in opposite ways. One was doused in seasoning and the other was devoid of taste.

The regular cheese burger was dry and way over seasoned with all kinds of flavorings to mask the lack of flavor of the cheap beef they use.

The other burger I tried was advertised as a Wagyu beef burger. I assume they realize you don't over season good beef but I don't think they even bothered salting it. There was no flavor whatsoever. Plus it was also dry and I highly doubt the beef they used was true Wagyu. I've had Wagyu beef, and it has good flavors even if you don't season it at all. This was just bland cheap beef. Minus the salt, add on the dryness, mix in some cheap fake Wagyu, what you get is a cardboard tasting patty.

Going back to why this place is so freaking popular? I can only assume that Taiwanese people like the TGIF-like decoration and colorful photo-filled menus. I much rather think of my compatriots as having no taste in decoration than having no taste in food.

A 30 foot high waterfall on the South Fork Tieton River, Yakima County, Washington. I used a variable neutral density filter for most of the waterfall photos.

Macro Mondays - Forks

Explored 2013-02-22 | #90

Thanks to all of you - thanks for your faves and your comments!

I played around with a fork and a drop of water....

Ein Wassertropf, eine Gabel und ein Glaskeramikherd waren die "Hilfsmittel".

This is the North Fork of the North Fork American River, near Blue Canyon CA. It is named the "Pool of Cold Fire". I was scrambling along the river in this remote canyon in the early morning hours in search of a waterfall. But I came upon this dead-end, a narrow gorge with towering cliffs on each side of the river. The only way to continue was to swim (not with my expensive camera equipment though). Instead, I found this composition and waited for the sunlight to filter down into the gorge. It was a beautiful scene. I hope you enjoy it as well.
