Lichens and mosses are able to survive the nitrogen pollution above I-5, but the tree they've colonized didn't.
With air pollution being an issue in the city, consider letting mosses and lichens live on your property rather than adding to the problem by using a chemical to remove them. They might just be saving your life.

Quite a few Brown Pelicans! In the wild. They congregate around the docks at Robbie's Marina hoping for a handout and a late afternoon snack. There are easily 150+ pelicans in the area! Underneath them swim massive tarpon. They all get along fine.
Robbie's Marina in Islamorada in the Florida Keys is known
for its laid back atmosphere and for feeding the Tarpon at
the docks. Wild and exciting. A must see if you visit the Keys.
History and the back-story of tarpon-feeding at Robbie's Marina:
Robbie and his wife Mona started feeding 'Scarface' 45 years ago. Scarface appeared floundering in the shallow waters near the dock. Robbie saw the large struggling tarpon and thinking it swam in too shallow and had gotten stuck on the bank, went out into the water to free it. He lifted the fish and saw that the right side of its jaw was torn open. Hoping to revive the tarpon, Robbie placed it in the oxygen-rich shrimp tank and called old Doc Roach. The doctor showed up with his wife's mattress needles and some twine, and Scarface became the first known tarpon with stitches! LOL After several days of force-feeding, Scarface showed good recovery and weight gain. Six months later he was released into the waters off the dock. Afterwards, Scarface continued to frequent Robbie's docks, sometimes bringing a friend! Soon more and more of the fish began to appear! Today, the tradition continues, with visitors from all across the world coming to marvel at the spectacle and offer these truly magnificent large creatures a snack. - Thank you for looking.

After a week or so of not being able to shoot, I took matters into my own hands and walked over to this spot well after dark (I only live a few blocks away). I wish there were more cars heading into the city for those red streaks, but oh well. It was nice to be out shooting again.
Driving back from Bacchus Marsh after photographing a confirmation I decided I wanted to do a long exposure of a freeway. I got home, grabbed my camera and went to the closest overpass in Ballarat. As my cable release is broken I could only shoot 30 second exposures with the ISO cranked to 1250. Time to get an intervalometer and do some massive ones everywhere cause I actually loved it!

View of the southbound 101 freeway on Sunday afternoon. This stretch of highway is typically clogged as travelers move toward the Los Angeles area.
nothing special, but i liked how it came out for some reason. taken when the traffic slowed down because of a wreck on the 101 this morning.
i always pull out the camera when i hit traffic, this way, i never mind a traffic jam, it gives me time to take pictures of stuff.
I was loosing light fast here. U401-21 is heading south from Hamlet, NC.

The artist is smart and creative with a wicked sense of humor. First, far from being a freeway, this is a tiny stub of a street just off an industrial area. Second, this is one of the most impoverished areas of Winnipeg.
I wish that I had been a bit smarter and creative in taking this photo. I should have broken off that vile branch instead of trying to minimize its effect.
This newly completed double layers freeways has become very popular for photographers. Since there are Tung blossom this month, I rushed to this shooting spot this evening too. However, the sky was quite hazy. Maybe, I will go back when the sky is clearer.
