for Smile on Saturday theme unusual planters.
I haven't got unusual planters zo I went out for a walk. And there they were. The perfect objects, in someone's garden. So I rang the doorbell and a nice lady opened the door. I asked her if I could take a picture of her planters, explained why. Ofcourse I could. And here is the result.
A zinc garbage bin and a zinc sitting bath.
This is a much older shot from a few years back. It amuses me sometimes what I might find interesting to shoot. This was at my workplace which alway provided me with cool subjecy manner to photograph.
Reality is becoming vague.
Happy Saturday.

A guy playing the ostrich game is a possibility, as I want sometimes the burry my head and forget Pandemic ever existed. More likely it is looking for treasure as on Sunday before the garbage is picked up you could easily furnish your living room or equip the kitchen.
For those who are not familiar with English the saying goes: 'One man trash; other man treasure'.

Some songs are better listened to with headphones: “Paradox” by Mogli.
“I’m a living paradox
But who says I’m not one?
I breathe I breathe I breathe.”
1960s USA city street, featuring a damaged car, garbage bins overflowing with trash, and pedestrians walking.
beneath the clinical grid of a city’s infrastructure, a man moves through shadow with the slow elegance of repetition. there’s no urgency — just the rhythm of necessity, carried in cardboard and plastic.
Cropped... then cropped again. Think I got what I was after in the end :)

Another shot from the archives, taken close to a year ago.
Photographers are light collectors. Without light we have no image. Golden hour light is so much fun to shoot in, as I find that just about anything can look great in it. Looking at the time this was taken I am guessing that my camera's set time was off by an hour. Likely it was taken at 9:16 AM.
I pass by these garbage and recycling bins on the way to the park, and have shot them more than once. They are quite beat up and have some great textures, plus they have interesting shapes, and since they are basically aligned in a row, some satisfying compositions can be found in them.
In this shot I wanted the hill at the park to be visible to give a bearing as to the location.
No golden hour light this morning, just grey with very light snow. Still cold, but each day is a bit better than the last. Presently -22C and expected to stay there all day. Checking an updated forecast this morning it looks like we will be out of the deep freeze this weekend. I am certainly looking forward to it. I am sure that with the snow and wind we have had recently that the park will look much different than when I saw it last when there was little snow cover.
A couple stands outside the remote Lighthouse of Ponta do Albernaz which sits atop a cliff on the Northwest tip of the Island of Flores in the Azores. A lighthouse was first planned for the settlement of Ponta Delgada on the east coast in 1883. It was never built when in 1902 a commission on lighthouse postponed the plans in order to modernize the design and study the best location for a lighthouse. They came up with a controversial and unexpected proposal: Build a first-order light, with an equidistant beacon providing rotation at 5 second intervals on the promontory of Ponta do Albernaz about 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) away from the settlement of Ponta Delgada. That elevated position along the western coast would allow visibility as approached from the west, to the east in Corvo as well as the entire northwest / north coast of Flores.
In what was reported to be a friendly transaction, 5,525 square kilometres (2,133 sq mi) of pastureland was expropriated (at the cost of $3.500 reis) from property-owner João Lourenço in 1922. Construction commenced soon afterward. That construction, however, was a challenge as there was no access to the site by road from Ponta Delgada or any other location on Flores.The plans were adapted to the realities of the situation and the lighthouse was equipped with a third-order dioptoric beacon with a 500 millimetres (20 in) focal length. Moved by a clockwork turntable, the light had a range of 28 miles (45 km) range and was powered by a diesel generator. The lighthouse commenced operation on 28 January 1925, and utilized a lamp powered by a diesel generator.
Many modification have been made since it first started operation. In 1938, the light was converted to incandescent light which allowed the beacon to extend its range to 35 miles (56 km). In 1956, generating cells and a 3000watt/110 volt lamp were installed. In 1960, the site finally became connected to a telephone network. Later other improvement were made including expanding the lighthouse, and finally in 1983 replacing the light with a 1000 Watt/120 Volt halogen lamp.
Today, this is the only lighthouse in Portugal not linked to the national electrical network. Yes, a remote lighthouse.

For the Macro Mondays Theme:
Miniature.
Unfortunately my first choice photo for this week's theme was rejected and that is why I am now posting my 2nd choice here. You can read why this is my 2nd choice in the description below:
A bit out of my comfort zone. Actually, I don't really like photographing miniature dolls. But sometimes you just have to try something. But still, it's not my cup of tea. I borrowed these figures from my husband who has a model railway. I like them there, but not really in front of my camera. In this modern age we have to take care of all kinds of pollution, including that on the digital highway.
Thank you for your time, faves and comments, it's much appreciated.
Happy Macro Mondays

I was wandering around downtown today at lunch, going streets I don't usually visit when I happened upon a park that looked out to Elgin Street, the view was the back of a few businesses and this caught my eye.
Urban art, hidden from the street view. Fun colours, and fun display. So of course the camera came out and a few shots were snapped.
Gotta love exploring your own city every now and then.
Hope everyone has had a good day.
