Shooting a lot at night in deserted places I sometimes feel the presence of the activity present during busier times. I undertook a series to try to capture that feeling. I took shots of busy places at night when they were quiet then came back & took multiple shots from exactly the same spot when they were busy. Figures from those daytime shots have been added (at less than full transparency) to the night base shot. This image is the result of combining elements of daytime shots with the base night shot.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
I was in the middle of taking this 2 minute exposure when a surfer walked out to the edge of the water and just stood still for the rest of the exposure. It turned into a rather cool result as you can see him in the photo but it looks like you are seeing through him as if he were a ghost.

Location : Cica Ghost's Planet exhibition

Very cool exhibit. I love the feeling of whimsey, retro sci-fi, and touch of kawaii in an otherworldly setting.
It's important to use regional windlight or personal windlight to get that purple sky that Cica Ghost put in. You're not going to find it in the regular list of sky windlights.
I tried to do a youtube livestream walking through Cica Ghost's exhibit using the Black Dragon viewer for the first time. And while I experienced the walk through perfectly with everything rezzing for me fast-- no greys and smooth animations, for some reason the livestream wasn't buffering so it ended up looking like I was jumping from picture to picture except at the very end when the livestream started to catch the actual walking. It's too bad because there were some cool animations there and I liked the dance at the end. Not sure what the glitch was. I'm new at machinima for longer than 2-10 minutes.

I do like the black dragon viewer -- loads fast. Not sure what the glitch was in the livestream tho but things rezzed for me quickly. It also has a lot of shortcut commands for the camera and actions which I hope to use more often in filming as I become familiar with the black dragon.
Another take on the long abandoned Wild West attraction of Buzzards Gulch near the small town of Rodden in northwest Illinois. Buzzards Gulch featured horse rides,a general store, saloon, and an old steam train replica. It closed at least 20 years ago and has been slowly falling in the rushing creek that runs right behind it.....
This was my pet Ghost Mantis. I named him Patrick as a joke reference to the movie Ghost but now I'm wondering if I should have named him Bacon Head.
These guys are native to Africa but this specimen was captive bred.

"Today I'm kinda feelin' like a ghost
Call my friends but ain't nobody home
Tell myself I'm fine but I don't really know
I'm just scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone
I never let it show
But I feel like a missed call on a phone
Tryna live my life, pay-as-you-go
But I'm so scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone
You know I'm like a ghost, sometimes I have to fade
And it haunts me that I have to be this way
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better
But I always seem to disappear again
You know I'm like a ghost, I see it in your face
And it haunts me that I have to be this way
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better
But I always seem to disappear again
You know I'm like a ghost"
Czech Republic. Kostel Svateho Jiri (St. George’s Church) was finished and consecrated in 1352, but over the next 300 years it experienced decidedly more than its fair share of devastating fires and other spooky (according to locals) events. When, in 1968, part of the roof collapsed during a funeral service, it proved to be the final straw for the fleeing congregation. They decided to go ahead and admit what they’d known all along – the place was haunted as shit.
South Western Trains Sprinter unit 159020 cuts a sinister appearance at St Denys station, Southampton as it hustles through with the 8.05pm Reading - Salisbury Reception Line (5Y73) empty stock move.
Was there a driver in the cab? Not entirely apparent from here.....

Ghost (or corpse) plant, Monotropa uniflora, is a parasitic plant that contains no chlorophyll so it can't generate energy from sunlight. It is a mycoheterotroph, and so is the host of certain species of mycorrhizal fungi.
Ghost brides wear black b/c wearing white would be like, you know, why bother.
This is a real photo of a real person, obviously digitally manipulated....with some flourishes added.
It's here. It's Halloween. :-))
I thought I'd close with a not so creepy photo....and least I hope not creepy. (remember, she's real ;-)
This concludes my run of the Halloween Horror Follies. I again thank you all for the views and comments and faves.
It's been a lot of fun for me being able to share them with you. And you've been enormously kind, supportive and likewise fun.
I'm going to now take a little break from Flickr for just a bit.
Happy Halloween (or whatever) and with that I send you all my most sincere, heartfelt, fondest BOO!!!
I haven't done an abstract shot for quite a long time, and yes, this was completely by accident. Thanks to the inspiration of other macro photographers, I was scrutinising the moss growing on the trees locally, happened upon this unusual plant growth from a pocket of moss and so, on the Nikkor 55-200mm I affixed the DCR250 and thanks to the awkward focus points, I had to switch to manual, rocking on my ankles I got this shot, in PP I noticed it looked so Alien and yet ghostly at the time.
Thus it got me thinking, albeit all things are energetic wave form information, be in one realm of any given dimension, 3D, 4D, or 5D, spirits are absolute, so thus, isn't it unusual how we categorise Aliens and Ghosts into secular partitions? An Alien can surely have a spirit thus upon expiration of "physical" life, can go on energetically to the next realm as a Spirit. Concluding that Homosapiens, Aliens and Ghosts are in fact one and the same thing, acutely a conscious multiplicity of differing, interchangeable and energetic Interdimensional, waveform information constructs of infinite awareness.
Psst: Guess what? You never actually die.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
On a road trip through part of the southwest. Yesterday we had the pleasure of spending time in beautiful Ghost Ranch, New Mexico....where Georgia O'Keefe lived and painted.
I composed this image of a ghost town building in an advanced state of decline during a road trip to SE Alberta, Canada and a visit to the ghost town of Dorothy.
Dorothy was a thriving small town until its nearby mine closed and the trains no longer stopped there. A few hardy souls still live in Dorothy, but the above is an example of what surrounds them, as nature retakes the land.
I composed this image of an abandoned historic farm building while visiting the hamlet of Rowley, Alberta (population 11), a place now characterized as an Alberta ghost town.
For those interested, the history of this town is presented below.
Rowley (like many other prairie towns) was settled around 1910 by the families of nearby farmers to efficiently collect and load farm products onto trains bound for Calgary. The soils in the Rowley region are ideal for agriculture due to their high fertility.
It wasn’t long before the town of Rowley became a hub of activity: large fields were planted, harvested, and transported through the Rowley train station. Between 1915 and 1929, the local farmers built stores, banks, and other services in town so that they didn’t have to travel long distances to get what they needed. A school, post office, and church were built and Rowley was officially connected by rail to the rest of the province.
The Great Depression experienced across the entirety of North America had no mercy on its relentless tear across western towns. Rowley was no exception to the struggles of widespread drought and market collapse.
The grain industry lost most of its value. Farmers – used to dealing with hardships – toughed the economic ruin out and did their best to provide for their families and continue building the community despite the market. Farmers who had overextended themselves upgrading their farms and livelihoods were left being unable to afford the upkeep of their farm and business in town began to close.
By the 1940s people started packing up their belongings and using that new train station to leave town. Rowley, Alberta was in decline. The municipal district office was moved out of Rowley and fires had leveled many homes and businesses.
When Alberta’s highway system was constructed in the 1950s, Rowley was bypassed entirely and left behind. These roads made it easy for young people to leave Rowley in favour of Drumheller, Calgary, or Edmonton. In the 1950s, both the hotel and curling rink burned down and were never replaced. The school and railway station both closed down in 1965.
Bodie is an original mining town from the late 1800’s. What’s left today stands in a state of “arrested decay” and is maintained by the California State Parks System, who took over the town in 1962 to make it a State Historic Park.
for "Crazy Tuesday" theme is "Light"
listen :
Oh my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea, yeah
Lonely rivers sigh 'Wait for me, wait for me'
I'll be coming home, wait for me
