The idea of a snap landscape has long intrigued me. You know, the methods that (some) street photography embodies - the capturing of a decisive moment, the unique moment, split seconds - brought to landscapes. The majority of my landscapes are productions of thought and action. I don't mind this, I love waiting in the slow down world of pinhole photography. But at the same time, much landscape photography is not about split seconds... seconds maybe, but not split seconds. There are few decisive moments that seem to be found out there. And yes, it is a different world beyond where the sidewalks end, but that doesn't mean that I can't try seeing with eyes I don't usually bring out there. Why not try a little candid landscape photography.

A wee thing to tickle my curiosity sticking out of a workshop door.
A 72 Mustang 302 Coupe in bright yellow.
A group of migrant agricultural labour working in a rice field near Ludhiana, Punjab.
Next to the field, the farm owner and his family and friends were having a Sunday get-together.
For the labourers, who come from a different state and culture and usually suffer in economic destitution, it seemed like a strange spectacle that had them filled with curiosity and intrigue.
This image shows manhole to periscope wall, valve wheels for flooding and blowing. Hanwheels for periscope gear, air pressure gauges. The UB-110 sunk after attacking a merchant shipping convoy near Hartlepool in July 1918. It was then salvaged and transferred to Swan Hunter Wigham Richardson Ltd. Dry Docks (Wallsend), with an order to restore her to fighting state. The order cancelled following Armistice and she was scrapped thereafter.

Woodford Folk Festival 2017. The festival runs annually for 6 days and 6 nights from Christmas till after New Years. It is located in a very rural area about 100km north west of Brisbane. This year it is the 31st time the event has been held. They annually tend to get about 130.000 visitors. Most of them camping on site. There are about 438 events held in 35 performance venues. About 2000 performers take part. Lots of national and international acts. As it is the hottest (and usually the wettest) time of the year it is quite a feat. Accommodation is simple. Electricity only at central points. Wifi sketchy. So it is just sweat, mud and fun. (and very little sleep). Lots of street performers also roam the 'streets'. Lots of workshops, lots of yoga. obviously. And so on. A good way to see in the new year

This is an intriguing landmark at Katara Village in Doha, Qatar. I'm afraid I know very little about it. Our guide said something about pigeons perching on the little pegs sticking out, and perhaps that the pigeons traditionally hunted some smaller pest. I could find very little about these towers upon our return home, except one website that referred to them as the Beehive Pigeon Towers.
We had a multi-hour stop-over in Doha between two flights and a tour company collaborates with the airline to bus passengers around for a few hours to see the sights. Our stop-over was very late in the evening just before the shops closed, and there was not a bit of natural light left. This photo was almost entirely black out of the camera. I'm pleased that the subject could be uncovered in Lightroom. I'm also amazed that I was able to focus with this manual lens in complete darkness.
Just a short break from my long break...I missed flickr :)

I was inpired by a Steve Mc Curry image I had seen and I thought it would be an intriguing portrait image
I was intrigued by this bee like creature whilst on my insect safari over the weekend! It appears to have another two smaller sets of eyes on the back of its head! Can that be right? I mean, are they eyes?
Added to iSpot for identification!
UPDATE: Thanks to the iSpot guys! They've identified it as a Tawny Mining Bee, and the small eyes are indeed single facet eyes! Fascinating stuff!

Between forest and field, a threshold
like stepping from a cathedral into the street—
the quality of air alters, an eclipse lifts,
boundlessness opens, earth itself retextured
into weeds where woods once were.
Even planes of motion shift from vertical
navigation to horizontal quiescence:
there’s a standing invitation to lie back
as sky’s unpredictable theater proceeds.
Suspended in this ephemeral moment
after leaving a forest, before entering
a field, the nature of reality is revealed.

TRAPPIST-1 b: We give it a one (M-dwarf) star review; it lacks atmosphere. ⭐
Webb measured the dayside temperature of rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b and found it to be about 450 degrees F (227 degrees C), suggesting it has no significant atmosphere. This marks the first detection of any form of light — in this case, heat energy — emitted by a rocky planet that’s as small and cool as those in our solar system.
As a refresher, TRAPPIST-1 b is the innermost of 7 rocky planets (found in 2017) orbiting the M dwarf star TRAPPIST-1. M dwarf stars are intriguing because they are 10 times as common and 2 times more likely to have rocky planets than stars like our Sun.
These new Webb results give us important clues about TRAPPIST-1 b’s 3 siblings in the habitable zone (whose conditions could support liquid water on their surfaces) as well as other M-dwarf systems. It's a key step to figuring out if planets around M-dwarf stars can sustain atmospheres needed to support life, with a promise of more science to come.

This image: This illustration shows what the hot rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b could look like based on this work. TRAPPIST-1 b, the innermost of seven known planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system, orbits its star at a distance of 0.011 AU, completing one circuit in just 1.51 Earth-days. TRAPPIST-1 b is slightly larger than Earth, but has around the same density, which indicates that it must have a rocky composition. Webb’s measurement of mid-infrared light given off by TRAPPIST-1 b suggests that the planet does not have any substantial atmosphere. The star, TRAPPIST-1, is an ultracool red dwarf (M dwarf) with a temperature of only 2,566 kelvins and a mass just 0.09 times the mass of the Sun.
This illustration is based on new data gathered by Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) as well as previous observations
from other ground- and space-based telescopes. Webb has not captured any images of the planet.

Image description: Illustration of a rocky planet and its red dwarf star on an empty black background. The planet is large, in the foreground on the lower right and the star is smaller, in the background at the upper left. The planet is various shades of gray, with some small craters. There is no apparent atmosphere. The left quarter of the planet (the side facing the star) is lit, while the rest is in shadow. The star has a bright orange-red glow, and appears to have a very active surface with multiple flares
