I've been wanting to take some pictures like this ever since moving down, but you can only do it on one day of the month and I've always been busy. I had to crop these pictures more than I wanted to because there was always a light post or electric wire in the way. In the future I want to dedicate an evening to this and drive where I can get an anobstructed view.
downed light post and missing roof at the corner of ponderosa and lodgepole where some of the most severe tornado damage occured.
coincidentally, these streets are named after the lodgepole and ponderosa pine - the two trees that have recently been decimated in colorado by another ecological disaster - the pine bark beetle.
I stacked three photos on top of each other to make this image. The photos were blended using a Calico program.

The setting inside Enchanted Garden restaurant on the Disney Fantasy brings to mind an elegant conservatory amid peaceful hillsides in France. Adding to the soothing ambiance are picturesque frescoes where lumbering hills mingle with lush greenery. Custom glass-flower light fixtures that suspend overhead. White trellises, ornamental light posts and a 7-foot tall cascading fountain in the middle of the restaurant, home to a fanciful stone cherub Mickey Mouse.
Other magical touches at include: The ceiling transforms throughout the day, from the brilliant blue of daytime into the golden red of a setting sun—and finally into a nighttime constellation of twinkling stars. Blooming flower light fixtures that change color. Decorative wall sconces that fall away to become folding fans. Wall paintings that project a dusky illumination at night. The centerpiece fountain is flooded with sparkling light in the evening.

I can't think of a title. An alternative to this photo. Thanks to Dailyville for her title suggestion after an uninspired latenight editing/posting.
I played with the idea of getting rid of the light post.... it came out clean in with the clone tool in photoshop but i think i like it there. Thoughts?
A view taken down the platform loong north at the approaching line...
Filey Holiday Camp railway station was a railway station built by the London & North Eastern Railway to serve the Butlins Holiday Camp just south of Filey, in the then East Riding of Yorkshire, England. (Filey became part of North Yorkshire in 1974.) The station was officially opened on 10 May 1947 by Lord Middleton, Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire.[1]
The station was situated at the end of a short branch line off the Yorkshire Coast Line. It had four long terminus island platforms to cater for the large number of holiday makers arriving and departing from the holiday camp each Saturday during the holiday season. The station was located to the west of the A165 and was connected to the holiday camp by a private subway under the road. Passengers were taken to and from the station by a road train using this subway. Passenger numbers dropped significantly as more people arrived at the camp by car and the station closed to passengers on 17 July 1977.
Hoenheim Nord Terminus Strasbourg, France
Architect: Zaha Hadid
BACKGROUND - The city of Strasbourg has been developing a new tram-line service to combat increasing congestion and pollution in the city centre. It encourages people to leave their cars outside the city in specially designed car parks, and then take a tram to the more inner parts of the city. The first part of this initiative was the development of Line ‘A’ that ran east to west across Strasbourg. Zaha Hadid has been invited, as part of the new artist’s interventions, to design the tram-station and a car park for 700 cars at the northern apex of the line.
CONCEPT - The overall concept towards the planning of the car park and the station is one of overlapping fields and lines that knit together to form a constantly shifting whole. Those ‘fields’ are the patterns of movement engendered by cars, trams, bicycles and pedestrians. Each has a trajectory and a trace, as well as a static fixture. It is as though the transition between transport types (car to tram, train to tram) is rendered as the material and spatial transitions of the station, the landscaping and the context.
MATERIALISED VECTORS - The Station contains a basic program of waiting space, bicycle storage, toilets and shop. This sense of three dimensional vectors is enhanced in the treatment of space: the play of lines continues as light lines in the floor, or furniture pieces or strip-lights in the ceiling. Viewed in plan, all the ‘lines’ coalesce to create a synchronous whole. The idea is to create an energetic and attractive space that is clearly defined in terms of function and circulation, which is made possible through three-dimensional graphics of light and openings.
MAGNETIC FIELDS - The car park is divided into two parts to cater for 700 cars. The notion of the cars as being ephemeral and constantly changing elements on site is manifest as a ‘magnetic field’ of white lines on the black tarmac. These delineate each parking space and start off aligned north/south at the lowest part of the site, then gently rotate according to the curvature of the site boundaries. Each space has a vertical light post. In contrast with the lines on the ground, an area of darker concrete, almost an imaginary ‘shadow’, cuts gently through the car park, linking the field of the station to the one of the car park. Overall, the ‘field’ of the light posts maintains a constant datum height that combines with the gradient of the floor slope. Again, the intention is to reciprocate between static and dynamic elements at all scales.

Came upon this bizarre scene on Long Lane early Sunday morning. The story is that a young man on his way from his night shift, fell asleep at the wheel and ran off the road.
It seems his Guardian Angel must have been on his shoulder as the car missed the wall and the concrete light post by inches on either side.
He was badly shaken up but otherwise unharmed, the damage to the car was minimal. I understand that the owner of the car, his mother was enraged and unsympathetic of his mental state.....I wonder how she would feel if the car had hit the post and her son was in the hospital or morgue. I shudder to think.....
I guess I've been doing a lot of film lately? anyways, I decided to experiment with double exposures and it turns out there's A LOT of things that can go wrong.
the good news: I can turn all of my failures into a collage and hand it in at school for a grade.
the bad news: I wasted mad amounts of photo paper trying to get this right.
in the end, it took me about 5 or 6 tries (haha err, don't ask) over the course of about 3 days to achieve this. I'm relieved. I may end up uploading a collage of my failures... possibly. enjoy.

When we first began our nature and photo-op walk on this cold day, after briefly stopping in at the impressive Orientation Center (information desk and educational hall for visitors, plus a nice cafeteria), we were immediately greeted by the sight of a very beautiful Red-Tailed Hawk, perched atop one of the light posts. This one did not appear familiar to us—we have seen plenty over our many outings at DF, so have become rather aware of most. From its markings and generally fresh look, it could not have been that old, a young adult, likely. Upon approaching the post, it something in the surrounding field attracted its attention, and this lovely creature took flight. Apparently, the potential prey disappeared, or maybe not what it desired. So, the Red-Tailed flew back up to perch on another light post. Accustomed to visitors, and knowing who is harmless or a pain in the rear (ignorant folks would voice aggravating sounds . . .), we were obviously accepted as ones in the first category. This beauty allowed us to capture the great features, and seemed curious about us, also. Like many birds, it was probably storing our images in a memory bank for future possible encounters.
The late, Doris Duke, had left a wonderful legacy in converting a good portion of her magnificent estate into a Natural Wildlife Preserve for the public’s education and enjoyment—just short of 1,000 of the almost 3,000 acres is open to visitors. The other area is restricted to staff and for a wide range of projects. The paths throughout the estate offer such splendid scenery. One is forever exploring, always seeing something beautiful. There are so many pleasant surprises, from the general landscape scenery to the world of birds and other wildlife, including furry critters, tiny insects, and wonderful plants, from fascinating wildflowers to such impressive trees. The bucolic nature of the preserve is so relaxing—akin to meditating while experiencing the preserve. There is no best time to visit, for throughout the year’s seasonal changes, visitors will never leave disappointed, for each trip offers something memorable.
CHECK OUT OUR ALBUMS ON DUKE FARMS, FOR IT IS SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE FOR ALL TO ENJOY AND LEARN ABOUT NATURE’S ENDLESS GIFTS.
Besides the wonderful diversity of nature’s jewels, Doris Duke has left a part of her legacy through her passion for art—well situated throughout the preserve is a collection of glorious sculptures and fabulous examples of supreme stonework and design in the bridges, old ruins of enormous barns and stables, and a variety of other structures. The old Hay Barn ruin with its fabulous sculpture garden is truly a favorite of ours, for each and every statue seems to possess a spirit and sense of life. The landscape and backdrop can alter the mood, accordingly, depending on the time of day and seasonal changes in particular. So, spotting new and fascinating wildlife (both animals and plants) and art never ceases to add to the experience.
Shoot, compose, light, post process and print.
That's the workflow of basic photography.

Careless truck drivers have a habit of cutting the corner at Anderson Road and Wright Street in Sunshine, taking out the traffic lights in the process. At least they haven't run over any waiting pedestrians yet!
