Lensbaby boredom @ work in the bathroom mirror. I was about to leave for the day, and went to the restroom. Figured I'd take a pic or four. Using a Lensbaby without the viewfinder is serious trial and error, since the lens tilts for selective focus, and the depth of field is almost nonexistent.

Beyond our ordinary field of vision, dynamic seafloor habitats offer shelter, feeding grounds, and spawning grounds for ecologically, commercially, and recreationally significant marine life. When coastal storms disrupt these habitats, the changes can be isolated and temporary, vast and evolving, or anything in between. Hurricane Sandy struck the Atlantic coast of the U.S. on October 29, 2012. The storm might have caused significant transformations in underwater ecosystems, but we may never know the full scope of these changes because, in most affected areas, precise baseline data and maps of seafloor ecosystems were previously nonexistent. Following Hurricane Sandy, scientists launched extensive submerged habitat mapping projects that will clarify how storms and other disturbance events affect natural resources on the seafloor. The essential high-resolution baseline information that they collect and analyze can later be used to support efforts to conduct long-term monitoring of underwater resources.

Jay 2
Jay si era seduta su uno dei cavalli di legno della giostra abbandonata nel luna park deserto. Mentre guardava intorno, notò qualcosa di strano. Un flebile suono di musica sembrava riempire l'aria, proveniente da chissà dove. Era una melodia malinconica, che suscitava sentimenti di tristezza e nostalgia.
La ragazza si sentiva sempre più sconsolata e depressa mentre il suono si diffondeva nell'atmosfera cupa del luna park. Le attrazioni arrugginite sembravano emettere un lamento silenzioso, come se volessero raccontare le storie dei visitatori che una volta avevano riempito il parco con gioia ed eccitazione.
Jay avvertì una stretta al cuore e le lacrime le rigavano il viso. Pensò di scendere dal cavallo e lasciare quel luogo inquietante, ma qualcosa la tratteneva. Era come se volesse scoprire il segreto che si nascondeva dietro quella melodia triste.
Rimase ancora un po' sulla giostra abbandonata, lasciando che la musica la cullasse. I ricordi di una felicità passata si mescolavano con la malinconia del presente. Jay si chiese se quel luna park avesse un'anima, se potesse ancora suscitare emozioni e se qualcuno avrebbe mai saputo delle storie nascoste tra le sue attrazioni decadenti.
In quel momento, Jay decise di accettare la sua tristezza e la sua depressione. Si alzò dal cavallo di legno e si avvicinò a una vecchia cabina fotografica abbandonata. Se avesse avuto una macchina fotografica si sarebbe scattata una foto di sé stessa, malinconicamente. Era come se volesse catturare quel momento di introspezione e trasformarlo in una promessa di accettazione.
Mentre camminava per il luna park abbandonato, Jay sapeva che quel posto era la sua casa. Aveva compreso che, come il parco, anche lei si era sgretolata in macerie e non aveva bisogno di trovare la forza per creare una falsa speranza alla ricerca di una felicità inesistente.

Jay sat on one of the wooden horses of the abandoned carousel in the deserted amusement park. As she looked around, she noticed something strange. A faint sound of music seemed to fill the air, coming from who knows where. It was a melancholic melody that evoked feelings of sadness and nostalgia.
The girl felt more and more disheartened and depressed as the sound spread through the gloomy atmosphere of the amusement park. The rusty attractions seemed to emit a silent lament, as if they wanted to tell the stories of the visitors who once filled the park with joy and excitement.
Jay felt a tightness in her chest and tears streamed down her face. She thought about getting off the horse and leaving that unsettling place, but something held her back. It was as if she wanted to uncover the secret hidden behind that sad melody.
She stayed a little longer on the abandoned carousel, letting the music lull her. Memories of past happiness mingled with the melancholy of the present. Jay wondered if that amusement park had a soul, if it could still evoke emotions, and if anyone would ever know the hidden stories among its decaying attractions.
In that moment, Jay decided to embrace her sadness and depression. She got up from the wooden horse and approached an old abandoned photo booth. If she had a camera, she would have taken a picture of herself, melancholically. It was as if she wanted to capture that moment of introspection and transform it into a promise of acceptance.
As she walked through the abandoned amusement park, Jay knew that place was her home. She realized that, like the park, she had crumbled into ruins and didn't need to find the strength to create false hope in search of a nonexistent happiness.

a very small font, and rather nice. Recently moved from left of the entrance to down by the old stair to the (nonexistent, of course) rood loft.
222 - Soldiers with the 7th Transportation Group's 331st Tansportation Company, the Army's only floating causeway company, move equipment from the USNS Pililaau, anchored off the coast of Camp Pendleton, Calif., to the Navy Elevated Causeway System on pieces of the Improved Navy Lighterage System July 26, during Joint Logistics Over The Shore 2008. JLOTS is an exercise that increases the Army's and Navy's ability to build improvised ports for transporting equipment from ship to shore when a harbor or pier has been damaged or is nonexistent. Nearly 1,500 pieces of rolling equipment and shipping containers will be moved from ships with a series of lighterage systems (floating roadways) and smaller boats to improvised piers on the shore.

Sidney Woodruff, graduate student, gets a photo of Emily Phillips (blue), a ecology graduate student, with the Western Pond Turtle in the Arboretum on June 8, 2022.
The project involves assisting Dr. Brian Todd and Ph.D. Student Sidney Woodruff in a research study evaluating how native species respond to the removal of non-native species and waterway restoration. The research objectives are to investigate the abundance and population demography of the native Western pond turtle (Actineymys marmorata) and population response in growth and demography from the removal of non-native red-eared sliders. Natural populations of the Western pond turtle are found in the UC Davis Arboretum where red-eared sliders occupy the same ecological niche in high densities. Natural populations of Western pond turtles are found in the nearby South Fork of Putah Creek where the presence of non-native turtles is extremely low or nonexistent. This work can highlight the importance of waterway restoration in building a more resilient ecosystem while supporting the recovery and conservation of native species.
Providing this opportunity will allow undergraduate students to be involved in wildlife conservation research under the supervision of a graduate student mentor and PI while also supporting the objectives of this study and the restoration of the UC Davis Arboretum.
Atlanta Braves baseball from 20 September 2019 (the night they clinched the division crown). The new park (opened in 2018) gets panned a little because it's usually pretty hot in Georgia and a heck of a lot of seats are in direct sun.
It's a relatively generic stadium (in the new mold of generic stadiums), but it's nice. The area outside the stadium (bars/restaurants) is actually a bit more interesting/unique than the stadium itself.
The biggest drawback is that the Atlanta Braves no longer play in Atlanta. (That and parking is almost nonexistent up there in Marietta near the stadium. We were scratching our heads looking for the actual parking lots.)
As for the game...it was a great game. First time in my life I actually got to see a division-clinching game. (They'd clinched a playoff spot a few days before.)

I absolutely love grilled cheese on sourdough bread with a giant slice of pickle on the side!!!!! But in this shot, my grilled cheese is almost finished, and my slice of pickle is more or less nonexistent. It's fine though cause I've got another one waiting for me :D tehehehe
I love how food can make me so happy sometimes. All I need is love any kind of comfort food, and an incredible bed to sleep in :)
Though I was threatened by someone for taking pictures out here, with them saying something like “I WILL F—-ING SHOOT YOU!” while driving by in their small yellow ford SUV, I think these pictures of Linn Street in Cincinnati’s West End turned out fantastic, and show how lovely the neighborhood is despite some of the activity that tends to go on in this part of the city, and the urban renewal that led to the street being as wide and anti-Social as it is today. These buildings were largely constructed in the 19th Century, with some dating to the early 20th Century, a time when Linn Street was much narrower and ended at Bank Street, with the connection to Mohawk Place and McMicken Street to the north being nonexistent for much of the area’s history. However, in the early 1960s, the road was deemed to be not wide enough for the industrial and commercial uses the city’s leaders envisioned for the area, and it was widened to four through-lanes, much like Liberty Street in Over-the-Rhine and Pendleton, wiping out all the buildings along its path, including several churches. The gap left in the urban fabric has had many attempts to fill it, with a notable failure being the playground that once stood on this portion of Linn, which was demolished around 2012 after it was taken over by drug dealers and gang members, whom still seem to be in business in some areas of the neighborhood, especially on this high-speed anonymous corridor and towards Liberty Street and the housing projects. Today, the negative impact of this roadway continues to blight the surrounding urban fabric, and I believe that the proposed changes to Liberty Street should be studied for Linn Street as well, as this corridor would benefit from slower traffic and a more humanistic, less anti-social design.

When you go through the streets
No one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
At the carpet of red gold
That you tread as you pass,
The nonexistent carpet.
And when you appear
All the rivers sound
In my body, bells
Shake the sky,
And a hymn fills the world.

This old man sits in the shade of this tree all day to protect the nonexistent tourists who come to this monument.
Took the plunge and bought a dSLR; the Nikon D40. It's made me realize how much I have yet to learn about photography. With my point-and-click, the majority of the process was just taking shots from different angles and zooms. With this one, I need a better understanding of f-stop, shutter speed, ISO settings....
This has been the best shot so far, and it's in auto. Manual is killing me. My grasp on lighting seems to be nonexistent.
My computer is nonexistent. So I cannot upload pictures off the camera I actually use to take effortful photos. So, crappily composed iPhone photos it is! Burnt Lake hike, July 4, 2014.
Arby's #5702 (2,851 square feet)
709 James Madison Highway, Dominion Square, Culpeper, VA
Opened September 25th, 1989, renovated in April-June 2016
It'd been quite some time since I'd documented an Arby's, so when I arrived in Culpeper to begin the day's photography adventure I made their location my first stop, because what better breakfast to have than freshly dropped mozzarella sticks?! It's standard fare in all honesty, with a front-end dining room featuring the company's latest decorative flourishes, though I don't recall seeing the portion of wallpaper naming off Arby's food products at other locations too often (very modern McDonald's-like of them to include as well). I just wish that photos of this location pre-remodel existed online, as the original look is nonexistent here aside from the neat tiny glass enclosure at the front entrance.

My Flickr is overdue for some rearrangement. I've worked out a plan for how I'm going to structure things, but depending on how long it takes to implement, my sets and collections may be very messy and/or nonexistent for a bit!
UPDATE: Well, that was much easier than I expected! I guess it helps to plan things out in Excel before deleting sets willy-nilly...

"Brunch" has been virtually nonexistent in my life since moving to Port Townsend, with some rare exceptions. There are few places to go, I'm usually at church, and there is no one afterward to go with. So, this was a rare treat!
"Stick to the basics...hot dogs, beer and ice cream. The Chinese food was overrated and dull. We both got the wok fried chow mein, one with tofu and one with chicken, seemed fresh with decent ingredients, though flavor intensity was nonexistent."
Winding, muddy roads in the early span of false spring bewitch me. It's a spell cast always just around the bend. Sure, I know too well where Shore Road East is going, but the sweep of fog can make me believe it's a mystery. The collision of bright sun and cold ocean whispers back and forth all afternoon, intent on no middle ground. Trading places like army battlefronts, where does the truth of no man's land lie? These days dream me around their fingers, guardrails running like wedding bands unfurled. Sheep Shearer Brook runs steady underneath this span called Claybank Bridge. Warning signs say to watch your width, and keep an eye on nonexistent oncoming traffic. Maybe I'll disappear through the deep stream hollows of here or Healey's Brook – or down to the caves of Keating's Sand Beach (the Cape and Sand as some misspeak it). Unraveling memories of a thousand drives and days before. This sleepy shoreline calls as many times as I answer, until one final time must mean I'm gone.

Location & Date: Katoku Mountain, May 2024
Description: Environmentalists say that the dune in Katoku, Amami Islands, where the human-made objects are nonexistent to date, is about to be destroyed for the government-led project of building a concrete seawall.
It is claimed that the sea wall will prevent the erosion on the dune when typhoons hit. However, critics of the project consider the plan to be problematic as alternative to nature-based solutions.
Scientists and experts have highlighted that with climate change accelerating, the seawall plan is ignoring and destroying the natural healing process. And that this would increase the risk of this whole village being severely affected by natural disasters.
Climate change has been significantly influencing typhoons, making them more intense and destructive.
In 2014, a mega-sized typhoon number 18 struck the coast of Amami Island in southern Japan.
