A photographer on the lower leve of the Outer Drive Bridge in Chicago - took a while to get a decent silhouette with no cars blocking the view.
The wild horses of the Outer Banks, known as Banker horses, are a breed of feral horse living on the barrier islands of North Carolina. They are descendants of domesticated Spanish horses brought to the Americas in the 16th century. These horses are recognized as North Carolina's state horse.
This photo captures a serene sunrise over the Outer Banks in Nags Head, North Carolina. The scene features a wooden boardwalk with simple railings, leading down a sandy path toward the beach. The boardwalk is flanked by weathered fencing, interwoven with tall, wispy sea oats that sway gently in the coastal breeze. The sun, just beginning to rise above the horizon, casts a warm golden glow across the sky, painting it with soft hues of orange, pink, and yellow. The light filters through the railings, creating a radiant silhouette that highlights the natural beauty of the dunes and the untouched shoreline. The overall atmosphere is tranquil and inviting, evoking a sense of peaceful solitude as the day begins in this picturesque coastal landscape.

As perfectly circular as it is redundant, this crater-like artificial island was built in the 1970's to test the feasibility of an ultimately unfeasible engineering project. Because of the concentric pond at its center, the locals dubbed it “the Doughnut.”

The wet side of the first cyclonic activity of the western Atlantic Ocean’s 2022 hurricane season, a tropical storm, brushed past Ft. Pierce, Florida on June 4, 2022 leaving little damage. This photograph shows the storm’s outer bands as it moves across the Florida peninsula and enters the Atlantic Ocean.

Late autumn heading into early winter here in the northern hemisphere. There's a grittiness to the landscape now, accentuated by bare tree limbs and overall lack of foliage. The killing frost took care of that. The bareness of the earth brings with it a depletion of color that only adds to the feeling of inhospitality. There's a feeling that there's nowhere now to hide from the often wintry blasts that howl across open farmland. Yet somehow this is all very fitting. As much as I dislike winter I find this atmosphere strangely comforting. Every dreary cemetery scene my mind can conjure seems to now appear before me as a reality. The cold and darkness take a back seat to the excitement this causes me. A very strange duality of thought. Nothing about visiting cemeteries seems strange about. Any last vestige of that sort of thinking left me while still a teenager, if it even existed then. If there is any oddness with this behavior it's my fixation with standing on the boundary of the cemetery property gazing back at the outside world. It's not the same doing this from within the cemetery. For me it's all about getting right up to the edge, near the graves that form the boundary between the dead and the living. It's like standing over an unsee energy field. Like an invisible fence for dogs. Dunno. But standing here on this grim November day the energy field was wide open. I looked past the graves of people that died over a century ago. In the distance the remains of a cornfield that was harvested just a few days ago. The cycle of life and death so wonderfully manifested and in the shadow of that gnarly old tree. Late autumn heading into early winter and I'm right where I belong.

ET seems to have landed on a strange, hostile planet. Fortunately, he has his faithful plush lion to comfort him.
This cute little alien is 6,5 cm tall.
While doing a bit of night photography I decided to push the D3s a bit. Normally when taking Milky Way shots I use 6400 ISO. This image was taken at ISO 12800 for 30 sec. to gather as much light as possible. I did need to use a bit of noise reduction but there was considerably more detail in the sky than the similar image taken at ISO 6400 (see inside). Both images were taken for 30 sec. at f2.8.
Next stop ISO 102,400 but I'm afraid I will blow out the Milky Way! ;-)
