The minimum number of traffic signals we have to go through to enter the Bruce Highway north out of Brisbane is four. One of them is controlled by this traffic signal box, only a couple of kilometres from us. Most traffic signal control boxes in Brisbane now have murals painted on them by locals with some local significance. On that basis though, the mural on the other side of snow capped peaks is about as far from reality as it gets.
I only noticed this one recently, because this set of traffic lights demands attention, often a bit wobbly and unpredictable! So I stopped this morning and took a shot, of course getting all sorts of gawks from motorists stopped at the lights. As usual, with a DSLR, you can be construed as a terrorist and demand that look, honking of horns......
It did strike me that perhaps artificial intelligence (AI) is operating in parallel universes, after all, this one’s characteristics remind me of another Explore. I have no idea of its local significance in reality, there are some natural environments nearby including the Tinchi Tamba Wetlands which do deserve a good Explore.
Parking lot ice. Snowmelt froze overnight into a thin ice sheet, and frost crystals formed an overlay, and if I knew anymore about it than that I would expound further. All these ice images are the product of a couple hours' work one morning; I tried to capture as many different looks - as many different textures, shapes, and designs - as I possibly could in that time frame.
Others occasionally are surprised that I regularly shoot at f/22 or f/32; truth is, I don't mind a little diffraction. I admit to stopping down as far as f/64 on one occasion, when I had crawled under a mushroom and wanted the depth of field. There was serious loss of sharpness and I would not recommend it (although Photoshop's Unsharp Mask helped a lot and the shot actually ended up in Explore). It was mainly an experiment to find out how much fuzziness I could tolerate. The bottom line for me: if it reproduces well at magazine page size, or as a wall print, without noticeable loss of detail, I find that acceptable. Whenever possible, I will shoot at the optimal apertures, usually f/5.6, f/8, f/11. But for extreme macro work or shooting wildlife in low light, I'm willing to do what it takes. That includes boosting the ISO, shooting wide open, and shooting stopped down.

I came across this field whilst out on a bike ride yesterday. From a distance I could just see shiny plastic. It was only when I got closer that I saw the very photogenic parallel lines. I was also lucky to get a very atmospheric sky with rain approaching. It was taken just outside Sherborne in Dorset.

So many parallel lines, so many colours, aaahhh, aren't we lucky?
Thank you, M, (*_*)

I've been wanting to head back to Wynnum to photograph these poles for quite some time but either the tide was wrong or I was working so yesterday afternoon I decided to give it a go. To begin with I was knee deep in water and by the time I was finished I was standing in mud.
When I was coming out of the water a couple who had been walking along the esplanade called out to me to find out what this crazy lady had been doing. They told me that joggers, walkers and cyclists all were watching me wondering what on earth I had been doing. This my friends is what I was doing and unless you get there literally you don't get the shots. Ahhhh at least I gave them all something to talk about. :)

Night photo of a vintage automobile from a decommissioned WWII airfield. Light added from a handheld ProtoMachines LED2 flashlight during the exposure. Photographed before the moon rose, it was rather dark when creating this photo. This began as a cold windy night, and turned into an absolutely beautiful evening, and as a bonus, mosquito-free. Feel free to share.

Here in Fairmont, Minnesota wedged between George Lake and Sisseton Lake, two railroads built their respective lines in the narrows and crossed Center Creek. A Union Pacific manifest freight passes between the lakes on the Northwestern Railroad grade that eventually was acquired by the UP in 1996. In the foreground is the Milwaukee Road, still used by Harsco Rail as a test track for rail equipment. The two railroads used to parallel each other from Fairmont to Welcome, but that is no longer the case. Canadian Pacific, the company operating the Milwaukee Road line (formerly DME/ICE), crosses the UP here in Fairmont then uses trackage rights from a switch downtown and west to Welcome before continuing towards Jackson, the namesake of the Jackson Subdivision.

Creating this photo came about intuitively, albeit, several steps and debate. The artistic process with self conceptual or expression can drown me for days before I resurfacing feeling like a jigsaw puzzle placed back together.
It began with myself, standing on a fallen tree gazing through a multitude of greens, but quickly grew into the idea of an alternate reality, a parallel universe, where I find myself now standing across from my 'other' self.
The idea and or theory of a parallel universe (or more!), and there being another carbon copy of myself, is a wild and somewhat obsessive concept. Working through concepts with my art is a gratifying and exciting process that helps with my insatiable curiosities.

I discover, there within the forest, we are no different. We exist on different dimensions and yet we walk the same path and explore the same mysteries. We feel and sense in the same manner. We find ourselves when we lose ourselves, in the silence of nature. Perhaps, we have always found each other, (our other self), there, just beyond our physical senses.
There is another presence...the air parts like a tiny ripple. The trees stir just the slightest, a whisper, a breath, the leaves quiver. She appears like a ghost in the night. Feathers graze the space that surrounds her pushing her forward with such grace.
She is our messenger. She is our guide through realms and shadows. She who flies silent and stealthy, she who sees all, she who appears again and again in all forms. She who we search for, together, there in-between worlds. She is our link, our connection. She is who transports us through time and space, dreams and multiverses. She is who binds us together.

I began to wonder are we not the same? The owl, myself and my other? Our skin just a veil we slip through like the parting of a curtain. We are parallel and yet forever intersected.
