These rock fins I found two days after the previous photo, in a place four miles away. They are in a remote area of the Paria Plateau not likely visited by anyone. I have also found similar intact flakes eight miles away in another direction, and on West Clark Bench 8 miles in the opposite direction. The process that produced these covered a large area, even out to Valley of Fire, Nevada, 150 miles to the west.
Layers of Navajo sandstone, initially laid down horizontally, with alternating bands of hardness, were tilted up at an angle, causing them to erode in fantastic ways like this. The rock fins can stick out of the ground several feet in places (see previous photo).
Delicate and easily breakable, these fins would not last long if a busload of children came out here to play. Fortunately, the bad roads and hiking distances make heavy visitation unlikely. Some of the flakes may have been broken by cattle. If you ever explore out here, stay away and don't disturb them. Leave them for others to wonder at. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see these in their intact state.
On my YouTube channel, you can watch my "New Discoveries on the Paria Plateau" where I found these. Three episodes have been posted so far, and another is coming later this month.
Imagine how a twin living in a parallel world try to contact the other. My suggestion? magic sticky notes.

I love the rawness in Korean life, especially in the countryside. This is a street scene from the little village of Hayang, which is a few minutes outside of Daegu.

CN's Kingston sub parallels highway 20 in Montreal for quite awhile (CP's Vaudreuil sub as well) and here CN 327 with CSXT 3181 leading is heading west on the south track of the Kingston sub after crossing over.
This photograph was taken in Rome and explores the quiet tension between movement, consumer culture and urban isolation within everyday public space. The scene is structured around strong architectural symmetry, with the central figure framed between two storefront windows while a passerby crosses the foreground, partially obscuring the composition for a fraction of a second.
The visual balance between the static mannequins and the distracted human subject creates an ambiguous relationship between presence and performance. The yellow jacket becomes the emotional anchor of the frame, separating the subject from the muted tones of the surrounding environment and reinforcing the layered rhythm of the street scene.
The image relies on documentary observation rather than intervention, using timing, spatial layering and foreground obstruction to transform an ordinary moment into a reflection on contemporary urban behavior. Like much of street photography, the photograph becomes less about a decisive event and more about the fragile choreography of everyday life: a small fragment of the ongoing human comedy unfolding through the streets of Rome.
Yesterday's dusk.

The noise reduction was applied strongly to reduce a long exposure noise.
And the sharpness was increased against the noise reduction.
Running parallel to the China Rail main line, SY 0407 hurries its train towards the washery at Didao on the Jixi Coal Railway.
Shooting Fine Art black and white does not just mean digital conversion from color and monochrome. It involves a discipline of vision creating something that you want to print and hang somewhere, get in a book or published. I hope more internet photographers realize that.

Parallel Leaf Venation in Sweet Autumn Clematis (Clementis terniflora var. mandshurica)
Parallel venation is a leaf vein pattern where veins run parallel to each other from the base to the tip of the leaf, typically in monocot plants.
