While getting a possible last real chance for a fresh air day with my better half before some of the first nasty days of winter sets in a few days with some decent snow in the forecast we came across along the Hudson River there is some construction fencing to some large scale project that painted by I believe by some local school kids. Amazing what some kids can do.

Possible geometries for an impossible daily life
Collection: The poetry of invisible movements: It is inevitable, points of conflict, lines of organization and insurrection, invisibility. Time passes... over. A look, a step, a gesture, the lines of the city or any detail, completed by the look, creating a poetics in the movements that only exist in the encounter between bodies, photographer, place, people photographed and who sees the photo, and this can generate a power of presence, a static dance.

An adult Escambia Waterdog from a tributary of the Yellow River in southern Alabama.
This species was split from the N. beyeri lineage, which now represents populations in rivers and drainages west of the Perdido River. As adults, this species has few dark spots along the back and tail and an unspotted nose as well as a light unspotted belly. Because Necturus are completely aquatic, there are very few opportunities for dispersal and gene flow between populations. N. beyeri is thought to have several possible lineages that require further study.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Den Haag, Kunstmuseum, P.H. Berlage, Dick Braeckman, 5 B&W photos. People (uncut)
Walking thru the Kunstmuseum The Hague, formerly Gemeentemuseum The Hague) it is sometimes difficult to choose to focus on the delightful early modernist Berlagian flow of space and light or the artworks on display. Luckily there’s photography to balance things out and have it both ways, like in the pic shown here – a light court doing its magic.
Check out Hendrik van Leeuwen's text below to learn about Dirk Braeckman and this work. Thanx Hendrk, also for your narration during the visit to the museum.
“Dirk Braeckman (born in 1958 and closely associated with Ghent) felt that painting was not for him. Just as Odysseus was lured to the rocks by the song of the Sirens, an inner voice lured him to the darkroom of photography. To the magician's chamber that Dutch enthusiasts abbreviate to 'doka'. He felt at home there. Classical rules about tonal value, focus and composition were soon thrown overboard. He started painting with lamps and chemicals, in an increasingly larger format.
With him, every print has a life of its own. In the Kunstmuseum, five photos of the sea hang next to each other. All made from the same negative and yet the differences are enormous. "In my armchair, I often think about art and philosophy, but in the darkroom, I act impulsively," says Braeckman. "I want to surprise myself. Time and again. That is possible with this profession."
What drives a person? Dirk Braeckman does not want to know when he works, but he too must have core images from his youth that do not let him go. He tells us hesitantly about his father. “Unlike me, he was very sporty. He liked to dive deep into the sea. As a child, I often went with him. I would sit on the shore for hours waiting. Or worse, on a boat far out at sea. He didn’t notice it, but I never knew when he would surface again.””
... wouldn't that be wonderful ??

Can anyone help with an ID for this moth please seen in my moth trap. It was definitely a micro moth & I was thinking perhaps one of the Acleris sps but I'm not sure.
It was a very sunny morning.
This boat is a "must" to be photographied if you go for a Sunrise at Delta de l'Ebre. Usually the water is very calm because it's located in a closed bay, and the colours of the sunrise (specially in winter) are amazing.
The photo has just some basic contrast/saturation and light tones adjustments. The photo has been taken with a big stopper and a 1.2 ND filter.
This casemate is of type FW3/22. During World War II, these Pillboxes were used for the defense of the United Kingdom against a possible enemy invasion. They were built in 1940 and into 1941.
Thank you so much for your visits, comments or favs! I will be travelling for a couple of days. I promise to answer back and have a look at your photos as soon as possible. Have a lovely weekend ahead! :)
Another picture of the supercell over Aduard on 5 June, 2015. Unfortunately the quality of the photograph is subpar due to the variations in lighting levels along the length of the panorama.
Clearly visible is a mesocyclone in the form of a rotating wall cloud in the centre, which minutes previously had been much more prominent and, according to reports, reached about 70% to the ground.
Also clearly visible is an inflow tail and an RFD to the right, as well as a general inflow cloud, here coming in from the north/the right side of the picture. You can also see what is possible a sattelite rotation here.

Some places make you feel small, in the best way possible. Gumiao River Grand Canyon (or Guniao Canyon) isn't just another scenic spot in Hunan—it's like wandering into a world carved out by giants and left untouched for us to stumble upon.
The river winds like a silk ribbon between sheer cliffs, so close you’d think they’re whispering secrets to each other. Greenery spills over edges, water carves its own quiet path, and if you sit long enough, the sound of the world simplifies itself: water, wind, echoes.
We didn’t rush. We couldn’t. Even photos don’t quite pin it down—something between the scale and the silence refuses to be captured. But we tried.

Есть места, где чувствуешь себя маленьким, но в самом лучшем смысле этого слова. Каньон реки Гумяо (или Гуньяо) в Хунани — это не просто ещё одно красивое место, это словно мир, вырезанный гигантами и оставленный нам на удивление.
Река петляет, как шёлковая лента, между отвесными скалами, такими близкими, будто они шепчут друг другу секреты. Зелень стекает по краям, вода спокойно прокладывает свой путь, и если задержаться здесь подольше, звуки мира упрощаются: вода, ветер, эхо.
Мы не спешили. Не могли. Фотографии не могут передать это чувство — что-то между масштабом и тишиной ускользает из кадра. Но мы попытались.

Ah, strawberries and raspberries! It's easy to see why I love them. Here's a breakdown of some possible reasons:
* Taste:
* Sweetness: Both fruits are naturally sweet, providing a burst of sugary goodness.
* Tartness: Strawberries and raspberries often have a slight tartness that balances out the sweetness, making their flavor more complex and refreshing.
* Juiciness: They are both juicy fruits, releasing a burst of flavor when you bite into them.
* Texture:
* Softness: They have a soft, delicate texture that's pleasant to eat.
* Seeds: The tiny seeds in raspberries add a slight crunch and interesting texture.
* Versatility:
* Eating alone: They're delicious eaten fresh on their own.
* Baking: Strawberries and raspberries are fantastic in cakes, pies, jams, and more.
* Other uses: You can add them to yogurt, cereal, smoothies, or even salads.
* Health Benefits:
* Vitamins: Both fruits are good sources of vitamins C and K.
* Antioxidants: They contain antioxidants that may help protect your cells from damage.
* Aesthetics:
* Colour: Their vibrant red color is visually appealing.
Ultimately, the reason you like strawberries and raspberries is likely a combination of these factors. Perhaps you particularly enjoy their sweetness, their refreshing tartness, or the way they look. Maybe you appreciate their versatility in recipes, or simply the pleasure of eating them fresh from the garden.
Do any of these reasons particularly resonate with you?
Am Basteir Summit 934m
Am Basteir is a vertically-sided blade of rock whose ascent is only possible for keen scramblers from Bealach a Basteir. Below the summit of the mountain is the remarkable lesser peak of the Basteir Tooth - an imposing fang of rock that can only be reached by rock-climbers.
The Black Cuillin are the most spectacular and challenging mountains in Britain. These are peaks of which dreams are made - and nightmares! Many of their summits require scrambling or even rock-climbing to reach.

If we were immortal, could we make it till 3005? We already wanted 1000 years, then we wanted 2000 years. 3000 years, and a little more, might be possible. The 3rd. ❤

^)(^ SORRY: I have to "slow down" (probably fewer photos, fewer input in groups, fewer comments and slower responses, etc.) for the next coming weeks, because we renovate our house ♫♪
I am very sorry about possible inconveniences ...
People seem to go all crazy over seeing CSX YN2 painted units these days. I don't get the excitement, personally I say paint them all as fast as possible. Anyway lets set the Wayback Machine to 2:32pm at Beattyville, Ky on October 24, 1992 for another northbound coal train in a never ending stream of northbound coal trains. (Today this segment of the EK Sub is mothballed.)
I went looking for the Little Owl again not really expecting it to be there.
Well, it was and then suddenly ...another one flew in ! They looked at each other then flew off.
Fingers crossed for a possible Little Owl family....
Photographers have been playing with forced perspective ever since photography became possible.
According to a retraction the folks at Scientific American had to print in 1895,
"...An artist who lends himself to such methods of deception may be ranked as a thoroughbred knave, to be shunned by everybody". The folks at Scientific American had been fooled by the work of a Colorado photographer.
Earlier that year, W.L. Thorndyke, editor of the Loveland Reporter decided to help a buddy promote his potatoes. Photographer, Adam H. Talbot created an image that made it look as though farmer, Joseph B. Swan was carrying an 86-pound potato. It was never meant to be a fraud, just fun.
Somehow a copy of the image found its way to the editor of Scientific American. He thought it was real and printed an engraving of the image in the magazine along with this caption. "This huge vegetable specimen is 28 inches long, 14 in diameter, and is said to weigh 86lb. 10oz., which is equivalent to the weight of 1 1/2 bushels of ordinary potatoes. It is of the Maggie Murphy variety, excellent in quality and prolific in quantity".
There are two old potato barns in Sedgwick County, Colorado. Taters were once a big part of the economy on the eastern plains but not anymore. That didn't stop a couple of "thoroughbred knaves" from trying to capture the flavor of "The Great Potato Hoax" for your pleasure.
Please, don't send this image to the editors of Scientific American. They have a long memory and get testy when fooled.
This is a forced perspective photograph of 1/12 and 1/16 scale die-cast models in front of a real background.

A quick upload from this mornings trip out to a new location. We were cursing our luck as the first time we have managed to get out for a while we were confronted with the worst thing possible, a clear blue sky! Fortunately a small bank of cloud wandered over us just in time.
It is possible to make a very nice overall picture with the canal and the overhanging trees. Now one of the best spots on the line.
On a rainy evening, the "Popradské Pleso" lake in the Tatras mountains, Slovakia.
This shot was taken with a mobile phone, as my camera broke down at the very beginning of this trip. I locked the ISO setting of the phone to 100 ISO to try to get as much as possible out of the camera phone, and then resorted to post-processing to try to get a quality image.
For post-processing, I used darktable. I used non-local means denoising, and adjusted the tone curves to have a strong highlight in the center of the image. I use both the equalizer filter (in clarity mode) and the local contrast filter, with masks selecting the center of the image, to increase the contrast gradually toward the center. My goal was to make more visible the different layers of mountains.
Then, I worked a lot on the lower part of the image, the lake, to enhance the highlights in the reflection. For this, I started with a strong modification of the tone curves. However, this created a lot of noise as the sensor of the phone is not too good in the shadows. To fight this noise, applied a set of filters only on the lower part of the image: I used a stronger non-local means that I combined with a wavelet-based denoising (using the "profiled" denoising filter of darktables) as these have different types of artifacts. To cancel out the artifacts, I added to these a low-pass filter that smooths out the image. On top of this, I added artificial grain, to restore the grain of the image destroyed while smoothing.
Finally, I worked a bit on the clouds. I wanted to crop the top of the image, in order to focus more on the horizon line, but I was interested in the shapes of the cloud. So I used a liquify filter to warp these clouds down. Last, in a minor and classic trick, I created a vignetting-like effect by making the top and left clouds darker with a tone-curve filter.

COLEÇÃO A POESIA DOS MOVIMENTOS INVISÍVEIS
É inevitável, pontos de conflito, linhas de organização e insurreição, invisbilidades. O tempo passa... por cima.
A poesia dos movimentos invisíveis: um olhar, um passo, um gesto, as linhas da cidade ou um detalhe qualquer, completados pelo olhar, criando uma poética nos movimentos que só existem no encontro entre corpos, fotógrafo, local, pessoas fotografadas e quem vê a foto, e isso pode gerar uma potência de presença, uma dança estática.

Street Art / Graffiti Geländer 3
Jörg Schubert / Galerie MakersPlace Künstler
Auf der Suche nach einem neuen Foto Motiv besuchte ich den Zoo in Dortmund. Mich begeisterte ein spannendes Geländer an einer Treppe.
Ich dachte, das wäre ein weiteres ausgezeichnetes Motiv für ein Street Art Bild.
Es entstand das Problem, das Geländer packend darzustellen.
Versuchte allerhand Blickwinkel, Auszüge und Abstände zu dem Geländer aus. Fotografierte dann das Geländer in scharf / unscharf.
Dann der Konflikt der Darstellung der Fotografie. Geländer ganz Darstellen oder einen Ausschnitt.
Fotografie digital bearbeitet.
Im Prozess der digitalen Bearbeitung gesehen, dass ich auf einem positiven Weg bin.
Am Ende ein digital gemaltes Crypto-Art Bild entstanden, mit dem ich zufrieden bin.

Street art / graffiti railing 3
Jörg Schubert / Gallery MakersPlace Artists
In search of a new photo motif, I visited the zoo in Dortmund. I was enthusiastic about an exciting railing on a staircase.
I thought this would be another excellent subject for a street art picture.
The problem arose of how to present the railing in a gripping way.
Tried all sorts of angles, excerpts and distances to the railing. Then photographed the railing in sharp / blurred.
Then the conflict of the representation of the photograph. Display railings in full or a section.
Photograph digitally processed.
Seen in the process of digital editing that I’m on a positive path.
In the end, a digitally painted Crypto-Art picture was created, with which I am satisfied.
My long exposure attempt at Faro di Punta Carena on the Island of Capri in Italy. I have uploaded a similar frame a few weeks ago (Sunset at Faro di Punta Carena) and many friends were wondering if I didn’t try a long-exposure shot. Well here it is!
A quite challenging shot as the sun was almost fully set and the lights of the lighthouse just turned on. Some further technical details for those interested: this is a single RAW shot of 181 seconds, taken with Nikon D750 and Nikon 14-24 f/2.8 at 20 mm, f/11 and ISO 100. The very long exposure was possible with the use of the Lee ND 10-stop filter (big stopper) attached on the SW-150 system. The image was first imported to LR for basic editing and then to PS for a few more adjustments.
Let me know what you think!
Coal was the reason for the existence of the East Broad Top Railroad. The 33-mile, narrow gauge line was built to transport coal from the mines in hills of West Central Pennsylvania to the standard gauge lines of the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad, which interchanged with the EBT in Mt. Union. Of course, coal also fueled the EBT's locomotives, making the entire enterprise possible. In this image, the crew of EBT Locomotive #16 heads to the coal tipple at the south end of the yards in Rockhill Furnace, to fuel their locomotive for the upcoming day's operations.
This image was captured during an April, 2023 photo shoot at the East Broad Top Railroad, which featured the newly-restored Mikado #16. A close examination of the image reveals that the track immediately adjacent to the coal tipple had been removed as part of a project to rebuild the entire structure. Once the EBT Foundation completes this restoration work, the coal tipple should once again be fully operational.
