A beautiful Florida sunset at a little park by my house, that went from fiery orange to cool blue within a few minutes.

The coos aren't as cute and the hills not as green. But every once in a while here in the Ohio flatlands, we get a fairly nice sky... especially if you see a sunset and then look the opposite direction.

His birthday was just a few weeks ago, and he wanted to sit for a portrait to mark the day.

This view greets residents and visitors entering the south entrance to Austin's City Hall. Other than the striking design, one of the first things one notices is the artwork and sculpture that can be seen throughout the first three floors of the four-story building. This is known as the "People's Gallery," a display of over 160 artworks that, since 2005, has been an annual showcase for works by Austin artists and arts organizations. The People's Gallery reflects the artistic excellence and diversity of Austin, in addition to promoting the City's cultural and economic initiatives.

 

Austin’s copper-clad City Hall, completed in 2004, is the work of lead architect Antoine Predock, principal of Antoine Predock PC. Austin wanted its city hall building to fit the spirit of the city, which the Dallas Morning News has described as a "crazy-quilt vitality, that embraces everything from country music to environmental protests and high-tech swagger." The building's angular design has been widely praised. Predock has been quoted as saying that he designed the building "not as a "suit-and-tie" city hall, but rather as a reflection of the warm informality that characterizes Austin."

Happy 4th of July--- Independence Day--- to all of my US friends

Along the boardwalk, Walborn Reservoir, Alliance, Ohio. By this time of year, the water is usually frozen over, and the landscape is white with snow. Not so this year.

Similar image to the Gore Range shot, but slightly different vantage point and done with iPhone 14 ProMax. Just for comparison's sake.

Walborn Reservoir, near Alliance, Ohio. There used to be a tall pine visible on the horizon that held a nest for a breeding pair of bald eagles for more than a few years. Spring windstorms took the tree down, but they have since relocated to a nearby tree.

Okay, I’m gonna confess all and expose my ignorance here. I’ve been involved with iOS for years, and a friend of mine in Victoria Point (Brisbane) and one of my nieces have gotten me into using Portrait Mode heavily as of late, and using the Stage Light filter. The irony there is that neither one of them are professional photographers, but the three of us are artistically inclined! But I’ve learned a lot from those two.

And you just might feel like a western sheriff. You might also find a badge, boots, and a holster at Kemo Sabe, Vail, Colorado.

He does not do this very often, thank God, but he has a few embarrassing stories he could tell about this exalted position. And in case you were wondering, he has learned to put the lid down!

This acrylic assemblage sculpture is the work of Austin artist Skip Myers (skipmyers.com). The work is on display at Austin City Hall through the spring of 2024.

 

From the artist: This is a found object assemblage piece depicting the Trojan Horse. Using found objects such as sticks, cabinet knobs, toys, used paint brushes and parts of a French press, an image of the fabled Trojan Horse presents itself.

He's sweet natured and gets along with everyone, including another female exotic shorthair and Dexter, the boy bulldog. Just playing with the new iPhone 14 ProMax (portrait mode). More images of Geo and the other creatures are in my Flora/Fauna album.

This abandoned farm tractor has probably seen better days. In fact, I don't think it's moved in the more than 10 years since I first noticed it resting comfortably off a back road in Brewster, New York.

From AI on Safari, “The foundations at El Morro National Monument, specifically the ancestral pueblo of Atsinna, date back to around 1275 CE, with the pueblo itself giving rise to a thriving community.”

We serve British comfort food with great flavour, including seaside favourite fish and chips, plus sharing platters and ice cream.

 

ABOUT OUR PUB

Built on the harbour front in the 1700's, the name derives from being the first place spices from around the world landed. We were historically located just outside the gates of old Portsmouth thus was lawless and home to press gangs for Nelson's Navy. Having just survived the ‘Blitzkrieg' in WWII, you can still find us with the best view in the heart of historic Portsmouth.”

I didn't coin that phrase. But it came from his Nikon-carrying best mate. And it just might have something to do with his high level of energy.
