this moment caught in london’s brutalist heart balances solitude and structure — a man framed by the coiled ribs of raw concrete, held in a diagonal beam of afternoon light. the silence of the architecture speaks louder than the subject, as if the building itself paused to breathe. shadow and geometry entwine with human stillness.
Here are some old farm structures taken near my friend’s wheat farm in Eastern Washington. I would guess that the building straight ahead with the sunken roof and the barn to the right were the original buildings and then the other two structures were added on. I’m sure the rodents and snakes are enjoying the extra space now.

Silhouetted Palm trees in front of the U.S. Coast Guard Fort Point Station. Included is the 1890 boathouse, the 1915 boathouse, Officer in Charge quarters and other structures. The station was originally farther east, but was moved in 1915 to its present location to make way for the Panama Pacific International Exposition.

The Milwaukee Pierhead Light is an active lighthouse located in the Milwaukee harbor, just south of downtown. This aid to navigation is a 'sister' of the Kenosha North Pier Light. The station was established in 1872. It is west of the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, and is near the outflow of the Milwaukee River—not far east of where that river converged with the Kinnickinnic River—into the Milwaukee Harbor and Lake Michigan. This light has a round steel tower with a round gallery and a ten-sided lantern. In 1926, the original 4th Order Fresnel lens was transferred to the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, and that lens is now displayed at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The Fifth Order Fresnel lens—installed in 1926—was removed in 2005. The tower is newly painted circa 2007. The 5th Order lens is said to be on display also at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum. According to one source: "The original lantern room had helical bar windows and is believed to [be] the one presently on the Breakwater Light." This is corroborated by the report that the Breakwater Light has a "round cast iron lantern room [that] features helical astragal" in the lantern. A Submarine cable runs from this light to the Milwaukee Breakwater Light, upon which a lighted danger warning is displayed. The light was recently painted, circa 2007. From 1872 until 1926, the light had its own keepers. Thereafter, this light, like all of the lights in the harbor, was serviced by the resident Lighthouse keepers who were stationed at the neighboring North Point Light Station until it was automated. The light was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in September 2012.

A lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways. Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, rocks and safe entries to harbors; they also assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and use of electronic navigational systems.

Another awful day weather wise on Tuesday. Strong winds and heavy rain being the order of the day. However there was a break in the weather around 4.00pm so I decided to pay a visit to Entwistle Reservoir, which is fairly local to me. The idea of a long exposure to capture some movement in the clouds and water whilst using the Wader in the foreground as main focus. The Wader is a metal structure of a heron situated on the north shore side of the reservoir.
I have seen a few nice images of this recently so I decided to head out to capture my interpretation.
The water was extremely choppy and clouds moving well. I took a few shots this evening using my umbrella to shield my camera from the strong winds.
My favourite was taken as the sunset that materialised was reflected on the water creating the georgous light in the scene. It didn't last long but it was long enough time to capture the image below.

named for the Damien Jurado song I'm listening to.
out from my window, across from the city
i have what's considered a good view
two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain
where i walk to break in my new shoes
she stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis
like horses and parades in passing
i ask where she's headed, she tells me ohio
i've not seen my mother in ages
it's been a long time
a real long time
out from my window, how far is ohio?
she laughed, and pointed out east
she said i grew up there with my dear mother
and i haven't seen her since thirteen
you see i was taken while she lay sleeping
by my father's hired men
we moved to the city, so far from my family
i haven't been back there since
it's been a long time
a real long time
out from my window, please hear me ohio
your daughter wants to come home
she longs to be with you, to hug you, to kiss you
to never leave her alone
and i've gotten to know her, to live with to love her
it's hard to see her leave
she belongs to her mother and the state of ohio
i wish she belonged to me
see you some time
see you some time
