Every year, the city of Gloucester, MA, builds a "Christmas Tree" from green lobster traps stacked into a conical structure. (Early trees were built from wooden traps, which have been replaced over the years by traps made of coated wire mesh.) The traps and labor are donated, and scores of children paint hundreds of lobster trap buoys that will decorate the outside, in addition to lighting.
400 traps are being used this year, in honor of the city's 400th anniversary, making this year's tree much larger than past ones. Open door frames are built in at ground level, so anyone can walk inside, look up, and gape. Here, the volunteer crew is closing in on the top after most of a day of work.

I considered posting the photo with no explanation but decided to be charitable.
A Capela das Pereiras, localizada em Ponte de Lima, Portugal, foi originalmente construída em 1525 por ordem de Pedro Afonso Fiúza e da sua esposa Catarina Madriz. A estrutura atual resulta de uma reforma profunda realizada em 1818. Em 1979, a capela foi doada à Câmara Municipal, encontrando-se em estado de degradação. Em 1998, o edifício foi restaurado pelo Município de Ponte de Lima.
A capela apresenta uma planta retangular com capela-mor e estilo barroco do século XIX. No seu interior, conserva-se parte de um retábulo do século XIX. O espaço foi adaptado para acolher eventos culturais, com a construção de um novo coro e instalações de apoio. A torre sineira permanece inacabada, como sempre esteve ao longo da sua história.
A Capela das Pereiras é classificada como Imóvel de Interesse Público desde 1982. Além do seu valor histórico e arquitetónico, o local oferece um dos melhores miradouros da vila de Ponte de Lima.
Well played.
Memories made.
Just an old baseball.

Barn Wall
Greenwood Township
McHenry County, Illinois 42.405646, -88.383602
September 24, 2023
This was going to be photographs of the 2023 McHenry County Farm Stroll. I was expecting this year's to be as good as the one in 2021 or the Dekalb barn tour in August.
However, it was really just a tour of farm stands. I didn't stop to take pictures at ANY of them, and I visited eight. None of them had what I was expecting - interesting barns, sheds, walls, and rusty equipment. Instead I got steel pole barns, everyone selling produce and crafts, and talk of "regenerative" and "agroecological" farming along with "cultivating bonds of community through the abundance of farming."
Ugh. I should have known. Anyway, I got a few pictures along the way, but it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the previous tours I've done.
Usually, when I spend a day taking pictures, I'll first post my favorite picture from the day. You know it's not been productive when I post a picture of a barn wall. I mean, it IS a pretty nice wall...

Balboa Pier, Newport Beach, CA
Newport Beach, CA
The Balboa Pier was constructed in 1906 as a sister project of the Balboa Pavilion. The Newport Bay investment Company wanted to attract lot buyers to an undeveloped spit of sandy land now called the Balboa Peninsula. In order to do so, they built both the Balboa Pavilion and the Balboa Pier. These two structures were built to coincide with the opening of the southern terminus of the Pacific Electric Railway Red Car line from Long Beach to the Balboa Peninsula. The plan worked; multitudes of beachgoers flocked to Balboa, and many purchased lots.
The pier is a popular fishing spot. The fish caught from the pier consist mostly of mackerel and flounder. Additionally, the pilings are home to a large population of starfish that feed on the large colonies of mussels growing there, and are easily spotted at low tide. Fishermen catching starfish by mistake are a relatively common sight.
In the 1980s, the first of Orange County's famous Ruby's Diner restaurants opened on the pier. The 1940s nostalgia-themed restaurant has since become a famous Orange County landmark.
Balboa Pier Park
The pier was heavily damaged in the severe El Niño storms of 1998, which also destroyed the famous diamond-shaped Aliso Pier in Laguna Beach. One of the pillars was damaged, causing a partial collapse of one corner. The wooden posts have since been reinforced with steel sheathing and braces to prevent further damage.

how vulnerable and still are his movements in the busy city. the drawing of his face is like a map, much smaller than that of the city. he himself is also getting smaller in the disappearance of time.
I definitely have always had a goal to capture unique angles of San Francisco. I feel I am starting to finally narrow in on those. sfbay.photos

Ariel structures stand tall against the horizon at the old atomic testing site on Orford Ness. The sky is unusually grey today, with very little blue showing through the thin wispy clouds overhead. A warning sign from the National Trust advises all pedestrians and vehicles not to enter as there is still a hazard of unexploded ordinance.
