Interesting ... I never used to click on the word Flickr (right before the words You, Explore and Create. For maybe a week, I have been clicking on it and this evening I left a thank you comment under today's main image and noticed that this main photo is nowhere to be seen on the Flickr page - vanished. My second and third photos are there and all three of yesterday's images and all sorts of old photos from deeper in my photostream. I wonder if this has been happening on other days. If so, then this would be something that affects views and comments on a particular photo. I never leave comments on other people's photos by scrolling down the Flickr page - I always go to My Contacts page and usually open their photostream and have a browse while I'm there. Hmm .... interesting.
HAPPY FIRST DAY OF FALL, everyone! This morning, the sky is somewhat overcast , and the temperature is 6°C (43°F), supposed to rise to 10°C (50°F) this afternoon. Rain is in the forecast.
I love this idea for an outside wall, seen at the Saskatoon Farm yesterday, 21 September 2016. This interesting place is maybe a 20-minute drive SE from the southern edge of Calgary. You can collect your own Saskatoon berries in season, look around their outside green houses, and their inside gift shop full of unusual things, and buy special baking, jams, teas and so on. They also have a restaurant that offers great food - I had a delicious meal of quiche and sweet potato fries.
The sky tonight went from pale yellows to a brilliant red and was reflected in these window in the building across from ours.
Photo was taken with Sony alpha 7 II and 28-70 mm/ f3.5-5.6 lens. All colors except red, blue and white were removed during raw-development.
A quiet moment observed through the windows of a London bus three separate frames, three different states of mind. From distraction to introspection to connection, each passenger occupies their own world despite sharing the same space. Subtle reflections, rain-textured glass, and the saturated reds of the bus create a cinematic urban narrative rooted in everyday life.
Hannah was painting a house in the village where I live and I decided to ask whether I could take her photograph. She was more than happy for me to do so and told me she studied photography at university and was particularly interested in documentary photography. Since then we have had a lot of chats about photography and it seems I have inspired her to go out and buy a new camera and start photographing again. Hannah is part of my project to photograph 100 strangers www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers/

I took this shot for fun, displaying the window curtain, a frog thermometer and the view of balcony and outdoor trees as seen through the window screen in late afternoon.
Was walking down one of the small main streets in the old part of Sopron Hungary and saw this window. Had to grab a shot for Window Wednesdays.
Like many of the old hearts of european cities the streets in Sopron were very small and twisty and tucked inside the more modern parts.
Most of the building are flat faced and sit very close to the street, with architectural decorations above doorways and windows. Many of the buildings are painted in bright colors, sometimes contrasted with white.
This building which I would guess by the Jackal, was from the late 1700 or early 1800s was sort of a sort purplish gray, the window frame and Jackal a warm light tan. {Might be the window to the Körmendi-Csák Gallery}
Image was captured in early October 2014, with Olympus E-M10, Edited on the iPad. First some minor straightening and crop adjustments in Snapseed, then into Alien Skin's AltPhoto app, where I applied the Vintage Color Faded effect and border.
The monochrome version of one posted in March.
An old abandoned railway station wall and window enveloped in Ivy.
Captured with iPhone in 2013, edited on the desktop in Photoshop and Alien Skin Exposure.
The black and white version was cropped more than the color one.

A monochrome portrait suspended between glow and shadow — the subject leaning into a window’s soft mercy while the darker room pulls at the edges. The light traces the cheekbone like a memory trying to return, while the curtain breathes its own quiet story. This is a moment of stillness that feels like a threshold: half confession, half invocation. A study in contrast, vulnerability, and the quiet power of being seen without armor.
I.
The window keeps its vigil, patient as an old friend,
letting the morning spill its truth across my face.
Shadow gathers behind me like a history I’ve outgrown,
yet still I lean toward the light, unafraid of its naming.
II.
Some rooms hold their breath when you enter,
as if waiting for the version of you that never arrived.
But here, the silence feels earned,
a soft throne carved from the ache of becoming.
III.
I tilt my head toward the brightness,
letting it map the terrain of my unspoken thoughts.
Every highlight a confession,
every shadow a promise I haven’t broken yet.
IV.
The curtain whispers its thin voiced blessing,
a veil between what I was and what I’m willing to claim.
Even the dust seems to rise in reverence,
catching the light like tiny, wandering saints.
V.
There is a tenderness in leaning,
in letting the world hold you without resistance.
The window frame becomes a quiet altar,
and I, a pilgrim of my own unfolding.
VI.
The dark behind me is not an enemy,
only the echo of rooms I’ve already survived.
It clings out of habit, not hunger,
and I no longer mistake its weight for destiny.
VII.
Light sketches me with deliberate hands,
as if sculpting a future I haven’t dared to imagine.
I feel the shape of myself returning,
slow, steady, sovereign.
VIII.
So I stay here, between glow and shadow,
letting both claim their rightful place.
For this is the portrait of a life in transition—
a face learning to remember its own radiance.
The strong wind last night blew much of the blossom off the cherry tree across the road.

View from my bathroom window. When I saw the X in front of my window while I was showering, I thought, “How fitting.” So I sprinted over—partly to test the WR seals on my Fuji, and partly to capture the scene before the wind blew it away.
The interior appears to be the exterior, but whichever it is, it's empty.
We're Here, pretty vacant.

Art Nouveau (jugendstil) is an art movement that was popular in various places in Europe between 1890 and 1914, mainly in response to the fading impressionism. Art Nouveau manifested itself mainly in utensils (glass art, books, pottery, jewelry, furniture, etc.), architecture and painting. The movement had a short but intense flowering period, which mainly expanded during the belle époque. In Western Europe the style was already a thing of the past well before 1910, in the east it could last a little longer.
Despite the striking regional differences, there are some characteristics that unite these movements: an optimistic worldview and belief in the future, a predilection for the use of new, modern techniques (in architecture, for example, large glass surfaces), an aversion to symmetry and a preference for ornamentation, in which flower and bird motifs dominate.
