Leica M Mono (246) plus Elmar 2.8/50 at F8. I am using now a yellow filter though I do not think that it makes much of a difference given that the light today is pretty low.
A wired rendering of the Manhattan Bridge.
IF you had difficulties finding this photo, and my other recent ones, it is because Flickr's Activity Feed is not functioning for many of us. They are aware of the problem and say they are working to fix it. In the meantime please stop by to check on my status. Thank you.
This is a pasture electric fence insulator, waiting to do its job. I liked the compositional contrast between this little piece of tech and the soft-bokeh rendering of the pasture.
NB - This looks like a closeup, but it was shot from several meters away. The high f-stop used (f/14) kept all of the insulator in sharp focus while the long focal length (405mm FFE) produced the soft-bokeh background.
Location: Moostal (Moss Valley) Riehen BS Switzerland.
In my album: Dan's Wired World.
have a nice friday!

Strange sky tonight. This pic doesn't capture the effect... There clouds were in bands, so the sky had stripes of blue/grey and orange/yellow. It was cool.
Those who involve themselves in theological questions seek wisdom only as we relinquish any pretense of innocence. Wisdom has always already outgrown innocence. The biblical prototype—the divine Sophia—precedes all creation, after all (Prov. 8: 22–23). She has seen it all. This mystery does not warrant ignorance of our history and our institutions, of our hugely varying effects on the planetary contexts of theology. Often what is called “mystery” (as in “Don’t ask questions, it is a holy mystery”) is mere mystification, used to camouflage the power drives of those who don’t want to be questioned.

The wire-tailed swallow (Hirundo smithii) is a small passerine bird in the swallow family.
This bird is found in open country near water and human habitation. Wire-tailed swallows are fast flyers and they generally feed on insects, especially flies, while airborne. They are typically seen low over water, with which they are more closely associated than most swallows.
The neat half-bowl nests are lined with mud collected in the swallows' beaks. They are placed on vertical surfaces near water under cliff ledges or more commonly on man-made structures such as buildings and bridges. The clutch is three to four eggs in Africa, up to five in Asia (Turner and Rose). These birds are solitary and territorial nesters, unlike many swallows, which tend to be colonial.
