The Mundane

The end of summer harvest is busy.
The dune-like loess hills in The Palouse are incredibly fertile - producing wheat, barley, lentils and yellow canola.
Bright red or white barns are scattered across the landscape nestled in the wind breaks planted around the farm homes.

There they stay during the night. My Flickr friend Rebecca explained Bred Last meaning in Swedish is Wide Load.
Ventspils has regular ferry service with Nynäsham, so blue Scania probably will go to Sweden...
Decided to take a few minutes and try some extended exposures of Lords Lake and Green Mountain under the morning sky.

Fred was well known by his coworkers for his seemingly random and spontaneous outbursts of song and dance in the middle of the workday.
Have a nice weekend.
Early May in The Palouse farming country is a busy time. The sun rises at 5am and sets at 8pm, so the crop dusters, giant tractors and all of the other heavy equipment are in full use. The first photo caught one of two yellow crop dusters and a busy tractor from ¾ of the way up Steptoe Butte. The second one was taken just at the exit road from the Butte. People are busy but friendly, willing to stop and chat on a beautiful 72 degree F/22 degree C Spring day.
My "other neighbourhood" :) On workdays I'd normally spend more time here than at home, when there were no lockdowns (does anyone remember such times?)... I miss the City, hope to be back there before too long.
This is the view from my office which is on the 14th floor in an office building in Vienna. We do have floor to ceiling windows and it's an amazing part of going to work.

The sun has just set in Hội An. Last moments before ending the workday.

Skyscraper (with impossible clouds)

I took the two photos which make up the vertical panorama, created in Photoshop Elements, on 09-02-2016 during my last long "Photo Expedition" to downtown Los Angeles. The skyscraper is the Wilshire Grand, the tallest building in L.A. and on the West Coast. They hadn't added the spire yet, and I believe the crane along the side of the building has been removed.
I'd forgotten I'd taken the photos for a panorama and stitched them together this morning.
The sky was just "blue" so I masked the sky out of the image, and now I can insert any cloudscape I wish. I didn't go so far as to figure out a way of reflecting any cloudscape I add into the glass windows of the skyscraper, but I'm sure there's a way, with the distortion tool and eraser probably. However, it's a workday, and I'm off as usual.
The clouds I added are storm clouds shot over Signal Hill about a month ago. It's actually one of my more popular images, and I flipped it, used layer masks to blend the clouds together, and then used the soft contrast tool and some clone brush magic to make the dark underside (now in the middle) disappear.
Final touch, adding my signature along the fence at the bottom of the image, using the distortion tool to align it to the fence.
