It was such a beautiful day, that i left work a little earlier and drove to the Elbe River to take some pics.

I went to downtown San Jose yesterday to walk around and take some pics. The weather was beautiful and the walk, the sun, and the shoot really lifted my spirits. However, I have to say I was a little scared a couple of times. Some of the streets, where all the interesting things to shoot are, are a little creepy... Three times i thought someone was going to run by me and steal my camera and I got nasty sexual comments twice. So this brings up the question, is it really worth it to go out and find the shots you want to take or maybe staying at home and shooting things you're comfortable with is the solution?

 

The rest of my San Jose shots are in www.maitepons.smugmug.com

Zig-Zag Railway, Blue Mountains

Building in Madrid at the corner of José Ortega y Gasset and Claudio Coello streets.

Inspired by Denyse Schmidt's Big Zig pattern but constructed with HST and scrappy for my sister. Finished size is 70x88". Quilted in zig zags by me and bound in Kona Tangerine. Backed with a Key West handprint that has been in my mom's stash for a long time.

There's better angles I'm sure of this wall to make a better shot.....returning this weekend to try again. Maybe a longer focal length to compress the 'Z' a little more and make the subject larger in the frame??

A graffiti for drinkers, smokers and back-alley tokers. Hand-drawn Zig-Zag man. He is at eye-level if you are lying on the ground!. Back alley in New Orleans Garden District. My olympus P3's dating defaulted back to 1969. Photo taken January 2, 2020.

This is the first zig on the zig zag....stopped the car and follwed the track.

 

The railway through Kalamunda was opened in 1891. It was extended to Karragullen before closing in 1949. The rail line had a series of switching points (zig zag) where trains reversed direction in order to climb the steep 1 in 30 grade of the Darling Range.

 

After the rails were removed the zig zag was turned into a narrow bitumen road (one way - top to bottom).

March 6, 1957 Lafayette newspaper.

In sections where the pipeline is elevated, a zig-zag design is apparent. This configuration contributes to the flexibility of the line, converting the changes in the line length to sideways movement. Between anchors or the four supporting legs, the pipeline can move sideways on its cross beams a total of 12 feet in case of thermal expansion and contraction, and another 2 feet in case of seismic activity.

Can you guess what I did with my quilt that is different?

Finally got a chance to take some pics of this quilt. Zoe has taken it over completely.

Zig Zag growth, Hwy 5, Mile 55 Washington State

This tree is one of a few left standing in a forest cleared - my guess is for development.

The day was extremely foggy, which explains the fairly dark, blurry atmosphere. The photo has been digitally sharpened, but too much can decrease the quality...guess I need another trip back one sunny day, and hopefully the tree will still be standing.

A little info about the growth and form of a tree or whole stand of trees (still trying to find info about this specific tree):
