A color portrait photo of a small squirrel eating a cluster of small pink flowers. The squirrel squats on a gray rock facing toward the right. Green leaves are seen in the lower left and the background is out of focus green foliage. The squirrel has a gray body with two black stripes divided by a light tan stripe running down its side. The tail is unseen behind the foliage in the lower left. The squirrel's shoulders and head are a copper-gold color. Its eye is black and it clutches a cluster of small bell shaped flowers in its front paws.

A single railroad track, receding into the distance, in a lonely urban area behind some houses. Almost everything is in soft focus. A railroad milepost, marked "O QA" is in sharp focus at left. There's a hobo-style graffiti tag on the milepost.

Park Junction

28 March 2010. Philadelphia, PA. At Milepost 0 (QA-0, technically) of the CSX Railroad's Trenton Line, near Fairmount Park, Philadelphia. The location is known by the railroad as "Park Junction". I really like this location. It seems to exist in a parallel universe, completely unlike the manicured urban parkland to one side and the upscale residential neighborhood (with its back turned to us) on the other. Desolate as it might be, the tracks could lead anywhere, unconstrained by local geography. Places like this evoke precisely the lonely and mysterious feeling that attracts me to postindustrial subjects. In more down-to-earth terms, this humble section of railroad track is where the CSX's Baltimore line meets its Trenton line on the eastern side of the Schuylkill river, just north of the "Park Tunnel" under the Art Museum. It's of minor historical significance as the location where the former B&O Railroad to the south/west ends and the Reading Railroad to the north/east begins. There was once a connection to a second track here for a now abandoned Reading "City Branch" that served nearby industry via a "Pennsylvania Avenue Subway" (which shares its northern portal with the currently active Art Museum tunnel). A photo of the abandoned City Branch tunnel can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/mattblaze/2148915615/ . Nikkor 45mm/2.8 PC-E lens (@ f/7.1), Nikon D3x camera (@ ISO 100). No emulsions were harmed in the making of this image. 1065

I was so fed up with winter that I went to the tropics... I took the tram to the botanical garden.

This is a close-up, eye-level shot of a small, single yellow aquatic flower bud rising on a slender stem from calm water. The partially closed, conical bud reveals bright yellow petals encased at the base by smooth, reddish-brown sepals. The stem and flower cast clear, slightly soft reflections on the water's surface. The background is heavily out of focus, creating a dreamy bokeh effect with multiple layers of soft green tones. Indistinct green shapes of blurred lily pads float on the water's surface in the mid-ground. Beyond these, the background fades into deeper greens and olives with hints of brown, suggesting vegetation or foliage at varying distances. The top portion of the background is darker, transitioning from deep green to a brighter, more illuminated green towards the centre, creating a natural gradient. The extensive blur emphasises the sharp focus on the yellow flower, making it the only clear feature in an otherwise soft, atmospheric aquatic scene.

Another photo from me, but a moody one this time!

Taken at a local ruined church/graveyard one evening, with a stormy sky.
Originally taken in colour, but better in mono - especially with the subject!
f16, 1/2s to get the depth of field

The sky behind the church looks dark and forbidding and there are leafless tree branches in the top of the image. — A black and white photo of an old ruined church, with gravestones in the foreground, some of which are tilted over.

Our top story: Photographer Jordan Vonderhaar spent months using a modified digital camera to reveal the militarization of the #Texas border in stark infrared. https://www.texasobserver.org/the-river-and-the-fever-dream-photo-essay/

#photography #art #politics #USpol #immigration #military #news

A trio of men from border patrol stand knee deep in the water, one holding a pole. Behind them is thick foliage and the border fence. The scene is highlighted in stark colors because of an infrared filter, with the water gray, and the plants a bright orange red.

A converted digital camera can use infrared light to reveal Texas border militarization—in the same way the armed forces once scanned for enemies from the sky.

A color landscape photo of a shoreline of a large alpine lake. The water in the foreground is green tinted and crystal clear and there are many gray rounded boulders from the center into the lower right portion of the photo. A small conifer tree grows from one of the boulder created islands at center-right. Flat blue water is seen extending out from center-left to upper left. In the distant background in the upper left are snow-capped mountains. steep slopes angle up from the sinuous lake shore on the right. The sky is clear blue.

A tabby cat (Margot) with wide eyes is lying down and playing alertly on a red couch. Her fur is a mix of brown, tan and almost black stripes. The background is softly blurred and shows a room interior with muted colours. There's a vase of flowers to the left, and a round mirror hanging on the wall behind the cat.

🧣This morning, as I made my way through the snow to teach SPARTA Strength, I spotted Mary—98 years young—across the street.❄️

I offered to be her personal valet, helping her navigate the snow and ice to the Malden Senior Center. She wasted no time—hopped right into class and brightened the room.😅

She’s a true inspiration. 💪🏾
