Chiberia's Skyline by Steven

Posted on 2019-02-13

The Chicago skyline seen from Montrose Harbor a few days after Chicago experienced a near record cold temp. Chicago was colder than many locales around the world known for its cold temps.

I didn't want to venture out with my camera for fear that it would lead to condensation building inside the camera itself.

The white amoebic form that you see in the middle of the photo are shards of ice that were paper thin and piled on top of each other, perhaps due to currents under the ice.

I'm not a bird photographer... by Jeffrey

Posted on 2019-01-18

I'm not a bird photographer...

but I am an opportunist, so when a bird lands on a plant five feet away from me and then strikes a pose, I'll happily take its photo, even if the camera I have with me at the time is dedicated to infrared-only photography!

A Modern Entrance to Hogwarts... by Susy

Posted on 2018-12-31

On my way to NYC I was walking down an alley to catch the train and I noticed this beautiful street art on the wall. Then I looked closer and found it odd that the Target shopping cart was pushed up and almost touching the artwork as if someone thought that would look cool. It did!!!! So, I quickly took a snap of it and when I came back after the day in NYC, it was still there. (Maybe it's a modern take on catching the Hogwarts train....:) Anyways, I thought to share here and hope you find i

Later in the morning, I hiked down the ridge from Sunrise Point and found a place for a panorama. The viewpoint is on the right of the frame and up closer to the rim.

Sisyphus, having accomplished his task, is whistling during his descent. The joy of being. Despite the odds, the heart can win. [Not realizing this glacier might be gone when the next hike is planned for. Walking on eggs.]

My neighbor's garden has these pretty flowers that refuse to acknowledge the autumn chill. So, I pulled out the macro lens.

Central School by Steven

Posted on 2018-10-25

Main entrance to Central School at 61 Woodside Road in Riverside, Illinois. The architecture of the school is so beautiful with a welcoming entrance. The ornate doors have lots of character in comparison to many institutional-type doors you see at schools today.

A little HDR treatment had to be used here to bring out the brick detail in the archway, circular medallions and overhead dentil.

Durga Puja Arriving by Sugata

My 5-month old daughter dressed up as a simple version of the Hindu goddess Durga. In my home country, the festival of Durga Puja started this week. The items scattered symbolize the things the goddess carries in her arms. The lion is her vehicle. This is how we are celebrating the festival away from India, in the US.

What Were They Thinking??!! by Steven

Posted on 2019-02-12

An unbelievable sighting while we were at the Indian Watchtower at Desert View was this couple sitting on the very rim of the Grand Canyon, where it was a long drop into the canyon. All it took was a wind, a sneeze, a rock crumbling or an unsuspecting person coming up from behind and startling them to lead to an unfortunate accident. I stayed far away from them!

Rather than taking this photo for its beauty, I took the photo as documentation if the couple ended up missing...or worse.

Our souls dance by Susy

Posted on 2019-01-08

"Folk dancing has been a mainstay tradition in Greece since the ancient times. Greece is one of the few countries in which folk dancing is as popular today as it was at its inception. From the islands of Crete to Thrace, each region has their own unique folk dances, some more popular than others."
These dancers were photographed at a Greek Food Festival and brings the entire community together sharing the delicious Greek cuisine and the festive and beautiful folk dances of the Greek culture

This is an interpretation of cities getting ready for the New Year!!!! We find much happiness looking forward to a New Year. May this year bring internal striving for peace and community togetherness within our cities, our families and ourselves. May we recognize this striving in others, ourselves and contribute to bringing people together with our work, our laughter and our attention to the needs of others! Thank you, Susy

Sunrise. Holbrook Reservoir. Massachusetts. by Shaun

Posted on 2018-10-29

Just a few months ago at the start of the summer, the reservoir was quite low and I could walk over parts of the area that should have been under water. After a few very heavy storms the reservoir was again full, easing water restrictions in the area.

Golden Gate Bridge on 10.26.2018 by Irene

Posted on 2018-10-28

After I took this photo, I went by Ocean Beach where it was foggy. Went out of town for a bit, put gas in the tank. Came home, went up to Twin Peaks, and it was sunny, looked towards the Golden Gate Bridge, no fog. I even went through Golden Gate Park and again came home via Ocean Beach, no fog on the way back.

I am filled with appreciation and the love of Greek music, dance and food. This is a photo taken while enjoying this professional dance troupe during this celebration of Greek food, culture and community! The dancers were in traditional clothing and the room was filled with people and children enjoying and sharing this wonderful experience. OPA

Fire smoke from the West by Joyce

Posted on 2018-08-18

This is Paradise Valley, about 40 miles north of Yellowstone Park which is hidden by smoke from the countless fires around us and mostly to the west. We so hope we can get by this season without a wildfire in our own valley.

This air makes eyes burn, slightly nauseous, breathing hard for some. It makes you squint. It affects your thoughts and feeling of well being. But none of that even touches the devastation and loss of life whether of man, animal, terrain, forest, and homes taken by

Wading deer by Harry

Posted on 2018-08-11

We watched this deer "graze" the bottom of the stream for several minutes. He would dip in for a minute then come up with some river vegitation hanging from his mouth and chew for a while before dipping down for more. While chewing, he turned and watched us.

There was a terrible fire in this area and what you see in the background is heavy smoke. This building was burnt to the ground about 40 minutes after this photo. It was one of the worst fires in this states history.

10503, No. ??? by Jeffrey

I didn't plan to photograph this scene, as I was merely out walking my dog. But when I saw all of the lights on, I was powerless to resist, so we ran home, where I grabbed my camera and crossed my fingers they would still be on when we returned. And they were! <phew!>

This photo is an interpretation of the following music and text. I seek to inspire others with both my work and the music that accompanies it. I especially enjoy creating with music, photography, the brilliant applications I use, Procreate and icolorama and the often and amazing places of the unknown, which are all around us. Thank you for reviewing my work and many smiles, Suzy.
