Visual find of the day... by Mike Hall

One of the things I like about fall is all the variety and contrasts in color, tone and texture you can find...

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.

10503, No. ??? by Jeffrey

Posted on 2018-10-20

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!>

The Soul of Dance by Susy

Posted on 2018-09-24

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

How hot is it? ;-)
...all the bread in the store is toast!
... the cows are giving evaporated milk!
...Lance Armstrong tested positive for water!
...I saw a coyote chasing a jack rabbit and they were both walking!
...the chickens are laying hard-boiled eggs!
...the trees are whistling for dogs!

Artimus. Provincetown, Massachusetts. by Shaun

Posted on 2018-07-19

The owner of the fishing vessel Artimus, lodged on the rocks at Provincetown, since early March, has been charged with littering. The charge carries a fine, and the vessel has to be removed. A sad end to the Artimus.

Storehouse Doorways by Pixadilly

Fort Union National Monument, NM
It's amazing how ruins can be so beautiful. Fort Union operated from 1828 to 1867, garrisoning soldiers who protected the Santa Fe Trail and harboring fur traders. It was an important western outpost, literally in the middle of nowhere! Time has eaten away at the adobe walls. Restoration there is a constant undertaking for historians interested in such an important locale of the early settlement of West by Anglo-Americans.

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.

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.

Pleasant Valley Farm by Elaine Hancock

The dairy barn is used to sell produce grown on the farm. I stop by here about once a week to buy fresh vegetables. This year they planted sunflowers around the barn. I thought it was really pretty.

Total Lunar Eclipse by Jason Kravitz

Posted on 2004-10-28

What a strange day - many technical problems at work and a flat tire on my way home but I was able to get back in time to eat dinner and set up the tripod for the lunar eclipse. We had nearly perfect clear skies except about 20 minutes before totality - then the clouds moved off just in time for me to catch the last photo in the series, full coverage with a red tinge.

All shot with 400mm lens - the first four were somewhere around ISO 200, f/8, 1/250s - the last one was ISO 1600, f/5.6, .8s

Hiking West Fork trail in Arizona, I didn't notice this face in the rocks till after taking a photo in Black and White. It looks a bit like Dali with a curved mustache.

Ready to roll by Harry

Posted on 2018-07-11

They cleared the trees and scraped the land. They prepared the old farmhouse and one of the barns for moving, but there is no indication of where they will be moving. It costs quite a bit to move a structure, so they must have identified a reuse scenario. One barn and several out-buildings ended up in the scrap pile, however.

Broken fence by Harry

On my way to the shore to shoot the sunset, I passed this dune and the bedraggled fence discouraging people from climbing on it.

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.]

Durga Puja Arriving by Sugata

Posted on 2018-10-10

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.

Wading deer by Harry

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.

Manhattanhenge by Fran

Posted on 2018-07-13

The Druids came out in Manhattan last night, as seen here on 34th Street. Four times per year, in May and July, thousands of New Yorkers and tourists flock to Manhattan’s streets for a glimpse of the celestial sunset event known as Manhattanhenge. It features a perfectly aligned sunset beaming down the east and west streets of Manhattan's grid. This results in a fireball of a sunset that illuminates the north and south sides of the city's skyscrapers.
