Strange targets.

I suddenly see these everywhere. Probably just me becoming more aware? Or a new thing? Rebuilding the city? No idea.

Tomato packing shed for packing and shipment north. Hazelhurst, Mississippi

#Hazelhurst #Mississippi #DorotheaLange’s #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

loc.gov/pictures/item/20177701


The image captures a black-and-white scene of what appears to be a historic packing shed used for the processing and shipment of goods, specifically tomatoes. A large truck is loaded with crates stacked on each other in an organized manner; some bear labels indicating brand names like "Camels" or product types such as oranges or peaches. Two individuals are present near the loading area: one sits atop a stack, donning a hat suggestive of outdoor work while handling boxes, and another stands by, possibly supervising or assisting with the task at hand. The structure in which these activities occur is characterized by its sturdy wooden beams supporting an overhanging roof that offers partial shelter. The ground beneath shows signs of wear typical for such industrial sites - dirt patches alongside scattered items hinting at a busy working environment. An additional layer to this image involves text overlays on the borders, with phrases like "ERG" and "BUY," which may have been part of original context or could be indicative of some form of advertisement. The overall composition speaks volumes about an era focused around manual labor in industrial settings, possibly during a time when such packing sheds were critical to agricultural commerce. This photograph is identified as being taken at Hazelhurst, Mississippi according to the provided link and reference on images.loener.nl which details this historical snapshot from Do [...]

“Dinge mit Gesicht” / Things with a face

Sometimes the most obvious image to submit is the one that’s right there in every post I write. This is my old cat Sachi, being very patient with me — and also my avatar photo.😊

Photo of the back of a gray cat’s head and neck. Paper cutouts with black pen markings have been arranged on top to resemble the eyes, nose, and belly of the title character from Hayao Miyazaki’s animated film “My Neighbor Totoro.”

'Dinge mit Gesicht' #FotoVorschlag #photography
Verrosteter Briefkasten mit einem Gesicht aus zufĂ€lligen Öffnungen: Zwei runde Löcher wirken wie Augen, ein rechteckiger Ausschnitt wie eine Nase, und eine gezackte Öffnung erinnert an ein lĂ€chelndes Maul. Der Briefkasten ist an einem Metallzaun befestigt, umgeben von ĂŒberwuchernden Ästen und Ranken, was eine AtmosphĂ€re von Verfall und RĂŒckeroberung durch die Natur erzeugt.

C'est une photo au format paysage, en plan rapprochĂ© d'un costume de scĂšne dont la couleur dominante est le rouge. Dans l'angle supĂ©rieur gauche, on voit la manche d'un vĂȘtement bleu . Le reste de l'image est dans des tons de rouge apparents sur ce qui pourrait ĂȘtre le bas d'une cape, trois Ă©tages de volants et de deux piĂšces de tissus dont l'usage m'Ă©chappe. Certains, sur la gauche portent une impression Ă  motifs rĂ©gulier. MĂȘme vu partiellement ce costume est impressionnant.

“Dinge mit Gesicht” / Things with a face

Trinity Church in downtown Manhattan, looking shocked at the modern world.

(Thanks to @meoralis for pointing out the face to me when I shared a previous photo of it!)

Black and white photo of Trinity Church in NYC seen at a distance through a canyon of tall buildings, with pedestrians and street traffic in the foreground. The church steeple appears to be squeezed in by buildings on both sides, and the windows and a clock on its facade resemble a narrow face with an open-mouthed shocked expression.

Welcome To Narnia

Clothed in autumnal colours, streams tumbling beside us, waterfalls on every steep rockface, and the beauty of the long fjord leading to the sea. Magical.

FjarĂ°ardalur, the "Fjord Valley," softly lit by sunlight from behind us and patched by cloud shadows ahead.

Looking like a scene from a fantasy novel, this is Mjóifjörður in eastern #Iceland.

Edit: Thanks to @logi for the heads up.

Many cabins of this type are found on the Mississippi Delta

#theMississippiDelta #America #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

loc.gov/pictures/item/20177630


This black and white photograph depicts a dilapidated wooden cabin situated in an open field. The structure appears old, with visible signs of weathering such as broken or missing shingles on the sloped roof, exposed beams beneath the slanted sides, and a chimney stack that seems to be leaning slightly. There are two upright standing objects beside the house: one looks like a simple wooden post possibly for fencing support while the other is unclear but appears shorter. The field around the cabin is overgrown with grass or tall weeds, indicating neglect of the area surrounding this building. In the background, there's an open landscape that fades into a light sky without any significant features to distinguish its distance from the foreground. The photograph carries historical significance as suggested by what looks like handwritten alphanumeric codes at the bottom: "3-006P-A7," which might be related to archival categorization or filing. This style of cabin is often associated with rural America, particularly during periods where such constructions were common for homes in agricultural areas before modern building materials and techniques became widespread. The setting suggests isolation from urban centers and the passage of time has left its mark on this structure.

đŸŠ©Did you know? A flock of flamingos is called a flamboyance—and it’s easy to see why! With their bright pink feathers, long legs, and graceful necks, these colorful birds command attention wherever they go.

There are six species of flamingo worldwide. They are highly social creatures and often gather in large numbers. The largest flamingo colony in the world can be found in Tanzania, where more than 2 million birds have been observed at one time.

A black and white portrait photo of a large stream engine crossing a tall railroad trestle. The back ground is a deep ravine of forest covered slopes. The train is about to complete its crossing of the trestle. It is head toward the bottom right of the frame. It has two small headlights that are tuned on. Steam comes out from the lower right side of the train. Black smoke pours out over the top to the train. A young girl is in the bottom left taking a photo of the train as it exits the trestle.

The Union Pacific Big Boy, an articulated 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive manufactured by the American Locomotive Company in 1941. Here, the Big Boy had just crossed the East Branch North Fork Feather River and was parked waiting for a VIP passenger (7/11/2025). I really couldn't have been in a better spot. I thought it was just going to roll by at that location. When it stopped, I thought, "For me?" Lol!

A color landscape photo of a very large steam engine. The engine is stationary just as it cleared a bridge. The rest of the train is still on the bridge. Another bridge can be seen crossing under the upper bridge where the tr5ain is on the left. The train points toward the right. Whisps of black smoke come from the front smoke stack. It has a small US flag on the right front and a California flag on the left front. A forest is seen in the background.

A black and white landscape photo of a very large black steam engine in a desert landscape. The engine is heading toward the right side of the frame. It is very long, with two sets of drive wheels. The tender car is behind the engine and a small section of a passenger car can be seen behind the tender. Sagebrush is in the foreground, and dimly, through the haze, a mountain range is seen in the distance. A round, railroad crossing sign is seen just ahead of the engine on the right. It is filled with bullet holes.

The cloudless part of the sky is very dark as if a red filter had been used.

#Photography #BlackAndWhite #Squared

Square black-and-white photograph. Extremely minimal composition showing a small set of cat whiskers in close-up. Fine, curved lines enter the frame from the right side and sweep gently toward the center, some sharp, others faint and blurred. The background is bright and featureless, creating a high-key surface where the whiskers appear as delicate, floating arcs. No other details of the cat are visible.

Just eight days ago, I gave a popular science talk at mpi_grav@academiccloud.social about colorful phenomena in the sky, and now – boom!

Just minutes ago, there were beautiful iridescent clouds (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_ir
) here, north of Hanover, Germany.

Here, light is diffracted by tiny droplets in the clouds, creating these typical mother-of-pearl colors.
