Splash

Many intelligent creatures play, when hunger is satisfied they look for pastimes.

These beautiful animals were racing each other through the water, their sleek bodies leaping and, instead of the simple "surface and breath" behaviour, they were making splashes.

Surely, they were doing it for fun?

A colour photo of a stretch of sea under a cerulean sky with some fluffy cloud. The water surface reflects the colour of the sky, a deep sapphire blue. In the distance is a range of impressive mountains, well defined in the clear air and sunlit from the left. In the centre of the shot is a line of white water splashes and close inspection reveals the backs and fins of aquatic animals creating the spray by leaping.

Something different as I work through the process of settling my friend Bill's affairs. His bank and old employer need a death certificate (easy). We've picked a date for a cocktail celebration of Bill's life (emotionally harder). And now it's time to find an estate sales firm to handle a house full of furniture and possessions. I have no idea how the latter works but I know I'm not the first person to go down this path.

Backstory: Bill was 95. And as a gay man of a certain age, he had eclectic and oftentimes exquisite tastes. His house was filled with antiques, shiny objects, chinoiserie, and touristy kitsch from Hawaii. And he had a chair that, sometime in the 1950s, on a drunken night, somehow left the lobby of the Palace Hotel and ended up in Bill's living room.

Anyway, this is a snapshot I took a decade ago, in said living room, taken through the very dirty viewfinder of a Kodak Duaflex TLR, using a Pentax DSLR pointed downward. In a nutshell, this is Bill.

#photography

A through-the-viewfinder TtV view of a Victorian living room, with hardwood floors, glass and wooden side tables, an antique chair, tall antique chest, treasured glassware, and a bit of an oriental rug. There is light shining into the room from shuttered windows that face the street. The square cropped photo is full of specs and dust, and is heavily distorted around the edges. Photographed using a modern Pentax DSLR that is peering down into an old Kodak Duaflex twin lens reflex camera.

The snow stopped this afternoon, and the clouds disappeared. Nordlys popped in for a bit, so I popped out to take some photos.

They haven't stopped dancing all night, but I have to get some sleep. Big day tomorrow. Big two weeks ahead.

Good night all.

Das Bild zeigt eine große Trauerbirke, die vollständig mit Raureif bedeckt ist. Der Baum dominiert die Mitte des Bildes und seine herabhängenden Äste bilden eine dichte, silbrig-weiße Masse. Der Himmel darüber ist strahlend blau mit einigen leichten Wolken. Im unteren linken Bereich des Bildes ist ein Teil eines Hauses mit einem orangefarbenen Dach und einer gelben Struktur zu sehen. Der Hintergrund besteht aus einer leicht nebligen, winterlichen Landschaft mit Feldern und weiteren Bäumen in der Ferne. Die Szene wirkt ruhig und kalt, mit dem Fokus auf den frostigen Details des Baumes.

Sunshine Rainstorm

Across the fjord, heavy rain is falling over the farmland.

Sunbeams streaming through the showers highlight the drops all the way to the ground.

It's a day of rainbows, but not at this moment.

A colour photo of a seascape with the curves of a hazy mountain range in the distance. The outline of the seashore has been picked out by sunlight striking through a rain shower. A few buildings are just visible. Low cloud is being highlighted by the sunbeams, as well as the soft random fall of rain. It's very beautiful.

A male Centrocercus urophasianus (greater sage-grouse) at dawn trying to attract a female at a mating lek. They are known for filling giant air sacks in their chests and letting out a low thumping noise. They also strut around while doing the thumping call / display. It's kind of cute, in a strange way. They are extremely sensitive birds and you can't get very close without spooking them. This photo is cropped way in.

A color landscape photo of a bird standing in dry yellow grass. The bird faces toward the camera angled toward the left. He is brown with white specks in the back, a large white fatty chest, and a dark brown head with short thin wire like protrusions sticking out. Its tail feathers from a short spiky fan in back.

#SilentSunday #photography
Yes, it's Sunday and I am pretending to be Ansel Adams. This outhouse is my Half Dome. Taken on a foggy morning at an ungodly hour, this sturdy, nearly featureless concrete building stands in profile in a field of brush and scrubby weeds underneath unrelenting gray skies. With two tiny windows, a slightly pitched roof, and two vent pipes / chimneys, this is a building without cheer, set in a landscape of bleakness and cold. The despair is evident. There is no cell phone reception and the nearest coffeeshop is 15 miles away. Monochrome.

40 years ago, while shopping for oriental rugs for an old cottage in the Castro, I fell in love with a children's pull toy: a hand carved wooden Trojan horse from Turkey (of course). Four decades later, it is still one of my favorite, non-vibrating toys.

So here it is, where I see it every morning, on a shelf just below a window in my bedroom. I took this photo yesterday, just as the morning light started to filter through the window shade. It's something calm and gentle to start off the week.

A minimalistic image of horizontal bands of different widths and textures, in varying light and dark tones. It’s actually an extreme closeup of a layer of white frost on the lower lip of an interior window sash, with some drops of condensation on the glass above it and a blurred glimpse of the wire mesh screen on the outside.

When I took this shot I was struggling with a bunch of med changes that were really wrecking me with their side effects.

Sometimes the quiet moments get loud. Feels like the planet is angry at us humans. Indeed, the entire solar system is paying attention.

The window of a second-hand shop displaying several table lamps with and without shades. There are also table lamps on shelves to the side of the window. Some of the lamps are lit. Further inside the shop are more shelves with small items. An illuminated star and a heart made of wire and fairy lights hang from the ceiling. The exterior lights of the building opposite are reflected in the window. The image is in black and white.
