This is a black and white street photo in landscape format of a scene in a city park with a large statue of Charles Dickens sitting on a park bench and feeding a duck while to the right is a live man sitting on another park bench looking at the ground. Central Park NYC (2012).

In the foreground are a few pale and wide steps leading up to a stone plinth. On the plinth is the statue of Dickens sitting on a oversized park bench. The statue is dark, about three metres tall, fills a little over half the height of the photo and is viewed from about five metres away. On Dickens left leg rests a large open book. His right arm is stretched out and downwards towards a large statue of a duck as if to feed or stroke it. To the right of Dickens and the duck is a normal sized park bench with a man seated on the right side. He is wearing a baseball cap, white sweat-shirt and dark trousers. He is looking downwards and possible talking on the phone. In the immediate background is a bank rising upwards a few metres with multiple, randomly scattered trees extending across and behind. In the far background, about one km away, are numerous mid-rise apartment buildings.

A photograph of Uig Bay on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland at low tide, showing a rugged shoreline covered with weathered, richly textured rocks, shallow pools of water and areas of pale sand. The rocky foreground leads towards a calm turquoise sea, with the distant coastline beneath a dark, brooding sky.

Surfing Before School

(Description In AltText)

#NoGenAi #AltText #NoAI #No2AI #Photo #Photography #POTD #PhotoOfTheDay #Travel #Sea #Ocean #TravelPhotography #Water #California #SoCal #LA #USA #US #Surfing #Surfer #Pacific #Sport #Sports #People #Surf #LeftCoast #WaterSports #PacificOcean #HermosaBeach #WaterSport #WaterSports #CamelCase #BNW #BlackAndWhite #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Monochrome #Woman #Female

This is a black and white water sports photo in landscape format of a female teen surfing shortly after sunrise. Hermosa Beach, California (2013).

Stretching from the right edge of the photo to a little less than the half way across point is a fierce braking Pacific wave. The wave which is now a little less than two metre high, is moving from right to left, viewed from two metres above and a few metres away from the closest point. The wave has multiple streaks or lines extending at right angles to the wave, from the crest and out to sea. Ahead of the breaking wave is our young female surfer. She is positioned slightly to the right of centre in the maelstrom of white foaming surf and is in motion diagonally across the photo from the centre towards the lower left corner. Our surfer is viewed from the front, with her standing on the board sideways (standing on the board and facing to the left). She is viewed from above at five metres distant and with her occupying half the height of the photo. She is wearing a wetsuit with a the name 'Redondo' in large white lettering on the front. She has long dark and wet hair. Her left arm is held above the breaking wave as she maintains her balance, with her left leg inside the wave and her right arm is held downwards. Ahead of our surfer and the wave, is an area of moderately smooth water with lines of white foam running at right angles to the surf marking the passage of previous waves.

This was the morning surfing rush hour, just after sunrise, when many teens would dash to the beach for an hour or so of surfing before reluctantly ambling off to school. Oh, and there were one or two adults in the surf as well.

This is a black and white street photo in portrait format of the front of a cable car, packed with tourists in downtown San Francisco, California (2015).

Extending from the right edge to the centre of the image is our cable car (street car or tram). Only the wooden upper part of the cable car is visible, the wheels and chassis are out of view below the photo. It is viewed close up and with the right side in view. The cable car is filling the entire height of the photo, half the width and viewed from a metre or two away. The front portion is open with the legs and feet of the seated passengers visible hanging over the side. Between the seated passengers are vertical wooden posts supporting the roof with white poles attached to the outside enabling any passengers standing on the foot platforms stretching along the sides: to 'hang on for dear life'. Behind the open section is the enclosed cabin, made of wood at the base and with vertical rectangular windows above. On the wooden side are a few simple adverts, blurred slightly out of focus. Ahead of the cable car, the parallel set of rail tracks stretch ahead with the central metal groove hiding the all important moving cable. To the left is a further set of tracks. This and the background are heavily blurred out of focus and slightly overexposed to white. Just visible is a man, perhaps five metres away, crossing the street. Again, ahead of the cable car, on the left side of the road is a line of buildings, the uppers floors out of view above the top of the photo.

This is a grungy night time photo looking along a wooden pier aligned with and towards the TransAmerica Pyramid in downtown San Francisco (2012).

Extending away from the camera and into the distance, about 150m away is the wooden pier. The rough wooden planks that form the surface cross at right angles to the pier and stretch away from the base of the image to the centre of the photo. On the side of the pier are metal railings with illuminated ornamental street lights spaced every 3 or 4 metres and casting a star like glow or aura around the lamp. Set inwards a metre of so from the railing are pairs of park benches facing outwards. The wooden planks, metal railings and street lights converge to a point with increasing distance towards the city end of the pier. Beyond is a night time cityscape with the high-rise buildings descending downwards from the business district on the left side to the low-rise residential buildings on the right. Aligned with the pier and in the middle ground, no more that one km away, is a tall, narrow, pyramid-like skyscraper with a sharp pointed top, lit with a single light. Like all of the surrounding high-rise buildings, some of the windows are lit, most are dark. Above is a ink black, dark sky, devoid of any detail.

The Embarcadero..

This is a black and white street photo in portrait format viewing along two long, straight and parallel sets of rail tracks with an old wooden Milanese tram (street car) on the right set of tracks. The Embacadero, San Francisco (2012).

In the foreground and stretching away from the camera and into the distance are the two sets of rail tracks. The camera is positioned between the two sets of tracks, about one metre above the surface and angled along the tracks. The rails are embedded into a bed of cemented medium sized, round stones: similar to those found on a beach. The two pairs of tracks are separated by a gap of about two metres. On either side of the tracks is a pavement area, lined with street lights and taller, six or seven metres tall, evenly spaced palm trees. Strung between the streetlights are cables stretched at right angles to the street that support the power cables that run above the rail tracks. On the right set of tracks is our old Milanese tram in motion away from the camera. The tram is viewed from behind and at a distance of no more than ten metres. The tram is wooden above the wheels, has vertical, rectangular windows and is packed with people inside. Above the tram is a single gantry angled upwards and touching the power cable above. Ahead and above is a clear and cloudless sky, graduating from bright white at the base and becoming ever darker towards the top of the photo.

Victoria Harbour, 维多利亚港, Plus A Few Passing Boats

(Description In The #AltText)

#AltText #NoAI #No2AI #Photo #Photography #POTD #PhotoOfTheDay #Travel #Sea #Ocean #TravelPhotography #Water #CamelCase #BNW #BlackAndWhite #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Monochrome #Harbour #Boat #Boats #Nautical #Maritime #MotionBlur #LightTrail #LightTrails #HongKong #VictoriaHarbour #Night #Dark #Cityscape #UrbanPhotography #City #China #Asia #Asian #Chinese #香港 #香港島 #维多利亚港

This is a black and white nighttime cityscape, long exposure photo of a body of water with the light trails of passing boats and a high-rise waterfront cityscape in the background. Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong (2018).

The dark harbour water rises from the base of the photo upwards to a little above the half way up level. The water at the base is pitch black with it becoming an undulating silver tone from the reflection of the bright lights of the distant, about one to two km away, high-rise waterfront cityscape. From the quarter up level to the top of the photo are a series of random wavy lines crossing the image horizontally from left to right, light trails caused by passing boats and a long camera exposure. Around the centre section of the photo, the lines are much brighter and clearly defined, with the lines towards the top having a dimmer less distinct, almost mist like appearance. Beyond, is the city's waterfront lined with multiple, brightly lit skyscrapers, many with large and illuminated signs on their roofs. Some with lighting in the shape of Christmas decorations stretching the height of those buildings, one with 'Seasons Greetings' in large neon lettering near the top. The rapidly rising terrain behind the waterfront is obscured by the misty light trails towards the top of the image.
