A black and white macro photograph of a dried hydrangea flower seen from the side, showing the thick layer of ice covering it, two frozen water droplets clinging to two petals and glistening in the sun. In the background, other flowers and branches are blurred and intertwined.

Small gems to be found in a frozen cedar I

#monochrome #blackandwhite #macro #macrophotography #icetodon #trees #photography

Black and white macro photograph of ice on the surface of cedar leaf scales. The leaf resembles an insect with two open wings, and the ice forms a kind of shiny and translucent cape spread on its back.

Black and white photograph of a rural and misty winter landscape, with snow-covered fields, a tree stripped of leaves and isolated in the foreground contrasting against the white snow, and a forest edge behind, which disappears into the greyish sky and mist.

Photographie noir et blanc d'un paysage rural et brumeux en hiver, avec des champs couverts de neige, un arbre dédudé de feuilles et isolé à l'avant-plan contrastant sur la neuge blanche, et une lisière de forêt derrière, qui se perd dans le ciel et la brume grisâtres.

The Linux project continues.

Bonus learning: you'd think older machines would struggle, but I've seen no post-install h/w issues on my 13-year-old MacBook Pro: wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, screen, touchpad, keyboard, speakers...

I suspect age is a benefit to a point, the Linux community having had more time to solve things, subverting Apple's planned obsolescence and urge to sell more regardless of environmental impact.

Here's a pic to celebrate.

Looking down a paved farm country sideroad in mid-October, the sky a bright blue with low cumulus backing the orange, yellow and red maples lining our route. As always, a few lonely telephone poles complete the picture, along with a foreground drive to some homestead just out of view on what in a few months will be tundra out this way - just northwest of Stratford, southwest Ontario.

The image features a bright blue sky as the background with a vibrant bird of paradise flower on the left and a small hummingbird perched on the right. The bird of paradise flower has striking orange and blue petals emerging from a sturdy, green stem that curves upwards with a hint of red at its base. The hummingbird, with its iridescent orange and rust-colored plumage, is perched on the tip of the flower’s stem. Its body is petite with a long, slender beak pointed forward.

Bright Smurf, Big Smurf (they can't hold you down)

#Fungi #Mushtodon #Nature #Photography #Smurf

A dense cluster of fungi growing on a rotting tree stump in a forest during autumn. The mushrooms are growing in layered, overlapping groups. Their caps vary in color, transitioning from a light yellowish-tan or golden-brown at the edges and in the center of the younger, upper mushrooms, to a darker, rich brown in the larger, more mature specimens below.

Many caps exhibit a slight concentric ring pattern or a change in color towards the center. They have a generally convex to flattened shape and appear smooth and somewhat moist or velvety.

The fungi are attached to a dark, textured wood surface, which is the tree material they are feeding on. The surrounding area is the forest floor, scattered with leaf litter in various shades of brown and yellow.

A top-down view of a forest floor rich in dark, earthy tones and fall colors. A dense layer of fallen leaves covers the ground, primarily in shades of deep orange, rust, and brown. Scattered patches of green grass and dry, pale-colored plant material are visible.

Slightly above the center of the frame, a mushroom's domed, scarlet cap instantly draws the eye. The small, distinct white flecks contrast with its bright red color, giving it a storybook appearance. Near the bottom center is a smaller splash of vivid red. A ruby-hued bloom finds itself adrift on the forest floor.

A branch which enters the frame from the bottom right corner forks on the left. It has three fresh plum blossom blooms and many young buds ready to open. Sunlight streams in from behind the tree but everything but the branch is out of focus. The blooms have tiny delicate white petals and yellow stamen.

🍓Move over James & The Giant Peach, this is Janine & The Oversized Strawberry!

Languishing in a disused field in #Poland this sun-faded behemoth fruit was once a kind of roadside attraction for a large strawberry farm. The owner clearly had some quirky marketing ideas. The farm closed long ago, but this sad-looking giant strawberry lies forgotten in a weed-choked field.

Also, does anyone else think this has some serious #Fallout vibes?

Last few days to check out these story photos and read about how I got covered in non-human bodily fluids

#LosAngeles #California #Photo #Photography #Ad #Ass #Boobs #Butt #EGirl #Lewd #NSFW #Naked #Nude #Nudity #Pussy #SelfPromo #SexWorker #Tits #LetyDoesSelfPromo

Promo photo of Lety on bending forward on a rocky shoreline to show off the sunblock on her butt during a bright, sunny afternoon for her November 2020 VI 4x Plus Story. From top to bottom, her visible attire consists of: a wide-brimmed straw hat; round, silver-tone sunglasses; a pulled-aside white bikini top; and white thong bikini bottoms. Lety is on top of some craggy boulders on a rocky ocean shoreline, the ocean off-camera behind her as she stands over a spread-out gray-with-white-stripes Turkish towel and some bottles of sunscreen. She's leaning forward at a 90-degree angle, her knees bending inwards and her palms bracing against the towel and rocks for support, while she points her ass at the camera. Lety's bikini top is pulled aside, but her tits are hidden behind her sunblock-covered ass in the foreground. She's smiling back over her right shoulder with her tongue out, happy to waste some more time posing before attempting to conquer her fear of swimming by trying to snorkel.

#monochrome #blackandwhite #snow #photography

A black and white photograph of a winter landscape shows a snow-covered field bathed in sunlight, with a forest in the background. The bright light creates contrasts between the white snow, the shadows of the trees, and the ripples created by the wind. The forest forms a dark, diagonal band running from left to right across the top of the image. A stream beneath the snow creates a diagonal trench running from left to right across the bottom of the photograph, with a shrub growing within it. The snow-softened edge is undulating, like the entire wind-swept field. Finally, in the foreground, a deer track crosses the image from left to right.

Photographie en noir et blanc d'un paysage hivernal montrant un champ enneigé sous le soleil, avec la forêt en arrière-plan. La lumière vive crée des contrastes entre la neige blanche, l'ombre des arbres et les ondulations créées par le vent. La forêt crée une bande sombre et oblique de la gauche vers la droite dans le haut de l'image. Un ruisseau sous la neige crée une tranchée oblique de la gauche vers la droite dans le bas de la photo, avec un arbuste poussant dedans. Le rebord adouci par la neige est ondulé, comme tout le champ balayé par le vent. Enfin, en avant-plan, une trace de chevreuil traverse l'image de gauche à droite.

January 10: it's Vodoun days in Benin, a special holiday for traditional culture and religion, these last years transformed into a "money maker" by the government (see comment).

More: https://amf.didiermary.fr/benin-vodun-cult-traditions/

Egúngún (Yorùbá) are masquerade or masked, costumed figure, for ancestor reverence, or the ancestors themselves as a collective force.

The spirits below are from Benin. (source unknown)

#Africa #Nigeria #Photography #Benin #Vodoun

3 colorful egungun masked spirits in Benin, standing in front of the camera (not dancing as they usually do).
Each heavy costume has a lot of embroidery, with various symbols, animals...
The dancers are fully masked, and only the people attending the same Vodoun temple know who they are.

All shot using real figures, lighting, smoke and miniature sets. I digitally illustrated the lights on the gun for added effect.

Yesterday, 4:24 p.m.

I haven't been out shooting recently (too much going on) but yesterday I drove 4 blocks up our hill to snap a picture of some townhouses that are getting new siding.

I've always been fascinated by these townhomes. Built in 1978, each has approximately 2000 square feet inside (three bedrooms, two and a half baths), with six stories in the rear but just a single story facing the street up top (where the garage is). Actually, the lower three stories of the townhomes, in the rear, are purely foundation, not living space. Because slopes.

Unsurprisingly, the townhouses have killer views of the bay and all of downtown San Francisco. Yes, $1.5M in this part of town can get you a view... but not necessarily a yard you can sit in and have a picnic or a pitcher full of martinis.

Anyway, I think the scaffolding around the building is kind of cool. So I took a picture.

#photography #NewTopographics

A tall building rises like the prow of a battleship over a steep slope in the Diamond Heights, Goldmine Hill neighborhood. The building is surrounded by scaffolding as work proceeds on the exterior siding.

The photo was taken on a dark afternoon in the rainy season (winter here). So there are gray skies above and green grass on the slope, with a few bushy things clinging to the otherwise sparsely vegetated earth.

I captured this image in an old museum on mid north coast, NSW, Australia.

Clothes washer technology developed as a way to reduce the manual labor spent, providing an open basin or sealed container with paddles or fingers to automatically agitate the clothing. The earliest machines were hand-operated and constructed from wood, while later machines made of metal permitted a fire to burn below the washtub, keeping the water warm throughout the day's washing.

The earliest special-purpose washing device was the scrub board, invented in 1797.

By the mid-1850s, steam-driven commercial laundry machinery was on sale in the UK and US. Technological advances in machinery for commercial and institutional washers proceeded faster than domestic washer design for several decades, especially in the UK. In the US there was more emphasis on developing machines for washing at home, though machines for commercial laundry services were widely used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The rotary washing machine was patented by Hamilton Smith in 1858. As electricity was not commonly available until at least 1930, some early washing machines were operated by a low-speed single-cylinder hit and miss gasoline engine.

After the items were washed and rinsed, water had to be removed by twisting. To help reduce this labor, the wringer/mangle machine was developed.

Another mild sunny day. They are still talking about potential snow on late Saturday and early Sunday. When they issue warnings very early, it typically won't happen. Some snow may be nice but no ICE (double meaning).
