Lechrauschen.
...at the place where the river Lech emerges from the Alps and drops into a narrow rocky canyon just outside Füssen... The canyon was formed around 12,000 years ago at the end of the Würm glaciation.

Our antenna array consists of 7 masts spaced about 80 feet apart. Numbers 2, 4, and 6 are 40; tall and have a tri-band beam antenna for 10m, 15m and 20m. Below that are the feed points of 80m and 40m dipoles.
Masts 1, 3, 5 and 7 are 32 feet tall and are used to hold up the ends of the dipoles.
Other bands are placed on tripods within the antenna zone (open only to authorized personnel).

Roughly the bottom half is a shallow but wide creek with a few rocks visible above the water and others visible below the water,  a little bit of a vegetated bank comes in at the middle left.  The main event is a tall waterfall of brown rock with a large number of cascades on it;  there are a lot of trees to the left,  with a fall kind of green that was real,  not just color graded,  and an almost perfectly clear blue sky above it.

Man attempts high jump at Trackapalooza 2025 held at Groton High School way in the Northeast corner of Tompkins County
#photo #photography #sports

We're looking almost edge-on to the high jump and a man with dark glasses, billed cap and nike shorts seems suspended in the air just about the bar with his arms spread out wide and torso almost horizontal while his legs are bent at the knee at an almost 90 degree angle -- behind him are two volunteers watching who are running the event and a blue tent, a high school building, lots of grass,  pennant flags and two athletes milling around

"I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character."
-Tim Curry

Wide shot of the new Computer Science building and the plaza in front of it as seen from Gates hall. They're putting in lots of landscaping and digging a pond on the other side and I'm excited to get a shot of that side as soon as I can
#photo #photography

Building in a shape a bit like an "L" but with a more than 90 degree angle which notably has alternating light and dark stripes of stell and glass sections on the upper floors and stone-colored and glass sections of a different width at the base.  In front find a plaza with large concrete wlakways and sections of short cropped grass with a few trees recently olanted and streetlights and behind a blue sky punctuated with white cumulus clouds.

Statue of Alexander Stewart Webb [1] in Gettysburg, PA who received a Metal of Honor for his bravery there

Looking up on a tall pillar to a statue of a man wearing a hat with a wide brim and a double breasted jacket and I think two swords against a light grey sky.

Petunias in front of the public library in Newark Valley, NY
#photo #photography #buildings #architecture

A huge clump of petunias mostly fills the lower left 1/4 of the frame,  a similar clump can be seen further away and behind both of those a flagpole with an American and POW/MIA flag and a small historic brick building with a square footprint seen corner-on.  Behind it all a blue sky with high-altitude clouds with power lines that don't quite meet at a 90 degree angle because I used a wide angle lens and I was looking up from the ground.

Today's was one of those days if I had any sense I would have stayed home and developed photographs but no, I had to go step in deep mud to take a picture that wasn't a keeper so I rinsed my shoes at Flatrock

In the foreground a pair of Puma sneakers mostly white with black heels and a black insert on the side outliner in red;  these are on a rock and in the background find a wide creek with lots of rocks and a green forest on the other side

Claude Sonnet 4.0 describes the image as: "I can see this is a black and white scene showing two characters in what appears to be a dramatic confrontation. One figure wears an ornate, metallic costume with distinctive armor-like detailing, while the other is dressed in white with a wide-brimmed hat. The setting appears to be an interior space with clean, futuristic architecture typical of science fiction productions. The composition and lighting suggest this is a pivotal dramatic moment between…

Game screenshot with a hand holding a wide-bordered cell phone with a red background screen with an anime-style classroom with students and desks in the background.  Near the middle of a screen there is a trapezoidal speech bubble with a boy saying "This is UP8 here -- we ain't got nothin' to worry about!"

Very close wide angle disroted picture of a cat's head a bit to the right of the center of the frame and looking to the right with the eats sticking out at wide angles.  Behind her is a linoleum floor which is mostly cream colored except for a green L-shaped stripe which has a duct tape edge,  and a bucket (something leaks) and a bit of a wood and glass corner cabinet and a totally blown out window.

Wide shot along the length of a running track parallel to a long jump,  in the far distance see a high school building, and to the left in the distance a few tents where the event is being run out of.  A line of clouds can be seen in the blue sky to the far right.

#gettysburg #history #photo #photography

A wide picture with an almost straight path that curves to the left in the distance with a young man wearing dark grey pants and a blue and white shirt standing on one side of it.  To the right there is a strip of close mowed grass and then a field of taller grass with a few psoradic trees,  to the right close cut grass with stone walls and primitive rail fences
