A black-and-white urban photo captures a modern high-rise apartment building with balconies and clean lines. Behind it stands a more industrial-looking structure with a grid-like facade and exposed upper section. In the foreground, a pedestrian bridge or overpass with metal railings crosses the scene. The architectural contrast and geometric shapes give the image a stark, modern aesthetic.

Here's Bigpaw the polydactyl taken with the same lens -- I tried to get Bob B with this lens last night and it was like taking pictures of a wild animal

Double Daffodils (1 or 2) by special request -- still on a reduced schedule because I'm (a) still developing photos from a race, and (b) my experience gets weird quick if I don't get enough sleep

10 white daffodils with white outer petals and a yellow core rising out of dark green grass-like foliage with a white cloud-like background

So I have some neighbors who have a lot of cats who aren't very friendly so I take pictures of them like birds with the Sigma set to 400mm

An orange and white cat with a pouty expression in perfect focus which looks small in a field of short cut grass which is perfectly focused around it and not so much further away

Four flowers are in the plane focus towards the center right of the frame, a few out of focus are partially visible to the top, right and bottom, but the left side is mostly dark and behind the flowers an be seen a view dark green and pointy leaves

Fall Creek At Flatrock Just Above the Suspension Bridge
#photo #photography #landscape #flatrock

Looking up a creek, downstream is to the lower left and it converges towards to upstream towards the vertical center line about 1/3 the way to the right; on the right a close bank of trees, on the left another row of trees, the water looks a little bit brown but it's clear enough to see rocks on the bottoms, quite a few rocks are sticking up, particularly close to where I am.

A 15 second exposure of my field around sunset with the camera resting on a bucket trying to capture the fireflies. I'm going to try again when its darker; I guess it counts as #sliceoflife
#photo #photography

A close cropped green grassy field with a gentle curve and a hedgerow of deciduous trees behind. A single firefly makes a spot of light next to a blade of grass to the far left, maybe 20 or so firefly spots appear in the distance in front of the trees.

My son walks past a Lincoln Continental which is one of his favorite kinds of car

Big orange blocky car with a solid looking grille and door closed over headlights parked in the middle of a grassy field with cars on all sides of it and a man in a hat walking past it.

more #sliceoflife while I develop my good photos... A side view of my fabulous 1979 Thunderbird which is already a celebrity at our gas station even if it can't win a drag race against our Honda Fit
