I think that people who live in a city are so used to certain structures that they just fade away and they see the new interesting thing that was put in front of them.
For people who do not live in that particular city, though, the styles might look a bit clashy.
I find photographing in cities difficult – mostly because most cities are full of people who do nothing but get in my way.
Not all of the photos were in infrared.
Once upon a time, I visited Paris with an infrared camera.
I didn’t stay long, so the photo set is pretty small.
Butterfly cosplaying as a sun dial.
Kinda weird how, in 2019, only the left wing was ragged.
The pattern on the outside/lower side of their wings helps them to camouflage when landing on bark. This only works, though, when they actually land on bark.
I got a new lens quite some time ago that I was really looking forward to. Unfortunately, it is too big and bulky to take on interesting travels, so I took it to a butterfly garden … which didn’t let me use the flash that the lens really requires.
Then I spent a year not doing much traveling or photography at all. Maybe I’ll get to use it more come summer.
And stone not-lanterns. I assume this stone did something to offend the garden keeper.
Look! It’s another stone lantern.
The lens works pretty well on stone lanterns though.
I like the look that the LensBaby lenses give you, but it’s extremely hard to track a moving animal with them. The squirrel isn’t posed as I’d like, but this is the best that can be done most of the time.
Frankly, the prevalence of the phrase “hog wild” led me to expect a bit more dynamism.
The badger-run sushi industry is still at a low maturity level.
Puma that accidentally followed a link to 4chan.
I know it’s hard to believe in January, but once it was so hot outside that the rabbits melted.
Did you know that Vancouver has lion turtles?
Seal of disapproval.
Turns out that adding those little spikes to things don’t always keep birds away.
I do not remember if I have posted this set before. In the last two years, I have had numerous photo processing failures, involving software, disks, and laptops. Thankfully, I have had good backups. There were also network issues, server issues, numerous time management issues and many other competing priorities. I processed this particular set at least three times.
But here you are – a stone lantern.
