My first entry for this week's challenge tells a sad story, one that is still being written all over the world. Each one of those empty, surplus chairs from June of 2020 was from the desk of a person, an employee who contributed to the success of an aerospace manufacturer. Every empty chair represents an …

If I am not mistaken, there are two S's in Tennessee. We flew there in April of this year to attend a Hillsdale College seminar, and a Ricochet meetup with our internet friends we hadn't met yet. Below are some pictures I took of places we went in Tennessee. This is the landscape of the …

So, what motivated my friend Cee to choose reflections and shadows for this week's fun challenge? I see, she fell right into my hands... Reflections and shadows are some of my very favorite photographic subjects! Bodies of water are excellent for reflections, aren't they? Especially if the water is flat, mirror-like.

I got in my car and headed down to the ferry dock in Edmonds, to see if I could capture the wind (well, not the wind, but maybe some effects!). Here's some …

It looks like this …

When the Original Designer finds a scheme that is simple, elegant, and effective, He tends to employ that design across species and materials. That Original Design is "branching". This is the scheme used in the …

Changing weather, seen from the window over my desk at work.
I am sort of an architecture buff. I love taking pictures of unusual buildings, especially those from the Art Nouveau or Art Deco periods of the 20th Century. But I keep my eyes open wherever I am, and that has enabled me to photograph a number of interesting buildings. This is the modern A T …
