Light And Dark Kissing

 

7 Images From A Night Walk

Maybe it's just me, but it just seems that everything takes on an extra layer of meaningfulness by night.

Also, I just felt somehow "in the wrong" photographing things in dark alleys, like people were going to report me for acting suspicious.  But that's nonsense, isn't it -- given that if it's all A-OK to photograph something by day, it should be OK to shoot it at night.

But that could just be my memory of all that wrongdoing I'm guilty of doing at night, way back when.

 

Amazingly Vivid Cloud At Sunset

You'd almost believe it's North Korean missiles falling behind my apartment^

Cloud Watch III

It was curiously reminiscent of a recumbent figure at the beginning (when I first noticed it, that is), until the "head" decided to float off by itself, then melt away...

A Few More

 

Irasshaimase!

I was reminded of Japanese touts in Kabukicho dragging tourists in as they yell "Welcome to our establishment!  This way, please!"

 

Waxing And Full Moon

Two views of the object of my one-sided love, taken 8 days apart last month.

Two Very Pretty Moths

in one elevator ride.  Yesterday I set out on my daily haunt, and by the elevator I saw this:

 

A not quite white-on-white moth.

If it had landed just a couple inches higher it would have achieved true white-on-white camouflage.

So I took the elevator down and as I stepped out into the lobby, there was this moth:

Looked like the same species as this and this.

Then today, as I came back from my usual walk and stepped out of the elevator, I remembered the white moth from yesterday (I forgot to check on the other one downstairs, sorry), and yes, it was still there.  The cleaning staff had missed it!  Maybe the incomplete camouflage works better than I thought^

Ducks In A Row

Actually a column, not a row, but how often do you get to say that phrase...?^

Taken At The Golden Hour

 

Another one that impressed me as being fairly surrealistic/dreamlike without being overtly weird.

Errant Arrow

The Outlyer

"THIS WAY, This Way,THIS WAY, This way, this way, this..."

"No, you're all wrong, it's that way"

From The Archives, Again

Taken on one of my many jaunts to Santa Monica Beach, California.

Powerlift By A Cross

"Power in the Blood"*, I mean "Power of the Cross"^

Actually, another one from the OCD Guy walking around with a camera.

Turbulent Skies

 

Fat Rogue

Like an obese Robin Hood...

Upside Down

Here's a view of a cicada you don't often get to see^

I promise this is the last cicada post of the year^

 

The Correct Orientation..?

Which would it be?  I've forgotten.

Another One Of "Those" Pics

Taken at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul a few years back.  Everything was closed for covid, but there was this one lone staffer continuing to do his job, whatever it was.
