Strategic planner/facilitator. Favorite travel destinations are Norway & Paris. No justification for dehumanizing others. Some days I binge TV and Nordic noir. Lifelong Minnesotan.

Morning sun through crabapple leaves as they transition from spring bronze to summer green color.

If I was a serious photographer, I'd have opened the window and removed the screen for a cleaner image, but in these darkening times I'll grab whatever beauty I can in the moment.

Charlie Brown runs with great determination to kick a football. At the last moment ball holder Lucy pulls the football away and watches Charlie Brown's kick momentum carry him tumbling into the air. Charlie Brown finally lands hard on his back with his face showing his disbelief.

FB's AI does not appear to read imagery well. At all. (Check out the guesses below the photo.)
Below the Elliott Erwitt photograph "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon, New York City, 1988" is Facebook's AI guessing that the photo is about the girls in the apartment and blind to the gigantic Snoopy balloon outside the window.

Ministry of Culture and Communication, Paris (personal photos 4/01/2024)
I was attracted to the interesting screen façade uniting two buildings for a common purpose without ignoring their differences.
When the Ministry of Culture and Communication relocated their offices to two adjoining buildings near the Louvre in 2006, they faced one problem: the first building was a classic Parisian beauty built in 1919, whilst the second was a simple office block dating back to 1960. Tasked with creating a concept to combine the two in a way that would place equal importance on both, top architect Francis Soler wrapped both buildings in one unifying façade: a stylish metal lattice. Striking yet unobtrusive, the façade cleverly unites the two offices in the most simple of ways.
