O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

Market Street in a northern town. Man with shopping bag walking away from the camera, just beyond a “road works” sign. Shops on both sides of the street run off into the distance where the church tower can be seen.

Romanesco cauliflower grows in tiny pyramids, looking like a strange green building or space ship. You can see the leaves in the photograph.

Happy Friday from #Japan!

As we are approaching the peak of #autumn, I present 4 previously unpublished photos of a seasonal illumination event at Kodaiji Temple in eastern #Kyoto some years ago. Details in ALT.

#photography #naturephotography #scape #ArtYear #EastCoastKin @bskyphotos.bsky.social
Arriving on the premises of Kodaiji. Many people flock to these "light-ups" (as they are called in Japanese) at the peak of the season. At the Dry Garden (karesansui) of Kodaiji, there was a vibrant illumination with a rotation of striking colors. The colorful reflections off the still surface of the pond were the highlight of the visit for me. There is a small bamboo forest on the temple premises, that was also illuminated to great effect.

'Into the Void'

Manhattan skyscrapers swallowed by winter fog which had a profound muted effect on the city acoustics!

This atmospheric monochrome photo captures an extreme low-angle perspective, looking vertically upward into a dense, atmospheric fog that envelops towering urban architecture. The image's dominated by strong vertical lines & high contrast, creating a stark, almost abstract representation of a city veiled in mist. On the left, a massive skyscraper ascends dramatically, its many horizontal window lines converging towards a vanishing point high above, the very top completely lost to the thick, grey haze, suggesting immense height and the overwhelming presence of the weather. Mirroring this on the right, another building rises, characterised a repeating patterns of dark, recessed windows framed by solid vertical and horizontal lines. This structure also disappears into the oppressive, monochrome sky. In the lower-left corner, a third building is partially visible. This structure has a slightly different, more ornate architectural style, with an illuminated section at its peak where several windows glow with light, providing the only source of bright illumination within the composition besides the diffused light from the sky. The sky itself is a vast expanse of greys, a featureless void where the fog has completely obscured any view of the true sky or sun. The transition between the solid forms of the buildings & the ethereal fog is soft & gradual, adding to the mysterious and somewhat isolating mood of the shot. The overall feeling is one of urban grandeur meeting natural elements, where the man-made structures are humbled by the pervasive fog. The lack of colour emphasises the textures, shapes & the interplay of light & shadow. The composition uses the edges of the frame to suggest an environment that extends far beyond what is visible, a dense concrete jungle shrouded in a silent, grey blanket. The perspective distorts the usual perception of height, making the viewer feel small & encased within this towering, misty canyon. The silence of the scene is palpable.
