Been a while since I’ve posted a lovely lynx photo…

Now this is a great photo of Falling Water:
Aaaaaa, I just love it. The snow-covered trees forming a neutral backdrop makes the diagonal slash of the river, punctuated by the house itself, all that much more prominent and dramatic. And the leftover red foliage in the lower right corner helps balance it out and make everything pop.
A sweet photo of some sweet architecture!

The moon of Prometheus, orbiting Saturn right along the edge of the F-band ring.
What an amazing photo. Jason Major has more on the photo and on Prometheus, including little videos showing how the small moon weaves in and out of the F-band, pulling bits of the band away in delicate wisps (which eventually are pulled back into the ring) — check it out here.

Was playing with the new camera and lens a while back and snapped this one of our glorious (and luminous) orbiting companion…
Given that the lens is not a fast one by any stretch and that this was taken handheld, it’s still not too bad!

With a lovely winter wonderland, wishing everyone a wonderful end of year and season of festivities!
Stay safe, take care, and see you all in the new year.

Oh. Wow. Check out these very fun photomontages of wonderful locations… and GIANT CATS!
Chilling in NYC…
Or, even better, in Toronto!
Something a bit more secluded (and surprising!)
No one seems all that concerned, fortunately.
Which is good, as kitties can be quite serene, blessing those at Lake Louise.
Of course, they love modern architecture too, and visit Calatrava’s WTC Transportation Hub.
Before ascending to the stars above.
All so much fun!

In Praise of Shadow by Hiroshi Sugimoto
(Made by lighting a candle, opening the camera lens, and leaving it open until the candle burned out. Very nifty idea, and one heck of an entrancing and beautiful result.)

I’ve just been introduced to these great works by Hilla and Bernd Becher. There’s something cool within repetition that isn’t exact actual repetition. It’s like a harmony, where each overlapping individual thing produces a richer whole and thus a distinct experience. On top of that, they can be truly intriguing, inviting fascination with the collection and collectiveness and patterns and similarities and differences and organization of them all.
(Also, check out Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Seascapes series. It is equally interesting and fascinating… especially when coupled with some great architecture and artistic placement such as at the Benesse House by Tadao Ando!)

Wow… an amazing photo of a hyper-bright meteor illuminating, well, just about everything in this photo of Lake Louise taken at night. Not twilight, but in the full dead of night. That’s just how bright this thing was. Intense and cool!
