Found objects as a series was spurred by manufactured items washed on the shores of Lake Ohrid, when Steve & I were there last May. I enjoy my categories, and I hope you do also: they get me out the door and they help me organize these post, amongst other benefits. With this series, I figured I’d mostly looking at the detritus of human consumption and manufacture, littering our planet in visually interesting and environmentally problematic ways. In that sense, this is a successor series to my short lived “Errant Masks” peak-covid series. These goats, hanging out on the picnic table at one of the two petting zoos in parks to the east and west of me here, caught my eye. They’re the ‘out of scope’ example, in this post. Goats, as living entities, are not in my view ‘objects,’ though you may find me disagreeing with myself later, if I photograph some well-dressed dog who is clearly the object of their human’s affection. 🙂 The gallery below gives “in scope” examples, all from my same shopping & photo stroll last Sunday. Manufactured items floating in canal, bag of bread sitting on a trash can, unexplained and disturbing item in gutter…
On Rte 1 in Marin County last January, heading down to SF for the flight back to A’dam. Open ocean’s just the other side of those hills and of course these are all a bit tidal wetlandy.
Quite a few accumulated sun, moon and general sky-light shots all here. Bottom right (gallery in full view mode; probably bottom photo in pared-down small-screen mode) photo with a rising sun peeking out from behind the construction was just post solstice in June; the one with a hazy ball of the sun rising futher east was just after the equinox in September. This post from last November will remind readers how that view looked before the construction really got started, and shows the Pontsteiger which I now must visit to see 😦
Gosh, more’n five years since I last lived down the street from this wonderful park. Time flies, and hopefully I’ll be seeing more of it later this year and next year on visits and more 🙂
99% certain that’s Split, in Croatia, as seen when Steve & I flew down to Tirana back in May. Below, more of the Croatia’s coastline with its many lovely islands :-).
