and, the layers of your long exposure are beautifully dramatic. I love how the colour progresses from dark to light, from black and white to a brilliant orange. Thank you.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
I did a lot of b&w infrastructure mainly because I had access to a darkroom at work.
But now I'm more interested in landscape photography, but I think I will start broadening my interests because of these threads.
This is the only mausoleum at the cemetery where I walk
These are old grave markers at a veteran's cemetery
These are on this grave marker and there are quite a few like this one scattered around the older part of the cemetery.
I have no idea what this image represents that is one the one above but I thought it looked cool.
This is the oldest bar in Utah and makes the best hamburgers ever.
Inside are 6 booths, a pool table and a jukebox which plays older music, Let's get drunk and screw, Mule train and others famous and not so familiar.
Thank you for sharing your work. The grave markers standing in a blanket of fallen leaves is a very poignant image. The carved image at the gravesite looks like a child being swept away by a viking ship on the current. The shuttered, practically flooded saloon looks desolate. That is my favourite photo. I’m sure it must be very inviting at other times.
It always looks like this.
One of the signs on the doors say that you must be 21 to enter the bar.
I didn't add that there's an old fashioned bar inside with what looks like the original cash register, a stuffed St. Bernard's head on the wall and inside the restrooms people have written messages for a very long time. They leave them alone. It's a single occupancy and lines form because people are reading the messages.
The ceiling is covered with 1 dollar bills but no one knows how that started.
I might have some inside photos on my other computer and will post them next week if I do.
There is a grave marker that has a bronze relief of a man and his son on it.
I stop and look at it often because it's heartbreaking.
The family lost 4 children, 3 before they were a year old, but the son with the father died when he was 10.
The father's eyes are so sad and haunted. The family sure moved around a lot.
and an extraordinary part of history and culture. I look forward to seeing the interior, if you find some photos. The messages written over the years on the wall must be very entertaining.
I switched gears and meant to write that the grave marker of the man and his son was at my cemetery not at the Star.
Here is a photo of my aunt and her cousin inside the bar which doesn't do it justice at all. This photo makes it look nicer inside then it actually is but the dawg is in it and the money on the ceiling.
The bar is pretty dingy looking inside but during water and snow skiing seasons it's always packed.
The burgers are to die for.
I looked on my computer and don't have any others of the inside.
The outside one is one I scanned so I need to find the others.
and the flame in front looks mythological. Like the River Styx in Greek Mythology which separated the world of the living from the dead. When souls reached the river, a boatman would give them a ride to the other side. I really like the image on the gravestone.

Not so fancy markers as yours. Is that sinkhole upper side a collapsed grave? Ashes to ashes. The local cemetery (names still survive nearby) is a toxic leak site for formaldehyde, and other preservatives. Peace on the ground, bad stuff below. Happy my well is way uphill. Water here freely moves further downhill.
Staring at the sill beam, cut out for the floor crossbeams in your last shot. There are few people alive now who could look at a bunch of trees and envision that building and then DO it. Nice cutouts!

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
These were shot on Sunday just as the snow and wind were picking up.
I'm going to have to find a different place to take photos. The window that I shoot through has decided to fog up...
Maybe I'll find someplace to try out the Sigma 10-20mm I just bought...

I can count on one hand the times I have seen cardinals, even with feeders. Too woodland-enclosed is my guess; they like borders, usual suburban life suits them well. Pretty girl! I have always found the hint-of-cardinal red more interesting than Mr Flamboyant. Seen any Evening Grosbeaks? Is that what the yellow/black feeder hogs are called? I have no Field Guide near me now...

The B&W ones are really nice, and super interesting--thanks, SD! Hey, gotta say--major bird lover here. And, since I'm very much attached to our own backyard 'Cardinal regulars,' I must say that the lovely photos of your Cardinals were a special delight, boriscleto.
Hey, a shout-out and best wishes to SteveJ; and, I hope all of you Guys enjoy the remainder of your long holiday weekend.
See you next Friday.

Monochrome and colour, alright!
The 'space needle and glass' is sensational, and a perfect blend of monochrome and colour.
Tell me about that falling leaf, suspended in mid air.
lol
I took a whole bunch and it just happened. The leaves were just so amazing sitting there in the dead of winter still hanging on.

I love your third shot Janis.
Excellent lighting and composition.
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
Thank you Socialprogressive.
Planning your next trip to Paradise, as winter descends?
While I'd rather be in a tropical climate
right now, where I live in San Diego isn't such a bad place to spend a winter.

No, not bad at all.
The rocky part of the La Jolla coastline was my first serious attempt at photography, 35 years ago, in black and white.

That water drop, looks more like a water rise,
and, the layers of your long exposure are beautifully dramatic. I love how the colour progresses from dark to light, from black and white to a brilliant orange. Thank you.
That's the rebound response, I think
i.e. for every action...

I'm sorry magiamma, I don't know what type of flowers they are.

Hi snoopydawg
Thank you for sharing your work. The grave markers standing in a blanket of fallen leaves is a very poignant image. The carved image at the gravesite looks like a child being swept away by a viking ship on the current. The shuttered, practically flooded saloon looks desolate. That is my favourite photo. I’m sure it must be very inviting at other times.
Janis, the bar isn't shuttered
It always looks like this.
One of the signs on the doors say that you must be 21 to enter the bar.

The father's eyes are so sad and haunted. The family sure moved around a lot.

The saloon sounds enchanting,
and an extraordinary part of history and culture. I look forward to seeing the interior, if you find some photos. The messages written over the years on the wall must be very entertaining.
What a lot of tragedy that family experienced.
Janis, I wasn't clear on my previous comment
I switched gears and meant to write that the grave marker of the man and his son was at my cemetery not at the Star.
Here is a photo of my aunt and her cousin inside the bar which doesn't do it justice at all. This photo makes it look nicer inside then it actually is but the dawg is in it and the money on the ceiling.

Thanks for finding an interior to post.
It looks very cozy. The dawg on the wall is really quirky. Your aunt and her cousin look quite bright.
the boat with the corpse and the angel
and the flame in front looks mythological. Like the River Styx in Greek Mythology which separated the world of the living from the dead. When souls reached the river, a boatman would give them a ride to the other side. I really like the image on the gravestone.

I have an old (Civil war-era) cemetery below me.

When I look at the water drop
I see the horn of a musical instrument rising up out of the water.
This was in response to Janis.

Not many this week
These were shot on Sunday just as the snow and wind were picking up.
I'm going to have to find a different place to take photos. The window that I shoot through has decided to fog up...

In my nearly 40 years at this house site
I can count on one hand the times I have seen cardinals, even with feeders. Too woodland-enclosed is my guess; they like borders, usual suburban life suits them well. Pretty girl! I have always found the hint-of-cardinal red more interesting than Mr Flamboyant. Seen any Evening Grosbeaks? Is that what the yellow/black feeder hogs are called?

No evening grosbeaks.
The closest report I saw was Williamstown, NY in Oswego county.

It sounds like a sad state of affairs for the Grosbeak,
Because of the significantly declining numbers of a variety of birds, it's especially meaningful that you photograph them.
Wonderful photos boriscleto.
It's a pleasure to see the animals you photograph so closely and intimately. Thank you.
Thank you for hosting the photography OT this week, Janis. Wow,
all of the photos are absolutely gorgeous!
The B&W ones are really nice, and super interesting--thanks, SD! Hey, gotta say--major bird lover here. And, since I'm very much attached to our own backyard 'Cardinal regulars,' I must say that the lovely photos of your Cardinals were a special delight, boriscleto.
