Took this on my way home from work this morning.
Power plant in Providence, RI.
Heavily cropped from a horizontal with a 35mm lens. The sea gull made me think about doing a vertical crop to just include the towers and make the bird more prominent. Need to shoot it again with a 90mm lens in a vertical orientation. Project for another morning....

After some guidance from a very kindly gentleman on a photography forum, this is the end result of this piece. Thanks, WG!

I spent nearly 4 years with the pumpkin people. Last fall I switched over to Gordon, with their smurfy trucks. My girlfriend got her CDL and now we team together, Gordon is a much better company for that. She has gone homeless, like me, and should be debt free in a couple years, like me. On the photography side, she is cooking on the truck, and I'm shooting her food on the truck. It's pretty fun!
Glad that things are working out. Look forward to some food shots. I love food shots.

I love food shots too! Especially since I get to eat the good afterwards!
But really, Gordon is a much better company than SNI. Though we did recently get bought out by Heartland Express, in less than a month they had already combined terminals in PHX, and today I saw a GTI truck pulling a Heartland trailer. I hope that if GTI goes downhill after the buyout, it if after my girly has the experience to allow us to move on. In the meantime, we REALLY like GTI. Ans having this APU is the best thing since fast glass.
Humid evenings, chirping crickets and sunset surf sessions - Christmas time down under.

To me, Christmas looks like a collective nervous breakdown extended over an increasingly fraught three months... with a family argument at the end. So for the last few years I haven't celebrated it. It comes and goes, and it barely registers on my own personal Richter scale. But this year I got an invite from old friends, in the town where I used to live... so I went.
It was quite an eventful couple of days, mostly in my favourite pub, damaging my liver. The Christmas dinner itself was a bit chaotic; when the hostess threatened a friend with a carving knife, for asking if there was any more gravy, I was reminded why I gave up on Christmas in the first place.
Didn't take any pix, apart from a few snaps like this. There's a reason why I don't do portraits...

Close , but no cigar !!! It's Taughannock Falls in Trumansburg ,near Ithaca , N.Y.
This is definitely my favourite, the processing keeps it simple but detailed where required. Good work!
Visited the local mountains yesterday. Was hoping to go for something Doylemesque (I'm submitting this word to the Oxford people for consideration). The light wasn't very interesting, so I ended up resorting to the old "object in the foreground" routine, to add something of interest.

The recently built footbridge from the car park to the Adelaide airport terminal. One I will revisit at night for a colour version and hopefully they will have completed the building works in the courtyard to the right by then!

Thanks, Schtumple. It's amazing when a professional architecture photographer offers this sort of guidance to mere plebs like me. This is actually the very first thing I have ever done that I want to have printed large and hang on a wall to look at!
