Imagine travelling to NZ now! Must have been some trip.
Moeraki Boulders, New Zealand 1997
Yes, indeed! I love my Slinkies!! This guy has featured in a few of my images this past year.... I have them in color (the plastic ones) as well as the traditional metal silver one.
Oh, and to answer the question no one has asked but may be wondering, this is not a multiple exposure image; I recently saw these interesting hand-holdable prism gizmos on Amazon and ordered a set out of curiosity. They're called "Fractals" and they are kind of cool. Took me a while to get the hang of using them, though, and I haven't had a lot of experience with them yet.

You sure you want a hippopotamus for Christmas?
My, what a big mouth he has! LOL! I don't think I'll put a hippopotamus on MY Christmas wish list!

Yes it was a great trip. Beautiful country, great people.
Going over old slides is fun. Brings back memories.
Just went over some slides from a student sailing trip in 1986...
Interesting. I had to Google it to see where Tongariro Crossing was. Something very similar - green water pool (not pictured) and all - with the volcanic background landscape in the Canary Islands. Will post it tomorrow.

A private memorial? Tucked into a hollow of a cottonwood tree,, and off the beaten paths.

Beautiful; damaged
X100t f8.0 250 ISO250 - more park tree damage from the storm. Spotted this tree in a field off the main walk.

Thought I'd pop over and look at everyone's photos while Big Sur downloads. Anyway...
Wrong Direction. One of the more vexing aspects of the pandemic emergency is the huge number, perhaps a majority, of people who seem to lack the mental capacity to follow an arrow. Especially in a crowded shopping mall. I have no idea whether this is resistance or indifference. Taken while mucking about with getting more of a pushed film look while using the Classic Chrome film simulation.

Right, time for the big reboot. See you on the other side.

At the risk of "going there," I think this situation has upended humanity in incalculable ways. I would venture that many people are beyond stressed, isolated, and lost, and it affects our ability to think. When we view every single soul on earth as a possible enemy for carrying a contagious disease, it's no wonder. I'm not intending to be inflammatory, but we've traded our mental health for our physical health, and no amount of phone calls and video chats can replace face to face contact or the deep value of the actual human embrace. The whole idea of a handshake is believed to have its origins in saying "I'm unarmed and of no threat to you," and we don't even do that anymore. Now we have to gesture our goodwill toward others by staying far way from them and hiding our faces. When I was at the zoo earlier this week, I saw how some treated me and my family like a danger for just existing in a public space close to them. How do you measure that?Thought I'd pop over and look at everyone's photos while Big Sur downloads. Anyway...
