I have sooooo found my new fav location for carphotography.

I initially intended to call it "cloud factory" but didn't take the time to wait for the clouds to actually fill more of the frame. Cool place though, and completely free of grafitti.

Flowers of Pulsatilla vernalis along the path to the Rugiai (Western Grosina Valley), last monday, when weather was finally worsening (or,better, improving) after months of drought. Today they are under 20 cm (or more) of snow...

Paris twilight (and no, I didn't fix the white balance, and the blue cast is party of the evening ambiance for me so I have no interest in fixing it).

And a waiter... reflecting.

I mentioned how they want to make the canals accessible for boating again.

This is next to the pile of tires. Completely Burtynsky territory.

[32BT]

And no, I'm not saying my eye is anywhere near as good as his, or that the pictures have anywhere near the interest. It's just that kind of industrial area where you could create an image full of rich detail with a specific mood.

Next to the pile of rubble:

... Completely Burtynsky territory.

There is also some of that New Topographics feel.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Ah, the joys of Scenic Boating!

[32BT]

There is also some of that New Topographics feel.

Yep, "Manufactured Landscapes", although it is of course not quite of similar scale as say an average australian mine-pit.

Today was another gray day, so excellent atmosphere for more "scenic canal" images. I have yet to process those images, but I noticed that serendipity had strikken again. Apparently the crane in the previous image was there only for (un)loading a shipment. When I drove by yesterday a ship was mored, and today the crane is gone...

Unfortunately, the previous images were shot with the little WX350 on a tripod, and the image stabilising seems to have been confused by that, so the pixels aren't quite what they could be, despite stacking. However, for the book I'm imagining, it likely is usable anyway.

[32BT]

This precedes the previous scenery.

At our town the canal starts with a split, clearly indicating which direction you'll be heading in. So i would like to create a book that opens in the middle, and you can either page your way left, or right, with pictures of the corresponding direction and a bit of background about what is shown in the picture.

I think that first building is possibly supposed to represent domino pieces...

Considering Edward's pepper, every photographer should have his/her odd vegetable. I came across this union yesterday. Really, i'm not crying. (I can see the lens CA even at this size, so maybe i am crying).

[petermfiore]

Great shot...But unions always make me cry for so many reasons.

Oxalis acetosella L. (forest road Piaz-Bainoghi) and Clematis alpina (L.) Mill. (near the ravine of "The Crosc")

The phantom cat observed my camera technique. I spotted him and thought he was an apt subject for experimentation on a nice clean green background of grass.

This little sucker managed to sneak inside. After a long struggle I managed to get it outside unharmed but he was so exhausted that he stayed for a pose for quite some time. I finally got to use that Tamron 150-600 which has been collecting dust. I'm sure tomorrow my left shoulder will remind me of today
