STOP

There are three stop signs in this photo... can you spot them all? (Click image to enlarge)

Really what this is saying is "stop with the black & white". Maybe I got a little carried away with all the monochrome photos but I do have a renewed interest in that look. So stay tuned for a return to color, at least some of the time.

Frame shadow

I sometimes wonder if the artwork frame should get a mention in the museum title card. The intricate detail and amazing piecing and mitering is really quite extraordinary, yet it is only there to support the painting. Who makes these frames? 

High Reach

Not sure why I am attracted to construction but it does lend to be unordinary opportunities for lines, textures, and not seen every day equipment and angles. 

To my right

As I sit at my computer, and turn to the right, this is what I see in with late afternoon sun. Hope you enjoy your everyday simple sights too.    

Expired

This rose was fresh and fragrant ten days ago but, as expected, it is now dried up and looking diminished. If I had presented this flower, in this condition, to my wife for our anniversary I think she would not have been pleased, Yet, one could argue that even now a certain beauty persists. Similar to the aging process us humans undergo, time imprints its mark, but our essence remains beautiful, although transformed.

It is worth noting that the image was captured utilizing the macro lens of my iPhone 15 Pro, which the device automatically selected. The advancements in mobile photography are nothing short of remarkable. No longer a novelty, smartphones have evolved to adeptly handle many photographic situations.

Quiet table for two

Quiet unless the air condition system turns on. And a nice view of the electrical meters and disconnects. What could be better?
