Chose a terrible time to be less of a massive introvert. He/him, British, in Seattle.

#Fotovorschlag - 'Negative Space'

A model of mine workings at #jerome, #arizona - from July 2013.

#mining #museums
A flattened, anatomical heart shape - orange-brown and slightly shiny - suspended in horizontal layers of thin, stiff structural wires, above an out-of-focus, illuminated white table with a faint grid inscribed on it. A spatial negative of mine workings - with the heart shape indicating a vast mineral seam, and the horizontal wires the tunnels dug to extract it.

#silentsunday
Vast grey mudlfats, criss-crossed by water reflecting a hazy, clouded sky - receding to a distant horizon with faint, rugged hills and mountains in the far distance. Two small fishing boats - dinghies with outboard motors - lie on the flat mud in the near foreground. From the train between Seattle and Vancouver BC, August 2012.

Also for #saturdaySignage - from #CarsingtonWater, #Derbyshire - March 2025.
A muddy, shallow bank covered with rough, short grass - leading into quiet water reflecting a blank sky, with a small sign emerging from the water - a black-lined yellow triangle with a pictographic person not waving, but drowning, and the word 'DANGER' below, merging with its own reflection.

I have ... many photos of off-kilter signs, which I've been idly trying to find an excuse to share. So, equipped with the imaginatively alliterative #saturdaySignage hashtag whatsit, here's the first - from #PointReyes, #California back in June 2015...

#signs
Rectangular road sign, brown with grey-white text: "Historic Life-Saving Station Cemetery" with an arrow to the right, at the side of a road with a grassy hill, dark trees and a hazy sky behind.

Alternate angle of previous shot - can't decide which one I prefer? From Shining Cliff Woods, Derbyshire earlier today. (I have ... more dismal photos of derelict buildings as well! So cheerful.)

[Original post on pixelfed.hylobatidae.org]
Very early spring trees - a bank of dense woodland bereft of leaves except for explosions of blue-green ivy - reflected in a near mirror-like pond, with a fallen, moss-covered bleached tree trunk creating complex, writhing reflections in the water.

Guess what - #Mallorca again, with a conveniently placed random passer-by. October 2019...
View along an old, narrow alleyway - walls of rough plaster and blocky stonework, with graffiti below and shuttered windows and balconies above, and a man in a pinstriped shirt jauntily walking away from the camera at a distance along the alleyway.

#Fotovorschlag : 'Im Nirgendwo' / 'In the middle of nowhere'

On the approach to the Experimental Breeder Reactor I, somewhere in #idaho...
Long, straight two-lane tarmac road stretching off into the distance, telegraph poles to one side, through a wide plain of sagebrush - steep, eroded mountains in the far distance to one side - and a strange, anonymous, block-like building on the horizon, all beneath a complex, clouded, hazy blue sky.

Red hawthorn berries, against an out-of-focus green background - each with a droplet of bright rainwater underneath, sharply focusing distant branches against an overcast sky. Derbyshire, earlier today.

... and some more miscellaneous #mosstodon from today. (With some bonus #lichenSubscribe which didn't fit in the previous post...)

#Derbyshire #macroPhotography
Dense, fluffy, vividly green moss almost completely obscuring a dry stone wall except for its shape - below a dense, bare, hawthorn hedge. More fluffy green moss on vertical, branching twigs of alder - recently cropped at the top by a flail. Pale, white bracket fungi on a dark, vertical branch in a hedge. Strange, flat, dark blue-green leaf-like lichen (?) with orange-brown ovoid fruiting bodies at its edges - surrounded by fluffy green moss and bare bramble branches.

Some #Derbyshire #lichenSubscribe from earlier today...

(Light was pretty terrible, so it was amazing I got so much so sharp and in focus...)

#macroPhotography
Close-up of red berries on a cotoneaster - narrow, splayed branches, with colourful yellow-green-blue encrustations of lichen. Small twigs covered in lichen, against a bright overcast sky - with a dangling droplet of water bright against the twig behind it. Closely packed blue-green-grey trumpets of lichen in close-up. Yellow-green and blue-grey lichen, strange flake-like and flattened trumpet-like shapes in an undulating carpet, completely hiding the surface below.

#Fotovorschlag 'Alles was Fühler hat' / 'Everything that has feelers'

A likely Rhagium mordax, the black-spotted longhorn beetle - just after being rescued from Cromford Canal, #Derbyshire - May 2021.

https://www.naturespot.org/species/rhagium-mordax

#insects #macroPhotography #MacroMonday
Beetle with long, teardrop-shaped abdomen - a mottled yellow with black spots - seen side-on, perched on the end of a green, broken plant stem - it long, segmented antennae curling downwards. A few drops of water - on its formidable mouth-parts and the pointed tip of its abdomen - reveal how it had just been rescued from a swim in the nearby canal...

Finally, something new – and on nearly fresh film, too! Too bad it's out of production, I only have one more roll. Rather liked the colours.

Night-time photo of a foggy outdoor scene at an airport. A long terminal arm stretches off into the foggy beyond, lit up by tall and bright lamp posts. Outside are roads and logistics equipment, with pedestrian crossings painted on the tarmac. It's all grey, industrial and not very pretty. The fog isn't helping, either.

Apparently I've reached 500 followers on this 'ere self-hosted #Pixelfed thingy! Blimey. Thus, I thought I'd post something appropriately celebratory - then my brain declared it had better ideas.

So, have a duck.

Apologies, all.

(From #BushyPark, west London, January 2019. #birds #ducks)
A duck, dabbling in a pond, surrounded by ripples - but upended, with just the underside of its rear visible - bright orange ankles just poking out of the water, and a slight dimple in the silvery grey feathers where its bumhole would be.

For #saturdaySolitude - an abandoned house below #ShiningCliffWoods, #Derbyshire, from August 2021.

#dereliction #abandonedbuildings #abandonedplaces
View in through the side of a derelict building into a room with a collapsed ceiling - peeling paint and dangling wooden laths - beneath a dark roofspace with wooden eaves below the backs of roofing tiles. The walls of the room are mottled with algae and mould, the window is boarded shut from the outside with rotting curtains draped over the windowsill, and a tiled fireplace regurgitates a mass of debris on to the rubbish-strewn floor.

White swan with bowed neck, looking back towards camera - caught in bright light on a dark, leaf-strewn stretch of water, with low foliage in the background reaching down to the waterline. Cromford Canal, Derbyshire, September 2025.

Latest wintry photographic theme - overgrown old hedges by the sides of narrow country lanes. Definitely #mosstodon adjacent? #Derbyshire, yesterday...
Dry, twisting ivy roots growing along and obscuring a near-horizontal branch in an old hedge - a mass of blue-green ivy leaves below, a rough green grassy field behind, all in overcast light. Wizened, bare branches of possibly alder, in a vague skeletal shape - remains of an old hedge, with wire fencing functionally replacing it. Twisted, knotted branches in an old hedge, with patches of moss - closely cropped many times in the past by rough machinery. Bulbous, warty and otherwise smooth branches in another old hedge - with a generous covering of fluffy green moss, in thoroughly overcast, wintry light.

Twisted, bare branches enveloped by fog, reaching over a damp, single-track country lane at the bottom of a deep hollow.

Miscellaneous #mosstodon, from earlier today. #Derbyshire #mist
Bulbous clumps of fluffy, vivid green moss on the branches of an old hedge, beneath a misty grey sky. More fluffy, vividly green moss interspersed with small, dark blue-green ivy leaves on twigs in an old hedge. Moss on a thick, smoothly sinuous branch curving out of the remnants of a sparse section of old hedge. Moss-covered base of a thick tree trunk, with dew-laden cobwebs strewn between short twigs.

Fungus on just one tree, at the side of an old #Derbyshire country lane - seen earlier today.

#mushtodon #sporespondence #naturePhotography
Broad, rotten, off-vertical tree trunk - covered in ivy and thick roots - with a profusion of pale, fleshy, gilled fungi growing out from one side. Further up that same tree - beneath a mass of ivy, the end of a sawn-off branch, with a splash of orange-yellow fungi growing out from the centre. Fleshy, waxy-topped bracket fungi with pale gills on their undersides, growing out from a mossy crevice in a tree trunk. A mass of ivy and roots, almost fully obscuring a tree trunk, with pale fleshy bracket fungi growing out from the centre.

A misty, damp winter's scene - a broad, old tree trunk emerging from the mossy, raised edge of a country lane - covered in thick ivy roots bursting into leaf further up, with bare tree branches as complex tributaries against the pale sky. Derbyshire, earlier today.

More for #saturdaySolitude - from the demolition of the Convention Place station, #Seattle, August 2018.

#dereliction #Demolition
Thick, greenish hosepipe snaking its way along the base of large heaps of weathered rubble and debris - a flat concrete surface in the foreground has collected water, faintly reflecting a modern building against an overcast sky. Neatly arranged piles of crumbled, grey concrete in a stark, dusty concrete landscape, seen from above - with torn white plastic sheeting partially covering wide, dark, empty window-frames, sparse graffiti on vertical surfaces and a heap of twisted metal fragments in an open space in the foreground.
