This exchange between Trump and Jerome Powell is like a TV sitcom.

Trump quotes a new figure for the renovations at the Fed. Powell shakes his head. Trump shows him the paper and says "it just came out." Powell explains that Trump added an irrelevant building... that was built five years ago.

Another from Durham Cathedral, this time the interior, shot mid-morning on a sunny day.

While the building mostly pre-dates the Gothic style, its windows still admit more than enough light to create some beautiful interior effects.

A surprise find on #lawnpatrol today - an aquilegia/columbine of some sort popped up under the wax-leaf privet. 🖤🌸🌿#bnwmacro #MacroHour #blackandwhitephotography #ClassicMono #Flowers #NaturePhotography #EastCoastKin

I went out for a walk at dusk a few evenings ago and made this image of a flowering tree that had branches hanging down over the neighbor's fence.

Horizontal black and white close-up photo of one branch on a flowering tree. Several small white flowers are visible on the tip of this branch. The flowers generally open toward the left side of the frame. On a few of the flowers, the stamen are visible inside the individual blossoms.

Last #Scape from me today. Again from my archive.

Loch Gairloch and the Torridon Mountains, Wester Ross, Scotland. April 2007

I posted a colour version of this a couple of months ago... I think I prefer this version.

#Scotland #Torridon #ClassicMono #Landscape #Scotland #EastCoastKin
Taken at 7:00am it shows the dark steel grey of the loch, in the middle distance low cloud / mist cloaks the lower hills and fills the valleys. In the background the Torridon Mountains tower above the scene. Gentle light from the rising sun illuminates the top of the mist and the peaks of Torridon. The sky above the mountains is clear, but at the top of the photo above my head a band of dark, angry cloud hints at bad weather to come.

Our forsythia had an especially good spring this year. Lots of wonderful little yellow flowers. Here's a photo of a few of them :).

#ClassicMono #BlackAndWhite #photography #flowers
Horizontal black and white close-up photo of some small forsythia flowers and the branch from which they're sprouting. The branch runs slightly diagonally from the lower left corner to the top middle of the frame. The flowers are on two smaller branches that have grown to the left and right of the main branch and form a Y shape. Some out-of-focus trees are visible in the background in the lower left corner. The rest of the background is empty sky.

I worked near this building years ago and thought it was very boring. Sometimes you need to change your perspective.

I photographed this beautiful glacier in September 1993, because of climate change much of this glacier has retreated and the toe of the glacier was visible from Highway 37A about halfway between the Meziadin Junction and Stewart. Bear Glacier Provincial Park is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada. The photo was taken with a Tachihara 4x5 view camera and a 120mm lens. Kodak T-Max film.

I recently read about takeonesmallstep.org in @jesscraven101.bsky.social's Chop Wood, Carry Water Substack newsletter. It's a really interesting (though personally terrifying) idea that I think could be very helpful in such polarized times. I think I'll give it a try 🙂.

Tumbleweed takeover: White Valley

#tumbleweeds #landscapephotography #photography #blackandwhite #sandstone #cliff #utah #grandstaircase
#wilderness #hiking #blackandwhite
This sandstone cliff face has a bowl-shaped level halfway up. The bowl is filled with tumbleweeds, as is the gradual slope below it all the way to the bottom of the wash. Just above the bowl is a cave-like depression, and above that the sky is dark with puffy, wispy clouds.
