East River, BK. bushfire pollution, 2015.

#evening #blueskyartshow #photography #nyc
An unfiltered square shot of E River at Williamsburg bridge, during regional bushfires of 2015 which cast a smoke haze across the city. The whole sepia palette is lit up in the top diagonal cnr by the setting evening sun. In the fire ground, the rich red of a truck crossing the bridge towards the lens, vainly punches through the light to little effect. The eerie eve is compounded by a lack of traffic save the truck at one of the busiest times of day. In the far shot you can make out the World Trade Centre (center 🤪)

I’ll take Stillness for 500 alex.

#photography #france
A portrait orientation shot, early evening, of one of the canals/water inlets in Strasbourg which seem to be everywhere (in Strasbourg 😏) in the fore, the slightly rippled water reflects a blue sky partly covered with highly contrasted clouds. The water also reflects the trees and buildings on both banks. Strangely the river reflects the building on the right, some type of apartment residence, while the camera view of it directly is blocked by a tumbling shrub or ivy. At the farthest point you can make out a computed patchwork of lime wash and timber houses in the colours of the region, blue, pink, cream. A tall spruce or fir points to the sky on the left bank. A complex picture remarkably still, save for a couple slowly walking along the left bank.

today’s lean-to.

#photography #france #tree
A tiny residential piazza in mid afternoon, shot portrait, black and white. Nothing is even nor symmetrical. A cobble forecourt dusted by fallen autumn leaves, gives way to and iron fences portion of lawn, boundaries further by a stone wall bedecked with shrub and ivy. To the right a french style three storey with rural style window shutters, which due vignette seems to lean in the same direction as an adorable tree that’s dealing with the sun and with physics. It fans out like the capillaries of an eyelid or a soft dogs ear. Yes my writing is a little floral today that’s France for you. x

so wanted a book yet couldn’t decide.
A portrait shot of a corner book store in Colmar, France. The store has a sign “Librarie Certitude”. The store has a yellow and brown timber and lime wash maisons a colombage look. I considered the Cats 2026 calendar but i have bluesky.

It’s the front of Strasbourg Cathedral if you hurt your neck a bit.

#photography
Two green metal doors, slender and tall (guessing 24 ft) point towards the most stunning and detailed typaneum and archivolts, full of statues and reliefs of male and female characters in various states of emotional distress. The doors are flanked by 5 characters each side (guessing apostles or saints) and with christ on a slender central pillar between the doors. Beyond the arches multiple crockets as thin slender leaves (or spikes) form a structure similar to organ pipes. The whole results is a stocky, strong structure formed from multiple delicate pieces in red stone- lending a pink hue which changes colour as the day changes. They could do this in 1489 - blows my mind.

#strasbourg showing off

#photography
A twilight/sunset shot down one of Strasbourg’s multiple canal or river views, with a cloud interrupted sunset bouncing off the water. The illuminated sky frames tree and bush lines, picking out the dark iron bridge railing against the bright water reflection. This was shot in portrait around… 6pm ish. There is a post rain stillness.

gm #paris

#photography
Black and white portrait format shot of a street from a first floor window in Courcelle, Paris. A gap between sparsely leaved trees across a street to the first and upper stories of a typical paris residence of 6 storeys included glazed pied a terre style roof units, elegant tall glazed windows that open casement style, some with iron railings and flower boxes. A second similar building at an offset angle to the right adds depth. The top of the photo has the alcove and part of the window shutter from residence I’ve stopped at, rudely interrupting the shot at the angle.

Picture in black and white from behind the drum kit, portrait view, with the snare and two toms in the fore, with a pair of old battered sticks pointing at the lyrics to screamager by Therapy,while two guitarists discuss the arrangement in the background against an upright piano and a marshall stack in the corner. The lights flare petal shapes on the ceiling.

The rain at Guggenheim, Bilbao.

Statue - Puppy, by Jeff Koons.

#photography
A shot of the Bilbao Guggenheim from the city side (apropos the river). Sandstone pavers covered in rain reflect the silver metallic museum buildings that look like distinctive tin foil. In the foreground, a couple hugs. In the mid, stands Jeff Koons puppy, my guess 30 foot tall, a statue which looks like the silhouette of a seated westie or highland terrier. Covered in seasonal plants, he looks obedient. The sky has some post rain blue which picks out the curved auxiliary building to the right. Landscape. iPhone.

The best pint in Dublin? The Gravediggers. #Glasnevin
A post storm Amy shot of the Gravediggers, the pub closest to Glasnevin Cemetery. A grey two storey with a red merchant band across the front. Men stand outside as is tradition, as the pub inside is cosy and unchanged since opening in 1838. A genuine warm spot.

My flight reading game is leveling up.
I’m holding a copy of the unauthorized biography of Duran Duran. It features the band in some post modern boxy open shirt suiting.

East side of Bath Abbey, on a mid-morning September.

#photography
A shot of the Abbey flank, with three tiered rows of glass and stained glass arches to a parapet, with a flanking row of benches with seated people on a stone courtyard. The transept is far angled to the right corner of the picture to the spire. The full name is Bath Abbey of St. peter and St. paul. The shot in mono to help sharpen the stonework.

Visited Persephone Books in Bath, UK. They focus on out-of-print female writers. #booksky

Picked these. Nice memories here and lovely staff.

Teens on a bridge. #Munich #photography
An iron and steel road bridge going across a mass expanse of train tracks. Shot from one edge of the bridge, across the road to the other side, there is a metal shelf approximately 8ft from the surface, upon which a group of teenagers face the train tracks, backs to the camera. The rest of the shot is composed of cloudy sky, office buildings and wrought steel shapes. Evening around 6:30pm.

It’s a very big pretzel on a plate on top of a very large pool of mustard next to a very large beer.

Thank you, Sonny. #coys
A shot of the end of the spurs friendly with Newcastle. It’s Sonny’s last game in Korea. He’s giving Sarr a hug, the crowd’s in the background, and it’s a freeze frame on my filthy laptop screen, which makes sense, as with work and travel, it’s how i watch spurs. I’ll miss watching this guy.

Hello from space - 😊 thanks Sundowner!
A white doodlewoodle stares at the camera because someone is holding a small treat behind it. Shaggy hair.

Parque Nacional, Tulum. #mexico
Lucky enough to have a smooth paloma on this bench after I took this. Have a great weekend x

#blueskyartshow #smooth #photography
A foreground rock outcrop is just about flat enough for a wooden bench, with cushions, angled towards the beautiful smooth water. The water is turquoise before deepening to blue further out. The bluesky is what it does.

Wake up Maggie
I think I got something
To bark at you

#dogs
A white/cream/offwhite doodle type dog sits with a side profile to camera with hair that looks like it has copious ‘product’ in it (there is non) and side ears straight reminiscent of Rod Stewart. The mullet.

It’s a small house, made of cheez-its, with a nice lawn.
