Seen around Silverton

28 May 2025

Silverton, CO

#colorado #mountains #mountaintowns
A view of Turret Peak on the left and Pigeon Peak on the right, snow-dusted and tightly framed between steep pine tree covered hills that converge in lower mid-frame, with greenish-brown scrub foliage along the bottom third foreground. A closely-framed slightly desaturated shot on a pile small logs which are seen along their lengths with an axe and a saw tucked down in between them, both of their handles well weathered. The shallow depth of focus on the woodgrain has the distant low mountains slightly blurred. The sky is all low, stormy clouds that appear to be ready for a light rain shower. The mountain town of Silverton, CO is seen from a high roadside vantage point, the Animas River snaking down the frame in between nearby pine trees. A bulging foothill looms over the town, its rocky peak patched with snow extending up towards the overcast sky. The upper floor windows, roof, and clock tower of the San Juan County Courthouse are seen right hand foreground with the (mostly) snow-covered peak of Sultan Mountain clearly visible behind and to the left. The image is framed by two bony, as-yet-unbloomed aspens and a single pine tree, along with a glimpse of a densely pine treed foothill.

Line art.

Saturday 10 May 2025, Denver Center for the Performing Arts

A heavy edit & an unretouched original photo.

A heavily edited photo of architectural details, featuring many linear elements, resulting in a high contrast black and white image (which almost appears to be line art) An unretouched photo of the western end of the roof structure at Denver Center For The Performing Arts where it meets the Singleton Theatre, just at the point where the curved corner begins. There are many parallel and converging linear architectural elements, as well as the shadows they cast on the building. It is framed such that 3 corners of the image perfectly meet some of lines.

Fallen comrade.

27 April 2025

Independence Mountain Trail, Indian Hills, #Colorado

#trees #forest #hiking #mountains #blackandwhite
An old, weathered, fallen log is seen along its length from a low angle perspective, a ragged edge in the foreground. The photo is black and white with a shallow depth of field, the focal point running about 9 inches from the camera until about 18 inches away. A number of cracks extend away from the edge and two small holes fall into the focused range. Further along the length of the log you can see that it is between to trees offset by a few feet.

Multnomah Falls overlook

12 April 2025

#multnomahfalls #columbiariver #oregon
View from Multnomah Falls overlook: vertically-oriented shot looking out across the Columbia River Gorge with the waterfall in the bottom left and some branches from out of frame at the top left, the late evening sun shining through them. The Columbia River is seen midframe, a highway alongside it, as well as a parking lot and people far below.

A black and white photograph of a silhouetted person sitting at a café table, mid-gesture, framed against a large window. Outside, a heart-shaped sign with the word “Choose” is visible on a building across the street. The table holds glasses and a sprig of greenery, suggesting an intimate, contemplative moment.

Liberated kite.

3 March 2014

Panasonic DMC-GF3 20mm f/2.8 1/1000s ISO160

#kite #tree #sky #panasonic-gf3
A kite—averaged-sized and of the traditional diamond-shaped variety—is seen caught atop the far upper branches of a tree lacking any leaves, set against a virtually cloudless blue sky. The shot is artfully framed so that the tree barely occupies the bottom left quadrant of the image. The sky is largely monochromatic blue with slightly darker corners from natural vignetting from the lens (the photograph was taken with a Micro 4/3 camera.) There are very faint wisps of clouds without well-defined edges in the upper right of the shot.

If this old tree could speak, oh, the stories it might share.

#colorado #tree
A large oak tree with many large, and even more smaller, branches with no leaves in a field of low, brown, early spring vegetation against a backdrop of smaller distant trees and foothills beyond. A deep blue Colorado sky fills much of the frame with a couple barely visible, dispersed jet contrails.

A mood indistinct. The outlook is perhaps unclear though not unpleasant for the moment.

#colorado #foothills #crepuscularrays
A landscape photograph depicting a series of foothills extending into a haze-shrouded horizon. Centered in the foreground is a silhouette of the top of a pine tree though, unlike the many other visible smaller pine tree outlines, this one lacks the distinctive stereotypical triangular shape. Instead it tapers irregularly until ending somewhat abruptly just as it meets one of the most distant visible foothill peaks. The sky is mostly an indistinct mass of gray clouds, though one small window of blueness is seen up to the right and vaguely connects to a single, brightly backlit aperture where originates a series of crepuscular rays, as if an old, very large incandescent flashlight is being shone down from the heavens.

A stark photo from last winter revealing the lasting effects of the 2002 Hayman Fire burn scar in Colorado.

#colorado #burnscar #haymanfire #blackandwhite
A black and white view north across a stark hilly landscape revealing the lasting effects of the 2002 Hayman Fire burn scar in Colorado. Taken from a sloping hillside, the image shows sparse vegetation with a 30–40 foot tall dead tree with many short branches, mostly on one side.

A cloud formation reaches across the foothills in this view south from Switzerland Trail near Boulder, CO

23 Feb 2025

#COwx #clouds #Colorado #offroading
A linear cloud formation that originates above a near-distant foothill peak and continues up and left out of the corner of the frame. The cloud has a smooth right edge and an uneven left edge. The peak only just rises above the continuous line of distant hills, and is centered horizontally while the silhouetted hills are aligned along the lower third of the image. Patches of snow are visible on the hillsides. The sky is otherwise cloudless and has a gradient of blue hues from very light along the hills to a very deep and dark at the top of the photo.

Snow: Made from 100% organic cotton

18 Feb 2025

#snow #snowflake #cowx
Close up photo of a bare bush branch with very fluffy snow collected on it which looks like cotton. Individual snow flake details can be made out and the background (more of the same fluffy snow on the bush) is pleasingly out of focus.
