When the sun isn't really the sun...

#NoNegativeVibes ✌️
This image captures a serene winter sunrise over a wide, open prairie landscape. The sky transitions from soft blue at the top to warm orange and pink hues near the horizon. A bright sun reflection sits low in the sky, surrounded by a glowing halo and faint vertical and horizontal light streaks—an effect likely caused by ice crystals in the cold air, similar to a mild sun pillar or sundog phenomenon. The land below is covered in frost or light snow, giving the foreground a crisp, pale-blue tone. Fencing runs horizontally across the scene, leading the eye toward the distant rolling hills. Low-lying mist or smoke drifts along the horizon, illuminated by the sunrise. A few dark silhouettes of trees, farm buildings, or vehicles punctuate the mid-ground. Overall, it’s a calm, cold, and beautiful winter morning scene with striking atmospheric light effects.

The image shows a close-up view of a concrete sidewalk or pavement. Near the upper left area of the frame, there is a small, round, bright orange ball resting directly on the surface. The concrete has visible seams and cracks, with some dirt, small stones, and debris collected in the gaps between the slabs. The surface is speckled, slightly weathered, and shows patches of discoloration typical of outdoor pavement. The bright orange object stands out sharply against the dull gray background.

#BirdOfTheDay #GroundedGulls
This image shows a seagull standing on an asphalt surface, pecking at a packaged baked good that it has torn open. Crumbs are scattered around the plastic wrapper as the bird works at the food with its beak. The seagull’s body is angled sideways to the camera, showing its white head, grey wings, and yellow beak. The ground is textured pavement with some patches of grass visible in the upper left corner. The photo has a natural, candid feel, capturing the moment the bird scavenges human food. The bottom left corner includes a watermark reading © WJBPhoto.

The image shows a single black knit winter hat lying on a rough concrete surface. The hat is heavily coated with frost or a light dusting of snow, giving it a speckled white appearance. Bright sunlight from the left casts a strong shadow of the hat onto the concrete, emphasizing its shape and texture. The concrete around it is dry and grainy, with small pebbles embedded throughout.

Unloved…

Not the building.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved
The image shows a futuristic, angular pickup truck parked beside an old brick industrial building. The truck has a geometric, stainless-steel–looking body with sharp edges, flat panels, and a wedge-shaped profile. Its wheels are large and dark, giving it a rugged stance. The building behind it has a vintage, factory-style look: weathered brick walls, tall arched windows, and visible exterior conduit pipes running along the surface. The door at the center appears to be a simple commercial entrance with glass panes. The overall scene has a somewhat gritty, urban-industrial feel, and the black-and-white color tone enhances that mood.

#BirdOfTheDay #Mottled #TwoFerTuesday
This image captures a dramatic wildlife moment along a rocky shoreline. In the center-right of the frame, a large bird—a juvenile bald eagle—has just lifted off from the ground. Its wings are fully extended, showing detailed feathers, and it is carrying a fish in its talons, the prey dangling beneath it as it ascends. In the foreground, two smaller crows stand on the wet sand and scattered rocks. Their posture suggests they may have been hoping to scavenge from the eagle’s catch or were inspecting the area when the eagle swooped in. The background shows gentle waves rolling toward the shore, with muted gray-blue tones giving the scene a cool, coastal atmosphere. The lighting is soft, likely early morning or late afternoon, highlighting the textures in the water, rocks, and the birds’ feathers. Overall, the photo conveys motion, tension, and the raw energy of fresh water lake wildlife behavior.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUnloved
This image shows an old, weathered boat sitting on a metal cradle or stand, likely in a boatyard or repair area. The boat is clearly in a state of neglect: the hull is covered in dirt, algae, and black speckled mold-like spots. Patches of green moss are growing along the edges, especially near the bow. The paint is peeling and faded, revealing bare and discolored fiberglass beneath. The railings are metal and appear corroded, and several ropes and lines—mostly blue—are loosely draped across the deck. The cabin windshield is cloudy and worn, and the interior looks cluttered and deteriorated. The overall scene has a damp, coastal feel, with a grey-blue sky suggesting overcast weather. The photo is composed with strong depth, focusing closely on the bow and drawing the viewer’s eye inward toward the cabin, highlighting the textures, decay, and character of the abandoned vessel. The watermark “© WJBPhoto” appears in the lower-left corner.

#BirdOfTheDay #ShadesOfGrey
This is a serene nature photograph showing a shorebird wading in shallow water. The bird stands on slender yellow legs and has a speckled or mottled pattern across its back and wings. Its long, narrow bill is pointed slightly downward as if it’s searching for food. The bird’s reflection is clearly visible on the still surface of the water. The surrounding water is calm, lightly rippled, and covered with scattered patches of algae or aquatic vegetation. Soft natural light highlights the textures on both the water’s surface and the bird’s plumage. The scene feels peaceful and quiet, capturing a moment of stillness in a wetland or marsh environment. The bottom-left corner includes the watermark WJBPhoto, identifying the photographer.

To boldly go where no man has gone before…

Star Trek (1966 - 1969)

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision
This image captures a dark, star-filled night sky with countless tiny points of light scattered across the frame. The stars vary slightly in brightness and color—some appear cool white or blue, while others have warm yellow or orange tones. Cutting diagonally from left to right is a thin, straight streak of light, likely the result of a long exposure capturing a satellite pass, airplane, or possibly a faint meteor. The line is smooth and consistent, suggesting an artificial satellite or aircraft rather than a fast-moving meteor, which typically leaves a brighter, tapered trail. The background is deep black, emphasizing the density of the stars. In the bottom-left corner is the watermark WJBPhoto, identifying the photographer.

Chicago P.D.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision
This image shows a Chicago Police patrol car parked on a city street near the entrance to a parking garage. The photo is in a high-contrast, moody black-and-white style (with a slight sepia tint), giving it a dramatic, almost cinematic feel. Key details: • The vehicle is an older model Ford Crown Victoria, commonly used by police departments. • “CHICAGO POLICE” is clearly marked on the side, along with unit number 9601 and the CPD star emblem. • The background features a parking garage entrance with large illuminated signs reading “ENTER ↑↑”. • There’s a “ONE WAY” street sign next to the garage. • On the wall to the right, there’s signage pointing to a business—likely a cafe or deli—with the words “Freshly Prepared, Good Natural…” partially visible. • Light and shadow create strong contrast across the pavement and the side of the car, emphasizing the photo’s dramatic tone.

There’s more than one way to catch streaks of light during the night…

#StupidClouds #NoAuroraForMe
This is a nighttime street scene of a small downtown area, beautifully lit with streetlights and decorative string lights. The most prominent building in the image is a historic red-brick structure with classical architectural features—arched windows, a central doorway, and a flagpole with a flag waving at the top. To the right, there’s a BMO (Bank of Montreal) branch, and to the left, several older storefronts line the street. The long exposure of the photograph creates visible light trails from passing cars, particularly red streaks from taillights, giving the image a dynamic feel. The streetlights produce strong starburst effects, and the sky is dark, highlighting the warm, ambient glow of the lights. There’s also a watermark in the bottom left corner reading “© WJBPhoto.” Overall, it’s a crisp, well-composed urban nightscape that captures both the calm and subtle activity of a small town at night.

Fireworks by Mother Nature…

#AuroraBorealis
This image captures a vibrant display of the aurora borealis (northern lights) over a rural landscape at night. The sky is illuminated with striking vertical streaks of red, pink, green, yellow, and purple light, creating a mesmerizing curtain-like effect across the horizon. Below the aurora, the landscape shows a quiet countryside with open fields, a few buildings, distant lights, and silhouetted trees along the right edge. A road leads into the scene from the foreground, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the horizon where the colorful lights meet the clouds. Stars are visible throughout the sky, adding to the sense of depth and wonder. The image, marked © WJBPhoto, showcases the majesty of a geomagnetic storm lighting up the northern sky.

Not all heroes are forgotten…

Hogan’s Heroes (Final Episode 03/04/71)

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision)
This is a low-angle photograph captured on a bright sunny day. Key Elements: • Silhouette of a Soldier/Statue: On the left, a dark silhouette of a military figure or statue dominates the foreground. The figure is facing to the right (away from the viewer) and appears to be standing at attention, possibly with a rifle. The deep shadow suggests the sun is shining from behind and slightly to the right of the figure. • Canadian Flag: In the center-right, a Canadian flag is prominently displayed, affixed to a flagpole. The flag is slightly rippling and is illuminated from behind, highlighting the red and white. • Bright Sun Flare: A strong, dramatic sunburst or flare emanates from behind the flag and the pole, creating a brilliant white and yellow glow that almost obscures part of the flag and flagpole. • Sky and Trees: The background consists of a vibrant blue sky with wispy white clouds. To the right of the flag, the bright green and yellow-tinged leaves of a tall tree are visible, further framing the sunlight. • Overall Mood: The high contrast between the dark silhouette and the brilliant light conveys a mood of solemn remembrance, reverence, and optimism.

#NoNegativeVibes ✌🏼 #NoMoreSunsets #SixMinutesofSeparation
Both images capture stunning sunset scenes over a calm body of water, emphasizing vivid color and reflection. First image: The sky is filled with dramatic, layered clouds streaked in brilliant hues of gold, orange, and soft purple. The warm light from the sunset reflects beautifully off the still water below, creating a glowing mirror effect. The shoreline is visible in the foreground with a few scattered rocks and wet sand catching the light. The overall feel is peaceful and radiant, with the colors giving a sense of warmth and serenity. Second image: Taken a little later in the evening, this photo shows a deeper, more intense palette — fiery oranges and reds transition into rich purples and blues. The horizon glows with the last light of sunset, while the water reflects the colors like molten glass. A bare tree on the right adds a striking silhouette, balancing the composition and adding depth. The mood here is more dramatic and contemplative, suggesting the end of the day moving into twilight. Together, these images capture the progression of a vivid sunset, highlighting nature’s beauty and the changing light over time.

Around them, several others are also dancing, including a shirtless man in jeans and sneakers. In the background, a crowd of onlookers sits on brick steps and surrounding rocks, watching the dancers. Some people appear relaxed, chatting or taking photos, while others seem captivated by the performance. The sunlight filtering through trees casts soft shadows across the ground, adding warmth and texture to the scene. Overall, the image captures a spontaneous, joyful, and communal atmosphere of a drum circle.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforShadows
This black-and-white photograph captures a serene street performance set against a stone wall. A woman on the left is playing a flute, seated gracefully in a sunbeam that highlights her and part of the textured ground. She wears a light dress and sandals, her posture focused yet relaxed. To her right, a man sits on a small stool, playing a classical guitar. He appears absorbed in the music, his gaze slightly upward. Between them stands a music stand with open sheet music, and a small amplifier or speaker sits nearby on the cobblestone pavement. The contrast between the illuminated musicians and the shadowed stone wall creates a dramatic, intimate atmosphere — emphasizing both the artistry of the performers and the timelessness of their surroundings.
