Cavern Of Lost Souls, Wales. A narrow opening in this old slate mine has allowed decades of illegal dumping of cars and household appliances. The water is an ominous turquoise, filled with a toxic cocktail of leached chemicals.

≪ Schönheit am Wegesrand ≫


… auch am 29.12.2025, immer noch. 😀

Sie wächst geschützt in der Näher der Wand eines nicht bewohnten Hauses. Wäre es bewohnt, wäre diese mittlerweile krumm wachsende Pflanze bestimmt dem "Ordnungssinn" eines "Gärtners" zum Opfer gefallen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

💙📷 The Explore vs The Shot. A look behind the scenes at one of my favourite locations: a striking #ArtDeco power plant control room in Hungary.

While sorting through old files, I came across this behind-the-scenes snapshot buried on my hard drive. I'm crouched down totally engrossed, capturing a multi-shot vertical panorama. The photo emphasises the impressive skylight sitting directly overhead, looking down like a great all-seeing eye!

🖤Beautiful decay! This long-abandoned Italian villa, is aging like a fine wine. Every grain of rust and every piece of dropped plaster is like a scar charting her unique journey and evolution. What will happen next?

Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #atheism, #photography, #science, and #skepticism

I have a long journey in diaspora.

Came to diaspora when G+ closed years ago, then the instance closed and I moved to diasporasocial,net
That server was disconnected days ago. All of this week it shows as Error 500, with no other information, and no heads up from the admins. A friend here suggested I join. Now I have to figure out how to regain content, and contacts.

I have been a photographer (never a professional) for over 40 years. Now retired from a long career in IT, am devoting most of my time to travel and photography.

Will post more when I regain contacts, and figure out how to connect in diaspora again.


Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #hamsters, #humor, #literature, and #photography. Thanks for the invite, @Brian Fitzgerald!

I’m back — AGAIN — on another pod. Hope this is the last change for a while.


Hey everyone, I’m #newhere. I’m interested in #bloomscrolling, #humor, and #photography.
I've come from G+ to pluspora to several pods, and am now here.
Thanks for the invite, @Andrew Pam!


Peace to You this Monday

A shelf full of books, dusty and forgotten inside an abandoned house. Tattered and well-loved, the adventures between the pages were read and reread by persons now long gone ⌚

A recent photo of a starling murmuration as if smoke from a chimney has been called a "fluke" by its Yorkshire based, UK photographer, Anna Tosney #WomensArt #Photography
The photo shows a starling murmuration, which is the name for the phenomenon of thousands of starlings flying together in a large, swirling flock directly above a tall industrial chimney. It gives the illusion of the starlings forming steam coming out of the top.


🛒☢️ This supermarket stands frozen in time following the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Located within the exclusion zone, it was evacuated without warning and has remained untouched since.

This lost place was one of seven selected from my portfolio for National Geographic's recent feature on abandoned places across Japan.

Barbara Jordan—a Black woman from Houston’s Fifth Ward—crossed every line drawn to keep her out: the color line, the gender line, the sexuality line, the Mason-Dixon line. And when, 49 years ago this week, the nation asked who would speak for America in crisis, she answered. With conviction. With the Constitution. And with a voice they never forgot.

Star Trails over El Capitan
* Image Credit & Copyright: Michael Bolte (UCSC)

Explanation:
Towering 3,000 feet from base to summit, the famous granite face of El Capitan in Earth's Yosemite National Park just hides the planet's north celestial pole in this skyscape. Of course, the north celestial pole is at the center of all the star trails. Their short arcs reflecting the planet's daily rotation on its axis are traced in a digital stack of 36 sequential exposures. Linear trails of passing airplane navigation lights and a flare from car lights along the road below are also captured in the sequential stack. But the punctuated trail of light seen against the sheer El Capitan itself follows a climbing team on the night of November 8, 2013. The team is ascending toward the summit along The Nose, a historic rock climbing route.

Rio at Night
* Image Credit & Copyright: Babak Tafreshi (TWAN)

Explanation:
In this night skyscape setting stars trail above the western horizon over Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a venue for the 2014 World Cup. Gentle arcs from the bright, colorful stars of Orion are near the center of the frame, while the starfield itself straddles planet Earth's celestial equator during the long exposure. Of course, trails from more local lights seem to create the strident paths through the scene. Air traffic smears an intense glow over an airport at the far right, while helicopters fly above the city and boats cruise near the coast. Striping the waterfront are tantalizing reflections of bright lights along Rio's central beaches, Botafogo and Flamengo. Near the horizon, the brightest fixed light is the famous Cristo statue overlooking Rio at night.

A Luminous Night
* Image Credit & Copyright: Phil Hart

Explanation:
What shines in the world at night? Just visible to the eye, a rare electric blue glow spread along the shores of Victoria Lake on January 16, 2013. Against reflections of a light near the horizon, this digitally stacked long exposure recorded the bioluminescence of Noctiluca scintillans, plankton stimulated by the lapping waves. Above, the night skies of the Gippsland Lakes region, Victoria, Australia shine with a fainter greenish airglow. Oxygen atoms in the upper atmosphere, initially excited by ultraviolet sunlight, produce the more widely seen fading atmospheric chemiluminescence. Washed out by the Earth's rotation, the faint band of the southern summer Milky Way stretches from the horizon as star trails circle the South Celestial Pole.
