Close-up of a rust-colored metal bear sculpture, with overlapping leaf-like pieces forming the fur and texture of the bear's face and head. The sculpture has a reddish-brown patina with visible weathering, and the expression is stoic with small round eyes and a pronounced snout.

Full-body shot of the same bear sculpture made from curved metal strips, standing on top of a similarly styled metal sphere. The sculpture is placed on a concrete base in a grassy public area, with a tree and urban street in the background. A placard at the base provides information about the art piece.

A tall, narrow sculpture resembling a blue steel column with a jagged, organic-shaped cavity running vertically through it. The exposed interior reveals a concrete-like texture. The sculpture is mounted on a concrete base in a downtown area, with a mural of a woman’s face and urban buildings visible in the background.

Close-up view of the textured cavity within the blue steel sculpture. The camera focuses on the rough, granular concrete interior and the surrounding worn blue paint, with a blurred urban environment and parked cars in the background.

New sculptures installed downtown!

A photograph of a building exterior featuring a heavily weathered and barred window with a rusted exhaust fan behind metal bars. Above the window, an old ventilation pipe curves outward and up, attached to a beige wall made of painted bricks. The right side of the wall is covered in a vibrant mural: a stylized landscape with triangular trees, flowing lines, floating clouds, and large red and white circular shapes resembling suns or moons. The mural's palette includes sky blue, navy, coral red, and white, contrasting sharply with the dull, industrial elements of the window and pipe. The image captures the tension between decay and creativity in an urban setting.

Grunge TARDIS. I came to see the mural but didn't have a wide enough lens to get it all. Once I saw the doorway, I couldn't get Bizarro Doctor Who out of my head.

A close-up photograph of a golden columbine flower (Aquilegia chrysantha) in full bloom. The vibrant yellow petals form a star-like shape with five long, backward-curving spurs extending from behind. At the center, a dense cluster of bright yellow stamens arches outward, drawing attention to the flower’s intricate structure. The petals appear soft and slightly translucent under natural light, with subtle shading that adds depth. The background is softly blurred in hues of green, yellow, and lavender, enhancing the flower's delicate presence and creating a calm, natural atmosphere.

A close-up portrait of a black and white cat with striking green eyes and a pink nose. The cat is looking directly at the camera with a calm, confident expression. Its fur is well-lit against a dark, softly blurred background.

Merlin, the tolerant. Happy #caturday, Bluesky!

Thank you!

A row of tall, rusted metal pilings emerges from still water in front of a rocky shoreline. The background shows dry grass, driftwood, and a dense green forest under overcast light.

#ThrowbackThursday to this photo I took in 2017 somewhere near the Puget Sound, WA. This was one of the first photos that I was proud of. It wasn't my gear and it took another 5 years before I bought my own but this planted the seed.

A black and white photo of a person in a hooded jacket walking down a wet street in Old Town, Bratislava. The image is taken from a low angle, emphasizing the reflections on the pavement. European buildings line both sides, and festive decorations hang overhead.

A night photograph of the UFO Bridge in Bratislava, Slovakia. The bridge is lit from below with a row of orange streetlights above and a pedestrian silhouette crossing underneath. The UFO-shaped observation tower is faintly visible through fog in the background.

UFO Bridge, Bratislava. Steel, fog, and someone just passing through.

Obligatory tower photo.

A mountain valley landscape under a dramatic cloudy sky with sunrays breaking through. Tall grass in the foreground adds depth to the wide scenic view.

From the same recent #photowalk, some nice sunrays and a mildly dramatic sky.

Close-up of two Indian Paintbrush wildflowers with vibrant red-orange petals, growing in a grassy field. The foreground flower is in sharp focus, while the background fades softly into blurred green and white tones.

Another from walking in open space, this one much more natural than the last.

First post! Surprising find during a #photowalk on an open space trail.
