This intentionally overprocessed shot came from Ralph Stover State Park. The soft glow (part haze from the fog, part postprocessing) makes it feel like a painting (to me, at least).

Teething Is…

Autumn Drive

Dark
This is a very unusual sight. A SEPTA train with no lights on, sitting essentially in center city Philadelphia. (This is along JFK, at about 24th Street.) Yes, adding insult…

Damp Oak
Given that people seem to like my nature pictures, and I’ve just found out that Sue really likes leaf pictures, this seems fitting.

Landscape 2

Abenaque
More pictures from Sunday! There were many old motors, some running from gas, some from steam. Some hooked up to pumps, some to saws. It was quite a sight. This…

Lugubrious
Lugubrious, adj. Mournful, especially to an exaggerated or ludicrous degree. We spent the afternoon with some friends at the Batsto Village country living fair. There’s no fault but mine if…
