Something that might count for #TravelThursday and might count for #ThrowbackThursday too, but is mostly posted because I randomly threw it up on Instagram too. From 2012, this is just a scene of urban life in the town of Reus, Spain. We spent a week in a town not far away and took the bus here one day to see the birthplace of architect Antoni Gaudí. This isn't one of his designs, obviously.

An apartment block fills the view. We can see four storeys, each with two adjoining balconies separated by a narrow iron rail that connects to railings around each balcony's lower third, each of which has an identical rectangle of wooden boarding covering nearly half the area. Most of the balconies are empty, but the upper left has clothes drying, visible through an open window section; the upper right has more clothes drying and a satellite dish erected on it; the balcony below the upper left one has a flower box on its railings with some red and white flowers in it. The foreground is framed by leafy trees, partly covering some of the lower balconies, and we can see the top of a set of traffic lights near the bottom of view.

An elderly person is seen through the window of a subway car. They're seated with their in front of their face pinching their brow.

They have white thinning hair made into a comb over. They're wearing metal frame glasses, a scarf, and a yellow quilted jacket.

In the foreground there is a very blurry structure below the window and to the right. Part of the structure on the right is a red blur.

Above the window is the top of the subway car.

A black and white image of two shadows of people facing each other, cast on a nondescript metal doorway.

The shadow on the right is sharper with a harder edge. The person casting this shadow has a rotund figure, and seemingly bald. Their mouth is slightly open.

The figure on the left is much softer, making any unique features indiscernible. They have a head and shoulders and you can see a very vague outline of their eyes, nose and chin.

The door is a metal side door with stone above, marble on the sides, and sidewalk below.

A food cart with extremely bright lights illuminates a street corner in Manhattan. The ground is wet from the rain. In the distance steam rises from a building.

The worker at the food cart is standing behind it and is visible trough the middle opening. They have short black hair and beard. They're wearing a blue baseball cap with the word "BROOKLYN" on it and a green pattern zip-up sweater.

The food cart has three blue and yellow "SABRETT" umbrellas above it, with picture menus hanging from their sides. The menu on the front of the food cart is backlit by an obscenely bright light, illuminating the wet ground in front of the cart.

In the background, there is traffic, a figure crossing a crosswalk, large looming buildings and skyscrapers, the lights from the street.

A black and white photo of a person walks on the subway platform, seen through a pane of glass covered in graffiti and walking in front of a closed subway car door.

The person has long hair and no facial hair. They're looking up to the left, their mouth slightly open, as if they are looking for something. They have a puffy jacket, a purse at their right side, dark pants, and dark sneakers. They're holding their phone in their right hand in front of them, but they are not looking at it.

At the top of the photo you can see the bottom half of a subway sign detailing the train's schedule. At the bottom of the photo you can see the bottom frame of the pane of glass, making a cross with the left frame in the lower left corner of the photo. Below that, you can see the person's feet. The left is firmly planted in front of them, and the right is at and angle, almost entirely lifted off the ground.

A couple walks down an empty avenue in Times Square, the bright lights from the billboards on each side illuminate the black asphalt around them.

The couple is at the center of the frame, a bit lower than the middle. The person on the left is taller. They're wearing a baseball cap, dark green jacket, blue jeans and black leather shoes. The person on the right is shorter. They're wearing a black beanie, a black fur lined coat, blue jeans, and tan shoes.

The lights behind them are divided down the middle of the street on the left and right side of the frame, making a stark difference of scale, like the couple is at the bottom of a ravine of light.

I've been lurking a while, but I have yet to post an #Introduction !

lAMA software engineer 💻 who likes sports nearly all sports 🥎⚽🏀🏈🏒🏏, video games 🕹️🎮, sitcoms 📺, and all things Star Trek 🖖. If anything I'm a strong advocate for more #urban development. I believe we need better #urbanplanning , stronger #publictransit , and more #bikecommuting. Above all else #FuckCars (or rather the dependency on cars).

Outside of that, I just post about random things that pique my interest, oh and memes.

In the photograph, there's a tranquil scene captured, portraying a second-story balcony nestled within an urban setting. The predominant hues emanate from the warm tones of yellow and orange adorning the surrounding wall, casting a serene ambiance. Positioned to the left of the frame is an unlit street light with a prominent white glass sphere atop, vividly contrasting against the orange wall backdrop. Above, a cloudless and expansive blue sky blankets the scene. The image exudes a sense of peace and quiet, evoking feelings of comfort and warmth. Notably, to the left of the frame, there's partial lettering on the wall, ending with 'llery,' potentially hinting at the word 'gallery,' although it remains incomplete and uncertain.

Things are looking up

#Photography #Foto #Mirrorless #StreetPhotography #Street #NYC #NewYorkCity #Fujifilm #Urban #UrbanPhotography #Candid

A person sits on a bench in a park in a city.

They sit in front of a bush with fall colored leaves of red and orange and yellow, next to a bush with green leaves in front of a street light. In the background, old brick buildings.

The person has short slicked back black hair, shaved on the sides of their head. They're looking up and to the left as they sip a disposable red coffee cup. They are wearing a tan jacket zipped all the way up, light blue jeans, and black sneakers. They're holding the coffee cup with their left hand, they're holding their phone in their lap with their left hand. They're looking up and to the left.

In the foreground, on the ground below them, a concrete ground is streaked with shadows from an unknown source and spotted with fallen leaves.

The person is sitting on a wood slat bench with wrought iron supports. Behind the person, a bush with fall colored leaves of red and orange and yellow, just behind the bush is a tree trunk extending from the bush to the top of the frame. Next to the bench on the left side of the frame, a green bush stands in front of a black iron street light.

Behind the park in the background, a large red brick building looms over the entire scene, illuminated by direct sunlight from the left, but also illuminated on its right side from reflections from the windows of other buildings. Next to are other old brick and stone buildings and on their roofs sit water towers typical of New York City.

The Old Map Gallery

3 weeks ago

It's not much of a map, but for us, it's a moment of "what could have been".
From 1883, this is a pre-automobile look at Los Angeles and its distinct neighboring towns. It does show the major wagon roads of the time, but those thick black lines were railroads that could take you down to San Diego, into San Bernadino, or even up to Santa Barbara. It's interesting to imagine if the region had developed by rail rather than highway.

My account is now a year old so how about an updated #introduction now that I’m settled in.

I’m a meteorologist based in Portland, Oregon. You’ll see me tooting a lot about #weather with a focus on #orwx, #wawx, and #bcstorm. At my day job I forecast renewable energy.

Beyond this, I also toot about #urban living, #geology, #HamRadio / #AmateurRadio, my family life, my #LDS faith, and whatever else catches my fancy. I also thoroughly enjoy learning from and chatting with others here.
