Weeping Women by Tama Blough

Weeping figures adorn the boxes on the colonnade of the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. They are said to represent the sadness of life without art (that is one story, anyway, and the one I like best). Originally their tears were going to water vines planted in the boxes they surround but the cash ran out. The palace was built in 1915 for the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. /

The Mobius Arch Under the Stars by MattGranz

BEST VIEWED LARGE I went back in my archives today to look at the pics I took while out in the High Desert near Lone Pine last Spring and came across this image of the Mobius Arch that was taken at midnight. Looking through the files, I discovered that I had actually taken quite a few shots and I actually found two with very different exposures and thought I’d see how well they’d blend together. What you see here is the result. The night sky is much more representative of what I was seeing than the other picture I posted from that evening which was a 17 minute exposure and thus had some major star strails going on. I upped the blue in the sky a tad for interest, but that is the only color shifting evident here. I’m not a Photo Journalist, I’m a Landscape Artist after all. The blend is a pic shot at 200 ISO for 29 seconds and a second pic at 2500 ISO for 4 seconds. Nikon D90

hope by Lenny La Rue, IPA

From one of my long walks thru the heart of Downtown Sacramento, CA. I left it grungy this time and highlighted only the nature of being “between permanent addresses”. PS If I knew how to shoot HDR well, I’d have worked on this one a LOT. ;-)

Tin Energy Silos and Windmills in CA by MattGranz

Being out in the middle of nowhere in the Sacramento Delta late after midnight can be an erie experience. All of the mechanical elements are seemingly alive as is the air with EMF energy and loud continual humming being produced by the ominous giant looming ever churning windmills. I’m just glad my friend Jonathan was there with me… I might have freaked out otherwise…
