A scene from Atlanta’s infamous Krog Street Tunnel, near historic Cabbagetown (an old mill town in the heart of the city). This nearly century old underpass is home to evolving graffiti murals.
In a rickshaw in Udaipur, Rajasthan.. despite the grime and grit of flying along in one of these things along Indias dusty roads, you’re often dazzled by the wonderful saris of passers-by..
Tracking the property of an “ancient” hydroelectric station on a walk deep in the woodlands of rural western Massachusetts, Eye Spy upon a plank that is part of its’ doddering infrastructure .. Eye simply saw a design in the dirt, and had to take this shot: it is unaltered, except for cropping. I love the composition and the colour(s). I moved on ..
Macro of little dirt hills with stones on top..left looking like this after lots of rain…added the flood filter..
The third in a series of dust storm shots taken on a day when I placed my camera and lens in great danger and peril, for the grit was flying fiercely.

One of the hundreds of discarded millstones at Bole Hill Quarry in the Peak District in Derbyshire, England. In my opinion, these make fantastic subjects – particularly in the autumn with the contrasts between the green of the moss and the orange of the leaves. A proper symbol of the Peak District National Park
Another shot of the decaying elevated highways in Montreal. This time I wanted to illustrate the disorienting feeling that one may experience when looking up, while standing under the structures. Pssst! Your eyes are not playing tricks on you; the photo is really displayed sideways. ;-) My son had just played a hockey game and the arena was right beside this, so I made a few shots while we were waiting for him to change after the game. I converted to black and white and enhanced the gritty aspect a bit in Photoshop in order to emphasize all the cracks and dirt in the concrete.

Days of reckoning…days of awe. / If Paradise exists, it’s part of us. / Not out there, up there, somewhere. / Or maybe we ARE Paradise… / and each other’s angels? (In Paradisum Deducant Te Angeli: May angels lead you into Paradise) Last night I began getting caught up a little with replies, and later today I’ll be visiting your incredible works of art. I wasn’t going to upload this until I’d had a chance to say HI to everyone but as usual I can’t wait. So here it is: a digital painting, 8 photoimages, and another digital painting. Please do the extra click to see it in the large view…it’s more interesting that way. / /

Sacre Coeur, Paris. The amazingly original basilica is located in Montmartre, leading to the highest point of Paris city. First constructed in 1875, it was not completed until 1914, due to a problematic law system that almost stopped construction entirely. Only saved by a loophole, construction finally continued to the end. I didn’t get to spend as much time here as I would normally like to, but the climb to the top of the tower was worth it for the incredible view of the city below. Original shot layered twice, with 3 textures, colour altering of each layer, blending of layers, further colour altering and an omni light effect.

Your eyes won’t shut now. / Your brain won’t stop. / Sweet sleep would have come but you pushed it away. / Now it wants nothing to do with you. / You kill dreams, stab them, rip them into shreds and wad them up in grimy spitballs. You need sleep. / You need sleep. / You need sleep. But all you have is thoughts that won’t stop tapdancing on your brain, / And a twitch in your eyelid. / And a stomach of slime. You need sleep. / You need sleep. / You need… Whew! I’m going to bed. Will get caught up tomorrow. I hope someone likes this! / This is actually four photoimages (my eyes and hand included) and a lot of painting & editing…..
The base image is a detail from an old brass and copper jardiniere (which is only 4 inches in diameter). I added a texture layer and did some painting. Photoshop Elements 3. /
