The camera captures both a change in position, and the passage of time.

….because my movement is not smooth, the overhead wires are wavy Finally as the view of the camera reached the street again, but upside down, the streetcar had passed me and was heading away

So, process… This is a computational photo (Not AI, but relying on computer processing to create the image on the smartphone) I started the photo as the streetcar entered the frame, so it’s fragmented as I moved the camera in an arc over my head….

Thanks. My grandmother was born there, but I don’t know the cove very well.

A quiet sunset chatting with friends while Japan Airways makes a course correction flying from Tokyo to New York. #TOPhoto #sunset #contral

Panoramic photo of an urban sunset
In the foreground are the silhouettes of skyscrapers and trees
Above the buildings a few pink and orange clouds arc over the horizon below a pale blue sky that fades to dark blue on the top of the image
In the middle the orange contrail of a high flying jet curves towards the heavens

Pepper assures me that his reproachful look is well deserved 😾 🐈‍⬛ 😾 🐈‍⬛ 😾

Pepper is still not convinced that having a roommate is a good idea; especially one who likes to snooze in ‘his’ spot, next to me… Yesterday they had a fight, on my lap. Nothing was resolved… I needed antiseptic 🌶️ 🐈‍⬛ 😾 🩸 😾 🐈 🧇

Better moon photos coming soon…

Rick Miller @millrick.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

The full moon set at 7:03 The sun rose at 7:09 We don’t have a clear view of the horizon in either direction, so my photos are taken before moonset and after sunrise #TOPhoto #moonset #sunrise

This is one of the worst photos I’ve ever taken, but, there’s only a few moments every year when, during the equinox, Pepper is perfectly backlit. The tongue is just icing on the cake 🌶️ 🐈‍⬛ 🌞 👅 🧁 #equinox #cat

Bad, Blurry photo of a fuzzy black cat backlit by the setting sun, with his pink tongue sticking out

A cool, cloudy morning that did not result in a spectacular sunrise, but it was pretty anyway. Oh, and a falcon showed up. #TOPhoto #sunrise #falcon

Panoramic photo of Dawn in a big city. There’s a bit of yellow on the eastern horizon to the left, but the clouds are mostly gray with some light blue to the right or the north.
In the foreground are the silhouettes of trees and skyscrapers.

Panoramic photo of an urban sunrise.
The foreground is the rooftop of a small apartment building.
On the left, to the east, it’s a small yellow dot of the rising Sun, illuminating the clouds are the faint yellow orange. Most of the clouds are blue gray, to the right you can see some pale blue sky.
In the middle ground are skyscrapers with faint, red and orange glow from the sunrise.

Here’s a Tkaronto sunrise to entice you back home. It’s 7:00 AM rather than the more glorious 6:00 AM in Gaspésie

Panoramic photo of an urban sunrise. There are dark trees and buildings in the foreground with a dark blue sky and a few pink clouds in the background. The sun has not yet risen over the horizon

Rick Miller @millrick.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I’ll be back there briefly next winter and for and extended stay next summer, I hope

Rick Miller @millrick.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I’m going to miss your posts from Gaspésie

If you look closely at that dormer window you can see the ghost of an ancient widow waiting in eternity for her grandson to return from the unforgiving sea

Rick Miller @millrick.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The last year I lived in Gaspésie it snowed every month of the year I was there again for a month last winter We had a week of -20 / feeling like -35, with winds that made it hard to walk. The locals take it in stride

Rick Miller @millrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I’m old enough to remember that most of the little coves along all the coast of Gaspésie had a dozen or more fishers rowing out every morning (including my great uncle). And every hamlet had drying racks for the cod. Salt and the sea breeze was all you needed for Gaspé Cured

Rick Miller @millrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Gaspésie was, and is, one of Canada’s poorest regions. Photos like these try to romanticize the poverty but what I see is resilience in the face of the struggle to thrive in a hardscrabble environment

These are my people, whether they be Anglo or Franco, Métis or Mi’gmaq, Catholic or Protestant or traditional. What bound then was the difficult and dangerous work of extracting the resources of the land and sea.

Rick Miller @millrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It’s more the setting, the ambience, the wary acceptance of the authority of the camera that remind me of the very few photo our family has of that era. The geography of the seaside farms carved into the forest cries out to mon cœur Gaspésien.

Non merci Je l'ai déjà trouvé

Rick Miller @millrick.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It’s a bit too early, but that could be my mother and her brothers, growing up near here, between the hills and the sea. These could also be my father and his siblings. There were 9 of them, growing up shoeless on a farm next to a river flowing from the mountains into the gulf.

Lovely I’ve not seen this one before

Condos, construction, and a waxing moon #waxingmoon #toronto

Photo taken at dusk of the waxing crescent moon setting behind three highrise construction cranes and the silhouettes of tall condos with illuminated windows

The sky is a pale blue, while the moon is a dull yellow
There are small red lights atop the cranes
