Harvest Moon Rising harvest moon clearing the ridge in val gardena. the dolomites take a bite out of everything, even the moon. #EastCoastKin #Photography #Fuji #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited #Stunday #classicmono #naturalmomo #astrophotography
A nearly full moon rises from behind a dark mountain ridge, sitting slightly below the center of an otherwise black frame and spanning a little over a third of its width. Only the upper portion of the disc is visible. The ridge is pure black silhouette with no visible detail, and its edge is ragged: a rounded hump of rock on the left, a narrow notch near the center where a sliver of moonlight drops lower between two shoulders of stone, and a flatter, blockier line of towers across the right. The moon is a soft, slightly warm gray-white, its surface rendered in sharp detail: darker gray plains across the upper and right areas, bright rayed craters, and dense pitted texture toward the edges. The sky is solid black, with no stars or clouds.

The image works on one hard contrast: a luminous, finely textured sphere against a featureless black mountain in an empty field. With the land reduced to silhouette, the ridge reads as a cutout rather than terrain, and its broken edge becomes the only line in the frame, giving the moon's smooth geometry something to push against. The wide negative space, especially above, keeps attention on the moment of emergence rather than on setting. It belongs to a long tradition of moonrise photography but trades the usual scenic context for compression and restraint.

The rotten monster has been at it for ages. Bonwit Teller 1980 Trump just turned 34 years old. "Then they jackhammered the friezes, dislodged them with crowbars, and pushed the remains inside the building, where they fell to the ground and shattered in a million pieces."

Preservation News 
July 1980
New York City trumped
Developer smashes panels
By Michael Leccese
Two irreplacable Art Deco sculptures were smashed by jackhammers last month under orders from a New York City developer who had promised them to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The 15-foot-high stone bas-relief sculprures, which depicted semi-nude goddesses, were part of the Bonwit-Teller building (Warren and Wetmore,
1929) on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue at S6th Street. Developer Donald Trump bought the structure recently and was demolishing it to build a 62-story. $100
million mixed-use glass tower.
In addition, a 15-by-25 foot nickel. plated grille that had adorned the build. ing's facade has been missing since it was supposed to have been shipped to a New Jersey warehouse. Neither the Trump Organization nor the warehouse has any idea of the whereabouts of the hefty....MotherJones

To build his skyscraper, Trump first had to knock down the Bonwit Teller building, a luxurious limestone building erected in 1929.
The face of the building featured two huge
Art Deco friezes that the Metropolitan Museum of Art wanted to preserve. The museum asked Trump to save the sculptures and donate them, and the mogul agreed-as long as the cost of doing so wasn't too high.
But then, according to journalist Harry Hurt Ill in his book Lost Tycoon, Trump discovered that taking out the sculptures would delay demolition by two weeks. He wasn't willing to wait. "On his orders, the demolition workers cut up the grillwork with acetylene torches," Hurt wrote. "Then they jackhammered the friezes, dislodged them with crowbars, and pushed the remains inside the building, where they fell to the floor and shattered in a million pieces."In 1980, under pressure to begin construction on what would become his signature project, Donald Trump employed a crew of 200 undocumented Polish workers who worked in 12-hour shifts, without gloves, hard hats or masks, to demolish the Bonwit Teller building on New York's Fifth Avenue, where the 58-story, golden-hued Trump Tower now stands.
The workers were paid as little as $4 (£3) an hour for their dangerous labour, less than half the union wage, if they got paid at all.

Strolling around our garden area I found a few lingering blossoms. Things are fading now, but there are still bright spots.
I don’t know what this is, but it’s spectacular!  Flower with bright red petals and a large brilliant yellow center.  Surrounded by deep green leaves. It’s been another super dahlia season out there, but they seem to be fading. This extra large varietyis stunning every year. Bright orange-re petals that are tipped and rimmed with gold. These marigolds grew like crazy in my own garden box. They covered not only a couple of corners, but almost one solid side of the box. Grown from seed saved from last year. Volunteer zinnias from last year’s crop, in another box. Brilliant pink with yellow center.
