So it was a gray day -- one of those spittin' rain all day days -- and I took the dogs out for a long walk and rather than photographing all of the stunning fall colors in that diffuse, gray light, I focussed on the "ugly" leaves that, too me, are the sign of […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Several elm leaves at the end of a twig. The leaves are turning brown at the edges, some yellow spots in the centers of some of the leaves. Fungus and insect damage shows brown spots.

#FotoVorschlag | Objekte die mit "I" beginnen oder so aussehen // an object that starts with an I or looks like it INFRASTRUCTURE for the oil and gas fields in ND, USA #BlackAndWhite

A black and white photo that shows part of the large infrastructure of an electrical substation. To the left, large wires are connected to dark towers. Below that are complex wires and insulators near the ground. The sky is cloudy. I feel a sense of mechanical menace in the photo.

#FotoVorschlag | Zahlen: Zwei // numbers: two Two crazy-ass dogs at rest

Two dogs in a rustic log cabin. A brindled mutt in the foreground, eyes closed, chin resting on her front legs. Only her head and legs are visible. In the background a tri-color border collie lies on top of an old wooden trunk. His head drooping off the edge.

#FotoVorschlag | 'Warten auf Godot' // waiting for Godot I found this Virgin Mary hanging out inside a glass sphere near a grave in a cemetery.

A statue of the Virgin Mary standing on a pedestal in a glass sphere near a grave in a cemetery, her image distorted by the waves and bubbles in glass. She has a dreamy, long-wait feel to her.

#FotoVorschlag | Vom Weg abgekommen // off the beaten path Off a single track dirt road off a somewhat larger dirt road we happened upon a place to camp directly on the rim of the Canyonlands National Park in SE Utah, which made for a nice place to have an […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

A woman sits on bare gravel on the edge of a high place overlooking the Canyonlands National Park in south eastern Utah. Scrubby piñons and junipers dot a shelf of high ground below the woman. Far beyond, cliffs and valleys of red sandstone.

#FotoVorschlag | Typisch für meinen Wohnort / meine Heimat I chose this photo not because there isn’t any beauty near my home; the bluffs and fields and forests really are beautiful. Rather, this photo represents the complex political and economic realities of […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Corn stubble round bakes lying in a corn field shorn of corn. Fog and trees in the distance. The round bales are wrapped in a mesh that creates an American flag.

#FotoVorschlag | lake or pond #DogsOfMastodon Milo contemplates the next leg of the BWCA journey.

A tri-color border collie sits on a slab of volcanic rock on the shore of a calm lake in the early morning. The lake reflects a cloudless blue sky. The collie looks attentively, as only a border collie can do, over the lake.

windows and a big porch overlook and eroded landscape showing what some wind and rain (and about 2.5 million years) can accomplish. Theodore Roosevelt Library near Medora, ND, USA #FensterFreitag #badlands

A view of a large porch and windows overlooking the Badlands, an eroded landscape composed of sedimentary rocks and clays. The photo shows a row of chairs placed on the porch and echoed in the large windows on either side of the porch. Above, the ceiling is composed of a wooden geometric structure highlighted by the light coming off the landscape. Three people stand silhouetted against the cloudy sky.

Found this fella on a long backcountry hike when we emerged from a coulee at Theodore Roosevelt NP in western ND (USA.) My partner was a little alarmed that I paused to photograph him before we hoofed in out of range, but I'm also the guy who goes outside to […] [Original post on mstdn.social]
