Ent by the Riverwalk

This magnificent tree appears to be guarding the Riverwalk from encroachment, in this case the Drury Inn in the background, which accommodates the tree by bending away. San Antonio, TX.

I have several photos of this as the boat swept by on the river, many from a fancier camera, and some of them are even "better framed". But this one has something to it, a presence, that all the others lack. Don't know what.

Uplifted Ground 3D

Public art installation along the walkway to the parking lots at the Austin-Bergstrom airport. Austin, TX.

"The hundreds of earth-toned, grounded and suspended elements of this large-scale artwork were inspired by local geological formations, native minerals, and aerial photography. During the day, the delicate reflection of the embedded metals is accompanied by shifting geometric patterns of shadow; at night, light emerges from the elements creating a graceful dance of light along the walkway. The artwork is also an integral part of the structural design for the walkway."

To perceive depth, cross eyes and superpose left image seen with right eye over right image seen with left eye.

Snow down

Branches hang heavy with accumulated snow. Stoneham, MA.

Vertical panorama, starting above eye level and going up, put together with Luminar. The built-in swept panorama is too distorted, so it was necessary to stitch multiple stills instead.

Terminal 5

When you walk out the jetway on arrival at Heathrow, sometimes you are at one end of the Terminal building, and you can look out and see what the roof looks like. This time there was a light dusting of snow, covering up weeds that have made their homes in between the concrete slabs. London, EN.
