59th Street Bridge

(Details In The ) (Hand Written AltText)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensbo

This is a high contrast abstract, black and white photo in portrait format of the tower section of a historic cantilever road bridge brightly lit by the still low morning sun with a clear and cloudless sky rendered jet black. 59th Street Bridge, NYC (2012). The camera is angled steeply upwards at a section of the tower of this steel cantilever bridge. The white lattice and truss metal work is brightly lit by the just risen morning sun. The structure is an orderly jumble of straight lengths of steel, mostly trusses made up from metal formed into lattices and then riveted into a long box like trusses. Some of the lengths are vertical, some horizontal and a few diagonal. Just visible spanning the top are long lengths of steel plating, all of the lengths closely spaced together and extending from the anchorage, on land, over the towers to the far anchorage with vertical struts descending down and supporting the road deck below, which in this case is hidden below the base of the photo.

白馬岳山頂から西にある旭岳を眺めます。ガスに包まれて、印象的な景色でした。
白馬岳から雪倉岳を越えて朝日岳に至るの区間は歩いていないので回収に行かないといけません。鉱山道も歩いていないし、栂海新道も歩いていない。まだまだです。

The Morning Rush

(Details in the AltText) Described by Human

This is a black and white photo in landscape format of a scene at a busy airport with a Boeing 747 taxying in the foreground, a further 747 that's just taken-off, clouds and mountains in the background and a smaller aircraft on it's approach. LAX, California (2018). Stretching along the entire base of the photo is our taxying 747, taxying from left to right. The plane is viewed from slightly above, at a distance of 50m away and with the tail and right side in view. On the tail is a large logo of a plum blossom, while just aft of the nose are the words 'China Airlines' and 'CARGO' in larger lettering (Republic of China (Taiwan)). This aircraft is easily identified as a freighter since it has no passenger windows. Above the lettering is the distinctive hump that the 747 has for the upper deck and flight deck. A short distance beyond is the further 747 that has just taken-off. It is in the centre of the photo, above the first 747 and in-flight from right to left and about 100m from the first aircraft. This 747 has it's nose pointing skywards, it's undercarriage is still down and streams of heat haze can be seen extending behind the engines. This 747 has a longer upper deck stretching back to the leading edge of the wings with the words 'Asiana Airlines' just below the upper deck. In the middle background area is a row of medium-rise office and hotel buildings spreading from the left to the right side of the photo. Above and behind the buildings is a mass of low clouds sloping downwards from the upper right corner towards the middle of the left edge of the image. In the gap to the upper left side is the approaching aircraft, about 1km away, its gear and flaps down and landing lights on. In the far distance, again in the upper left corner is a range of snow covered mountains.

Buddha Tooth Relic Temple

(Details In The ) (Described by Human)

(Probably A Repeat)

This is a colour photo in portrait format of the front facade of a multi-floored, highly ornate and colourful, Buddhist temple located in Chinatown, Singapore (2012). Extending along the base of the photo is a string of multi-coloured, square flags that stretch from the left to the right edge of the photo, this is above the entrance which is out of view below. Above is a tiled, pitched roof that again stretches across the image. The roof is covered with glazed, grey, oriental tiles with a lintel that extends along the ridge of the roof with a large bright golden mythical figure head at each end of the ridge. Between the roof and the row of flags is a large rectangular plaque with a golden filagree surround and three large golden Chinese characters. The windows of the first floor are mostly obscured by the entrance roof. Above the first floor windows is a small roof leaning out in front of the building, one either side of the centre. These small roofs are again made from grey, glazed Chinese tiles. The second floor windows are clearly in view. The windows are a mix of vertical, rectangular and square shapes, all with a red wooden surrounds and with vertical open, green blinds inside. Between the two small overhanging roofs is a large central square window with a line of fifteen rectangular multi-coloured flags above, and a further ornate plaque with four golden Chinese characters. Above might be the third floor which is obscured by the small roofs. Above is the top floor which has a balcony with a red wooden railing at the front with a further string of flags stretching the entire width of the building and topped with one last plaque with four Chinese characters.

Washington Square

(Details In The ) (Hand Written AltText)

This is a black and white street photo in portrait format of two older Chinese ladies passing each other on a park footpath with two jets of water forming an 'X' over the ladies with much of the background obscured in a mist of spray. Washington Square, San Francisco (2013). In the immediate foreground is a patch of light grey toned grass with a footpath beyond that stretches across from left to right. On the far side of the footpath is more grass. The first part, beyond, rising up to the quarter up level, is lit by the morning sunlight. Beyond, the grass park rising up to the three-quarters up level is deep in shadow. In the centre of the photo are our two Chinese ladies, viewed from a few metres away, are walking in opposite directions and passing each other, shoulder-to-shoulder. The closer lady is walking from left to right, is wearing a white cap with a large visor, a dark fleece, dark trousers and white trainers. She is carrying a walking aid in her right hand that doubles as a walking stick and stool. Partially obscured by the first lady is our second Chinese lady, walking from right to left, wearing a large straw hat and dressed in a similar style to the first lady other than having a simple walking stick. Beyond our two ladies are the two strong jets of water, both angled upwards at about forty-five degrees and forming a 'X' as the two jets cross above the park. Surrounding this scene in the background is a misty cloud of water spray from the irrigating jets of water. Barely visible in the background and through the mist is a distant street scene, about ten metres away, with a few cars, trees and buildings evident.

Summer Window

📷️ Ricoh GRIIIX

This color photograph captures a window in an old wooden house. The room is immersed in semi-darkness, but the window is brightly illuminated by sunlight from outside. Light, translucent curtains with a delicate blue floral pattern hang on the window. The light filters through the thin fabric, illuminating it from within and creating a soft, diffused glow. Green garden leaves and sunbeams can barely be seen through the curtains. The dark wooden walls and window frame create a deep contrast, highlighting the glowing rectangle of the window. The image conveys a sense of peace, coziness, and quiet, sunny summer life.

The Morning Rush

(Details in the AltText) Described by Human

This is a black and white photo in landscape format of a scene at a busy airport with a Boeing 747 taxying in the foreground, a further 747 that's just taken-off, clouds and mountains in the background and a smaller aircraft on it's approach. LAX, California (2018). Stretching along the entire base of the photo is our taxying 747, taxying from left to right. The plane is viewed from slightly above, at a distance of 50m away and with the tail and right side in view. On the tail is a large logo of a plum blossom, while just aft of the nose are the words 'China Airlines' and 'CARGO' in larger lettering (Republic of China (Taiwan)). This aircraft is easily identified as a freighter since it has no passenger windows. Above the lettering is the distinctive hump that the 747 has for the upper deck and flight deck. A short distance beyond is the further 747 that has just taken-off. It is in the centre of the photo, above the first 747 and in-flight from right to left and about 100m from the first aircraft. This 747 has it's nose pointing skywards, it's undercarriage is still down and streams of heat haze can be seen extending behind the engines. This 747 has a longer upper deck stretching back to the leading edge of the wings with the words 'Asiana Airlines' just below the upper deck. In the middle background area is a row of medium-rise office and hotel buildings spreading from the left to the right side of the photo. Above and behind the buildings is a mass of low clouds sloping downwards from the upper right corner towards the middle of the left edge of the image. In the gap to the upper left side is the approaching aircraft, about 1km away, its gear and flaps down and landing lights on. In the far distance, again in the upper left corner is a range of snow covered mountains.

Swede’s Photographs

Blue Jay After the Molt

Blue jays during molting season crack me up. Here’s one with its head feathers just starting to come back—still a little muted—but the bird is as sassy as ever. I’ve come to think that their screams around the backyard are basically announcements to the rest of the crew that the buffet is open.

If you're enchanted by images of blue jays and other captivating corvids, dive into my photo gallery for a visual treat! Take a peek:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.c

"A blue jay perches on a curved metal rod, holding itself with that proud, upright posture jays are known for. Its feathers look slightly uneven, giving the impression of a bird recovering from a molt — patches of softer beige show along its underside, and the blues on its wings and tail appear a bit muted, like fresh paint still drying. Even so, the bird’s colors remain striking: deep cobalt on the wings, lighter sky‑blue on the tail, and crisp black markings tracing its face and crest. The jay’s beak is open mid‑call, as if it’s announcing its presence to the world or scolding some unseen rival. Its eyes are bright and alert, full of that mischievous intelligence blue jays carry. The background is softly blurred, a wash of gentle greens and browns that makes the bird stand out sharply, almost glowing against the muted backdrop. The curved metal rod beneath it adds a simple, elegant line to the scene, framing the bird without distracting from it. The overall feeling is one of resilience — a bird in transition, feathers renewing, voice strong, perched confidently as if reclaiming its place after a season of change." - Microsoft Copilot

Reflections

(Details In The ) (Described by Human)

This is an abstract architectural photo in portrait format of the lower floors of a high-rise office block with numerous faceted facades made up multiple panes of glass that reflect the clouds surrounding the building. Houston, Texas (2012). The camera is located about ten or more metres away and angled towards the centre of one of the facets comprising of a concave 'V' shape. From the centre, two tall walls of glass radiate outwards to the left and right edges of the photo. This part of the building has 15 floors in view., with some more out of view below the photo. Above, the facade reverses with a sharp edged, right angled corner in the centre of the image and the walls of glass viewed as a convex 'V' shape (this, though unseen, is the main square shaped, but tall tower block rising 64 floors). The entire walls are made up of uniform squares of glass set in silver frames. The glass, while reflecting a blue sky, are rendered black with the white fair weather cumulus clouds reflected in most of the panes of glass.

Blue Jay After the Molt

Blue jays during molting season crack me up. Here’s one with its head feathers just starting to come back—still a little muted—but the bird is as sassy as ever. I’ve come to think that their screams around the backyard are basically announcements to the rest of the crew that the buffet is open.

If you're enchanted by images of blue jays and other captivating corvids, dive into my photo gallery for a visual treat! Take a peek:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.c

"A blue jay perches on a curved metal rod, holding itself with that proud, upright posture jays are known for. Its feathers look slightly uneven, giving the impression of a bird recovering from a molt — patches of softer beige show along its underside, and the blues on its wings and tail appear a bit muted, like fresh paint still drying. Even so, the bird’s colors remain striking: deep cobalt on the wings, lighter sky‑blue on the tail, and crisp black markings tracing its face and crest. The jay’s beak is open mid‑call, as if it’s announcing its presence to the world or scolding some unseen rival. Its eyes are bright and alert, full of that mischievous intelligence blue jays carry. The background is softly blurred, a wash of gentle greens and browns that makes the bird stand out sharply, almost glowing against the muted backdrop. The curved metal rod beneath it adds a simple, elegant line to the scene, framing the bird without distracting from it. The overall feeling is one of resilience — a bird in transition, feathers renewing, voice strong, perched confidently as if reclaiming its place after a season of change." - Microsoft Copilot

Sea Fog

(Details in the AltText) (A Repeat?)

This is a black and white photo in landscape format of a cargo ship passing through a bank of thick sea fog and approaching the Golden Gate Bridge. San Francisco Bay (2017). A mass of sea fog fills the lower half of the photo, a little thinner in the lower left corner, a little thicker and more dense to the right. To the left and below centre in the zone of thinner fog, is the partial view of a cargo ship, with just the stern's white superstructure and less than a third of the aft section of the black hull in sight. The ship is underway from left to right, the stern and starboard (right) side in view and with what is visible of the ship, filling a little less than a quarter of the width of the photo. Aft of the ship is a long and narrow gap in the fog marking the vessel's passage. Either side of the photo's centre and about one km ahead of the ship are the tops of two towers of a large suspension bridge with only the upper ten metres and some of the suspender cables in view. Above is a nearly clear sky, rendered dark grey with a gossamer thin, wisp of high cirrus clouds, mainly in the upper left side of the image.

I still don't get what's the big deal about corn on everything

Photo of Lety sitting at an outdoor dining table holding a fish‐shaped, corn‐flavored ice cream sandwich with a big bite taken out of it during high noon. From top to bottom, her visible attire consists of: a floral red sundress. Lety is sitting on a brown metal chair at a matching outdoor dining table, holding her phone in her right hand to take a top‐down selfie that focuses on her torso. In her left hand is a corn‐flavored store‐bought samanco, the wrapper of her frozen dessert on the table in front of her, and green artificial turf around the floor behind her. Lety's late, former, ex‐fiancée… she'll never find the right words to describe their relationship, but someone Lety loved very much loved corn‐flavored everything. She's still trying to adjust to her lover's palette, three years after she's gone. A basic transcript of the samanco wrapper follows. Binggrae® It's Fintastic! SAMANCO CORN cake cone fish‐shaped frozen dairy dessert Artificially Flavored 150 mL (5.1 fl oz)

Photo of some Japanese foods on an outdoor concrete table at a park during noon. From left to right, the foods shown are strawberry-flavored Japanese matcha green tea from matcha LOVE, salmon and tuna nigirizushi, cherry blossom–themed lima bean mochigashi from Fugetsu-Do, and cherry blossom matcha cream–covered biscuit sticks from Pocky. Things are heavy here, but I took a moment to share lunch with some of my beloved's favorite foods and lasting memories. Two years gone, but love never leaves.

Promo photo of Lety on a large bed in a white room with big, open windows from her August 2020 III Plus + Plus Photoset, “Nice Neliatchi Day”. She's in gijinka cosplay of Neliatchi from Tamagotchi. From top to bottom, Lety is seen wearing a crown of cherry blossoms, a dusty green wig, and a pink one-piece lingerie with a little amber broach between her boobs. In her right hand is her Tamagotchi Pix, a close-up of Neliatchi displayed on its screen, and the device attached to her wrist with a string of jade beads. Lety's kneeling on the bed, her right index finger brought to her cheek as she smiles at the camera. On the wall behind her is a giant pixel art sprite of Neliatchi made of black construction paper. Lety is mourning and doesn't want to talk much, but she also doesn't want to look back at the first anniversary of her former fiancée's death just to see that she said nothing. And so, she chose to share this message along with this outfit her lover really liked instead.

Hallo zusammen, ich hoffe, Ihr hattet schon einen angenehmen Sonntag 🙂 Hier habe ich noch eine schöne, bunte mitgebracht 🌈

Das Foto zeigt eine Treppe deren Stufen in Regenbogenfarben bemalt sind, rechts und links davon sind Rolltreppen. Die Umgebung ist hell beleuchtet, alle Treppen enden im Licht. The photo shows a staircase whose steps are painted in rainbow colors, with escalators to the right and left. The surroundings are brightly lit, all the stairs end in light.

In ein verlassenes Haus sind weiße Tauben eingezogen. Sie sitzen auf den Sprossen des glaslosen bodentiefen Fensters, eine ganz oben rechts. Im linken Fensterflügel sind noch drei, zwei davon verschwinden fast hinter dem Balkongitter, die dritte ist darüber halb zu sehen. White pigeons have moved into an abandoned house. They sit on the bars of the glassless floor-to-ceiling window, one at the top right. There are three more in the left-hand casement, two of them almost disappear behind the balcony grille, the third is half visible above it.

Oh cool, it's . Surely this is what was meant for. What else could it possibly mean???

Promo photo of Lety on a large bed in a white room with big, open windows from her August 2020 III Plus + Plus Photoset, “Nice Neliatchi Day”. She's in gijinka cosplay of Neliatchi from Tamagotchi. From top to bottom, Lety is seen wearing a crown of cherry blossoms, a dusty green wig, a pink one-piece lingerie with a little amber broach between her boobs, and white floral lace sneakers. She is standing on her knees and using her forearms to push her boobs together as she sticks her tongue out for the camera. Lety's glad the pose seems vaguely appropriate for Tongue Out Tuesday because she's been looking for an excuse to share these photos. She was wearing this outfit the last time someone very important to her called her beautiful.
