Haybale "pills"

I always love the way that rolled up hay-bales look like little pills or beads, scattered across the landscape.

Silver Comet Trail, Atlanta

In the Western suburbs of Atlanta, you can find the "Silver Comet Trail," a lovely rail-to-trail conversion dozens of miles long, passing through lush and shady woods.

Highway streetlight chain, Atlanta

I just liked the curve of these streetlights in the center of a highway on the West side of Atlanta, here shifted to greyscale to better pull out their form.

Fluffy pink blossoms, Atlanta

This tree covered with fluffy pink blossoms is apparently known as a "pink silk tree." I had never seen them before, but I came across them all over the place in Atlanta.

Tarnished spirit, Atlanta

This gigantic torch statue is one of the remnants of the 1996 Olympic Games that were hosted in Atlanta, Georgia.  Once it may have been great, but now it sits dull and apparently abandoned, ignored and tarnishing by the side of the highway.

Old bunker - fortifications in Boston Harbor

All around the New England coast you find generations of different abandoned fortifications, with different styles from different centuries and different wars.  This small bunker, decaying in the midst of Boston Harbor, I suspect is likely to date from World War I or World War II and to have been used for spotting invading German submarines.

Boston Harbor shining in the sunset

Sometimes, the light is just perfect for a moment and transforms everything into a new and strange fantastic landscape that you have never seen before.  This night, the setting sun lit up all the waterways of Boston into a golden glow, highlighting the texture of its surface and contrasting starkly with the silhouettes of buildings and watercraft.
