Emptiness

Thematic Photographic 281 is Emptiness. After all the snow we've had here in Columbus, the skies are finally empty.


In other news, "Head's all empty and I don't care."


P.S. Here's something from National Geographic about Snowy Owls. It includes a picture from this fellow that is absolutely stunning. Click the link, you won't be sorry!

Windows in German Village

Carmi's newest thematic photographic is Windows. The first two are of a building that was vacant and abandoned for most of the years I've been here (some windows were boarded up, but a lot were just missing). About a year ago, restoration was begun.


Not only did this window in German Village catch my eye, I like that tree, too.

One of the nice sunsets we've been getting around here lately.

I've not done any recently, meself.  However, it is going on all around me.

Greetings from Tropical Columbus

I can't decide whether to go snorkeling in the Scioto River, or perhaps enjoy some margaritas on the beach at scenic Buckeye Lake.

Pity poor Randal up in arctic Clevelandistan.

Orbs for November 18

I was planning to post about Matty Yglesias, using a column Thers referenced and one other. Only just now did I notice that the 'other one' was written by Ezra Stiles Klein instead. Go figure!

So here are some pictures.

It appears we're safe here in Columbus, but what about Cleveland up there on the Great Lakes?


P.S. Brooks snake. I've been working on animating it, but it appears I'll have to do more than just the reflection trick that worked for Scott Walker Pedobear.
