This is a old, scanned photo in portrait format of the Cunard liner 'Queen Elizabeth II' Moored in New York (1989). Rippled turquoise harbour water rises upwards to a little less than the quarter up level. In the centre of the image is the rounded stern of our moored ocean liner, viewed from behind with none of the ship's sides visible. There are stout lines stretched from the ship to the shore on the left. The hull is black, with less than a metre of bright red anti-fouling visible above the waterline. The superstructure above is white, with most of the stern area being open. On the upper deck two enclosed lifeboats are suspended from davits. In the centre is a large single funnel, the lower half being bright red, the upper half, black. The quay to the left is deep in shadow and not visible. Beyond the ship is the high-rise skyline of the west side of New York City with a hazy, clear and cloudless sky above. The QE2 was in service from 1969 to 2008 and is now laid-up in Dubai and repurposed as a hotel, similar to the earlier Cunard liner 'Queen Mary' that now resides in Long Beach, California.

Does anyone see a ghostly figure in this image?

Several years ago, the pond in my backyard froze over, melted, and refroze creating some very abstract patterns that I had to photograph.

This is a close-up sports photo in landscape format of a baseball game with one of the fielders throwing the ball. San Francisco (2015). The lower three-quarters of the image is filled with medium grey, very short, grass - it could be artificial? The upper quarter is packed with a crowd of spectators, heavily blurred out of focus, all sitting on tiered stands (bleacher). To the left of centre is our male baseball player, viewed nearly in profile and filling about three-quarters of the height of the photo. His right side and front are in view. He is wearing a baseball cap (no kidding), dark wraparound sunglasses, a white buttoned shirt with GIA on the right side and NTS on the left and white, belted trousers with a thin stripe on the side. His legs are slightly spread apart, he is leaning back with his right arm extended with a white ball in his hand as he is about to throw the ball from the left to the right of the image. Behind our player are a few distant players or referees, again heavily blurred out of focus. The location was the AT&T Park and the match was between the San Francisco Giants (GIA NTS - get it) and the Seattle Mariners.

This is a black and white photo in landscape format of a Norwegian Fish Flake (Hjell) with thousands of fish hanging and drying in the Arctic air. Svolvær, Norway (2023). Covering most of the image is the Fish Flake, viewed from the long side, made from wooden poles arranged in multiple 'A' frames with smaller poles running across horizontally and spaced at 1 metre intervals (about 16 in total) going up the frame. From these horizontal poles are strung, in this case, fish heads, in pairs. One head attached to another with a short length of string and the draped over the pole, one head on either side. On the top row of poles are a number of hungry looking Crows. Once all the fish have been laid out, a series of nets will be stretched over the frames to deter those hungry birds. Behind this Fish Flake is a further near parallel frame, again loaded with drying fish heads. In the distant background are the slopes of a partially snow covered mountain, the summit out of view. The location is Svolvær on the east coast of the rugged Lofoten Islands, In Norway's Arctic north.

This is a black and white, possibly abstract photo in landscape format of a flat bed railway truck in an abandoned factory siding. Beijing, PRC (2012). Stretching away from the camera from the centre of the base of the photo is a set of train tracks with 4 parallel corroded rails with patches of dry grass growing between the sleepers. There are 2 normally spaced rails of about 1 1/2 metres between, plus 2 further rails spaced a short distance outside the first 2. At the end of the track, about 5 metres away, viewed from the front, is a flat bed freight truck with 1 or 2 short bushes growing from and around it. Visible is the coupling, some pipes and the front set of dark and rusting wheels. To the right is a further set of tracks, elevated by about 1m supporting the base of an industrial gantry crane with only the first 2m of the dark metal supports visible. On the first support is a ladder with a rectangular white sign with 4 Chinese characters printed on it. In the background, immediately behind the freight truck is a brick built building with a tall rectangular window to the left. The location is the 798 Art District, the site of the former Factory #798 an old military arms factory now repurposed as an artistic community. While I am no expert on trains or tracks, I am guessing that the 4 parallel rails are from the historic Soviet influence where the Russian train tracks are spaced wider than the rest of the world, supposably to stop the invasion of Russia by train.

A somewhat unusual "Macintosh" for this year's MARCHintosh offering...

Here is my Atari 520ST running Spectre, a Macintosh emulator (or translator, perhaps more accurately) which features actual Macintosh Plus ROMs (user must provide) and in 1989 (along with Magic Sac which preceded it in 1986) was "the only legal Macintosh clone." Gadgets by Small, who made the device, called it 20% faster than a Mac Plus, with a 30% larger screen size (640x400 on the ST monochrome display vs. 512x342 on the early Macs). 

The Atari 520STm shown here features an 8MHz MC68000, has been expanded to 4MB RAM (up from 512K), features an HxC2001 floppy emulator, an ACSI2STM hard disk emulator, and dual Atari RGB and monochrome monitors, switchable with a Monitor Master switchbox. The 12-inch SM124 monitor showing Pinball Construction Set for Mac is nearly identical to the early Mac monochrome displays in terms of clarity, the distinctive bluish P4-class phosphor, and its overall "presence." It is a very nice display running at a rock-solid 71Hz.

(A similar series of devices, beginning with the A-Max, was released by ReadySoft for the Commodore Amiga in 1989, though I found the ST options more appealing, in large part due to the superb high-res, non-interlaced monochrome display the ST supported.)

This is a wildlife photo in landscape format of an adult Gentoo Penguin that's standing on the water's edge. Greenwich Island, Antarctica (2024). In the lower right corner is our Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis Papua), viewed in profile, facing to the left side of the camera and with the left side in view. The photo was shot with a 400mm lens and later cropped giving the impression of a seeing the Penguin from say 2 metres. Our Gentoo is standing upright, leaning slightly forwards and filling about 3/4 of the height of the image. In common with many Penguins the bird has a white front and black back. The head and neck area in the front is also black with a white patch over the eye and stretching over the head to the other side. The bird, having just left the sea is standing on a large rounded pebble that's on the edge of the water. In front are numerous well worn, rounded pebbles with a large chunk of ice in the lower left corner. Beyond the Penguin are some partially submerged and smooth large rocks. In the background are the dark and fairly calm Antarctic waters surrounding the island.

Zwei lila blühenden Blüten von Immergrün. Die obere Blüte ist vollständig geöffnet und zeigt fünf zarte, sternförmige Blütenblätter mit einem leicht helleren Zentrum. Die darunter liegende Blume ist noch nicht vollständig geöffnet. Beide Blüten sitzen an schlanken, grünen Stängeln. Umgeben sind die Blüten von zahlreichen dunkel- bis mittelgrünen Blättern des Immergrüns, die eine glänzende Oberflächenstruktur aufweisen und von feinen, helleren Adern durchzogen sind. Im Hintergrund ist eine Stück einer weißen Wand zu sehen.
