on edit: Please add a power line shot to this thread for Solly!





Looked like we might have a nice sunrise this morning while out walking Snowy, so I took my little camera along.

From our lane ...









And later in the walk after the color was gone from the sky thought these shots might be interesting in B&W. It's the same tree
from different angles.

1. Very nice- But as an old telephone man I was distracted in the last one.

I was trying to see if that terminal and the lines leading from it are cable TV or telephone. I'm leaning to cable as the main line is really small to be copper telephone cable. Anyway I had trouble looking at the tree as my eyes keep focusing on the terminal. Old habits are hard to break. 2 years at the end of this month and I still look at telephony networks with an eye to admire or to criticize, more of the former these days.

2. Oh, mnhtnbb! Thank you! I am having a horrible time and this helped a lot.

I developed an embolism from surgery on top of everything else and my mood has not been a positive one.

Between Mira, you and everyone else, you have all been a comfort.

[mnhtnbb]

3. Yikes, Solly!

Have you been back in the hospital because of the embolism? Have they figured out the cause? Hope things get better SOON!

Enough is enough!

Sending some more healing vibes your way.

[Solly Mack]

4. They didn't admit me. The clot is in the right lung, and that's

actually a safer place to have one. Definitely caused by surgery. Happens from time to time to people. Lucky me.

I got emergency shots over 2 days (my husband injected me) and then put on a blood thinner for the next 3 months. I'll go back for another scan to check on my progress after I am done with my first bottle of blood thinners.

The pain, and clots do hurt like crazy, is all but gone. But they want to be safe, so 3 months treatment. Now I have to avoid hurting myself. It rains, it pours - but I'll get through this too. (hopefully)

32. Thanks, blm.

5. Oh dear......that can be scary....

holding the happiest thoughts for you....

[Solly Mack]

6. Thanks, dixiegrrrrl!

I had a feeling it was an embolism but wanted to be wrong. I didn't waste time getting to the ER.

It was scary until the very kind ER doctor explained everything to me. He really was nice and very helpful.

10. Oh gee, Solly Mack!

Went out today and caught one for you. Photobucket's not cooperating, so will show you later.

[Solly Mack]

12. Thanks, elleng!

If it's not one thing it's another. I'm beginning to feel old.

[CrispyQ]

7. The second one is really nice!

[elleng]

8. Nice. Have missed it,

but will go out to look for power lines for Solly Mack.

9. Here ya go

Snapped this on the side of the road while headed home awhile back.

This actually isn't too different from the jpeg straight from the camera. I did adjust the hue and saturation of the highlights in Lightroom. It brought out the blue sky. Also raised the shadows quite a bit to show the foreground. The pink and orange colors in the sky were already about like you see here.

[Solly Mack]

11. I love the juxtaposition of humankind's technology and nature's ball of energy.

It's a beautiful photo.

13. Suburb Birds on the wires for Solly Mack!

[Solly Mack]

14. A twofer!

Thank you!

[elleng]

15. You're welcome, Solly Mack.

HAPPY to see them, and glad I caught them!

[Adsos Letter]

16. You're in our thoughts, Solly Mack

And I am wishing you relief from pain, and swift recovery.

I took this a couple of years ago on a drive out to the Anza-Borrego desert, east of San Diego. I try to get out there whenever we visit my daughter.

edited to add this one too. This is right down on the California-Mexico border, east of San Diego.

19. Thank you!

Beautiful!

Hope you and the family are doing better. I think of you and yours often.

[Mira]

17. It's all I could find at the moment

and it does not qualify - but might amuse you. My grandson on a power bridge in the rain forest in Costa Rica



I have one proper shot I was looking for and will post it if I find it.

[Solly Mack]

20. That qualifies. Lines are a major draw for me with power lines.

Thanks, Mira!



Love the photo.

[hermetic]

18. Lines, lines, everywhere there's lines

Since this is actually happening right now, I decided to go no further than my doorway.





Hope you are doing well and feeling a bit better.

[Solly Mack]

21. Love all the lines! Don't blame you, I'd have stayed close to home too.

It's in the 80's here and sunny.

Thanks, hermetic!

[bluedigger]

22. Hope you feel better soon, Solly!

Not very good technically, but I like the atmosphere - Dauphine Street, Now Orleans.

[Solly Mack]

24. I love NOLA and that photo captures the night there.

Thank you, bluedigger!

[Mira]

23. Hopefully I can amuse you a little

Near sunset I was driving to an appointment. Saw this. Thought of you. Stopped at the side of the road at the local Salvation Army place, crossed it, and made my way through about 15 homeless men who watched me and greeted me back.
Had no clue if there were power lines, and sure enough I found some as I downloaded them.
What the heck, Solly Mack. Here they are, and what counts is I took them for you.

[Solly Mack]

25. I've got a thing for water towers too.

Love you!

Love, love the Wasserturm in downtown Mannheim. Favorite place to sit and relax. Bring a lunch and spend the day people watching or reading.

[Mira]

28. Would you believe I have a brother

who lives in Mannheim? Never visited him there. So I don't know that Wasserturm there. Lucky about that you like them

[Solly Mack]

30. I love Mannheim! Go visit if you can. You'll love Luisenpark.

Wild rabbits roam about the water tower and you'll also find ducks and geese. People and nature, in the heart of the city, happily being together.

26. Wishing you well, Solly.

Sending healing hugs.

[Solly Mack]

27. Thank you!

[Mira]

29. Real Power lines this time and a message

[Solly Mack]

33. I do! and I am so grateful that I can!

[elleng]

34. Too windy for birds, but caught this. MAYBE snow later.
