mastodon 4.7.2Still seeking and learning. Dabbling in photography and astrophotography, all images mine except where noted. No AI, ever. May also post about the current US hellscape as well as music, sci-fi and other lit, pop culture, and other obsessions. No to patriarchy, white supremacy, imperialism, colonialism; yes to kindness, empathy, love, and justice. He/him. Black Lives Matter. Trans Rights are Human Rights. Science is Real. Abolish ICE. Free Palestine. Just trying to be decent in a world gone mad.
“Typisch für deine Stadt” / Typical for your city
Sharing a new edit of a favorite photo. Pigeons, tall buildings, and construction netting are everywhere in my city.

“Nebel, Dunst” / Fog, haze
One of my favorite fog photos. I’m very fond of these shipping cranes on the Brooklyn waterfront — they feel like giant neighborhood guardians to me.

“Technik” / Technology
The “book train” at the 42nd Street branch of the New York Public Library — a conveyor system that runs on 950 feet of vertical and horizontal tracks to deliver books from the underground stacks to the Rose Main Reading Room on the top floor. I was lucky enough to see it as part of a behind-the-scenes tour. More photos and video at the link in the comments.

“Objekte die mit ‘J’ beginnen” / Things that start with “J”
A few photos submitted for today’s theme were captioned “Jalousie” and had cats or other animals peering through blinds. Being a dumb non-German speaker, I assumed “Jalousie” meant jealousy and thought, “What a great interpretation — looking through a window at something you can’t have.” But it turns out it just means window blinds; I have a few photos of those!😅
Scenes from a blizzard.
Last weekend’s bomb cyclone dumped 20 inches of snow on New York, apparently the ninth highest total on record. These are some views from Brooklyn — more photos in the comments.

“Technik” / Technology
A very old artifact of information technology, consisting of hardware (colored ink on vellum sheets bound in a codex format) and software (ideas, narratives, and images stored for later retrieval, even into the far future). Improved by later technological advances, these data storage units were (and are) key to the flourishing of civilization.
