Ain't no money in poetry, that's what sets the poet free
--Guy Clark
Photography is a visual sort of poetry. Pays about as well as the written variety too. It's all good though, whitey's on the moon. Or whatever you call that stunt with Katy Perry.
Gil Scott-Heron, we could use you now. In Communist China, the government puts up cameras outside people's doors to monitor their comings and goings. In capitalist America, people pay corporations for the privilege of using their camera as a doorbell. Smile!
Can't decide if Mother Nature has an absurdist streak or just a penchant for mocking humanity's hubris. Either way, it's probably best just to hijack the Ark and run up the Jolly Roger.
There ain't no such thing as free parking. The city once towed my car over parking tickets, was less than thrilled with me when I called the cops and reported it stolen.
Think sleep is calling the cops on me, so I'd better get on out of here. Guess I did it this time. . .
What happened to this picnic area? Is it flooded? Is this normal?
Thanks for sharing your photos, they really have a back story on each of the images.
It was flooded, couple months back we got about 7 inches of rain in a day and the Ohio River got up out of its banks. It's not a regular thing but it isn't particularly unusual either, most years it doesn't happen but this year it has happened twice. The picnic area is in a park along the river, which has a sort of dual purpose as a buffer between the river and downtown Louisville.
Thank you, and thanks for dropping by and checking it out!
This happens because of global warming, and Mother Earth is like giving it back to humans what they do to nature.
Thank you so much for that information. I appreciate it very much. Have a great day ahead!
Yes, please, bring me a hot chocolate? hahaha....
I loved this post.
Ha, a hot chocolate and maybe a blazing fire, it was well below freezing the day I shot that.
Great shots and what a good text! Have a nice day @coloneljethro friend!
Thank you! Have a good one yourself @dimascastillo90 friend!
The results are very cool, my friend, indeed your mastery of shooting should not be doubted, the results are always amazing.
Thank you my friend!
It is very true what you say that photography is a visual poetry, totally agree with you, very good you have shared today.
Thank you! It has its own rhyme and rhythm but poetry none the less :)
Cool photos of yours Friend, I really amazed specially the first picture about Smile Youre on Camera. ☺
Thank you friend, that one really caught my eye too :)
After converting the pictures to black and white, their beauty becomes much greater. It is quite hot in our city at the moment.
We're still working our way to hot. Is your country going to have a war with India again?
