Revisited yet again

I'll explain later if I have time

Explanation: This picture was taken in SYRACUSE, NY, at the quarry ruins behind Syracuse Universities Skytop. I've taken several other versions of this same picture and will try to find them and link to them in case you are interested in the progressive degradation of the image by weather etc.

I find the image interesting, and provocative of "old age and treachery:" changes wrought by aging but also abuse.

I require further time to make the links.

Later: Here's one. This is an "art" piece I did from an earlier photo of this same image. It was sandwiched together with an image of dripping pain taken at the same location.

Eagle, Detroit Zoo

Eagle, Detroit Zoo, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. I did this photo for my Detroit Daily Photoblg, then made a quick smudge painting from it for Monday Artday's bird theme, so forgive the repetition, but I thought I'd post them both here. I may even post them to Silk Creek Portal, since that's MOSTLY a different audience. (For the overlapping people, I deeply apologize for the repetition).

Lake Bled Island and Water Lily

Photos by Mary Stebbins Taitt, from our honeymoon trip to Slovenia. For the Thursday (Photo) Challenge theme, beautiful. I loved Slovenia and think it was one of the most beautiful countries I ever visited.

What is beauty. I think of the old saying, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." and there is something to be said for that. Beauty resonates, is harmonious, is calming, soothing and healing.

The Dunes by Moonlight

The Dunes by Moonlight, by Mary Stebbins Taitt.

This is a sandwich of multiple time exposures of the dunes at the Pinery from our picnic table done using the collage option in Picasa. No other adjustments were made to any stage of this image (other than cropping.)

I have back-dated this post to the night I took the actual images. I was not on-line that night, since I was camping.

Juxtapositions
